ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW PROCESS

Section 3.01          Review Notices and Identification of Subject Leases.

(a)           On receipt of a Review Notice from the Indenture Trustee according to Section 7.5(b) of the Indenture, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start an Asset Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to start an Asset Review until a Review Notice is received.

(b)           Within 10 Business Days after receipt of a Review Notice, the Servicer will deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, a list of the Subject Leases. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to start an Asset Review until a Review Notice and the related list of Subject Leases 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 Subject Leases provided by the Servicer.

Section 3.02          Review Materials.

(a)           Access to Review Materials. The Servicer will render reasonable assistance to the Asset Representations Reviewer to facilitate the Asset Review. The Servicer will give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Review Materials for all of the Subject Leases within 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 to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has access, (ii) by providing originals or photocopies at an office of the Servicer during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice in connection with the Asset Review or (iii) 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 so long as all information in the Review Materials necessary for the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete the Asset Review remains intact and unchanged. 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 reasonably determines any missing or insufficient Review Materials, the Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer promptly, and in any event no less than 20 calendar days before completing the Asset Review. The Servicer will use reasonable efforts to provide the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the missing Review Materials or other documents or information to correct the insufficiency within 15 calendar days. If the missing Review Materials or other documents have not been provided by the Servicer within 60 calendar days, the related Review Report will report a Test Incomplete for each Test that requires use of the missing or insufficient Review Materials.

Section 3.03          Performance of Reviews.

(a)           Test Procedures. For an Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform, for each Subject Lease, the procedures listed under “Procedures to be Performed” in Schedule A attached hereto for each representation and warranty being tested (each, a “Test”) using the Review Materials listed in Schedule A for each such Test. For each Test and Subject Lease, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine in its reasonable judgment (i) if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”), (ii) if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”) or (iii) if the Test could not be conducted 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 Review within 60 calendar days of receiving access to the Review Materials. However, if additional Review Materials are provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer as described in Section 3.02(b), the Asset Review period will be extended for an additional 30 calendar days.

(c)           Completion of Review for Certain Subject Leases. Following the delivery of the list of the Subject Leases and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a Subject Lease is pre-paid in full by the Obligor or reallocated from the Transaction SUBI Portfolio by the Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents. On receipt of such notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of the related Subject Lease, and the Asset Review of such Subject Leases will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, the related Review Report will indicate a Test Complete for such Subject Lease and the related reason.

(d)           Previously Reviewed Leases; Duplicative Tests. If any Subject Lease was included in a prior Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not conduct additional Tests on such Subject Lease, but will include the previously reported Test results in the Review Report for the current Asset Review; provided, however, that, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall conduct additional Tests on such Subject Lease if the Asset Representation Reviewer determines, in its sole discretion, that the related prior Asset Review was conducted in a manner that would not have ascertained compliance with a specific representation or warranty. 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 Subject Lease, but will report the results of the Test for each applicable representation and warranty on the Review Report.

(e)           Termination of Review. If an Asset 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 and the Indenture Trustee no less than 10 calendar days before that Payment Date. On receipt of such notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Asset Review immediately and will not be obligated to deliver a Review Report.

(f)            Review Systems; Personnel. The Asset Representations Reviewer 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 ensure that these systems allow for each Subject Lease and the related Review Materials to be individually tracked and stored as contemplated by this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain adequate staff that is properly trained to conduct Asset Reviews as required by this Agreement.

Section 3.04          Review Report.

Within 10 calendar days after the end of the applicable Asset 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 indicating for each Subject Lease whether there was a Test Pass, Test Incomplete, Test Fail or Test Complete for each related Test. For each Test Fail or Test Complete, the Review Report will indicate the related reason. The Review Report will contain the findings and conclusions of the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the Asset Review, and will be included in the Issuer’s Form 10-D report for the Collection Period in which the Review Report is received. The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that the Review Report does not contain any PII. 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 Asset 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 and the Servicer during the performance of an Asset 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 subject 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 Subject Lease that was the subject of an Asset Review becomes the subject of a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 11.27 of the Indenture, 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 by a party to the dispute resolution as determined by the mediator or arbitrator for the dispute resolution according to Section 11.27 of the Indenture. If not paid by a party to the dispute resolution, the expenses will be reimbursed according to Section 4.02(c) of this Agreement.

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 an Asset Review under the Indenture, (ii) to determine which Leases are subject to an Asset Review, (iii) to obtain or confirm the validity of the Review Materials, (iv) to obtain missing or insufficient Review Materials except as specifically described herein, (v) to take any action or cause any other party to take any action under any of the Transaction Documents to enforce any remedies for breaches of representations or warranties about the Subject Leases, (vi) to determine the reason for the delinquency of any Subject Lease, the creditworthiness of any Obligor, the overall quality of any Subject Lease or the compliance by the Servicer with its covenants with respect to the servicing of any Subject Lease, or (vii) to establish cause, materiality or recourse for any failed Test as described in Section 3.03.

(b)           Maintenance of Review Materials. The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain copies of any Review Materials, Review Reports and other documents relating to an Asset Review, including internal correspondence and work papers, until the earlier of (i) two years after the delivery of any Review Report or (ii) the repayment of the Notes in full.

(c)           Dispute Resolution Expenses.

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.

The Servicer shall not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Asset Representations Reviewer arising out of or resulting from the Asset Representations Reviewer’s own bad faith, negligence, willful misfeasance or breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI.

TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Section 6.01          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 Article VI, 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 Issuer and 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 Reviews of Subject Leases 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 VCI 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 Leases 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 6.02.

(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.

(b)           Use of Issuer PII. The Issuer does not grant the Asset Representations Reviewer any rights to Issuer PII except as provided in this Agreement. 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.

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; and

(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.
