      ARTICLE THREE

        

        THE SERVICER

       

      Section 3.01.  Appointment of Servicer.

       

      (a)          Each party acknowledges and agrees that MBFS USA, as Servicer under the Basic Servicing Agreement, will also act as Servicer under this 2021-A Servicing Supplement with respect to the 2021-A Reference Pool
        and the 2021-A Exchange Note and MBFS USA will also act as agent and custodian of the Titling Trust in the management and control of the 2021-A Leases and 2021-A Vehicles included in the 2021-A Reference Pool and for all other purposes set forth in
        the 2021-A Servicing Agreement, in each case, for the benefit of each holder and pledgee of the 2021-A Exchange Note.  MBFS USA hereby accepts such appointments.

       

      (b)          The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations as Servicer in accordance with Section 3.05 of the Basic Servicing Agreement.

       

      (c)          The Servicer shall account for the 2021-A Leases and 2021-A Vehicles allocated to the 2021-A Reference Pool separately from any other Reference Pool and the Revolving Facility Pool.  The 2021-A Leases, the
        Certificates of Title relating to the 2021-A Vehicles, the insurance policies and insurance records and other documents related to the 2021-A Leases and 2021-A Vehicles will not be physically segregated from other Leases, Certificates of Title,
        insurance policies and insurance records or other documents related to other Leases and Vehicles owned or serviced by the Servicer, including Leases and Vehicles which are not part of the 2021-A Reference Pool.  The accounting records and computer
        systems of MBFS USA will reflect the allocation of the 2021-A Leases and 2021-A Vehicles to the 2021-A Reference Pool.  The Servicer may appoint one or more agents to act as subcustodians of certain items relating to the 2021-A Leases, the
        Certificates of Title relating to the 2021-A Vehicles, the insurance policies and insurance records and other documents related to the 2021-A Leases and 2021-A Vehicles; provided, however, that the Servicer shall remain solely responsible for their
        safekeeping.

       

      Section 3.02.  Servicer Representations and Warranties.

       

      (a)          The Servicer has made the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02 of the Basic Servicing Agreement on which the Lender, the Titling Trust and the Collateral Agent have relied, and the
        2021-A Exchange Noteholder, in acquiring the 2021-A Exchange Note, will rely.  Such representations and warranties are remade as of the 2021-A Exchange Note Issuance Date and will survive the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the 2021-A
        Exchange Note to the 2021-A Exchange Noteholder, the Transferor and the Issuer and the pledge of the 2021-A Exchange Note to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

       

      (b)          As of the 2021-A Exchange Note Issuance Date, the Servicer is not in material default under any agreement, contract, instrument or indenture of any nature whatsoever to which it is bound, which default
        would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

       

      
        4

        
          


      

      (c)          As of the 2021-A Exchange Note Issuance Date, no consent, approval, authorization or order of any Governmental Authority is required under federal or State law for the execution, delivery and performance
        by the Servicer of, or compliance by it with, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or if required has been obtained or can be obtained prior to the execution of this Agreement.

       

      (d)          To the knowledge of the Servicer, no selection procedures believed to be adverse to the 2021-A Exchange Noteholder have been utilized in selecting the 2021-A Leases and 2021-A Vehicles included in the
        2021-A Reference Pool from other Leases and Vehicles that meet the criteria specified in Exhibit B hereto.

       

      (e)          To the knowledge of the Servicer, all material consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of, or registrations or declarations with, any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or
        given by Titling Trust in connection with (i) the execution, delivery and performance by the Titling Trust of each 2021-A Lease and (ii) the acquisition by the Titling Trust of such 2021-A Lease and the related 2021-A Vehicle, were duly obtained,
        effected or given and were in full force and effect as of such date of creation or acquisition and remained in full force and effect as of the 2021-A Closing Date.

       

      Section 3.03.  2021-A Lease and 2021-A Vehicle Representations and Warranties.  The Servicer makes the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B with respect to the
        2021-A Leases and the 2021-A Vehicles, on which the 2021-A Exchange Noteholder, the Transferor and the Issuer (on behalf of the Noteholders) are relying in acquiring the 2021-A Exchange Note.  Such representations and warranties are effective as of
        the 2021-A Cutoff Date (unless otherwise specified) and will survive the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the 2021-A Exchange Note to the 2021-A Exchange Noteholder, the Transferor and the Issuer and the pledge of the 2021-A Exchange
        Note to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

       

      Section 3.04.  Liability of the Servicer; Indemnities.

