ARTICLE III

ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW PROCESS

Section 3.1. Review Notices. On receipt of a Review Notice in accordance with Section 7.5 of the Indenture, the Asset Representations Reviewer will commence an Asset Representations Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to start an Asset Representations Review until a Review Notice is received.

Section 3.2. Identification of Subject Receivables. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Review Notice, the Servicer will deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer a list of the Subject Receivables.

Section 3.3. Review Materials.

(a) Access to Review Materials. The Servicer will give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Review Materials maintained by the Servicer for all of the Subject Receivables within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of the Review Notice in one or more of the following ways in the Servicer’s reasonable discretion: (i) by electronic posting of Review Materials to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has access, (ii) by providing originals or photocopies of documents relating to the Subject Receivables at one of the properties of the Servicer during the normal business hours of the Servicer or (iii) in another manner agreed by the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Servicer may redact or remove PII from the Review Materials so long as all information in the Review Materials necessary for the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete the Asset Representations Review remains intact and unchanged.

(b) Missing or Insufficient Review Materials. The Asset Representations Reviewer will promptly review the Review Materials to determine if, in its reasonable judgment, any Review Materials are missing or insufficient for the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform any Test. If the Asset Representations Reviewer reasonably determines that any of the Review Materials are missing or insufficient for the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform any Test, the Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer promptly, and in any event no less than twenty (20) calendar days before completing the Asset Representations Review, and the Servicer will use reasonable efforts to provide the Asset Representations Reviewer access to such missing Review Materials or other documents or information to correct the insufficiency within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of notification. If the missing or insufficient Review Materials have not been provided by the Servicer within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of notification, the parties agree that the Subject Receivable will have a Test Incomplete for the related Test(s) and the Review Report will indicate the reason for the Test Incomplete.

Section 3.4. Performance of Reviews.

(a) Test Procedures. For an Asset Representations Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform for each Subject Receivable the procedures listed under “Tests” in Schedule A for each representation and warranty (each, a “Test”), using the Review Materials listed for each such Test in Schedule A. For each Test and Subject Receivable, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine in its reasonable judgment if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”), if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”) or if the Test could not be concluded as a result of missing or incomplete Review Materials (a “Test Incomplete”). The Asset Representations Reviewer will use such determination for all Subject Receivables that are subject to the same Test.

(b) Review Period. The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Asset Representations Review of all of the Subject Receivables within sixty (60) calendar days after receiving access to the Review Materials under Section 3.3(a). However, if missing or additional Review Materials are provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer under Section 3.3(b), the review period will be extended for an additional thirty (30) calendar days.

(c) Completion of Review for Certain Subject Receivables. Following the delivery of the list of the Subject Receivables and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a

Subject Receivable is paid in full by the Obligor or purchased from the Issuer by Fifth Third Bank according to the applicable Transaction Document. On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of such Receivables and the Review of such Receivables will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, the Review Report will indicate a Test Complete for the Receivables and the related reason.

(d) Previously Reviewed Receivable. If a Subject Receivable was included in a prior Asset Representations Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not conduct additional Tests on any such duplicate Subject Receivable unless such Subject Receivable was deemed a Test Incomplete as a result of the failure of the Servicer to provide missing Review Material for such Subject Receivable and the Servicer elects to have such Subject Receivable included in the current Asset Representations Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will include the previously reported Test results for any such duplicate Subject Receivable within the Review Report for the current Asset Representations Review.

(e) Duplicative Tests. If the same Test is required for more than one representation or warranty listed on Schedule A, the Asset Representations Reviewer will only perform the Test once for each Subject Receivable but will report the results of the Test for each applicable representation or warranty on the Review Report.

(f) Termination of Review. If an Asset Representations Review is in process and all of the Notes will be paid in full on the next Payment Date, the Servicer will notify the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee no less than ten (10) calendar days before that Payment Date. On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Asset Representations Review immediately and will have no obligation to deliver a Review Report.

Section 3.5. Review Reports. (a) Within ten (10) calendar days after the end of the review period under Section 3.4(b), the Asset Representations Reviewer will deliver to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee a Review Report indicating for each Subject Receivable whether there was a Test Pass, a Test Incomplete or a Test Fail for each Test, or whether the Subject Receivable was a Test Complete and the related reason. The Review Report will contain a summary of the findings and conclusions of the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the Asset Representations Review to be included in the Issuer’s Form 10-D report for the Collection Period in which the Review Report is received, including a description of each Test Fail and Test Incomplete, if any, from the Asset Representations Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that the Review Report does not contain any Issuer PII. On the reasonable request of the Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide additional details on the Test results.

