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.

 

(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.

 

    5

     

    

 

 

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.

ARTICLE Three

 

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.

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, 2021, an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer (which the Administrator shall make
available to each Rating Agency pursuant to Section 1.02(c) of the Administration Agreement), stating that (i) a
review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period ended March 31 (or, if applicable, such shorter

such officer’s supervision, 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, 2021, 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 to
the Issuer and the Administrator that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance made by the Servicer and delivered
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;

 

(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;

 

    10

     

    

 

(iv)          use
its best efforts to cause each Subservicer and Subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be a “servicer” within the
meaning of Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator
a statement of compliance as and when provided in Section 3.11(a); and

 

(v)           deliver
to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator and any other Person that will be responsible for signing the certification
(a “Sarbanes Certification”) required by Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act (pursuant
to Section 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].

 

    11

     

    

 

Section 3.15.     Reports
to Securityholders and Rating Agencies.

may require such Securityholder or Note Owner to pay a reasonable sum to cover the cost of the Trustee’s complying with such
request.

 

(b)           The
Servicer shall forward to the Administrator a copy of each (i) Servicer’s Certificate, (ii) annual statement as
to compliance described in Section 3.11(a), (iii) Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer described in Section 3.11(b),

to each Rating Agency in accordance with Section 1.02(c) of the Administration Agreement.

 

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.

 

(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.

 

    12

     

    

 

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)
(i) notify the Issuer and the Administrator in writing of any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against
the Servicer or any Subservicer and (ii) provide to the Issuer and the Administrator a description of such proceedings.

 

(b)           As
a condition to the succession to the Servicer or any Subservicer as servicer or subservicer under this Agreement by any Person
(i) into which the Servicer or such Subservicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor
to 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, all information reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrator, acting on behalf
of the Issuer, in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to any class of
asset-backed securities.

 

(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
regarding the performance or servicing of the Receivables as is reasonably required to facilitate preparation of distribution reports

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.

 

(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.

 

    15

     

    

 

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.
On each Deposit Date, the Servicer will deposit into the Collection Account an amount equal to all Advances to be made, at its
option, in respect of the related Collection Period.

 

    16

     

    

 

(b)           The
Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Outstanding Advances, without interest, with respect to a Receivable from the following
sources with respect to such Receivable: (i) subsequent payments made by or on behalf of the related Obligor, (ii) Liquidation
Proceeds, (iii) the Administrative Purchase Payment and (iv) the Warranty Purchase Payment.

 

(c)           To
the extent that during any Collection Period any funds described above in Section 4.04(b) with respect to a Receivable
as to which the Servicer previously has made an unreimbursed Advance are received by the Issuer or the Servicer, and the Servicer
determines that any Outstanding Advances (other than in respect of an interest shortfall due to an Excess Payment) with respect
to such Receivable are unlikely to be recovered from payments made on or with respect to such Receivable (each, a “Nonrecoverable
Advance”), then, on the related Payment Date, upon the Trustees’ receipt of the Servicer’s Certificate for such
Nonrecoverable Advance, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly remit to the Servicer from the Collection Account, (i) from
Available Interest an amount equal to the portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance allocable to interest and (ii) from Available
Principal an amount equal to the portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance allocable to principal, in each case without interest,
in accordance with Section 4.06(c)(i). In lieu of causing the Indenture Trustee to remit any such amounts or the amounts
described in clauses (i) through (iv) in Section 4.04(b), the Servicer may deduct such amounts
from deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.09.

 

Section 4.05.     Additional
Deposits.

 

(a)           The
following additional deposits shall be made to the Collection Account one (1) day prior to each Payment Date: (i) the
RPA Seller shall remit the aggregate Warranty Purchase Payments with respect to Warranty Receivables pursuant to Section 2.04
and (ii) the Servicer shall remit (A) any extension fee charged in connection with the extension of a Receivable pursuant
to Section 3.02, (B) the aggregate Advances pursuant to Section 4.04(a), (C) the aggregate Administrative
Purchase Payments with respect to Administrative Receivables pursuant to Section 3.08, and (D) the amount required
upon the optional purchase of all Receivables by the Servicer or any successor to the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01.

 

(b)           [Reserved]

 

(c)            All
deposits required to be made in respect of a Collection Period pursuant to this Section by the Seller or the Servicer, as
the case may be, may be made in the form of a single deposit and shall be made in immediately available funds, on the related Deposit
Date.

misfeasance or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard
of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

 

For purposes of this Section, in the event
of the termination of the rights and obligations of AHFC (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 6.03) as Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.01, or a resignation by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed
to be the Servicer pending appointment of a Successor Servicer (other than the Indenture Trustee) pursuant to Section 7.02.
For the avoidance of doubt, AHFC shall not be liable for any claims described in the first sentence of this Section which
relate to a date or period on or after the date on which AHFC is terminated or removed as the Servicer or which are cause by a
successor servicer.

 

(b)            Indemnification
under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Indenture Trustee,
as the case may be, or the termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses
of litigation. If the Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf

shall be under any liability to the Issuer or any Securityholder, except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken
or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however,
that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith
on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this
Agreement.

