        Financed Vehicles;

     

    (iii)        all proceeds from claims on any physical damage or theft insurance policies and extended warranties covering such Financed Vehicles and any proceeds of

    (vi)         the Collection Account, the Note Payment Account, the Reserve Fund and all amounts, securities, Financial Assets, investments and other property
        deposited in or credited to any of the foregoing and all proceeds thereof;

     

    (vii)        all rights of the Depositor, but none of the obligations, under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the First-Tier Assignment, including the right to
        require the Seller to repurchase Receivables from the Issuer;

     

    (viii)       the right to realize upon any property (including the right to receive future Net Liquidation Proceeds and Recoveries) that shall have secured a

      2

      
        

    

    (b)          The Depositor and the Issuer intend that the transfer of Trust Property contemplated by Section 2.01(a) constitute a sale of the Trust Property from the Depositor to the
        Issuer, conveying good title to the Trust Property free and clear of any Liens and, in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Depositor under any Insolvency Law, that the Trust Property shall not be part of the
        Depositor’s estate.  In the event, however, that any such transfer is deemed to be a pledge, the Depositor hereby grants to the Issuer a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under such
        Trust Property, and all proceeds thereof, to secure the payment of the Notes and accrued interest thereon and all other amounts owing under the Basic Documents and in such event, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under Applicable
        Law.

     

    (c)          The sales, transfers, assignments and conveyances of Trust Property made under this Section shall not constitute, and is not intended to result in, an assumption by the
        Issuer of any obligation of the Depositor or the Seller to the Obligors or any other Person in connection with the Receivables and the other Trust Property or any obligation of the Depositor or the Seller under any agreement, document or instrument
        related thereto.

     

    Section 2.02.  Representations and Warranties of the Seller as to the Receivables.  The Seller has made, in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, each of the
      representations and warranties as to the Receivables set forth in Exhibit A.  The Issuer shall be deemed to have relied on such representations and warranties in accepting the Receivables.  Such representations and warranties speak as of the date of
      execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent otherwise provided, but shall survive the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Receivables to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and the pledge
      of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.  Pursuant to Section 2.01(a), the Depositor has sold, transferred, assigned and otherwise conveyed to the Issuer, as part of the Trust Property, its rights under the Receivables
      Purchase Agreement, including its right to require the Seller to repurchase Receivables in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement upon a breach of such representations and warranties.

     

    The Seller hereby agrees that the Issuer shall have the right to enforce any and all rights of the Depositor under the Receivables Purchase Agreement assigned to the Issuer under this Agreement,
      including the right to require the Seller to repurchase Receivables in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement upon a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit A, directly against the Seller as though the Issuer
      were a party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and that the Issuer shall not be obligated to enforce any such right indirectly through the Depositor.

     

    
      3

      
        

    

    Section 2.03.  Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Receivables.  The Depositor makes the following representations and warranties as to the
      Receivables on which the Issuer shall be deemed to have relied in accepting the Receivables.  The representations and warranties speak as of the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent
      otherwise provided, but shall survive the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Receivables to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and the pledge of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

     

    (a)          Title.  The Depositor has purchased the Receivables from the Seller.  The Depositor intends that the transfer of the Receivables contemplated by Section 2.01 constitute a sale of
      the Receivables from the Depositor to the Issuer and that the beneficial interest in, and title to, the Receivables not be part of the Depositor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Depositor under any
      Insolvency Law.

     

    (b)          Security Interest Matters.  The Depositor has caused or will cause prior to the Closing Date the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing offices in the
      appropriate jurisdictions under Applicable Law necessary to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Issuer under this Agreement.  The security interest of the Seller in each Financed Vehicle has been validly assigned by the
      Depositor to the Issuer.

     

    (c)          Financing Statements.  All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Indenture Trustee (as assignee of the Issuer) contain a statement
      substantially to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee”.

     

    (d)          No Transfer Restrictions.  The Depositor has not created, incurred or suffered to exist any restriction on transferability of the Receivables except for the restrictions on
      transferability imposed by this Agreement.  The transfer of the Receivables and the Receivable Files by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement is not subject to the bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in
      any applicable jurisdiction.

     

    Section 2.04.  Representations and Warranties as to Security Interests.  The Depositor makes the following representations and warranties as to the Receivables on which
      the Issuer shall be deemed to have relied in accepting the Receivables.  The representations and warranties speak as of the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent otherwise provided, but
      shall survive the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Receivables to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and the pledge of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

     

    (a)          This Agreement creates a valid and continuing “security interest” (as defined in the applicable 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 Depositor.

     

    
      4

      
        

    

    (b)          The Depositor has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against the Obligor in the Financed Vehicles.

     

    (c)          The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

     

    (d)          The Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

     

    (e)          All original executed copies of each loan agreement and installment sales contract that constitute or evidence of those Receivables that are “tangible chattel paper” have been delivered to
      the Servicer, as custodian for the Issuer.

     

    (f)          The Depositor has not communicated an authoritative copy of any Receivable that constitutes “electronic chattel paper” to any Person other than the Servicer, as custodian for the Issuer.

     

    (g)          The Depositor has received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer is holding the loan agreements and installment sales contracts that constitute or evidence the
      Receivables solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Issuer.

     

    (h)          Other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or
      otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables.  The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing
      statement relating to the security interest granted to the Issuer hereunder or that has been terminated.  The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Depositor.

     

    (i)          None of the loan agreements or installment sales contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables has any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned, or
      otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Issuer.

     

    Section 2.05.  Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach.

     

    (a)          Investigation of Breach.  If an Authorized
        Officer of the Seller (i) has knowledge of a breach of a representation or warranty made in Exhibit A of this Agreement, (ii) receives notice from the Issuer or either Trustee of a breach of any such representation or warranty, (iii) receives a
        Repurchase Request from a Note Owner, a Noteholder or either Trustee for a Receivable or (iv) receives a Review Report that indicates a Test Fail for a Receivable, the Seller will investigate the related Receivable to confirm the breach and
        determine if the breach has a material adverse effect on the interests of the Issuer or Noteholders in such Receivable.  None of the Servicer, the Issuer, either Trustee, the Administrator or the Asset Representations Reviewer will have an
        obligation to investigate whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred or whether any Receivable is required to be repurchased under this Section.

     

    
      5

      
        

    

    (b)          Repurchase of Receivables; Payment of Purchase Price.  If a breach of a representation or warranty made in Exhibit A of this Agreement has a material adverse effect on the interests of the Issuer or Noteholders in a Receivable, and if such breach shall not have been cured by the close of
        business on the last day of the Collection Period which includes the 30th day after the date on which the Seller becomes aware of, or receives written notice from the Depositor, the Servicer, either Trustee, a Note Owner or a Noteholder of, such
        breach, the Seller shall repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer as of the close of business on the last day of such Collection Period by paying the Purchase Amount to the Issuer on the Deposit Date related to such Collection Period.

     

    (c)          Sale and Assignment of Repurchased Receivable. 
        When the Purchase Amount is included in Available Collections for a Payment Date, the Issuer will, without further action, be deemed to have sold and assigned to the Seller, effective as of the last day of the Collection Period before the related
        Collection Period, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in the related Receivable repurchased by the Seller under this Section and all security and documents relating to such Receivable.  The sale will not require any action by the Issuer
        and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Issuer except the representation that the Issuer owns such Receivable free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.  In connection with the sale, the Servicer may take any
        action necessary or advisable to evidence the sale of such Receivable, free from any Lien of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

     

    (d)          Repurchase Sole Remedy.  Subject to the
        provisions of Section 3.17, the sole remedy of the Issuer, the Trustees, the Note Owners and the Noteholders with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Exhibit A shall be to require the Seller to repurchase the related
        Receivable pursuant to this Section and Section 3.04 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.  Neither 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 this Section or the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes of this Agreement.

     

    Section 2.06.  Custody of Receivable Files.

     

    (a)          To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer hereby revocably appoints the Servicer as its agent, and the Servicer
        hereby accepts such appointment, to act as custodian, on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, of the following documents or instruments which are hereby constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Trust Property
        pursuant to the Indenture with respect to each Receivable (collectively, a “Receivable File”):

     

    (i)          the fully executed original of the Receivable;

     

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

     

    (iii)        documents evidencing the commitment of the related Obligor to maintain physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle; and

     

    
      6

      
        

    

    (iv)        any and all other documents (including any computer file or disc or microfiche) that the Seller or the Servicer shall keep on file, in accordance with
        its customary practices and procedures, relating to the Receivable, the related Obligor or the related Financed Vehicle.

     

    (b)          On the Closing Date, the Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee confirming that the Servicer has received, on behalf of the
        Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, all the documents and instruments necessary for the Servicer to act as the agent of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for the purposes set forth in this Section, including the documents referred to herein, and
        the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee are hereby authorized to rely on such Officer’s Certificate.

     

    Section 2.07.  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
        the Indenture Trustee and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable the Servicer and the Issuer to comply with this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee to comply
        with the Indenture.  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 files of comparable motor vehicle installment sales contracts
        and installment loans that the Servicer services for itself or others.  The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, in accordance with its customary practices and procedures, 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 as it relates to the Receivables.  The Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustees any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and to 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 Trustees, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustees shall be
        liable or responsible for any action or failure to act by the Servicer in its capacity as custodian hereunder.

     

    (b)          Maintenance of and Access to Records.  The Servicer shall maintain each Receivable File at one of the locations specified
        in Schedule A or at such other location as shall be specified to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer from time to time.  The Servicer may temporarily move individual Receivable Files or any portion thereof without notice as
        necessary to conduct collection and other servicing activities in accordance with its customary practices and procedures.  The Servicer shall make available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or its duly authorized representatives, attorneys
        or auditors a list of locations of the Receivables, the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal business hours as the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall
        reasonably request.

     

    (c)          Release of Documents.  As soon as practicable after receiving written instructions 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 reasonably designate.  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 so doing.

     

    
      7

      
        

    

    (d)          Title to Receivables.  The Servicer shall not at any time have, or in any way attempt to assert, any interest in any
        Receivable held by it as custodian hereunder or in the related Receivable File, other than for collecting or enforcing such Receivable for the benefit of the Issuer.  The entire equitable interest in such Receivable and the related Receivable File
        shall at all times be vested in the Issuer.

     

    Section 2.08.  Instructions; Authority to Act.  The Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of
      written instructions signed by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee.  A certified copy of excerpts of authorizing resolutions of the board of directors of the Indenture Trustee shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of any
      such Responsible Officer to act and shall be considered in full force and effect until receipt by the Servicer of written notice to the contrary given by the Indenture Trustee.

     

    Section 2.09.  Indemnification by Custodian.  The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian of the Receivable Files, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the
      Trustees and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all Expenses that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the Issuer, the Trustees and each of their respective officers, directors,
      employees and agents 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, including any Expenses incurred by the relevant party in connection with the
      enforcement of the Servicer’s indemnification or other obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any portion of any such Expenses resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of either
      Trustee.

