 2 








 The Issuer hereby engages Clayton to act as the Asset Representations Reviewer for the Issuer.
Clayton hereby accepts the engagement and agrees to perform the obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer on the terms stated in this Agreement. 

Section 2.02 Eligibility of Asset Representations Reviewer. 

Clayton represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Sponsor that it is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations
Reviewer will notify the Issuer, the Sponsor and the Servicer promptly if it is not, or on the occurrence of any action that would result in it not being, an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. 

Section 2.03 Independence of the Asset Representations Reviewer. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will be an independent contractor and will not be subject to the supervision of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee for the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Unless expressly authorized by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, the Asset Representations Reviewer
will have no authority to act for or represent the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, respectively, and will not be considered an agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee. Nothing in this Agreement will make
the Asset Representations Reviewer and any of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee members of any partnership, joint venture or other separate entity or impose any liability as such on any of them. 

ARTICLE III. 
 DUTIES OF
THE ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER 
 Section 3.01 Review Scope. 

The parties confirm that the Asset Representations Review is not responsible for (a) reviewing the Receivables for compliance with the
representations and warranties under the Transaction Documents, except as described in this Agreement or (b) determining whether noncompliance with the representations and warranties constitutes a breach of the Eligibility Representations. For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties confirm that the review is not designed to determine why an Obligor is delinquent or the creditworthiness of the Obligor, either at the time of any Asset Review or at the time of origination of the related
Receivable. Further, the Asset Review is not designed to establish cause, materiality or recourse for any Test Fail (as defined in Section 3.05). 

Section 3.02 Review Notices. 

Upon receipt of (i) a Review Notice from the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 7.6(b) of the Indenture and
(ii) the Review Materials in accordance with Section 3.03 of this Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start an Asset Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to begin, and may not begin, an
Asset Review until the Asset Representations Reviewer receives a Review Notice. Within ten Business Days of receipt of a Review Notice, the Servicer shall provide the list of Subject Receivables to the Asset Representations Reviewer in the format
selected by the Servicer to the address specified in Section 9.02. 

  
 3 








 None of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Sponsor or the Asset Representations Reviewer is obligated
to verify whether the Indenture Trustee properly determined that a Review Notice was required. None or the Issuer, the Sponsor or the Asset Representations Reviewer is obligated to verify the accuracy or completeness of the list of Subject
Receivables provided by the Servicer. 
 Section 3.03 Review Materials. 

The Servicer will provide reasonable assistance to the Asset Representations Reviewer to facilitate the Asset Review. Within 60 days of
receipt by the Servicer of the Review Notice, the Servicer will provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with the Review Materials for all Subject Receivables in one or more of the following ways, as elected by the Servicer: (i) by providing
access to the Servicer’s receivables system, either remotely or at one or more of the properties of the Servicer; (ii) by electronic posting of Review Materials to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer
has access; (iii) by providing originals or photocopies at one or more of the properties of the Servicer where the Receivable Files are located; (iv) by sending originals or photocopies of Review Materials to the Asset Representations
Reviewer at the address specified in Section 9.02; or (v) in another manner agreed to by the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Servicer may redact or remove Personally Identifiable Information from the Review
Materials so long as such redaction or removal does not result in a change in the meaning or usefulness of the Review Materials. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be liable for any failure of the Review Materials to be accurate and
complete, including any failure that results in the Review Materials being misleading in any material respect. 
 Section 3.04
Missing or Incomplete Review Materials. 
 The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Tests for each Eligible
Representation only using documentation that is made available to it. Upon receipt of the Review Materials, the Asset Representations Reviewer will complete an initial document inventory to verify there are no systemic documentation errors,
including but not limited to consistently missing or incomplete information in the Review Materials with respect to each Subject Receivable. Once the Asset Representations Reviewer has confirmed the majority of the Review Materials have been
provided in accordance with Section 3.03, the Asset Representations Reviewer will commence the Asset Review. In instances where Review Material is not accessible, clearly unidentifiable, and/or illegible, the Asset Representations
Reviewer will request that the Servicer (with a copy to the Sponsor) provide an updated copy of such Review Material. If the Servicer and the Sponsor have not provided the missing Review Material for a Subject Receivable to the Asset Representations
Reviewer within 60 days of notification by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the parties agree that such Subject Receivable will have a Test Incomplete for the related Test(s) and the Review Report will indicate the reason for the Test Incomplete.


