SECTION 4.9 Limitations on the Company’s Activities.

(a) This Section 4.9 is being adopted in order to comply with certain provisions required in order to qualify the Company as a “special purpose” entity.

(b) The Member shall not, so long as any Obligation is outstanding, amend, alter, change or repeal Sections 2.2, 4.1(b), 4.9, 4.10, 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3 of this Agreement (including the defined terms contained in such Sections) without the unanimous written consent of the Board (including each Independent Director). Subject to this Section 4.9(b), the Member reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any other provisions contained in this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.4. An Independent Director shall consider the interests of the Company, the Member and holders of the Company’s rated Obligations in determining whether to vote for or against any such amendment. So long as any Obligation is outstanding, the Member shall provide prior written notice of any proposed amendment to Sections 2.2, 4.1(b), 4.9, 4.10, 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3 to each Rating Agency then rating any outstanding Security but only if such rating was initially provided at the request of JDCC, the Company, any Trust or Holdco or an affiliate thereof. So long as any Obligation is outstanding, prior to any amendment, alteration or repeal of Section 4.10, the Company shall have received either the written consent or confirmation of each Rating Agency. The applicable Rating Agency shall either consent to the proposed amendment, alteration or repeal or shall confirm that the amendment, alteration, or repeal will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of any ratings on outstanding Securities that were assigned at the request of JDCC, the Company, any Trust or Holdco or an affiliate thereof or such Rating Agency shall have been given 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period that is acceptable to such Rating Agency) prior written notice thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and any provision of law that otherwise so empowers the Company, so long as any Obligation is outstanding, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of each trustee from time to time (the “Trustees”) under any Transaction Document (or any supplements thereto) involving a Trust or of each Holdco, purchaser or lender so designated in any other Transaction Document, which in either case are then in effect, nor without the affirmative vote of each Independent Director, do any of the following (unless and to the extent that any such Transaction Document expressly permits the Company to take such action without the consent of the related Trustee, purchaser or lender):

(i) engage in any business activity other than those set forth in Section 2.2;

(ii) incur any indebtedness, or assume or guaranty any indebtedness of any other entity, other than (A) indebtedness incurred or guaranteed in connection with the issuance of Securities; (B) indebtedness to JDCC or any Affiliate thereof incurred or guaranteed in connection with the acquisition of Receivables, which indebtedness will provide that for so long as any Securities are outstanding, such indebtedness will only be payable to the extent the Company has available cash to pay such indebtedness; and (C) indebtedness where the Person to whom the indebtedness is owing has delivered to the Company an undertaking that it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, the Company any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, that it will not look to property or assets of the Company in respect to such obligations, and that such obligations shall not constitute a claim against the Company in the event that the Company’s assets are insufficient to pay in full such obligations, in each case, for one year after all Securities (other than Securities held by the Company) are paid in full; or

(iii) consolidate or merge with or into any other entity or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any entity, unless: (A) the entity (if other than the Company) formed or surviving the consolidation or merger or which acquires the properties and assets of the Company is organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada, expressly assumes the due and punctual payment of, and all obligations of the Company in connection with the indebtedness of the Company, and has a Articles of Organization, limited liability company agreement, articles of incorporation or other comparable organizational document containing provisions identical to the provisions of Sections 2.2 and 4.9 of this Agreement; (B) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under any indebtedness of the Company or any agreements relating to such indebtedness and (C) the Company has provided prior written notification to the applicable Rating Agencies then rating any rated Securities.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and any provision of law that otherwise so empowers the Company, the Member, the Board, the Officers or any other Person, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Obligations, none of the Member, the Board, the Officers or any other Person shall be authorized or empowered, nor shall they permit the Company, and the Company shall not, without the prior unanimous written consent of the Board (including each Independent Director), take any Material Action; provided, however, that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Obligations, neither the Member nor the Board may vote on, or authorize the taking of, any Material Action, unless, after the initial appointment of an Independent Director, there is at least one Independent Director then serving in such capacity. The existence of the Company as a separate legal entity shall continue until cancellation of the Articles of Organization as provided in the LLC Act.

(e) The Board shall also cause the Company to:

(i) maintain its own books of account and records separate from the Member or any other Person;

(ii) not commingle or pool its accounts, funds, other assets or liabilities with those of the Member or any other Person, except with respect to the temporary commingling of collections and except with respect to the Member’s or its Affiliates’ retention of certain books and records of the Company and except to the extent that the provisions of the Transaction Documents permit such commingling;

(iii) conduct its own business solely in its own name;

(iv) maintain financial statements separate from the Member or any other subsidiary or Affiliate of the Member or any Person the extent that the provisions of the Transaction Documents require such financial statements;

(v) pay its own operating expenses and liabilities from its own funds, except that JDCC may pay the organizational expenses of the Company hereunder as well as a portion of expenses incurred by the Company in connection with transactions carried out pursuant to the Financing Agreements; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require the Member to make any capital contributions;

