Duties of the Asset Representations Reviewer

           Section 3.01.           Review Scope. The Review is designed to determine whether the Review Receivables and Review Accounts were not in compliance with the Eligible Representations.

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 Review Receivable or Review Account creation date;

           (c)           Overall quality of any Review Receivable or Review Account;

           (d)           Whether the Servicer has serviced any Review Receivable or Review Account in compliance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

           (e)           Whether noncompliance with the representations or warranties constitutes a breach of the provisions of either the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement;

           (f)           Whether the Review Receivables or Review Accounts were in compliance with the representations and warranties set forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except as expressly described in this Agreement; or

           (g)           To establish cause, materiality or recourse for any Test Fail.

           Section 3.02.           Review Notices.  Upon receipt of a notice (a “Review Notice”) from the Servicer pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and upon obtaining access to any Review Materials as provided in Section 3.03, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start its Review. Once the Review Notice is issued, the Servicer will deliver a current list that identifies each Review Account and the balance of the Review Receivables to the Asset Representations Reviewer within [twenty (20)] days.

6

The Asset Representations Reviewer is not obligated to verify (i) whether the Servicer properly determined that a Review Notice was required or (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the list of Review Accounts or the balance of the Review Receivables made available by the Servicer.

           Section 3.03.           Review Materials. The Servicer will give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Review Materials for all of the Review Receivables and Review Accounts within [sixty (60)] days after issuance of the Review Notice in one or more of the following ways: (i) by providing access to the Servicer’s receivables systems, either remotely or at an office of the Servicer, (ii) by electronic posting to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has access, (iii) by providing originals or photocopies at an office of the Servicer where the documents relating to the Receivables and the related Accounts are located or (iv) in another manner agreed to by each of the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Servicer may redact or remove Personally Identifiable Information from the Review Materials without changing the meaning or usefulness of the Review Materials for the Review.

If the Servicer provides access to the Review Materials at one of its offices, such access will be afforded without charge but only (i) upon reasonable notice, (ii) during normal business hours, (iii) subject to the Servicer’s normal security and confidentiality procedures and (iv) at offices designated by the Servicer.

           Section 3.04.           Missing or Incomplete Materials. Upon obtaining access to the Review Materials, the Asset Representations Reviewer will review the Review Materials to determine if any documents, data, or other information are missing or incomplete and, as a result, are insufficient for the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform any Test. If the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that there are any such missing or incomplete documents, data, or other information, the Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer promptly, and in any event no more than [twenty (20)] days after obtaining access to the Review Materials, specifying what information is missing or incomplete. The Servicer will have [thirty (30)] days to provide the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the missing or incomplete documents, data or other information. If access to the missing or incomplete documents, data, or other information has not been provided by the Servicer within [thirty (30)] days from the date that the Asset Representations Reviewer gave notice of such documents, data, or other information’s absence or incompleteness, the Asset Representations Reviewer will identify the associated Tests as “Test Incomplete.”

           Section 3.05.           The Asset Representations Review. When required under the terms of this Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform a Review. In the course of a Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will use the Review Materials provided or made available by the Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 3.04, as well as any Supplemental Review Materials provided or made available pursuant to Section 3.10.  For each Test, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”) or if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”).

  

7

           Section 3.06.           Review Period. (a) The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Review within [ninety (90)] days of receiving access to substantially all of the Review Materials as provided in Section 3.03, or such longer period of time (not to exceed an additional [thirty (30)] days) as the parties to this Agreement may agree. If additional Review Materials are made available to the Asset Representations Reviewer as described in Section 3.04, the Review period will be extended for an additional [thirty (30)] days beyond the period determined in accordance with the preceding sentence.

           (b)           If Supplemental Review Materials are made available to the Asset Representations Reviewer as described in Section 3.10, the Review period will be re-opened and the Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Review on the basis of such Supplemental Review Materials within [thirty (30)] days of receiving access to those Supplemental Review Materials, or such longer period of time (not to exceed an additional [fifteen (15)] days) as the parties to this Agreement may agree.

