If anypost-effective amendment to such registration statement has been filed with respect thereto, prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the most recent such amendments have been declared effective by the Commission. For purposes of this Agreement,“Effective Time” means the date and time as of which each such registration statement, or the most recentpost-effective amendment thereto, if any, was declared effective by the Commission, and“Effective Date” means the date of the Effective Time. Such registration statement, as amended at the Effective Time, including all material incorporated by reference therein and including all information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430D under the Act is referred to in this Agreement as the“Registration Statement.” The Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission not more than three years prior to the date hereof.

The Transferor proposes to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act (“Rule 424(b)”) a final prospectus (such final prospectus, in the form most recently revised and filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), together with any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, is hereinafter referred to as the“Prospectus”) relating to the Notes and the method of distribution thereof.

At or prior to [    :    ] [a.m.][p.m.] (New York City Time) on [            , 20    ] (the time the first Contract of Sale (as defined below) was entered into as designated by the Representatives (such time, the“Time of Sale”), the Transferor also had prepared a Preliminary Prospectus dated [            , 20    ], with respect to such Notes (together with the Additional Information, the“Time of Sale Information”).“Preliminary Prospectus” means, with respect to any date or time referred to herein, the most recent preliminary Prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if applicable), which has been prepared and delivered by the Transferor to the Representatives in accordance with the provisions hereof, together with the information referred to under the caption “Static Pool Information” therein regardless of whether it is deemed a part of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. “Additional Information” means information that is included in any road show presentation the Transferor has approved and the free writing prospectus dated [            , 20    ] with respect to the ratings on the Notes (the “Ratings FWP”).

-3-

necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the Transferor and the Bank have prepared and delivered to the Underwriters a Corrected Prospectus (as defined below), and as a result investors in the Notes elect to terminate their existing “Contracts of Sale” (within the meaning of Rule 159 under the Act) for any Notes and enter into new Contracts of Sale with the Underwriters, then “Time of Sale Information” will refer to the information conveyed to investors at the time of entry into the first such new Contract of Sale in an amended Preliminary Prospectus approved by the Transferor and the Representatives that has been filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(h) (“Rule 424(h)”) under the Act and that corrects such material misstatements or omissions (a“Corrected Prospectus”), together with the Additional Information, and “Time of Sale” will refer to the time and date on which such new Contracts of Sale were entered into.

As used herein, references to any “Free Writing Prospectus” shall mean a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 of the Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the Ratings FWP shall constitute a Free Writing Prospectus.

(ii)    The Trust Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Transferor and the Owner Trustee, enforceable against the Transferor and the Owner Trustee, in accordance with its terms.

(iii)    Under the Trust Act and the Trust Agreement, the execution and delivery of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, and the Indenture, the issuance of the Notes, and the granting of the Collateral to the Indenture Trustee as security for the Notes has been duly authorized by all necessary trust action on the part of the Issuer.

-24-

(iv)    Under the Trust Act and the Trust Agreement, the Issuer has (i) the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Administration Agreement, the Indenture and the Transfer and Servicing Agreement (collectively referred to in this subsection (h) as the “Trust Documents”) and the Notes, and (ii) duly authorized, executed and delivered the Administration Agreement, the Indenture, the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the Notes.

(v)    Neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of the Trust Documents or the Notes, nor the consummation by the Issuer of any of the transactions by the Issuer contemplated thereby, requires the consent or approval of, the withholding of objection on the part of, the giving of notice to, the filing, registration or qualification with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any governmental authority or agency of the State of Delaware, other than the filing of the certificate of trust with the Delaware Secretary of State which certificate of trust has been duly filed and the filing of any financing statements with the Delaware Secretary of State in connection with the Indenture.

(vi)    Neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of the Trust Documents, nor the consummation by the Issuer of the transactions contemplated thereby, is in violation of the Trust Agreement or of any law, rule, or regulation of the State of Delaware applicable to the Issuer.

(vii)    Under Section 3805(b) of the Act, no creditor of the holder of the beneficial interest in the Trust shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of the Issuer except in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.

(viii)    Under Section 3808(a) and (b) of the Act, the Issuer may not be terminated or revoked by the holder of the beneficial interest in the Issuer, and the dissolution, termination or bankruptcy of the holder of the beneficial interest in the Issuer shall not result in the termination or dissolution of the Issuer, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement.

(ix)    The Owner Trustee is not required to hold legal title to the Trust Estate in order for the Issuer to qualify as a statutory trust under the Act.

