Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder or Trust Certificateholder.
This Agreement may also be amended by the parties hereto with the written consent of the Owner
Trustee and the holders of Notes evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount and the

Indenture Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee

such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 1.17 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

countersigned by [Wilmington Trust Company] in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Trust and in no
event shall [Wilmington Trust Company] in its individual capacity or any beneficial owner of the
Trust have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other

to this Agreement and is entitled to the rights and benefits hereunder and may enforce the
provisions hereof as if it were a party hereto.
