PURCHASE 
 SECTION 2.1
Conveyance of Transferred Assets. In consideration of the Issuer’s sale and delivery to, or upon the order of, the Seller of (i) all of the Notes and (ii) the Certificate on the Closing Date, the Seller does hereby irrevocably,
transfer, assign, set over, sell, contribute and otherwise convey to the Issuer without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) on the Closing Date all right, title, interest, claims and demands of the Seller, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, in, to and under the Transferred Assets, as evidenced by an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Assignment”) delivered on the Closing Date. The sale, transfer, assignment, contribution and
conveyance made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the Seller or the Originator to the Obligors, the Dealers, insurers or any other Person in connection with the
Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto. 
 ARTICLE III

 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 

SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller. The Seller 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 will survive the conveyance of the Transferred Assets to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and the pledge thereof by
the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture: 
 (a) Existence and Power. The Seller is a limited liability company
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has, in all material respects, all power and authority to carry on its business as it is now conducted. The Seller 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 Seller 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 Seller of
the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Seller and (ii) do not contravene or constitute a default under (A) any applicable
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 Seller’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 

  
 Sale Agreement (2014-1)

 
by the Seller 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 any other part of the Transferred Assets or would not materially
and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. 
 (d) Binding Effect.
Each Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of limited liability companies from
time to time in effect or by general principles of equity. 
 (e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or Proceedings pending
or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert 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 Seller 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 Seller that would materially and adversely affect the federal or
Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes. 
 (f) Lien Filings. The Seller is not aware
of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against the Seller. 
 SECTION 3.2 Liability of the Seller. 

(a) The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under this
Agreement. 
 (b) The Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and
against any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Seller’s violation of federal or State securities laws in connection with the registration or the sale of the Notes. 

(c) The Seller will pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon the Issuer or upon all or any part of the Trust Estate. 

(d) Indemnification under this Section 3.2 will survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee
and the termination of this Agreement and will include, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Seller has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 3.2 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 Seller, without interest. 

  
 Sale Agreement (2014-1)

 (e) The Seller’s obligations under this Section 3.2 are obligations solely of
the Seller and will not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent that the Seller does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, the Issuer, the Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, by entering into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that they have no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller. To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and
provisions contained in the preceding sentence, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest,
claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor
provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be
expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise
secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not
asserted against the Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee each further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 3.2(e) and the terms of this
Section 3.2(e) may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this Section 3.2(e) will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive the termination of this
Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Seller. Any Person (i) into which the
Seller 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 Seller shall be a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Seller, 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 Fifth Third Bancorp, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Seller 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 Seller shall provide notice of any merger, conversion, consolidation or succession pursuant to this
Section 3.3 to the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller enters into any of the foregoing transactions and is not the surviving entity, the Seller will deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either
(A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to preserve and protect such interest. 

  
 Sale Agreement (2014-1)

 SECTION 3.4 Seller May Own Notes. The Seller, and any Affiliate of the Seller, may in its
individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller 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 so owned by the Seller or any such Affiliate will have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, without
preference, priority, or distinction as among all of the Notes. Unless all Notes are owned by the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator or any of their respective Affiliates, any Notes owned by the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the
Administrator or any of their respective Affiliates shall be disregarded with respect to the determination of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, vote or waiver hereunder or under any other Transaction Document. 

SECTION 3.5 Sarbanes-Oxley Act Requirements. To the extent any documents are required to be filed or any certification is required to
be made with respect to the Issuer or the Notes pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Issuer hereby authorizes the Seller to prepare, sign, certify and file any such documents or certifications on behalf of the Issuer. 

