 BACKGROUND 

In the normal course of its business, CRB purchases retail installment sale contracts secured by new and used cars, light trucks and utility
vehicles from motor vehicle dealers. 
 In connection with a securitization transaction sponsored by CRB, CRB sold a pool of Receivables
consisting of retail installment sale contracts to the Depositor, who sold them to the Issuer. 
 The Issuer has granted a security interest
in the pool of Receivables to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Notes issued by the Issuer under the Indenture. 

The Issuer has determined to engage the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform reviews of certain Receivables for compliance with the
representations and warranties made by CRB and the Depositor about the Receivables in the pool.

 ARTICLE III 

ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW PROCESS 

Section 3.1. Review Notices. On receipt of a Review Notice from the Indenture Trustee according to Section 7.2 of the
Indenture, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start a Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to start a Review until a Review Notice is received. 

Section 3.2. Identification of Review Receivables. Within ten Business Days after receipt of a Review Notice, the Servicer will
deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee a list of the Review Receivables. 
 Section 3.3. Review
Materials. 
 (a) Access to Review Materials. The Servicer will give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Review
Materials for all of the Review Receivables within 60 days after receipt of the Review Notice in one or more of the following ways: (i) by providing access to the Servicer’s receivables systems, either remotely or at an office of the
Servicer, (ii) by electronic posting to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has access, (iii) by providing originals or photocopies at an office of the Servicer where the Receivable Files are located or
(iv) in another manner agreed by the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Servicer may redact or remove Personally Identifiable Information from the Review Materials without changing the meaning or usefulness of the Review
Materials for the Review. 
 (b) Missing or Insufficient Review Materials. The Asset Representations Reviewer will review the Review
Materials to determine if any Review Materials are missing or insufficient for the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform any Test. If the Asset Representations Reviewer determines any missing or insufficient Review Materials, the Asset
Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer promptly, and in any event no less than 20 days before completing the Review. The Servicer will have 15 days to give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the missing Review
Materials or other documents or information to correct the insufficiency. If the missing Review Materials or other documents have not been provided by the Servicer within 15 days, the related Review Receivable will have a Test Fail for the Test
or Tests that require use of the missing or insufficient Review Materials. If the Contract for any Review Receivable is not provided or is illegible, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be unable to perform any Tests and the related Review
Receivable will have an overall Test Fail for all Tests. In either of these cases, the Test or Tests will be considered completed and the Review Report will report a Test Fail for the related Review Receivable or applicable representation or
warranty and the reason for the Test Fail. 
 Section 3.4. Performance of Reviews. 

(a) Test Procedures. For a Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform for each Review Receivable the procedures listed
under “Tests” in Schedule B for each representation and warranty (each, a “Test”), using the Review Materials necessary to perform 

  
 4 








 
the procedures as stated in the Test. For each Test and Review Receivable, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”) or if the
Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”). 
 (b) Review Period. The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the
Review of all of the Review Receivables within 60 days after receiving access to the Review Materials under Section 3.3(a). However, if missing or additional Review Materials are provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer under
Section 3.3(b), the Review period will be extended for an additional 30 days. 
 (c) Completion of Review for Certain Review
Receivables. Following the delivery of the list of the Review Receivables and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a Review Receivable is
paid in full by the Obligor or purchased from the Issuer by CRB, the Depositor or the Servicer according to the Basic Documents. On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of such Receivables and
the 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. 

(d) Previously Reviewed Receivable; Duplicative Tests. If any Review Receivable was included in a prior Review, the Asset
Representations Reviewer will not perform any Tests on it, but will include the results of the previous Tests in the Review Report for the current Review. If the same Test is required for more than one representation or warranty listed on
Schedule B, the Asset Representations Reviewer will only perform the Test once for each Review Receivable but will report the results of the Test for each applicable representation or warranty on the Review Report. 

(e) Termination of Review. If a Review is in process and the Notes will be paid in full on the next Payment Date, 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 Review immediately and will not be obligated to deliver a
Review Report. 
 Section 3.5. Review Reports. Within five days after the end of the Review period under Section 3.4(b),
the Asset Representations Reviewer will deliver to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee a Review Report indicating for each Review Receivable whether there was a Test Pass or a Test Fail for each Test, or whether the Review Receivable
was an overall Test Fail (for a missing or illegible Contract) or a Test Complete. For each Test Fail, overall Test Fail or Test Complete, the Review Report will indicate the related reason. The Review Report will contain a summary of the Review
results to be included in the Issuer’s Form 10-D report 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 Issuer PII. On reasonable
request of the Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide additional detail on the Test results. 

  
 5 








 Section 3.6. Review Representatives. 

