 This SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of November 30, 2016 (together with all exhibits,

 ARTICLE II 

SERVICER AS CUSTODIAN 
 SECTION
2.1 Custody of Receivable Files. 
 (a) Custody. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce
administrative costs, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby revocably appoint the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act solely on behalf of and for the benefit of
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the following documents or instruments with respect to each Receivable (but only to the extent applicable to such Receivable and only to the extent held in tangible paper or electronic form) (the
“Receivable Files”): 
  

	 	(i)	the fully executed original of the Contract (within the meaning of the UCC) related to such Receivable, including any written amendments or extensions thereto; 


 

	 	(ii)	the original credit application or a photocopy thereof to the extent held in paper form; 

  

	 	(iii)	the original Certificate of Title or, if not yet received, evidence that an application therefor has been submitted with the appropriate authority, a guaranty of title from a Dealer or such other document (electronic or
otherwise, as used in the applicable jurisdiction) that the Servicer keeps on file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, evidencing the security interest of the Originator in the Financed Vehicle; provided, however,
that in lieu of being held in the Receivable File, the Certificate of Title may be held by a third party service provider engaged by the Servicer to obtain or hold Certificates of Title; and 


 

	 	(iv)	any and all other documents that the Servicer keeps on file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, relating to a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle (but only to the extent applicable to such
Receivable and only to the extent held in tangible paper form or electronic form). 

 The foregoing appointment of the Servicer is deemed to
be made with due care. After the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the Servicer shall act as custodian of the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability with
respect to the appointment of the Servicer as custodian hereunder. 
 (b) Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian,
shall hold the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. Nothing herein
will be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files. The Servicer may, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices: (i) maintain all or a portion of the
Receivable 

  
 2 








 
Files in electronic form and (ii) maintain custody of all or any portion of the Receivable Files with one or more of its agents or designees. 

(c) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer will maintain each Receivable File in the United States (it being understood
that the Receivable Files, or any part thereof, may be maintained at the offices of any Person to whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in accordance with Section 5.5). The Servicer will make available to the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Receivable Files upon request. The Servicer will provide access to the Receivable Files, and the related accounts, records and computer
systems maintained by the Servicer at such times as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee direct, but only upon reasonable notice and during the normal business hours, which do not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations, at
the respective offices of the Servicer; provided, however, that in the case of this clause (c), an officer of the Bank must be present during any such visit or discussion. 

(d) Release of Documents. Upon written instructions from the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer will release or cause to be released any
document in the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon thereafter as is
practicable, to the extent it does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations. Any document so released will be handled by the Indenture Trustee with reasonable care and returned to the Servicer for safekeeping as soon as
the Indenture Trustee or its agent or designee, as the case may be, has no further need therefor. The Servicer shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by the failure of the Indenture Trustee or its agent or designee to return any document
or any delay in doing so. 
 (e) Instructions; Authority to Act. All instructions from the Indenture Trustee will be in writing and
signed by an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee, and the Servicer will be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of such written instructions. 

(f) Custodian’s Indemnification. Subject to Section 5.2, the Servicer as custodian will indemnify the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs and any losses incurred in connection with a successful
defense, in whole or part, of any claim that the Indenture Trustee breached its standard of care and legal fees and expenses incurred in actions against the indemnifying party) of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee as the result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer as custodian of the Receivable Files or the enforcement of the Issuer’s or Indenture
Trustee’s rights (including indemnification rights) under the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that the Servicer as custodian will not be liable (i) to the Indenture Trustee or to the Issuer for any portion of any
such amount resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, respectively, or (ii) to the Indenture Trustee for any portion of any such amount resulting from the failure of the Indenture
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee to handle with reasonable care any 

  
 3 








 
Certificate of Title or other document released to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee pursuant to Section 2.1(d). The
provisions of this Section 2.1(f) shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or Servicer, in its capacity as custodian. Any amount payable to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Section 2.1(f), to the extent not paid by the Servicer, shall be paid by the Issuer in accordance with Section 8.5(a) of the Indenture. 

