In the normal course of its business, Macquarie Leasing Pty Limited provides financing for a wide range of new and used motor vehicles and equipment.

The Issuer Trustee has granted a security interest in the pool of SMART Receivables to the Security Trustee, for the benefit of the secured parties, as security for the Notes issued by the Issuer Trustee under the Master Trust Deed and the Series Supplement.

ARTICLE III

ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW PROCESS

Section 3.1.    Review Notices. On receipt of a Review Notice from the Manager according to clause 20.3 of the US$ Note Trust Deed, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start an Asset Representations Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to start an Asset Representations Review until a Review Notice is received.

 

3


Section 3.2.    Identification of Subject Receivables. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Review Notice, the Servicer will deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Manager and the Issuer Trustee a list of the Subject Receivables that will be subject to an Asset Representation Review.

Section 3.3.    Review Materials.

(a)    Access to Review Materials. The Servicer will give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Review Materials for all of the Subject Receivables within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of the Review Notice in one or more of the following ways in the Servicer’s reasonable discretion: (i) by providing remote access to the Servicer’s receivables systems, (ii) by electronic posting of the Review Materials to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has access, or (iii) or in another manner agreed by the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer; provided that the Asset Representations Reviewer will in no event be requested or required to travel to the Servicer’s or other third party’s location to obtain access to Review Materials. The Servicer may redact or remove PII from the Review Materials so long as all information in the Review Materials necessary for the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete the Asset Representations Review remains intact and unchanged.

(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 reasonably determines that any of the Review Materials are missing or insufficient for the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform any Test, the Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer promptly, and in any event no less than twenty (20) calendar days before completing the Asset Representations Review, and the Servicer will use reasonable efforts to provide the Asset Representations Reviewer access to such missing Review Materials or other documents or information to correct the insufficiency within fifteen (15) calendar days. If the missing or insufficient Review Materials have not been provided by the Servicer within sixty (60) calendar days of the Servicer being notified of such insufficiency, the parties agree that the Subject Receivable subject to the applicable Tests(s) will have a Test Incomplete for the related Test(s) and the Review Report will indicate the reason for the Test Incomplete.

Section 3.4.    Performance of Reviews.

(a)    Test Procedures. For an Asset Representations Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform for each Subject Receivable the procedures listed under “Tests” in Schedule A for each Pool Asset Representation (each, a “Test”), using the Review Materials listed for each such Test in Schedule A. For each Test and Subject Receivable, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine in its reasonable judgment if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”), if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”) or if the Test could not be concluded as a result of missing or incomplete Review Materials (a “Test Incomplete”). The Asset Representations Reviewer will use such determination for all Subject Receivables that are subject to the same Test.

 

4


(b)    Review Period. The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Asset Representations Review of all of the Subject Receivables within ninety (90) calendar days after receiving access to the Review Materials under Section 3.3(a). However, if (i) missing or additional Review Materials are provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer under Section 3.3(b) or (ii) the Asset Representations Reviewer requests clarification of any Review Materials or testing procedures, the Asset Representations Review period will be extended for an additional thirty (30) calendar days.

(c)    Completion of Review for Certain Subject Receivables. Following the delivery of the list of the Subject Receivables and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if (a) a Subject Receivable is paid in full by the Obligor (b) a Subject Receivable is held by the Issuer Trustee for the Seller Trust in accordance with clause 6.4 of the Master Sale and Servicing Deed or (c) Macquarie Leasing Pty Limited has paid an amount to the Issuer Trustee in accordance with clauses 6.10 and 6.11 of the Master Sale and Servicing Deed. On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of such Subject Receivable and the Asset Representations Review of such Subject Receivable will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, the Review Report will indicate a Test Complete for the Subject Receivable and the related reason.

(d)    Previously Reviewed Receivable. If any Test was performed in a prior Asset Representations Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not perform such Tests on such Subject Receivable again unless (a) such Subject Receivable is the subject of a Pool Asset Representation as of a date after the completion of such prior Asset Representations Review or (b) the Asset Representations Reviewer has reason to believe that such prior Asset Representations Review was conducted in a manner that would not have ascertained compliance with a specific Pool Asset Representation, but will include the results of such previous Tests in the Review Report for the current Asset Representations Review.

(e)    Duplicative Tests. If the same Test is required for more than one representation or warranty listed in Schedule A, the Asset Representations Reviewer will only perform the Test once for each Subject Receivable but will report the results of the Test for each applicable representation or warranty in the Review Report.

