(b)      The Asset Representations Reviewer will be required to perform only the Tests provided in Exhibit A in consideration of the Review Materials and any Supplemental Review Materials and will have no obligation to perform additional testing procedures on the Review Receivables or Review Accounts, or, subject to Sections 3.04 and 3.10, to consider any additional information provided by any party.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to provide reporting or information in addition to that expressly set forth in this Agreement.  However, the Asset Representations Reviewer may review and report on additional information that it determines in good faith to be material to its performance under this Agreement.

Section 5.06.    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 Servicer, BANA and the Transferor, 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 Servicer’s, BANA’s and the Transferor’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 Servicer, BANA and the Transferor will, and will cause its authorized representatives to, hold in confidence the information, except if disclosure may be required by law or if the Servicer, BANA or the Transferor reasonably determines that it is required to make the disclosure under this Agreement or any other transaction document relating to any Investor Certificate or Note.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain all relevant books, records, reports and other documents and materials for a period of three (3) years after the termination of its obligations under this Agreement.

(ii)      any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenant or agreement of the Asset Representations Reviewer set forth in this Agreement; or

then, the Servicer may or, in the case of Section 6.01(a)(i), shall remove the Asset Representations Reviewer by delivery of a written instrument to that effect.

(b)    The Servicer may also remove the Asset Representations Reviewer by delivery of a written instrument to that effect on or after the fifth anniversary of the Engagement Date, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice (or such shorter notice period as the parties to this Agreement may agree) from the Servicer to the Asset Representations Reviewer, BANA, the Transferor, and the MTII Trustee.

(c)    Any removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not take effect until a successor Asset Representations Reviewer is appointed in accordance with Section 6.02.  Any expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with replacing the Asset Representations Reviewer following any Disqualification Event shall be reimbursed by the removed Asset Representations Reviewer promptly upon delivery by the Servicer of a detailed invoice.

Section 6.02.     Appointment of Successor.  Upon the removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 6.01 or a permitted resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 6.04, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Asset Representations Reviewer, who shall be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, by written instrument signed by the Servicer, BANA, the Transferor, the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer, and such successor Asset Representations Reviewer.  If a successor Asset Representations Reviewer has not been appointed within sixty (60) days after the giving of written notice of such resignation or the delivery of the written instrument with respect to such removal, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Servicer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Asset Representations Reviewer to act until such time, if any, as a successor Asset Representations Reviewer has been appointed as above provided.  Any successor Asset Representations Reviewer so appointed by such court will immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Asset Representations Reviewer appointed as above provided.

 

Section 6.03.     Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, the Asset Representations Reviewer.  Any Person (a) into which the Asset Representations Reviewer is merged or consolidated, (b) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Asset Representations Reviewer is a party or (c) succeeding to the business of the Asset Representations Reviewer, if that Person is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, will be the successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement. 

If the Asset Representations Reviewer is not the surviving entity, such successor shall expressly assume, by an agreement supplemental hereto, executed by, and delivered to, the Servicer, BANA, and the Transferor, in a form satisfactory to the Servicer, BANA, and the Transferor, the performance of every covenant and obligation of the Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable hereunder (to the extent that any right, covenant or obligation of the Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable hereunder, is inapplicable to the successor entity, such successor entity shall be subject to such covenant or obligation, or benefit from such right, as would apply, to the extent practicable, to such successor entity); and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have delivered to the Servicer, BANA, and the Transferor an officer’s certificate of the Asset Representations Reviewer to the effect that such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and such supplemental agreement comply with this Section 6.03, that the successor Asset Representations Reviewer is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental agreement is legal, valid and binding with respect to the Asset Representations Reviewer.

Section 6.04.     Asset Representations Reviewer Not to Resign.  The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except:

(a)    Upon determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which the Asset Representations Reviewer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law;

(b)    On or after the fifth anniversary of the Engagement Date, upon one (1) year’s written notice (or such shorter notice period as the parties to this Agreement may agree) from the Asset Representations Reviewer to the Servicer, BANA, the Transferor, and the MTII Trustee; or

(c)    Upon a failure by the Servicer to pay any material amount due under Article IV when such amount becomes due and payable, and continuance of such non-payment for a period of sixty (60) days following the date on which such amount became due and payable.

 

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be evidenced as to clause (a)(i) above by an opinion of counsel and as to clause (a)(ii) by an officer’s certificate of the Asset Representations Reviewer, each to such effect delivered to the Transferor, BANA and the Servicer.  No resignation under this Section 6.04 shall become effective until a successor Asset Representations Reviewer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer in accordance with Section 6.02.  Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with replacing the Asset Representations Reviewer following the Asset Representations Reviewer’s resignation under Section 6.04(b) shall be reimbursed by the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer promptly upon delivery by the Servicer of a detailed invoice.