(g) Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as custodian will become effective as of the Cut-Off Date and will continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section. If the Bank resigns as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer have been terminated under Section 6.1, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian hereunder may be terminated by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Transaction Documents, or by the Noteholders evidencing
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class (or, if the Notes are no longer Outstanding, by the Majority Certificateholders), in the same manner as the Relevant Trustee or such Noteholders (or
Certificateholders) may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 6.1. As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer will deliver to the successor custodian the Receivable Files
and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer at such place or places as the successor custodian may reasonably designate. No such termination or resignation shall be given effect until a successor custodian has assumed the duties
as custodian hereunder and in the Transaction Documents. 
 (h) Liability of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall not be
liable for the acts or omissions of the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian of the Receivable Files. 
 ARTICLE III 

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF 

RECEIVABLES AND TRUST PROPERTY 

SECTION 3.1 Duties of Servicer. 

(a) The Servicer is hereby appointed by the Issuer and authorized to act as agent for the Issuer and in such capacity shall manage, service,
administer and make collections on the Receivables in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, subject to the provisions herein, using the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable motor
vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer’s duties will include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending invoices or
payment coupons to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, accounting for Collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions. The Servicer is not required under the
Transaction Documents to make any disbursements via wire transfer or otherwise on behalf of an Obligor. There are no requirements under the Receivables or the Transaction Documents for funds to be, and funds shall not be, held in trust for an
Obligor. No payment or disbursements shall be made by the Servicer on behalf of the Obligor. The 

  
 4 








 
Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and authorization and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set forth herein. 

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 and any other provision in this Agreement restricting the Servicer or specifying
obligations different from the Customary Servicing Practices, the Servicer will follow its Customary Servicing Practices and will have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and
collection that it may deem necessary or desirable as long as such things will not result or cause the Issuer to be treated, for United States federal income tax purposes, as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation
or as other than a fixed investment trust described in Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c) that is treated as a grantor trust under subtitle A, chapter 1, subchapter J, part I, subpart E of the Code. The Servicer is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release
or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles securing such Receivables. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, a Proceeding to
enforce a Receivable or an Insurance Policy or to commence or participate in any other Proceeding (including a bankruptcy Proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, an Obligor, a Financed Vehicle or an Insurance Policy. If the Servicer
commences a Proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuer will thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable or its rights under such Insurance Policy to the Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in any
such Proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Issuer to execute and deliver in the Servicer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments
in connection with any such Proceeding. If in any Proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable or Insurance Policy on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable or
Insurance Policy, the Issuer will, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce the Receivable or Insurance Policy, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer will furnish the Servicer
with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense, will obtain on behalf of the Issuer all
licenses, if any, reasonably requested by the Seller to be held by the Issuer in connection with ownership of the Receivables, and will make all filings and pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith during the term hereof. 

(c) The Servicer hereby agrees that upon its resignation and the appointment of a successor Servicer hereunder, the Servicer will terminate
its activities as Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.1, and, in any case, in a manner which the successor Servicer reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to such successor
Servicer, and the Servicer shall cooperate with and assist such successor Servicer. 
 (d) The Servicer shall not be required to maintain a
fidelity bond or error and omissions policy or to monitor whether Obligors maintain an Insurance Policy on the Financed Vehicles. 

  
 5 








 SECTION 3.2 Collection of Receivable Payments. (a) The Servicer will make reasonable
efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same become due in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. Subject to Section 3.5, the Servicer may grant Permitted
Modifications, but not any other extension, deferral, amendment, modification, alteration or adjustment, with respect to any Receivable in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices; provided, however, that if the Servicer
(i) extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period preceding the latest Final Scheduled Payment Date of any Notes issued under the Indenture or (ii) reduces the Contract
Rate or Outstanding Principal Balance with respect to any Receivable, in either case other than as required by applicable law (including, without limitation, by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act) or court order or in connection with a settlement
in the event the Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable, it will promptly purchase such Receivable in the manner provided in Section 3.6; provided, further, that the Servicer shall not make a modification described in
the preceding clause (i) or (ii) that would trigger a purchase pursuant to Section 3.6 for the sole purpose of enabling the servicer to purchase a Receivable from the Issuer. The Servicer shall not be required to make any
advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or distributions. Subject to the proviso of the second sentence of this Section 3.2, the Servicer and its Affiliates (each in its individual capacity and not on behalf of
the Issuer) may engage in any marketing practice or promotion or any sale of any products, goods or services, including Insurance Policy, to Obligors with respect to the Receivables so long as such practices, promotions or sales are offered to
obligors of comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer for itself and others, whether or not such practices, promotions or sales might result in a decrease in the aggregate amount of payments on the Receivables, prepayments or
faster or slower timing of the payment of the Receivables. 
 “Permitted Modification” means an extension, deferral,
alteration, amendment, modification, or adjustment to the terms of, or with respect to, any Receivable with respect to which at least one of the following conditions has been satisfied: 

