any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the terms of any such

non-ministerial, the Administrator shall not take any action unless within a

(iv) the
appointment of successor Note Registrars, successor Paying Agents and successor

Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 of the Indenture, (iii) take any other

accessible for inspection by the Issuer and the Depositor at any time during

act for or represent the Issuer or the Owner Trustee in any way and shall not
otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee.

Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement (i) shall
constitute the Administrator and either the Issuer or the Owner Trustee as
members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate,

impose any liability as such on any of them or (iii) shall be deemed to confer
on any of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any
obligation or liability on behalf of the others.
Section
1.08 Other Activities of
Administrator. Nothing herein shall prevent the Administrator
or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion,

similar to those of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture

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, that such amendment will not, in the Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Indenture Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interest of any of
the Noteholders or the Certificateholders. This Agreement may also be amended by
the parties hereto with the written consent of the Owner Trustee, the Delaware
Trustee and the Holders of Notes evidencing at least a majority of the

distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or
the Certificateholders or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Holders of

amend this Agreement without the permission of the Depositor, which permission
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Prior to its execution of any
amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall

fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects
throughout such reporting year (or applicable portion thereof) or, if there has
been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect,
specifically identifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature
and the status thereof. If the
Administrator is the same party as the Servicer, such party’s compliance with
Section 3.11(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement will satisfy the
Administrator’s obligations set forth in this Section 1.21(b).
(c) Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
On or before 90 days after the end of each fiscal

2010, the Administrator shall:
(i) deliver to the Issuer and Owner

required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of
Regulation AB. Such report shall be addressed to the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and signed by an authorized officer of the

Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

under clause (a)(iii) above unless the Depositor is required under the Exchange
Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to an issuing entity
whose asset pool includes the Receivables.
If the
Administrator is the same party as the Servicer, such party’s compliance with
Section 3.12 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement will satisfy the
Administrator’s obligations set forth in this Section 1.21(c).

the Issuer nor the Administrator shall exercise its right to request delivery of
information or other performance under these provisions other than in good
faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the
provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under
the Securities Act). The Administrator acknowledges that
interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time,
whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff,
consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of
counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer or any other party to the Transaction Documents in good
faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of
evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection therewith,
the Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Administrator, on behalf of the
Issuer to deliver to the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer (including any
of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications,
records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of
the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, to permit the Administrator, on
behalf of the Issuer, to comply with the provisions of Regulation

Administrator by providing timely notice of requests for information under these
provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in
the Administrator’s, on behalf of the Issuer, reasonable judgment, to comply
with Regulation AB.
