Amendments With Consent of Certificateholders and Noteholders This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee with the consent of Noteholders whose Notes evidence not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date and, if any Person other than the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor holds any Certificates, the consent of the Majority Certificateholders as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date (which consent, whether given pursuant to this Section 8.2 or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, shall be conclusive and binding on such Person and on all future holders of such Notes or Certificates and of any Notes or Certificates issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon any Notes or Certificates) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) without the consent of the holder of the affected Note or Certificate, as applicable, increase or reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note or change any Distribution Date or the Final Scheduled Distribution Date of any Note or distributions on the Certificates (without the consent of the holders hereof), (b) increase or reduce the amount of the required Specified Reserve Account Balance without the consent of all of the Noteholders or Certificateholders then outstanding, (c) adversely affect the rating of any Securities by any of the Rating Agencies without the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the Outstanding Amount of an affected class of Notes or two-thirds of the Voting Interests of affected Certificates, as appropriate, each as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date or (d) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the holders of all Notes and Certificates then outstanding. The Depositor shall furnish notice to each of the Rating Agencies prior to obtaining consent to any proposed amendment under this Section 8.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered to the effect that such amendment would not cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.
Amendments Without Consent of Noteholders (a) Without the consent of the Noteholders and with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, as evidenced in writing to the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, when authorized by an Issuer Order, at any time and from time to time, the parties hereto may enter into one or more amendments hereto, in form satisfactory to the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, for any of the following purposes: (i) to correct or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the lien of the Indenture as supplemented by this Series Supplement, or better to assure, convey and confirm unto the Indenture Trustee, if any, any property subject or required to be subjected to the lien of the Indenture as supplemented by this Series Supplement, or subject to the lien of the Indenture as supplemented by this Series Supplement additional property; (ii) to evidence the succession, in compliance with the applicable provisions hereof, of another person to the Issuer, and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer herein and in the Notes contained; (iii) to add to the covenants of the Issuer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer; (iv) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Indenture Trustee, if any; (v) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture, the Trust Agreement or in this Series Supplement; provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; (vi) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment hereunder and under the Indenture by a successor indenture trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture or of this Series Supplement as shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one indenture trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article V of the Indenture; or (vii) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Indenture or of this Series Supplement to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA. Each of the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any amendment and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained. (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator, when authorized by an Issuer Order, may, also without the consent of any of the Noteholders and with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, as evidenced in writing to the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator, enter into an amendment hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture or of this Series Supplement of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture or under this Series Supplement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder; provided, further, that with respect to tax matters, such action shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder if, for federal income tax purposes, the action does not cause the issuing entity to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, or the Notes that were characterized as debt at the time of issuance to fail to qualify as debt.
Acts of Noteholders (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Action” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. (b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient. (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
Action by or Consent of Noteholders and Certificateholder Whenever any provision of this Agreement refers to action to be taken, or consented to, by the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, such provision shall be deemed to refer to the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, as the case may be, of record as of the Record Date immediately preceding the date on which such action is to be taken, or consent given, by Noteholders or the Certificateholder. Solely for the purposes of any action to be taken, or consented to, by Noteholders or the Certificateholder, any Note or the Certificate registered in the name of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof shall be deemed not to be outstanding; provided, however, that, solely for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent is entitled to rely upon any such action or consent, only Notes or the Certificate which the Owner Trustee or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent, respectively, has actual knowledge is so owned shall be so disregarded.
Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders (a) The Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuing Entity Order, also may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Securities, by Act of such Holders delivered to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby: (i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Trust Estate to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date); (ii) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Securities, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture; (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term “Outstanding”; (iv) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Securities required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuing Entity to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04; (v) modify any provision of this Section except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of this Indenture or the Basic Documents cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby; (vi) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal due on any Note on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of Notes to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Notes contained herein; (vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture; or (viii) except as provided in Section 5.04(a)(iv), liquidate the Receivables when the proceeds of such sale would be insufficient to fully pay the Notes. (b) The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate certifying as to whether or not any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith. (c) It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. (d) Promptly after the execution by the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall transmit to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to transmit such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.
With Consent of Holders of Notes Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or any of the Security Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, Notes), and, with such consent and subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, may waive any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents. Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or other such amendment, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture or other such amendment unless such amended or supplemental Indenture or other such amendment affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture or other such amendment. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): (a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (provided that this subsection (b) shall not be deemed to apply to any alteration of or waiver with respect to the definition of the term "Excess Cash Flow" or the term "Net Proceeds" (or any other defined terms used in such definitions) contained in Section 1.01 hereof); (c) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note; (d) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; (e) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture governing waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; or (f) provide for the release of any material Pledged Equity Interests (as such term is defined in the Pledge Agreement) except in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents.
Supplemental Agreements with Consent of Applicable Certificateholders Without limitation of Section 9.02 of the Basic Agreement, the provisions of Section 9.02 of the Basic Agreement shall apply to agreements or amendments for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Liquidity Facility or the NPA or modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Applicable Certificateholders under the Escrow Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Liquidity Facility or the NPA; provided that the provisions of Section 9.02(1) of the Basic Agreement shall be deemed to include reductions in any manner of, or delay in the timing of, any receipt by the Applicable Certificateholders of payments upon the Deposits.
Communication by Noteholders with Other Noteholders Noteholders may communicate with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under the Indenture or the Notes.

The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained. (b) The Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuing Entity Order, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided that such amendments require: (i) satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition or (ii) an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer stating that the amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder. (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no supplemental indenture shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Asset Representations Reviewer if the supplemental indenture would adversely modify the amount or timing of distributions to be made to the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether any supplemental indenture would adversely modify the amount or timing of distributions to be made to the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Indenture.