 

	 	(i)	any amendment, modification, alteration or adjustment, individually and collectively with any other amendment, modification, alteration or adjustment proposed to be made with respect to the Receivable, is ministerial in
nature; 

  

	 	(ii)	any extension or deferral of a payment, including a “payment holiday” extension, (A) that is granted to an Obligor in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices and (B) in
respect of which such extended or deferred payment (including any other payment extended or deferred pursuant to this provision) is required to be paid no later than the payment date that is no more than the Safe Harbor Number of payment dates after
the original payment date of the first extended or deferred payment (exclusive of any extension, modification or deferral in accordance with clause (iv) below but inclusive of any deferrals granted under the Pass-A-Payment program). For this
purpose, the “Safe Harbor Number” is equal to fifty percent of the Receivable’s total monthly payment dates on the date the Receivable was originated; 


  
 6 









	 	(iii)	in the case of an extension or deferral of a payment (A) that is granted to an Obligor under the Servicer’s Pass-A-Payment program in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices,
(B) where the Obligor initiated the request for such extension or deferral of a payment and (C) that is only so extended or deferred after the Obligor has made at least 12 consecutive, timely and full loan payments (for this purpose, an
extended or deferred payment in connection with clause (iv) below is treated as a timely and full payment); 

  

	 	(iv)	in the case of any extension or deferral, (A) (i) the Obligor’s address is within a geographic area determined by the President of the United States or the Governor of the applicable state to warrant
individual, or individual and public, assistance from the federal government under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act or similar state law, as the case may be, or (ii) the Obligor is a U.S. federal or state
government employee that is furloughed on account of a shutdown of such government occurring as a result of a lapse in annual appropriations and (B) the number of monthly payments on such Receivable that are extended or deferred pursuant to
clause (iii)(A) may not exceed four monthly payments (exclusive of any extension, modification or deferral in accordance with clause (ii) and (iii) above); 


 

	 	(v)	any amendment, modification, alteration or adjustment where (A) the Obligor is in payment default or (B) in the judgment of the Servicer, in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices,
it is reasonably foreseeable that the Obligor will default (it being understood that the Servicer may proactively contact any Obligor whom the Servicer believes may be at higher risk of a payment default under the related Receivable) and
(C) the Servicer believes that such amendment, modification, alteration or adjustment is appropriate or necessary to preserve the value of the Receivable and to prevent the Receivable from going into default (or, where the Receivable is already
in default, to prevent the Receivable from becoming further impaired); or 

  

	 	(vi)	any other extension, deferral, amendment, modification, alteration or adjustment is (A) in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices and (B) the Servicer has delivered an opinion to the
Issuer and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such extension, deferral, amendment, modification, alteration or adjustment will not cause the Issuer to be treated, for United States federal income tax purposes, as an association (or a publicly
traded partnership) taxable as a corporation or as other than a fixed investment trust of the type described in Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c) that is treated as a grantor trust under subtitle A, chapter 1, subchapter J, part I, subpart E
of the Code. 

 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable at
the request of the Obligor by making a new loan to the related 

  
 7 








 
Obligor and depositing the full Outstanding Principal Balance of such Receivable into the Collection Account. The receivable created by such refinancing shall not be the property of the Issuer.
The Outstanding Principal Balance shall be treated for all purposes, including for United States federal income tax purposes, as a payoff of all amounts owed by the related Obligor with respect to such Receivable. 

(c) Nothing in any section of this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the Servicer from implementing new programs, whether on an
intermediate, pilot or permanent basis, or on a regional or nationwide basis, or from modifying its standards, policies and procedures as long as, in each case, such programs or modifications (i) would be consistent with its Customary Servicing
Practices and (ii) would not cause the Issuer to be treated, for United States federal income tax purposes, as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation or as other than a fixed investment trust described in
Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c) that is treated as a grantor trust under subtitle A, chapter 1, subchapter J, part I, subpart E of the Code. 

