Duties of Master Servicer The Master Servicer, acting alone and/or through one or more Subservicers as provided in this Section, shall, as agent for the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer, manage, service, administer and make collections on the Contracts. The Master Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Contracts shall be carried out in accordance with customary and usual procedures of financial institutions which service motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and installment loans and, to the extent more exacting, the procedures used by the Master Servicer in respect of such contracts serviced by it for its own account. In accordance with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, whenever an Obligor has become delinquent or the Master Servicer believes an Obligor may become delinquent, in order to preserve the ultimate collectability of amounts due on a Contract, modify the payment schedule on any Contract by reducing the APR on such Contract without the consent of the Insurer or any Rating Agency; provided, however, that the new APR shall not be less than the sum of (i) the Pass-Through Rate, (ii) the Servicing Fee Percent and (iii) the Retained Yield Percent. In addition, in order to preserve the Trust Estate, the Master Servicer may, without the consent of any Rating Agency or the Insurer, reduce the principal amount of a Contract (i.e., write-down a portion of the principal amount due on such Contract and, accordingly, lower the Monthly P&I on such Contract) to the extent funds are available in the Spread Account to cover such reduction; provided however, the total amount of such modifications pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and this sentence and reductions (i) may not affect more than 1% of the Original Pool Balance through the Certificate Final Distribution Date and (ii) during each three-month period between Distribution Dates (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, from the Cut-Off Date to such Distribution Date) shall not affect Contracts having an aggregate Scheduled Balance greater than 10/100 of one percent of the Pool Balance at the beginning of such period. Any such modifications or reductions exceeding such limits may be made only with the consent of the Insurer and each Rating Agency. The Master Servicer may also extend the Maturity Date on a Contract in accordance with Section 4.02. The Master Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Contracts, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer with respect to distributions and filing applicable U.S. tax returns for the Trust on an annual basis, based on a tax year for the Trust that is the calendar year. The Master Servicer shall have, subject to the terms hereof, full power and authority, acting alone, and subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall commence repossession efforts in respect of any Financed Vehicle respecting which the related Contract is four or more months delinquent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, the Insurer, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any of them,