(b) 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 Servicer until payment in full of the Notes. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to respond to questions or requests for clarification from Noteholders or any Person other than the Servicer and will direct such Persons to submit written questions or requests to the Servicer.

Section 3.6. Limitations on Review Obligations. The Asset Representations Reviewer may rely on the information in any Review Notice, the list(s) of the Subject Receivables provided by the Servicer, and the accuracy and completeness of the Review Materials. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation:

(a) to determine whether a Delinquency Trigger has occurred or whether the required percentage of Noteholders has voted to direct an Asset Representations Review under the Indenture;

(b) to determine which Receivables are Subject Receivables;

(d) to take any action or cause any other party to take any action under any of the Transaction Documents or otherwise to enforce any remedies against any Person for breaches of representations or warranties about the Subject Receivables.

Section 3.7. Dispute Resolution. The Asset Representations Reviewer acknowledges and agrees that any Review Report may be used by the Issuer, the Seller or the Servicer in any dispute resolution proceeding related to the Subject Receivables. No additional fees or reimbursement of expenses shall be paid to the Asset Representations Reviewer regarding the Issuer’s, the Seller’s or the Servicer’s use of any Review Report; provided that the Asset Representations Reviewer will be reimbursed for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in its participation in any dispute resolution proceeding.

(b) Review Fee. Following the completion of an Asset Representations Review and the delivery to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Servicer of the Review Report, or the termination of an Asset Representations Review in accordance with Section 3.4(f), and the delivery to the Servicer of a detailed invoice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be entitled to a fee of $200 for each Subject Receivable for which the Asset Representations Review was started (the “Review Fee”).

Section 4.4. 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. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be liable for its willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of this Agreement or negligence in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 4.5. Indemnification by Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will indemnify each of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Seller, the Sponsor, the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents for all costs, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities (including any reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with the enforcement of any indemnification or other obligation of the Asset Representations Reviewer) resulting from (a) the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Asset Representations Reviewer in performing its obligations under this Agreement, (b) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s failure to comply with the requirements of applicable federal, state or local laws and regulations in the performance of its duties hereunder or (c) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations in this Agreement.

Section 4.6. Indemnification of Asset Representations Reviewer.

(a) Indemnification. The Servicer will indemnify the Asset Representations Reviewer and its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), for all costs, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities resulting from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any loss, damage or liability), but excluding any cost, expense, loss, damage or liability resulting from (i) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence (other than errors in judgment), (ii) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s failure to comply with the requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations in the performance of its duties hereunder or (iii) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations in this Agreement.

(b) Proceedings. Promptly on receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of a Proceeding against it, the Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made under Section 4.6(a), notify the Servicer of the Proceeding. The Servicer may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of a Proceeding at its expense. If the Servicer notifies the Indemnified Person of its intention to assume the defense of the Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the

Indemnified Person, and so long as the Servicer assumes the defense of the Proceeding in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, the Servicer will not be liable for legal expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Servicer, and an Indemnified Person. If there is a conflict, the Servicer will pay for the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Indemnified Person. No settlement of a Proceeding may be made without the approval of the Servicer and the Indemnified Person, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Survival of Obligations. The Servicer’s obligations under this Section 4.6 will survive the resignation or removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer and the termination of this Agreement.

(d) Repayment. If the Servicer makes any payment under this Section 4.6 and the Indemnified Person later collects any of the amounts for which the payments were made to it from others, the Indemnified Person will promptly repay the amounts to the Servicer.

Section 4.7. Inspections of Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that, with reasonable prior notice not more than once during any year, it will permit authorized representatives of the Issuer or the Servicer, during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s normal business hours, to examine and review the books of account, records, reports and other documents and materials of the Asset Representations Reviewer relating to (a) the performance of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this Agreement, (b) payments of fees and expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer for its performance and (c) a claim made by the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement. In addition, the Asset Representations Reviewer will permit the Issuer’s or the Servicer’s representatives 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 and the Servicer will, and will cause its authorized representatives to, hold in confidence the information except if disclosure may be required by law or if the Issuer or the Servicer reasonably determines that it is required to make the disclosure under this Agreement or the other Transaction 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 4.8. Delegation of Obligations. The Asset Representations Reviewer may not delegate or subcontract its obligations under this Agreement to any Person without the consent of the parties to this Agreement, which may be withheld in such party’s sole discretion.