Section 6.05.    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 BANA, the Transferor, and the Servicer. Any such delegation or subcontracting to which BANA, the Transferor, and the Servicer have consented shall not relieve the Asset Representations Reviewer of its liability and responsibility with respect to such obligations, and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04.

Section 7.01.     Confidential Information.

(a)    Confidential Information Defined.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means non-public and/or proprietary information of a party (the “Disclosing Party”) that is disclosed to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) by the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives in connection with the performance of this Agreement, including but not limited to (a) business or technical processes, formulae, source codes, object code, product designs, sales, cost and other unpublished financial information, customer information, product and business plans, projections, marketing data or strategies, trade secrets, intellectual property rights, know-how, expertise, methods and procedures for operation, information about employees, customer names, business or technical proposals, and any other information which is or should reasonably be understood to be confidential or proprietary to the Disclosing Party, (b) PPI and (c) Review Materials.  The foregoing definition of Confidential Information applies to: (i) all such information, whether tangible or intangible and regardless of the medium in which it is stored or presented; and (ii) all copies of such information, as well as all memoranda, notes, summaries, analyses, computer records, and other materials prepared by the Receiving Party or any of its employees, agents, advisors, directors, officers, accountants, auditors and subcontractors, or those of its Affiliates (collectively “Representatives”) to the extent they contain or reflect the Confidential Information.

(b)   Use of Confidential Information.  Each party acknowledges that during the term of this Agreement it may be exposed to or acquire Confidential Information of the other party or its Affiliates.  The Receiving Party shall hold the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in strict confidence and will not disclose such information except to its Representatives who have a need to know such information in connection with the performance of this Agreement and who are informed by the Receiving Party of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and are directed by the Receiving Party to treat the Confidential Information in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  The Receiving Party shall be responsible for the breach of this Agreement by any of its Representatives.  The Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential, non-public and/or proprietary information, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable standard of care.

 

(c)    Exceptions.  Confidential Information shall not include, and this Agreement imposes no obligations with respect to, information that:

(i)       is or becomes part of the public domain other than as a result of disclosure by a Receiving Party or any of its Representatives in violation of this Agreement;

(ii)      was disclosed to a party prior to the date of this Agreement without a pre-existing or concurrent obligation on the part of the party to keep such information confidential;

(iii)     was or hereafter is independently developed by a party outside of this Agreement and without reference to or reliance on any Confidential Information of the other party; or

(iv)     was obtained by the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives from a third party who is not known by the Receiving Party or such Representative, after reasonable inquiry, to be prohibited from disclosing the information to the Receiving Party or such Representative, as applicable, by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to the Disclosing Party.

The foregoing exceptions shall not apply to any PII, which shall remain confidential in all circumstances, except as required or permitted to be disclosed by applicable law, statute, or regulation.

(d)    Disclosure by Operation of Law.  If any party or any of its Representatives is requested or required (orally or in writing, by law, regulation or interrogatory, request for information or documents, court order, subpoena, deposition, administrative proceedings, inspection, audit, civil investigative demand or other legal, governmental or regulatory process) to disclose all or any part of any Confidential Information, such party shall (i) to the extent permitted by law, rule and regulation, promptly notify the other party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request; (ii) consult with the other party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request and cooperate with such party on any steps it considers advisable; and (iii) if disclosure of the Confidential Information is required or deemed advisable, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an order, stipulation or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information to be disclosed.  Each party shall reimburse the other party for reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with such party’s efforts to comply with this section.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer and its Affiliates may disclose Confidential Information, without notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer, to any governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority (including, without limitation, bank and securities examiners) having or claiming to have authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of the Servicer’s business or that of its Affiliates in connection with the exercise of such authority or claimed authority.

 

(e)    Return of Confidential Information.  Upon the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party provided to it pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, (i) the Receiving Party shall be permitted to retain copies of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information solely for archival, audit, disaster recovery, legal, and/or regulatory purposes or, if longer, for the period of time set forth in Section 3.15, and (ii) neither party will be required to search archived electronic back-up files of its computer systems for the other party’s Confidential Information in order to purge the other party’s Confidential Information from its archived files; provided further, that (x) any Confidential Information so retained will remain subject to the obligations and restrictions contained in this Agreement and be maintained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s document retention policies and procedures, and (y) the Receiving Party will not use the retained Confidential Information for any other purpose.

(f)    Remedies.  Each of the parties hereto agree that an actual or threatened breach of this Section by it or its Representatives may cause irreparable damage to the Disclosing Party and that damages may not be an adequate remedy for any such breach.  Accordingly, each party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to restrain any such breach, threatened or actual, without the necessity of posting bond, in addition to any other remedies available to such party at law or in equity.

Section 7.02.     Safeguarding Personally Identifiable Information.

