      ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW PROCESS

       

      Section 3.01.  Review Notices and Identification of Review Assets.  On receipt of a Review Notice from the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Indenture, the Asset
        Representations Reviewer will start a Review.  Once a Review Notice has been issued, the Servicer will provide the list of Review Assets to the Asset Representations Reviewer within ten Business Days.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be
        obligated to start a Review until a Review Notice and the related list of Review Assets is received.  The Asset Representations Reviewer is not obligated to verify (i) whether the Indenture Trustee properly determined that a Review Notice was
        required or (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the list of Review Assets provided by the Servicer.

       

      
        3

        
          

      

      
        Section 3.02.  Review Materials.

      

       

      

      (a)          Access to Review Materials.  Within 60 days of the delivery of a Review Notice, the Servicer will provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with access to the Review Materials for all Review Assets
        in one or more of the following ways: (i) by providing access to the Servicer’s 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 or (iv) in another manner agreed by 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.  Once a Review Notice has been issued, the Servicer will provide the list of Review Assets to the Asset Representations Reviewer within ten Business Days.  The
        Asset Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to start a Review until a Review Notice and the related list of Review Assets is received.  The Asset Representations Reviewer is not obligated to verify (i) whether the Indenture Trustee
        properly determined that a Review Notice was required or (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the list of Review Assets provided by the Servicer.

       

      (b)          Missing or Insufficient Review Materials.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will review the Review Materials to determine if any Review Materials are missing or insufficient for the Asset
        Representations Reviewer to perform any Test.  If the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that any Review Materials are missing or insufficient, the Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer promptly, and in any event no less
        than 30 days before completing the Review.  The Servicer will have 60 days to give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the missing Review Materials or other documents or information to correct the insufficiency.  If the missing Review
        Materials or other documents have not been provided by the Servicer within 60 days, the related Review Report will report a Test Fail for each Test that requires use of the missing or insufficient Review Materials.

       

      Section 3.03.  Performance of Reviews.

       

      (a)          Test Procedures.  For a Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform, for each Review Asset, the Tests for each Eligible Representation.  In the course of its review, the Asset
        Representations Reviewer will use the Review Materials listed in Schedule A.  For each Test and Review Asset, 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”).

       

      (b)          Review Period.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Review within 60 days of receiving access to the Review Materials.  If, however, additional Review Materials are provided to the
        Asset Representations Reviewer as described in Section 3.02(b), the Review period will be extended for an additional 30 days.

       

      (c)          Completion of Review for Certain Review Assets.  Following the delivery of the list of the Review Assets and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the
        Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a Review Asset has been paid in full by the Obligor or purchased from the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.  On receipt of such notice, the Asset
        Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of the related Review Asset and the Review of such Review Assets will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”).  In this case, the related Review Report will indicate a Test Complete
        for such Review Asset and the related reason.

       

      

      
        4

        
          

      

      (d)          Duplicative Tests.  If the same Test is required for more than one representation and warranty, the Asset Representations Reviewer will only perform the Test once for each Review Asset, but will
        report the results of the Test for each applicable representation and warranty on the Review Report.

       

      (e)          Termination of Review.  If a Review is in process and the Notes will be paid in full on the next Payment Date, the Servicer will notify the Asset Representations Reviewer no less than five days
        before that Payment Date.  On receipt of such notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Review immediately and will not be obligated to deliver a Review Report.

       

      Section 3.04.  Review Report.  Within five Business Days after the end of the applicable Review period under Section 3.03(b), the Asset Representations Reviewer will deliver to the
        Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee a Review Report.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that the Review Report does not contain any Personally Identifiable Information.  On reasonable request of the Servicer, the Asset
        Representations Reviewer will provide additional details on the Test results.

       

      Section 3.05.  Review Representatives.

       

      (a)          Servicer Representative.  The Servicer will designate one or more representatives who will be available to assist the Asset Representations Reviewer in performing the Review, including responding to
        requests and answering questions from the Asset Representations Reviewer about access to Review Materials on the Servicer’s originations, receivables or other systems, obtaining missing or insufficient Review Materials and/or providing
        clarification of any Review Materials or Tests.