  
 4 








 Section 3.05 The Asset Review. 

For an Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform the applicable procedures listed under “Tests” in Exhibit A for
each Eligibility Representation. In the course of its review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will use the Review Materials listed in Exhibit A. For each Test, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine if the Test has been satisfied (a
“Test Pass”), if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”) or if the Test could not be concluded as a result of missing or incomplete Review Materials (a “Test Incomplete”). 

If a Subject Receivable was included in a prior Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not conduct additional Tests on any such
duplicate Subject Receivable unless such Subject Receivable was deemed a Test Incomplete as a result of the failure of the Servicer and the Sponsor to provide missing Review Materials for such Subject Receivable and the Sponsor elects to have such
Subject Receivable included in the current Asset Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will include the previously reported Test results for any such duplicate Subject Receivable within the Review Report for the current Asset Review. 

Section 3.06 Review Period. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Review within 60 days of receiving access to the Review Materials in accordance with
Section 3.03 (such time period, the “Review Period”); provided, that if additional Review Materials are provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer as described in Section 3.04, the Review Period
will be extended for an additional 30 days. 
 Section 3.07 Review Report. 

Within five Business Days following the end of the applicable Review Period described in Section 3.06, the Asset Representations
Reviewer will provide the Issuer, the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee with (i) a report (a “Review Report”) specifying for each Subject Receivable whether there was a Test Pass, a Test Fail, a Test Incomplete
(as contemplated by Section 3.05) or a Test Complete (as contemplated by Section 3.08) for each Test and Subject Receivable and (ii) the related Review Invoice. The Review Report will include a summary of the findings
and conclusions of the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the Asset Review to be included in the Form 10-D for the Issuer for the Collection Period in which the Review Report is received. The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure
that the Review Report does not contain any Personally Identifiable Information. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to forward the Review Report to any Noteholder or any other person. 

Section 3.08 Completion of Review for Certain Subject Receivables. 

Following the delivery of the list of the Subject Receivables and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations
Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a Subject Receivable is paid in full by or on behalf of the Obligor or purchased from the Issuer by the Sponsor or the Servicer in accordance with the Transaction Documents. On
receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of such Receivables and the Asset Review of such Receivables will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, the Review Report
will indicate a Test Complete for the Receivables and the related reason. 

  
 5 








 Section 3.09 Termination of Review. 

If an Asset Review is in process and the Notes will be paid in full on the next Payment Date (including any payment in full as a result of any
early redemption of the Notes), the Servicer will notify the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee no less than ten days before that Payment Date. On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Asset
Review immediately and will not be obligated to deliver a Review Report. 
 Section 3.10 Review and Procedure Limitations. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation (i) to determine whether a Delinquency Trigger has occurred, (ii) to
determine whether the required percentage of Noteholders has voted to direct an Asset Review and may rely on the information in any Review Notice delivered by the Indenture Trustee, (iii) to determine which Receivables are Subject Receivables
and may rely on the list of Subject Receivables provided by the Servicer, (iv) to confirm the validity of the Review Materials, (v) other than as specified in Section 3.03, to obtain missing or insufficient Review Materials, or
(vi) to take any action or to cause any other party to take any action under any of the Transaction Documents to enforce any remedies for any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, including any Eligibility Representation. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall only be required to perform the testing procedures listed under “Tests” in Exhibit
A, and shall have no obligation to perform additional testing procedures on any Subject Receivables or to consider any additional information provided by any party. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no obligation to provide reporting
or other information other than the Review Report described in Section 3.07. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer may provide additional information about any Subject Receivable that it determines in good faith to be material to
its performance of an Asset Review. 
 Section 3.11 Review Systems. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall maintain and utilize an electronic case management system to manage the Tests and to provide
systematic control over each step in the Asset Review process and ensure consistency and repeatability for the Tests. The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that these systems allow for each Subject Receivable and the related Review
Materials to be individually tracked and stored as contemplated by this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain adequate staff that is properly trained to conduct Asset Reviews as required by this Agreement. 

Section 3.12 Representatives. 

(a) Servicer Representative. The Servicer will provide reasonable access to one or more designated representatives to respond to
reasonable requests and inquiries made by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its completion of an Asset Review. 

