Appointment of Successor (a) Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or the Servicer’s resignation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (i) the date sixty (60) days from the delivery to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer’s termination hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer, which shall be any established institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of receivables similar to the Receivables, and the Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment (including its appointment as Administrator under the Administration Agreement as set forth in Section 8.02(b)) by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Total Servicing Fee.

In connection therewith, the Indenture Trustee is authorized and empowered to offer such successor servicer compensation up to, but not in excess of, the Total Servicing Fee and other servicing compensation specified in this Agreement as payable to the initial Servicer.
