Accounting and Reports to the Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue Service and Others The Administrator shall deliver to each Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, or as may be requested by such Certificateholder, such information, reports or statements as may be necessary to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. Consistent with the Trust’s characterization for tax purposes as a disregarded entity so long as the Depositor or any other Person is the sole Certificateholder, no federal income tax return shall be filed on behalf of the Trust unless either (i) the Owner Trustee shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel that, based on a change in applicable law occurring after the date hereof, or as a result of a transfer permitted by Section 3.04, the Code requires such a filing or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service shall determine that the Trust is required to file such a return. In the event that there shall be two or more beneficial owners of the Trust, the Administrator shall inform the Indenture Trustee in writing of such event, (x) the Administrator shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared federal and, if applicable, state or local partnership tax returns, with all such necessary information provided to it, required to be filed by the Trust and shall remit such returns to the Depositor (or if the Depositor no longer owns any Certificates, the Certificateholder designated for such purpose by the Depositor to the Owner Trustee in writing) at least (5) days before such returns are due to be filed, and (y) capital accounts shall be maintained by the Administrator for each Certificateholder in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code reflecting each such Certificateholder’s share of the income, gains, deductions, and losses of the Trust and/or guaranteed payments made by the Trust and contributions to, and distributions from, the Trust. The Depositor (or such designee Certificateholder, as applicable) shall promptly sign such returns and deliver such returns after signature to the Administrator and such returns shall be filed by the Administrator with the appropriate tax authorities. In the event that a “tax matters partner” (within the meaning of Code Section 6231(a)(7)) is required to be appointed with respect to the Trust, the Depositor or its designee is hereby designated as tax matters partner or, if the Depositor is not a Certificateholder, the Certificateholder selected by a majority of the Certificateholders (by Percentage Interest) shall be designated as tax matters partner. In no event shall the Certificateholder or the Depositor (or such designee Certificateholder, as applicable) be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust or the Noteholders arising out of the application of any tax law, including federal, state, foreign or local income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest, penalty or addition with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith) except for any such liability, cost or expense attributable to any negligent act or omission by the Owner Trustee or the Depositor (or such designee Certificateholder, as applicable), as the case may be, in breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

Independent Managers Of the authorized number of Managers provided in Section 7.03 hereof, the Board shall at all times have at least two individuals who are Independent Managers (as defined in Section 7.16) who are acting as Managers.

Except for duties to the Company as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence (including duties to the Member and the Company’s creditors solely to the extent of their respective economic interests in the Company but excluding (i) all other interests of the Member, (ii) the interests of other Affiliates of the Company, and (iii) the interests of any group of Affiliates of which the Company is a part), the Independent Managers shall not have any fiduciary duties to the Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement; provided, however, the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(e) of the Act, an Independent Manager shall not be liable to the Company, the Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement for breach of contract or breach of duties (including fiduciary duties), unless the Independent Manager acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct. No resignation or removal of an Independent Manager, and no appointment of a successor Independent Manager, shall be effective until such successor shall have executed a counterpart to this Agreement. In the event of a vacancy in the position of Independent Manager, the Member shall, as soon as practicable, appoint a successor Independent Manager.

The Certificate Paying Agent shall request, and the Certificateholder shall provide to the Certificate Paying Agent, such forms or certificates as are necessary to establish an exemption from withholding and backup withholding tax with respect to the Certificateholder and any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Trust to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding and backup withholding tax obligations. The Certificateholder, by acceptance of the Certificate, agrees to provide to the Certificate Paying Agent, upon its request, the FATCA Information. In addition, the Certificateholder, by acceptance of the Certificate, agrees that the Certificate Paying Agent has the right to withhold any amounts (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to the Certificateholder that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.
(b) The Certificate Paying Agent, upon direction from the Sponsor, shall deliver or shall cause to be delivered to the Certificateholder such information, reports or statements as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations and as may be required to enable the Certificateholder to prepare the Certificateholder’s federal and state income tax returns. In no event shall the Certificate Paying Agent or the Owner Trustee be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust, the Certificateholder or the Noteholders arising out of the application of any tax law, including federal, state, foreign or local income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest, penalty or addition with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith) except the Certificate Paying Agent shall be liable for any such liability, cost or expense attributable to any act or omission, willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud, or negligence by the Certificate Paying Agent in breach of its obligations under this Agreement.
