(e) At the direction of the Collateral Agent, solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, each Grantor shall grant to the Collateral Agent to the extent assignable, a non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral and now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor (subject to the rights of any person or entity under any pre-existing Copyright License, Patent License, Trademark License or other agreements). Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.1 shall require any Grantor to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach of default under or results in the termination of or gives rise to any right of acceleration, modification or cancellation under any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to a right to use or theretofore granted with respect to such property, provided, further, that such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the quality control standards applicable to each such Trademark as in effect as of the date such licenses hereunder are granted.
Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR LIBOR shall be calculated by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the definition of LIBOR. Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Securities Administrator will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination Date. The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks (after consultation with the Depositor). Each “Reference Bank” shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common control with, the Securities Administrator and shall have an established place of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to act as such or if the Securities Administrator should terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after consultation with the Depositor). The Securities Administrator shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control. The Interest Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator on each LIBOR Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. The Securities Administrator shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain quotations from the Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic mean referred to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided for in this Section 4.04 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and each Interest Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Securities Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.

The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
(b) In the event that the Seller is unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 9.02 or any court of competent jurisdiction ordering that the Seller not transfer any additional Principal Receivables to the Trust) then, in any such event, the Servicer agrees (i) to give prompt written notice thereof to any Enhancement Providers, any Agent and each Rating Agency and (ii) that it shall in any such event allocate after the occurrence of such event, payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account, subject to the proviso set forth in Section 2.06(b), and to have such payments applied as Collections in accordance with Section 4.

Thereafter, the Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may from time to time request in order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set forth above. The Seller hereby indemnifies the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Master Servicer or the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations by the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to this Section that result from any failure of the Seller to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, on a timely basis. The Master Servicer hereby indemnifies the Seller and the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Seller or the Trustee arising from the Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in preparing any of the federal, state and local tax returns of the REMIC as described above. In the event that the Trustee prepares any of the federal, state and local tax returns of the REMIC as described above, the Trustee hereby indemnifies the Seller and the Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Seller or the Master Servicer arising from the Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in connection with such preparation.
