CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES; CUSTODY OF RECEIVABLES FILES

 

Section
2.01.        Conveyance of Receivables.

 

(a)         
In consideration of the Issuer’s delivery to or upon the order of the Seller of the Certificates and the net proceeds of
the sale of the Notes, less an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Initial Deposit to be deposited to the Reserve Fund and the Yield
Supplement Account Deposit to be deposited to the Yield Supplement Account, each on the Closing Date, the Seller does hereby sell,
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse (subject to the obligations of the Seller set
forth herein), all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under:

 

(i)          
the Receivables and all monies due thereon or paid thereunder or in respect thereof (including proceeds of the repurchase of Receivables
by the RPA Seller pursuant to Section 2.04 or the purchase of Receivables by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08
or 8.01) on or after the Cutoff Date;

    

     

    

(ii)         
the security interests in the Financed Vehicles;

 

(iii)        
any proceeds of any physical damage insurance policies covering the Financed Vehicles and in any proceeds of any credit life or
credit disability insurance policies relating to the Receivables or the Obligors;

 

(iv)        
any proceeds of Dealer Recourse (excluding Receivables repurchased from the Issuer);

 

(v)         
the Receivables Purchase Agreement, but not the obligations of the Seller thereunder;

 

(vi)        
the right to realize upon any property (including the right to receive future Liquidation Proceeds) that shall have secured a
Receivable and have been repossessed by or on behalf of the Issuer;

 

(vii)       
all funds on deposit from time to time in the Accounts, including the Reserve Fund Initial Deposit and the Yield Supplement Account
Deposit, and in all investment income and proceeds thereof; and

 

(viii)      
the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

 

The
Seller hereby confirms to the Issuer that, as of the Closing Date, the Seller shall have caused the portions of all related electronic
records relating to the Receivables to be clearly and unambiguously marked, and shall have made the appropriate entries in its
general accounting records, to indicate that such Receivables have been transferred and sold to the Issuer.

 

(b)         
The parties hereto intend that the conveyance hereunder be a sale. In the event that the conveyance hereunder is not for any reason
considered a sale, the Seller hereby grants to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in all of its right, title
and interest in, to and under the Receivables, and all other property conveyed hereunder and all proceeds of any of the foregoing,
and intends that this Agreement constitute a security agreement under applicable law. Such grant is made to secure the payment
of all amounts payable hereunder.

 

Section
2.02.        Custody of Receivable Files. To assure uniform quality in servicing the
Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer hereby revocably appoints the Servicer, and the Servicer accepts such
appointment, to act for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the following documents or instruments
which are hereby constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer, as of the Closing Date with respect
to each Receivable:

 

(a)         
(i) in the case of a tangible Receivable, the fully executed or otherwise authenticated (as defined in the UCC) original of such
Receivable, or (ii) in the case of an electronic Receivable, the authoritative copy of the record or records (within the meaning
of the UCC) comprising such Receivable;

    2

     

    

(b)         
the original credit application executed or otherwise authenticated by the related Obligor (or a copy or other image or electronic
record thereof);

 

(c)         
the original certificate of title (or evidence that such certificate of title has been applied for) or such documents that the
Servicer shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, evidencing the security interest in the related Financed
Vehicle; and

 

(d)         
any and all other documents that the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary
procedures, relating to such Receivable or the related Obligor or Financed Vehicle;

 

provided
that the Servicer may appoint one or more agents to act as subcustodians of certain items contained in a Receivable File so
long as the Servicer remains primarily responsible for their safekeeping.

 

Section
2.03.        Representations and Warranties as to the Receivables.

 

(a)         
The RPA Seller has made each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit A to the Receivables Purchase Agreement
and has consented to the assignment by the Seller to the Issuer of the Seller’s rights with respect thereto. Such representations
and warranties speak as of the respective dates set forth therein, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the
Receivables to the Issuer hereunder and the pledge of such Receivables to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. Pursuant
to Section 2.01 of this Agreement, the Seller has sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Issuer, as part of the
assets of the Issuer, its rights under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the representations and warranties of the
RPA Seller therein as set forth in Exhibit A to the Receivables Purchase Agreement (upon which representations and warranties
the Issuer relies in accepting the Receivables and delivering the Securities) together with all rights of the Seller with respect
to any breach thereof, including the right to require the RPA Seller to repurchase Receivables in accordance with the Receivables
Purchase Agreement as of the Cutoff Date. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties referred to in this
Section shall survive the sale and delivery of the Receivables to the Issuer.