Section 4.9. 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 4.9, and will implement and maintain safeguards to further assure the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. The Confidential Information will not, without the prior consent of the Servicer, be disclosed or used by the Asset Representations Reviewer, or its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or affiliates, including legal counsel (collectively, the “Information Recipients”) other than for the purposes of performing Asset

Representations Reviews of Subject Receivables 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 Fifth Third Bank 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) Definition. “Confidential Information” means oral, written and electronic materials (irrespective of its source or form of communication) furnished before, on or after the date of this Agreement to the Asset Representations Reviewer for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, including:

(i) lists of Subject Receivables and any related Review Materials;

(ii) origination and servicing guidelines, policies and procedures and form contracts; and

(iii) notes, analyses, compilations, studies or other documents or records prepared by the Servicer, which contain information supplied by or on behalf of the Servicer or its representatives.

However, Confidential Information will not include information that (A) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Information Recipients, (B) was available to, or becomes available to, the Information Recipients on a non-confidential basis from a Person or entity other than the Issuer or the Servicer before its disclosure to the Information Recipients who, to the knowledge of the Information Recipient is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Issuer or the Servicer and is not prohibited from transmitting the information to the Information Recipients, (C) is independently developed by the Information Recipients without the use of the Confidential Information, as shown by the Information Recipients’ files and records or other evidence in the Information Recipients’ possession or (D) the Issuer or the Servicer provides permission to the applicable Information Recipients to release.

(c) Protection. The Asset Representations Reviewer will use best efforts 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.

(d) Disclosure. If the Asset Representations Reviewer is required by applicable law, regulation, rule or order issued by an administrative, governmental, regulatory or judicial authority to disclose part of the Confidential Information, it may disclose the Confidential Information. However, before a required disclosure, the Asset Representations Reviewer, if permitted by 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 for the disclosure of the Confidential Information. If the Issuer or the Servicer is 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.

(e) Responsibility for Information Recipients. The Asset Representations Reviewer will be responsible for a breach of this Section 4.9 by its Information Recipients.

(f) 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 4.9, the prevailing party will be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by it for the enforcement.

Section 4.10. Personally Identifiable Information.

(a) Definitions. “Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII” means information in any format about an identifiable individual, including, name, address, phone number, e-mail address, account number(s), identification number(s), vehicle identification number or “VIN”, any other actual or assigned attribute associated with or identifiable to an individual and any information that when used separately or in combination with other information could identify an individual. “Issuer PII” means PII furnished by the Issuer, the Servicer or their Affiliates to the Asset Representations Reviewer and PII developed or otherwise collected or acquired by the Asset Representations Reviewer in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Use of Issuer PII. The Issuer does not grant the Asset Representations Reviewer any rights to Issuer PII. The Asset Representations Reviewer will use Issuer PII only to perform its obligations under this Agreement or as specifically directed in writing by the Issuer and will only reproduce Issuer PII to the extent necessary for these purposes. The Asset Representations Reviewer must comply with all laws applicable to PII, Issuer PII and the Asset Representations Reviewer’s business, including any legally required codes of conduct, including those relating to privacy, security and data protection. The Asset Representations Reviewer will protect and secure Issuer PII. The Asset Representations Reviewer will implement privacy or data protection policies and procedures that comply with applicable laws and regulations and this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate practices, procedures and systems, including administrative, technical and physical safeguards to (i) protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Issuer PII, (ii) ensure against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Issuer PII, (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of Issuer PII and (iv) otherwise comply with its obligations under this Agreement. These safeguards include a written data security plan, employee training, information access controls, restricted disclosures, systems protections (e.g., intrusion protection, data storage protection and data transmission protection) and physical security measures.

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

(i) The Asset Representations Reviewer will not disclose Issuer PII to its personnel or allow its personnel access to Issuer PII except (A) for the Asset Representations Reviewer personnel who require Issuer PII to perform an Asset Representations Review, (B) with the prior consent of the Issuer or (C) as required by applicable law. When permitted, the disclosure of or access to Issuer PII will be limited to the specific information necessary for the individual to complete the assigned task. The Asset Representations Reviewer will inform personnel with access to Issuer PII of the confidentiality requirements in this Agreement and train its personnel with access to Issuer PII on the proper use and protection of Issuer PII.

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

(d) Notice of Breach.
