The Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through any party properly designated by it hereunder, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 10.01, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered, unless such power and authority is revoked by the Trustee on account of the occurrence of a Service Default pursuant to Section 10.01, (i) to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account and any Series Account as set forth in this Agreement, (ii) to instruct the Trustee to take any action required or permitted under any Enhancement, (iii) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and, after the delinquency of any Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable Requirements of Law, to commence enforcement proceedings with respect to such Receivables, (iv) to make any filings, reports, notices, applications, registrations with, and seek any consents or authorizations from, the Securities and Exchange Commission and any State securities authority on behalf of the Trust as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any Federal or State securities laws or reporting requirement, and (v) to delegate certain of its servicing, collection, enforcement and administrative duties hereunder with respect to the Accounts and the Receivables to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the Floorplan Financing Guidelines and this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, any Agent and any Enhancement Providers in writing of any such delegation of its duties which is not in the ordinary course of its business, that no delegation will relieve the Servicer of its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties and that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to any such delegation. The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
Provisions Relating to Securitization (a) For so long as an Initial Note Holder or its Affiliate (an “Initial Note Holder Entity”) is the owner of its Note(s), such Initial Note Holder Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of its Note(s) or severing its Note(s) into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then-outstanding principal balance of its Note(s), provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of the New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the principal balance of the related original Note(s) prior to such amendments, (ii) all New Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the original Note(s) prior to such amendments, (iii) all New Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement and (iv) the Initial Note Holder Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the other Holders (or, for any Note that has been contributed to a Securitization, to the trustee and the applicable master servicer of such Securitization) in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts. In connection with the foregoing, (1) the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to execute amendments to the Loan Agreement and this Agreement (or to amend and restate the Loan Agreement and this Agreement) on behalf of any or all of the Holders solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal or such severing of Note(s), (2) if a Note is severed into “component” notes, such component notes shall each have their same rights as the respective original Note (except if such original Note is Note A-1, then the applicable Initial Note Holder shall designate one of the New Notes to take the place of Note A-1 in the definitions of “Directing Holder”, “Lead Note”, “Lead Securitization”, “Non-Directing Holder” and “Servicing Agreement”), and (3) the definition of the term “Securitization” and all of the related defined terms may be amended (and new terms added, as necessary) to reflect the New Notes. Rating Agency Confirmation shall not be required for any amendments to this Agreement required to facilitate the terms of this paragraph 18(a).