(a)    Definition.  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), 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, as further described in § 501(b) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information (12 C.F.R. Section 208, Appendix D-2), that is provided or made available to the Asset Representations Reviewer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b)    Use of PII.  The Servicer does not grant the Asset Representations Reviewer any rights to PII except as provided in this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will use PII only to perform its obligations under this Agreement or as specifically directed in writing by the Servicer and will only reproduce PII to the extent necessary for these purposes.  The Asset Representations Reviewer must comply with all laws applicable to 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 PII.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will implement privacy or data protection policies and procedures that comply with applicable law 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 PII, (ii) ensure against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of PII, (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of 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 7.02(b), the Asset Representations Reviewer’s disclosure of PII is also subject to the following requirements:

(i)      The Asset Representations Reviewer will not disclose PII to its personnel or allow its personnel access to PII except (A) for the Asset Representations Reviewer personnel who require PII to perform a Review, (B) with the prior consent of the Servicer or (C) as required by applicable law.  When permitted, the disclosure of or access to 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 PII of the confidentiality requirements in this Agreement and train its personnel with access to PII on the proper use and protection of PII.

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

(d)    Notice of Breach. The Asset Representations Reviewer will notify 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 PII and, where applicable, immediately take action to prevent any further breach.

(e)    Return or Disposal of 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 Servicer, all 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 Servicer, returned to the Servicer without the Asset Representations Reviewer retaining any actual or recoverable copies, in both cases, without charge to the Servicer.  Where the Asset Representations Reviewer retains PII, the Asset Representations Reviewer will limit the Asset Representations Reviewer’s further use or disclosure of PII to that required by applicable law.

(f)    Compliance; Modification.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will cooperate with and provide information to the Servicer regarding the Asset Representations Reviewer’s compliance with this Section 7.02.  The Asset Representations Reviewer and the Servicer agree to modify this Section 7.02 as necessary for either party to comply with applicable law.

(g)    Audit of Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will permit the Servicer and its authorized representatives to audit the Asset Representations Reviewer’s compliance with this Section 7.02 during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s normal business hours on reasonable advance notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer, and not more than once during any year unless circumstances necessitate additional audits.  The Servicer agrees to make reasonable efforts to schedule any audit described in this Section 7.02 with the inspections described in Section 5.06.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will also permit the Servicer 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 Servicer’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 7.02, and this Agreement is intended to benefit the Affiliate or third party.  The Affiliate or third party may enforce the PII related terms of this Section 7.02 against the Asset Representations Reviewer as if each were a signatory to this Agreement.

(i)    Breach.  In the event of any actual or apparent theft, unauthorized use or disclosure of any Personally Identifiable Information, the Asset Representations Reviewer will commence all reasonable efforts to investigate and correct the causes and remediate the results thereof, and as soon as practicable following discovery of any such event, provide the Transferor, BANA and the Servicer notice thereof, and such further information and assistance as may be reasonably requested.

Section 8.01.     Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement will terminate, except for obligations under Sections 5.03 and 5.04, on the earlier to occur of (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Investor Certificates or (ii) the removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 6.01 or the permitted resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 6.04 (which removal or resignation, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not take effect until the appointment of a successor Asset Representations Reviewer in accordance with Section 6.02).

Section 9.01.     Amendment.  (a) This Agreement may be amended by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Transferor, BANA and the Servicer, without the consent of any of the Investor Certificateholders, (i) to comply with any change in any applicable federal or state law, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement, including the content of any Exhibit to this Agreement; provided, however, that if such action is taken after the issuance of any tranche of Notes that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form SF-3, such action shall not, in the reasonable belief of the Transferor, as evidenced by an officer’s certificate of the Transferor delivered to BANA, the Servicer, and the MTII Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Investor Certificateholder whose consent has not been obtained, or (ii) to correct any manifest error in the terms of this Agreement as compared to the terms expressly set forth in an applicable prospectus.

 

(b)    This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Transferor, BANA and the Servicer, with the consent of the Investor Certificateholders holding more than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Investor Certificates, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Investor Certificates.

(c)    It shall not be necessary for the consent of Investor Certificateholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

(d)    Each of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Transferor, BANA and the Servicer may, but shall not be obligated to, execute and deliver such amendment which affects its rights, powers, duties or immunities hereunder.

(e)    Prior notice of any amendment of this Agreement contemplated by this Section 9.01 shall be provided to each Rating Agency.

Section 9.02.      Notices.  All notices hereunder shall be given by United States certified or registered mail, by facsimile or by other telecommunication device capable of creating written record of such notice and its receipt.  Notices hereunder shall be effective when received and shall be addressed to the respective parties hereto at the addresses set forth below, or at such other address as shall be designated by any party hereto in a written notice to each other party pursuant to this Section.
