Huntington agrees that for so long as Huntington is the Servicer, the Servicing Standard shall be consistent in all material respects with the servicing standards with respect to dealer-originated motor vehicle loans, for which Huntington or any of its affiliates is the owner or the appointed servicer from time to time.

(b) The Servicer’s duties shall include the collection and posting of all payments on the Conveyed Assets, responding to inquiries of Loan Obligors, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Loan Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Loan Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions and performing the other duties specified herein.

If the Servicer commences or participates in any such legal proceeding in its own name, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuing Entity shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned the applicable Conveyed Asset to the Servicer, solely for purposes of commencing or participating in such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuing Entity to execute and deliver in the Indenture Trustee’s or the Issuing Entity’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce the rights of the Issuing Entity under the contract on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such rights, the Owner Trustee shall, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such rights, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall upon the written request of the Servicer furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

(e) For all purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(b) (i) The Servicer may grant payment extensions and holidays on the Loans in accordance with the Servicing Standard and as required by law; provided, however, that no such extension shall extend the final payment date on any Loan beyond the last day of the Collection Period ending six months prior to the Payment Date occurring in the Final Scheduled Payment Date of the Notes, and (ii) upon any extension of a Loan not in accordance with Section

(a) Consistent with the Servicing Standard (and subject to clause (b) below), the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of and liquidate any Financed Vehicle securing a Loan with respect to which the Servicer shall have determined that eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer shall begin such repossession and conversion procedures as soon as practicable after default on such Loan in accordance with its customary procedures in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that the Servicer will not repossess a Financed Vehicle within such time period if it calculates that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Loan would be increased by forbearance. In repossessing or otherwise converting the ownership of a Financed Vehicle and liquidating a Loan, the Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as it shall reasonably deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the Servicing Standard, which practices and procedures may include the sale of the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale, the submission of claims under an insurance policy and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon a Loan; provided, however, that if the Servicer is unable to liquidate a Loan within sixty (60) days of repossessing or otherwise converting the ownership of a Financed Vehicle, the Servicer shall purchase from the Issuing Entity the Financed Vehicle in the manner set forth in Section 4.07, provided, further, that in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its reasonable judgment that such repair or repossession shall increase the related Liquidation Proceeds by an amount materially greater than the expense for such repair or repossession. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all expenses incurred by it that are reasonably allocated to repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only out of the cash proceeds of the sale of such Financed Vehicle or any deficiency obtained from the related Loan Obligor.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 4.05. Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles; Other Amounts.

(a) The Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, take such steps as are necessary to maintain the perfection of the security interest created by each Loan in the related Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Loan to the Issuing Entity is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the State in which such Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, each of the Servicer and Huntington hereby agree that the designation of Huntington as the secured party on such certificate of title shall only be in its capacity as agent of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee.

Section 5.05. LIBOR Calculation.

(a) For so long as the Floating Rate Notes remain outstanding, LIBOR with respect to each Interest Period other than the first Interest Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent on each LIBOR Determination Date and reported to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee on each LIBOR Determination Date as soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the following basis:

	43
Sale and Servicing Agreement

(i) On each LIBOR Determination Date LIBOR will be the offered quotation to leading banks for one-month U.S. dollar deposits in the London interbank market which appears on Reuters Telerate Page 3750 at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date in question

(ii) If on any LIBOR Determination Date the rate for one-month deposits in U.S. dollars does not appear on Reuters Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which one-month deposits in U.S. dollars are offered by four prime banks in the London interbank market (which may include the Calculation Agent) reasonably selected by the Calculation Agent (the “Reference Banks”), at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations rounded to four decimal places. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of rates quoted by at least two major banks in New York City (which may include the New York City offices of the Calculation Agent), reasonably selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such LIBOR Determination Date for one month loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks in a principal amount equal to not less than U.S. $1,000,000; provided, however, that if fewer than two Reference Banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting rates as mentioned above, LIBOR shall be the rate in effect for the previous Interest Period.