SECTION 3.3 Realization Upon Receivables. On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent
with its Customary Servicing Practices, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer has determined eventual payment in full is unlikely unless it determines in its sole
discretion that repossession will not increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the expense of such repossession or that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased by forbearance. The
Servicer will follow such Customary Servicing Practices as it deems necessary or advisable, which may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to any Dealer and selling the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. The foregoing
will be subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle has suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it determines
in its sole discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. In addition, the Servicer may from time to time (but is not required to) sell any deficiency
balance in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices; provided, however, that (i) each sale must be made at a price equal to the fair market value of such deficiency balance in cash in immediately available funds and
(ii) such sale must be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Issuer or the Servicer (other than any representation or warranty regarding the absence of Liens, that the Issuer has good title to the deficiency balance, or similar
representation or warranty). Net proceeds of any such sale allocable to the Receivable will constitute Liquidation Proceeds, and the sole right of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with respect to any such sold Receivables will be to receive such
Liquidation Proceeds. Upon such sale, the Servicer will mark its computer records indicating that any such receivable sold is no longer a Receivable. The Servicer is authorized to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate on behalf of the
Issuer to evidence the sale of the Receivable free from any Lien or other interest of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. 
 SECTION 3.4
Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer will, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in
the related Financed Vehicle. The provisions set forth in this Section are the sole requirements under the Transaction 

  
 8 








 
Documents with respect to the maintenance of collateral or security for the Receivables. It is understood that the Financed Vehicles are the collateral and security for the Receivables, but that
the Certificate of Title with respect to a Financed Vehicle does not constitute collateral for that Receivable and merely evidences such security interest. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect
such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. 

SECTION 3.5 Covenants of Servicer. Unless required by law or court order, the Servicer will not release the Financed Vehicle securing
each such Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except (a) in the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a deficiency which the Servicer would
not attempt to collect in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, (b) in connection with repossession or (c) as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from any Insurance Policy covering such Financed Vehicle.

 SECTION 3.6 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party hereto of a breach of any of the covenants set forth
in Section 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 with respect to any Receivable which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, the party discovering or receiving written
notice of such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, (i) that delivery of a Servicer’s Report which identifies the Receivables that are being or have been purchased pursuant to this
Section 3.6 shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by the Servicer and the Issuer of such breach and (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have knowledge of such breach only if a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge
thereof, including without limitation upon receipt of written notice; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer hereunder. If the breach materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Issuer, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, then the Servicer shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) purchase such Receivable from the Issuer, in either case on or before the Payment Date following the
end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier date) after the date that the Servicer became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to have a material and
adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Servicer shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In consideration
for such purchase, the Servicer shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the Collection Account prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time on the date of such purchase,
if such date is not a Payment Date or, if such date is a Payment Date, then prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to such date. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, on behalf
of the Noteholders, shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation and as prepared by and at the expense of the Servicer, as shall be reasonably
necessary to vest in the Servicer or its designee any Receivable and the related Transferred Assets purchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable as described above shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.

 SECTION 3.7 Servicing Fee. On each Payment Date, the Issuer shall pay to the Servicer the
Servicing Fee in accordance with Section 8.5 of the Indenture for the immediately preceding Collection Period as compensation for its services. In addition, the Servicer will be entitled to retain all Supplemental Servicing Fees. The
Servicer also will be entitled to receive investment earnings (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds deposited in the Collection Account during each Collection Period.

8.5 of the Indenture on such Payment Date. At the sole option of the Servicer, each Servicer’s Report may be delivered in electronic or hard copy format. No disbursements shall be made directly by the Servicer to a Noteholder or a
Certificateholder, and the Servicer shall not be required to maintain any investor record relating to the posting of disbursements or otherwise. 

(b) The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of any of the information
or numbers set forth in the Servicer’s Report delivered by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon such Servicer’s Report with no
liability therefor. 
 (c) No disbursements shall be made directly by the Servicer to a Noteholder or a Certificateholder, and the Servicer
shall not be required to maintain any investor record relating to the posting of disbursements or otherwise. 
 SECTION 3.10 Annual
Officer’s Certificate; Notice of Servicer Replacement Event. 
 (a) The Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, with a copy to the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, on or before March 30th of each year, beginning on March 30, 2017, an Officer’s Certificate (with appropriate insertions) providing such
information as is required under Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event which has occurred and is continuing, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would

Indenture, the Transaction Documents do not require any policies or procedures to monitor any performance or other triggers and events of default. 