           Section 3.07.           Completion of Review for Certain Review Receivables.  Following the delivery of the list of Review Accounts and the balance of the Review Receivables, and before the delivery of any Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if the Review Receivables with respect to any Review Account have been paid in full by the related Obligor or repurchased by the Transferor or purchased by the Servicer according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of such Review Receivables and related Review Accounts and the Review of such Review Receivables and related Review Accounts will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, each Review Report will indicate a Test Complete for such Review Receivables and related Review Accounts and the related reason.

           Section 3.08.           Duplicative Test. If any Review Receivable or Review Account was included in a prior Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not perform any Tests on it, but will include the results of the previous Tests in each Review Report for the current Review. If the same Test is required for more than one Eligible Representation, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform the Test only once for each Review Receivable or Review Account but will report the results of the Test for each applicable representation or warranty on each Review Report.

           Section 3.09.           Termination of Review. If a Review is in process and the Investor Interest of all Investor Certificates will be reduced to zero on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will notify the Asset Representations Reviewer no less than [ten (10)] days before that Distribution Date. On receipt of such notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Review immediately and will not be obligated to deliver any Review Report.

           Section 3.10.           Review Report. Within [ten (10)] days following the end of the Review period described in Section 3.06(a), the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide the Servicer with a preliminary Review Report (a “Preliminary Review Report”) setting out each preliminary Test result (i.e., Test Pass, Test Fail or Test Complete) for the Review Receivables and Review Accounts.  The Servicer will provide the Preliminary Review Report to the 

8

Transferor and BANA within [two (2)] Business Days of the Servicer’s receipt of the report.  If, within [thirty (30)] days of the date that the Transferor and BANA receive the Preliminary Review Report, the Servicer receives additional documents, data, or other information (collectively, “Supplemental Review Materials”) to potentially refute any finding in the Preliminary Review Report, the Servicer will within [two (2)] Business Days of its receipt, make such Supplemental Review Materials available to the Asset Representations Reviewer in one or more of the ways set forth in Section 3.03. The Asset Representations Reviewer will then consider such Supplemental Review Materials and, within [ten (10)] days following the end of the Review period described in Section 3.06(b), either confirm or revise its Preliminary Review Report and provide the Servicer and the MTII Trustee with a final Review Report (a “Final Review Report”) setting out each final Test result (i.e., Test Pass, Test Fail or Test Complete) for the Review Receivables and Review Accounts.

If, within [forty (40)] days after the date that the Asset Representations Reviewer provided its Preliminary Review Report to the Servicer, the Servicer has not made available to the Asset Representations Reviewer Supplemental Review Materials to potentially refute a finding in the Preliminary Review Report, within [ten (10)] days following such fortieth (40th) day, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide the Servicer and the MTII Trustee with a Final Review Report (which will be based on the findings set forth in the Preliminary Review Report). The Servicer will provide the Final Review Report to the Transferor and BANA within [two (2)] Business Days of receipt of the report.

Each Review Report will include a summary containing the information required to be included in Master Trust II’s or the Note Issuer’s Form 10D report for the Monthly Period in which the Final Review Report is provided to the Servicer and the MTII Trustee. No Review Report shall contain any PII in any form relating to Obligors, as determined by the Asset Representations Reviewer with the concurrence of the Servicer. Upon reasonable request of the Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide additional detail on the preliminary or final Test results.

           Section 3.11.           Review and Procedure Limitations. (a) The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation (i) to determine whether a Delinquency Trigger has occurred, (ii) to determine whether the required percentage of Investor Certificateholders has voted to direct a Review, (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) except to the extent of its express obligations under Section 3.04, to obtain missing or incomplete documents, data, or other information, or (vi) to take any action or cause any other party to take any action under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to enforce any remedies for breaches of representations or warranties about the Eligible Representations.