       

      (a)          The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Covered Parties and the Holder of the Daimler Retail Specified Interest Certificate (each, with respect to this subsection, an “Indemnified
        Person”) in accordance with Section 3.03(b) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, as well as from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities arising out of the Servicer’s willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith
        or resulting from the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates of a 2021-A Vehicle.

       

      (b)          The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Titling Trust, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Administrative Agent, the Trustees and their respective officers, directors,
        employees and agents (each, with respect to this subsection, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities arising out of, or incurred in connection with, the acceptance of or
        performance by the Servicer of the trusts and duties contained in this 2021-A Servicing Supplement, except to the extent that any such cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or liability (i) is due to the willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith of

            days of the Servicer’s receipt thereof, the Requesting Party may refer the matter, in its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding third-party arbitration, or may file a legal action in court of competent
            jurisdiction.  The Requesting Party must commence the mediation or arbitration proceeding according to the ADR Rules of the ADR Organization, or a court action according with applicable court procedures, in each case within 90 days after the
            end of the 180-day period.  The Servicer agrees to participate in the dispute resolution method selected by the Requesting Party.  In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be a
            Requesting Party or pursue dispute resolution unless it is directed to do so by the Noteholders or Note Owners of at least 5% of the Controlling Class, and such Noteholders or Note Owners shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or
            indemnity satisfactory to it against the reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its agents and its counsel in compliance with such direction.

       

      (b)          Mediation. 
          If the Requesting Party selects mediation (including non-binding arbitration) for dispute resolution:

       

      (i)          The mediation will be administered by the ADR Organization using its ADR Rules.  However, if any

      (v)         If the parties fail to agree at the completion of the mediation, the Requesting Party may
            refer the Reallocation Request to arbitration under this Section.

       

      (c)          Arbitration. 
          If the Requesting Party selects binding arbitration for dispute resolution:

       

      (i)          The arbitration will be administered by the ADR Organization using its ADR Rules.  However,
            if any ADR Rules are inconsistent with the procedures for arbitration stated in this Section, the procedures in this Section will control.

        impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation and, if possible, consumer finance or asset-backed securitization matters.  The arbitrator will be independent
        and impartial and will comply with the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes in effect at the time of the arbitration.  Before accepting an appointment, the arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a
        reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the proceedings within the stated time schedule.  The arbitrator may be removed by the ADR Organization for cause consisting of actual bias, conflict of
        interest or other serious potential for conflict.

       

      (iii)        The arbitrator will have the authority to schedule, hear and determine any motions, according to New York law, and will do so at the motion of any party.

        admissions.  The arbitrator may, however, grant additional discovery on a showing of good cause that the additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.  Briefs will be limited to no more than ten pages each, and will be limited to initial
        statements of the case, motions and a pre-hearing brief.  The evidentiary hearing on the merits will start no later than 90 days after selection of the arbitrator and will proceed for no more than ten Business Days with equal time allocated to each
        party for the presentation of evidence and cross examination.  The arbitrator may allow additional time for discovery and hearings on a showing of good cause or due to unavoidable delays.

       

      
        10

        
          


      

      (iv)        The arbitrator will make its final determination no later than 120 days after its selection.  The arbitrator will resolve the dispute according to the terms of
        this Agreement and the other 2021-A Basic Documents, and may not modify or change this Agreement or the other 2021-A Basic Documents in any way.  The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any
        arbitration conducted by them.  In its final determination, the arbitrator will determine and award the expenses of the arbitration (including filing fees, the fees of the arbitrator, expenses of any record or transcript of the arbitration and
        administrative fees) to the parties in its reasonable discretion.  The determination of the arbitrator will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties.  The determination will be final and non-appealable, except
        for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or State law, and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

       

      (v)         By selecting binding arbitration, the Requesting Party waives the right to bring an action in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

       

      (vi)        The Requesting Party may not, and hereby waives any right, to bring a putative or certificated class action or any type of representative action to arbitration.  If
            this waiver of class action rights is found to be unenforceable for any reason, the Requesting Party agrees that it will bring its claims in a court of competent jurisdiction.