       

      (b)          Asset Representations Review Representative.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will designate one or more representatives who will be available to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator
        during the performance of a Review.

       

      (c)          Questions About Review.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will make appropriate personnel available to respond in writing to written questions or requests for clarification of any Review Report
        from the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the Notes and (ii) one year after the delivery of the Review Report.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to respond to questions or
        requests for clarification from Noteholders or any other Person and will direct such Persons to submit written questions or requests to the Servicer.

       

      Section 3.06.  Dispute Resolution.  If a Review Asset that was the subject of a Review becomes the subject of a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 3.17 of the Sale and
        Servicing Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer will participate in the dispute resolution proceeding on request of a party to the proceeding.  The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer for its
        participation in any dispute resolution proceeding will be considered expenses of the requesting party for the dispute resolution and will be paid, in the case of (i) an arbitration, by a party to the dispute resolution as determined by the
        arbitrator for the dispute resolution, and (ii) a mediation, as the parties shall mutually determine, in each case according to Section 3.17 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.  If not paid by a party to the dispute resolution, the expenses will
        be reimbursed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.03(d).

        the conduct of its activities requires the qualification, license or approval, unless the failure to obtain the qualifications, licenses or approvals would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Asset Representations
        Reviewer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

       

      (b)          Power, Authority and Enforceability.  The Asset Representations Reviewer has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.  The

        Reviewer except as may be limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equitable principles.

       

      
        6

        
          

      

      (c)          No Conflicts and No Violation.  The completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the performance of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under
        this Agreement will not (i) conflict with, or be a breach or default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar document under which the Asset Representations Reviewer is a debtor or guarantor, (ii) result
        in the creation or imposition of a Lien on the properties or assets of the Asset Representations Reviewer under the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar document, (iii) violate the organizational

        Reviewer or its properties that applies to the Asset Representations Reviewer, which, in each case, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Asset Representations Reviewer’s ability to perform its obligations under this
        Agreement.

       

      (d)          No Proceedings.  To the Asset Representations Reviewer’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or threatened in writing before a Governmental Authority
        having jurisdiction over the Asset Representations Reviewer or its properties (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii) seeking any
        determination or ruling that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Asset Representations Reviewer’s ability to perform its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement.

       

      (e)          Eligibility.  The Asset Representations Reviewer meets the eligibility requirements in Section 5.01.

       

      Section 4.02.  Covenants.  The Asset Representations Reviewer covenants and agrees that:

       

      (a)          Eligibility.  It will notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly if it no longer meets, or reasonably expects that it will no longer meet, the eligibility requirements in Section
        5.01.

       

      (b)          Review Systems; Personnel.  It will maintain business process management and/or other systems necessary to ensure that it can perform each Test and, on execution of this
        Agreement, will load each Test into these systems.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that these systems allow for each Review Asset and the related Review Materials to be individually tracked and stored as contemplated by this
        Agreement.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain adequate staff that is properly trained to conduct Reviews as required by this Agreement.

       

      
        7

        
          

      

      (c)          Maintenance of Review Materials.  It will maintain copies of any Review Materials, Review Reports and other documents relating to a Review, including internal correspondence and
        work papers, for a period of at least two years after any termination of this Agreement.

       

      Section 4.03.  Fees and Expenses.

       

      (a)          Annual Fee.  As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to receive an annual fee (the “Annual Fee”) with respect to each Annual Period prior
        to the termination of the Issuer, in an amount equal to $[●].  The Annual Fee will be paid by the Issuer on the Closing Date and on each anniversary of the Closing Date until this Agreement is terminated; provided, however, that if the Asset
        Representations Reviewer resigns or is removed in accordance with Section 5.02, then the Asset Representations Reviewer shall refund to the Issuer a portion of the Annual Fee attributable to the portion of the annual period during which the Asset
        Representations Reviewer will no longer act as the Asset Representations Reviewer, assuming for purposes of such calculation that the Annual Fee for each day during the annual period is an amount equal to the Annual Fee divided by 365.