           (b)           The Asset Representations Reviewer will be required to perform only the Tests provided in Exhibit A in consideration of the Review Materials and any Supplemental Review Materials and will have no obligation to perform additional testing procedures on the Review Receivables or Review Accounts, or, subject to Sections 3.04 and 3.10, 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 expressly set forth in this 

9

Agreement. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer may review and report on additional information that it determines in good faith to be material to its performance under this Agreement.

           Section 3.12.           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 3.13.           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.

           (b)           Asset Representations Review Representative.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will provide reasonable access to one or more designated representatives to respond to reasonable requests and inquiries made by the Servicer during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s completion of a Review.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to respond to requests or inquires made by any Person not party to this Agreement.

Treatment of Confidential Information

           Section 7.01.           Confidential Information.

           (a)           Confidential Information Defined.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means non-public and/or proprietary information of a party (the “Disclosing Party”) that is disclosed to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) by the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives in connection with the performance of this Agreement, including but not limited to (a) business or technical processes, formulae, source codes, object code, product designs, sales, cost and other unpublished financial information, customer information, product and business plans, projections, marketing data or strategies, trade secrets, intellectual property rights, know-how, expertise, methods and procedures for operation, information about employees, customer names, business or technical proposals, and any other information which is or should reasonably be understood to be confidential or proprietary to the Disclosing Party, (b) PPI and (c) Review Materials.  The foregoing definition of Confidential Information applies to: (i) all such information, whether tangible or intangible and regardless of the medium in which it is stored or presented; and (ii) all copies of such information, as well as all memoranda, notes, summaries, analyses, computer records, and other materials prepared by the Receiving Party or any of its employees, agents, advisors, directors, officers, accountants, auditors and subcontractors, or those of its Affiliates (collectively “Representatives”) to the extent they contain or reflect the Confidential Information.

           (b)           Use of Confidential Information.  Each party acknowledges that during the term of this Agreement it may be exposed to or acquire Confidential Information of the other party or its Affiliates.  The Receiving Party shall hold the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in strict confidence and will not disclose such information except to its Representatives who have a need to know such information in connection with the performance of this Agreement and who are informed by the Receiving Party of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and are directed by the Receiving Party to treat the Confidential Information in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  The Receiving Party shall be responsible for the 

17

breach of this Agreement by any of its Representatives.  The Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential, non-public and/or proprietary information, 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 as a result of disclosure by a Receiving Party or any of its Representatives in violation of this Agreement;

           (ii)           was disclosed to a party prior to the date of this Agreement without a pre-existing or concurrent obligation on the part of the party to keep such information confidential;

           (iii)           was or hereafter is independently developed by a party outside of this Agreement and without reference to or reliance on any Confidential Information of the other party; or

           (iv)           was obtained by the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives from a third party who is not known by the Receiving Party or such Representative, after reasonable inquiry, to be prohibited from disclosing the information to the Receiving Party or such Representative, as applicable, by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to the Disclosing Party.

The foregoing exceptions shall not apply to any PII, which shall remain confidential in all circumstances, except as required or permitted to be disclosed by applicable law, statute, or regulation.

           (d)           Disclosure by Operation of Law.  If any party or any of its Representatives is requested or required (orally or in writing, by law, regulation or interrogatory, request for information or documents, court order, subpoena, deposition, administrative proceedings, inspection, audit, civil investigative demand or other legal, governmental or regulatory process) to disclose all or any part of any Confidential Information, such party shall (i) to the extent permitted by law, rule and regulation, promptly notify the other party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request; (ii) consult with the other party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request and cooperate with such party on any steps it considers advisable; and (iii) if disclosure of the Confidential Information is required or deemed advisable, 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 to be disclosed. Each party shall reimburse the other party for reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with such party’s efforts to comply with this section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer and its Affiliates may disclose Confidential Information, without notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer, to any governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority (including, without limitation, bank and securities examiners) having or claiming to have 

18

authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of the Servicer’s business or that of its Affiliates in connection with the exercise of such authority or claimed authority.

