written consent of the Owner Trustee but without the consent of the Noteholders
and the Certificateholders, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or

such successor organization executes and delivers to the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, in
which such corporation or other organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the

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.

SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS;
(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS AGREEMENT. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or
attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such
other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing
waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been
induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers
and certifications in this Section 13(b); and
(c) Each of the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee covenants and
agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in
full of all amounts owing in respect of all outstanding Notes, it will not
institute against the Trust Depositor or the Trust, or join any other Person in
instituting against the Trust Depositor or the Trust, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other
similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state of the
United States, provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the
Indenture Trustee from filing proofs of claim or otherwise participating in any
such proceedings instituted by any other person. This Section 13(c) will survive
the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 14. HEADINGS. The section and subsection headings hereof have been
inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect
the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement.

all of which shall constitute but one and the same agreement.
SECTION 16. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof and
-14-

any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 17. NOT APPLICABLE TO OCAI IN OTHER CAPACITIES. Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any obligation OCAI may have in any other capacity.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this
instrument has been countersigned by The Bank of New York (Delaware) not in its
individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuer
and in no event shall The Bank of New York (Delaware) in its individual capacity