For the sake of clarity it is understood and agreed that the mechanism for determining LIBOR described in clause (i) above is intended to conform to the definition of “USD-LIBOR-BBA” contained in the ISDA Definitions and the mechanism for determining an alternate floating rate as the LIBOR as described in clause (ii) above is intended to conform to the definition of “USD-LIBOR-Reference Banks” contained in the ISDA Definitions with a “designated maturity” of one month.

(b) The Calculation Agent shall, on each LIBOR Determination Date, determine the Interest Rate and the amount of interest accrued on the Class A Noteholders’ Interest Carryover Shortfall for such LIBOR Determination Date with respect to the Floating Rate Notes and round the resultant figure to the nearest U.S. $0.01 (U.S. $0.005 being rounded upwards) to arrive at the related Class A Noteholders’ Monthly Accrued Interest for such Payment Date. In the event that the Calculation Agent shall fail to calculate the LIBOR, the Indenture Trustee shall calculate the LIBOR and related Class A Noteholders’ Monthly Accrued Interest in accordance with the provision above.

(c) The Calculation Agent shall cause the related Class A Noteholders’ Monthly Accrued Interest to be made known to each of the Issuing Entity, the Servicer, [the Cap Counterparty], the Indenture Trustee and the Registrar no later than the Business Day prior to each Payment Date or as otherwise required by the Indenture Trustee.

(d) All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this Section 5.05 by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of willful misconduct, bad faith

	44
Sale and Servicing Agreement

or manifest error) be binding on the Issuing Entity and all of the Noteholders and no liability shall attach to the Calculation Agent (or the Indenture Trustee, in the event that the Calculation Agent fails to calculate any Interest Rate) in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties and discretion.

On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement automatically shall pass to, be vested in and become obligations and responsibilities of, either the Indenture Trustee (if the Indenture Trustee becomes the successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.03) or the successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.03; provided, however, that such successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation that was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that such successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(c) The successor Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Loans, and related documents to show the Indenture Trustee (or the Issuing Entity if the Notes have been Paid In Full) as lienholder or secured party on the related certificates of title of the Financed Vehicles or otherwise. The terminated Servicer agrees to cooperate with the successor Servicer and with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement, including (i) the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all money and property held by the terminated Servicer with respect to the Conveyed Assets and other records relating to the Conveyed Assets, including any portion of any Loan File, held by the terminated Servicer and a reasonably current computer tape in readable form containing all information necessary to enable the successor Servicer to service the Conveyed Assets, (ii) the prompt transfer of any remaining amounts relating to Conveyed Assets in the possession of the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee, (iii) the notification of existing Loan Obligors of the new address for payment, and (iv) the prompt remittance of any future amounts received by the Servicer with respect to Conveyed Assets to the successor. The terminated Servicer shall also provide the successor Servicer access to personnel and computer records of such terminated Person in order to facilitate the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing duties.

Section 8.03. Appointment of Successor Servicer.

(a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.02 or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.06, the Indenture

	63
Sale and Servicing Agreement

Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the rights, responsibilities, restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating to the Servicer except as otherwise stated herein. Each party hereto shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. If such a successor is acting as Servicer, it shall be subject to termination under Section 8.01(a) upon the occurrence of any Servicer Replacement Event after its appointment as successor Servicer.

(b) If (i) the Controlling Class does not desire that the Indenture Trustee act as Servicer or (ii) the Indenture Trustee is legally unable to act, or shall choose not to act as Servicer, Noteholders holding a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may exercise at any time the right to direct the appointment of any Eligible Servicer as the successor to the Servicer, and shall have no liability to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor, any Noteholders or any other Person if it does so. Notwithstanding the above, if the Controlling Class does not act, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at least 25% of the Note Balance may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any Eligible Servicer as the successor to the Servicer, provided that for purposes of computing the foregoing percentage, any Notes held by Huntington or any of its Affiliates shall be disregarded. Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding sentence, the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account and remit to the successor Servicer or such other party entitled thereto all reasonably incurred Servicer transition costs.