 

(b)         
The RPA Seller hereby agrees that the Issuer shall have the right to enforce any and all rights under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement assigned to the Issuer herein, including the right to cause the RPA Seller to repurchase any Receivable with respect
to which it is in breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit A to the Receivables Purchase
Agreement, directly against the RPA Seller as though the Issuer were a party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the Issuer
shall not be obligated to exercise any such rights indirectly through the Seller.

 

(c)        
The Seller makes the following representations and warranties on which the Issuer shall rely in acquiring the Receivables. Such
representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, but shall
survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee.

    3

     

    

(i)             
Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, taken as a whole, constitute
a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Issuer and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be
part of the debtor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy
law. Other than (1) the sale by the Seller to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and (2) the security interest granted by the
Issuer to the Indenture Trustee in the Indenture, no Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller
to any Person other than the Issuer, and no Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Issuer to any Person
other than the Indenture Trustee, and no provision of a Receivable shall have been waived, except as provided in clause (h)
above; immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable title to each
Receivable free and clear of all Liens and rights of any other Person and immediately prior to the pledge of security interest
contemplated in the Indenture, the Issuer had good and marketable title to each Receivable free and clear of all Liens and rights
of any other Person; immediately upon the transfer and assignment contemplated herein, the Issuer shall have good and marketable
title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of any other Person and immediately upon the pledge of the security
interest contemplated in the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will have a valid and continuing security interest in the Receivables;
and both the transfer and assignment herein contemplated and the pledge of security interest contemplated by the Indenture have
been perfected under the applicable UCC.

 

(ii)            
All Filings Made. Both the Seller and the Issuer, respectively, have caused or will have caused, or have taken or will
take, within ten (10) days of the Closing Date, all steps necessary, including the filing of all appropriate financing statements
(including UCC filings) necessary in the appropriate jurisdictions under the applicable law, to give the Issuer a first priority
perfected security interest in the Receivables, and to give the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest
therein, shall have been made. Except as contemplated hereby or in the Indenture, as applicable, neither the Seller nor the Issuer
has authorized the filing of or is aware of any financing statements with respect to the Receivables, other than such financing
statements that have been terminated on or prior to the Closing Date.

 

(iii)           
Security Interest. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Receivables
in favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and
purchasers from the Seller.

    4

     

    

Section
2.04.        Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach. In the event of a breach of any
representation or warranty set forth on Exhibit A to the Receivables Purchase Agreement which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Issuer or the Securityholders and unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the
second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which the discovery of the breach is made or notice is received, as
the case may be (or, at the option of the RPA Seller, the last day in the first Collection Period following the Collection Period
in which such discovery is made), the RPA Seller shall repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer. On the Business Day before
the related Payment Date, the RPA Seller shall remit the Warranty Purchase Payment in respect of such Receivable to the Collection
Account in the manner specified in Section 4.05. Upon any such repurchase, the Issuer shall, without further action, be
deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the RPA Seller, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to
and under such repurchased Receivable, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Issuer
and the Trustees shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer and assignment and take such other actions as shall
be reasonably requested by the RPA Seller to effect the conveyance of such Receivable pursuant to this Section. The sole remedy
of the Issuer, the Trustees and the Securityholders with respect to a breach of the RPA Seller’s representations and warranties
pursuant to Exhibit A to the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall be to require the RPA Seller to repurchase the related
Receivable pursuant to this Section. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any duty to conduct an affirmative
investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to Section 2.04
or the eligibility of any Receivables for purposes of this Agreement.

 

Section
2.05.        Duties of Servicer as Custodian.

 

(a)         
Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer
and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable
the Issuer to comply with this Agreement. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care,
using that degree of skill and attention that it exercises with respect to the receivable files of comparable automobile receivables
(including light-duty trucks) that the Servicer services for itself or others. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted,
periodic examinations of the files of all receivables owned or serviced by it which shall include the Receivable Files held by
it under this Agreement, and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Issuer
or the Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Servicer’s record keeping. The Servicer shall promptly report to
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and
computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed
to require an initial review or any periodic review of the Receivable Files by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

 

(b)         
Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall maintain each Receivable File solely in its capacity as Servicer
at one of its (or its agents’) offices or the offices of one of its custodians in the United States or at such other office
as shall be specified to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in writing upon the request of such party. The Servicer shall make
available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or its duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors the Receivable
Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times as the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee shall reasonably instruct.