     

    Section 2.10.  Effective Period and Termination.  The Servicer’s appointment as custodian 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 under Section 6.05, or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 7.01, the appointment of the Servicer
      as custodian hereunder may be terminated by (i) the Issuer, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, (ii) Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Notes or, if the Notes have been paid in full, by Certificateholders
      evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interests then outstanding or (iii) the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Notes, in each case by notice
      then given in writing to the Depositor and the Servicer (with a copy to the Trustees if given by the Noteholders or the Certificateholders).  As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall deliver, or cause to be
      delivered, the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place as the Indenture Trustee
      may reasonably designate or, if the Notes have been paid in full, at such place as the Owner Trustee may reasonably designate.

    ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE TRUST PROPERTY

     

    Section 3.01.  Duties of Servicer.  The Servicer, acting alone or through one or more subservicers to the extent permitted hereunder, for the benefit of the Issuer, shall
      manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care but in no event less than the care that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable motor vehicle installment sales contracts and installment loans
      that it services for itself or others.  The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors or by Governmental Authorities with respect to the Receivables, investigating delinquencies,
      sending payment coupons and 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 Indenture
      Trustee with respect to distributions, providing collection and repossession services in the event of an Obligor default, generating United States federal income tax information and performing the other duties specified herein.  The Servicer shall
      have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable, it being understood, however, that the Servicer shall at all times remain
      responsible to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder.  Subject to the foregoing and to Section 3.02, the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures in
      performing its duties hereunder as Servicer.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall be authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, 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 Proceeding to enforce a Receivable pursuant to Section 3.04 or to commence or participate in a
      Proceeding (including a bankruptcy Proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, including a Defaulted Receivable.  If the Servicer commences or participates in such a 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 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 shall, at the Servicer’s expense and written direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in the Servicer’s or the Issuer’s name or the name
      of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders or any of them.

     

    
      9

      
        

    

    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.  The Servicer, at its expense, shall obtain on behalf of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee all licenses, if any, required by the laws of any jurisdiction to be held by
      the Issuer or the Owner Trustee in connection with ownership of the Receivables and shall make all filings and pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith during the term of this Agreement.  The Servicer shall, or shall cause the
      Administrator to, prepare, execute and deliver all certificates or other documents required to be delivered by the Issuer pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

     

    Section 3.02.  Delegation of Duties; Subservicers.

     

    (a)          So long as MBFS USA, or the Indenture Trustee, as Successor Servicer, is the Servicer, the Servicer may without notice or consent delegate (i) any or all of its duties
        under this Agreement to any Affiliate of MBFS USA (or in the case of the Indenture Trustee as Successor Servicer, any Affiliate of the Indenture Trustee) or (ii) specific duties to sub-contractors who are in the business of performing such duties.

     

    (b)          The Servicer may enter into subservicing or sub-contracting agreements in accordance with Section 3.02(a) with one or more subservicers for the servicing and administration
        of any or all of the Receivables.  References in this Agreement or any subservicing or sub-contracting agreement to actions taken, or to be taken, permitted to be taken or restrictions on actions permitted to be taken, by the Servicer in servicing
        the Receivables shall include actions taken, or to be taken, permitted to be taken or restrictions on actions permitted to be taken, by a subservicer on behalf of the Servicer.  Each subservicing or sub-contracting agreement will be upon such terms
        and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and the standard of care set forth herein and as the Servicer and the related subservicer have agreed.  All compensation payable to a subservicer under a subservicing or sub-contracting
        agreement shall be payable by the Servicer from its servicing compensation or otherwise from its own funds.

     

    (c)          Notwithstanding any subservicing or sub-contracting agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or any arrangements between the Servicer or
        a subservicer or any reference to actions taken through such entities or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the servicing and administering of the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement without diminution of such
        obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing or sub-contracting agreements.

     

    (d)          Any subservicing or sub-contracting agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or servicing arrangements relating to or involving a subservicer shall be
        deemed to be between the subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the other parties hereto and the Administrator shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the subservicer.

     

    
      10

      
        

    

    Section 3.03.  Collection of Receivable Payments; Modification of Receivables.  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 otherwise act with respect to the Receivables and the other Trust Property in such manner as will, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize the amount to be
      received by the Issuer with respect thereto and in accordance with the standard of care required by Section 3.01.  The Servicer shall allocate collections on or in respect of the Receivables between principal and interest in accordance with the
      Simple Interest Method and the customary servicing practices and procedures it follows with respect to all comparable motor vehicle installment sales contracts and installment loans that it services for itself or others.  The Servicer shall not
      increase or decrease the number or amount of any Monthly Payment, except in response to a prepayment by the related Obligor, the Amount Financed under any Receivable or, except as may be required by Applicable Law, the APR of any Receivable, or
      extend, rewrite or otherwise modify the payment terms of any Receivable; provided, however, that the Servicer may extend the due date for one or more payments due on any Receivable for credit-related reasons that would be acceptable to the Servicer
      with respect to comparable motor vehicle installment sales contracts and installment loans that it services for itself or others and in accordance with its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures if the cumulative extensions with
      respect to any Receivable shall not cause the term of such Receivable to extend beyond the last day of the Collection Period immediately preceding the Class A‐4 Final Scheduled Payment Date.  If the Servicer fails to comply with the provisions of the
      preceding sentence, the Servicer shall be required to purchase each Receivable affected thereby for the related Purchase Amount as of the close of business on the last day of the Collection Period that includes the 30th day after the Servicer becomes aware of such failure, by making such deposit in the manner specified in Section 3.08 on the Deposit Date immediately following such Collection Period.  The
      Servicer may, in its discretion (but only in accordance with its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures), waive any late payment charge or any other fee that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable.  In
      addition, in the event that any such extension of a Receivable modifies the terms of such Receivable in such a manner as to constitute a cancellation of such Receivable and the creation of a new motor vehicle receivable that results in a deemed
      exchange thereof within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 3.08, and the Receivable created shall not be included in the Trust Property.

     

    Section 3.04.  Realization Upon Receivables.

     

    (a)          The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts on behalf of the Issuer, in accordance with the standard of care required under Section 3.01, to repossess or
        otherwise convert the ownership of each Financed Vehicle securing a Defaulted Receivable.  In taking such action, the Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing
        of comparable motor vehicle installment sales contracts and installment loans, and as are otherwise consistent with the standard of care required under Section 3.01.  The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it
        with respect to realizing on a Defaulted Receivable, including such expenses incurred in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds.  The foregoing is subject to the proviso that, in any case in which the
        Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair or repossession shall
        increase the Net Liquidation Proceeds or Recoveries of the related Receivable.

     

    
      11

      
        

    

    (b)          If the Servicer elects to commence a Proceeding to enforce a Dealer Agreement, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment from the Issuer to the
        Servicer of the rights of recourse under such Dealer Agreement.  If, however, in any Proceeding, it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Dealer Agreement on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a Person entitled to enforce
        the Dealer Agreement, the Owner Trustee, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, shall take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Dealer Agreement, including bringing suit in its name or the names of the Indenture Trustee, the
        Securityholders or any of them.

     

    Section 3.05.  Maintenance of Physical Damage Insurance Policies.  The Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures to determine
      whether or not each Obligor shall have maintained physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle.  Each Receivable shall provide that the failure by the Obligor to obtain and maintain the required insurance is a default thereunder. 
      The Servicer shall not obtain force-placed insurance in respect of the Receivables.

     

    Section 3.06.  Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.  The Servicer shall take such steps, in accordance with the standard of care required under Section
      3.01, as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle.  The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby agrees, to take such steps as are necessary to
      re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event the Servicer receives notice of, or otherwise has actual knowledge of, the fact that such security interest is not perfected as a result 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.  The Servicer shall not release, in whole or in part, any security interest in a Financed Vehicle created by the related Receivable
      except as permitted herein or in accordance with its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures.

     

    Section 3.07.  Covenants of Servicer.  The Servicer makes the following covenants:

     

    (a)          Liens in Force.  Except upon the payment in full of a Receivable or as otherwise contemplated by this
        Agreement or Applicable Law, 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 not impair in any material respect the rights of the Depositor, the
        Issuer, the Trustees or the Securityholders in the Receivables or, except as permitted under Section 3.03, otherwise amend or alter the terms of the Receivables if as a result of such amendment or modification or alteration, the interests of the
        Depositor, the Issuer, the Trustees or the Securityholders would be materially adversely affected.

     

    
      12

      
        

    

    (c)          Schedule of Receivables to Indenture Trustee.  The Servicer shall on or before the Closing Date (and, at
        any time thereafter, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee) deliver to the Indenture Trustee a copy of the Schedule of Receivables, which may be delivered in electronic format.

     

    Section 3.08.  Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach.  The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to
      this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of Section 3.03, 3.06 or 3.07.  If such breach shall not have been cured by the close of business on the last day of the Collection Period which includes
      the 30th day after the date on which the Servicer becomes aware of, or receives written notice from the Depositor, the Seller or the Owner Trustee of, such breach, and
      such breach materially and adversely affects the interest of the Issuer in a Receivable, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable from the Issuer, as of the close of business on the last day of the related Collection Period, by remitting the
      Purchase Amount of such Receivable to the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 4.07 on the related Deposit Date.  When the Purchase Amount is included in Available Collections for a Payment Date, the Issuer will, without further
      action, be deemed to have sold and assigned to the Servicer, effective as of the last day of the Collection Period before the related Collection Period, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in the Receivable purchased by the Servicer under
      this Section and all security and documents relating to such Receivable.  The sale will not require any action by the Issuer and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Issuer except the representation that the Issuer owns such
      Receivable free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.  On the sale, the Servicer may take any action necessary or advisable to evidence the sale of such Receivable, free from any Lien of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.  The sole
      remedy of the Issuer, the Trustees and the Securityholders with respect to a breach of Section 3.03, 3.06 or 3.07 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section.  Neither Trustee shall have any duty to conduct an
      affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the purchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section.

     

    Section 3.09.  Servicing Compensation; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer.  The Servicer shall receive the Monthly Servicing Fee for servicing the Receivables.  As
      additional servicing compensation, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive or retain the Supplemental Servicing Fee.  The Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with the activities under this Agreement (including the
      Independent accountants and any subservicer, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Securityholders and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement to be for the
      account of the Securityholders), except expenses incurred in realizing upon Receivables under Section 3.04.

     

    Section 3.10.  Investor Report.

     

    (a)          On or before each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Seller and the Trustees, an Investor Report in respect of the related Collection
        Period and Payment Date and all information necessary for the Trustees, as applicable, to send (or provide access to via the internet) statements to Securityholders pursuant to Section 6.06 of the Indenture and Section 5.01(b) of the Trust
        Agreement.  The Servicer shall also specify to the Trustees, no later than the Determination Date following the last day of a Collection Period as of which the Seller shall separately identify (by account number), in a written notice to the
        Depositor and the Trustees, the Receivables to be repurchased by the Seller or purchased by the Servicer, as the case may be, on the related Deposit Date.

     

    
      13

      
        

    

    (b)          On or prior to the 15th day following each Payment Date, the Servicer will prepare a Form ABS-EE, including an asset data file and asset-related document containing the
        asset-level information for each Receivable for the prior Collection Period as required by Item 1A of Form 10-D.

     

    Section 3.11.  Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Servicer Termination Events.