(c) Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to its predecessor and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on its predecessor, and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee as and to the extent provided for in this Agreement and all the rights granted to the predecessor in such capacity by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and any other applicable Basic Document.

Section 8.04. Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders and each Rating Agency.

Section 8.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Noteholders holding a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive in writing any default by the Servicer. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Replacement Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

(a) The Servicer shall have the right at its option (the “Optional Purchase”) to purchase the trust estate [(other than the Reserve Account)] from the Issuing Entity on any Payment Date if both of the following conditions are satisfied: (a) as of the last day of the related Collection Period, the Net Pool Balance has declined to 10% or less of the Net Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date and (b) the sum of the Optional Purchase Price and Available Funds for such Payment Date would be sufficient to pay (x) the amounts required to be paid under clauses [first] through [fifth] and [seventh] of Section 5.06(a) (assuming that such Payment Date is not a Redemption Date) and (y) the Outstanding Note Balance (after giving effect to the payments described in the preceding clause (x)). The purchase price for the trust estate [(other than the Reserve Account)] (the “Optional Purchase Price”) shall equal the Net Pool Balance as of the related Payment Date plus interest accrued but unpaid through the last day of the related Collection Period, which amount shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account on the Redemption Date. If the Servicer exercises the Optional Purchase, the Notes shall be redeemed and in each case in whole but not in part on the related Payment Date for the Redemption Price.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01. Amendment.

(b) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Loan Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity and the Noteholders holding a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, however, that this Agreement (i) may not be amended in any way that would materially and adversely affect the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement, the other Basic Documents or otherwise without the prior written consent of such Person; or (ii) significantly change the permitted activities or powers of the Issuing Entity even if such amendment would not have an adverse effect on the Holders of the Notes, without the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Note Balance.

(c) Promptly after the execution of any amendment or consent, the Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency.

(d) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

Section 10.02. Protection of Title to Trust.

(a) The Servicer shall execute and file such financing statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation statements, or take such other actions all in such a manner and in such places as may be required by law or as shall be necessary to fully preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee in the Conveyed Assets, [the Interest Rate Cap Agreement] and the proceeds thereof. The Issuing Entity hereby authorizes the filing of financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby “all

	66
Sale and Servicing Agreement

assets of the debtor, including all personal property of the debtor” or words to that effect, and any limitations on such collateral description, notwithstanding that such collateral description may be broader in scope than the Conveyed Assets described in this Sale and Servicing Agreement. All financing statements filed or to be filed against in connection with this Sale and Servicing Agreement describing the Conveyed Assets shall contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of, or a security interest in, any of the collateral covered by this financing statement will violate the rights of the secured party.” The Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above as soon as available following such filing.

(b) Neither the Depositor, Loan Seller, nor the Servicer shall change its name, identity or limited liability company or corporate structure, as applicable, in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading under Section 9-506 or 9-507 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at least forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements.

(c) Each of the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and Huntington shall have an obligation to give the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement, and shall promptly file any such amendment or new financing statement. The Servicer shall at all times maintain each office from which it shall service Loans, and its principal executive office, within the United States of America.

(d) The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to each Conveyed Asset accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of each such Conveyed Asset, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on or with respect to each such Conveyed Asset and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of each such Conveyed Asset.

(e) The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale of the Conveyed Assets under this Agreement, the Servicer’s master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Conveyed Asset shall be coded to reflect that such Conveyed Asset is part of the portfolio of Loans that is the subject of this Agreement and is held by the Indenture Trustee for Huntington Auto Trust 20[ ]-[ ]. Indication of such inclusion of a Conveyed Asset in the portfolio shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer’s computer systems when, and only when, the related Conveyed Asset shall have been Paid In Full or repurchased or reallocated, as the case may be.