       

      (b)          Review Fee.  Following the completion of a Review and the delivery of the related Review Report pursuant to Section 3.04, or the termination of a Review according to Section 3.03(e), and the
        delivery to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer of a detailed invoice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be entitled to a fee of $[●] for each Review Asset for which the Review was started (the “Review Fee”), payable by the Issuer.  No
        Review Fee will, however, be charged for any Review Asset which was included in a prior Review or for which no Tests were completed prior to the Asset Representations Reviewer being notified of a termination of the Review according to Section
        3.03(c) or due to missing or insufficient Review Materials under Section 3.02(b).  If the detailed invoice is submitted on or before the first day of a month, the Review Fee will be paid by the Issuer according to the priority of payments in the
        Indenture on the Payment Date in that month.  However, if a Review is terminated according to Section 3.03(e), the Asset Representations Reviewer must submit its invoice for the Review Fee for the terminated Review no later than ten Business Days
        before the final Payment Date to be reimbursed on such final Payment Date.

       

      (c)          Reimbursement of Travel Expenses.  If the Servicer provides access to the Review Materials at one of its properties, the Issuer will reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer for its reasonable
        travel expenses incurred in connection with the Review upon receipt of a detailed invoice.

       

      (d)          Dispute Resolution Expenses.  If the Asset Representations Reviewer participates in a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 3.07 and its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for participating in
        the proceeding are not paid by a party to the dispute resolution within 90 days after the end of the proceeding, the Issuer will reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer for such expenses upon receipt of a detailed invoice.

       

      
        8

        
          

      

      (e)          Payment of Invoices.  When applicable pursuant to this Section, the fees and expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer are to be paid via the priority of payments described in Section 2.08 of
        the Indenture.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will issue invoices to the Issuer at the notices addresses set forth in Section 11.04 of the Indenture and Issuer shall pay all invoices submitted by the Asset Representations Reviewer no later
        than the Payment Date relating to the Collection Period that includes the 30th day following the receipt by the Issuer, in accordance with the priority of payments described in Section 2.08 of the Indenture.  The Administrator shall promptly pay to
        the Asset Representations Reviewer the amount of any fees, expenses and indemnification amounts not otherwise paid or reimbursed by the Issuer on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Section 2.08 of the Indenture; provided, that the
        Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly reimburse the Administrator for any such amounts to the extent it subsequently receives payment or reimbursement in respect thereof from the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.08 of the Indenture, as
        applicable.  For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate limit on the Asset Representations Reviewer fees, expenses and indemnities specified in Section 2.08 of the Indenture shall not apply to payments made or to be made by the Administrator to the
        Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to this subsection.

       

      Section 4.04.  Limitation on Liability.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be liable to any Person for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith under this Agreement or
        for errors in judgment.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will, however, be liable for its willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in performing its obligations under this Agreement, but in no event will it be liable for special, indirect or
        consequential losses or damages (including lost profit), even if it has been advised of the likelihood of the loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

       

      Section 4.05.  Indemnification by Asset Representations Reviewer.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will indemnify each of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator,
        the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents for all fees, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities, including any legal fees or expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the
        Asset Representations Reviewer’s indemnification or other obligations hereunder, resulting from the Asset Representations Reviewer’s (i) willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in performing its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) breach
        of any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement.  The Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this Section will survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination of the Issuer and the resignation or removal of the
        Asset Representations Reviewer.

       

      Section 4.06.  Indemnification of Asset Representations Reviewer.

       

      

      (a)          Indemnification.  The Issuer will, or will cause the Administrator to, indemnify each ARR Indemnified Person for all costs, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities resulting from the performance
        of its obligations under this Agreement (including the fees and expenses of defending itself against any loss, damage or liability), but excluding any cost, expense, loss, damage or liability resulting from the Asset Representations Reviewer’s (i)
        willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence or (ii) breach of any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement.

