Pursuant to Section 2.01(f) of the FSB/RFC IV Receivables Purchase Agreement, each Account has continued to be owned by FSB and has not been a Purchased Asset. 

Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 16, 1996, as amended and restated
from time to time, most recently as of July 20, 2016 (as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), RFC III and RFC IV, as
transferors, have assigned to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, the Trust Assets (as defined therein). Each Account has continued to be owned by Centurion or FSB, as applicable, and has not been a Trust Asset. 

Pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Existing Pooling and Servicing Agreement, TRS has agreed to act as the Servicer to
service and administer the Receivables. Pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Existing Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer has the full power and authority, whether acting in its own name or on behalf of another and whether acting alone
or through a party properly designated by it, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable, including, among other things, the power and authority to commence collection or
enforcement proceedings with respect to delinquent Receivables, including the Defaulted Receivables. 

 Pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Existing Pooling and Servicing Agreement,

Servicer has engaged Centurion and FSB, as subservicers, to subservice and administer the Receivables arising in the Accounts owned by them. 

Pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Existing Supplemental Servicing Agreement, each of Centurion and FSB, as subservicers,
has been granted the full power and authority, whether acting in its own name or on behalf of another and whether acting alone or through the Servicer, to do any and all things in connection with the subservicing and administration of the
Receivables which it may deem necessary or desirable and which is permitted of the Servicer under the Existing Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including, among other things, the power and authority to commence collection or enforcement proceedings
with respect to delinquent Receivables, including the Defaulted Receivables. 
 The Servicer, Centurion and FSB, as
subservicers, and RFC III and RFC IV, as transferors, have previously entered into a Defaulted Receivables Supplemental Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 10, 2013, as amended and restated from time to time, most recently as of July 20,
2016 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Original Defaulted Receivables Supplemental Servicing Agreement”), for the purpose of facilitating the servicing of Defaulted
Receivables by the Servicer and Centurion and FSB, as subservicers, and the transfer of Recoveries to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust.

restate the Centurion/RFC III Receivables Purchase Agreement and the FSB-RFC IV Receivables Purchase Agreement pursuant to the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Bank/RFC
Merger Date (as so amended and restated and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), (ii) RFC III, as Transferor, the Trustee and TRS, as Servicer, propose to
amend and restate the

further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), (iii) the Servicer, the Subservicer, and the Transferor propose to amend the Existing Supplemental Servicing Agreement
pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Supplemental Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2018, among the Servicer, the Subservicer and the Transferor (as so amended and restated and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Supplemental Servicing Agreement”), and (iv) the Servicer, the Subservicer and the Transferor propose to amend the Original Defaulted Receivables Supplemental Servicing Agreement
pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, to, among other things, reflect (A) the conversion of Centurion into, the merger of FSB with and into, and the assumption of the performance of the covenants and obligations of Centurion and FSB

SERVICING AND TRANSFER FOR COLLECTION 

Section 2.01.    Confirmation of Servicing. The Servicer is obligated under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement to service and administer each Defaulted Receivable that has been transferred automatically to the Transferor until all related Recoveries have been remitted to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust. The Subservicer has been
engaged by the Servicer to subservice and administer the Receivables arising in the Accounts owned by the Subservicer. Pursuant to such engagement, the Subservicer has the power and authority, whether acting in its own name or on behalf of another
and whether acting alone or through the Servicer, to do any and all things in connection with the subservicing and administration of the Receivables which it may deem necessary or desirable and which is permitted of the Servicer under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, including the power and authority to commence collection or enforcement proceedings with respect to delinquent Receivables, including the Defaulted Receivables. Each of the Servicing Fee and the Subservicing Fee is an arm’s-length and fair-market-value fee for all of the obligations of the Servicer and the Subservicer, as applicable, under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Supplemental Servicing Agreement,
respectively, including its obligation to service and administer each Defaulted Receivable. 