(a) Servicer Representative. The Servicer will designate one or more representatives who will be available to assist the Asset
Representations Reviewer in performing the Review, including responding to requests and answering questions from the Asset Representations Reviewer about access to Review Materials on the Servicer’s originations, receivables or other systems,
obtaining missing or insufficient Review Materials and/or providing clarification of any Review Materials or Tests. 
 (b) Asset
Representations Reviewer Representative. The Asset Representations Reviewer will designate one or more representatives who will be available to the Issuer and the Servicer during the performance of a Review. 

(c) Questions About Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will make appropriate personnel available to respond in writing to
written questions or requests for clarification of any Review Report from the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the Notes and (ii) one year after the delivery of the Review Report. The Asset
Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to respond to questions or requests for clarification from Noteholders or any other Person and will direct such Persons to submit written questions or requests to the Indenture Trustee. 

Section 3.7. Dispute Resolution. If a Receivable that was Reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer is the subject of a
dispute resolution proceeding under Section 3.04 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer will participate in the dispute resolution proceeding on request of a party to the proceeding. The reasonable expenses 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 will be paid by a party to the dispute resolution as determined by the
mediator or arbitrator for the dispute resolution according to Section 3.04 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If not paid by a party to the dispute resolution, the expenses will be reimbursed by the Issuer according to Section 4.3(d).

 Section 3.8. Limitations on Review Obligations. 

(a) Review Process Limitations. The Asset Representations Reviewer is not obligated to: 

(i) determine whether a Delinquency Trigger has occurred or whether the required percentage of Noteholders has voted to direct
a Review under the Indenture, and may rely on the information in any Review Notice delivered by the Indenture Trustee; 

(ii) determine which Receivables are subject to a Review, and may rely on the lists of Review Receivables provided by the
Servicer; 
 (iii) obtain or confirm the validity of the Review Materials and no liability for any errors in the Review
Materials and may rely on the accuracy and completeness of the Review Materials; 

  
 6 








 (iv) obtain missing or insufficient Review Materials from any party or any other
source; or 
 (v) take any action or cause any other party to take any action under any of the Basic Documents or otherwise
to enforce any remedies against any Person for breaches of representations or warranties about the Review Receivables. 
 (b) Testing
Procedure Limitations. The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the testing procedures listed under “Tests” in Schedule A, and will not be obligated to perform additional procedures on any Review
Receivable or to provide any information other than a Review Report indicating for each Review Receivable whether there was a Test Pass or a Test Fail for each Test, or whether the Review Receivable was a Test Complete and the related reason.
However, the Asset Representations Reviewer may provide additional information about any Review Receivable that it determines in good faith to be material to the Review.

Reviewer until this Agreement is terminated. 
 (b) Review Fee. Following the completion of a Review and the delivery to the
Indenture Trustee of the Review Report, or the termination of a Review according to Section 3.4(e), and the delivery to the Servicer of a detailed invoice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be entitled to a fee of
$[        ] for each Review Receivable for which the Review was started (the “Review Fee”). However, no Review Fee will be charged for any Review Receivable which was included in a prior Review or

detailed invoice is submitted on or before the first day of a month, the Review Fee will be paid by the Issuer according to the priority of payments in Section 5.04 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement starting on or before the Payment Date in
that month. However, if a Review is terminated according to Section 3.4(e), the Asset Representations Reviewer must submit its invoice for the Review Fee for the terminated Review no later than five Business Days before the final Payment Date

(d) Dispute Resolution Expenses. If the Asset Representations Reviewer participates in a dispute resolution proceeding under
Section 3.7 and its reasonable expenses for participating in the proceeding are not paid by a party to the dispute resolution within 90 days after the end of the proceeding, the Issuer will reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer for
such expenses upon receipt of a detailed invoice. 
 Section 4.4. Limitation on Liability. The Asset Representations Reviewer
will not be liable to any Person for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith under this Agreement or for errors in judgment. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be liable for its willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in
performing its obligations under this Agreement. In no event will the Asset Representations Reviewer be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages (including lost 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. 
 Section 4.5. Indemnification by Asset
Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will indemnify each of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents for all fees,
expenses, losses, damages and liabilities resulting from (a) the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Asset Representations Reviewer in performing its obligations under this Agreement or (b) the Asset Representations
Reviewer’s breach of any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this Section 4.5 will survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination of the Issuer and
the resignation or removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer. 
 Section 4.6. Indemnification of Asset Representations
Reviewer. 
 (a) Indemnification. The Issuer will, or will cause the Administrator to, indemnify the Asset Representations
Reviewer and its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), for all fees, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities resulting from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (including the fees
and expenses of defending itself against any loss, damage or liability), but excluding any fee, 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 or warranties in this Agreement. 
 (b)
Proceedings. Promptly on receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of a Proceeding against it, the Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made under Section 4.6(a), notify the Issuer and the Administrator of the Proceeding. The
Issuer or the Administrator may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of a Proceeding at its expense. If the Issuer or the Administrator notifies the Indemnified Person of its intention to assume the defense of the Proceeding with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and so long as the Issuer or the Administrator assumes the defense of the Proceeding in a manner reasonably 

