If any action is initiated by BBD to enforce this Section, the prevailing party will be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by it for the enforcement.

Section 14.                Personally Identifiable Information.

“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.

BBD does not grant the Asset Representations Reviewer any rights to PII except as expressly 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 BBD 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 in accordance with Good Industry Practice. The Asset Representations Reviewer will implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate practices, procedures and systems, including administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed 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.

In addition to the use and protection requirements described above, 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 an ARR Review, (B) with the prior consent of BBD 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.

12
 

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

The Asset Representations Reviewer will notify BBD 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.

Except where return or disposal is prohibited by applicable law, promptly on the earlier of the completion of the ARR Review or the request of BBD, 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 BBD, returned to BBD without the Asset Representations Reviewer retaining any actual or recoverable copies, in both cases, without charge to BBD.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will cooperate with and provide information to BBD regarding the Asset Representations Reviewer’s compliance with this Section. The Asset Representations Reviewer and BBD agree to modify this Section as necessary from time to time for either party to comply with applicable law.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will permit BBD and its authorized representatives to audit the Asset Representations Reviewer’s compliance with this Section during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s normal business hours on reasonable advance notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer, but not more than once annually unless reasonable circumstances arise that necessitate additional audits. The Asset Representations Reviewer will also permit BBD 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.

If the Asset Representations Reviewer processes the PII of BBD’s Affiliates or a third party when performing an ARR 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, and this Agreement is intended to benefit the Affiliate or third party. The Affiliate or third party will be entitled to enforce the PII related terms of this Section against the Asset Representations Reviewer as if each were a signatory to this Agreement.

Section 15.                Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. The parties agree that this Agreement and signature pages may be transmitted between them by facsimile or by electronic mail and that faxed and PDF signatures may constitute original signatures and that a faxed or PDF signature page containing the signature (faxed, PDF or original) is binding upon the parties.

Section 16.                GOVERNING LAW; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES

13
 

HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Each party hereto hereby consents and agrees that the state or federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes between them pertaining to this Agreement or to any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, that each party hereto acknowledges that any appeals from those courts may have to be heard by a court located outside of the Borough of Manhattan in New York City. Each party hereto submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each party hereto hereby waives any objection that such party may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each party hereto hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint and other process issued in any such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaint, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at its address as determined in accordance with Section 18, and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such party’s actual receipt thereof or three days after deposit in the United States mail, proper postage prepaid. Nothing in this Section 16 shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. Therefore, to achieve the best combination of the benefits of the judicial system and of arbitration, the parties hereto waive all rights to trial by jury in any action, suit, or proceeding brought to resolve any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of, or connection with, related to, or incidental to the relationship established among them in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 17.                Waiver.

No waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by the parties hereto.

Section 18.                Notices.

All notices, demands, instructions and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given upon delivery or, in the case of a letter mailed by registered first class mail, postage prepaid, three days after deposit in the mail. Unless otherwise specified in a notice sent in accordance with the provisions of this section, notices, demands, instructions and other communications in writing will be given to the respective parties at their respective addresses listed on the signature page to this Agreement.

Section 19.                Further Assurances.

BBD and Asset Representations Reviewer agree to do and perform, from time to time, any and all acts and to execute any and all further instruments required or reasonably requested by the other parties hereto in order to effect more fully the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 20.                Assignment.

Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the remaining parties hereto.

               

14
 

Section 21.                Dispute Resolution.

If an Account or Receivable that was reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer is the subject of a dispute resolution proceeding under the Indenture, the Asset Representations Reviewer will participate in the dispute resolution proceeding on the request of BBD. 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 paid: (i) if the requesting party selects mediation as the resolution method, as mutually agreed upon by the repurchase party and the requesting party as part of the mediation, and (ii) if the requesting party selects arbitration as the resolution method, in accordance with the final determination of the arbitrator.

Section 22.                No Petition.

Each of the parties, by entering into this Agreement agrees that, before the date that is one year and one day (or, if longer, any applicable preference period) after the termination of this Agreement, it will not start or pursue against, or join any other Person in starting or pursuing against, the Transferor or the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any bankruptcy or similar law. This Section will survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 23.                Amendments.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto.

Section 24.                Limitation on Liability.

It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (i) this Agreement is executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust, National Association not individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee of the Issuer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the Second Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of the Issuer, dated as of June 8, 2012, as amended and restated as of August 1, 2012 and as further amended and restated as of December 17, 2013 and as amended by the first amendment thereto, dated as of July 6, 2015, by and between Barclays Dryrock Funding LLC and Wilmington Trust, National Association, (ii) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as a personal representation, undertaking or agreement by Wilmington Trust, National Association but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer and (iii) under no circumstances will Wilmington Trust, National Association be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Agreement or any related documents

Section 25.                Third-Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is for the benefit of and will be binding on the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and assigns. The Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce this Agreement as if it were a party hereto.