Section 2.02.    Confirmation of Appointment as Agent for Collection. By executing this
Agreement and without any further action, immediately after a Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable and is transferred to the Transferor by the Trustee under Section 2.10 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Transferor confirms that
the Servicer, and the Subservicer engaged by the Servicer, continues to be appointed as agent to collect all of the Transferor’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under that Defaulted Receivable. In addition, the Transferor ratifies and
affirms its prior appointment of the Servicer and the Subservicer engaged by the Servicer for collection of all of the Transferor’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Receivables that became Defaulted Receivables before the
Closing Date. The Servicer and the Subservicer 

  
 5 

 
engaged by the Servicer accepts such confirmation of appointment as agent to collect all of these Defaulted Receivables and distribute the proceeds as specified in the Transaction Agreements,
including, without limitation, distribution in accordance with the Trustee’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under all Recoveries allocable to the Defaulted Receivables. 

Section 2.03.    Sale of Defaulted Receivables to Third-Party Purchasers. The Servicer, or the
Subservicer, may recover on Defaulted Receivables by selling them to third-party purchasers. The purchase price that is paid for any Defaulted Receivable by a third-party purchaser will be a Recovery that must be remitted to the Trustee. By
executing this Agreement and without any further action, the Transferor releases all of its right, title, and interest in, to, and under any Defaulted Receivable that is sold to a third-party purchaser upon the full and irrevocable payment of the
related purchase price. 
 Section 2.04.    Transfer of Recoveries. All Recoveries
(including any payment described in Section 2.03) must be remitted as required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 

Section 2.05.    Representations and Warranties. On the Closing Date, each party represents
and warrants that (i) it has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) it has full power and authority, and has taken all necessary action, to duly authorize,
execute, and deliver this Agreement, to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement do not violate any applicable law, conflict with any agreement that is material to it, or require any approvals that it has not already obtained, (iv) this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid, and binding
obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or by principles of equity, and (v) it is not insolvent and is
not expected to become insolvent.

otherwise unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement will be considered severable and will continue in full force for so long as this Agreement as modified continues to express, without material change, the original intent of the parties and the

requested by the other party to effect more fully the purposes of this Agreement.

or remedy. Except as otherwise expressly provided, the rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exhaustive. 

Section 3.09.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which will be considered an original but all of which together will constitute one agreement.

the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 
 Section 3.12.    Headings. The headings are for
reference only and may not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. 

Section 3.13.    Nonpetition Covenant. Regardless of any prior termination of this Agreement,
no party (except for the Transferor to the extent prohibited by law from making this covenant in connection with itself) may file, commence, join, encourage, provide support for, or acquiesce in a petition, proceeding, or other action that causes
the Transferor or the Trust to be a debtor under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency, bankruptcy, conservatorship, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, or other debtor relief law or that causes a trustee, conservator, receiver,
liquidator, or similar official to be appointed for Transferor, the Trust, or any substantial part of any of their property.

ARTICLE III. 
 DUTIES OF
THE ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER 
 Section 3.01    Review Scope. 

The review conducted by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to this Agreement is designed to determine whether certain
Accounts and Receivables were not in compliance with the Covered Representations made with respect thereto by the Representation Parties in the Transaction Documents. 

  
 5 

 The Review is not designed to determine any of the following: 

(a)        Reason for delinquency; 

(b)        Creditworthiness of the obligor, either at the time of the Review or as of
the Account or Receivable creation date; 
 (c)        Overall quality of any Review
Account or Review Receivable; 
 (d)        Whether the applicable Servicer has
serviced any Account and/or Receivable in compliance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; 

(e)        Whether noncompliance with the representations or warranties constitutes a
breach of the provisions of any of the Transaction Documents; 
 (f)        Whether
the Accounts or Receivables were in compliance with the representations and warranties set forth in the Transaction Documents, except as expressly described in this Agreement; or 