       

      (d)          Additional Conditions.  For each mediation or arbitration:

       

      (i)          Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York at the

      (iii)        The Servicer shall not be required to produce personally
        identifiable customer information for purposes of any mediation or arbitration.  The existence and details of any unresolved Reallocation Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings, the nature and amount of any relief
        sought or granted, any offers or statements made and any discovery taken in the proceeding, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose in any mediation, arbitration, litigation or other proceeding.  The parties will keep this
        information confidential and will not disclose or discuss it with any third party (other than a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other advisors, as reasonably required
            in connection with the mediation or arbitration proceeding under this Section, except as required by law, regulatory requirement or court order.  If a party to a mediation or arbitration proceeding receives a subpoena or other request for
            information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for confidential information of the other party to the mediation or arbitration proceeding, the recipient will promptly notify the other party and will provide the other
            party with the opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

       

      (iv)        To the extent the Indenture Trustee is found responsible for any expenses allocated to the Requesting Party in any dispute
          resolution proceeding, such expenses shall be payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section 5.04 of the Indenture, as applicable, and  if not so paid, then by the Servicer.

      Section 5.01.  Optional Termination.

       

      (a)          On any Payment Date on which the Outstanding Amount is equal to or less than 5% of the Initial Note Balance, after giving effect to all principal payments on such Payment Date, the Servicer will have the
        option to purchase the 2021-A Exchange Note in whole but not in part.  To exercise such option, the Servicer will (i) notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee of such election not fewer than ten
        and not more than 30 days prior to the related Payment Date and (ii) deposit in the 2021-A Exchange Note Collection Account an amount equal to the 2021-A Exchange Note Purchase Price.  The 2021-A ABS Notes shall be redeemed in accordance with
        Section 10.01 of the Indenture.

       

      (b)          Upon purchase of the 2021-A Exchange Note by the Servicer pursuant to this Section and upon redemption of the Notes and the payment of all Issuer Obligations in full, pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Basic

      (c)          If in any Collection Period the Servicer reasonably believes that the Outstanding Amount will be less than or equal to 5% of the Initial Note Balance as of the last day of such Collection Period and
        expects to provide the notice required in Section 5.01(a) and thereafter to purchase the 2021-A Exchange Note, the Servicer agrees to give to the Indenture Trustee notice thereof at least 30 days prior to the Payment Date on which such purchase is
        expected to be effected; provided that such notice shall not create an obligation on behalf of the Servicer to effect, nor be condition precedent to Servicer’s effecting, such purchase on such Payment Date.

        SERVICER EVENTS OF DEFAULT

       

      Section 7.01.  Servicer Events of Default.

       

      (a)          Notwithstanding Section 8.03 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, only the occurrence and continuation of any of the following events will be an “Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default” with respect to the
        2021-A Exchange Note, and the “Exchange Note Servicer Events of Default” set forth in Section 8.03(a) of the Basic Servicing Agreement shall not apply to the 2021-A Exchange Note or to this 2021-A Servicing Supplement:

       

      (i)          any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee any proceeds or payment required to be so delivered with respect to the 2021-A Exchange Note under the Basic Servicing
        Agreement or this 2021-A Servicing Supplement that continues unremedied for ten Business Days after the earlier of the date on which (A) notice of such failure is given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or (B) an Authorized Officer of the
        Servicer has actual knowledge of such failure;

       

      (ii)         any failure by the Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other of its covenants or agreements in the 2021-A Servicing Agreement, which failure materially and
        adversely affects the rights of holders of interests in the 2021-A Exchange Note, the Noteholders or, in the event that Certificates are sold to unaffiliated third parties, the Certificateholders, and which continues unremedied for 90 days after
        written notice thereof is given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee;

       

      (iii)        any representation, warranty or statement of the Servicer made in the 2021-A Servicing Agreement or any certificate, report or other writing delivered pursuant to the 2021-A Servicing
        Agreement shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect when made, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of interests in the 2021-A Exchange Note, the Noteholders or, in the event that Certificates are sold to
        unaffiliated third parties, the Certificateholders, and which failure continues unremedied for 90 days after written notice thereof is given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee; or

       

      (iv)        the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer;

       

      provided, however, that the occurrence of any event set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) with respect to the 2021-A Reference Pool will be an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default only with respect to the 2021-A Reference Pool and will not
        be a Servicer Event Default with respect to any other Reference Pool or the Revolving Facility Pool.

       

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) for a period of 120 days will not constitute an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default if that failure or
        delay was caused by Force Majeure.  Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Servicer will not be relieved from using all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of the Basic
        Servicing Agreement and this 2021-A Servicing Supplement.

       

      
        17

        
          


      

      (b)          With respect to actions taken under Section 8.03(c) of the Basic Servicing Agreement after the occurrence of an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default, any actions to be taken by the 2021-A Exchange
        Noteholder thereunder shall be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, acting at the written direction of 66 2/3% of the Holders of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class.