           (e)           Return of Confidential Information.  Upon the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party provided to it pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, (i) the Receiving Party shall be permitted to retain copies of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information solely for archival, audit, disaster recovery, legal, and/or regulatory purposes or, if longer, for the period of time set forth in Section 3.15, and (ii) neither party will be required to search archived electronic back-up files of its computer systems for the other party’s Confidential Information in order to purge the other party’s Confidential Information from its archived files; provided further, that (x) any Confidential Information so retained will remain subject to the obligations and restrictions contained in this Agreement and be maintained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s document retention policies and procedures, and (y) the Receiving Party will not use the retained Confidential Information for any other purpose.

           (f)           Remedies.  Each of the parties hereto agree that an actual or threatened breach of this Section by it 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, each 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 such party at law or in equity.

           Section 7.02.           Safeguarding Personally Identifiable Information.

           (a)           Definition.  Personally Identifiable Information, or PII, means information in any format about an identifiable individual, including, name, address, phone number, e-mail address, account number(s), identification number(s), any other actual or assigned attribute associated with or identifiable to an individual and any information that when used separately or in combination with other information could identify an individual, as further described in § 501(b) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information (12 C.F.R. Section 208, Appendix D2), that is provided or made available to the Asset Representations Reviewer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

           (b)           Use of PII.  The Servicer does not grant the Asset Representations Reviewer any rights to PII except as provided in this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will use PII only to perform its obligations under this Agreement or as specifically directed in writing by the Servicer and will only reproduce PII to the extent necessary for these purposes.  The Asset Representations Reviewer must comply with all laws applicable to PII and the Asset Representations Reviewer’s business, including any legally required codes of conduct, including those relating to privacy, security and data protection.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will protect and secure PII.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will implement privacy or data protection policies and procedures that comply with applicable law and this Agreement.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate practices, procedures and systems, including administrative, technical and physical safeguards to 

19

(i) protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of PII, (ii) ensure against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of PII, (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of PII and (iv) otherwise comply with its obligations under this Agreement. These safeguards include a written data security plan, employee training, information access controls, restricted disclosures, systems protections (e.g., intrusion protection, data storage protection and data transmission protection) and physical security measures.

           (c)           Additional Limitations.  In addition to the use and protection requirements described in Section 7.02(b), the Asset Representations Reviewer’s disclosure of PII is also subject to the following requirements:

           (i)           The Asset Representations Reviewer will not disclose PII to its personnel or allow its personnel access to PII except (A) for the Asset Representations Reviewer personnel who require PII to perform a Review, (B) with the prior consent of the Servicer or (C) as required by applicable law. When permitted, the disclosure of or access to PII will be limited to the specific information necessary for the individual to complete the assigned task. The Asset Representations Reviewer will inform personnel with access to PII of the confidentiality requirements in this Agreement and train its personnel with access to PII on the proper use and protection of PII.

           (ii)           The Asset Representations Reviewer will not sell, disclose, provide or exchange PII with or to any third party without the prior consent of the Servicer.

           (d)           Notice of Breach. The Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer promptly in the event of an actual or reasonably suspected security breach, unauthorized access, misappropriation or other compromise of the security, confidentiality or integrity of PII and, where applicable, immediately take action to prevent any further breach.

           (e)           Return or Disposal of PII.  Except where return or disposal is prohibited by applicable law, promptly on the earlier of the completion of the Review or the request of the Servicer, all PII in any medium in the Asset Representations Reviewer’s possession or under its control will be (i) destroyed in a manner that prevents its recovery or restoration or (ii) if so directed by the Servicer, returned to the Servicer without the Asset Representations Reviewer retaining any actual or recoverable copies, in both cases, without charge to the Servicer. Where the Asset Representations Reviewer retains PII, the Asset Representations Reviewer will limit the Asset Representations Reviewer’s further use or disclosure of PII to that required by applicable law.

           (f)           Compliance; Modification. The Asset Representations Reviewer will cooperate with and provide information to the Servicer regarding the Asset Representations Reviewer’s compliance with this Section 7.02.  The Asset Representations Reviewer and the Servicer agree to modify this Section 7.02 as necessary for either party to comply with applicable law.