SECTION 3.6 Compliance with Organizational Documents. The Seller shall comply with its limited liability company agreement and other
organizational documents. 
 SECTION 3.7 Representations and Warranties of the Seller as to each Receivable. The Seller hereby makes
the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I as to the Receivables, sold, contributed, transferred, assigned, set over and otherwise conveyed to the Issuer under this Agreement on which such representations and warranties the
Issuer relies in acquiring the Receivables. Such representations and warranties shall survive the Grant of the Receivables by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Seller shall not be required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance Policy obtained by an Obligor or to notify any Dealer about any aspect of the transaction contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. 
 SECTION 3.8 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by or notice to the Issuer or the Seller of a breach of
any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.7 at the time such representations and warranties were made which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party discovering
such breach or receiving such notice shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, that delivery of a Servicer’s Certificate which identifies the Receivables that are being or have been repurchased shall be
deemed to constitute prompt notice of such breach; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Seller hereunder. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Issuer or the Noteholders, then the Seller shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) repurchase 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 Seller elects, an earlier date) after the date that the Seller 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 (or its assignee) to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Seller 

  
 Sale Agreement (2014-1)

 
shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, the Seller 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 repurchase, if such repurchase date is not a Payment Date or, if such repurchase date is a Payment Date, then prior to the close of
business on the Business Day prior to such repurchase date. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by the Seller, the Issuer shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse or representation, as may be reasonably requested by the Seller to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in the Seller or its designee any Receivable and the related Transferred Assets repurchased pursuant
hereto. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer. 

SECTION 3.9 Protection of Title. 

(a) The Seller shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation and other statements,
all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer under this Agreement in the Receivables (other than any Related Security with respect thereto, to the extent that the
interest of the Issuer therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement). The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Issuer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as
soon as available following such filing. 
 (b) The Seller will notify the Issuer in writing within ten (10) days following the
occurrence of (i) any change in the Seller’s organizational structure as a limited liability company, (ii) any change in the Seller’s “location” (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC of all applicable
jurisdictions) and (iii) any change in the Seller’s name and shall have taken all action prior to making such change (or shall have made arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is not
practicable to take such action in advance) reasonably necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Issuer to amend all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above. The Seller will at all
times maintain its “location” within the United States. 
 (c) The Seller shall maintain (or shall cause the Servicer to maintain)
its computer systems so that, from time to time after the 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
(or any subsequent assignee of the Issuer) in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by such Person. Indication of such Person’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 or repurchased. 
 (d) If at any time the Seller shall propose to sell, grant a
security interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Seller shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or
printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they 

  
 Sale Agreement (2014-1)

 
shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuer (or any subsequent assignee of the Issuer). 

SECTION 3.10 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables or other property transferred to the Issuer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted
Liens) on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under such Receivables or other property transferred to the Issuer against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the
Seller. 
 SECTION 3.11 Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Seller hereby makes the perfection representations,
warranties and covenants set forth on Schedule III hereto to the Issuer and the Issuer shall be deemed to have relied on such representations, warranties and covenants in acquiring the Transferred Assets. 

SECTION 3.12 Compliance with the FDIC Rule. The Seller (i) shall perform the covenants set forth in Article XII of the
Indenture applicable to it and (ii) shall facilitate compliance with Article XII of the Indenture by the Fifth Third Parties. 

ARTICLE IV 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

SECTION 4.1 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest. 

(a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and
absolute sales, transfers, assignments and contributions rather than pledges or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is further the intention of the parties hereto that the Receivables and
related Transferred Assets shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller. The sales and transfers by the Seller of the Receivables and related Transferred Assets hereunder are and shall be
without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, the Seller, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against the Seller are intended to provide a remedy for breach
of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the collectibility of the Receivables. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other Transferred Assets are held to be property of the Seller, or if
for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest in the Receivables and other Transferred Assets, then it is intended that: 

(i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and
the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; 

  
 Sale Agreement (2014-1)

 (ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be
a grant by the Seller of, and the Seller hereby grants to the Issuer, a security interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and
other Transferred Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the performance of the obligations of the Seller hereunder; 

(iii) The possession by the Issuer or its agent of the Receivable Files and any other property that constitute instruments,
money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a Person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the
New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and 
 (iv) Notifications to Persons holding such property,
and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Issuer for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law. 
 SECTION 4.2 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, by facsimile or, if so provided on Schedule II to this
Agreement, by electronic transmission, and addressed in each case as specified on Schedule II to this Agreement, or at such other address as shall be designated by any of the specified addressees in a written notice to the other parties
hereto. Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such Noteholder as shown in the Note Register. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of
such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder; provided, however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the time and manner
prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Noteholder shall receive such notice. 