       

      (c)          In accordance with Section 8.05 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, after the occurrence of an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default, the 2021-A Exchange Noteholder (which for purposes of this Section
        shall be the Indenture Trustee, acting at the written direction of 66 2/3% of the Holders of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class) may waive any such Servicer Event of Default and its consequences.  Upon any such waiver, the applicable
        Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default will cease to exist, and will be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.  No such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right consequent thereon.

       

      (d)          On or after the receipt by the Servicer of notice of an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default, all authority and power of the Servicer under this 2021-A Servicing Supplement, whether with respect to the
        Notes, the Certificates, the Trust Estate or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer as may be appointed pursuant to the terms of the Basic Servicing Agreement.  If the
        Indenture Trustee shall become Successor Servicer pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as sub-Servicer any one of its Affiliates or agents; provided that the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Servicer
        shall be fully liable for the actions or omissions of such Affiliate or agent in such capacity as sub-Servicer.  The outgoing Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the
        termination of the responsibilities and rights of the outgoing Servicer under this 2021-A Servicing Supplement, including the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at
        the time be held by the outgoing Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the outgoing Servicer, in the 2021-A Bank Accounts or thereafter received with respect to the 2021-A Leases and 2021-A Vehicles and all information or documents that
        the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer may require, and the Successor Servicer shall not be liable if it cannot perform due to the failure of the predecessor Servicer to so deliver.  In addition, the Servicer shall transfer its electronic
        records relating to the 2021-A Leases and 2021-A Vehicles to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request.  All Transition Costs shall be paid by the outgoing Servicer (or by the initial Servicer
        if the outgoing Servicer is the Indenture Trustee acting on an interim basis) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

       

      
        18

        
          


      

      (e)          Notwithstanding Section 7.01(d), if the Indenture Trustee shall be unwilling so to act or if it is legally unable so to act, a Successor Servicer shall be appointed in accordance with Section 8.04 of the
        Basic Servicing Agreement.  Compensation for any Successor Servicer shall not be greater than that payable to MBFS USA as initial Servicer hereunder without the prior consent of the Majority Noteholders of the Controlling Class (or Holders of
        Certificates representing not less than 51% of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interests then outstanding if the Notes are no longer Outstanding).  The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this 2021-A
        Servicing Supplement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be relieved of its duties as Successor Servicer under this Section until a newly appointed Servicer shall have assumed the obligations
        and duties of the terminated Servicer under this 2021-A Servicing  Supplement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount
        of the servicing fee paid hereunder, the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer to act as Successor Servicer hereunder, the responsibilities of the Servicer set forth in Sections 3.05 and 3.10, or the obligations with respect to the
        payment or reimbursement of fees, expenses or other amounts (including indemnities other than those resulting from the actions of the Indenture Trustee as successor Servicer) of the Trustees or the Asset Representations Reviewer, the fees and
        expenses of the Trustees’ attorneys, or the Asset Representations Reviewer’s attorneys, the fees and expenses of any custodian and the fees and expenses of independent accountants or expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to
        the Noteholders.

      EXHIBIT A

       

      2021-A REFERENCE POOL ASSET SCHEDULE

        

        (On file with the Collateral Agent)

       

      
        A-1

        
          


      

      
      EXHIBIT B

       

      2021-A LEASE AND 2021-A VEHICLE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

       

      (i)         Origination.  The 2021-A Lease is a Stand-Alone Lease that was originated (a) by a Dealer, (b) on or after October 2016, (c) pursuant to an agreement which allows for recourse
        to the Dealer in the event of certain defects in the 2021-A Lease (but not for a default by the related Lessee) and (d) in substantial compliance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

       

      (ii)          Leases.  The 2021-A Lease constitutes “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC.

       

      (iii)         Leased Vehicle.  The related 2021-A Vehicle is a Mercedes-Benz passenger car or sport utility vehicle that was new or had been used in the Courtesy Vehicle Program at
        the time of the origination of the related 2021-A Lease and is not powered by a diesel engine.

       

      (iv)         Certificate of Title and Lienholder.  The 2021-A Vehicle was titled in a State, or the Servicer has started procedures that will result in the 2021-A Vehicle being titled, in accordance with the
        Titling Trust Agreement and in a manner acceptable to the related Registrar of Titles, and the Collateral Agent is or will be noted as lienholder of the 2021-A Vehicle (other than in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada or South Dakota) and such lien
        is a perfected first priority security interest.