       

      
        9

        
          

      

      (b)          Proceedings.  Promptly on receipt by an ARR Indemnified Person of notice of a Proceeding against it, the ARR Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made under Section 4.06(a), notify the
        Issuer and the Administrator of the Proceeding.  The Issuer and the Administrator may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of a Proceeding at its expense.  If the Issuer or the Administrator notifies the ARR Indemnified Person of
        its intention to assume the defense of the Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the ARR Indemnified Person, and so long as the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator assumes the defense of the Proceeding in a manner reasonably
        satisfactory to the ARR Indemnified Person, the Issuer and the Administrator will not be liable for fees and expenses of counsel to the ARR Indemnified Person unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Issuer or the Administrator, as
        applicable, and an ARR Indemnified Person.  If there is a conflict, the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator will pay for the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel to the ARR Indemnified Person.  No settlement of a Proceeding may be
        made without the approval of the Issuer and the Administrator and the ARR Indemnified Person, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

       

      (c)          Survival of Obligations.  The Issuer’s and the Administrator’s obligations under this Section will survive the resignation or removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer and the termination of
        this Agreement.

       

      (d)          Repayment.  If the Issuer or the Administrator makes any payment under this Section and an ARR Indemnified Person later collects any of the amounts for which the payments were made to it from
        others, such ARR Indemnified Person will promptly repay the amounts to the Issuer or the Administrator, as applicable.

       

      Section 4.07.  Inspections of Asset Representations Reviewer.  The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that, with reasonable advance notice not more than once during any year, it
        will permit authorized representatives of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator, during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s normal business hours, to examine and review its books of account, records, reports and other documents and
        materials relating to (a) the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (b) payment of its fees and expenses for its performance of its obligations under this Agreement and (c) a claim made by it under this Agreement.  In addition, the
        Asset Representations Reviewer will permit the representatives of the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator to make copies and extracts of any of those documents and to discuss them with the Asset Representations Reviewer’s officers and
        employees.  Each of the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator will, and will cause its authorized representatives to, hold in confidence the foregoing information except if disclosure may be required by Applicable Law or if the Issuer, the
        Servicer or the Administrator reasonably determines that it is required to make the disclosure under this Agreement or the other Basic Documents.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain all relevant books, records, reports and other
        documents and materials for a period of at least two years after the termination of its obligations under this Agreement.

       

      Section 4.08.  Delegation of Obligations.  The Asset Representations Reviewer may not delegate or subcontract its obligations under this Agreement to any Person without the prior
        written consent of the Issuer and the Servicer.

        Section 4.09.  Confidential Information.

      

       

      

      (a)          Treatment.  The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees to hold and treat Confidential Information given to it under this Agreement in confidence and under the terms and conditions of this Section,
        and will implement and maintain safeguards to further assure the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.  The Confidential Information will not, without the prior written consent of the Issuer and the Servicer, be disclosed or used by any
        Information Recipient other than for the purposes of performing Reviews of Review Assets or performing its obligations under this Agreement.  The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that it will not, and will cause its Affiliates to not, (i)
        purchase or sell securities issued by the Servicer or its Affiliates or special purpose entities on the basis of Confidential Information or (ii) use the Confidential Information for the preparation of research reports, newsletters or other
        publications or similar communications.

       

      (b)          Protection.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will take reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of Confidential Information, including those
        measures that it takes to protect its own confidential information and not less than a reasonable standard of care.  The Asset Representations Reviewer acknowledges that Personally Identifiable Information is also subject to the additional
        requirements in Section 4.10.

       

      (c)          Disclosure.  If the Asset Representations Reviewer is required by Applicable Law to disclose part of the Confidential Information, it may disclose the Confidential Information.  However, before a
        required disclosure, the Asset Representations Reviewer, if permitted by Applicable Law, will use its reasonable efforts to provide the Issuer and the Servicer with notice of the requirement and will cooperate, at the Servicer’s expense, in the
        Issuer’s and the Servicer’s pursuit of a proper protective order or other relief for the disclosure of the Confidential Information.  If the Issuer and the Servicer are unable to obtain a protective order or other proper remedy by the date that the
        information is required to be disclosed, the Asset Representations Reviewer will disclose only that part of the Confidential Information that it is advised by its legal counsel it is legally required to disclose.