(c) The Servicer will deliver to the Issuer on or before March 30 of each year, beginning on March 30, 2017, a report regarding the
Servicer’s assessment of compliance with

(b) of Rule 13a-18 and Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. 
 (d) If a Servicer Replacement Event
occurs and is continuing and if it is either actually known by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
shall provide the Owner Trustee and the Administrator written notice of such Servicer Replacement Event. 
 SECTION 3.11 Servicer
Expenses. The Servicer shall pay all expenses (other than Liquidation Expenses) incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses
incurred in connection with distributions and reports to the Noteholders and the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall also pay all fees, expenses, and indemnities of the Indenture Trustee (as described in, and pursuant to the limitations set forth
in, Section 6.7 of the Indenture) and the Owner Trustee (as described in, and pursuant to the limitations set forth in, Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the Trust Agreement). 

SECTION 3.12 Annual Registered Public Accounting Firm Attestation Report. 

(a) On or before the 90th day following the end of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, the

Servicer and the Seller each attestation report on assessments of compliance with the Servicing Criteria with respect to the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof during the related fiscal year delivered by such accountants pursuant to paragraph

or in the future in use by servicers of comparable assets, or which otherwise comply with any rule, regulation, “no action” letter or similar guidance promulgated by the Commission. 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.10(a), the Servicer, however, shall not be obligated to add as an addressee or reliance party with

 SECTION 4.1 Establishment of Accounts. (a) The Servicer shall cause to be established the Trust Accounts and the
Certificate Distribution Account in the manner set forth in Section 8.2(a) of the Indenture. If the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer, on behalf of the Owner Trustee, shall comply with

 ARTICLE V 

THE SERVICER 
 SECTION 5.1
Representations of the Servicer. The Servicer makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date on which the Issuer will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the Transferred Assets. The representations and warranties
speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the Transferred Assets to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders pursuant to the
Indenture: 
 (a) Existence and Power. The Servicer is a national banking association validly subsisting under the laws of the United
States of America and has, in all material respects, all power and authority to carry on its business as it is now conducted. The Servicer has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets. 

(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of the Transaction Documents to which
it is a party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Servicer and (ii) do not contravene or constitute a default under (A) any applicable order, law, rule or regulation, (B) its organizational
documents or (C) any material agreement, contract, order or other instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject (other than violations 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 the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under, the Transaction Documents). 

(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 the Servicer of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings that have previously been made and
(iii) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the
Servicer to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. 
 (d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the
Servicer is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable against the Servicer 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 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 Proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against the Servicer before or by
any Governmental Authority that (i) assert 

  
 13 








 
the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the
other Transaction Documents or the collectibility or enforceability of the Receivables or (iv) relate to the Servicer that would materially and adversely affect the United States federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or
similar tax attributes of the Notes. 
 SECTION 5.2 Indemnities of Servicer. The Servicer will be liable in accordance herewith only
to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the following: 
 (a)
The Servicer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (including when performing its duties as Relevant Trustee) and the Seller from and against any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs and any losses incurred in connection with a successful defense, in whole or part, of any claim that the Indenture Trustee breached its standard of care and legal fees and expenses incurred in
actions against the indemnifying party), losses, damages, claims and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof or any sub-contractor hired by the Servicer or such Affiliate
of a Financed Vehicle. The Servicer will compensate and indemnify the Administrator to the extent and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3 of the Administration Agreement. 

(b) The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (including when performing
its duties as Relevant Trustee) from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such Person with respect to the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Transaction Documents, if any, including, without limitation,
any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege, or license taxes (but, in the case of the Issuer, not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the conveyance of the Receivables to
the Issuer or the issuance and original sales of the Notes, or asserted with respect to ownership of the Receivables, or United States federal or other Applicable Tax State income taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents) and costs and expenses in defending against the same. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer will not indemnify for any costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities due to the credit risk of the
Obligors and for which reimbursement would constitute recourse for uncollectible Receivables. Any amounts payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.2(b), to the extent not paid by the Servicer, shall be paid by the Issuer in
accordance with Section 8.5(a) of the Indenture. 
 (c) The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee (individually and as Owner Trustee), the Indenture Trustee (including when performing its duties as Relevant Trustee) and the Seller from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that
such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon any such Person through, the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith (other than errors in judgment) of the Servicer (including any subservicer or
delegate) in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any other 