    5

     

    

(c)         
Release of Documents. Upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall release any document in the Receivable
Files to the Indenture Trustee or its agent or designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee
may designate, as soon as practicable. The Servicer shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by the failure of the Indenture
Trustee to return any document or any delay in doing so.

 

Section
2.06.        [Reserved].

 

Section
2.07.        Indemnification by Custodian. The Servicer, as custodian of the Receivable
Files, shall fully indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and the Trustees for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory
damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever (including any reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by any
Trustee in connection with the enforcement of any indemnification or other obligation of the Servicer, as custodian of the Receivable
Files) that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the Issuer and the Trustees as the result of any improper act or omission
in any way relating to the maintenance and custody of the Receivable Files by the Servicer, as custodian; provided, however,
that the Servicer shall not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence of the Indenture Trustee or the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence (except for errors in judgment)
of the Owner Trustee or of the Delaware Trustee.

 

Section
2.08.        Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as custodian
of the Receivable Files shall become effective as of the Cutoff Date and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated
pursuant to this Section. If the Servicer shall resign as Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05 or if all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer have been terminated pursuant to Section 7.02, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian
of the Receivable Files shall be terminated without further action by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders. The Indenture
Trustee or, with the written consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee may terminate the Servicer’s appointment
as custodian of the Receivable Files with cause at any time immediately upon written notification to the Servicer and, without
cause, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notification by the Servicer. As soon as practicable, but in no event later
than thirty (30) days immediately following the effective date of any termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall deliver
the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee or its agent at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate.
Notwithstanding the termination of the Servicer as custodian of the Receivable Files, the Indenture Trustee agrees that upon any
such termination, the Indenture Trustee shall provide, or cause its agent to provide, access to the Receivable Files to the Servicer
for the purpose of carrying out its duties and responsibilities with respect to the servicing of the Receivables pursuant to this
Agreement.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

 

Section
3.01.        Duties of Servicer. The Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer (to the
extent provided herein), shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables (other than Administrative
Receivables and Warranty Receivables) with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises
with respect to all comparable automobile receivables (including light-duty trucks) that it services for itself or others. The
Servicer’s duties shall include collecting and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors or by federal,
state or local government authorities with respect to the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements
to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors in accordance with its customary practices, policing the collateral, accounting
for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustees with respect to distributions, generating U.S. federal
income tax information, making Advances and performing the other duties specified herein. The Servicer shall follow its customary
standards, policies and procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection
with such managing, servicing, administering and collecting that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Servicer shall be authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the
Trustees, the Securityholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release
or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is
hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, a legal proceeding to enforce a Defaulted Receivable
pursuant to Section 3.04 or to commence or participate in a legal proceeding (including without limitation a bankruptcy
proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, including a Defaulted Receivable. If the Servicer commences or participates
in such a legal proceeding in its own name, the Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the
purpose of collection on behalf of the party retaining an interest in such Receivable, such Receivable and the other property
conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such Receivable to the Servicer 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 shall be held that the
Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the grounds that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce
such Receivable, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall, at the Servicer’s expense and written direction, take
steps to enforce such Receivable, including bring suit in its name or the name of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders
or the Certificateholders. The Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and
other documents and take any other steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry
out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

 

Section
3.02.        Collection of Receivable Payments. The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts
to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and
shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable automobile receivables (including light-duty
trucks) that it services for itself or others. The Servicer shall be authorized to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on
a Receivable without the prior consent of the Issuer. If, as a result of the extending of payments in accordance with the customary
servicing standards of the Servicer, any Receivable will be outstanding later than the Final Scheduled Maturity Date, the Servicer
shall be obligated to repurchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 3.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, extensions or
modifications of the payment schedule of a Receivable can be made only in accordance with the customary servicing procedures of
the Servicer, as such customary servicing procedures may be changed from time to time. The Servicer may, in accordance with its
customary servicing procedures, waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the
ordinary course of servicing the Receivables.

