of the 2016-A Exchange Note, by or on behalf of the Borrower, and in each case will be applied only upon the terms and conditions of the 2016-A Basic Documents, as applicable.

SERVICER EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Section 7.01. Servicer Events of Default.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 8.03 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, only the occurrence and continuation of any of the following events will be an “Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default” with respect to the 2016-A Exchange Note, and the “Exchange Note Servicer Events of Default” set forth in Section 8.03(a) of the Basic Servicing Agreement shall not apply to the 2016-A Exchange Note or to this 2016-A Servicing Supplement:

(i) any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee any proceeds or payment required to be so delivered with respect to the 2016-A Exchange Note under the Basic Servicing Agreement or this 2016-A Servicing Supplement that continues unremedied for ten Business Days after the earlier of the date on which (A) notice of such failure is given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or (B) an Authorized Officer of the Servicer has actual knowledge of such failure;

(ii) any failure by the Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other of its covenants or agreements in the 2016-A Servicing Agreement, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of interests in the 2016-A Exchange Note, the Noteholders or, in the event that Certificates are sold to unaffiliated third parties, the Certificateholders, and which continues unremedied for 90 days after written notice thereof is given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee;

(iii) any representation, warranty or statement of the Servicer made in the 2016-A Servicing Agreement or any certificate, report or other writing delivered pursuant to the 2016-A Servicing Agreement shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect when made, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of interests in the 2016-A Exchange Note, the Noteholders or, in the event that Certificates are sold to unaffiliated third parties, the Certificateholders, and which failure continues unremedied for 90 days after written notice thereof is given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee; or

(iv) the occurrence of certain Insolvency Events with respect to the Servicer;

provided, however, that the occurrence of any event set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) with respect to the 2016-A Reference Pool will be an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default only with respect to the 2016-A Reference Pool and will not be a Servicer Event Default with respect to any other Reference Pool or the Revolving Facility Pool.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) for a period of 120 days will not constitute an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default if that failure or delay was caused by Force Majeure. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Servicer will not be relieved from using all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of the Basic Servicing Agreement and this 2016-A Servicing Supplement.

(b) With respect to actions taken under Section 8.03(c) of the Basic Servicing Agreement after the occurrence of an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default, any actions to be taken by the 2016-A Exchange Noteholder thereunder shall be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, acting at the direction of 66 2/3% of the Holders of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class.

(c) In accordance with Section 8.05 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, after the occurrence of an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default, the 2016-A Exchange Noteholder (which for purposes of this Section shall be the Indenture Trustee, acting at the direction of 66 2/3% of the Holders of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class) may waive any such Servicer Event of Default and its consequences. Upon any such waiver, the applicable Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default will cease to exist, and will be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d) On or after the receipt by the Servicer of notice of an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default, all authority and power of the Servicer under this 2016-A Servicing Supplement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates, the Trust Estate or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer as may be appointed pursuant to the terms of the Basic Servicing Agreement. If the Indenture Trustee shall become Successor Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01(a), the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as sub-Servicer any one of its Affiliates or agents; provided that the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Servicer shall be fully liable for the actions or omissions of such Affiliate or agent in such capacity as sub-Servicer. The outgoing Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the outgoing Servicer under this 2016-A Servicing Supplement, including the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the outgoing Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the outgoing Servicer, in the 2016-A Bank Accounts or thereafter received with respect to the 2016-A Leases and 2016-A Vehicles and all information or documents that the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer may require, and the Successor Servicer shall not be liable if it cannot perform due to the failure of the predecessor Servicer to so deliver. In addition, the Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the 2016-A Leases and 2016-A Vehicles to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request. All Transition Costs shall be paid by the outgoing Servicer (or by the initial Servicer if the outgoing Servicer is the Indenture Trustee acting on an interim basis) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 7.01(d), if the Indenture Trustee shall be unwilling so to act or if it is legally unable so to act, a Successor Servicer shall be appointed in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Basic Servicing Agreement. Compensation for any Successor Servicer shall not be greater than that payable to MBFS USA as initial Servicer hereunder without the prior consent of the Majority Noteholders of the Controlling Class (or Holders of Certificates representing not less than 51% of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interests then outstanding if the Notes are no longer Outstanding). The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this 2016-A Servicing Supplement, as shall be necessary to

effectuate any such succession. The Indenture Trustee shall not be relieved of its duties as Successor Servicer under this Section until a newly appointed Servicer shall have assumed the obligations and duties of the terminated Servicer under this 2016-A Servicing Supplement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder, the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer to act as Successor Servicer hereunder or the responsibilities of the Servicer set forth in Sections 3.05 and 3.10 hereunder.
