(v) Neither the execution and delivery of the Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements, nor the fulfillment of the terms thereof, conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under (a) the Trustee’s Articles of Association or By-Laws, (b) the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Trustee is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or (c) any order, decree, writ, or injunction of any court, governmental authority or regulatory body to which the Trustee is subject or by which it is bound or result in any lien or encumbrance on the Trust Estate, except as created by the Agreements.

out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Company Offering Materials, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Company Offering Materials other than the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and shall reimburse each Underwriter and each such controlling person promptly upon demand for any documented legal or documented other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity with respect to any untrue statement contained in or omission from the Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter if the Sponsor shall sustain the burden of proving that the person asserting against such Underwriter the loss, liability, claim, damage or expense purchased any of the Notes which are the subject thereof and was not sent or given a copy of the appropriate Prospectus (or the appropriate Prospectus as amended or supplemented) (the term Prospectus as used in this clause shall not include documents incorporated by reference thereto), if required by law, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Notes and prior to delivery of such confirmation the Sponsor had furnished such Underwriter with a supplement to such Prospectus (or Prospectus as amended or supplemented) correcting the untrue statement in or omission from such Prospectus (or Prospectus as amended or supplemented).

The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have to the Sponsor or any such director, officer or controlling person.

C. Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claimin respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided however, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 9 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9.

If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, unless such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, except to the extent provided in the next following paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 9 for any fees and expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Representative, if the indemnified parties under this Section 9 consist of the Underwriters or any of their controlling persons, or by the Companies, if the indemnified parties under this Section 9 consist of either of the Companies or any of the Companies’ directors, officers or controlling persons, but in either case reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.

Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in Sections 9A and B, shall use its reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which such indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

D. Each Underwriter agrees to deliver to the Companies no later than the date prior to the date on which the Form 8-K is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2A (i) hereof with a copy of its Derived Information (defined below) for filing with the Commission on Form 8-K.

E. (i) Each Underwriter agrees, assuming all Company-Provided Information (defined below) is accurate and complete in all material respects, to severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor, each of the Sponsor’s officers and directors and each person who controls the Sponsor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Derived Information provided by such Underwriter, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him, her or it in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Notes purchased by such Underwriter. The obligations of each of the Underwriters under this Section 9E(i) shall be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.

(ii) The Sponsor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each of such Underwriter’s officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Company- Provided Information, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him, her or it in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The Sponsor’s obligation under this Section 9E(ii) shall be in addition to any liability which they may otherwise have to the Underwriters.

The procedures set forth in Section 9C shall be equally applicable to this Section 9E.

F. For purposes of this Section 9, the term “Derived Information” means such portion, if any, of the information delivered to the Sponsor or the Seller pursuant to Section 9D hereof for filing with the Commission on Form 8-K as:

(i) is not contained in the Prospectus without taking into account information incorporated therein by reference;


	(ii) does not constitute Company-Provided Information; and


	(iii) is of the type of information defined as Collateral term sheets, Structural term sheets or Computational Materials (as such terms are interpreted in the No-Action Letters).

“Company-Provided Information” means (i) any computer tape furnished to the Underwriters by the Sponsor or the Seller concerning the Receivables comprising the Trust and (ii) any textual information contained in any Collateral term sheet, Structural term sheet or Computational Materials as well as any statistical information contained therein furnished directly by the Sponsor or the Seller for inclusion therein.

The terms “Collateral term sheet” and “Structural term sheet” shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the February 13, 1995 letter (the “PSA Letter”) of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx on behalf of the Public Securities Association (which letter, and the SEC staff’s response thereto, were publicly available February 17, 1995). The term “Collateral term sheet” as used herein includes any subsequent Collateral term sheet that reflects a substantive change in the information presented. The term “Computational Materials” has the meaning assigned to it in the May 17, 1994 letter (the “Xxxxxx letter” and together with the PSA Letter, the “No-Action Letters”) of Brown & Xxxx on behalf of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Co., Inc. (which letter, and the SEC staff’s response thereto, were publicly available May 20, 1994).

G. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 shall for any reason be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 9A, 9B or 9E in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute severally and not jointly to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Sponsor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Sponsor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits of the Underwriters and the Sponsor shall be deemed to be in such proportion so that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus bears to the public offering price appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus.

The relative fault of the Underwriters and the Sponsor shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Sponsor or by one of the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and other equitable considerations.

The Sponsor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9G were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 9G shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 9G, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

Each person, if any, who controls each Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as each of the Underwriters and each director of the Sponsor and/or the Seller, each officer of the Sponsor who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Sponsor and/or the Seller within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Sponsor.

In no case shall any Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Notes purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

H. The Underwriters severally confirm that the Underwriter Information set forth in the Prospectus Supplement together with the Derived Information, is correct in all material respects and constitutes the only information furnished in writing to the Sponsor or the Seller by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

Section 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters participating in the public offering of the Notes shall fail at the Closing Date to purchase the Notes which it is obligated to purchase hereunder (the “Defaulted Securities”), then the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth. If, however, the Underwriters have not completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

(i) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, pro rata in the proportion shown in the attached Schedule 1 as to each non-defaulting Underwriter (“Pro Rata”) (unless the non-defaulting Underwriters agree among themselves to a different allocation) to purchase the full amount thereof, or

(ii) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, (a) no non-defaulting Underwriters shall be required to purchase any Notes which were to be purchased by the defaulting Underwriter, (b) the non-defaulting Underwriters may elect to purchase the remaining amount Pro Rata (unless the non-defaulting Underwriters agree among themselves to a different allocation) provided that if the non-defaulting Underwriters have not agreed to purchase the entire aggregate principal amount of the Notes, then this Agreement shall terminate, without any liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve the defaulting Underwriter from the liability with respect to any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section, each of the Underwriters and the Seller shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding five Business Days in order that any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

Section 11. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice given to the Sponsor and the Seller prior to delivery of and payment for the Notes if prior to such time (i) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, would have a material adverse effect on the general affairs, business, management, financial condition, stockholders’ equity, results of operations, regulatory situation or business prospects of the Trust, the Sponsor, the Insurer or the Seller which materially impairs the investment quality of the Notes or makes it impractical or inadvisable to market the Notes; (ii) the Notes have been placed on credit watch or review by S&P, Xxxxx’x or Fitch with negative implications; (iii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers National Market System shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange or market system; (iv) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities; (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis, the effect of which is a material adverse effect on the practicality or advisability of proceeding with the completion of the sale and payment for the Notes; or (vi) any material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services shall have occurred in the United States. Upon such notice being given, the parties to this Agreement shall (except for any liability arising before or in relation to such termination) be released and discharged from their respective obligations under this Agreement.

Section 12. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or contained in certificates of officers of the Companies submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Representative or controlling person of the Representative, or by or on behalf of the Companies or any officers, directors or controlling persons and shall survive delivery of any Notes to the Representative or any controlling person.