       

      (d)          Responsibility for Information Recipients.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will be responsible for a breach of this Section by its Information Recipients.

       

      (e)          Violation.  The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that a violation of this Agreement may cause irreparable injury to the Issuer and the Servicer and the Issuer and the Servicer may seek
        injunctive relief in addition to legal remedies.  If an action is initiated by the Issuer or the Servicer to enforce this Section, the prevailing party will be reimbursed for its fees and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred for
        the enforcement.

       

      Section 4.10.  Personally Identifiable Information.

       

      (a)          Use of Issuer PII.  The Issuer does not grant the Asset Representations Reviewer any rights to Issuer PII except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will use
        Issuer PII only to perform its obligations under this Agreement or as specifically directed in writing by the Issuer and will only reproduce Issuer PII to the extent necessary for these purposes.  The Asset Representations Reviewer must comply with
        all Applicable Law relating to PII, Issuer 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 Issuer 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 (i) protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Issuer PII, (ii) ensure against
        anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Issuer PII, (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of Issuer 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.

       

      
        11

        
          

      

      (b)          Additional Limitations.  In addition to the use and protection requirements described in Section 4.10(a), the Asset Representations Reviewer’s disclosure of Issuer PII is also subject to the
        following requirements:

       

      (i)          The Asset Representations Reviewer will not disclose Issuer PII to its personnel or allow its personnel access to Issuer PII except (A) for the Asset Representations Reviewer personnel
        who require Issuer PII to perform a Review, (B) with the prior consent of the Issuer or (C) as required by Applicable Law.  When permitted, the disclosure of or access to Issuer 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 Issuer PII of the confidentiality requirements in this Agreement and train its personnel with access to Issuer PII on the proper use
        and protection of Issuer PII.

       

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

       

      (c)          Notice of Breach.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Issuer, the Administrator and 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 Issuer PII and, where applicable, immediately take action to prevent any further breach.

       

      (d)          Return or Disposal of Issuer 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 Issuer, the
        Administrator or the Servicer, all Issuer 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 Issuer,
        returned to the Issuer without the Asset Representations Reviewer retaining any actual or recoverable copies, in both cases, without charge to the Issuer.  Where the Asset Representations Reviewer retains Issuer PII, the Asset Representations
        Reviewer will limit its further use or disclosure of Issuer PII to that required by Applicable Law.

       

      (e)          Compliance; Modification.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will cooperate with and provide information to the Issuer, the Administrator and the Servicer regarding the Asset Representations
        Reviewer’s compliance with this Section.  The Asset Representations Reviewer and the Issuer agree to modify this Section as necessary for either party to comply with Applicable Law.

       

      
        12

        
          

      

      (f)          Audit of Asset Representations Reviewer.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will permit the Issuer, the Administrator, the Servicer and their respective authorized representatives, to audit the
        Asset Representations Reviewer’s compliance with this Section during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s 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 Issuer, the Administrator and the Servicer agree to make reasonable efforts to schedule any audit described in this Section with the inspections described in Section 4.07.  The Asset Representations
        Reviewer will also permit the Issuer, the Administrator and the Servicer during normal business hours on reasonable advance notice to audit any service providers used by the Asset Representations Reviewer to fulfill its obligations under this
        Agreement.

       

      (g)          Affiliates and Third Parties.  If the Asset Representations Reviewer processes the PII of the Issuer’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, 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 against the Asset Representations Reviewer as if each were a signatory to this Agreement.

        hereto, (iv) [●] has not verified and has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations and warranties made by the Issuer in this Agreement and (v) under no circumstances shall [●] be personally liable for the

        (d)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Basic Documents to the contrary, the Administrator shall be
            responsible for promptly notifying the Owner Trustee in the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payments (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder as contemplated in Section 5.01(c) of the Trust Agreement.  Any
            such notice shall specify the amount of any withholding tax required to be withheld by the Owner Trustee pursuant to such provision.