     

    (a)          The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustees and the Rating Agencies, within 90 days of the end of each calendar year, an Officer’s Certificate of the
        Servicer, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period ended December 31 (or, if applicable, such shorter period as shall have elapsed since the Closing Date in the case of the first such
        Officer’s Certificate) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under 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 in all material respects throughout such period, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

     

    (b)          The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustees, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, an
        Officer’s Certificate specifying any event which constitutes or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, a Servicer Termination Event.

     

    Section 3.12.  Annual Accountants’ Report.

     

    (a)          The Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer or to the Depositor or their respective
        Affiliates) to deliver to the Depositor and, if required or requested, to the Trustees within 90 days of the end of each calendar year, a report with respect to the preceding 12-month period ended December 31 (or, if applicable, such shorter period
        as shall have elapsed since the Closing Date in the case of the first such report) or other report to the effect that such accountants have examined, on a test basis, evidence of the Servicer’s compliance with the covenants and conditions set forth
        in this Agreement.  The report will express an opinion on the Servicer’s assertion that the Servicer complied in all material respects with the aforementioned covenants and conditions is fairly stated, in all material respects or the reason why
        such an opinion cannot be expressed.  Such report shall also indicate that the firm is Independent with respect to the Depositor and the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public
        Accountants.  The requirement of this subparagraph shall apply only so long as the Depositor is required to file Exchange Act reports, or to the extent that Regulation AB otherwise requires, in each case with respect to the transaction contemplated
        by the Basic Documents.

     

    
      14

      
        

    

    (b)          Notwithstanding Section 3.12(a), within 90 days of the end of each calendar year, the Servicer shall deliver the report and attestation set forth in Sections 3.12(c) and
        (d) and the delivery of a copy of such report and attestation to the Depositor and the Trustees shall be deemed to satisfy the provisions of this Section.

     

    (c)          As and when required pursuant to Section 3.12(b), the Servicer will deliver to the Depositor and the Trustees a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance
        with the applicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB during the immediately preceding calendar year (or, if applicable, such shorter period as shall have elapsed since the Closing Date in the case of the first such
        report), in accordance with paragraph (b) of Rule 13a‐18 and Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.  Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer and shall address each of the servicing criteria
        specified in Part I of Schedule C hereto.

     

    (d)          The Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized Independent public accountants to furnish to the Depositor and the Trustees, concurrently with the report delivered
        pursuant to Section 3.12(c), an attestation report providing its assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria covered in such report during the preceding fiscal year, including disclosure of any material instance of non-compliance, as
        required by Rule 13a‐18 or Rule 15d-18 under the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB.  Any such attestation report 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,
        stating, among other things, that the Servicer’s assertion of compliance with the specified servicing criteria is fairly stated in all material respects, or the reason why such an opinion cannot be expressed.  Such report must be available for
        general use and not contain restricted use language.

     

    Section 3.13.  Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables.  Subject to Section 2.07(b), the Servicer shall provide the Depositor and the
      Trustees with access to the Receivables Files in the cases where the related Trustee or the Securityholders are required by Applicable Law to have access to such documentation.  Such access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable
      request and during normal business hours which does not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations or customer or employee relations of the Servicer, at the offices of the Servicer.  Nothing in this Section shall affect 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 to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

     

    Section 3.14.  Reports to the Commission.  The Servicer shall, on behalf of the Issuer, cause to be filed with the Commission any periodic reports required to be filed
      under the provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.  The Depositor shall, at its expense, cooperate in any reasonable request made by the Servicer in connection with such filings.

     

    Section 3.15.  Reports to Rating Agencies.  The Servicer shall deliver to each Rating Agency, at such address as such Rating Agency may request, to the extent it is
      available to the Servicer, a copy of all reports or notices furnished or delivered pursuant to this Article and a copy of any amendments, supplements or modifications to this Agreement and any other information reasonably requested by such Rating
      Agency.

     

    
      15

      
        

    

    Section 3.16.  Asset Representations Review.

     

    (a)          If a Delinquency Trigger has occurred with respect to any Collection Period, the Servicer will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee
        thereof and include in the related Investor Report a notice of occurrence of the Delinquency Trigger and of the rights of the Noteholders and Note Owners pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Indenture regarding Review by the Asset Representations
        Reviewer.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge that any Repurchase Request remained unresolved for 180 days unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, or has received written notice, that
        such Repurchase Request in fact remained unresolved for 180 days.  The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation under the Indenture or otherwise to monitor repurchase activity or to independently determine which Repurchase Requests remain
        unresolved after 180 days.

     

    (b)          Upon receipt of notice from the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Indenture regarding the demand by the Noteholders
          or the Note Owners to initiate a vote on whether a Review shall be conducted by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer will include in the related Investor Report to be filed with the Form 10-D report for the Collection Period in which
          such demand was received (i) a statement that Noteholders and Note Owners of a sufficient percentage of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes are requesting a full Noteholder vote on whether to direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to
          conduct a Review and (ii) a description of the applicable voting procedures, including the applicable voting deadline, which shall be no earlier than 150 days after the date of the filing of such Form 10-D report.

     

    (c)          Upon receipt of the Review Notice from the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Indenture, the Servicer shall (i)
        identify as “Review Assets” within the meaning of the Asset Representations Review Agreement all Receivables that are 60 days or more Delinquent (but are not Defaulted Receivables), (ii) provide to the Asset Representations Reviewer a list of such Review Assets in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Asset Representations Review Agreement, (iii) provide such
        other reasonable assistance to the Asset Representations Reviewer as it may reasonably request in order to facilitate the Review pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement and (iv) include in the Form 10-D report for the Collection
        Period in which the Review Notice was received that the Noteholders and Note Owners of a majority of the Note Balance of Outstanding Notes voted to agree to a Review and a Review will be conducted.

     

    (d)          Upon receipt of a copy of the Review Report from the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the Asset Representations Review
          Agreement, the Servicer will include in the Investor Report to be filed with the Form 10-D report for the Collection Period in which such Review Report was received a summary of the results of the Review set forth in such Review Report.

     

    (e)          Upon receipt of a copy of the Review Report, the Servicer (i) will review such Review Report and, with respect to any Receivable as
          to which the Review Report indicated a Test Fail, make a determination for each Test Fail whether a breach of a representation and warranty that materially and adversely affects the interest of the Issuer in the related Receivable has occurred
          and (ii) may, or if it determines that such a breach has occurred, shall deposit the related Payment Amount with respect to such Receivable in accordance with Section 3.08.

     

    
      16

      
        

    

    (f)          If during any Collection Period the Servicer receives notice or has actual knowledge that the Asset Representations Reviewer has
          resigned or has been removed, replaced or substituted, or if a successor Asset Representations Reviewer has been appointed, the Servicer will include in the related Form 10-D report the date of such event and a general statement of the
          circumstances surrounding the change.

     

    Section 3.17.  Dispute Resolution.

     

    (a)          Referral to Dispute Resolution.  If any
        Requesting Party makes a Repurchase Request, and the Repurchase Request has not fulfilled or otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Requesting Party within 180 days of the Depositor’s or Seller’s receipt thereof, the Requesting Party may refer the matter, in its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding third-party
        arbitration.  The Requesting Party must commence the mediation or arbitration proceeding according to the ADR Rules of the ADR Organization, in each case within 90 days after the end of such 180-day period.  The Depositor and the Seller agree to
        participate in the dispute resolution method selected by the Requesting Party.  In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be a Requesting Party or pursue dispute resolution unless it is directed to do so by
        the Noteholders or Note Owners of at least 5.0% of the Note Balance of the Notes, and such Noteholders or Note Owners shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the reasonable costs, expenses,
        disbursements, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its agents and its counsel in compliance with such direction.

     

    (b)          Mediation.  If the Requesting Party selects mediation (including non-binding arbitration) for dispute resolution:

     

    (i)           The mediation will be administered by the ADR Organization using its ADR Rules.  If, however, any
          ADR Rules are inconsistent with the procedures for mediation in this Section, the procedures in this Section will control.

     

    (ii)         A single mediator will be selected by the ADR Organization from a list of neutrals maintained by it
          according to the ADR Rules.  The mediator must be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation and, if possible, consumer finance or asset-backed
          securitization matters.

     

    (iii)        The mediation will start within 15 days after the selection of the mediator and conclude within 30
          days after the start of the mediation.

     

    (iv)         Expenses of the mediation will be allocated to the parties as mutually agreed by them as part of the
          mediation.

     

    
      17

      
        

    

    (v)          If the parties fail to agree at the completion of the mediation, the Requesting Party may refer the
          Repurchase Request to arbitration under this Section.

     

    (c)          Arbitration.  If the Requesting Party selects binding arbitration for dispute resolution:

     

    (i)           The arbitration will be administered by the ADR Organization using its ADR Rules.  If, however, any ADR Rules are inconsistent with the procedures for arbitration stated in this Section, the procedures in this Section will control.

     

    (ii)          A single arbitrator will be selected by the ADR Organization from a list of neutrals maintained by
          it according to the ADR Rules.  The arbitrator must be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation and, if possible, consumer finance or asset-backed
          securitization matters.  The arbitrator will be independent and impartial and will comply with the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes in effect at the time of the arbitration.  Before accepting an appointment, the arbitrator
          must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the proceedings within the stated time schedule.  The arbitrator may be removed by the ADR
          Organization for cause consisting of actual bias, conflict of interest or other serious potential for conflict.

     

    (iii)        The arbitrator will have the authority to schedule, hear and determine any motions, according to New
          York law, and will do so at the motion of any party.  Discovery will be scheduled for completion within 60 days of selection of the arbitrator and will be limited for each party to two witness depositions not to exceed five hours, two
          interrogatories, one document request and one request for admissions.  The arbitrator, however, may grant additional discovery on a showing of good cause that the additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.  Briefs may not exceed ten pages
          each, and will be limited to initial statements of the case, motions and a pre-hearing brief.  The evidentiary hearing on the merits will start no later than 90 days after selection of the arbitrator and will proceed for no more than 10 Business
          Days with equal time allocated to each party for the presentation of evidence and cross examination.  The arbitrator may allow additional time for discovery and hearings on a showing of good cause or due to unavoidable delays.

     

    (iv)         The arbitrator will make its final determination no later than 120 days after its selection.  The
          arbitrator will resolve the dispute according to the terms of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, and may not in any way modify or change this Agreement or the other Basic Documents.  The arbitrator will not have the power to award
          punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration.  In its final determination, the arbitrator will determine and award the expenses of the arbitration (including filing fees, the fees of the arbitrator, expenses of any record or
          transcript of the arbitration and administrative fees) to the parties in its reasonable discretion.  The determination of the arbitrator will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties.  The determination will
          be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under United States federal or State law, and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

     

    
      18

      
        

    

    (v)          By selecting binding arbitration, the Requesting Party waives the right to bring an action in court,
          including the right to a trial by jury.

     

    (vi)         The Requesting Party may not, and hereby waives any right, to bring a putative or certificated class action or any type of representative action to arbitration.  If this waiver of class action rights is found to be unenforceable for any reason, the Requesting Party agrees that it will bring its
        claims in a court of competent jurisdiction.