Section
3.03.        [Reserved]

 

Section
3.04.        Realization Upon Receivables. On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall
use its best efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership
of any Financed Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or otherwise converted following a default under
the Receivable secured by the Financed Vehicle. The Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary
or advisable and as shall be customary and usual in its servicing of automobile receivables (including light-duty trucks), which
practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any Dealer Recourse, selling the related Financed Vehicle
at public or private sale and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable. The Servicer shall be
entitled to recover its reasonable Liquidation Expenses with respect to each Defaulted Receivable, which are not to exceed the
related Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to each such Defaulted Receivable; provided, however, that the Servicer
shall not be obligated to take actions to realize upon any Defaulted Receivables unless, in its reasonable opinion, Liquidation
Proceeds will exceed Liquidation Expenses. All Net Liquidation Proceeds realized in connection with any such action with respect
to a Receivable shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 4.02(a).

 

Section
3.05.        Maintenance of Physical Damage Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall,
in accordance with its customary servicing procedures and underwriting standards, require that each Obligor shall have obtained
physical damage insurance covering each Financed Vehicle as of the origination of the related Receivable.

 

Section
3.06.        Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is
hereby authorized to and shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures and at its own expense, take such steps
as are necessary to maintain perfection of and/or reperfect the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed
Vehicle, including in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment
of a Receivable to the Issuer is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title,
to grant to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, the Servicer hereby agrees
to serve as the agent of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting the security interest of the Issuer in such Financed Vehicle
and agrees that the Servicer’s listing as the secured party on the certificate of title is solely in its capacity as agent
of the Issuer.

 

Section
3.07.        Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer makes the following covenants on which
the Issuer shall rely in accepting the Receivables in trust pursuant to Section 2.01:

 

(a)         
Liens in Force. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, the Servicer shall not release in whole or in part
any Financed Vehicle from the security interest securing the related Receivable.

 

(b)         
No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Issuer in the Receivables.

    8

     

    

(c)         
No Amendments. Subject to Section 3.02, the Servicer shall not amend or otherwise modify any Receivable such that
the total number of Scheduled Payments is extended beyond the Final Scheduled Maturity Date, or either the Amount Financed or
the APR is altered, unless it is required to take the action by law or court order.

 

Section
3.08.        Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. Upon a breach of any of the covenants
of the Servicer set forth in Section 3.07 that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Securityholders
in any Receivable, or if an improper extension, rescheduling or modification of a Receivable is made by the Servicer as described
in Section 3.02, and such breach or impropriety shall not have been cured in all material respects, the Servicer shall,
as of the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it discovers such breach (or, at the
Servicer’s election, the last day of the first Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it discovers such
breach) purchase from the Issuer such Receivable and remit on the related Payment Date the Administrative Purchase Payment to
the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 4.05. Upon such deposit of the Administrative Purchase Payment,
the Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have released all claims for reimbursement of Outstanding Advances
made in respect of such Receivable. The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Trustees or the Securityholders against the Servicer with
respect to a breach pursuant to Section 3.02 or 3.07 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase the related Receivables
pursuant to this Section, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.02. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee
shall have any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of
any Receivable pursuant to this Section.

 

Section
3.09.        Total Servicing Fee; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer. As compensation
for the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive on each Payment Date the Total Servicing
Fee; provided, the Servicing Fee in respect of a Collection Period (together with any portion of the Servicing Fee that
remains unpaid from prior Payment Dates) will be paid at the beginning of that Collection Period out of collections of interest
on the Receivables for such Collection Period. The Basic Servicing Fee in respect of a Collection Period shall be calculated based
on a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, the Servicer shall be required
to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer
and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of reports and fees to independent accountants).