SECTION 4.3 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL, SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE
DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 
 SECTION 4.4 Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience
only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.5 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, regardless of whether 

  
 Sale Agreement (2014-1)

 
delivered in physical or electronic form, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

SECTION 4.6 Amendment. 

(a) Any term or provision of this Agreement (including Appendix A hereto) may be amended by the Seller and the Issuer without the
consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Owner Trustee or any other Person subject to the satisfaction of one of the following conditions: 

(i) The Seller delivers an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such
amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; or 
 (ii) The Rating Agency Condition
is satisfied with respect to such amendment and the Seller notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment. 

(b) This Agreement (including Appendix A) may also be amended from time to time by the Issuer and the Seller, with the consent of
(i) the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance and (ii) the Majority Certificateholders, 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 approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders and Certificateholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders and Certificateholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to the Note
Depository Agreement. 
 (c) Prior to the execution of any amendment pursuant to this Section 4.6, the Seller shall provide
written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Seller shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating Agency, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee;
provided, that no amendment pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall be effective which materially and adversely affects the rights, protections or duties of the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer without the prior written consent of such

	(p)	No Defenses. The Seller has no knowledge either of any facts which would give rise to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, or of the same being asserted or threatened, with respect to any
Receivable.

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
the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the following documents or instruments, which are hereby or will hereby be constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or its agent or designee), as pledgee of the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture 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, electronically authenticated original or authenticated copy of the Contract (in each case 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 therefore 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. 
 (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. The Servicer may, in accordance with its Customary
Servicing Practices: (i) maintain all or a portion of the Receivable 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. After the

  

					
		  	2	  	 Servicing Agreement

(2014-1)

 
satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the Servicer shall act as custodian of the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer. 

(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 due 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 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; provided, however, that the Servicer 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, breach of contract or negligence of the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer 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 due care any Certificate of Title or other document released to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee’s agent or designee pursuant to Section 2.1(d). 
 (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 

  

					
		  	3	  	 Servicing Agreement

(2014-1)

 
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, or by the Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance, in the same
manner as the Relevant Trustee or such Noteholders 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. 
 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. The 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 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 Certificateholder, 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 legal Proceeding to enforce a Receivable or an Insurance Policy or to commence or participate in any
other legal 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 legal 

  

					
		  	4	  	 Servicing Agreement

(2014-1)

 
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 enforcement suit or legal 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 Indenture Trustee 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. 
 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
extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments 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 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 purchasing 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 to Obligors with respect to the Receivables so long as such practices, promotions or sales are offered to obligors 

  

					
		  	5	  	 Servicing Agreement

(2014-1)

 
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. The Servicer and its Affiliates (each in its individual capacity and not on behalf of the Issuer) may also sell insurance or debt cancellation
products, including products which result in the cancellation of some or all of the amount of a Receivable upon the death or disability of the Obligor or any casualty with respect to the Financed Vehicle. 

(b) The Servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of
servicing a Receivable. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable by
making a new loan to the related 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 tax purposes, as a payoff of all amounts owed by the related Obligor with respect to such Receivable. 

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 

  

					
		  	6	  	 Servicing Agreement

(2014-1)

 
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
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 or the Noteholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, that delivery of a Servicer’s Certificate which identifies the Receivables
that are being or have been repurchased shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by the Servicer and the Issuer of such breach; 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 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 repurchase date is not a Payment Date or, if such repurchase date is a Payment Date, then prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to such repurchase date. Upon payment of such
Repurchase Price by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee 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. 