(f)    Termination of Asset Representations Review. If an Asset Representations Review is in process and the US$ Notes will be paid in full on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will notify the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Manager and the Issuer Trustee no less than ten (10) calendar days before that Distribution Date. On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Asset Representations Review immediately and will have no obligation to deliver a Review Report.

Section 3.5.    Review Reports. Within five (5) calendar days after the end of the Asset Representations Review period under Section 3.4(b), the Asset Representations Reviewer will deliver to the Issuer Trustee, the Manager and the Servicer a Review Report indicating for each Subject Receivable whether there was a Test Pass, a Test Incomplete or a Test Fail for each Test, or whether the Subject Receivable was a Test Complete and the related reason. The Review Report will contain a summary of the Asset Representations Review results, which must be

 

5


included in the Form 10-D report filed by MLPL, as depositor and on behalf of the Series Trust, 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 Macquarie PII. On the reasonable request of the Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide additional details on the Test results.

Section 3.6.    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 Asset Representations Review, including responding to requests and answering questions from the Asset Representations Reviewer about access to Review Materials on the Servicer’s receivables 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 Trustee, the Manager and the Servicer during the performance of an Asset Representations Review.

(c)    Questions About Asset Representations 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 Issuer Trustee, the Manager or the Servicer until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the US$ Notes and (ii) one year after the delivery of the Review Report. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to respond to questions or requests for clarification from US$ Noteholders or any other person and will direct such persons to submit written questions or requests to the Servicer (with a copy to the Issuer Trustee and the Manager).

Section 3.7.    Limitations on Asset Representations Review Obligations.

(a)    Asset Representations Review Process Limitations. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation:

(i)    to determine whether a Delinquency Trigger has occurred or whether the required percentage of US$ Noteholders has voted to direct an Asset Representations Review under the Series Supplement;

(ii)    to determine which SMART Receivables are subject to an Asset Representations Review;

(iii)    to confirm the validity of the Review Materials;

(iv)    to take any action or cause any other party to take any action under any of the Transaction Documents or otherwise to enforce any remedies against any person for breaches of Pool Asset Representations about the Subject Receivables; or

(v)    to establish cause, materiality or recourse for any Test Fail as described in Section 3.4.

 

6


Section 3.8.    Dispute Resolution. The Asset Representations Reviewer acknowledges and agrees that any Review Report may be used by the Issuer Trustee, the Manager, the US$ Note Trustee, the Security Trustee or the Servicer in any dispute resolution proceeding related to the Subject Receivables. No additional fees or reimbursement of expenses shall be paid to the Asset Representations Reviewer regarding the Issuer Trustee’s, the Manager’s, the US$ Note Trustee’s, the Security Trustee’s or the Servicer’s use of any Review Report; provided that the Asset Representations Reviewer will be reimbursed for its participation in any such proceeding in accordance with Section 4.3(d).

(c)    Maintenance of Review Materials. It will maintain copies of any Review Materials, Review Reports and other documents relating to an Asset Representations Review, including internal correspondence and work papers, for a period of two years after the termination of this Agreement or repayment of the Notes in full, whichever comes first.

Section 4.3.    Fees and Expenses.

(a)    Annual Fee. The Issuer Trustee will pay the Asset Representations Reviewer from the Assets of the Series Trust, as compensation for agreeing to act as the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, an annual fee in the amount of $7,500.00 (the “Annual Fee”). The Annual Fee will be paid in accordance with Section 4.3(f) until this Agreement is terminated.

 

8


(b)    Asset Representations Review Fee. Following the completion of an Asset Representations Review and the delivery to the Issuer Trustee, the Manager and the Servicer of the Review Report, or the termination of an Asset Representations Review according to Section 3.4(e), and the delivery to the Servicer of a detailed invoice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be entitled to a fee of $200.00 for each Subject Receivable (the “Review Fee”), payable by the Servicer. However, no Review Fee will be charged for any Tests that were performed in a prior Asset Representations Review or for any Asset Representations Review in which no Tests were completed prior to the Asset Representations Reviewer being notified of a termination of the Asset Representations Review in accordance with Section 3.4(f). If an Asset Representations Review is terminated in accordance with Section 3.4(f), the Asset Representations Reviewer must submit its invoice for the Review Fee to the Servicer for the terminated Asset Representations Review no later than five Business Days before the final Distribution Date in order to be reimbursed no later than the final Distribution Date in respect of the Series Trust.

