ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW PROCESS
Section 3.1. Review Notices. On receipt of a Review Notice from the Indenture Trustee according to Section 7.08 of the Indenture, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start an Asset Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to start an Asset Review until a Review Notice is received.
Section 3.2. Identification of Subject Leases . Within ten (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.
Section 3.3. 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 ten (10) days after receipt of the Review Notice in one or more of the following ways in the Servicer’s reasonable discretion: (i) by providing access to the Servicer’s lease systems, either remotely or at one of the properties of the Servicer, (ii) by electronic posting of Review Materials to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has access, (iii) by providing originals or photocopies at one of the properties of the Servicer where the Lease Documents are located or (iv) 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 Review remains intact and unchanged.
(b) Missing or Insufficient Review Materials. If 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) days before completing the Review, and the Servicer will have fifteen (15) days to provide the Asset Representations Reviewer access to such missing Review Materials or other documents or information to correct the insufficiency. If the missing or insufficient Review Materials have not been provided by the Servicer within fifteen (15) days, the parties agree that the Subject Lease will have a Test Fail for the related Test(s) and the Test(s) will be considered a Test Complete and the Review Report will indicate the reason for the Test Fail.
| 3 | (NALT 2022-A |
Section 3.4. Performance of Reviews.
(a) Test Procedures. For an Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform for each Subject Lease 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 Lease, 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 of all of the Subject Leases within sixty (60) days after receiving access to the Review Materials under Section 3.3(a). However, if 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) days.
(c) Completion of Review for Certain Subject Leases.

On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of such Leases and the Review of such Leases will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, the Review Report will indicate a Test Complete for the Leases and the related reason.
(d) Previously Reviewed Lease. If any Subject Lease was included in a prior Asset Review (the “Prior Review”), the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform Tests on such Subject Lease only if the Asset Representations Reviewer has reason to believe that the Prior Review was conducted in a manner that would not have ascertained compliance with one or more of the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule A hereto; otherwise, the Asset Representations Reviewer will include in the Review Report for the Asset Review the results of the Tests with respect to such Subject Lease from the Prior Review.
(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 ten (10) days before that Payment Date. On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Asset Review immediately and will have no obligation to deliver a Review Report.
Section 3.5. Review Reports. (a) Within five (5) days after the end of the Asset Review period under Section 3.4(b), the Asset Representations Reviewer will deliver to the Issuing Entity, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee a Review Report indicating for each Subject Lease whether there was a Test Pass or a Test Fail for each Test, or whether the Subject Lease 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 Review to be included in the Issuing Entity’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 Issuing Entity PII.
| 4 | (NALT 2022-A |
(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 Indenture Trustee or the Servicer until the earlier of (i) payment in full of the Notes and (ii) one year after the delivery of the Review Report. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to respond to questions or requests for clarification from Noteholders or any Person other than the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer and will direct such Persons to submit written questions or requests to the Servicer.
Section 3.6. Dispute Resolution. If a Lease that was reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer is the subject of a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 7.07 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 together with reasonable compensation for the time it incurs in connection with 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 7.07 of the Indenture. If not paid by a party to the dispute resolution, the expenses will be reimbursed by the Issuing Entity according to Section 4.3(a).
Section 3.7. Limitations on Review Obligations.

(iv) to obtain missing or insufficient Review Materials from any party or any other source;
(v) to take any action or cause any other party to take any action under any of the Basic Documents or otherwise to enforce any remedies against any Person for breaches of representations or warranties about the Subject Leases; or
(vi) to establish cause, materiality or recourse for any failed Test.
| 5 | (NALT 2022-A |
(b) Testing Procedure Limitations. The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the testing procedures listed under “Tests” in Schedule A, and will have no obligation to perform additional procedures on any Subject Lease or to provide any information other than a Review Report indicating for each Subject Lease whether there was a Test Pass or a Test Fail for each Test, or whether the Subject Lease was a Test Complete and the related reason.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will also permit the Issuing Entity and its authorized representatives during normal business hours on reasonable advance written notice to audit any service providers used by the Asset Representations Reviewer to fulfill the Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this Agreement.
(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 an Asset 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 4.9, and this Agreement is intended to benefit the Affiliate or third party.