  
 6 








 (b) Asset Representations Review Representative. The Asset Representations Reviewer will
provide reasonable access to one or more designated representatives to respond to reasonable requests and inquiries made by the Servicer, the Sponsor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s completion of
an Asset Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no obligation to respond to requests or inquires, and other than as specified in Section 3.13 shall not respond to requests or inquiries, made by any Person not party to this
Agreement other than the Indenture Trustee; provided, that if the Asset Representations Reviewer receives any request or inquiry from a Person not a party to this Agreement, then the Asset Representations Reviewer may inform such Person that
they may contact the Servicer and/or the Indenture Trustee with respect to such request or inquiry. 
 Section 3.13 Dispute
Resolution. 
 If a Subject Receivable that was reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer during an Asset Review is the subject of
a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall participate in the dispute resolution proceeding on request of a party to the proceeding. The reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable compensation of the Asset Representations Reviewer for its participation in any dispute resolution proceeding will be considered expenses of the Requesting Party for the dispute resolution and (subject to
Section 4.03) will be paid by a party to the dispute resolution as determined by the mediator or arbitrator for the dispute resolution according to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

Section 3.14 Records Retention. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain copies of Review Materials, Review Reports and internal work papers and correspondence
(collectively the “Client Records”) for a period of two years after the termination of this Agreement. At the expiration of the retention period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall return all Client Records to the Servicer, in
electronic format or, to the extent held in tangible form, in that form. Upon the return of the Client Records, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no obligation to retain such Client Records or to respond to inquiries concerning any Asset
Review. 
 Section 3.15 No Delegation. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer may not delegate or subcontract its obligations under this Agreement to any Person without the consent of
the Issuer, the Sponsor and the Servicer. 
 ARTICLE IV. 

PAYMENTS TO ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW 

Section 4.01 Annual Fee. 

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to receive an annual fee in an amount equal
to $7,500.00 (the “Annual ARR Fee”) during the term of this Agreement, which shall be paid by or on behalf of the Sponsor within 30 days of 

  
 7 








 
the date hereof, with respect to the initial Annual ARR Fee, and within 30 days of the annual anniversary of this Agreement with respect to each subsequent Annual ARR Fee; provided, however, that
if the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns or is removed in accordance with Section 6.02, then the Asset Representations Reviewer shall refund to the Sponsor the portion of the Annual ARR Fee attributable to the portion of the annual
period during which Clayton will no longer act as the Asset Representations Reviewer, assuming for purposes of such calculation that the Annual ARR Fee for each day during the annual period is an amount equal to the Annual ARR Fee divided by 365.

 Section 4.02 Review Fee. 

Following the completion of an Asset Review and delivery to the Indenture Trustee, the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Issuer of the Review
Report and the related Review Invoice, the Sponsor shall pay to the Asset Representations Reviewer a fee of $200.00 for each Subject Receivable for which the Asset Review was completed plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with travel to the location at which Review Materials are made available in accordance with Section 3.03 (the “Review Fee”). However, no Review Fee will be charged for any Subject Receivable which was included in a prior
Asset Review or for which no Tests were completed prior to the Asset Representations Reviewer being notified of a termination of the Asset Review according to Section 3.09. To the extent not paid by the Sponsor and outstanding for at
least 90 days after receipt by the Indenture Trustee, the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Issuer of the Review Invoice, the Review Fee shall be paid by the Issuer pursuant to the priority of payments sets forth in Section 4.4 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no aggregate limit on the Review Fee paid by the Sponsor to the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to this
Section 4.02. 
 Section 4.03 Dispute Resolution Expenses. 

If the Asset Representations Reviewer participates in a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 3.13 and its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable compensation for the time it incurs in participating in the proceeding are not paid by a party to the dispute resolution within ninety (90) days of the end of the proceeding, the Sponsor will reimburse the
Asset Representations Reviewer for such expenses upon receipt of a detailed invoice. 

  
 8 








 Section 4.04 Payment. 

All payments made to the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be made to the account specified by the Asset Representations Reviewer from time
to time in writing to the Indenture Trustee, the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Issuer. 
 Section 4.05 Payments by the Issuer.