 

Section
3.10.        Servicer’s Certificate. On or before each Determination Date, the
Servicer will deliver to the Trustees and the Administrator (which the Administrator shall make available to each Rating Agency
pursuant to Section 1.02(c) of the Administration Agreement) a servicing report containing all information necessary to make the
payments, transfers and distributions pursuant to Sections 4.05, 4.06 and 4.07 hereof and Section
8.02(d) of the Indenture for the related Payment Date, together with the written statements to be furnished pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof
and Section 6.06 of the Indenture (such report, the “Servicer’s Certificate”) for that
Payment Date and the related Collection Period.  A Responsible Person of the Servicer will certify that the information in
the Servicer’s Certificate is accurate, to the best of his/her knowledge, in all material respects.

and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under
this Agreement throughout such period in all material respects, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such
obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

 

(b)         
The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustees and the Administrator, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, an Officer’s
Certificate (which the Administrator shall make available to each Rating Agency pursuant to Section 1.02(c) of the Administration
Agreement) specifying the nature and status of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become
a Servicer Default.

 

Section
3.12.         Assessment of Compliance and Annual Accountants’ Report.

 

(a)         
On or before ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year for which a report on Form 10-K is required to be filed with the
Commission by or on behalf of the Issuer, commencing with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Servicer shall:

 

(i)          
deliver to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator a report (which the Administrator shall make available to each
Rating Agency pursuant to Section 1.02(c) of the Administration Agreement) regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance
with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange
Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be addressed to the Issuer and signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer,
and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified in Exhibit D hereto delivered to the Issuer and the Administrator
concurrently with the execution of this Agreement;

 

(ii)         
deliver to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator a report of a registered public accounting firm reasonably acceptable

pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X
under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;

    10

     

    

(iii)        
use its best efforts to cause each Subservicer and each Subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be “participating in
the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Issuer and the Administrator
an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section;

 

(iv)

302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) on behalf of an asset-backed issuer with respect to a securitization transaction a certification
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

 

The
Servicer acknowledges that the parties identified in clause (a)(v) above may rely on the certification provided by the
Servicer pursuant to such clause in signing a Sarbanes Certification and filing such with the Commission. The Administrator, acting
on behalf of the Issuer, will not request delivery of a certification under clause (a)(v) above unless the Depositor is
required under the Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to an Issuer whose asset pool includes the
Receivables.

 

(b)         
Each assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.12(a)(iii) shall address each of the Servicing
Criteria specified on a certification to be delivered to the Servicer, Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator on or prior
to the date of such appointment. An assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor pursuant to Section 3.12(a)(iii) need
not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Servicer and the Issuer on the date of such
appointment.

 

Section
3.13.        Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables.
At the request of the RPA Seller, the Servicer shall provide to the Trustees and the Asset Representations Reviewer reasonable
access to the documentation regarding the Receivables including, but not limited to, any information required to be provided by
the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Servicer shall provide such access to any Securityholder
only in such cases where a Securityholder is required by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation. In each
case, such access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the respective
offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable
law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided
in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

 

Section
3.14.        [Reserved].

Section
3.16.        Appointment of Subservicer or Subcontractor.

 

(a)         
The Servicer may at any time appoint a subservicer to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders for the servicing and administering of the Receivables in accordance
with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Receivables.
The fees and expenses of the subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and its subservicer from time to time, and none
of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders shall
have any responsibility therefor.

 

(b)         
The Servicer shall cause any Subservicer used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Issuer to comply
with the reporting and compliance provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer, and
to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer as is required to file all required reports with the Commission.
The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Issuer and the Administrator any servicer
compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 3.11, any assessment of compliance and
attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 3.12 and any certification required to be delivered
to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification under Section 3.12(a)(iv) as and when required
to be delivered.

    12

     

    

(c)         
The Servicer shall promptly upon request provide to the Issuer or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, a written
description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer and the Administrator) of the role and function of each Subcontractor
utilized by the Servicer or any Subservicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which, if any, of such
Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and
(iii) which, if any, elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor
identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.

 

As
a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within
the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer)
for the benefit of the Issuer and the Depositor to comply with the reporting and compliance provisions of Section 3.12(a)
of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining
from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Issuer and the Administrator any assessment of compliance and attestation required
to be delivered by such Subcontractor, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

 

Section
3.17.        Information to be Provided by the Servicer.

 

(a)         
At the request of the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, for the purpose of satisfying its reporting obligation under
the Exchange Act with respect to any class of asset-backed securities, the Servicer shall (or shall cause each Subservicer to)

the Servicer or any Subservicer and (ii) provide to the Issuer and the Administrator a description of such proceedings.