(j)    The Representatives shall have received an opinion of [                    ], counsel to the Indenture Trustee dated the Closing Date, satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and their counsel, to the effect that:

(i)    The Indenture Trustee is a national banking association duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the federal laws of the United States of America.

-25-

(ii)    The Indenture Trustee has duly authorized, executed and delivered [each of] the Indenture[, the Class B Note Purchase Agreement and the Class C Note Purchase Agreement]. [Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, the Class B Note Purchase Agreement and the Class C Note Purchase Agreement are the legal, valid and binding agreements of the Indenture Trustee, enforceable in accordance with their terms against the Indenture Trustee].

(iii)    Subject to the following sentence, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture [or the Class B Note Purchase Agreement or the Class C Note Purchase Agreement] in any court of the State of New York or in any federal court sitting in the State of New York, the choice of the law of Nebraska in the Indenture[, the Class B Note Purchase Agreement and the Class C Note Purchase Agreement] is valid except to the extent that giving effect to the law of Nebraska would violate a fundamental policy of (i) the State of New York or (ii) any other jurisdiction having a materially greater interest than Nebraska in the determination of the issue, if the law of that jurisdiction would apply to the Indenture[, the Class B Note Purchase Agreement or the Class C Note Purchase Agreement] or any of the provisions thereof in the absence of a governing law clause. In addition, we have assumed for the purposes of this opinion that in selecting Nebraska law the parties are acting in good faith and without an intent to evade the law.

(iv)    If, notwithstanding the parties’ express choice of Nebraska law addressed in paragraph (iii) above, a court of the State of New York or a federal court sitting in the State of New York were to construe the Indenture [or the Class B Note Purchase Agreement or the Class C Note Purchase Agreement] under New York law, such court would find the Indenture [and the Class B Note Purchase Agreement or the Class C Note Purchase Agreement (as applicable)] to be the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Indenture Trustee, enforceable in accordance with its terms against the Indenture Trustee.

(v)    The Notes have been duly authenticated by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement.

(vi)    Neither the authentication of the Notes, nor the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Indenture, [the Class B Note Purchase Agreement or the Class C Note Purchase Agreement,] does now, or will hereafter, conflict with, result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under (1) the Indenture Trustee’s organizational documents, (2) any applicable law governing the banking or trust powers of Indenture Trustee, (3) to our knowledge, any judicial or governmental judgment, decree, injunction or order that is binding on the Indenture Trustee and that would materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under the Agreements, or (4) to our knowledge, the terms of any material agreement or instrument to which the Indenture Trustee is a party or by which it is bound.

-26-

(vii)    Neither the authentication of the Notes, nor the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Indenture, [the Class B Note Purchase Agreement or the Class C Note Purchase Agreement,] does now, or will hereafter, result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Collateral or the Trust Estate established pursuant to the Indenture, except for any such lien, charge or encumbrance created by the Indenture[, the Class B Note Purchase Agreement or the Class C Note Purchase Agreement].

(viii)    No consent, license, approval or authorization of, or filing or registration with, any New York or federal court or governmental authority, bureau or agency is required to be obtained that has not been obtained by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Indenture Trustee of the Agreements, including the authentication and delivery of the Notes as provided in the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement.

(k)    The Representatives shall have received reliance letters addressed to the Representatives, dated as of the Closing Date, allowing the Representatives to rely on each opinion of counsel delivered to a Hired NRSRO, the Indenture Trustee, the Transferor or the Bank in connection with the issuance of the Notes and not addressed to the Representatives.

(l)    The Representatives shall have received evidence satisfactory to the Representatives that the Notes shall have obtained the ratings indicated in the Ratings FWP from the Hired NRSROs named therein.

(m)    The Transferor will furnish the Representatives with such conformed copies of the above and such other opinions, certificates, information, letters and documents as the Representatives or their counsel reasonably request.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 7 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Representatives, this Agreement and all obligations of the Representatives hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives.

SECTION 8. REIMBURSEMENTOF EXPENSES.