       

      (v)          Lessee.  The related Lessee is a Person other than MBFS USA, any Affiliate thereof or a Governmental Authority and, at the time of origination of the 2021-A Lease, based on information provided by
        the Lessee, the Lessee is located in and has a billing address within a State.

       

      (vi)         Closed-End Lease; Payment in Dollars.  The 2021-A Lease is payable solely in Dollars in the United States and is a closed-end lease that provides for equal monthly payments by the Lessee, which
        scheduled payments, if made when due, fully amortize to an amount equal to the Booked Residual Value of the related 2021-A Vehicle based upon the related Contract Rate.

       

      (vii)        One Original.  There is only one original executed copy or one authoritative copy of the 2021-A Lease, as applicable.  The Servicer, or its custodian, has possession or “control” (within the
        meaning of Section 9-105 of the applicable UCC), as applicable, of such original or authoritative copy, which does not have any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the
        Titling Trust.

       

      (viii)       Compliance with Law.  The 2021-A Lease complied in all material respects at the time it was originated and, as of the 2021-A Cutoff Date, will comply in all material respects with all requirements
        of federal, State and local laws.

       

      
        B-1

        
          


      

      
      (ix)         Enforceability.  The 2021-A Lease was fully and properly executed by the parties thereto and such 2021-A Lease represents the legal, valid and binding full-recourse payment obligation of the
        related Lessee, enforceable against such Lessee in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability is subject to or limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the
        enforcement of creditors’ rights in general or principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).

       

      (x)          Title to the Lease and Leased Vehicle.  Neither the 2021-A Lease nor the related 2021-A Vehicle has been sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or granted by any Dealer to any Person other than the
        Titling Trust.  The Titling Trust has good and marketable title to such 2021-A Lease and 2021-A Vehicle, free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens), participations and rights of others, including, to the knowledge of the Servicer,
        Liens or claims for work, labor or material relating to such 2021-A Vehicle (other than Permitted Liens).

       

      (xi)         Lease in Full Force and Effect; No Waiver.  The 2021-A Lease is in full force and effect and not satisfied, subordinated or rescinded and no provision of the 2021-A Lease has been waived in any
        manner that causes or could cause such 2021-A Lease to not qualify with the other criteria set forth herein.

       

      (xii)        No Defenses.  The 2021-A Lease is not subject to any right of rescission, cancellation, setoff, claim, counterclaim or any other defense (including defenses arising out of violations of usury laws)
        of the related Lessee to payment of the amounts due thereunder, and no such right of rescission, cancellation, set-off, claim, counterclaim or any other defense (including defenses arising out of violations of usury laws) has been asserted or
        threatened.

       

      (xiii)       Assignability.  The 2021-A Lease is fully assignable and does not require the consent of the related Lessee or any other Person as a condition to any transfer, sale or assignment of the rights
        thereunder to the Titling Trust.

       

      (xiv)       Lease Term.  As of its origination date, the 2021-A Lease had an original Lease Term of no less than 24 months and no more than 60 months.

       

      (xv)        Insurance.  As of the time of origination of the 2021-A Lease, the related lease agreement required the related Lessee to obtain physical damage insurance covering the related 2021-A Vehicle.

       

      (xvi)       No Bankruptcy.  As of the 2021-A Cutoff Date, the Servicer has not received actual notice that the Lessee on any 2021-A Lease is a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding.

       

      (xvii)      No Extensions.  As of the 2021-A Cutoff Date, the 2021-A Lease is not subject to a current deferral and has not been extended, but may have otherwise been deferred






          in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy or otherwise modified in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy so long as such modification did not cause such 2021-A Lease to not qualify with the other criteria set forth
        herein.

       

      
        B-2

        
          


      

      (xviii)     Delinquencies; No Payment Default.  As of the 2021-A Cutoff Date, none of the 2021-A Leases is Delinquent by more than 30 days.  As of the 2021-A Cutoff Date, none of the 2021-A Leases is a
        Defaulted Lease.

       

      (xix)       Securitization Value.  As of the 2021-A Cutoff Date, each 2021-A Lease had a Securitization Value not less than $15,000 and no more than $250,000.

       

      (xx)        FICO Score.  As of its origination date, the Lessee under the 2021-A Lease had a FICO score of not less than 651.

       

      (xxi)       No Allocation to Other Specified Interest.  The 2021-A Lease and the related 2021-A Vehicle allocated to the 2021-A Reference Pool has not been allocated to any Reference Pool other than the 2021-A
        Reference Pool.

       

      (xxii)      Model Year.  The related 2021-A Vehicle has a model year between 2017 and 2021, inclusive.