(c)    [Reserved]

(d)    Dispute Resolution Expenses. If the Asset Representations Reviewer is called upon or required to participate in a dispute resolution proceeding described in Section 3.8, and its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for participating in the proceeding are not paid by a party to the dispute resolution within 90 calendar days after the end of the proceeding, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be reimbursed by the Servicer for such reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses in an amount not to exceed $25,000.00 in any calendar year. In the event any portion of such amount is not used in the current year, such portion will carry over into the following calendar year, provided that notwithstanding such carry over amount, the total amount to be reimbursed to the Asset Representations Reviewer for any calendar year will not exceed $50,000.00. Any such fees and expenses up to the stated and applicable maximum will be invoiced by the Asset Representations Reviewer and paid by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.3(f).

(e)    Payment of Fees, Expenses and Indemnities. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall submit reasonably detailed invoices to the Servicer for any amounts owed to it by the Servicer or the Issuer Trustee under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that such owed amounts are not paid in full by the Issuer Trustee, upon receipt of a detailed invoice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to payment by the Servicer of incurred but otherwise unpaid amounts.

(f)    Method of Payment. The initial Annual Fee will become due and payable by the Issuer Trustee from the Assets of the Series Trust on the initial Distribution Date, following receipt by the Issuer Trustee of a reasonably detailed invoice in respect thereof. Each other Annual Fee, and the amount of any properly invoiced fees, expenses or claims to be reimbursed or paid by the Issuer Trustee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, will become due and payable by the Issuer Trustee from the Assets of the Series Trust on the next Distribution Date occurring at least five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Issuer Trustee of the related invoice from the Asset Representations Reviewer, in each case in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 10.1 of the Series Supplement; provided that the Asset Representations Reviewer must submit its invoice for any outstanding fees, expenses or claims not later than ten (10) Business Days before the final Distribution Date in respect of the Series Trust. The Servicer shall provide notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer of the final Distribution Date at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date.

Section 4.4.    Limitation on Liability. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be liable to any person for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith under this Agreement or for errors in judgment. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be liable for its willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in performing its obligations under this Agreement. In no event will the Asset Representations Reviewer be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages (including lost profit), even if the Asset Representations Reviewer has been advised of the likelihood of the loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 4.5.    Indemnification by Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will indemnify each of the Issuer Trustee, the Manager and the Servicer and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) for all costs, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities (including any reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with the enforcement of any indemnification or other obligation of the Asset Representations Reviewer) resulting from (a) the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Asset Representations Reviewer in performing its obligations under this Agreement, (b) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s failure to comply with the requirements of applicable federal, state or local laws and regulations in the performance of its duties hereunder or (c) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations in this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this Section 4.5 will survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination of the Series Trust and the permitted resignation or removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer.

Section 4.6.    Indemnification of Asset Representations Reviewer.

(a)    Indemnification. The Issuer Trustee, solely from the Assets of the Series Trust, shall indemnify the Asset Representations Reviewer and its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), for all costs, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities resulting from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any loss, damage or liability), but excluding any cost,

 

10

(b)    Proceedings. Promptly on receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of a Proceeding against it, the Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made under Section 4.6(a), notify the Servicer, the Issuer Trustee and the Manager of the Proceeding. The Servicer or the Manager may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of a Proceeding at its expense. If the Servicer or the Manager notifies the Indemnified Person of its intention to assume the defense of the Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and so long as the Servicer or the Manager assumes the defense of the Proceeding in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, the Servicer and the Manager will not be liable for legal expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Servicer or the Manager, as applicable, and an Indemnified Person. If there is a conflict, the Servicer or the Manager will pay for the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Indemnified Person. No settlement of a Proceeding may be made without the approval of the Servicer and the Manager and the Indemnified Person, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 4.8.    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 Issuer Trustee and the Servicer, which may be withheld in such party’s sole discretion.

Section 4.9.    Confidential Information.

(a)    Treatment. The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees to hold and treat Confidential Information given to it under this Agreement in confidence and under the terms and conditions of this Section 4.9, and will implement and maintain safeguards to further assure the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. The Confidential Information will not, without the prior consent of the Manager and the Servicer, 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 Asset Representations Reviews of Subject Receivables or performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that it will not, and will cause its Affiliates to not (i) purchase or sell securities issued by Macquarie Leasing Pty Limited or its Affiliates or special purpose entities on the basis of Confidential Information or (ii) use the Confidential Information for the preparation of research reports, newsletters or other publications or similar communications.