  
 10 








 
satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, the Issuer and the Administrator will not be liable for fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person unless there is a conflict between the
interests of the Issuer or the Administrator, as applicable, and an Indemnified Person. If there is a conflict, the Issuer or the Administrator will pay for the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Indemnified Person. No
settlement of a Proceeding may be made without the approval of the Issuer and the Administrator and the Indemnified Person, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. 

(c) Survival of Obligations. The Issuer’s and the Administrator’s obligations under this Section 4.6 will survive the
resignation or removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (d) Repayment. If the Issuer
or the Administrator makes any payment under this Section 4.6 and the Indemnified Person later collects any of the amounts for which the payments were made to it from others, the Indemnified Person will promptly repay the amounts to the Issuer
or the Administrator, as applicable. 
 Section 4.7. Inspections of Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations
Reviewer agrees that, with reasonable prior notice not more than once during any year, it will permit authorized representatives of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator, during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s normal business
hours, to examine and review the books of account, records, reports and other documents and materials of the Asset Representations Reviewer relating to (a) the performance of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this
Agreement, (b) payments of fees and expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer for its performance and (c) a claim made by the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement. In addition, the Asset Representations Reviewer will
permit the Issuer’s, the Servicer’s or the Administrator’s representatives to make copies and extracts of any of those documents and to discuss them with the Asset Representations Reviewer’s officers and employees. Each of the
Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator will, and will cause its authorized representatives to, hold in confidence the information except if disclosure may be required by law or if the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator reasonably
determines that it is required to make the disclosure under this Agreement or the other Basic Documents. The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain all relevant books, records, reports and other documents and materials for a period of at least
two years after the termination of its obligations under this Agreement. 
 Section 4.8. Delegation of Obligations. The Asset
Representations Reviewer may not delegate or subcontract its obligations under this Agreement to any Person without the consent of the Issuer and the Servicer.

confidence and under the terms and conditions of this Section 4.9, and will implement and maintain safeguards to further assure the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. The Confidential Information will not, without the prior
consent of the Issuer and the Servicer, be disclosed or used by the Asset

becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Information Recipients, (B) was available to, or becomes available to, the Information Recipients on a non-confidential basis from a Person or entity other
than the Issuer or the Servicer before its disclosure to the Information Recipients who, to the knowledge of the Information Recipient is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Issuer or the Servicer and is not prohibited from
transmitting the information to the Information Recipients, (C) is independently developed by the Information Recipients without the use of the Confidential Information, as shown by the Information Recipients’ files and records or other
evidence in the Information Recipients’ possession or (D) the Issuer or the Servicer provides permission to the applicable Information Recipients to release. 

(c) Protection. The Asset Representations Reviewer will take reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and
unauthorized use of Confidential Information, including those measures that it takes to protect its own confidential information and not less than a reasonable standard of care. The Asset Representations Reviewer acknowledges that Personally
Identifiable Information is also subject to the additional requirements in Section 4.10. 
 (d) Disclosure. If the Asset
Representations Reviewer is required by Applicable Law, regulation, rule or order issued by a Governmental Authority to disclose part of the Confidential Information, it may disclose the Confidential Information. However, before a required
disclosure, the Asset Representations Reviewer, if permitted by law, regulation, rule or order, will use its reasonable efforts to provide the Issuer and the Servicer with notice of the requirement and will cooperate, at the Servicer’s expense,
in the Issuer’s and the Servicer’s pursuit of a proper protective order or other relief for the disclosure of the Confidential 

  
 12 








 
Information. If the Issuer or the Servicer is unable to obtain a protective order or other proper remedy by the date that the information is required to be disclosed, the Asset Representations
Reviewer will disclose only that part of the Confidential Information that it is advised by its legal counsel it is legally required to disclose. 

(e) Responsibility for Information Recipients. The Asset Representations Reviewer will be responsible for a breach of this Section by
its Information Recipients. 
 (f) Violation. The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that a violation of this Agreement may cause
irreparable injury to the Issuer and the Servicer and the Issuer and the Servicer may seek injunctive relief in addition to legal remedies. If an action is initiated by the Issuer or the Servicer to enforce this Section, the prevailing party will be
reimbursed for its fees and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred for the enforcement. 
 Section 4.10.
Personally Identifiable Information. 
 (a) Definitions. “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. “Issuer PII” means PII furnished by the Issuer, the Servicer or their Affiliates to the Asset Representations
Reviewer and PII developed or otherwise collected or acquired by the Asset Representations Reviewer in performing its obligations under this Agreement. 

