(a) If any Receivable is subject to repurchase pursuant to any of the Predecessor PSA Repurchase Obligations or any of the Predecessor RPA Repurchase Obligations, which repurchase is not resolved in accordance with the terms of the agreement under which such repurchase obligation arose, within 180 days after notice is delivered to the Bank under the terms of such applicable agreement, the party requesting repurchase of such Receivable (the “Requesting Party”) will have the right to refer the matter, at its discretion, to either third-party mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 2.01 and the Bank is hereby deemed to consent to the selected resolution method. At the end of the 180-day period described above, the Representing Party (as defined below) may provide notice informing the Requesting Party of the status of its request or, in the absence of any such notice, the Requesting Party may presume that its request remains unresolved. The Requesting Party must provide written notice of its intention to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration to the Bank as the party responsible for such repurchase (in such capacity, the “Representing Party”) within 30 calendar days following such 180th day. The Representing Party agrees to participate in the resolution method selected by the Requesting Party.
(b) If the Requesting Party selects mediation as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:
(i) The mediation will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures in effect at the time the mediation is initiated (the “Rules”); provided, that if any of the Rules are inconsistent with the procedures for the mediation or arbitration stated in the Fifth Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, the procedures in such applicable document will control.
-6-
(ii) The mediator must be a Qualified Dispute Resolution Professional. Upon being supplied a list, by the AAA, of at least ten potential mediators that are each Qualified Dispute Resolution Professionals, each of the Requesting Party and the Representing Party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within 14 days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference. The AAA will select the mediator from the remaining potential mediators on the list, respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.
(iii) Each of the Requesting Party and the Representing Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to begin the mediation within 10 Business Days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within 30 days of the start of the mediation.
(iv) The fees and expenses of the mediation will be allocated as mutually agreed by the Requesting Party and the Representing Party as part of the mediation.
(v) A failure by the Requesting Party and the Representing Party to resolve a disputed matter through mediation shall not preclude either party from seeking a resolution of such matter through the initiation of a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to subsection 2.01(d) below.
(c) If the Requesting Party selects arbitration as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:
(i) The arbitration will be held in accordance with the United States Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any choice of law provision in this Agreement, and under the auspices of the AAA and in accordance with the Rules.
(ii) If the repurchase request specified in subsection 2.01(a) involves the repurchase of an aggregate amount of Receivables of less than 5% of the total Principal Receivables in the Trust as of the date of such repurchase request, a single arbitrator will be used. That arbitrator must be a Qualified Dispute Resolution Professional. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential arbitrators that are each Qualified Dispute Resolutions Professionals by the AAA, each of the Requesting Party and the Representing Party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within 14 days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order of preference. The AAA will select the arbitrator from the remaining potential arbitrators on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.
(iii) If the repurchase request specified in subsection 2.01(a) involves the repurchase of an aggregate amount of Receivables equal to or in excess of 5% of the total Principal Receivables in the Trust as of the date of such repurchase request, a three-arbitrator panel will be used.

-7-
(B) one to be appointed by the Representing Party within five Business Days of the Requesting Party’s appointment of an arbitrator, and (C) the third, who will preside over the arbitral panel, to be chosen by the two party-appointed arbitrators within five Business Days of the Representing Party’s appointment. If any party fails to appoint an arbitrator or the two party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third within the relevant time periods, then the appointments will be made by the AAA pursuant to the Rules.
(iv) Each arbitrator selected for any arbitration will abide by the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated. Prior to accepting an appointment, each arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule. Any arbitrator selected may be removed by the AAA for cause consisting of actual bias, conflict of interest or other serious potential for conflict.
(v) The Requesting Party and the Representing Party each agree that it is their intention that after consulting with the parties, the arbitrator or arbitral panel, as applicable, will devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 30 days after appointment of the arbitrator or arbitral panel, as applicable. The arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, will have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with New York law then in effect (including prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so on the motion of any party to the arbitration.

(B) At the request of a party, the arbitrator or arbitral panel, as applicable, shall have the discretion to order examination by deposition of witnesses to the extent the arbitrator or arbitral panel deems such additional discovery relevant and appropriate. Depositions shall be limited to a maximum of three (3) per party and shall be held within thirty (30) calendar days of the making of a request.

-8-
(C) Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrator or arbitral panel, which determination shall be conclusive.
(D) All discovery shall be completed within sixty (60) calendar days following the appointment of the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable; provided, that the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, will have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.
(vi) The Requesting Party and the Representing Party each agree that it is their intention that the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, will resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and may not modify or change this Agreement in any way. The arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted. The Requesting Party and the Representing Party each agree that it is their intention that in its final determination, the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, will determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties as determined by the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, must be consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 3.04, and in its reasonable discretion.

Following that single reconsideration, the determination of the arbitrator or the arbitral panel, as applicable, will be final and non-appealable and may be entered in and may be enforced in, any court of competent jurisdiction.
(vii) By selecting binding arbitration, the Requesting Party is giving up the right to xxx in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

(d) The following provisions will apply to both mediations and arbitrations:
(i) Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York.
(ii) Notwithstanding this dispute resolution provision, the parties will have the right to seek provisional or ancillary relief from a competent court of law, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or attachment order, provided such relief would otherwise be available by law.
-9-
(iii) The details and/or existence of any unfulfilled repurchase request specified in subsection 2.01(a) above, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to informally resolve an unfulfilled repurchase request, and any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding; provided, however, that any discovery taken in any arbitration will be admissible in that particular arbitration. Such information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or discussed with any third party (excluding a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with the related resolution procedure), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient will promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.01 to the contrary, any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration pursuant to subsection 2.01(c) above will be admissible in such arbitration.