        (h)          In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator may enter into
            transactions or otherwise deal with any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the terms of any such transactions or dealings shall be in accordance with any directions received from the Issuer and shall be, in the Administrator’s opinion,
            no less favorable to the Issuer than would be available from unaffiliated parties.

         

        (i)          With respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment of the Administrator are non‐ministerial, the Administrator shall not
            take any action unless within a reasonable time before the taking of such action, the Administrator shall have notified the Owner Trustee of the proposed action and the Owner Trustee shall not have withheld consent, which consent shall not be
            unreasonably withheld or delayed, or provided an alternative direction.  For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “non‐ministerial matters” shall include:

         

        (i)          the amendment of or any supplement to the Indenture;

        (v)         the appointment of successor Owner Trustees pursuant to the Trust Agreement; and

         

        (vi)        the removal of the Indenture Trustee.

         

        (j)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrator shall not be obligated to, and shall not, (i) make any payments to the Noteholders under the Basic Documents, (ii) take any
          other action that the Issuer directs the Administrator not to take on its behalf or (iii) take any other action which may be construed as having the effect of varying the investment of the Securityholders.

         

        (k)          The Administrator may enter into subservicing agreements with one or more subservicers for the performance of all or part of the Administrator’s duties hereunder.  References herein to actions taken or
          to be taken by the Administrator include actions taken or to be taken by a subservicer on behalf of the Administrator.  Each subservicing agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the
          Administrator and the subservicer have agreed.

         

        (l)           If requested by the Depositor for purposes of compliance with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, the Administrator will provide to the Depositor and the Servicer on or before March 31 of
          each year beginning March 31, 20[__], the servicing criteria assessment required to be filed in respect of the Issuer under the Exchange Act under Item 1122 of Regulation AB if periodic reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or any
          successor provision thereto, are required to be filed in respect of the Issuer and shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants, who may also render other services to the Administrator, the Servicer, the Seller or the Depositor,
          to deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer the attestation report that would be required to be filed in respect of the Issuer under the Exchange Act if periodic reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision
          thereto, were required to be filed in respect of the Issuer.  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.  In the event that an overall opinion cannot
          be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion.

         

        The Administrator and the Depositor acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this Section 1.02(l) is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and the related rules and
          regulations of the Commission.  The Depositor shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the
          Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.  The Administrator acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to
          interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel or otherwise, and the Administrator agrees to comply with all reasonable requests made by the
          Depositor in good faith for delivery of information and shall deliver to the Depositor all information and certifications reasonably required by the Depositor to comply with its Exchange Act reporting obligations, including with respect to any of
          its predecessors or successors. The obligations of the Administrator to provide such information shall survive the removal or termination of the Administrator as Administrator hereunder.

        Section 1.07.  No Joint Venture.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i)
          constitute the Administrator and either the Issuer or the Owner Trustee as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity, (ii) be construed to impose any liability as such on
          any of them or (iii) be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the others.

         

        Section 1.08.  Other Activities of Administrator.  Nothing herein shall prevent
          the Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from acting in a similar capacity as an administrator for any other Person, even though such Person may engage in business activities similar to
          those of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

        An amendment to this Agreement shall be deemed not to materially adversely affect the interests of any Securityholder if the Person requesting such amendment obtains and delivers to the Owner
          Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer to that effect and, with respect to the Notes, by satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such amendment.  Notwithstanding the

          and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other covenants, agreements, provisions and terms of this Agreement.

         

        Section 1.19.  Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee.

         

        (a)          Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that
            (i) this Agreement is executed and delivered by [●], not individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (ii) each of the representations, undertakings and
            agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as a personal representation, undertaking or agreement by the Owner Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer, (iii) nothing herein
            contained shall be construed as creating any liability on the Owner Trustee, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties
            hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, (iv) the Owner Trustee has not verified and has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations or warranties made by the Issuer
            hereunder and (v) under no circumstances shall the Owner Trustee be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant
            made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Agreement or any other related documents.  For all purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and
            entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles Six, Seven and Eight of the Trust Agreement.

