as an initial payment to a replacement Hedge Counterparty, the Administrator will direct the Indenture Trustee to retain such amounts and will provide the Indenture Trustee with written instructions regarding the application and payment of such amounts.  If a Hedge Counterparty is required to collateralize the related Interest Rate Hedge, the Administrator will coordinate with the Indenture Trustee the establishment of collateral accounts, the holding of securities deposited therein and the investment of any cash deposited therein.

(d)           The Administrator will provide the Rating Agencies with a copy of any proposed amendment or supplement to any Interest Rate Hedge at least five days prior to the effective date of such amendment or supplement.  Such proposed amendment or supplement will be effective only after satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, unless such amendment or supplement clarifies any term or provision, corrects any inconsistency, cures any ambiguity or corrects any typographical error in such Interest Rate Hedge.

(e)           If the Administrator is designated as the Calculation Agent (as such term is defined in any Interest Rate Hedge) pursuant to any Interest Rate Hedge, it will perform such calculations and duties with respect to such Interest Rate Hedge.  The Administrator will calculate and notify each Hedge Counterparty and the Indenture Trustee of the notional amount of the applicable Interest Rate Hedge as of each Payment Date on or before the 12th day of the month in which such Payment Date occurs.  The Administrator will also obtain the determination of LIBOR from the Calculation Agent under the Indenture, will calculate the amount of all payments, receipts and termination payments payable on each Payment Date and will notify each Hedge Counterparty and the Indenture Trustee of such amounts prior to such Payment Date.

6

covered by any of the foregoing provisions and that are expressly requested by the Owner Trustee and are reasonably within the capability of the Administrator.

(c)           The Administrator will be responsible for performing the duties of the Owner Trustee set forth in Section 2.11 of the Trust Agreement, except that if the Owner Trustee is notified by the Administrator that the Issuer is deemed to be taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Owner Trustee will retain responsibility for the distribution to the Depositors and the holders of the Depositor Interest such information as may be required to enable the Depositor and any such holder to prepare its U.S. federal and State income tax returns.

(d)           The Administrator will be responsible for notifying the Owner Trustee if any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payments (or allocations of income) to the holders of the Depositor Interest as contemplated by Section 4.1(c) of the Trust Agreement, the amount of any withholding tax required to be withheld by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1(c) of the Trust Agreement and the procedures to be followed to comply with the requirements under the Code.  The Administrator will notify the Owner Trustee in each instance that any additional tax withholding is subsequently required or any previously required tax withholding is no longer required.

(e)           The Administrator will perform the duties of the Administrator specified in Sections 7.2, 7.3 and 9.2 of the Trust Agreement required to be performed in connection with the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and any other duties required to be performed by the Administrator pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

(f)            The Administrator will either prepare, execute and deliver, or will direct the Servicer or the Depositors, as applicable, to prepare, execute and deliver, on behalf of the Issuer all certificates and other documents required to be delivered by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

(g)           Upon final distribution of any funds to the holders of the Depositor Interest, the Administrator will direct the Owner Trustee to cause the Certificate of Trust to be cancelled in accordance with Section 8.1(c) of the Trust Agreement.

Section 3.5.           Audits of the Administrator.  The Administrator will, upon reasonable prior notice, permit any authorized representative of the Issuer, the Depositors, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, during the Administrator’s normal business hours, to examine and audit the books of account, records, reports and other documents and materials of the Administrator relating to the performance of the Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement.  In addition, the Administrator will permit such representatives to make copies and extracts of any such books and records and to discuss the same with the Administrator’s officers and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may reasonably be requested.  Each of the Issuer, the Depositors, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee will, and will cause its authorized representatives to, hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that such party, may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations under this Agreement.

7

Section 3.6.Additional Information to be Furnished to the Issuer.  The Administrator will furnish to the Issuer such additional information regarding the Collateral as the Issuer may reasonably request.

ARTICLE IV

(b)The Depositors and the Administrator will, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Owner Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Owner Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts) incurred by it in connection with the administration of and the performance of its duties under the Trust Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any loss, damage, claim or liability incurred by it in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under the Indenture, but excluding any cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or liability (i) incurred by the Owner Trustee through the Owner Trustee’s own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment) or (ii) arising from the Owner Trustee’s breach of any of its representations or warranties set forth in the Trust Agreement.

8

Proceeding.  The Depositors or the Administrator may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of any such Proceeding at its expense, and no settlement of such Proceeding may be made without the approval of the Depositor or the Administrator and such Indemnified Person, which approvals will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  After notice from the Depositors or the Administrator to the Indemnified Person of the Depositors’ or the Administrator’s intention to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and so long as the Depositors or the Administrator so assumes the defense of such Proceeding in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, as applicable, the Depositors or the Administrator will not be liable for any legal expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Depositors or the Administrator and an Indemnified Person, in which case the Depositors or the Administrator will pay for the separate counsel to the Indemnified Person which is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator.  The obligations of the Administrator under this Article IV will survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.3.Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended by a written amendment executed and delivered by the Issuer, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Owner Trustee, without the consent of the Noteholders, so long as the Issuer or the Administrator delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner

10

Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders.  This Agreement also may be amended by the Issuer, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Owner Trustee and the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of each Series; provided that no such amendment may reduce the percentage of the Noteholders required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of each Noteholder adversely affected.
