ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW PROCESS

Section 3.01. Review Notices and Identification of Review Assets. On receipt of a Review Notice from the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Indenture, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start a Review. Once a Review Notice has been issued, the Servicer will provide the list of Review Assets to the Asset Representations Reviewer within ten Business Days.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to start a Review until a Review Notice and the related list of Review Assets is received. The Asset Representations Reviewer is not obligated to verify (i) whether the Indenture Trustee properly determined that a Review Notice was required or (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the list of Review Assets provided by the Servicer.

Section 3.02. Review Materials.

(a) Access to Review Materials. Within 60 days of the delivery of a Review Notice, the Servicer will provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with access to the Review Materials for all Review Assets in one or more of the following ways: (i) by providing access to the Servicer’s systems, either remotely or at an office of the Servicer, (ii) by electronic posting to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has access, (iii) by providing originals or photocopies at an office of the Servicer or (iv) in another manner agreed by the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Servicer may redact or remove Personally Identifiable Information from the Review Materials without changing the meaning or usefulness of the Review Materials. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to rely in good faith, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects, and not misleading in any material respect.

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

Section 3.03. Performance of Reviews.

(a) Test Procedures. For a Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform, for each Review Asset, the Tests for each Eligible Representation. In the course of its review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will use the Review Materials listed in Schedule A. For each Test and Review Asset, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”) or if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”).

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

(c) Completion of Review for Certain Review Assets. Following the delivery of the list of the Review Assets and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a Review Asset has been paid in full by the related Lessee or purchased from the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the 2020-B Servicing Agreement. On receipt of such notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of the related Review Asset, and the Review of such Review Assets will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, the related Review Report will indicate a Test Complete for such Review Asset and the related reason.

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

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

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

Section 3.05. Review Representatives.

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

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

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

Section 3.06. Dispute Resolution. If a Review Asset that was the subject of a Review becomes the subject of a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 3.11 of the 2020-B Servicing Supplement, the Asset Representations Reviewer will participate in the dispute resolution proceeding on request of a party to the proceeding. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer for its participation in any dispute resolution proceeding will be considered expenses of the requesting party for the dispute resolution and will be paid, in the case of (i) an arbitration, by a party to the dispute resolution as determined by the arbitrator for the dispute resolution, and (ii) a mediation, as the parties shall mutually determine, in each case according to Section 3.11 of the 2020-B Servicing Supplement. If not paid by a party to the dispute resolution, the expenses will be reimbursed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.03(d).

Section 3.07. Limitations on Review Obligations.

(a) Review Process Limitations. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation (i) to determine whether a Delinquency Trigger has occurred or whether the required percentage of Noteholders has voted to direct a Review under the Indenture; (ii) to determine which 2020-B Leases and 2020-B Leased Vehicles are subject to a Review, (iii) to obtain or confirm the validity of the Review Materials, (iv) to obtain missing or insufficient Review Materials, (v) to take any action or cause any other party to take any action under any of the 2020-B Basic Documents to enforce any remedies for breaches of representations or warranties about the Eligible Representations, (vi) to determine the reason for the delinquency of any Review Asset, the creditworthiness of any Lessee, the overall quality of any Review Asset or the compliance by the Servicer with its covenants with respect to the servicing of such Review Asset, or (vii) to establish cause, materiality or recourse for any failed Test.

(b) Testing Procedure Limitations. The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the Tests listed under Schedule A, and will not be obligated to perform additional procedures on any Review Asset or to provide any information other than a Review Report. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer may provide additional information in a Review Report about any Review Asset that it determines in good faith to be material to the Review.

The Asset Representations Reviewer has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(c) No Conflicts and No Violation. The completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the performance of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this Agreement will not (i) conflict with, or constitute a breach or default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar document under which the Asset Representations Reviewer is a debtor or guarantor, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of a Lien on the properties or assets of the Asset Representations Reviewer under the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar document, (iii) violate the organizational documents of the Asset Representations Reviewer or (iv) violate a law or, to the Asset Representations Reviewer’s knowledge, an order, rule or regulation of a federal or State court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Asset Representations Reviewer or its properties that applies to the Asset Representations Reviewer, which, in each case, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Asset Representations Reviewer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Review Systems; Personnel. It will maintain business process management and/or other systems necessary to ensure that it can perform each Test and, on execution of this Agreement, will load each Test into these systems.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain adequate staff that is properly trained to conduct Reviews as required by this Agreement.

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

Section 4.03. Fees and Expenses.