(g)        To establish cause, materiality or recourse in the case of any failed Test
as described in Section 3.05. 
 The Parties acknowledge that certain representations and
warranties made by the Representation Parties in the Transaction Documents contain materiality thresholds, for example, where a breach of the representation or warranty is conditioned upon the failure to comply having an Adverse Effect. The Asset
Representations Reviewer will not make any determination as to materiality, including any determination as to whether any deviation from or noncompliance with the requirements of a particular representation or warranty has or may have an Adverse
Effect. Any such determination will be made by the applicable Representation Party. 
 Section 3.02    Review
Notices. 
 Upon receipt of a Review Notice from the Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer will commence a
Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to commence a Review until a Review Notice is received. Once the Review Notice is issued, the Servicer will provide the Asset Representations Reviewer access to a list of Review
Accounts within 30 days or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible in the event of a Force Majeure Event. 
 The Asset
Representations Reviewer is not obligated to verify (i) whether a Review Notice was required to be delivered under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the list of Review Accounts provided by the
Servicer. 
 Section 3.03    Review Materials. 

Within 60 days of the delivery of a Review Notice, or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible in the event of a Force
Majeure Event, the Servicer will provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with access to the Review Materials for all Review Accounts and the 

  
 6 

 Review Receivables; provided, however, that if the Servicer requires additional
time to provide one or more documents constituting Review Materials, the Servicer will provide the documentation that it has available within such 60-day period and will continue to gather the balance of the Review Materials. 

All Review Materials will be provided for onsite review at the Servicer’s offices specified in or pursuant to
Section 9.02. The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees to keep all materials reviewed confidential and will not copy or remove any documentation from the Servicer’s premises without prior written approval. The
Servicer may redact or remove Personally Identifiable Information from the Review Materials in a manner that does not change the meaning or usefulness of the Review Materials. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to rely in good
faith, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects, and not misleading in any material respect. 

Section 3.04    Missing or Incomplete Review Materials. 

Upon receipt of access to the Review Materials, the Asset Representations Reviewer will complete an initial document inventory
to verify there are no systemic documentation errors, including but not limited to consistently missing or incomplete Review Materials. The purpose of this review is to determine if there are systemic issues with documentation. 

If the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that any Review Materials are not accessible, clearly unidentifiable, and/or
illegible, the Asset Representations Reviewer will request in writing that the Servicer provide an updated or replacement copy of such Review Materials. The Servicer will use all reasonable efforts to provide, or cause to be provided, missing or
incomplete Review Materials to the Asset Representations Reviewer or other documents or information to correct the issue of incompleteness or missing information as promptly as practicable and within 30 days of the receipt of such a request by the
Asset Representations Reviewer; provided that the Servicer shall have an additional 30 days to correct any such issues if it notifies the Asset Representations Reviewer in writing that it is working diligently and it believes that
satisfactory materials will be available for review by the Asset Representations Reviewer within an additional 30 days. 

In the event any missing or incomplete Review Materials are not provided or corrected within this timeframe, the Asset
Representations Reviewer will perform the associated Tests in consideration that such Review Materials are missing or incomplete. With respect to any such missing or incomplete Review Materials, if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines in
good faith, with prior written notice to the Servicer and the Transferors, that it cannot complete a Test due to such missing information or the incompleteness of such information, the Asset Representations Reviewer will record the result of such
Test as incomplete (a “Test Incomplete”). 
 Section 3.05    The Asset
Representations Review. 
 Once the Asset Representations Reviewer has confirmed that sufficient Review Materials are
available to commence the Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will commence the 

  
 7 

 
Review. For a Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform the applicable procedures listed under “Tests” in Exhibit A for each Covered Representation using the Review
Materials identified in Exhibit A for each Test. The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Tests for each Covered Representation only using the Review Materials made available to it. For each Test, the Asset Representations Reviewer will
determine if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”), if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”) or if the result of the Test should be recorded as “Test Incomplete” in accordance with
Section 3.04. 
 If a Test with respect to a Review Account or Review Receivable was conducted in connection with a
prior Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not repeat the Test on such Review Account or Review Receivable to the extent such Test would be duplicative of the Test conducted in connection with such prior Review unless the Servicer
requests in writing that such Test be repeated. The Asset Representations Reviewer will include the previously reported Test results for any such duplicate Test within the Review Report for the current Review. 