 

(b)

the Servicer or any Subservicer, the Servicer shall provide to the Issuer, the Administrator and the Depositor, at least ten (10)
Business Days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment, (x) written notice to the Issuer and the Administrator
of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Administrator,

(c)         
In addition to such information as the Servicer, as servicer, is obligated to provide pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement,
if so requested by the Issuer or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall provide such information

DISTRIBUTIONS; RESERVE FUND;

STATEMENTS TO SECURITYHOLDERS

 

Section
4.01.        Establishment of Accounts.

 

(a)         
The Servicer shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account with the Securities Intermediary in the name of the Indenture Trustee
for the benefit of (i) the Securityholders (the “Collection Account”), (ii) the Noteholders (the “Note Distribution
Account”), (iii) the Securityholders (the “Reserve Fund”) and (iv) the Securityholders (the “Yield Supplement
Account”), in each case, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit
of the related Securityholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event that the Indenture Trustee is no
longer an Eligible Institution, the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the Indenture Trustee as necessary, cause the Accounts
to be moved to an Eligible Institution within 30 days.

 

(b)         
To the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, all amounts held in the Collection Account, the Reserve Fund
and the Yield Supplement Account shall be either invested by the Securities Intermediary in Eligible Investments selected in writing
by the Servicer or maintained in cash. No amounts held in the Note Distribution Account will be invested. Earnings on investment
of funds in the Collection Account (net of losses and investment expenses) shall be paid to the Servicer as part of the Supplemental
Servicing Fee and any losses and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the related Account.

 

(i)          
Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(b), the Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all
funds on deposit from time to time in the Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon) and all such funds,
investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Owner Trust Estate. The Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control
of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Securityholders, as the case may be.

    14

     

    

(ii)         
Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Servicer agrees that the Reserve Fund, the Yield Supplement Account and the
Collection Account will be established only with an Eligible Institution which agrees substantially as follows: (A) it will comply
with Entitlement Orders related to such account issued by the Indenture Trustee without further consent by the Servicer or Issuer;
(B) until termination of this Agreement, it will not enter into any other agreement related to such account pursuant to which
it agrees to comply with Entitlement Orders of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee; (C) all Account Property delivered
or credited to it in connection with such account and all proceeds thereof will be promptly credited to such account; (D) it will
treat all Account Property as Financial Assets; and (E) all Account Property will be physically delivered (accompanied by any
required endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name of, the Eligible Institution maintaining the related Account
in accordance with such Eligible Institution’s customary procedures such that such Eligible Institution establishes a Security
Entitlement in favor of the Indenture Trustee with respect thereto over which the Indenture Trustee (or such other Eligible Institution)
has Control.

 

(iii)        
The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture
Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Accounts for the purpose of permitting the
Servicer or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or under the Trust Agreement or permitting the Indenture
Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.

 

Section
4.02.        Collections.

 

(a)         
The Servicer shall remit daily to the Collection Account all payments received from or on behalf of the Obligors on or in respect
of the Receivables and all Net Liquidation Proceeds within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, in each case, minus
(i) an amount equal to amounts previously deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account but later determined by the
Servicer in its reasonable opinion to have resulted from mistaken deposits or postings, which amounts have not been previously
reimbursed to the Servicer, and (ii) any prepayment charge and other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges which
shall be retained by the Servicer and Supplemental Servicing Fees; provided, that any payments received in respect of an
Obligor that are not immediately identifiable as such, shall not be deemed “received” until such time as the Obligor
is identified and the payment is allocated as such, in accordance with the Servicer’s customary servicing practices.

    15

     

    