  
 14 








 
Transaction Document to which it is a party, or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations or of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document to which it is a party; provided, however, that the Servicer will not indemnify for any costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from its breach of any covenant for which the repurchase of
the affected Receivables is specified as the sole remedy pursuant to Section 3.6. 
 (d) The Servicer will compensate and
indemnify the Owner Trustee (individually and as Owner Trustee) to the extent and subject to the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the Trust Agreement. The Servicer will compensate and indemnify the Indenture Trustee
(including when performing its duties as Relevant Trustee) to the extent and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.7 of the Indenture, except to the extent that any cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of
or is incurred in connection with the performance by the Indenture Trustee of the duties of a successor Servicer hereunder. 
 (e)
Indemnification under this Section 5.2 by the Bank (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 6.1), as Servicer, with respect to the period such Person was the Servicer, will survive the termination of such Person as
Servicer or a resignation by such Person as Servicer as well as the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee (including when performing its duties
as Relevant Trustee) and will include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 5.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments
are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person will promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest. 

SECTION 5.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer. Any Person (i) into which the Servicer may
be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, to which it may sell or transfer its business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, (ii) resulting from any merger, sale, transfer conversion or consolidation to which
the Servicer shall be a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Servicer or (iv) more than 50% of the voting stock or voting power and 50% or more of the economic equity of which is owned directly or indirectly by Huntington
Bancshares Incorporated, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without the
execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer shall provide prior notice of the effective date of any merger, conversion,
consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section 5.3 to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Seller. The Servicer shall provide the Seller in writing such information as reasonably requested by the Seller to
comply with its Exchange Act reporting obligations with respect to a successor Servicer. 
 SECTION 5.4 Limitation on Liability of
Servicer and Others. (a) Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer will be under any liability to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders, except as provided in Section 5.2 of this Agreement and as otherwise 

  
 15 








 
provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision will not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of duties or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations
or of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement, or by reason of negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement (except for errors in judgment). The Servicer and any director, officer or employee or agent of
the Servicer may rely in good faith on any Opinion of Counsel or on any Officer’s Certificate of the Seller or certificate of auditors believed to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party in respect of any matters arising under
this Agreement. 
 (b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer will not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or
defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may
undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. In
such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Servicer. 

SECTION 5.5 Delegation of Duties. The Servicer may, at any time without notice or consent, delegate (a) any or all of its duties
(including, without limitation, its duties as custodian) under the Transaction Documents to any of its Affiliates or (b) specific duties (including, without limitation, its duties as custodian) to sub-contractors who are in the business of
performing such duties; provided, that no such delegation shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for its duties
hereunder as if the Servicer alone were performing such duties. 
 SECTION 5.6 The Bank Not to Resign as Servicer. Subject to the
provisions of Sections 5.3 and 5.5, the Bank will not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement is no
longer permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of the Bank will be communicated to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee at the earliest practicable time (and, if such
communication is not in writing, will be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination will be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee
concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation will become effective until a successor Servicer has (i) assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Bank as Servicer and (ii) provided in writing the information
reasonably requested by the Seller to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act with respect to a replacement Servicer. 

SECTION 5.7 Servicer May Own Notes and Certificates. The Servicer, and any Affiliate of the Servicer, may, in its individual or any
other capacity, become the owner or pledgee of Notes and Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents.
Except as set forth herein or in the other Transaction Documents, Notes and 

  
 16 








 
Certificates so owned by or pledged to the Servicer or such Affiliate will have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without preference, priority or
distinction as among all of the Notes and Certificates. 
 ARTICLE VI 

REPLACEMENT OF SERVICER 
 SECTION
6.1 Replacement of Servicer. 
 (a) If a Servicer Replacement Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Relevant Trustee
shall, at the direction of 66 2⁄3% of the Outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class (or, if no Notes are Outstanding, the Majority Certificateholders),
by notice given to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables. In the event
the Servicer is removed or resigns as Servicer with respect to servicing the Receivables, the Indenture Trustee, acting at the direction of 66 2⁄3% of the
Outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class (or, if no Notes are Outstanding, the Majority Certificateholders), shall appoint a successor Servicer. Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination the predecessor Servicer will
continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in such termination notice, until receipt of such notice. If a successor Servicer has not
been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer ceases to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action will automatically be appointed the successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the above, the
Indenture Trustee, if it is legally unable or is unwilling to so act in its sole discretion, will appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Servicer. Any successor Servicer shall be an established institution
having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of comparable motor vehicle receivables having an aggregate outstanding principal amount of not less than $50,000,000. 

