Within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of a Review Notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer will deliver a list of the Review Receivables to the Asset Representations Reviewer. Upon receipt of a Review Notice and the related list of Review Receivables from the Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start a Review. Delivery of any Review Notice shall be made pursuant to Section 10.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.2. Review Materials.
(a) Access to Review Materials. Within sixty (60) days of the delivery of a Review Notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer will give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Review Materials for all of the Review Receivables in one or more of the following ways, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Servicer: (i) by providing access to the Servicer’s receivables 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 scanned copies at an office of the Servicer where the Review Materials are located or (iv) in another manner agreed to between the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Servicer may redact or remove PII from the Review Materials, but will use commercially reasonable efforts not to change the meaning or usefulness of the Review Materials for the Review.
(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 determines that there are missing or insufficient Review Materials, the Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer and the Administrator promptly, and in any event no less than twenty (20) Business Days before completing the Review. The Servicer will have fifteen (15) Business Days to give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the missing Review Materials or other documents or information to correct any such insufficiency. If the missing or insufficient Review Materials or other documents or information have not been provided by the Servicer within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, the related Review Report will report a Test Fail for each Test in respect of which such missing or insufficient Review Materials is necessary to determine whether a Test Pass result is appropriate.
Section 3.3. Performance of Reviews.
(a) Test Procedures. For a Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform, for each Review Receivable, the procedures listed under “Tests” in Schedule B for each representation and warranty (each, a “Test”), using the Review Materials necessary to perform the procedures described for such Test in Schedule B. For each Test and Review Receivable, the
3
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 Review Receivables within sixty (60) days after having received access to the Review Materials pursuant to Section 3.2(a). However, if additional Review Materials are provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer in respect of any Review Receivables pursuant to Section 3.2(b), the Review period will be extended for an additional thirty (30) days in respect of any such Review Receivables.
(c) Completion of Review for Certain Review Receivables. Following the delivery of the list of the Review Receivables and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a Review Receivable is paid in full by the Obligor or purchased from the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Basic Documents. 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 Receivable; 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. 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 Review Receivable, but will report the results of the Test for each applicable representation and warranty on the Review Report.
(e) Termination of Review. If a Review is in process and the Notes will be paid in full on the next Payment Date, the Servicer or the Administrator will notify the Asset Representations Reviewer no less than ten (10) days before that Payment Date. On receipt of such notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Review immediately and will not be obligated to deliver a Review Report.
Section 3.4. Review Reports. Within five (5) days after the end of the applicable Review period under Section 3.3(b), the Asset Representations Reviewer will deliver to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee a Review Report indicating for each Review Receivable whether there was a Test Pass, Test Fail or Test Complete for each related Test. For each Test Fail or Test Complete, the Review Report will indicate the related reason, including (for example) whether the Review Receivable was a Test Fail as a result of missing or incomplete Review Materials. The Review Report will contain a summary of the Review results to 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 or the Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide additional details on the Test results.

Section 3.5. 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 Review, including responding to requests and answering questions from the Asset Representations Reviewer about access to Review Materials on the Servicer’s originations, receivables or other systems, obtaining missing or insufficient Review Materials and/or providing clarification of any Review Materials or Tests.
(b) Asset Representations Reviewer Representative. The Asset Representations Reviewer will designate one or more representatives who will be available to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator during the performance of a 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, the Servicer or the Administrator until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the Notes and (ii) two years after the delivery of the 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, and the Indenture Trustee will direct the Noteholders, to submit written questions or requests to the Servicer.
Section 3.6. Dispute Resolution. If a Review Receivable that was the subject of a Review becomes the subject of a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 11.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, 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 11.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If not paid by a party to the dispute resolution, the expenses will be reimbursed by the Issuer according to Section 4.3(d) of this Agreement.
Section 3.7. Limitations on Review Obligations.

The Confidential Information will not, without the prior consent of the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator, 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 Review Receivables or performing its obligations under this Agreement.