  

					
		  	7	  	 Servicing Agreement

(2014-1)

 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 and the Reserve Account during each Collection Period. 

SECTION 3.8 Administrator’s Fee. The Servicer shall pay the fees and expenses of the Administrator described in
Section 3 of the Administration Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.9 Servicer’s Certificate. On or before the Determination
Date preceding each Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and each Paying Agent, with a copy to each of the Rating Agencies, a Servicer’s Certificate containing all information necessary to make the payments,
transfers and distributions pursuant to Section 4.3 and Sections 8.2, 8.4 and 8.5 of the Indenture on such Payment Date. At the sole option of the Servicer, each Servicer’s Certificate 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. 
 SECTION 3.10 Annual Officer’s Certificate; Notice of Servicer Replacement Event. (a) So long as the Seller is
filing any reports with respect to the Issuer under the Exchange Act, the Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, on or before March 30 of each calendar year, beginning on March 30, 2015, an
Officer’s Certificate (with appropriate insertions) providing such information as is required under Item 1123 of Regulation AB. 

(b) The Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof written
notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Replacement Event. Except to the extent set forth in this Section 3.10(b), Section 6.2
and Section 8.20 of this Agreement and Section 3.12 and Section 6.5 of the Indenture, the Transaction Documents do not require any policies or procedures to monitor any performance or other triggers and events of
default. 
 (c) So long as the Seller is filing any reports with respect to the Issuer under the Exchange Act, the Servicer will deliver to
the Issuer on or before March 30 of each year, beginning on March 30, 2015, a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, including disclosure of
any material instance of non-compliance identified by the Servicer, as required under paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-18 and Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. 

SECTION 3.11 Annual Registered Public Accounting Firm Attestation Report. 

(a) So long as the Seller is filing any reports with respect to the Issuer under the Exchange Act, on or before the 90th day following the end
of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent 

  

					
		  	8	  	 Servicing Agreement

(2014-1)

 
registered public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer, the Seller or their respective Affiliates) to furnish to the Issuer, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, the
Bank, 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 (c) of Rule 13a-18 or Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The certification required by this paragraph may be replaced by any similar certification using other procedures or attestation standards which

 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 pursuant to the Indenture: 

(a) Existence and Power. The Servicer is a banking corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of
organization 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 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 actions, suits or Proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against the
Servicer before or by any Governmental 

  

					
		  	11	  	 Servicing Agreement

(2014-1)

 
Authority that (i) assert 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 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 and the Seller from and against
any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof 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 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 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 Obligor and for which reimbursement would constitute recourse for uncollectible Receivables. 

(c) The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture 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 in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any other 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. 

  

					
		  	12	  	 Servicing Agreement

(2014-1)

 (d) The Servicer will compensate and indemnify the 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 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 of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement or the resignation or
removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture 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 Fifth Third
Bancorp, 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 Rating Agencies, 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 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 

  

					
		  	13	  	 Servicing Agreement

(2014-1)

 
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 Certificateholder 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. The Servicer, and
any Affiliate of the Servicer, may, in its individual or any other capacity, become the owner or pledgee of Notes 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 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.

 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 (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
(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, 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 (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. 
 (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, 

  

					
		  	15	  	 Servicing Agreement

(2014-1)

 
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 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 Indenture Trustee or 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. 

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 any event, no later than five (5) Business Days) written notice thereof to the Owner Trustee, the Issuer and the Administrator 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 third and fifth of Section 8.5(a) of the Indenture (assuming
that such Payment Date is not a Redemption Date) and (y) the 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 interest on the Receivables, which amount shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account on the Redemption Date. If the
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 and (ii) the Majority Certificateholders, 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 approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders and Certificateholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution

Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or otherwise. 

(e) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section 8.1, this Agreement may only be amended by the Servicer if (i) the

and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders.

purchaser, lender or other 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

right hereunder (to the extent such Person has any power or right hereunder) shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
