Certain Matters Affecting the Indenture Trustee For all purposes of this Servicing Agreement, in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its powers hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to and entitled to the benefits of Article VI of the Indenture.
Rights of the Indenture Trustee The Indenture Trustee shall be afforded the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the Indenture as if specifically set forth herein.
Duties of the Indenture Trustee (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer:
(i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.
(c) The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i) this clause (c) does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to the Indenture;
(iv) the Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of Default or Servicer Default unless a Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Indenture Trustee receives written notice of such event from the Seller, Servicer or Note Owners owning Notes aggregating not less than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; and
(v) the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the performance of the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the Seller or the Servicer, nor shall it have any liability in connection with malfeasance or nonfeasance by the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the Seller or the Servicer. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in connection with compliance of the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the Seller or the Servicer with statutory or regulatory requirements related to the Receivables. The Indenture Trustee shall not make or be deemed to have made any representations or warranties with respect to the Receivables or the validity or sufficiency of any assignment of the Receivables to the Trust Estate or the Indenture Trustee.
(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Indenture Trustee is subject to clauses (a), (b), (c) and (g).

(f) Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law, this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense is not reasonably assured to it.
(h) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to this Section and the TIA.
Issuer To Furnish Indenture Trustee Names and Addresses of Noteholders If and so long as the Indenture Trustee is not the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee (i) not more than five (5) days after each Record Date, a list, in such form as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes as of such Record Date and (ii) at such other times as the Indenture Trustee may request in writing, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than ten (10) days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that, with respect to Notes issued as Book-Entry Notes, no such list shall be required to be furnished.
Indenture Trustee Not Obligated Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Indenture Trustee is not obligated to enter into an amendment that adversely affects the Indenture Trustee’s rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities, indemnities or immunities under this Indenture.
Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, Appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event which has not been cured, to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
(iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any action reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event hereunder and after the curing of all Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, respectively, may require reasonable indemnity from such requesting Holders against such expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such reasonable examination shall be paid by the requesting Holders;
(vi) The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys; provided, however, that the appointment of such agents or attorneys shall not relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its duties or obligations hereunder;
(vii) For all purposes under this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have notice of any Servicer Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator at the respective Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Certificates or this Agreement;
(viii) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for any act or omission of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (unless the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, in which case the Trustee shall only be responsible for its own actions as Master Servicer or Special Servicer) or of the Depositor; and
(ix) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Trust Fund unless it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency.