The Transferor agrees to pay all costs and expenses in connection with the transaction herein contemplated (whether or not consummated), including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: all costs and expenses (i) incident to the preparation, issuance, execution, authentication and delivery of the Notes, (ii) incident to the qualification of the Notes for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as either Representative designates, (iii) for any filing fee of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. relating to the Notes, (iv) incident to the preparation, printing (including word processing and duplication costs) and delivery of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, including any Corrected Prospectus,

and, including in each case all exhibits, amendments, attachments and supplements thereto, (v) in connection with the printing (including word processing and duplication costs) and delivery of this Agreement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus (including any Corrected Prospectus), the Transaction Documents and the furnishing to the Representatives of copies of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (including any Corrected Prospectus) as herein provided, (vi) constituting the fees and disbursements of the Representatives’ counsel and the Bank’s and the Transferor’s counsel and accountants, (vii) payable to each Hired NRSRO in connection with the ratings of the Notes and (viii) in connection with the structuring and marketing of the Notes (and any other miscellaneous expenses in connection therewith);provided that the Representatives shall not be obligated to pay any expenses of a defaulting Representative.

SECTION 9. INDEMNIFICATIONAND CONTRIBUTION.

(a)    The Transferor and the Bank, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each Person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Underwriters or any of them may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Preliminary Prospectus, (iii) the Prospectus or (iv) any Additional Information, or other information provided by the Transferor or the Bank to any holder or prospective purchaser of the Notes, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however,that Transferor and the Bank will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information;provided further,that such indemnity with respect to any Corrected Statement (as defined below) in such Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or related Indemnified Party) from whom the person asserting any loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the Notes that are the subject thereof if (i) the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in a Prospectus was corrected (a“Corrected Statement”) in a Corrected Prospectus, (ii) the Transferor gave such Underwriter prompt written notice of the need for a Corrected Prospectus, and (iii) the Transferor furnished sufficient copies of such Corrected Prospectus to such Underwriter sufficiently prior to the delivery of the confirmation of the sale of such Notes so as to allow a reasonable time for such Underwriter to deliver such Corrected Prospectus to such investor, but such Underwriter did not furnish such Corrected Prospectus to such investor prior to the delivery of such confirmation. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Transferor or the Bank may otherwise have.

-28-

(b)    Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Transferor, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Transferor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Transferor may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information with respect to such Underwriter; and will reimburse any actual legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Transferor and the Bank in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred;provided, however,that in no case shall any Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the Underwriter’s discounts or commission applicable to the Notes to be sold by such Underwriter hereunder.

(c)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action or the assertion by a third party of a claim, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not (i) relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party except and to the extent of any material prejudice to such indemnifying party arising from such failure to provide such notice and (ii) in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party),provided, however,that if (x) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest which, if such counsel had been retained, would have required such counsel to withdraw from such representation, (y) the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or to other indemnified parties, or (z) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after receipt by the indemnifying party of notice of the institution of such action or proceeding, then, in each such case, (1) the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties, (2) such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties (provided that, if more than one indemnified party is subject to the circumstances described in clause (y), then, to the extent permitted by the rules of professional conduct applicable to attorneys, all such indemnified parties shall be represented

-29-

by one such separate counsel) and (3) all costs and expenses of each such indemnified party in connection with such action or proceeding shall be paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation unless, (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with this sentence or (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(d)    If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Transferor and the Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Notes, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Transferor and the Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;provided, however,that in no event shall any Underwriter be responsible in the aggregate for any amount in excess of the Underwriter’s discount or commission applicable to the Notes to be sold by such Underwriter hereunder. The relative benefits received by the Transferor and the Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) of the Notes received by the Transferor bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Notes. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Transferor or the Bank or the Underwriters. The Transferor, the Bank and the Representatives agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

-30-

(e)    The obligations of the Transferor and the Bank under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Transferor or the Bank may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each Person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, and agent of an Underwriter and each such Person shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriter; and the obligations of any Underwriter under this Section shall be in addition to any liability that such Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Transferor or the Bank, to each officer of the Transferor or the Bank who has signed the Registration Statement and to each Person, if any, who controls the Transferor or the Bank within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, and agent of Transferor or Bank and each such Person shall have the same rights to contribution as the Transferor or Bank, as applicable.

SECTION 10. SURVIVALOF CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONSAND OBLIGATIONS.

The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Transferor and the Bank or their officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, the Transferor, the Bank or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. If this Agreement is terminated or if for any reason other than default by the Underwriters the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Transferor and the Bank shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid by them pursuant to Section 8 and the respective obligations of the Transferor, the Bank and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 9 shall remain in effect.

(b)    Each Underwriter (severally and not jointly) further represents, warrants and agrees that (i) it has, in the United Kingdom, only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes in circumstances under which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Issuer; and (ii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 12, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter for its liability, if any, to the Transferor and the Bank and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
