Section 3.02 Review Materials.
(a) Access to Review Materials. Within [60] days of receipt of a Review Notice, the Servicer will provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with access to the Review Materials for all Review Receivables in one or more of the following ways, at its option: (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 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. Upon receipt of the 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.

Section 3.03 Performance of Reviews.
(a) Test Procedures. For a Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform, for each Review Receivable, 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 as specified in the description of each Test under Schedule B. For each Test and Review Receivable, 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”). During the course of its review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide the [Issuing Entity][, the Grantor Trust] and the Servicer with a preliminary list of any Test Fail and the issues identified and, at that time, the Servicer has the option of electing to provide additional Review Materials or information which the Asset Representations Reviewer will analyze and consider in preparing the Review Report.

On receipt of such notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of the related Review Receivable, and the Review of such Review Receivables will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, the related Review Report will indicate a Test Complete for such Review Receivable and the related reason.
(d) Previously Reviewed Receivables; Duplicative Tests. If any Review Receivable was included in a prior Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not conduct additional Tests on such Review Receivable, but will include the previously reported Test results in the Review Report for the current Review.

(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.

If the Issuing Entity[, the Grantor Trust] 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.

(iv) The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees to provide Issuing Entity[, the Grantor Trust] and Servicer with information regarding its and its representatives’ privacy and information security systems, policies and procedures as Issuing Entity[, the Grantor Trust] or Servicer may reasonably request relating to its compliance with this Agreement and applicable Privacy Laws.

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall comply at all times with Servicer’s information security policies and procedures in connection with any access to or use of Servicer’s network or systems.
15
(d) Notice of Breach. The Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Issuing Entity[, the Grantor Trust] and the Servicer promptly in the event of an actual or reasonably suspected security breach, unauthorized access, misappropriation or other compromise of the security, confidentiality or integrity of Issuing Entity PII and, where applicable, immediately take action to prevent any further breach.
(e) Return or Disposal of Issuing Entity PII. Except where return or disposal is prohibited by applicable law, promptly on the earlier of the completion of the Review or the request of the Issuing Entity[, the Grantor Trust] or the Servicer, all Issuing Entity PII in any medium in the Asset Representations Reviewer's possession or under its control will be (i) destroyed in a manner that prevents its recovery or restoration or (ii) if so directed by the Issuing Entity[, the Grantor Trust] or the Servicer, returned to the Issuing Entity[, the Grantor Trust] or the Servicer, as applicable, without the Asset Representations Reviewer retaining any actual or recoverable copies, in both cases, without charge to the Issuing Entity[, the Grantor Trust] or the Servicer.

Each of the Issuing Entity[, the Grantor Trust] and the Servicer agrees to make reasonable efforts to schedule any audit described in this Section 4.09 with the inspections described in Section 4.06. The Asset Representations Reviewer will also permit the Issuing Entity[, the Grantor Trust] and the Servicer during normal business hours on reasonable advance notice to audit any service providers used by the Asset Representations Reviewer to fulfill the Asset Representations Reviewer's obligations under this Agreement and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause such service providers to permit the Issuing Entity[, the Grantor Trust] and the Servicer to conduct such audit.
(h) Affiliates and Third Parties. If the Asset Representations Reviewer processes the PII of the Issuing Entity's Affiliates or a third party when performing a Review, and if such Affiliate or third party is identified to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such Affiliate or third party is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 4.09, and this Agreement is intended to benefit the Affiliate or third party.