         

        (b)          Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement has been executed by [●] solely in its capacity as
            Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, and in no event shall the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in any
            of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer.

         

        Section 1.20.  Third‐Party Beneficiary.  The Owner Trustee is a third‐party
          beneficiary to this Agreement and is entitled to the rights and benefits hereunder and may enforce the provisions hereof as if it were a party hereto.

         

        Section 1.21.  Successor Servicer and Administrator.  The Administrator shall
          undertake, as promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, to enforce the provisions of Section 7.02 of the Sale
          and Servicing Agreement with respect to the appointment of a successor Servicer.  Such successor Servicer shall, upon compliance with the second to last sentence of Section 7.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, become the successor
          Administrator hereunder, subject to Section 7.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that if the Indenture Trustee shall become such successor Administrator, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to perform any
          obligations or duties or conduct any activities as successor Administrator that would be prohibited by law and not within the banking and trust powers of the Indenture Trustee.  In such event, the Indenture Trustee may appoint a sub-administrator
          to perform such obligations and duties. Any transfer of servicing pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and related succession as Administrator hereunder shall not constitute an assumption by the related successor
          Administrator of any liability of the related outgoing Administrator arising out of any breach by such outgoing Administrator of such outgoing Administrator’s duties hereunder prior to such transfer.

            any time institute against, or join any Person in instituting against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation Proceedings, or other Proceedings under any Insolvency Law in connection with any
          obligations relating to any of the Basic Documents and agrees that it will not cooperate with or encourage others to file a bankruptcy petition against the Issuer during the same period.

        POWER OF ATTORNEY PURSUANT TO

         SECTION 1.02(c) OF ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

         

        KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that [●], a [national banking association],  not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee of Mercedes-Benz Auto Receivables Trust 20[__]-[_], a
          Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuer”), as grantor (in such capacity, the “Grantor”), does hereby appoint MBFS USA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MBFS USA”), as grantee (the “Grantee”), as its attorney-in-fact with full power of
          substitution and hereby authorizes and empowers the Grantee, in the name of and on behalf of the Grantor or the Issuer, to take the following actions from time to time with respect to the duties of MBFS USA, as administrator (in such capacity,
          the “Administrator”) under the administration agreement, dated as of [●], 20[__] (the “Administration Agreement”), among the Issuer, the Administrator, Daimler Retail Receivables LLC (“Daimler Retail Receivables”) and [●], for the purpose of
          executing on behalf of the Grantor or the Issuer all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions required pursuant to the Basic Documents.

         

        The Grantee is hereby empowered to do any and all lawful acts necessary or desirable to effect the performance of its duties as Administrator under the Administration Agreement and the Grantor
          hereby ratifies and confirms any and all lawful acts the Grantee shall undertake pursuant to and in conformity with this Power of Attorney.

         

        This Power of Attorney is revocable in whole or in part as to the powers herein granted upon notice by the Grantor.  If not earlier revoked, this Power of Attorney shall expire completely or, if
          so indicated, in part, upon the earlier of the (i) termination of the amended and restated trust agreement, dated as of [●], 20[__] (the “Trust Agreement”), between Daimler Retail Receivables, as depositor, and [●], as owner trustee, or (ii)
          termination of the Administration Agreement.  Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Trust Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the Administration Agreement, as the case
          may be.

         

        This Power of Attorney shall be created under and governed and construed under the internal laws of the State of New York.

         

        The Grantor executes this Power of Attorney with the intent to be legally bound hereby, and with the intent that such execution shall have the full dignity afforded by the accompanying witnessing
          and notarization and all lesser dignity resulting from the absence of such witnessing and notarization or any combination thereof.

          nothing in the Administration Agreement or herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on [●], individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained in the Administration Agreement or herein

          or any other related documents.

         

        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Power of Attorney does not, and is not intended to, and will not be construed to, grant any authority to the Grantee to (i) expand, increase,
          incur, or otherwise impose any duties, liabilities or obligations of or on the Owner Trustee, as trustee or in its individual capacity, or (ii) provide any guaranty, indemnity or property of the Owner Trustee, as trustee or in its individual