(a) Annual Fee. As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to receive an annual fee (the “Annual Fee”) with respect to each Annual Period prior to the termination of the Issuer, in an amount equal to $5,000. The Annual Fee will be paid by the Issuer on the 2020-B Closing Date and on each anniversary of the 2020-B Closing Date until this Agreement is terminated; provided, however, that if the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns or is removed in accordance with Section 5.02, then the Asset Representations Reviewer shall refund to the Issuer a portion of the Annual Fee attributable to the portion of the annual period during which the Asset Representations Reviewer will no longer act as the Asset Representations Reviewer, assuming for purposes of such calculation that the Annual Fee for each day during the annual period is an amount equal to the Annual Fee divided by 365.

(b) Review Fee. Following the completion of a Review and the delivery of the related Review Report pursuant to Section 3.04, or the termination of a Review according to Section 3.03(e), and the delivery to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer of a detailed invoice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be entitled to a fee of $175 for each Review Asset for which the Review was started (the “Review Fee”), payable by the Issuer. No Review Fee will be charged for any Review Asset which was included in a prior Review or for which no Tests were completed prior to the Asset Representations Reviewer being notified of a termination of the Review according to Section 3.03(c) or due to missing or insufficient Review Materials under Section 3.02(b). If the detailed invoice is submitted on or before the first day of a month, the Review Fee will be paid by the Issuer according to the priority of payments in the Indenture on the Payment Date in that month. If a Review is terminated according to Section 3.03(e), however, the Asset Representations Reviewer must submit its invoice for the Review Fee for the terminated Review no later than ten Business Days before the final Payment Date to be reimbursed on such final Payment Date.

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

(d) Dispute Resolution Expenses. If the Asset Representations Reviewer participates in a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 3.06 and its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for participating in the proceeding are not paid by a party to the dispute resolution within 90 days after the end of the proceeding, the Issuer will reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer for such expenses upon receipt of a detailed invoice.

(e) Payment of Invoices. When applicable pursuant to this Section, the fees and expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer are to be paid via the priority of payments described in Section 5.04(b) or 8.03 of the Indenture, as applicable. The Asset Representations Reviewer will issue invoices to the Issuer at the notices addresses set forth in Section 11.04 of the Indenture and Issuer shall pay all invoices submitted by the Asset Representations Reviewer within 30 days following the receipt by the Issuer, in accordance with the priority of payments described in Section 5.04(b) or 8.03 of the Indenture, as applicable. The Administrator shall promptly pay to the Asset Representations Reviewer the amount of any fees, expenses and indemnification amounts not otherwise paid or reimbursed by the Issuer on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Section 5.04(b) or 8.03 of the Indenture, as applicable; provided that the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly reimburse the Administrator for any such amounts to the extent it subsequently receives payment or reimbursement in respect thereof from the Issuer in accordance with the terms of such Sections. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate limit on the Asset Representations Reviewer fees, expenses and indemnities specified in Section 8.03 of the Indenture shall not apply to payments made or to be made by the Administrator to the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to this subsection.

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

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

Section 4.06. Indemnification of Asset Representations Reviewer.

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

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

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

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

Section 4.07. Inspections of Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that, with reasonable advance notice not more than once during any year, it will permit authorized representatives of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator, during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s normal business hours, to examine and review its books of account, records, reports and other documents and materials relating to (a) the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (b) payments of its fees and expenses for its performance of its obligations under this Agreement and (c) a claim made by it under this Agreement. In addition, the Asset Representations Reviewer will permit representatives of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator to make copies and extracts of any of those documents and to discuss them with the Asset Representations Reviewer’s officers and employees. Each of the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator will, and will cause its authorized representatives to, hold in confidence the foregoing information except if disclosure may be required by Applicable Law or if the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator reasonably determines that it is required to make the disclosure under this Agreement or the other 2020-B Basic Documents. The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain all relevant books, records, reports and other documents and materials for a period of at least two years after the termination of its obligations under this Agreement.

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

Section 4.09. Confidential Information.

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

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

(c) Disclosure. If the Asset Representations Reviewer is required by applicable law, regulation, rule or order issued by a Governmental Authority to disclose part of the Confidential Information, it may disclose such Confidential Information. Before any such disclosure, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer, if permitted by law, regulation, rule or order, will use its reasonable efforts to provide the Issuer and the Servicer with notice of the requirement and will cooperate, at the Servicer’s expense, in the Issuer’s and the Servicer’s pursuit of a proper protective order or other relief from the disclosure of such Confidential Information. If the Issuer and the Servicer are unable to obtain a protective order or other proper remedy by the date that the information is required to be disclosed, the Asset Representations Reviewer will disclose only that part of the Confidential Information that it is advised by its legal counsel it is legally required to disclose.

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

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

Section 4.10. Personally Identifiable Information.