 The Asset Representations Reviewer acknowledges and agrees that any payments payable by the Issuer under this Agreement, including
pursuant to this Article IV or Section 5.03, shall be limited to amounts available to make such payments pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture, as
applicable. 
 ARTICLE V.

Section 5.01 Representations and Warranties of the Asset Representations Reviewer. 

Clayton hereby makes the following representations and warranties as of the date hereof: 

(a) Existence and Power. Clayton is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of
formation and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate its business as presently owned or operated, and to execute, to deliver and to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Clayton has obtained all
necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of Clayton to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 

(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by Clayton of the Transaction Documents to which it is a
party have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of Clayton and do not contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or
(iii) any material indenture or material agreement or instrument to which Clayton is a party or by which its properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations, organizational documents, indentures, agreements or
instruments which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by, or Clayton’s ability to
perform its obligations under, this Agreement). 
 (c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with, any
Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Clayton of this Agreement other than (i) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings that have previously been made
and (ii) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of Clayton to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 

  
 9 








 (d) Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
Clayton enforceable against Clayton in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of corporations from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity. 

(e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, orders, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Clayton, threatened against
Clayton before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or (ii) seek any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by Clayton of its
obligations under this Agreement. 
 (f) Eligibility. The Asset Representations Reviewer is an Eligible Asset Representations
Reviewer. 
 Section 5.02 Limitation of Liability of Asset Representations Reviewer. 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be under any liability to the Issuer, the
Servicer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, any Noteholder or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of an action in its capacity as Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to this Agreement,
or for errors in judgment, whether arising from express or implied duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Asset Representations Reviewer against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of this Agreement or negligence in the performance of its duties. In no event will the Asset Representations Reviewer be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage
(including loss of profit) even if the Asset Representations Reviewer has been advised of the likelihood of the loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer and any director, officer, employee, or agent may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima
facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its
duties as Asset Representations Reviewer hereunder. 
 Section 5.03 Indemnification of Asset Representations Reviewer. 

(a) The Sponsor will indemnify the Asset Representations Reviewer and its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an
“Indemnified Person”), for all costs, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities resulting from the performance of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this Agreement (including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any loss, damage or liability), but excluding any cost, expense, loss, damage or liability resulting from (i) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence or (ii) the Asset
Representations Reviewer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement. To the extent not paid by the Sponsor, any such indemnification amounts shall be paid by the Issuer pursuant to the priority of payments
set forth in Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture, as applicable. 

  
 10 








 (b) The indemnification set forth in this Section 5.03 will survive the termination
of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer. 
 Section 5.04 Indemnification by Asset
Representations Reviewer. 
 (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall indemnify and hold
harmless each of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Sponsor and the Indenture Trustee, and its officers, directors, successors, assigns, legal representatives, agents, and servants (each an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, taxes, claims, actions, investigations, proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,

 ARTICLE VII. 

TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

Section 7.01 Confidential Information. 

(a) Confidential Information Defined. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means nonpublic
proprietary information of a party (the “Disclosing Party”) that is disclosed to the other party (the “Receiving Party”), including but not limited to: (i) business or technical processes, formulae, source
codes, object code, product designs, sales, cost and other unpublished financial information, customer information, product and business plans, projections, marketing data or strategies, trade secrets, intellectual property rights, know-how,
expertise, methods and procedures for operation, information about employees, customer names, business or technical proposals, and any other information which is or should reasonably be understood to be confidential or proprietary to the Disclosing
Party; (ii) PII (as defined in Section 7.02 of this Agreement). The foregoing definition of Confidential Information applies to: (i) all such information, whether tangible or intangible and regardless of the medium in which it
is stored or presented; and (ii) all copies of such information, as well as all memoranda, notes, summaries, analyses, computer records, and other materials prepared by the Receiving Party or any of its employees, agents, advisors, directors,
officers, and subcontractors (collectively “Representatives”) that contain or reflect the Confidential Information. 

  
 13 








 (b) Use of Confidential Information. Each party acknowledges that during the term of this
Agreement it may be exposed to or acquire Confidential Information of the other party or its Affiliates. The Receiving Party shall hold the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in strict confidence and will not disclose such information
except to its Representatives who have a need to know such information for the purpose of effecting the terms and conditions of this Agreement and who have entered into an agreement with the Receiving Party with confidentiality restrictions
materially equivalent to those contained herein. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for the breach of this Agreement by any of its Representatives. The Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using the
same degree of care that it uses to protect its own information of like import, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable standard of care. 