Following the delivery of the list of Review Accounts pursuant to Section 3.02, and before the
delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a Review Receivable is paid in full by the Obligor or reassigned to a Transferor in accordance with the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. On receipt of such notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of such Review Receivable and related Review Account, and the review of such Review Receivable and related Review Account will be
considered complete (a “Test Complete”). 
 Section 3.06    Review Period. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will use its best efforts to complete the Review within 60 days of receiving access to all
Review Materials made available under Sections 3.03 and 3.04. If additional Review Materials are provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer under Section 3.04, the review period will be extended for an
additional 30 days from the latest date on which such additional Review Materials are provided. 

Section 3.07    Review Reports. 

Within five (5) Business Days following the completion of the Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide the
Servicer with a report identifying any Test that resulted in a “Test Fail” or “Test Incomplete.” Following the delivery of such report, the Servicer will have fifteen (15) Business Days to provide additional Review Materials
or any other relevant information to the Asset Representations Reviewer, and the Asset Representations Reviewer will consider any applicable Test results in light of such additional Review Materials or information. 

Within 30 days (or 45 days if additional Review Materials are provided in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph)
following the end of the applicable review period described in Section 3.06, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide the Transferors, the Servicer and the Trustee with a report providing each Test result (i.e., Test
Pass, Test Fail or Test Incomplete) for each Covered Representation with respect to the Review Accounts and Review Receivables (such report, a “Review Report”). The Review Report will contain a summary of

  
 8 

 the Review results which may be included (in whole or in part) in the Trust’s monthly
Distribution Report on Form 10-D for the applicable Monthly Period. The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that the Review Report does not contain any Personally Identifiable Information. 

Section 3.08    Review and Procedure Limitations. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation (i) to determine whether a breach of the terms of any
representation or warranty has occurred, (ii) to determine whether any applicable triggering events for a Review occurred, (iii) to determine which Accounts and/or Receivables are subject to a Review, (iv) to obtain or confirm the
validity of the Review Materials, (v) to obtain missing or incomplete Review Materials, or (vi) to take any action or cause any other party to take any action under any of the Transaction Documents to enforce any remedies for breaches of
any representations or warranties, including the Covered Representations. 
 The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be
required to perform the Tests provided in Exhibit A in consideration of the Review Materials and will have no obligation to perform additional testing procedures on any Review Accounts or Review Receivables or to consider any additional information
provided by any party. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to provide reporting or information in addition to that described in Section 3.07. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer may perform
additional testing procedures and may review and report on additional information that it determines in good faith to be material to its performance under this Agreement. 

The Transferors expressly agree that the Asset Representations Reviewer is not advising the Transferors or any Affiliate of
the Transferors or any Certificateholder or any investor or future investor concerning the suitability of the Certificates or any investment strategy. The Transferors expressly acknowledge and agree that the Asset Representations Reviewer is not an
expert in accounting, tax, regulatory, or legal matters, and that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not provide legal advice as to any matter. 

Section 3.09    Review Systems. 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain and utilize an electronic case management system to manage the Tests and
provide systematic control over each step in the Review process and ensure consistency and repeatability among the Tests. 

Section 3.10    Representatives. 

(a)        Servicer Representative. The Servicer will provide reasonable access
to one or more designated representatives to respond to reasonable requests and inquiries made by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its completion of a Review.

 Section 3.11    Dispute Resolution. 