(f) If at any time the Depositor or Huntington shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, such prospective purchaser, if any, provides that any computer tapes, records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that refer in

Sale and Servicing Agreement (Exhibit C)

calls start as early as 1 day past due depending on the account level strategy. First payment default loans must be called between the fifth and tenth day. Contact per account ratios and call penetration rates to be actively managed.

Customer contact inquiries will be made to determine and provide the reason(s) for default including but not limited to status of employment and household income, status of insurance on and location and condition of collateral if applicable.

Collection actions and contact attempts will be taken in accordance with collection strategies as often as necessary and at various times of the day, evening, and weekend in compliance with applicable law.

Accounts with no contact after 10 days (or earlier, if there is no phone number in service for the related Account) will be escalated to manual review to determine on-going strategy. If account has still not been contacted through the dialer, account will be assigned to an off-dialer collection resource for the purpose of a direct scheduled calling sequence that may include a targeted call period (evenings, weekends, breaks, etc.). This process will occur approximately 17-20 days after scheduled due date.

At any stage (either by on-dialer recognition or through off-dialer review) the account can be forwarded to an off-dialer resource or to a supervisor. No promise in excess of ten days will be allowed. An account is currently considered a broken promise 3 days after the date made. Advanced collection resources will become involved if the customer has broken an existing promise to pay. These resources will work the account within two business days after the broken promise. In special circumstances, the account can be issued directly to supervisor for review for repossession, or to the skip department for advance location review. Broken promises are sent to a specific queue and will be prioritized in CACS to maximize the next day call rate.

Skip tracing will commence as soon as indicated (telephone disconnected, mail returned), and no later than 10 days after no contact. Making borrower contacts attempts based on information obtained through methods such as credit reports, internet services, place of employment and co-▇▇▇▇▇▇ information, door knocks, etc. If all account information is still considered to be valid, account will be placed back into the dialer for 2nd random call sequencing.

Mid-Stage and Front-end Collections:

A supervisor reviews most accounts that progress to beyond 30-days delinquent, or that have been referred to the supervisor by the collector due to an adverse situation or unacceptable customer request. Generally, no accounts (other than, potentially, accounts with a balance of less than $2,500) will remain in front-end collections for longer than 45 days.

For accounts 30 or more days past due, continued regular phone attempts to contact the Borrower will be made.

Customers 30 or more days past due will be requested to send payments via overnight mail,through an automatic payment service, or through a local branch.

Exclusive of any on-line automated late notices, the collection resource will have the ability to generate an on-line collection letter to the debtor. These notices to range from a friendly

Sale and Servicing Agreement (Exhibit C)

reminder to a firm demand letter based upon the severity of the delinquency and the history of the account.

Account will remain in the collection resource’s queue with a follow-up code. This code will only be changed if the customer makes a payment, or the collection resource performs an action on the account. Accounts are typically sorted based upon the oldest follow-up date and the outstanding balance of delinquency. Account follow-up should not exceed two business days without the account being reviewed.

Between the 45th and 60th day of delinquency of accounts where no payment arrangements have been made, Servicer may order a current credit bureau report, verify title lien, obtain a current value of the collateral, and order a copy of the Contract as needed.

The supervisor can submit the account for repossession during the standard review process, or during special request by the off-dialer collection resource. This will occur when the account has progressed to approximately 55 days, but no more than 70 days contractually delinquent, but may occur at any time based upon the supervisor’s/portfolio manager’s determination.

Advance Collections:

Late Stage Collectors will be dedicated to collect accounts at or near 45 days contractually delinquent. No more than 200 accounts will be assigned to any one Late Stage Collector at any one time.

Advance collections include:

●	Accounts that are skip and cannot be located

●	Accounts that have broken multiple promises to pay without activity by the customer

●	Accounts that are out for repossession or liquidation

●	Accounts with pending insurance activity

For most accounts that becomes 60 days past due, a supervisor shall review the account and determine and execute a collection strategy. Strategies will be based upon the borrowers ability to pay, delinquency status, payment history and the asset’s value/location. If it is not conceivable that arrangements can be made to bring the customer current over a period of time through a repayment plan or extension (in accordance with the agreed upon procedures), the supervisor will submit the account to the collateral management group for review for asset liquidation.

