Management’s Assessment of Compliance

 

1.

Management of General Electric Company, successor by merger to General Electric Capital Corporation (formerly known as General Electric Capital LLC) (the “Company”) is responsible for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to it under paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”), as set forth in Appendix A hereto. Due to the transfer of servicing responsibilities as of 1:00 a.m. (New York City time) on December 2, 2015, servicing criteria 1122(d)(1)(ii), 1122(d)(1)(iv), 1122(d)(1)(v), 1122(d)(2)(i), 1122(d)(2)(ii), 1122(d)(2)(iii), 1122(d)(2)(iv), 1122(d)(2)(v), 1122(d)(2)(vii), 1122(d)(3)(i), 1122(d)(3)(ii), 1122(d)(3)(iii), 1122(d)(3)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(i), 1122(d)(4)(ii), 1122(d)(4)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(vii), 1122(d)(4)(viii), 1122(d)(4)(ix) and 1122(d)(4)(xiv) are only applicable to the Platform as of 1:00 a.m. (New York City time) on December 2, 2015 and for the period from January 1, 2015 through 1:00 a.m. (New York City time) on December 2, 2015. Appendix B identifies the transactions covered by this report and includes asset-backed securities transactions for which the Company acted as master servicer involving floorplan receivables, accounts receivable and asset-based lending receivables (the “Platform”);

 

2.

The Company has engaged certain vendors, which are not “servicers” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB (the “Vendors”), to perform specific, limited or scripted activities, and the Company’s management elects to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria or portions of the servicing criteria applicable to such Vendors’ activities as set forth in Appendix A hereto, as permitted by the SEC’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation (“C&DI”) 200.06, Vendors Engaged by Servicers (C&DI 200.06) (formerly SEC Manual Telephone Interpretation 17.06). Management has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Vendors’ activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to each Vendor. The Company’s management is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply C&DI 200.06 for the Vendors and related criteria;

 

3.

The Company’s management has assessed the Company’s compliance with the applicable servicing criteria as of December 31, 2015 and for the Reporting Period. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB except as set forth in paragraph 4 below;

 

  

4.

The criteria listed in the column titled “Inapplicable Servicing Criteria” in Appendix A hereto are inapplicable to the Company based on the activities it performs, directly or through its Vendors, with respect to the Platform;

 

5.

Based on such assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2015 and for the Reporting Period, the Company has complied, in all material respects with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the servicing of the Platform;

 

6.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report with respect to management’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria as of December 31, 2015 and for the Reporting Period.