If an Account or Receivable that was reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer is the subject of a dispute resolution
proceeding under Section 4.09 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer will participate in the dispute resolution proceeding on request of the Servicer. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer for its participation in any dispute resolution proceeding will be paid: (i) if the requesting party selects mediation as the resolution
method, as mutually agreed upon by the repurchase party and the requesting party as part of the mediation, and (ii) if the requesting party selects arbitration as the resolution method, in accordance with the final determination of the
arbitrator. 
 Section 3.12    Records Retention. 

Unless otherwise directed by the Servicer, in connection with any Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain
copies of the Review Materials (to the extent any Review Materials are copied or removed), the Review Report and any internal work papers and correspondence (collectively the “Client Records”) until the earlier of (i) the
payment in full of all Covered Series and (ii) one (1) year after the delivery of such Review Report. At the expiration of the retention period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall return all Client Records to the Servicer, in electronic

(b)        Due Qualification. The Asset Representations Reviewer is duly

Asset Representations Reviewer of this Agreement, and the other agreements and instruments executed or to be executed by the Asset Representations Reviewer as contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by the Asset Representations Reviewer by

Reviewer is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. 
 Section 5.02    Limitation of Liability. 

Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Asset Representations Reviewer in

 13 

 Reviewer shall be under any liability to any Person for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action in good faith in its capacity as Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment, whether arising from express or implied duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Asset Representations Reviewer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of

Representations Reviewer in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or the Asset Representations Reviewer’s material breach of any of its representations or warranties or obligations in this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be liable for or required to indemnify an Indemnified Amex Person from and against any Indemnifiable Amounts arising or resulting from (i) the Indemnified Amex Person’s own willful

 ARTICLE VII. 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE 

INFORMATION 

Section 7.01    Confidential Information. 

(a)        Confidential Information Defined. For the purposes of this
Agreement, “Confidential Information” means nonpublic proprietary information of the Representation Parties, the Servicer or their Affiliates (collectively, the “Disclosing Party”) that is disclosed to the Asset

(b)        Use of Confidential Information. The Asset Representations Reviewer
acknowledges that, during the term of this Agreement, it may be exposed to or acquire

conditions of this Agreement and who have entered into an agreement with the Asset Representations Reviewer with confidentiality restrictions materially equivalent to those contained herein. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be responsible
for the breach of this Agreement by any of its Representatives. The Asset Representations Reviewer will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own information of like
import, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable standard of care. 

(c)        Exceptions.    Confidential Information shall
not include, and this Agreement imposes no obligations with respect to, information that: 

(i)          is or becomes part of the public domain other than by
disclosure by the Asset Representations Reviewer or any of its Representatives in violation of this Agreement; 

(ii)          was disclosed to the Asset Representations Reviewer prior to
the effective date of this Agreement without a duty of confidentiality; 

(iii)          was obtained from a third party not known after reasonable
inquiry to be under a duty of confidentiality. 
 Section 7.02    Personally Identifiable Information. 

(a)        Definition. “Personally Identifiable Information,” or
“PII,” means (i) individually identifiable information from or about an identified or identifiable individual, or any information that is combined with such individually identifiable information, including information that can
be used to authenticate that individual or access an account, or (ii) information protected as personal data under any applicable laws, regulations, rules and guidance pertaining to privacy, data processing, data protection, data security,
encryption, and confidentiality 
 (b)        Use of Personally Identifiable
Information.     To the extent the Asset Representations Reviewer receives Personally Identifiable Information in the performance its obligations hereunder, the Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that it will not use any
Personally Identifiable Information except to the extent necessary to carry out its obligations under the Agreement and for no other purpose. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not disclose, or provide access to, any Personally Identifiable
Information to any Person other than (i) to the Asset Representations Reviewer personnel who require such Personally Identifiable Information to perform a Review, (ii) with the prior consent of the Representation Parties or the Servicer or
(iii) as required by applicable law. When permitted, the disclosure of or access to Personally Identifiable Information will be limited to the specific information necessary for the individual to complete the assigned task. 