 

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental
to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense
or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary
or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement
and the other Basic Documents and the interests of the Certificateholders under this Agreement and the Noteholders under the Indenture.
The legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Issuer.

 

Section 6.05.     AHFC
Not to Resign as Servicer. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, AHFC shall not resign from the obligations
and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon a determination that the performance of its duties
under this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation
of AHFC shall be communicated to the Trustees at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall
be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
to such effect delivered to the Trustees concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation shall become effective
until the Indenture Trustee or a Successor Servicer shall have (i) assumed the responsibilities and obligations of AHFC in
accordance with Section 7.02 and (ii) become the Administrator pursuant to Section 1.09 of the Administration
Agreement.

SERVICER
DEFAULTS

 

Section 7.01.    Servicer
Defaults. If any one of the following events (each, a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing there shall
be a Servicer Default:

 

(a)      any
failure by the Servicer to deliver to the related Trustee for deposit in any of the Accounts or the Certificate Distribution Account
any required payment or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make any required distributions therefrom, which failure continues unremedied
for a period of five (5) Business Days after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer or after the date on
which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given (i) to the Servicer by the
related Trustee or (ii) to the Servicer and to the Trustees by the Noteholders, evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes;

 

    26

     

    

 

(b)     failure
by the Servicer duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth
in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of Certificateholders
or Noteholders and (ii) continue unremedied for a period of ninety (90) days after the date on which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given (A) to the Servicer by the related Trustee or (B) to
the Servicer, and to the related Trustee by the Noteholders, evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;
or

 

(c)      the
occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer;

 

provided, however, that (A) if any delay
or failure of performance referred to in clause (a) above shall have been caused by Force Majeure or other similar occurrences,
the five (5) Business Day grace period referred to in such clause (a) shall be extended for an additional sixty (60)
days and (B) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in clause (b) above shall have been caused by Force Majeure
or other similar occurrences, the ninety (90) day grace period referred to in such clause (b) shall be extended for an additional
sixty (60) days.

 

If a Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
either the Noteholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or the Indenture Trustee, at the request
or direction of the Noteholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (or, if the Notes have been
paid in full and the Indenture has been discharged in accordance with its terms, by holders of Certificates evidencing not less
than 25% of the Percentage Interests), by notice then given in writing to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee (and to the Indenture
Trustee if given by the Noteholders) may terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 6.02
that accrued on or prior to the effective date of the termination) of the Servicer under this Agreement.

 

On or after the date specified in such written
notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates or the
Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer
as may be appointed under Section 7.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, for the benefit of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,
any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents,
or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer and the Trustees in effecting the termination
of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the Successor Servicer
for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or have been
deposited by the predecessor Servicer, in the Accounts or the Certificate Distribution Account or thereafter received with respect
to the Receivables that shall at that time by held by the predecessor Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including servicer
conversion costs and attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to the Successor Servicer
and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor
Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Any costs or expenses incurred in connection
with a Servicer Default shall constitute an expense of administration under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any
other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy laws. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Indenture
Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Administrator, and in accordance with Section 1.02(c) of the Administration
Agreement, the Administrator shall make such notice available to each Rating Agency.

 

    27

     

    

 

Section 7.02.     Appointment
of Successor Servicer.

 

(a)            Upon
the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or the Servicer’s resignation
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
of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (i) the date forty-five (45)
days from the delivery to the Trustees of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer,
as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer’s termination
hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer, and the Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment (including
its appointment as Administrator under the Administration Agreement as set forth in Section 7.02(b)) by a written assumption
in form acceptable to the Trustees. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor
Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically
be appointed the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Total Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding
the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be legally unable or unwilling so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint any established institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business
shall include the servicing of automobile receivables (including light-duty trucks), as the successor to the Servicer under this
Agreement. In no event shall the Successor Servicer be liable for the acts or omissions of any predecessor Servicer.

 

(b)            Upon
appointment, the Successor Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee acting as Successor Servicer) shall (i) be the successor
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
to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (ii) become the Administrator pursuant to Section 1.09
of the Administration Agreement.

 

Section 7.03.     Notification
of Servicer Termination. Upon any termination of, or appointment 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).

 

    28

     

    

 

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 7.05.     Repayment
of Advances. If a Successor Servicer replaces the Servicer, the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to receive reimbursement
for all outstanding Advances made by the predecessor Servicer.

pursuant to this Agreement. Upon termination of the Trust Estate, AHFC may (1) file UCC termination statements and (2) cancel

are then held by anyone other than the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, this Agreement may only be amended by the Seller and
the Servicer if, in addition, (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 Seller or

the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the Issuer and has
been pledged to the Indenture Trustee. Indication of the Issuer’s and the Indenture Trustee’s interest in a Receivable

(a)           Any
term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Sponsor, the Administrator, the Issuer and the Depositor without the

    11

     

    

 

provided, that in the event that any Trust Certificates
are then held by anyone other than the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, this Agreement may only be amended 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

(b)            This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Sponsor, the Administrator and the Depositor, without the consent of the

(d)            Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment, the Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment
to the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Securityholders pursuant to this
