it
shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Noteholder, but the

Agreement may not be assigned by the Securities Administrator unless such
assignment is previously consented to in writing by the Owner Trustee and the
Depositor. An assignment with such consent and satisfaction, if accepted by

assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Securities
Administrator is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
may be assigned by the Securities Administrator without the consent of the
Owner
Trustee or the Depositor to a corporation or other organization that is a
successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the Securities
Administrator, provided that such successor organization executes and delivers
to the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee and the Depositor 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 Securities Administrator is bound
hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors
or
assigns of the parties hereto.

unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and any

or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