(b) Use of Issuer PII. The Issuer does not grant the Asset Representations Reviewer any rights to Issuer PII except as provided in this
Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will use Issuer PII only to perform its obligations under this Agreement or as specifically directed in writing by the Issuer and will only reproduce Issuer PII to the extent necessary for these
purposes. The Asset Representations Reviewer must comply with all laws applicable to PII, Issuer PII and the Asset Representations Reviewer’s business, including any legally required codes of conduct, including those relating to privacy,
security and data protection. The Asset Representations Reviewer will protect and secure Issuer PII. The Asset Representations Reviewer will implement privacy or data protection policies and procedures that comply with Applicable Law and this
Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate practices, procedures and systems, including administrative, technical and physical safeguards to (i) protect the security, confidentiality and
integrity of Issuer PII, (ii) ensure against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Issuer PII, (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of Issuer PII and (iv) otherwise comply with its obligations
under this Agreement. These safeguards include a written data security plan, employee training, information access controls, restricted disclosures, systems protections (e.g., intrusion protection, data storage protection and data transmission
protection) and physical security measures. 

  
 13 








 (c) Additional Limitations. In addition to the use and protection requirements described
in Section 4.10(b), the Asset Representations Reviewer’s disclosure of Issuer PII is also subject to the following requirements: 

(i) The Asset Representations Reviewer will not disclose Issuer PII to its personnel or allow its personnel access to Issuer
PII except (A) for the Asset Representations Reviewer personnel who require Issuer PII to perform a Review, (B) with the prior consent of the Issuer or (C) as required by Applicable Law. When permitted, the disclosure of or access to
Issuer PII will be limited to the specific information necessary for the individual to complete the assigned task. The Asset Representations Reviewer will inform personnel with access to Issuer PII of the confidentiality requirements in this
Agreement and train its personnel with access to Issuer PII on the proper use and protection of Issuer PII. 
 (ii) The Asset
Representations Reviewer will not sell, disclose, provide or exchange Issuer PII with or to any third party without the prior consent of the Issuer. 

(d) Notice of Breach. The Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Issuer promptly in the event of an actual or reasonably
suspected security breach, unauthorized access, misappropriation or other compromise of the security, confidentiality or integrity of Issuer PII and, where applicable, immediately take action to prevent any further breach. 

(e) Return or Disposal of Issuer PII. Except where return or disposal is prohibited by Applicable Law, promptly on the earlier of the
completion of the Review or the request of the Issuer, all Issuer PII in any medium in the Asset Representations Reviewer’s possession or under its control will be (i) destroyed in a manner that prevents its recovery or restoration or
(ii) if so directed by the Issuer, returned to the Issuer without the Asset Representations Reviewer retaining any actual or recoverable copies, in both cases, without charge to the Issuer. Where the Asset Representations Reviewer retains
Issuer PII, the Asset Representations Reviewer will limit the Asset Representations Reviewer’s further use or disclosure of Issuer PII to that required by Applicable Law. 

(f) Compliance; Modification. The Asset Representations Reviewer will cooperate with and provide information to the Issuer regarding
the Asset Representations Reviewer’s compliance with this Section 4.10. The Asset Representations Reviewer and the Issuer agree to modify this Section 4.10 as necessary for either party to comply with Applicable Law. 

(g) Audit of Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will permit the Issuer and its authorized
representatives to audit the Asset Representations Reviewer’s compliance with this Section 4.10 during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s normal business hours on reasonable advance notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer, and
not more than once during any year unless circumstances necessitate additional audits. The Issuer agrees to make reasonable efforts to schedule any audit described in this Section 4.10 with the inspections described in Section 4.7. The
Asset Representations Reviewer will also permit the Issuer during normal business hours on reasonable advance written notice to audit any service providers used by the Asset Representations Reviewer to fulfill the Asset Representations
Reviewer’s obligations under this Agreement. 
 (h) Affiliates and Third Parties. If the Asset Representations Reviewer
processes the PII of the Issuer’s Affiliates or a third party when performing a Review, and if such Affiliate or third party is identified to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such Affiliate or third party is an


  
 14 








 
intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 4.10, and this Agreement is intended to benefit the Affiliate or third party. The Affiliate or third party may enforce the PII related terms
of this Section 4.10 against the Asset Representations Reviewer as if each were a signatory to this Agreement.