     

    (d)          Additional Conditions.  For each mediation or arbitration:

     

    (i)           Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New
        York, New York at the offices of the mediator or arbitrator or at another location selected by the Servicer.  Any party or witness may participate by teleconference or video conference.

     

    (ii)          The Seller, the Depositor and the Requesting Party will have the right to seek provisional relief
          from a competent court of law, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or attachment order, if such relief is available by law.

     

    (iii)         Neither the Seller

        not the Depositor shall be required to produce personally identifiable customer information for purposes of any mediation or arbitration.  The existence and details of any unresolved
        Repurchase Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings, the nature and amount of any relief sought or granted, any offers or statements made and any discovery taken in the proceeding, will be confidential, privileged and
        inadmissible for any purpose in any mediation, arbitration, litigation or other proceeding.  The parties will keep this information confidential and will not disclose
        or discuss it with any third party (other than a party's attorneys, experts, accountants and other advisors, as reasonably required in connection with the mediation or arbitration proceeding under this Section), except as required by Applicable
        Law.  If a party to a mediation or arbitration proceeding receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a Governmental Authority) for confidential information of the other party to the mediation or arbitration
        proceeding, the recipient will promptly notify the other party and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

     

    (iv)         To the extent the Indenture Trustee is found responsible for any expenses allocated to the Requesting Party in any dispute resolution proceeding, such
        expenses shall be payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 2.08 of the Indenture, and if not so paid, then by the Seller.

    STATEMENTS TO SECURITYHOLDERS

     

    Section 4.01.  Establishment of Accounts.

     

    (a)          MBFS USA (as Servicer hereunder) shall establish the following Accounts, on or before the Closing Date, and maintain each as an Eligible Deposit Account in the name of the
        Indenture Trustee (except that the Reserve Account shall be in the name of the Issuer), at the Securities Intermediary, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of:

     

    (i)          the Securityholders, designated as the “Mercedes-Benz Auto Receivables Trust 2020-1 Collection Account, U.S. Bank National Association, Indenture
        Trustee” (the “Collection Account”);

     

    (ii)         the Noteholders, designated as the “Mercedes-Benz Auto Receivables Trust 2020-1 Note Payment Account, U.S. Bank National Association, Indenture Trustee”
        (the “Note Payment Account”); and

     

    (iii)        the Issuer, which has been pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, designated as the “Mercedes-Benz Auto
        Receivables Trust 2020-1 Reserve Fund, U.S. Bank National Association, Indenture Trustee” (the “Reserve Fund”);

     

    in each case bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the related Persons.  The Accounts shall be under the control of the Securities Intermediary on behalf of the Indenture
      Trustee; provided, however, that the Servicer may direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make (or cause to be made) deposits to and withdrawals from the applicable Accounts in accordance with this Agreement and the other Basic Documents.  All
      monies deposited from time to time in the Accounts shall be held by, or in the name of, the Indenture Trustee as part of the Trust Property, and all deposits to and withdrawals therefrom shall be made only upon the terms and conditions of the Basic
      Documents.  Amounts on deposit in each Account shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be invested, as directed in writing by the Servicer, in Eligible Investments.  If, at any time, any of the Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit
      Account, the Servicer shall, as soon as commercially practicable but in any event within 60 calendar days, establish and maintain a new Eligible Deposit Account for such Account and for all cash and investments held in such Account.

     

    (b)          The Issuer and the Servicer agree that each institution, with which an Account is established, will agree substantially as follows:

     

    (i)           it will comply with Entitlement Orders related to such account issued by the Indenture Trustee, without further consent by the Servicer;

     

    
      20

      
        

    

    (ii)         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;

     

    (iii)        all Account Collateral delivered or credited to it in connection with such account and all proceeds thereof will be promptly credited to such Account;

     

    (iv)        it will treat all Account Collateral as Financial Assets; and

     

    (v)          all Account Collateral will be physically delivered (accompanied by any required endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name of, the
        institution maintaining the related Account in accordance with such institution’s customary procedures such that such institution establishes a Security Entitlement in favor of the Indenture Trustee with respect thereto over which the Indenture
        Trustee has Control.

     

    (c)          If on any Payment Date the sum of the amounts on deposit in the Collection Account for the related Collection Period and the Reserve Fund on such Payment Date equals or
        exceeds the Note Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all amounts due to the Servicer and the Trustees, all such amounts on deposit will be applied up to the amounts necessary to retire the Notes and pay such amounts due.

     

    Section 4.02.  Reserve Fund.

     

    (a)          On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deposit the Reserve Fund Deposit into the Reserve Fund from the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes.  The Reserve Fund Property
        has been conveyed by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01(a).  Pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer will pledge all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Reserve Fund and the Reserve Fund Property to the Indenture
        Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders to secure its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture.

     

    (b)          If the Reserve Fund is no longer to be maintained at the Securities Intermediary or the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall, with MBFS USA’s and the Indenture Trustee’s
        prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) and assistance as necessary, promptly (and in any case within ten Business Days) cause the Reserve Fund to be moved to another institution.  The Servicer shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies and
        the Trustees in writing of any change in the account number or location of the Reserve Fund.

     

    (c)          On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee will deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the Reserve Fund, from amounts collected on or in respect of the Receivables during
        the related Collection Period and not used on that Payment Date to pay the Required Payment Amount, the amount, if any, by which the Reserve Fund Required Amount for that Payment Date exceeds the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund on that
        Payment Date, after giving effect to all required withdrawals from the Reserve Fund on that Payment Date.

     

    (d)          On each Determination Date, the Servicer will determine the Reserve Fund Draw Amount, if any, for the related Payment Date.  If the Reserve Fund Draw Amount for any Payment
        Date is greater than zero, the Indenture Trustee will withdraw, or cause to be withdrawn, from the Reserve Fund, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund and the Reserve Fund Draw Amount, and transfer the amount
        withdrawn to the Collection Account on the Deposit Date; provided, however, that amounts released from the Reserve Account shall only be used in the manner permitted under §246.4(b)(3)(i) of Regulation RR, as determined solely by the Servicer.

     

    
      21

      
        

    

    (e)          If the Reserve Fund Amount for any Payment Date (after giving effect to the withdrawal of the Reserve Fund Draw Amount for such Payment Date and the distribution described
        in the preceding sentence) exceeds the Reserve Fund Required Amount for such Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee in writing to distribute or cause to be distributed on the related Deposit Date, the amount of such excess
        to the Collection Account for payment to the Depositor on such Payment Date.  Any amount paid to the Depositor will no longer constitute a portion of the Trust Property and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer hereby release, on each Payment Date,
        their security interest in, to and under the Reserve Fund Property distributed to the Depositor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, investment income for each Collection Period (net of losses and expenses) on amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund
        shall constitute Available Collections.

     

    (f)          If the Note Balance and all other amounts owing or to be distributed hereunder or under the Indenture to the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, the Trustees and the
        Servicer have been paid in full and the Issuer has been terminated, any remaining Reserve Fund Property shall be distributed to the Depositor.

     

    Section 4.03.  Monthly Remittance Condition.

     

    (a)          For so long as the Monthly Remittance Condition is (i) not met, the Servicer shall remit all amounts received on or in respect of the Receivables during any Collection
        Period to the Collection Account in immediately available funds no later than two Business Days after receipt and identification or (ii) met, the Servicer may remit all amounts received on or in respect of the Receivables during any Collection
        Period to the Collection Account in immediately available funds on or prior to the related Deposit Date.

     

    (b)          The Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account on or prior to the Closing Date all amounts received and identified by the Servicer on or in respect of the Receivables
        (including Net Liquidation Proceeds and all amounts received by the Servicer in connection with the repossession and sale of a Financed Vehicle (whether or not the related Receivable has been classified as a Defaulted Receivable)) during the period
        from but excluding the Cutoff Date to and including the second Business Day preceding the Closing Date.

     

    (c)          The Depositor and the Servicer may make any remittances pursuant to this Article with respect to a Collection Period net of distributions or reimbursements to be made to or
        by the Depositor or the Servicer with respect to such Collection Period; provided, however, that such obligations shall remain separate obligations, no party shall have a right of offset, and each such party shall account for all of the above
        described remittances and distributions as if the amounts were deposited or transferred separately.

     

    Section 4.04.  Collections.  Subject to Sections 4.03, 4.06 and 4.07(a), the Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account all amounts received by the Servicer on or in
      respect of the Receivables (including Net Liquidation Proceeds and all amounts received by the Servicer in connection with the repossession and sale of a Financed Vehicle (whether or not the related Receivable has been classified as a Defaulted
      Receivable) but excluding payments with respect to Purchased Receivables) as soon as practicable and in no event after the close of business on the second Business Day after such amounts have been received and identified.

     

    
      22

      
        

    

    Section 4.05.  Application of Collections.  For purposes of this Agreement, all amounts received on or in respect of a Receivable during any Collection Period (including
      Net Liquidation Proceeds and all amounts received by the Servicer in connection with the repossession and sale of a Financed Vehicle (whether or not the related Receivable has been classified as a Defaulted Receivable) but excluding payments with
      respect to Purchased Receivables) shall be applied by the Servicer to interest and principal on such Receivable in accordance with the Simple Interest Method.

     

    Section 4.06.  Advances.

     

    (a)          If, as of the end of any Collection Period, the payments received during such Collection Period by or on behalf of an Obligor in respect of a Receivable (other than a
        Purchased Receivable) shall be less than the related Monthly Payment, whether as a result of any extension granted to the Obligor or otherwise, then, at the option of the Servicer, an amount equal to the product of the Principal Balance of such
        Receivable as of the first day of the related 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”) may be deposited by the Servicer into
        the Collection Account on the related Deposit Date.  If such a calculation in respect of a Receivable 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 addition, in the event that a Receivable becomes a Defaulted 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, 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.  The Servicer shall not be required to make an Advance to
        the extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall determine that such Advance is likely to become a Nonrecoverable Advance.

     

    (b)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.06(a), the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for an outstanding Advance made in respect of a Receivable, without
        interest, from the following sources with respect to such Receivable: (i) subsequent payments made by or on behalf of the related Obligor, (ii) Net Liquidation Proceeds and Recoveries and (iii) the Purchase Amount.  If the Servicer determines that
        it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall reimburse itself, without interest, from unrelated amounts received by the Servicer on or in respect of the Receivables (including Net Liquidation Proceeds and all amounts received by the
        Servicer in connection with the repossession and sale of a Financed Vehicle (whether or not the related Receivable has been classified as a Defaulted Receivable)) to the extent it shall, concurrently with the withholding of any such amounts from
        deposit in or credit to the Collection Account, furnish to the Trustees a certificate of a Servicing Officer setting forth the basis for the Servicer’s determination, the amount of, and Receivable with respect to which, such Nonrecoverable Advance
        was made and the installment or installments or other proceeds respecting which such reimbursement has been taken.

     

    
      23

      
        

    

    Section 4.07.  Additional Deposits.

     

    (a)          The following additional deposits shall be made: (i) the Seller shall remit to the Collection Account the aggregate Purchase Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables
        pursuant to Section 2.05 or pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, (ii) the Servicer shall remit or cause to be remitted to the Collection Account (A) the aggregate Purchase Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables
        pursuant to Section 3.08 and (B) the amount required upon the optional purchase of all Receivables by the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 and (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall remit or shall cause to be remitted, pursuant to Section 4.02, the
        Reserve Fund Draw Amount to the Collection Account.