(b)    Definition. “Confidential Information” means oral, written and electronic materials (irrespective of its source or form of communication) furnished before, on or after the date of this Agreement to the Asset Representations Reviewer for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, including:

(i)    lists of Subject Receivables and any related Review Materials;

(ii)    origination and servicing guidelines, policies and procedures, and form contracts; and

(iii)    notes, analyses, compilations, studies or other documents or records prepared by the Servicer, which contain information supplied by or on behalf of the Servicer or its representatives.

However, Confidential Information will not include information that (A) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Information Recipients, (B) was available to, or becomes available to, the Information Recipients on a non-confidential basis from a person or entity other than the Manager or the Servicer before its disclosure to the Information Recipients who, to the knowledge of the Information Recipient is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Manager or the Servicer and is not prohibited from transmitting the information to the Information Recipients, (C) is independently developed by the Information Recipients without the use of the Confidential Information, as shown by the Information Recipients’ files and records or other evidence in the Information Recipients’ possession or (D) the Manager or the Servicer provides permission to the applicable Information Recipients to release.

 

12


(c)    Protection. The Asset Representations Reviewer will use best efforts to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of Confidential Information, including those measures that it takes to protect its own confidential information and must exercise a reasonable standard of care. The Asset Representations Reviewer acknowledges that Personally Identifiable Information is also subject to the additional requirements in Section 4.10.

(d)    Disclosure. If the Asset Representations Reviewer is required by applicable law, regulation, rule or order issued by an administrative, governmental, regulatory or judicial authority to disclose part of the Confidential Information, it may disclose the Confidential Information. However, before a required disclosure, the Asset Representations Reviewer, if permitted by law, regulation, rule or order, will use its best efforts to provide the Issuer Trustee, the Manager and the Servicer with notice of the requirement and will cooperate, at the Servicer’s expense, in the Issuer Trustee’s, the Manager’s and the Servicer’s pursuit of a proper protective order or other relief for the disclosure of the Confidential Information. If the Issuer Trustee or the Servicer is unable to obtain a protective order or other proper remedy by the date that the information is required to be disclosed, the Asset Representations Reviewer will disclose only that part of the Confidential Information that it is advised by its legal counsel it is legally required to disclose.

(e)    Responsibility for Information Recipients. The Asset Representations Reviewer will be responsible for a breach of this Section 4.9 by its Information Recipients.

(f)    Violation. The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that a violation of this Agreement may cause irreparable injury to the Issuer Trustee, the Manager or the Servicer, and each of the Issuer Trustee, the Manager and the Servicer may seek injunctive relief in addition to legal remedies. If an action is initiated by the Issuer Trustee, the Manager or the Servicer to enforce this Section 4.9, the prevailing party will be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by it for the enforcement.

Section 4.10.    Personally Identifiable Information.

(a)    Definitions. “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. “Macquarie PII” means PII furnished by the Servicer or its Affiliates to the Asset Representations Reviewer and PII developed or otherwise collected or acquired by the Asset Representations Reviewer in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)    Use of Macquarie PII. The Servicer does not grant the Asset Representations Reviewer any rights to Macquarie PII except as provided in this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will use Macquarie PII only to perform its obligations under this Agreement or as specifically directed in writing by the Servicer and the Manager and will only reproduce Macquarie PII to the extent necessary for these purposes. The Asset Representations Reviewer must comply with all laws applicable to PII, Macquarie PII and the Asset Representations Reviewer’s business, including any legally required codes of conduct, including

 

13


those relating to privacy, security and data protection. The Asset Representations Reviewer will protect and secure Macquarie 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 Macquarie PII, (ii) ensure against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Macquarie PII, (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of Macquarie 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 4.10(b), the Asset Representations Reviewer’s disclosure of Macquarie PII is also subject to the following requirements:

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

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

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

(e)    Return or Disposal of Macquarie PII. Except where return or disposal is prohibited by applicable law, promptly on the earlier of the completion of the Asset Representations Review or the request of the Servicer or the Manager, all Macquarie 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 Manager or 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 Macquarie PII, the Asset Representations Reviewer will limit the Asset Representations Reviewer’s further use or disclosure of Macquarie PII to that required by applicable law.

(h)    Affiliates and Third Parties. If the Asset Representations Reviewer processes the Macquarie PII or the Servicer’s Affiliates or a third party when performing an Asset Representations 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 4.10, 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 4.10 against the Asset Representations Reviewer as if each were a signatory to this Agreement.