(b) Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class (or, if no Notes are Outstanding,
the Majority Certificateholders) may waive any Servicer Replacement Event. Upon any such waiver, such Servicer Replacement Event shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred and any Servicer Replacement Event
arising therefrom shall be deemed not to have occurred for every purpose of this Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any prior, subsequent or other Servicer Replacement Event or impair any right consequent thereto. 

(c) If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
servicing of the Receivables to a successor Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to the successor Servicer and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the transfer to the successor Servicer related to the performance by the Servicer hereunder will be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. 

  
 17 








 (d) Upon the effectiveness of the assumption by the successor Servicer of its duties pursuant to
this Section 6.1, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities relating thereto, except with respect to the obligations of the predecessor Servicer that survive its termination as Servicer, including indemnification obligations as set forth in Section 5.2(e). In such event, the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered (but not obligated) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do
or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such termination and replacement of the Servicer, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. No
Servicer shall resign or be relieved of its duties under this Agreement, as Servicer of the Receivables, until a newly appointed Servicer for the Receivables shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning or terminated
Servicer under this Agreement. 
 (e) In connection with such appointment, the Issuer may make such arrangements for the compensation of the
successor Servicer out of Available Funds as it and such successor Servicer will agree; provided, however, that no such compensation will be in excess of the amount paid to the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything else herein to the contrary, 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 and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act
as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein. 
 SECTION 6.2 Notification to
Noteholders and Certificateholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VI, the Indenture Trustee will give prompt (but in no case later than five (5) Business Days after
such occurrence) written notice thereof to the Owner Trustee, the Issuer and the Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and to the Noteholders and Certificateholders at their respective addresses of record. 

ARTICLE VII 
 OPTIONAL PURCHASE

 SECTION 7.1 Optional Purchase of Trust Estate. The Servicer shall have the right at its option (the “Optional
Purchase”) to purchase the Trust Estate (other than the Reserve Account) from the Issuer on any Payment Date if both of the following conditions are satisfied: (a) as of the last day of the related Collection Period, the Net Pool
Balance has declined to 10% or less of the Net Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date, and (b) the sum of the Optional Purchase Price and Available Funds for such Payment Date would be sufficient to pay (x) the amounts required to be paid
under clauses first through ninth and eleventh of Section 8.5(a) of the Indenture (assuming that such Payment Date is not a Redemption Date) and (y) the Outstanding Note Balance (after
giving effect to the payments described in the preceding clause (x)). The purchase price for the Trust Estate (other than the Reserve Account) (the “Optional Purchase Price”) shall equal the Net Pool Balance plus accrued and unpaid

of the last day of the Collection Period immediately preceding the Redemption Date, which amount (net of any Collections deposited into the Collection Account after the last day of the Collection
Period immediately preceding the Redemption Date) shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account on the Redemption Date. If the Bank, as Servicer, exercises the Optional Purchase, the Notes shall be redeemed and in each case in whole
but not in part on the related Payment Date for the Redemption Price.

evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner
the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders. It will not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders or Certificateholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent

(c) Prior to the execution of any amendment pursuant to this Section 8.1, the Servicer shall provide written notification of the
substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Servicer shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating Agency, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee;
provided, that no amendment pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be effective which materially and adversely affects the rights, protections or duties of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee without the prior written consent

precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which materially and adversely affects the Owner
Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or otherwise. 

(e) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 8.1, this Agreement may only be amended by the Servicer if

conveyance under this Agreement of the Receivables, the master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the
Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders pursuant to the Indenture. Indication of the Issuer’s interest in a Receivable shall not be deleted from or modified on such computer systems until, and only
until, the related Receivable shall have been paid in full, repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.8 of the Sale Agreement, repurchased by the Bank pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Receivables Sale Agreement or

 20 








 
transferee computer tapes, records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that
such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders. 
 (d)
The Servicer, upon receipt of reasonable prior notice, shall permit the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and their respective agents at any time during normal business hours, to the extent it does not unreasonably interfere with the

(e) Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Issuer or to the Indenture Trustee, within thirty (30) Business Days, a list of all