(c) Exceptions. Confidential Information shall not include, and this Agreement imposes no obligations with respect to, information that:

  

	 	(i)	is or becomes part of the public domain other than by disclosure by a party in violation of this Agreement; 

  

	 	(ii)	was disclosed to a party prior to the effective date of this Agreement without a duty of confidentiality; 

  

	 	(iii)	is independently developed by a party outside of this Agreement and without reference to or reliance on any Confidential Information of the other party; or 


 

	 	(iv)	was obtained from a third party not known after reasonable inquiry to be under a duty of confidentiality. 


The foregoing exceptions shall not apply to any PII, which shall remain confidential in all circumstances, except as required or permitted to
be disclosed by applicable law, statute, or regulation. 
 (d) Disclosure by Operation of Law. If either party is requested to
disclose all or any part of any Confidential Information under a subpoena, or inquiry issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial or administrative agency or legislative body or committee, such party shall (i) to the extent
permitted by law, promptly notify the other party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request; (ii) consult with the other party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request and
cooperate with such Party on any steps it considers advisable; and (iii) if disclosure of the Confidential Information is required or deemed advisable, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an order, stipulation or other reliable
assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information to be disclosed. Each party shall reimburse the other party for reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with such party’s
effort to comply with this section. 
 (e) Return of Confidential Information. Upon the request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving
Party shall return all Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party provided to it pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, (i) the Receiving Party shall be permitted to retain copies of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential
Information solely for archival, audit, disaster recovery, legal and/or regulatory purposes, and (ii) neither party will be required to search archived electronic back-up files of its computer systems for the other party’s


  
 14 








 
Confidential Information in order to purge the other party’s Confidential Information from its archived files; provided further, that any Confidential Information so retained will
(x) remain subject to the obligations and restrictions contained in this Agreement, (y) will be maintained in accordance with the retaining party’s document retention policies and procedures, and (z) the retaining party will not
use the retained Confidential Information for any other purpose. 
 (f) Remedies. The parties agree that an actual or threatened
breach of this Section by it or its Representatives may cause irreparable damage to the Disclosing Party and that damages may not be an adequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, each party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to
restrain any such breach, threatened or actual, without the necessity of posting bond, in addition to any other remedies available to such party at law or in equity. 

Section 7.02 Safeguarding Personally Identifiable Information. 

(a) Definition. “Personally Identifiable Information”, or “PII”, means information in any format about
an identifiable individual, including, name, address, phone number, e-mail address, account number(s), identification number(s), any other actual or assigned attribute associated with or identifiable to an individual and any information that when
used separately or in combination with other information could identify an individual, as further described in § 501(b) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information
(12 C.F.R. Section 208, Appendix D-2) (collectively, the “Privacy Laws”), that is provided or made available to the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to this Agreement. 

(b) Non-Disclosure. To the extent the Asset Representations Reviewer receives Personally Identifiable Information in the performance its
obligations hereunder, the Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that it will not disclose or use any Personally Identifiable Information except (i) to the extent necessary to carry out its obligations under the Agreement and for no other
purpose; or (ii) as may be required by valid operation of law.

physical safeguards: (i) to ensure the security and confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information; (ii) to protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Personally Identifiable Information; and
(iii) to protect against unauthorized acquisition of, access to or use of Personally Identifiable Information which could result in a “breach” as that term is defined under applicable Privacy Laws.

and information security systems, policies and procedures as the Issuer may reasonably request relating to compliance with this Agreement and applicable Privacy Laws. The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees to provide training in the Privacy Laws
and the Asset Representations Reviewer’s information security policies to all personnel whose duties pursuant to this Agreement could bring them in contact with Personally Identifiable Information. 

  
 15 








 (e) Breach. In the event of any actual or apparent theft, unauthorized use or disclosure
of any Personally Identifiable Information, the Asset Representations Reviewer will commence all reasonable efforts to investigate and correct the causes and remediate the results thereof, and as soon as practicable following discovery of any such
event, provide the Issuer and the Sponsor notice thereof, and such further information and assistance as may be reasonably requested.