     

    (b)          All deposits required to be made in respect of a Collection Period pursuant to this Section by the Servicer may be made in the form of a single deposit and shall be made in
        immediately available funds, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Deposit Date.

     

    Section 4.08.  Determination Date Calculations; Application of Available Funds.

     

    (a)          On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the following amounts with respect to the related Payment Date and Collection Period:

     

    (i)          the Available Collections;

     

    (ii)         the Total Servicing Fee (including the amount of any Nonrecoverable Advances);

     

    (iii)        if not previously paid, the Total Trustee Fees and the Asset Representations Reviewer Fees;

     

    (iv)        the Interest Distributable Amount for each Class of Notes;

     

    (v)          the Priority Principal Distributable Amount;

     

    (vi)        the Regular Principal Distributable Amount; and

     

    (vii)       the sum of the amounts described in clauses (ii) through (v) above (the “Required Payment Amount”); provided, however, that so long as the Notes have not been accelerated in accordance with the Indenture following an Event of Default, the aggregate amount to be included in the Required Payment Amount pursuant to
        clause (iii) above shall not exceed $250,000 in any given calendar year; provided, further that the Required Payment Amount with respect to each Payment Date shall be reduced by any unreimbursed Advance and any amounts payable to the Servicer, so
        long as MBFS USA or any affiliate thereof is the Servicer.

     

    
      24

      
        

    

    On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Reserve Fund Amount, the Reserve Fund Required Amount, the Reserve Fund Draw Amount and the amount, if any, by which the Reserve Fund Required Amount exceeds
      the Reserve Fund Amount (after giving effect to any deposits to the Reserve Fund and the withdrawal of the Reserve Fund Draw Amount for such Payment Date).

     

    (b)          On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to apply (or cause to be applied) on the related Payment Date, the Available Funds for such
        Payment Date to make the related payments and deposits set forth in Section 2.08 of the Indenture.

     

    Section 4.09.  Statements to Securityholders.  Within the prescribed period of time for tax reporting purposes after the end of each calendar year during the term of the
      Issuer, but not later than the latest date permitted by Applicable Law, the Servicer shall cause each Trustee to mail to each Person who at any time during such calendar year shall have been a Securityholder, a statement, prepared by the Servicer,
      containing certain information for such calendar year or, in the event such Person shall have been a Securityholder during a portion of such calendar year, for the applicable portion of such year, for the purposes of such Securityholder’s preparation
      of United States federal income tax returns.  In addition, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustees for distribution to such Person at such time any other information necessary under Applicable Law for the preparation of such income tax returns.

    ARTICLE FIVE

     

    THE DEPOSITOR

     

    Section 5.01.  Representations and Warranties of Depositor.  The Depositor makes the following representations and warranties on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied
      in acquiring the Trust Property.  The representations and warranties speak as of the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, and shall survive the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Trust Property to
      the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

     

    (a)          Organization and Good Standing.  The Depositor has been duly organized and is validly existing as a
        limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted, and had
        at all relevant times, and has, power, authority and legal right to acquire, own and sell the Receivables.

     

    (b)          Due Qualification.  The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability
        company in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses and approvals would, in the reasonable judgment of the Depositor, materially and
        adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, the Depositor Basic Documents, the Receivables or the Securities.

     

    (c)          Power and Authority.  The Depositor has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
        obligations under the Depositor Basic Documents.  The Depositor has the power and authority to sell, assign, transfer and convey the property to be transferred to and deposited with the Issuer and has duly authorized such sale, assignment, transfer
        and conveyance by all necessary limited liability company action; and the execution, delivery and performance of the Depositor Basic Documents has been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary limited liability company action.

     

    (d)          Valid Sale; Binding Obligation.  This Agreement effects a valid sale, transfer, assignment and
        conveyance to the Issuer of the Receivables and the other Trust Property, enforceable against all creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.  Each Depositor Basic Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor
        enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting
        the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general, and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a Proceeding in equity or at law.

    (e)          No Violation.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of the Depositor Basic Documents
        and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof does not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice
        or lapse of time, or both) a default under, the certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement of the Depositor, or conflict with or violate any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time,
        or both) a default under, any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it shall be bound or to which any of its properties is subject; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of
        its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than this Agreement); nor violate any Applicable Law or, to the Depositor’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor or of
        Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties, which conflict, breach, default, Lien or violation would have a material adverse effect on the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under or the validity or
        enforceability of, the Depositor Basic Documents, the Receivables or the Securities.

     

    (f)          No Proceedings.  There are no Proceedings or investigations pending, or to the Depositor’s knowledge,
        threatened against the Depositor, before any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of any Basic Document or the Securities, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the
        Securities or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Depositor, would materially and adversely affect the performance by the
        Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, the Depositor Basic Documents, the Receivables or the Securities or (iv) relating to the Depositor and which might adversely affect the United States federal income tax
        attributes of the Issuer or the Securities.

        taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of the sale of the Receivables to the Issuer or the issuance and original sale of the Securities, or United States federal or State income taxes arising out of distributions on the Securities), and
        all costs and expenses in defending against such taxes including any Expenses incurred by the relevant party in connection with the enforcement of the Depositor’s indemnification or other obligations hereunder.

     

    (c)          The Depositor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Trustees and the Securityholders from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
        incurred by reason of the Depositor’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (other than errors in judgment) in the performance of its duties under the Depositor Basic Documents, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and
        duties under the Depositor Basic Documents, including any Expenses incurred by the relevant party in connection with the enforcement of the Depositor’s indemnification or other obligations hereunder.

        connection with the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties contained herein, in the Trust Agreement (in the case of the Owner Trustee) and in the Indenture (in the case of the Indenture Trustee), including any Expenses incurred by the
        relevant party in connection with the enforcement of the Depositor’s indemnification or other obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (i) shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or
        negligence of the related Trustee, (ii) in the case of (A) the Owner Trustee, shall arise from the breach by the Owner Trustee of any of its representations or warranties set forth in the Trust Agreement or (B) the Indenture Trustee, shall arise
        from the breach by the Indenture Trustee of any of its representations and warranties set forth in the Indenture or shall arise out of or be incurred in connection with the performance by the Indenture Trustee of the duties of a Successor Servicer
        hereunder, (iii) shall be one as to which the Servicer is required to indemnify either Trustee or (iv) relates to any tax other than the taxes with respect to which the Servicer shall be required to indemnify either Trustee.  The Depositor shall
        pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the Trust Property.

     

    (e)          Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, and the termination of this
        Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.  If the Depositor shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made
        thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Depositor, without interest.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Depositor shall only be required to pay (i)
        any fees, expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may incur under the Basic Documents from funds available pursuant to, and in accordance with, the payment priorities set forth in this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and (ii) to
        the extent the Depositor has additional funds available (other than funds described in clause (i) above) that would be in excess of amounts that would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of the Depositor in accordance with the
        Depositor’s certificate of formation, operating agreement and all financing documents to which the Depositor is a party.  The agreement set forth in the preceding sentence shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of
        the Bankruptcy Code.  In addition, no amount owing by the Depositor hereunder in excess of liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance with the preceding sentence shall constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy
        Code) against it.

      part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that (A) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustees an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession and
      such agreement of assumption comply with this Section, (B) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustees an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (1) all financing statements and continuation statements and
      amendments thereto have been authorized and filed that are necessary to fully preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior
      Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (2) no such action shall be necessary to fully preserve and protect such interest and (C) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
      contained herein, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (A), (B) and (C) above shall be conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

     

    Section 5.04.  Limitation on Liability of Depositor and Others.  The Depositor and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Depositor may rely in good faith on
      any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.   The Depositor shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be
      incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.  The indemnities contained in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Indenture Trustee or termination of this
      Agreement.

     

    Section 5.05.  Depositor Not to Resign.  Subject to the provisions of Section 5.03, the Depositor shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as
      Depositor hereunder.

      Securities with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Basic Document (including in the definition of the terms “Note Balance” and
      “Outstanding”).  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other Basic Documents (including in the definition of the terms “Note Balance” and “Outstanding”), Securities so owned by or pledged to the Depositor or such Affiliate shall
      have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, without preference, priority or distinction as among the Notes and the Certificates as the case may be.

    ARTICLE SIX

     

    THE SERVICER

     

    Section 6.01.  Representations and Warranties of Servicer.  The Servicer makes the following representations and warranties on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied
      in acquiring the Trust Property.  The representations and warranties speak as of the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, and shall survive the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Trust Property to
      the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:

     

    (a)          Organization and Good Standing.  The Servicer is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and continues to hold a
      valid certificate to do business as such.  It is duly authorized to own its properties and transact its business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or any properties owned or leased by
      it requires such authorization and in which the failure to be so authorized would have a material adverse effect on its business, properties, assets or condition (financial or other) and those of its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise.  The
      Servicer has, and at all relevant times had, the power, authority and legal right to service the Receivables and to hold the Receivable Files as custodian on behalf of the Issuer.

     

    (b)          Due Qualification.  The Servicer is duly qualified to do business in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction in which the failure to
      so qualify or to obtain such licenses and approvals would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, the Servicer Basic
      Documents, the Receivables or the Securities.

     

    (c)          Power and Authority.  The Servicer has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Servicer Basic Documents; and the execution, delivery and
      performance of the Servicer Basic Documents have been duly authorized by the Servicer by all necessary action.

     

    (d)          Binding Obligation.  Each Servicer Basic Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer, enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with its terms,
      except as enforceability may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general, and by general
      principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a Proceeding in equity or at law.

     

    (e)          No Violation.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of the Servicer Basic Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the
      fulfillment of their respective terms shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, the certificate of formation or limited
      liability company agreement of the Servicer, or any material indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Servicer is a party, by which the Servicer is bound or to which any of its properties are subject; or result
      in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument, other than the Servicer Basic Documents, or violate any law, order, rule or
      regulation applicable to the Servicer or its properties of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer or any of its properties.

     

    
      31

      
        

    

    (f)          No Proceedings.  There are no Proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Servicer, threatened, against the Servicer before any Governmental Authority having
      jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of any Basic Document, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Securities or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, (iii)
      seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, would materially and adversely affect the performance by it of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or the Receivables or
      (iv) seeking to adversely affect the United States federal income tax or other United States federal, State or local tax attributes of the Securities.

     

    Section 6.02.  Liability of Servicer; Indemnities.  The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by
      the Servicer under this Agreement.  Such obligations shall include the following:

     

    (a)          The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Trustees, the Securityholders and the Depositor from and against all losses,
        liabilities, claims, damages and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer of a Financed Vehicle, including any Expenses incurred by the relevant party in
        connection with enforcement of the Servicer’s indemnification or other obligations hereunder.

     

    (b)          The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Depositor and the Trustees from and against any taxes that may at any time be
        asserted against any such Person as a result of or relating to the transactions contemplated herein and in the other Basic Documents, including any sales, gross receipts, gross margin, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or
        license taxes (but not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the sale of the Receivables to the Issuer or the issuance and original sale of the Securities, or United States federal or State income taxes arising out of
        distributions on the Securities) and costs and expenses in defending against such taxes, including any Expenses incurred by the relevant party in connection with enforcement of the Servicer’s indemnification or other obligations hereunder.