           (g)           Audit of Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will permit the Servicer and its authorized representatives to audit the Asset Representations Reviewer’s compliance with this Section 7.02 during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s 

20

normal business hours on reasonable advance notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer, and not more than once during any year unless circumstances necessitate additional audits. The Servicer agrees to make reasonable efforts to schedule any audit described in this Section 7.02 with the inspections described in Section 5.06. The Asset Representations Reviewer will also permit the Servicer during normal business hours on reasonable advance written notice to audit any service providers used by the Asset Representations Reviewer to fulfill the Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this Agreement.

           (h)           Affiliates and Third Parties. If the Asset Representations Reviewer processes the PII of the Servicer’s Affiliates or a third party when performing a Review, and if such Affiliate or third party is identified to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such Affiliate or third party is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.02, and this Agreement is intended to benefit the Affiliate or third party. The Affiliate or third party may enforce the PII related terms of this Section 7.02 against the Asset Representations Reviewer as if each were a signatory to this Agreement.

           (i)           Breach.  In the event of any actual or apparent theft, unauthorized use or disclosure of any Personally Identifiable Information, the Asset Representations Reviewer will commence all reasonable efforts to investigate and correct the causes and remediate the results thereof, and as soon as practicable following discovery of any such event, provide the Transferor, BANA and the Servicer notice thereof, and such further information and assistance as may be reasonably requested.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 2.01.           Dispute Resolution.

(a)           If any Receivable is subject to repurchase pursuant to any of the BACCS RPA Repurchase Obligations or any of the MBNA/FIA PSA Repurchase Obligations, which repurchase is not resolved in accordance with the terms of the agreement under which such repurchase obligation arose, within 180 days after notice is delivered to BANA under the terms of such applicable agreement, the party requesting repurchase of such Receivable (the “Requesting Party”) will have the right to refer the matter, at its discretion, to either third-party mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration pursuant to this Section 2.01 and BANA is hereby deemed to consent to the selected resolution method.  At the end of the 180‐day period described above, the Representing Party (as defined below) may provide notice informing the Requesting Party of the status of its request or, in the absence of any such notice, the Requesting Party may presume that its request remains unresolved.  The Requesting Party will provide written notice of its intention to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration to BANA as the party responsible for such repurchase (in such capacity, the “Representing Party”), within 30 calendar days following such 180th day.  The Representing Party agrees to participate in the resolution method selected by the Requesting Party.

(b)           If the Requesting Party selects mediation as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:

(i)           The mediation will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures in effect on the date of this Agreement (the “Rules”); provided, that if any of the Rules are inconsistent with the procedures for the mediation or arbitration stated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the procedures in such applicable document will control. 

6

(ii)           The mediator must be a Qualified Dispute Resolution Professional.  Upon being supplied a list, by the AAA, of at least ten potential mediators that are each Qualified Dispute Resolution Professionals, each of the Requesting Party and the Representing Party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within 14 days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference.  The AAA will select the mediator from the remaining potential mediators on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)           Each of the Requesting Party and the Representing Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to begin the mediation within [__] Business Days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within [__] days of the start of the mediation.

(iv)           The fees and expenses of the mediation will be allocated as mutually agreed by the Requesting Party and the Representing Party as part of the mediation.

(v)           A failure by the Requesting Party and the Representing Party to resolve a disputed matter through mediation shall not preclude either party from seeking a resolution of such matter through the initiation of a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to subsection 2.01(d) below.

(c)           If the Requesting Party selects arbitration as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:

(i)           The arbitration will be held in accordance with the United States Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any choice of law provision in this Agreement, and under the auspices of the AAA and in accordance with the Rules.