The account is placed into a special queue, where a mini-skip routine is performed to secure the whereabouts of the asset prior to assigning the account for repossession. This process is designed to expedite the recovery and sale process, and minimizes acquisition and storage costs. A decision to recover and liquidate the asset is made and the account is passed to the Asset Recovery and Remarketing team.

The Asset Recovery and Remarketing team within collections will examine the collateral type and value, and make an evaluation as to the time necessary to liquidate the asset, and estimate the potential selling price prior to the final decision to liquidate.

Sale and Servicing Agreement (Exhibit C)

Servicer will charge off accounts from the applicable Accounting System at the earliest of:

i)	when the account is deemed uncollectible, or
ii)	when the asset has been sold and proceeds received, or
iii)	60 days after repossession, if the asset is still in inventory, or
iv)	by the end of the month during which a loan becomes 120 days past due
	and is not in repossession inventory, or
v)	by the end of the month during which a loan becomes 180 days past due.

Un-recovered balances will be charged off promptly after collateral liquidation and receipt of funds. Servicing functions supporting the collection, repossession and remarketing, or securing of insurance or other proceeds due on the account will continue regardless of the charge off designation. Servicing and Accounting systems, reports and data files must contain an identifier for Repossession, and/or Charge-off status.

In cases of loan default and charge offs only, Servicer will apply for and use reasonable efforts to realize upon insurance proceeds, including GAP insurance and rebates on insurance and warranty policies in order to mitigate the loss incurred. In all other cases, customers will be directed to the originating dealership for cancellations, refunds, and all other insurance and warranty matters.

Accounts in repossession and bankruptcy status remain in special queues that are not accessed by the general collection resources unless redemption, reaffirmation, dismissal, or other action has occurred which would qualify the account for general collection processing.

Repossession:

Servicer will maintain a repossession and remarketing network and contract with such third party service providers.

Contracts assigned for repossession shall be handled in accordance with the following standards and procedures:

●	Verify lien on title.

●	Order copy of contract and original title, if appropriate.

●	Complete assignment to repossessor with borrower and collateral information within 48 hours of receipt in repossession department.

●	Follow up with repossessor on progress weekly.

Account collection activities will continue after charge-off by following recovery procedures in accordance with this Agreement. The scope of these practices will range from Servicer in-house recovery efforts, outsourced recovery efforts, or sales of the account. These actions are determined by Huntington’s internal Recovery scorecard. And in any case, all proceeds net of expenses are applied to the charged-off account for the benefit of the Purchaser.

Accounts may be outsourced to a collection agency immediately following charge-off as determined by Huntington’s recovery scorecard. Accounts with respect to which such a determination is made will typically be maintained in-house for no more than 180 days and will be managed by Huntington Agency Management Specialists. If in-house efforts will exceed 180 days the Supervisor of the unit will review the account and fully document the situation with his or her approval.

All collection agencies will be audited on a quarterly basis. Every such agency is required to adhere to the Huntington MARS Guidelines.

Accounts that are not immediately outsourced to a collection agency will be identified with one of the following “Excluded Status Codes:

●	PPA - Accounts that are coded with a PPA Status Code, (Promise to Pay) will be excluded from the Recovery Score Strategy. Accounts may exceed 180 days in-house provided scheduled monthly payments are being made. Reduced costs to the investors and customer service are best practices.

●

●

FRD - Accounts that are coded with a FRD Status Code (Fraud), will be excluded from the Recovery Score Strategy. Huntington Fraud Investigators and/or Bank Security will handle investigation and recovery efforts. In some cases litigation and/or prosecution will be necessary.

Huntington Litigation Specialists will work with in-house or outside counsel to defend any actions brought against the bank.