     

    (c)          The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Trustees, the Securityholders and the Depositor from and against any loss,
        liability, claim, damage or expense incurred by reason of the Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties under the Servicer Basic Documents or by reason of a reckless disregard of its obligations and
        duties under the Servicer Basic Documents, including any Expenses incurred by the relevant party in connection with enforcement of the Servicer’s indemnification or other obligations hereunder.

     

    
      32

      
        

    

    (d)          The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustees and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all
        losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties herein and contained in the Trust Agreement (in the case of the Owner Trustee) and contained in
        the Indenture (in the case of the Indenture Trustee), including any Expenses incurred by the relevant party in connection with enforcement of the Servicer’s indemnification or other obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such loss,
        liability, claim, damage or expense: (i) shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, (ii) in the case of the Owner Trustee, shall
        arise from the breach by the Owner Trustee of any of its representations or warranties set forth in Section 7.03 of the Trust Agreement, (iii) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, shall arise from the breach by the Indenture Trustee of any of its
        representations and warranties set forth in the Indenture or shall arise out of or be incurred in connection with the performance by the Indenture Trustee of the duties of a Successor Servicer hereunder or (iv) relates to any tax other than to the
        taxes with respect to which either the Depositor or the Servicer shall be required to indemnify the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable.

     

    (e)          The Servicer shall pay the Owner Trustee compensation, reimbursement or other payments owed to it pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of the Trust
        Agreement.

     

    In addition to the foregoing indemnities, if either Trustee is entitled to indemnification by the Depositor pursuant to Section 5.02 and the Depositor is unable for any reason to provide such indemnification to either
      Trustee, then the Servicer shall be liable for any indemnification that such Trustee is entitled to under Section 5.02.  For purposes of this Section, in the event of a termination of the rights and obligations of the Servicer (or any Successor
      Servicer) pursuant to Section 7.01 or a resignation by such Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, 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. 
      Indemnification under this Section by the Servicer (or any Successor Servicer), with respect to the period such Person was (or was deemed to be) the Servicer, shall survive the termination of each Person as Servicer or a resignation by such Person as
      Servicer, as well as the resignation or removal of the Owner 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 of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer,
      as the case may be, without interest.

    Section 6.03.  Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of Servicer.  Any Person (i) into which the Servicer shall be merged or consolidated, (ii)
      which may result from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party or (iii) which may succeed to all or substantially all of the business of the Servicer, which Person in any of the foregoing cases is an Eligible
      Servicer and executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement, shall be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any other document or any further act on
      the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however, the Servicer shall have delivered to the Depositor and the Trustees (a) an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such merger, conversion or consolidation and such
      agreement of assumption comply with this Section and (b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (1) all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been authorized and filed that
      are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the assets of the Issuer and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given
      or (2) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (a) and (b) above shall be
      conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above.  The Servicer shall provide prior written notice of any merger, conversion, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section to the Trustees, the
      Rating Agencies and the Depositor.  The Servicer shall provide such information in writing as reasonably requested by the Depositor to allow the Depositor to comply with its Exchange Act reporting obligations with respect to a Successor Servicer.

     

    Section 6.04.  Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

     

    (a)          Neither the Servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Issuer or any
        Securityholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant hereto, 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 hereunder.  The Servicer and any of its respective directors, officers,
        employees or agents may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person in respect of any matters arising under this Agreement.

     

    (b)          Except as provided herein, 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 administer and 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 rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders under this Agreement.  In such event, the legal
        expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Servicer.

      as Servicer and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to such effect.  Any such resignation will become effective in accordance with Section 7.02.

      with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Basic Document (including in the definition of the terms “Note Balance” and
      “Outstanding”).  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other Basic Documents (including in the definition of the terms “Note Balance” and “Outstanding”), Securities so owned by or pledged to the Servicer or such Affiliate shall have

    (c)          any representation or warranty of the Servicer made in this Agreement, or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, other
        than any representation or warranty relating to a Receivable that has been purchased by the Servicer, proving to have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, and the circumstance or condition in
        respect of which such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such circumstance or condition, requiring the same to be eliminated
        or cured, shall have been given (i) to the Servicer by the Depositor or either Trustee or (ii) to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustees by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Notes; or

     

    (d)          an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Servicer.

     

    If a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Notes (or holders of
      Certificates representing not less than 51% of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interests outstanding if the Notes are no longer Outstanding), in each case by providing a Servicer Termination Notice to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the
      Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders) may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that the indemnification obligations of
      the Servicer under Section 6.02 shall survive such termination.

     

    
      36

      
        

    

    On or after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates, the Trust Property 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 Trustees are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
      deliver, on behalf of the outgoing 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 Receivable Files or the certificates of title to the Financed Vehicles, or otherwise.  The outgoing Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and such
      Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the outgoing Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts
      that shall at the time be held by the outgoing Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the outgoing Servicer, in the Accounts or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables, all Receivable Files and all information or documents that
      the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer may require, and the Successor Servicer shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or expenses to the extent that it cannot perform its obligations hereunder due to the failure of the
      predecessor Servicer to so deliver.  In addition, the Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request.  All Transition Costs shall be paid by the outgoing Servicer (or by the initial Servicer if the outgoing Servicer is the Indenture Trustee acting on an interim basis) upon presentation of reasonable documentation
      of such costs and expenses.

     

    The Trustees shall have no obligation to notify the Noteholders, the Certificateholders or any other Person of the occurrence of any event specified in this Section prior to the continuance of such event through the end
      of any cure period specified in this Section.

     

    Section 7.02.  Appointment of Successor Servicer.  Upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05 or the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section
      7.01, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the obligations and duties placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this
      Agreement, and shall provide such information in writing as reasonably requested by the Depositor to allow the Depositor to comply with its Exchange Act reporting obligations with respect to the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Successor
      Servicer; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee, as Successor Servicer, shall not, in any event, be required to make any Advances pursuant to Section 4.06 and shall have no obligations pursuant to Section 3.09 with respect to the fees and
      expenses of the Trustees, the fees and expenses of the attorneys for the Trustees, the fees and expenses of any custodian appointed by the Trustees, the fees and expenses of Independent accountants or expenses incurred in connection with
      distributions and reports to the Securityholders.  As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under
      this Agreement if no such resignation or termination had occurred, except that all collections on or in respect of the Receivables shall be deposited in the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt and shall not be retained by the
      Servicer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an Eligible Servicer as the
      successor to the terminated Servicer under this Agreement.  In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such Successor Servicer out of Available Collections for each Payment Date as it
      and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that such compensation shall not be greater than that payable to MBFS USA as initial Servicer hereunder without the prior consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note
      Balance of the Notes (or Holders of Certificates representing not less than 51% of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interests then outstanding if the Notes are no longer Outstanding).  The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such
      action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession, including providing such information in writing as reasonably requested by the Depositor to allow the Depositor to comply with its Exchange Act reporting
      obligations with respect to such Successor Servicer.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be relieved of its duties as Successor Servicer under this Section until a newly appointed Servicer shall have assumed the obligations and duties of the terminated
      Servicer under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the
      amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer to act as Successor Servicer hereunder or the responsibilities of the Servicer set forth in Section 3.08 and 3.16.

     

    
      37

      
        

    

    Section 7.03.  Effect of Servicing Transfer.

     

    (a)          After a transfer of servicing hereunder, the Indenture Trustee or Successor Servicer shall notify the Obligors to make directly to the Successor Servicer payments that are
        due under the Receivables after the effective date of such transfer.

     

    (b)          Except as provided in Section 7.02, after a transfer of servicing hereunder, the outgoing Servicer shall have no further obligations with respect to the administration,
        servicing, custody or collection of the Receivables and the Successor Servicer shall have all of such obligations, except that the outgoing Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the Successor Servicer for its own account,
        promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts or items held by the outgoing Servicer (properly endorsed where required for the Successor Servicer to collect any such items) received as payments upon or otherwise in
        connection with the Receivables.

     

    (c)          Any Successor Servicer shall provide the Depositor with access to the Receivable Files and to the Successor Servicer’s records (whether written or automated) with respect
        to the Receivable Files.  Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Successor Servicer.  Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of a Successor
        Servicer to observe any Applicable Law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

     

    
      38

      
        

    

    (d)          Any transfer of servicing hereunder shall not constitute an assumption by the related Successor Servicer of any liability of the related outgoing Servicer arising out of
        any breach by such outgoing Servicer of such outgoing Servicer’s duties hereunder prior to such transfer of servicing.

     

    Section 7.04.  Notification to Noteholders and Rating Agencies.  Upon any notice of a Servicer Termination Event or upon any termination of, or any appointment of a
      successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders, the Rating Agencies and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

     

    Section 7.05.  Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events.  The Noteholders evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Notes may, on behalf of all
      Noteholders, waive any Servicer Termination Event and its consequences, except an event resulting from the failure to make any required deposits to or payments from the Accounts in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon any such waiver of a Servicer
      Termination Event, such event shall cease to exist, and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right arising therefrom, except to the
      extent expressly so waived.

     

    Section 7.06.  Repayment of Advances.  If the identity of the Servicer shall change, the outgoing Servicer shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for outstanding and
      unreimbursed Advances made pursuant to Section 4.06 by the outgoing Servicer.

    TERMINATION

     

    Section 8.01.  Optional Purchase of All Receivables.

     

    (a)          If, as of the last day of any Collection Period, the Pool Balance shall be less than or equal to 5% of the Cutoff Date Pool Balance, the Servicer shall have the option to
        purchase on the following Payment Date the Trust Estate, other than the Accounts.  To exercise such option, the Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Trustees and the Rating Agencies, not fewer than ten nor more than 30 days prior to the Payment
        Date on which such repurchase is to be effected and shall deposit into the Collection Account on the related Deposit Date an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Receivables (including Receivables that became Defaulted Receivables
        during the related Collection Period), less the Reserve Fund Amount, which funds shall be transferred from the Reserve Fund into the Collection Account.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be permitted to exercise such option
        unless the amount to be deposited in the Collection Account (together with amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund and the Collection Account) pursuant to this Section is at least equal to the sum of all amounts due to the Servicer under this
        Agreement plus the Note Balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest (including any overdue interest) on the Notes plus all amounts due to the Servicer for any outstanding and unreimbursed Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances plus all accrued but
        unpaid Total Trustee Fees and Asset Representations Reviewer Fees.  Upon such payment, the Seller shall succeed to and own all interests in and to the Issuer.  The aggregate amount so deposited in respect of such Payment Date, plus, to the extent
        necessary, all amounts in the Reserve Fund, if any, shall be used to make payments in full to the Noteholders in the manner set forth in Article Four.

     

    (b)          Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the Certificateholders shall succeed to the
        rights of the Noteholders hereunder and the Indenture Trustee shall continue to carry out its obligations hereunder with respect to the Certificateholders, including making distributions from the Collection Account in accordance with Section
        4.08(c) and making withdrawals from the Reserve Fund in accordance with Sections 4.02 and 4.07.

