ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW PROCESS


 


Section 3.1.          Review
Notices. On receipt of a review notice from the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 7.05 of the Indenture, the Asset

    2 


     


    

 


Section 3.2.          Identification
of Subject Receivables. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a review notice, the Servicer will deliver to the Asset
Representations Reviewer a list of the Subject 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
Subject Receivables within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of the review notice in one or more of the following ways in
the Servicer’s reasonable discretion: (i) by electronic posting of Review Materials to a password-protected website to which
the Asset Representations Reviewer has access, (ii) by providing originals or photocopies of documents relating to the Subject
Receivables at one of the properties of the Servicer or (iii) in another manner agreed by the Servicer and the Asset Representations
Reviewer. The Servicer may redact or remove PII from the Review Materials so long as all information in the Review Materials necessary
for the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete the Asset Review remains intact and unchanged.


 


(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 reasonably determines that any of the Review Materials are missing or insufficient for the Asset Representations Reviewer
to perform any Test, the Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer promptly, and in any event no less than twenty
(20) calendar days before completing the Review, and the Servicer will use reasonable efforts to provide the Asset Representations
Reviewer access to such missing Review Materials or other documents or information to correct the insufficiency within fifteen
(15) calendar days. If the missing or insufficient Review Materials have not been provided by the Servicer within sixty (60) calendar
days, the parties agree that the Subject Receivable will have a Test Incomplete for the related Test(s) and the Review Report will
indicate the reason for the Test Incomplete.


 


Section 3.4.          Performance
of Reviews.


 


(a)          Test
Procedures. For an Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform for each Subject Receivable the procedures
listed under “Tests” in Schedule A for each representation and warranty (each, a “Test”),
using the Review Materials listed for each such Test in Schedule A. For each Test and Subject Receivable, the Asset Representations
Reviewer will determine in its reasonable judgment if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”), or if the
Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”), or if the Test could not be concluded as a result of missing or
incomplete Review Materials (a “Test Incomplete”). The Asset Representations Reviewer will use such determination
for all Subject Receivables that are subject to the same Test.


 


(b)          Review
Period. The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Review of all of the Subject Receivables within sixty (60) calendar
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
thirty (30) calendar days.


 




    3 


     


    

 


(c)          Completion
of Review for Certain Subject Receivables. Following the delivery of the list of the Subject Receivables and before the delivery
of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a Subject
Receivable is paid in full by the Obligor or purchased from the Issuer by the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Servicer according
to the applicable Basic Document. 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 Subject Receivable was included in a prior Asset Review, the Asset Representations
Reviewer will not perform the same Tests on it, but will include the results of the previous Tests in the Review Report for the
current Asset Review.


 


(e)          Duplicative
Tests. If the same Test is required for more than one representation or warranty listed on Schedule A, 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.


 


(f)           Termination
of Review. If an Asset Review is in process and the Notes will be paid in full on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer
will notify the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee no less than ten (10) calendar days before that Distribution
Date. On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Asset Review immediately and will have no obligation
to deliver a Review Report.


 


Section 3.5.          Review
Reports. (a) Within ten (10) calendar days after the end of the Asset Review period under Section 3.4(b), the Asset
Representations Reviewer will deliver to the Issuer, the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee a Review Report indicating
for each Subject Receivable whether there was a Test Pass or a Test Fail for each Test, or whether the Subject Receivable was a
Test Complete and the related reason. The Review Report will contain a summary of the findings and conclusions of the Asset Representations
Reviewer with respect to the Asset Review 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 the reasonable request of the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, acting solely on behalf of the Noteholders, the Asset
Representations Reviewer will provide additional details on the Test results.


 


(b)          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 Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, acting solely on behalf
of the Noteholders, until the earlier of (i) payment in full of the Notes and (ii) one year after the delivery of the Review Report.
The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to respond to questions or requests for clarification from Noteholders
or any Person other than the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, acting solely on behalf of the Noteholders, and will direct such
Persons to submit written requests to the Servicer.

Process Limitations. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation:


 


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


 


(ii)         to
determine which Receivables are subject to an Asset Review, and may rely on the lists of Subject Receivables provided by the Servicer;

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;


 


(iv)        to
obtain missing or insufficient Review Materials from any party or any other source; or


 


(v)         to
take any action or cause any other party to take any action under any of the Basic Documents or otherwise to enforce any remedies

contemplated by this Agreement, including:

However, Confidential Information will not include information
that (A) is or 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

use its reasonable efforts to provide the Issuer, the Sponsor and the Servicer with notice of the requirement and will cooperate,
at the Sponsor’s expense, in the Issuer’s and the Sponsor’s pursuit of a proper protective order or other relief
for the disclosure of the Confidential Information. If the Issuer or the Sponsor is unable to obtain a protective order or other

individual, including, name, address, phone number, e-mail address, account number(s), identification number(s), vehicle identification
number(s) or “VIN(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. None of the Issuer, the
Sponsor or the Servicer intend to share, provide or supply any Issuer PII to the Asset Representations Reviewer. However, if the
Asset Representations Reviewer receives any Issuer PII, the Asset Representations Reviewer will promptly (i) notify the Servicer
and (ii) delete and destroy such Issuer PII in accordance with Section 4.10(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate practices, procedures and systems, including
administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed 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.


 


(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 an Asset 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.


 




    11 


     


    

 


(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 Asset 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 from time to time for either party to comply with applicable law.


 


(g)          Affiliates
and Third Parties. If the Asset Representations Reviewer processes the PII of the Issuer’s Affiliates or a third party
when performing an Asset Review, and if such Affiliate or third party is identified to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such
Affiliate or third party is an 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 will be entitled to enforce the PII related terms of this Section
4.10 against the Asset Representations Reviewer as if each were a signatory to this Agreement.


 


(h)          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 Agreement 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 and its authorized representatives during normal business hours on reasonable advance written notice to audit
any service providers used by the Asset Representations Reviewer with the Sponsor’s prior written consent to fulfill the
Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this Agreement.