(b)         
Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above and subject to and upon compliance with the terms and conditions set
forth in this clause (b), the Servicer may be permitted to make remittances of collections on a less frequent basis than
that specified in clause (a) above for so long as such terms and conditions are fulfilled. Accordingly, the Servicer
will be permitted to remit collections referred to in clause (a) above to the Collection Account in immediately available
funds on each Deposit Date for so long as (A) the Servicer shall be AHFC, (B) no Servicer Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and not have been waived in accordance with the Basic Documents, and (C) (x) the Required Servicer
Rating is satisfied, or (y) if the Required Servicer Rating is not satisfied, the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied or
the proposed alternative collections remittance schedule is otherwise acceptable to the Rating Agencies. The Indenture Trustee
shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event or circumstance under clause (B) above that would require daily remittance
by the Servicer to the Collection Account unless a Responsible Officer has received notice of such event or circumstance from
the Seller or the Servicer in an Officer’s Certificate, from Securityholders as provided in Section 7.01. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, commencing with the first Collection Period that begins at least two (2) Business Days following (x) non-compliance
with any of clause (A), (B) or (C) above, or (y) the occurrence of an event specified in Section 7.01(c)
(notwithstanding any period of grace contained in such clause) and for so long as such condition continues to exist, the Servicer
shall remit all collections referred to in clause (a) above to the Collection Account on a daily basis within two (2) Business
Days of receipt thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. For purposes of this Article the phrase “payments made
on behalf of Obligors” shall mean payments made by Persons other than the Seller or the Servicer.

 

Section
4.03.        Application of Collections. On each Payment Date, all collections for the
related Collection Period shall be applied by the Servicer as follows:

 

(a)         
With respect to each Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable), payments made by or on behalf
of the Obligor which are not Supplemental Servicing Fees shall be applied first to reimburse the Servicer for Outstanding Advances
made with respect to such Receivable (each such payment, an “Overdue Payment”). Next, the amount of any payment in
excess of Supplemental Servicing Fees and Outstanding Advances with respect to such Receivable shall be applied to the Scheduled
Payment with respect to such Receivable. The amount of such payment remaining after the applications described in the two preceding
sentences shall be applied to prepay the principal balance of such Receivable.

 

(b)         
With respect to each Administrative Receivable and Warranty Receivable, payments made by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be
applied in the same manner. A Warranty Purchase Payment shall be applied to reduce Outstanding Advances and such Warranty Purchase
Payment or an Administrative Purchase Payment, as applicable, shall then be applied to the Scheduled Payment, in each case to
the extent that the payments by the Obligor shall be insufficient, and then to prepay the unpaid principal balance of such Receivable
in full.

 

Section
4.04.        Advances.

 

(a)         
As of the close of business on the last day of a Collection Period, if the payments during such Collection Period by or on behalf
of the Obligor on or in respect of a Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) after application
under Section 4.03(a) shall be less than the Scheduled Payment, whether as a result of any extension granted to the Obligor
or otherwise, then the Servicer may, at its option, advance to the Trust an amount equal to the product of the principal balance
of such Receivable as of the first day of such Collection Period and one-twelfth of its APR minus the amount of interest actually
received on such Receivable during such Collection Period (each, an “Advance”). If the calculation above results in
a negative number, an amount equal to such negative amount shall be paid to the Servicer in reimbursement of any Outstanding Advances
in respect of such Receivables. In addition, in the event that a Receivable becomes a Liquidated Receivable, the amount of accrued
and unpaid interest thereon (but not including interest for the current Collection Period) shall, up to the amount of Outstanding
Advances in respect of such Receivables in respect thereof, be withdrawn from the Collection Account and paid to the Servicer
in reimbursement of such Outstanding Advances. No Advances will be made with respect to the Principal Balance of Receivables or
with respect to Defaulted Receivables. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be required to make any Advance.

such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in

pursuant to Section 6.05, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement,
in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice

in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter
relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer and shall be entitled to the Total Servicing Fee and all the rights granted

of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article, the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders,
and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Noteholders and the Administrator (who shall make such notice
available to each Rating Agency pursuant to Section 1.02(c) of the Administration Agreement).

 

Section
7.04.        Waiver of Past Defaults. The Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority
of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or the Certificateholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests
(in the case of a default by the Servicer that does not adversely affect the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders or if all Notes
have been paid in full and the Indenture Trustee has been discharged in accordance with its terms) may, on behalf of all Securityholders
waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default
in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Accounts or the Certificate Distribution Account in accordance
with this Agreement or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified with the consent of each Securityholder.
Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.

 

Section

by the Sponsor, the Administrator, the Issuer and the Depositor if (i) the Certificateholders evidencing a majority of the
Certificate Balance of the Trust Certificates consent to such amendment or (ii) such amendment shall not, as evidenced by
an Officer’s Certificate of the Administrator or the Depositor or an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee, materially
and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders.

evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes and the consent of the Certificateholders evidencing