  
 18 

 Section 7.03     Maintenance and Safeguarding. 

In order to safeguard Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party and to assure that the Asset Representations Reviewer
complies with certain data security provisions and anti-corruption standards, the Servicer has entered into an Ancillary Agreement with the Asset Representations Reviewer which covers information protection contract requirements as well as certain
anti-corruption standards. To the extent the Asset Representations Reviewer receives Confidential Information or Personally Identifiable Information in the performance of services under this Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s
receipt and maintenance of such information shall be subject to the provisions of the Ancillary Agreement. Upon the request of the Disclosing Party, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall return all Confidential Information or Personally
Identifiable Information to the Disclosing Party provided to it pursuant to this Agreement. 
 Section 7.04
    Disclosure by Operation of Law. 
 If the Asset Representations Reviewer is requested to
disclose all or any part of any Confidential Information or PII under a subpoena, or inquiry issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial or administrative agency or legislative body or committee, the Asset Representations Reviewer
shall (i) to the extent permitted by law, promptly notify the Representation Parties and the Servicer of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request; (ii) consult with the Representation Parties and the Servicer on the
advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request and cooperate with the Representation Parties and the Servicer on all steps they consider advisable; and (iii) if disclosure of the Confidential Information or PII,
as applicable, is required or deemed advisable by the Representation Parties, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an order, stipulation or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the
Confidential Information or PII, as applicable, to be disclosed. The Transferors shall reimburse, or shall cause the Servicer to reimburse, the Asset Representations Reviewer for reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
Asset Representations Reviewer’s effort to comply with this section. 
 Section 7.05     Remedies.

 The Parties agree that an actual or threatened breach of this Article VII by the Asset Representations Reviewer or
its Representatives may cause irreparable damage to the Disclosing Party and that damages may not be an adequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to restrain any such breach,
threatened or actual, without the necessity of posting bond, in addition to any other remedies available to the Disclosing Party at law or in equity.

Section 2.1        Representations and Warranties from Each
Party.    Each party hereto represents and warrants that: 

(a)        it has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under this Agreement; 
 (b)        this Agreement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by such party; and 
 (c)        assuming
the due authorization, execution and delivery by each other party hereto, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party. 

Section 2.2        Representations and Warranties from the Asset
Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer represents and warrants to the Transferor that as of the dates of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, respectively, there were no material pending legal or other proceedings
involving the Asset Representations Reviewer or of which any property of the Asset Representations Reviewer is subject that, individually or in the aggregate as to the Asset Representations Reviewer, would have a material adverse impact on investors

Representations Reviewer shall provide the Transferor notice of such event or circumstance. 
 ARTICLE III.  INDEMNIFICATION

 Section 3.1        Indemnification.    To the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Asset Representations Reviewer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Transferor and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and each Person, if any, who controls each such Transferor within
the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the

Securities Exchange Act from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, taxes, claims, actions, investigations, proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) (“Indemnifiable Amounts”) of any nature resulting from or directly related to (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Clayton Information, (ii) any
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading or (iii) a breach of any of the representations and
warranties of the Asset Representations Reviewer contained in Section 2.2 of this Agreement, in each case solely to the extent that such Indemnifiable Amounts are not incurred as a result of the Transferor’s willful misconduct,
misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence. In no event shall the Asset Representations Reviewer be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit)
irrespective of whether the Asset Representations Reviewer has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

Section 3.2        Notification; Procedural
Matters.    Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under Section 3.1 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against any indemnifying party under Section 3.1, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability which it may have under Section 3.1 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; provided further, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party other than under Section 3.1. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, the indemnifying party
elects to assume the defense thereof, it may participate with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party or parties shall reasonably have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon
receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of such counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this paragraph for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel (plus any local counsel) in
connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No party
shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall the indemnifying 

  
 B-3 

 
party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) representing an indemnified party separate from its own counsel for all indemnified parties
in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.