     

    Section 8.02.  Termination.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the maturity or
      liquidation of the latest maturing Receivable and the disposition of any amounts received thereon in accordance with Section 2.08 of the Indenture, (ii) the payment to the Securityholders of all amounts required to be paid to them under the Basic
      Documents and (iii) the exercise by the Servicer of its rights under Section 8.01, the deposit into the Collection Account by the Servicer of the amount required to be deposited therein in accordance with Section 8.01 and the application of such
      amounts in accordance with Section 2.08 of the Indenture.

    EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING

     

    Section 9.01.  Further Assurances.  The Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the satisfaction of the
      Depositor’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act with respect to the Issuer.  The Depositor shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith.  In addition to
      the other information specified in this Article, if so requested by the Depositor for the purpose of satisfying its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall provide the Depositor with (i) such
      information which is available to such Person without unreasonable effort or expense and within such timeframe as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor to comply with the Depositor’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and (ii) to the
      extent such Person is a party (and the Depositor is not a party) to any agreement or amendment required to be filed, copies of such agreement or amendment in EDGAR-compatible form.  Each of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee 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 agrees to comply with requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB.

     

    Section 9.02.  Form 10-D Filings.  So long as the Depositor is required to file Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Issuer, no later than each Determination Date,
      each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall notify (and the Servicer shall cause any subservicer to notify) the Depositor of any Form 10-D Disclosure Item with respect to such Person (or in the case of the Indenture Trustee, a Responsible
      Officer of such Person), together with a description of any such Form 10-D Disclosure Item in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Depositor.  In addition to such information as the Servicer is obligated to provide pursuant to other
      provisions of this Agreement, if so requested by the Depositor, the Servicer shall provide such information which is available to the Servicer, without unreasonable effort or expense regarding the performance or servicing of the Receivables as is
      reasonably required to facilitate preparation of distribution reports in accordance with Item 1121 of Regulation AB.  Such information shall be provided concurrently with the statements to Securityholders pursuant to Section 4.09, commencing with the
      first such report due not less than five Business Days following such request.

     

    Section 9.03.  Form 8-K Filings.  So long as the Depositor is required to file Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Issuer, each of the Indenture Trustee and the
      Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor, but in no event later than two Business Days after its occurrence, of any Reportable Event of which such Person (or in the case of the Indenture Trustee, a Responsible Officer of such Person) has actual
      knowledge.  Each Person shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of any such event to the extent that it relates to such Person or any action or failure to act by such Person.

     

    Section 9.04.  Form 10-K Filings.  So long as the Depositor is required to file Exchange Act Reports, (i) if the Item 1119 Parties listed on Schedule B have changed since
      the Closing Date, no later than February 1 of each year, commencing in 2021, the Depositor shall provide each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer with an updated Schedule B setting forth the Item 1119 Parties and (ii) no later than March 15 of
      each year, commencing in 2021, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall notify the Depositor of any Form 10-K Disclosure Item, together with a description of any such Form 10-K Disclosure Item in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
      Depositor.

     

    
      41

      
        

    

    Section 9.05.  Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.  So long as the Depositor is required to file Exchange Act Reports, on or before March 15 of each
      calendar year, commencing in 2021:

     

    (a)          The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer the Servicing Criteria Assessment.  Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer of the Indenture Trustee and
      shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Part I of Schedule C hereto delivered to the Depositor concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (provided that such
      certification may be revised after the date of this Agreement as agreed by the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee to reflect any guidance with respect to such criteria from the Commission).  To the extent any of the Servicing Criteria are not
      applicable to the Indenture Trustee, with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Indenture Trustee and that are backed by the same asset type backing the Notes, such report shall include such a statement to
      that effect.  The Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees that the Depositor and the Servicer with respect to its duties as the Certifying Person, and each of their respective officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon each such
      Servicing Criteria Assessment and the attestation delivered pursuant to Section 9.05(b).

     

    (b)          The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a report of a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance made by
      the Indenture Trustee and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph.  Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 13a‐18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act (or any successor provisions), Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X (or any
      successor provisions) under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, that, 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.  Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use language.

     

    (c)          In the event the Indenture Trustee is terminated or resigns during the term of this Agreement, such Person shall provide the documents and information pursuant to this Section with respect
      to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or provided services with respect to the Issuer or the Receivables.

     

    Section 9.06.  Back-up Sarbanes-Oxley Certification.

     

    (a)          No later than March 15 of each year, beginning in 2021, the Servicer shall provide the Performance Certification to the Certifying Person as Schedule D (in the case of the
        Servicer), in each case on which the Certification Parties can reasonably rely; provided that so long as the Servicer is an Affiliate of the Depositor, the Servicer may, but is not required to deliver the Performance Certificate.

     

    
      42

      
        

    

    (b)          The Depositor will not request delivery of a certification under this Section unless the Depositor is required under the Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K
        with respect to the Issuer.  In the event that prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K in March of each year, the Servicer has actual knowledge of information material to the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification, the Servicer shall promptly notify the
        Depositor.

     

    Section 9.07.  Representations and Warranties.  As of the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee represents that:

     

    (i)          there are no affiliations relating to the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Item 1119 Party;

     

    (ii)         there are no relationships or transactions with respect to any Item 1119 Party and the Indenture Trustee that are outside the ordinary course of
        business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party, apart from the transactions contemplated under the Basic Documents, and that are material to the investors’ understanding of the Notes;
        and

     

    (iii)        except as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no legal Proceedings pending, or known to be contemplated by Governmental Authorities, against the
        Indenture Trustee, or of which the property of the Indenture Trustee is subject, that is material to the Noteholders.

     

    Section 9.08.  Indemnification.

     

    (a)          Each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer (if the Servicer is not MBFS USA) shall indemnify the Depositor, the Servicer (if MBFS USA is the Servicer) with respect to
        its duties as Certifying Person and each Person who controls any of such parties (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees and
        agents of each of the foregoing, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them
        may sustain arising out of or based upon:

     

    (i)          (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in the Provided Information or (B) the omission or alleged omission to
        state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by
        way of clarification, that clause (B) shall be construed solely by reference to the related Provided Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the
        Provided Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information; or

     

    
      43

      
        

    

    (ii)         with respect to the Indenture Trustee, any failure by the Indenture Trustee to deliver any Servicing Criteria Assessment when and as required under this
        Article and with respect to the Servicer, any failure by the Servicer to deliver any information, report, certification, accountant’s letter or other material when and as required under Section 3.11 or 3.12 or this Article, as applicable.

     

    (b)          In the case of any failure of performance described in Section 9.08(a)(ii), each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Depositor for all
        costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable.

     

    (c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages of any
        kind whatsoever, including lost profits, even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

    MISCELLANEOUS

     

    Section 10.01.  Amendment.

     

    (a)          This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties hereto without the consent of any Securityholder to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
        provision in this Agreement that may be inconsistent with any other provisions in this Agreement or the Prospectus or to add, change or eliminate any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement; provided,
        however, that no such amendment (i) may materially adversely affect the interests of any Noteholder and (ii) will be permitted unless an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the Depositor and the Trustees to the effect that such amendment will not
        cause the Issuer to be characterized for United States federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise have any material adverse impact on the United States federal income taxation of any Notes Outstanding or
        outstanding Certificates.  Any amendment which affects the Owner Trustee, however, shall require the Owner Trustee’s written consent.

     

    (b)         This Agreement may also be amended from time to
        time by the parties hereto, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes evidencing at least 662⁄3% of the Note Balance of the Notes (or if the Notes are no longer Outstanding, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
        51% of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interests), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Securityholders;
        provided, however, that no such amendment (i) will be permitted unless an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the Depositor and the Trustees to the effect that such amendment will not cause the Issuer to be characterized for United States federal
        income tax purposes as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation or otherwise have any material adverse impact on the United States federal income taxation of any Notes Outstanding and (ii) may (A) increase or reduce in
        any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, or change the allocation or priority of, collections of payments on or in respect of the Receivables or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or
        change any Interest Rate or the Reserve Fund Required Amount without the consent of 100% of the Holders of Notes then Outstanding or (B) reduce the percentage of the Note Balance of the Notes, or of the Certificate Percentage Interest, the consent
        of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, respectively, of which is required for any amendment to this Agreement without the consent of 100% of the Holders of all Notes then Outstanding or all Certificates, respectively.  Any amendment which
        affects the Owner Trustee, however, shall require the Owner Trustee’s written consent.

     

    (c)         An amendment to this Agreement shall be deemed not
        to materially adversely affect the interests of any Noteholder if (i) the Person requesting such amendment obtains and delivers to the Trustees an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer to that effect and (ii) the Rating
        Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such action.

     

    
      45

      
        

    

    (d)          Prior to the execution of any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Servicer shall provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency.

     

    (e)          Promptly after the execution of any amendment pursuant to Section 10.01(b), the Owner Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or
        consent to each Certificateholder.  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Noteholders pursuant to Section 10.01(b) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
        substance thereof.  The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of the Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by the Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable
        requirements as the Trustees may prescribe.

     

    (f)          Prior to the execution of any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Depositor and the Trustees shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating
        that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement to the execution of such amendment have been complied with.  The Owner Trustee or the Indenture
        Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects its rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

        manner and in such places as may be required by Applicable Law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer and of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders in the Receivables and in the proceeds thereof.  The
        Depositor or the Servicer, or both, shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Trustees file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.

     

    (b)          Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall change its name, identity or organizational structure in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation
        statement filed in accordance with Section 10.02(a) seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9‐506 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Trustees at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed such
        amendments to previously filed financing statements or continuation statements or such new financing statements as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the

        structure or jurisdiction of organization or any relocation of its principal place of business or chief executive office if, as a result of such change or relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment to
        any previously filed financing statement or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment, continuation statement or new financing statement.  The Depositor shall at all times maintain its
        jurisdiction of organization, its principal place of business and its chief executive office within the United States.  The Servicer shall at all times maintain each office from which it shall service Receivables, and each office at which the
        Receivable Files are located, within the United States.

     

    (d)          The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status
        of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the
        Collection Account in respect of such Receivable.

     

    (e)          The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of transfer of the Receivables to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer’s
        master computer records (including any back-up archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly and unambiguously 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 pursuant to the Indenture.  Indication of the Issuer’s and the Indenture Trustee’s interest in a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer’s computer systems when, and only when, such
        Receivable shall have been paid in full or repurchased by the Seller or purchased by the Servicer.

     

    (f)          If at any time the Depositor or the Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in any motor vehicle installment sales
        or installment loans contract to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, CDs, records or printouts (including any restored from back-up
        archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly and unambiguously that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee (unless such
        Receivable has been paid in full or repurchased by the Seller or purchased by the Servicer).

     

    (g)          The Servicer shall permit the Trustees and their respective agents at any time during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice, to inspect, audit and make copies
        of and abstracts from the Servicer’s records regarding any Receivable.

     

    (h)          If the Seller has repurchased one or more Receivables from the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.05 or the Servicer has purchased one or more Receivables from the Issuer
        pursuant to Section 3.08, the Servicer shall, upon request, furnish to the Owner Trustee or to the Indenture Trustee, within ten Business Days, a list of all Receivables (by contract number) then held as part of the Issuer, together with a
        reconciliation of such list to the Schedule of Receivables (as amended or supplemented to date) and to each of the Investor Reports furnished before such request indicating removal of Receivables from the Issuer.

