Subject to Section 5 of this Agreement, the Administrator shall

administer, perform or supervise the performance of such other activities in connection with the Collateral (including the Related Agreements) as are not covered by any of the foregoing and as are expressly requested by the Trustee and are reasonably within the capability of the Administrator.

(ii)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Related Agreements to the contrary, if any Certificates are held by any Person other than the Depositor, the Administrator shall be responsible for promptly notifying the Trustee in the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payments (or allocations of income) to an Owner as contemplated in Section 5.2(c) of the Trust Agreement. Any such notice shall specify the amount of any withholding tax required to be withheld by the Trustee pursuant to such provision.

(iii)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Related Agreements to the contrary, the Administrator shall be responsible for performance of the duties of the Trustee (if any) set forth in Sections 5.2(a), (b) and (c), the first sentence of Section 5.5 and Section 5.6(a) of the Trust Agreement with respect to, among other things, accounting and reports to Owners; provided, however, that the Trustee shall retain responsibility for the distribution of the Schedule K-1s necessary to enable each Owner to prepare its federal and State income tax returns.

In connection with clause (ii), the Accountants will provide, on or prior to the date on which the Trustee receives its notice from the Administrator under such clause, a letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee as to whether any tax withholding is then required and, if required, the procedures to be followed with respect thereto to comply with the requirements of the Code.

(v)           The Administrator shall perform the duties of the Administrator specified in Section 10.2 of the Trust Agreement required to be performed in connection with the resignation or removal of the Trustee, and any other duties expressly required to be performed by the Administrator under the Trust Agreement.

(vii)         The Administrator xxxxxx agrees to execute on behalf of the Issuing Entity all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuing Entity to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Basic Documents or otherwise by law.

(i)            With respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment of the Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator shall not take any action unless within a reasonable time before the taking of such action the Administrator shall have notified the Trustee of the proposed action and the Trustee shall not have withheld consent or provided an alternative direction. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “non-ministerial matters” shall include, without limitation:

(A)         the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Issuing Entity and the compromise of any action, claim or lawsuit brought by or against the Issuing Entity (other than in connection with the collection of the Receivables);

(B)         the appointment of successor Note Registrars, successor Paying Agents and successor Trustees pursuant to the Indenture or the appointment of successor Administrators or successor Xxxxxxxxx, or the consent to the assignment by the Note Registrar, Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee of its obligations under the Indenture; and

3.            Compensation. As compensation for the performance of the Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement and as reimbursement for its expenses related thereto, the Administrator shall be entitled to $500 per quarter payable in arrears on each Payment Date, which payment shall be solely an obligation of the Issuing Entity (the “Administration Fee”).

4.            Additional Information to be Furnished to the Issuing Entity. The Administrator shall furnish to the Issuing Entity from time to time such additional information regarding the Collateral as the Issuing Entity shall reasonably request.

5.            Independence of the Administrator. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Administrator shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision of the

Issuing Entity or the Trustee with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by the Issuing Entity, the Administrator shall have no authority to act for or represent the Issuing Entity or the Trustee in any way (other than as permitted hereunder) and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuing Entity or the Trustee.

7.            Other Activities of the Administrator.

8.            Term of Agreement; Resignation and Removal of the Administrator.

(i)            the Administrator shall default in the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement and, after notice of such default, shall not cure such default within ten days (or, if such default cannot be cured in such time, shall not give within ten days such assurance of cure as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Entity);

(ii)           a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief, and such decree or order shall not have been vacated within 60 days, in respect of the Administrator in any involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official for

the Administrator or any substantial part of its property or order the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs; or

The Administrator agrees that if any of the events specified in clauses (ii) or (iii) of this subsection shall occur, it shall give written notice thereof to the Issuing Entity, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee within seven days after the happening of such event.

(e)            Upon the Administrator’s receipt of notice of termination, pursuant to Sections 8(c) or (d), or the Administrator’s resignation in accordance with this Agreement, the predecessor Administrator shall continue to perform its functions as Administrator under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of: (x) the date 45 days from the delivery to the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with this Agreement and (y) the date upon which the predecessor Administrator shall become unable to act as Administrator, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Administrator’s termination hereunder, the Issuing Entity shall appoint a successor Administrator acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, and the successor Administrator shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a successor Administrator has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Administrator has ceased to act as Administrator in accordance with this Section, and if the predecessor Administrator is currently serving as the Servicer under the Transaction Documents, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the successor Administrator and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the compensation specified in Section 3. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the performance of functions similar to those of the Administrator, as the successor to the Administrator under this Agreement.

(f)            Upon appointment, the successor Administrator (including the Indenture Trustee acting as successor Administrator) shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Administrator and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Administrator and shall be entitled to the compensation specified in Section 3 and all the rights granted to the predecessor Administrator by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(g)           Except when and if the Indenture Trustee is appointed successor Administrator, the Administrator may not resign unless it is prohibited from serving as such by law as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Administrator pursuant to this Section shall be effective until: (i) a successor Administrator shall have been appointed by the Issuing Entity and (ii) such successor Administrator shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder.

(h)           The appointment of any successor Administrator shall be effective only after satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to the proposed appointment.

9.            Action upon Termination, Resignation or Removal. Promptly upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8(a), or the resignation or removal of the Administrator pursuant to Section 8(b), or (c), or (d) respectively, the Administrator shall be entitled to be paid all fees and reimbursable expenses accruing to it to the date of such termination, resignation or removal. The Administrator shall forthwith upon such termination pursuant to Section 8(a) deliver to the Issuing Entity all property and documents of or relating to the Collateral then in the custody of the Administrator.

An amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholders of a Class of Notes if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such amendment for such Class of Notes.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Issuing Entity, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee with the written consent of (w) the Trustee, (x) Noteholders holding Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Note Balance and (y) the Certificateholders holding in the aggregate more than 50% of the beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity at the time of such amendment, 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: (i) reduce the interest rate or principal of any Note, or delay the Class Final Scheduled Maturity Date of any Note or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Holders of Notes and Certificates that are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Notes and Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not amend this Agreement without the permission of the Depositor, which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent (or, in the case of the Rating Agencies, prior thereto), the Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each Certificateholder, the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholders or the Noteholders pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (other than as provided in the following paragraph), any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Administrator without the consent of the Certificateholders, the Noteholders or any other Person to add, modify or eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under or with respect to any law or regulation or any accounting rule or principle (whether now or in the future in effect); it being a condition to any such amendment that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.

Any amendment which affects the rights, duties, immunities or liabilities of the Trustee shall require the Trustee’s written consent.

12.          Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Administrator unless such assignment is previously consented to in writing by the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Trustee and subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition in respect thereof. An assignment with such consent and satisfaction, if accepted by the assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the Administrator without the consent of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee to a corporation or other organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to, or Affiliate of, the Administrator, provided that such successor organization executes and delivers to the Issuing Entity, the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an agreement in which such corporation or other organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto.