(ii)           If the repurchase request specified in subsection 2.01(a) involves the repurchase of an aggregate amount of Receivables of less than $[__________], a single arbitrator will be used.  That arbitrator must be a Qualified Dispute Resolution Professional.  Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential arbitrators that are each Qualified Dispute Resolutions Professionals by the AAA, each of the Requesting Party and the Representing Party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within [__] days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order of preference.  The AAA will select the arbitrator from the remaining potential arbitrators on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)           If the repurchase request specified in subsection 2.01(a) involves the repurchase of an aggregate amount of Receivables equal to or in excess of $[__________], a three-arbitrator panel will be used.  The arbitral panel will consist of three Qualified Dispute Resolution Professionals, (A) one to be appointed by the Requesting Party within five Business Days of providing notice to the Representing Party of its selection of arbitration, (B) one to be appointed by the Representing Party within five Business Days of the Requesting Party’s appointment of an arbitrator, and (C) the  

7

third, who will preside over the arbitral panel, to be chosen by the two party-appointed arbitrators within five Business Days of the Representing Party’s appointment.  If any party fails to appoint an arbitrator or the two party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third within the relevant time periods, then the appointments will be made by the AAA pursuant to the Rules.

(iv)           Each arbitrator selected for any arbitration will abide by the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes in effect as of the date of this Agreement.  Prior to accepting an appointment, each arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule. Any arbitrator selected may be removed by the AAA for cause consisting of actual bias, conflict of interest or other serious potential for conflict.

(v)           The Requesting Party and the Representing Party each agree that it is their intention that after consulting with the parties, the arbitrator or arbitral panel, as applicable, will devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within [__] days after appointment of the arbitrator or arbitral panel, as applicable.  The arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, will have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with Delaware law then in effect (including prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so on the motion of any party to the arbitration.  Notwithstanding any other discovery that may be available under the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party to the arbitration will be limited to the following discovery in the arbitration:

(A)           Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, the Requesting Party and the Representing Party will, upon the written request of the other party, promptly provide the other with copies of documents relevant to the issues raised by any claim or counterclaim on which the producing party may rely in support of or in opposition to the claim or defense.

(B)           At the request of a party, the arbitrator or arbitral panel, as applicable, shall have the discretion to order examination by deposition of witnesses to the extent the arbitrator or arbitral panel deems such additional discovery relevant and appropriate.  Depositions shall be limited to a maximum of three (3) per party and shall be held within thirty (30) calendar days of the making of a request.  Additional depositions may be scheduled only with the permission of the arbitrator or arbitral panel, and for good cause shown.  Each deposition shall be limited to a maximum of three (3) hours’ duration.  All objections are reserved for the arbitration hearing except for objections based on privilege and proprietary or confidential information. 

8

(C)           Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrator or arbitral panel, which determination shall be conclusive.

(D)           All discovery shall be completed within sixty (60) calendar days following the appointment of the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable; provided, that the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, will have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.

(vi)           The Requesting Party and the Representing Party each agree that it is their intention that the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, will resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and may not modify or change this Agreement in any way.  The arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted.  The Requesting Party and the Representing Party each agree that it is their intention that in its final determination, the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, must be consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 3.04, and will determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties as determined by the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, in its reasonable discretion.  The determination of the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties.  The determination of the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, may be reconsidered once by the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, upon the motion and at the expense of either party.  Following that single reconsideration, the determination of the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, will be final and non-appealable and may be entered in and may be enforced in, any court of competent jurisdiction.

(vii)           By selecting arbitration, the Requesting Party is giving up the right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

(viii)           No Person may bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration.

(d)           The following provisions will apply to both mediations and arbitrations:

(i)               Any mediation or arbitration will be held in Wilmington, Delaware.

(ii)           Notwithstanding this dispute resolution provision, the parties will have the right to seek provisional or ancillary relief from a competent court of law, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or attachment order, provided such relief would otherwise be available by law.  

9

(iii)           The details and/or existence of any unfulfilled repurchase request specified in subsection 2.01(a) above, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to informally resolve an unfulfilled repurchase request, and any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding; provided, however, that any discovery taken in any arbitration will be admissible in that particular arbitration.  Such information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or discussed with any third party (excluding a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with the related resolution procedure), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order.  If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient will promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.01 to the contrary, any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration pursuant to subsection 2.01(c) above will be admissible in such arbitration.