     

    
      47

      
        

    

    (i)           The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustees,
        promptly after the authorization and delivery of each amendment to any financing statement delivered pursuant to this Agreement, an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and
        continuation statements have been authorized and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Depositor (in the case of an opinion delivered by the Servicer) or the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (in the case of an
        opinion delivered by the Depositor) in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such
        interest.

     

    (j)           The Depositor shall, to the extent required by Applicable Law, cause the Notes to be registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the
        Exchange Act within the time periods specified in such sections.

    EXHIBIT A

     

    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AS TO THE RECEIVABLES

     

    The following representations and warranties shall be made in respect of the Receivables being transferred to the Issuer on the Closing Date as of the Cutoff Date.

     

    (i)           Characteristics of Receivables.  Each Receivable (a) was originated in the United States by the Seller or a Dealer located in the United States for the retail sale of a Financed Vehicle in the
      ordinary course of the Seller’s or the applicable Dealer’s business in accordance with the Seller’s credit policies as of the date of origination or acquisition of the related Receivable, is payable in United States dollars, has been fully and
      properly executed by the parties thereto, if not originated by the Seller, has been purchased by the Seller from such Dealer under an existing Dealer Agreement (or approved form of assignment) and has been validly assigned by such Dealer to the
      Seller, (b) has created a valid, subsisting and enforceable first priority security interest in favor of the Seller in the Financed Vehicle, which security interest shall be perfected and prior to any other interest in such Financed Vehicle, and
      which security interest is assignable by the Seller and reassignable by the assignee, (c) contains customary and enforceable provisions such that the rights and remedies of the holder thereof are adequate for realization against the collateral of the
      benefits of the security, (d) shall, except as otherwise provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, provide for level Monthly Payments (provided that the payment in the first or last month in the life of the Receivable may be minimally different
      from the level payment) that fully amortize the Amount Financed over its original term and shall provide for a finance charge or shall yield interest at its APR, (e) shall provide for, in the event that such Receivable is prepaid, a payoff amount
      that fully pays the Principal Balance and includes accrued but unpaid interest at least through the date prior to the date of prepayment in an amount calculated by using an interest rate at least equal to its APR, (f) is a Simple Interest Receivable,
      (g) is due from an Obligor with a mailing address within the United States or its territories, and (h)  to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, is not assumable by another Person in a manner which would release the Obligor thereof from such Obligor’s
      obligations to the Seller with respect to such Receivable.

     

    (ii)          Compliance with Law.  Each Receivable complied at the time it was originated or made, and at the Cutoff Date complies, in all material respects with all requirements of applicable federal, State and,
      to the best knowledge of the Seller, local laws, rulings and regulations thereunder (including usury laws).

     

    (iii)         Binding Obligation.  Each Receivable represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the related Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its
      terms, except as (a) enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable limitations on the availability of specific remedies,
      regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a Proceeding in equity or at law and (b) such Receivable may be modified by the application after the Cutoff Date of the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act or by any similar applicable State
      law.

     

    
      A-1

      
        

    

    (iv)         No Government Obligor.  No Receivable is due from the United States or any State or any agency, department, subdivision or instrumentality thereof.

     

    (v)          Obligor Bankruptcy.  To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, at the Cutoff Date, no Obligor is the subject of a bankruptcy Proceeding.

     

    (vi)         Security Interest in Financed Vehicles.  Immediately prior to the transfer of the Receivables by the Seller to the Depositor, each Receivable was secured by a valid, binding and enforceable first
      priority perfected security interest in favor of the Seller as secured party in the related Financed Vehicle or all necessary action with respect to such Receivable has been taken to perfect a first priority security interest in the related Financed
      Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party, which security interest has been validly assigned by the Seller to the Depositor.  The Servicer has received, or will receive within 180 days after the Closing Date, the original certificate of title
      for each Financed Vehicle or notice from the applicable State entity issuing such certificate of title, that such certificate of title is being processed (other than any Financed Vehicle that is subject to a certificate of title statute or motor
      vehicle registration law that does not require that the original certificate of title for such Financed Vehicle be delivered to the Seller).

     

    (vii)        Receivables in Force.  No Receivable shall have been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor shall any Financed Vehicle have been released in whole or in part from the Lien granted by the related
      Receivable.

     

    (viii)       No Waivers.  No provision of a Receivable shall have been waived in such a manner that such Receivable fails to meet all of the other representations and warranties made by the Seller herein with
      respect thereto.

     

    (ix)         No Amendments.  No Receivable shall have been amended or modified in such a manner that the total number of Monthly Payments has been increased or decreased or that the related Amount Financed has
      been increased or decreased or that such Receivable fails to meet all of the other representations and warranties made by the Seller herein with respect thereto.

     

    (x)          No Defenses.  No Receivable is subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and the operation of any of the terms of any Receivable, or the
      exercise of any right thereunder, will not render such Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part or subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and the Seller has not received written notice
      of the assertion with respect to any Receivable of any such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense.

     

    (xi)         No Liens.  No Liens or claims shall have been filed, including Liens for work, labor or materials or for unpaid local, State or federal taxes relating to any Financed Vehicle that shall be prior to,
      or equal or coordinate with, the security interest in such Financed Vehicle granted by the related Receivable.

     

    (xii)        No Defaults; Repossessions.  Except for payment defaults that, as of the Cutoff Date, have been continuing for a period of not more than 30 days, no default, breach, violation or event under the
      terms of any Receivable, permitting acceleration, shall have occurred as of the Cutoff Date and no continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute a default, breach, violation or event under the terms of any
      Receivable, permitting acceleration, shall have arisen; and the Seller shall not have waived any of the foregoing except as otherwise permitted hereunder.  On or prior to the Cutoff Date, no Financed Vehicle has been repossessed.

     

    
      A-2

      
        

    

    (xiii)       Insurance.  Each Receivable requires the related Obligor to obtain physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle and to maintain such insurance.

     

    (xiv)       Title.  It is the intention of the Seller that the transfers and assignments contemplated by the Receivables Purchase Agreement constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Purchaser
      and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of the debtor’s estate in the event of the appointment of a receiver or conservator for the Seller under any receivership, bankruptcy law, insolvency or banking law; no
      Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the Purchaser; immediately prior to the transfer and assignment contemplated by the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Seller had good and marketable
      title to each Receivable free and clear of all Liens and rights of others, except for Liens that shall be released on or before the Closing Date; immediately upon the transfer and assignment thereof, the Purchaser shall have good and marketable title
      to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of others; and the transfer and assignment herein contemplated has been perfected under the UCC.

     

    (xv)        Lawful Assignment.  No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of such Receivable under the
      Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the pledge of such Receivables hereunder, thereunder or under the Indenture is unlawful, void or voidable or under which such Receivable would be rendered void or voidable as a
      result of any such sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or pledge.  The Seller has not entered into any agreement with any account debtor that prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment of the Receivables.

     

    (xvi)       One Original.  For each Receivable that constitutes “tangible chattel paper,” there is only one original executed copy of such Receivable.

     

    (xvii)      Principal Balance.  As of the Cutoff Date, each Receivable had a remaining Principal Balance of not more than $220,000.00 and not less than $2,000.00.

     

    (xviii)       Original Term to Maturity.  Each Receivable had an original term to maturity (based on the number of scheduled payments) of not more than 72 months and not less than 12 months and, based on the
      number of remaining Monthly Payments, a remaining term to maturity as of the Cutoff Date, of not more than 71 months and not less than 3 months.

     

    (xix)       Annual Percentage Rate.  Each Receivable has an APR of at least 0.00% and not more than 12.00%.

     

    (xx)        Simple Interest Method.  All payments with respect to the Receivables have been allocated consistently in accordance with the Simple Interest Method.

     

    
      A-3

      
        

    

    (xxi)       Marking Records.  As of the Closing Date, the Seller will have caused its computer and accounting records relating to each Receivable to be marked to show that the Receivables have been sold to the
      Purchaser by the Seller and transferred and assigned by the Purchaser to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

     

    (xxii)      Chattel Paper.  Each Receivable constitutes “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of origination.

     

    (xxiii)     Final Scheduled Payment Date.  No Receivable has a final scheduled payment date later than six months prior to the Class A‐4 Final Scheduled Payment Date.

     

    (xxiv)     No Fraud or Misrepresentation.  Each Receivable that was originated by a Dealer and was sold by the Dealer to the Seller, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, was so originated and sold without fraud
      or misrepresentation on the part of such Dealer in either case.

     

    (xxv)      No Impairment.  The Seller has not done anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments due under a Receivable or otherwise to impair the rights
      of the Depositor in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof.

     

    (xxvi)     Servicing.  Each Receivable has been serviced in conformity with all Applicable Laws, rules and regulation and in conformity with the Seller’s policies and procedures which are consistent with
      customary, prudent industry standards.

        Issuer or the Owner Trustee are required to take pursuant to the Issuer Basic Documents.  In furtherance thereof, the Owner Trustee shall, on behalf of itself and of the Issuer, execute and deliver to the Administrator and to each successor

    (f)  To the extent that any tax withholding is required, the Administrator shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, on or before January 31, 2021, a certificate
      of an Authorized Officer in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee as to such tax withholding and the procedures to be followed with respect thereto to comply with the requirements of the Code.  The Administrator shall update such
      certificate if any additional tax withholding is subsequently required or any previously required tax withholding shall no longer be required.

      Trustee, and any other duties expressly required to be performed by the Administrator under the Trust Agreement, the Asset Representations Review Agreement or any other Basic Document.

    

    

    (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;

    

    

    (ii)    the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Issuer and the compromise of any action, claim or lawsuit brought by
        or against the Issuer (other than in connection with the collection of the Receivables);

    

    

    (iii)    the amendment, change or modification of the Basic Documents;

    

    

    (iv)    the appointment of successor Note Registrars, successor Paying Agents and successor Indenture Trustees pursuant to the Indenture or the appointment of successor
      Administrators or Successor Servicers, or the consent to the assignment by the Note Registrar, any Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee of its obligations under the Indenture;

    

    

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

     

    

    
      6

      
        

    

    (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, 2021, 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.

     

    

    
      7

    Section 1.04.  Compensation.  As compensation for the performance of the Administra-tor’s obligations under this Agreement and

      to time such additional information regarding the Collateral as the Issuer may reasonably request.

      Administrator shall have no authority to act for or represent the Issuer or the Owner Trustee in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee.

    

    

    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.

      accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the Receivables or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Securityholders without the consent of all Securityholders adversely affected thereby or (ii) reduce

        the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such amendment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not amend this Agreement without the consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

      assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder.  Notwithstand-ing the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the Administrator without the consent of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to a corporation or other
      organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the Administrator; provided, that such successor organization executes and delivers to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an agreement, in form
      and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, in which such corporation or other organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Administrator is bound
      hereunder.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto.

    KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that Wilmington Trust, National Association, a national banking association,  not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee of Mercedes-Benz Auto Receivables
