The Grantor Trust Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects such trustee’s own rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise. No amendment which adversely affects the rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations of the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement shall be effective without the respective party’s prior written consent.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Grantor Trust Trustee to the effect that such amendment would not cause the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

14. 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 Grantor Trust Trustee and the Owner Trustee and subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition in respect thereof.

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 Grantor Trust Trustee or the Owner Trustee to a corporation or other organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the Administrator, provided that such successor organization executes and delivers to the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an agreement in which such corporation or other organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of such 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.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANY OF THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