(vi) pay the salaries and expenses of its own employees, consultants, advisors, Officers and Directors and maintain a sufficient number of the same in light of its contemplated business operations;

(vii) maintain its assets and liabilities in such a manner that its individual assets and liabilities can be readily and inexpensively identified from those of the Member or any other Person, including any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Member, and pay its own liabilities out of its own funds; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require the Member to make any capital contributions;

(viii) observe requirements of the LLC Act, the Articles of Organization and this Agreement;

(ix) maintain an arm’s length relationship with its Affiliates and the Member;

(x) except as contemplated by Section 4.9 and provided in Section 2.2(a), not guarantee or become obligated for the debts of any other Person or hold out its credit or assets as being available to satisfy the obligations of others or acquire equity securities of its Members;

(xi) except as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, not pledge its assets for the benefit of any other Person or make any loans or advances to any Person;

(xvi) readily identify and allocate fairly and reasonably any sharing of overhead expenses between the Company and the Member.

Failure of the Company, or the Member or Board on behalf of the Company, to comply with any of the foregoing covenants or any other covenants contained in this Agreement shall not affect the status of the Company as a separate legal entity or the limited liability of the Member or the Directors.

SECTION 4.10 Independent Director. Until the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Obligations, the Member shall cause the Company at all such times to have at least one Independent Director, who will be appointed by the Member. Notwithstanding any other duties otherwise existing at law or in equity, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including Sections 86.286 (5) and 86.286 (7) of the LLC Act, an Independent Director shall consider only the interests of the Company, the Member and holders of the Company’s Obligations, in acting or otherwise voting on the matters referred to in Sections 4.9(c) and 4.9(d). No resignation or removal of an Independent Director, where such action would leave the Company without at least one Independent Director, and no appointment of a successor Independent Director, shall be effective until such successor (i) shall have accepted his or her appointment as an Independent Director by a written instrument, and (ii) shall have executed a counterpart to this Agreement. In the event of a vacancy in the position of Independent Director, where such vacancy leaves the Company without at least one Independent Director at any time after the initial appointment of an Independent Director, the Member shall, as soon as practicable, appoint a successor Independent Director. All right, power and authority of an Independent Director shall be limited to the extent necessary to exercise those rights and perform those duties specifically set forth in Sections 4.9(b), 4.9(c), 4.9(d) and 8.2 of this Agreement. No Independent Director shall at any time serve as trustee in bankruptcy for any Subsidiary of the Member or of the Company. Each Independent Director is hereby designated as a “manager” of the Company within the meaning of Section 86.071 of the LLC Act.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 7.1 Right to Indemnification. Subject to the other provisions of this Article VII, the Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to every Special Member, Director (including each Independent Director) and Officer (and to such person’s heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives) (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) in the manner, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended, against any and all amounts (including judgments, fines, payments in settlement, attorneys’ fees and other expenses) reasonably incurred by or on behalf of any such Covered Person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”), in which such Covered Person was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved by reason of the fact that such Covered Person is or was a Special Member, Director or Officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Special Member, director, officer, employee, fiduciary or member of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise. The Company shall not be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person if the proceeding was not authorized by the Board.

SECTION 7.2 Advancement of Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall pay the expenses of any Covered Person incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition (“advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a Covered Person in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by such Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VII or otherwise.

SECTION 7.3 Claims by Covered Persons. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses by a Covered Person under this Article VII is not paid in full within 90 days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

SECTION 7.4 Indemnification of Employees. Subject to the other provisions of this Article VII, the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to every employee who is not a Director or Officer (and to such person’s heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives) in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended, against any and all amounts (including judgments, fines, payments in settlement, attorneys’ fees and other expenses) reasonably incurred by or on behalf of such person in connection with any proceeding, in which such employee was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved by reason of the fact that such person is or was an employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or member of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise. The ultimate determination of entitlement to indemnification of employees who are not Officers or Directors shall be made in such manner as is provided by applicable law. The Company shall not be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person if the proceeding was not authorized by the Board.

SECTION 7.7 Other Indemnification. The Company’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.

SECTION 7.8 Insurance. The Board may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, authorize an appropriate officer or officers to purchase and maintain at the Company’s expense insurance: (a) to indemnify the Company for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of Directors, Officers and employees under the provisions of this Article VII; and (b) to indemnify or insure Directors, Officers and employees against liability in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Article VII.

SECTION 7.9 Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article VII shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall not be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Article VII unless (i) the Company has received funds or has funds on hand which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay any other Obligations of the Company when due and (ii) such payment is made in accordance with the terms of any Transaction Document. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any amount which the Company does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in § 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or obligation of, the Company.

ARTICLE VIII

BANKRUPTCY; WAIVER OF PARTITION

SECTION 8.1 Waiver of Partition; Nature of Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Member and the Special Member (solely in its capacity as such) hereby irrevocably waives any right or power that such Member or Special Member might have to cause the Company or any of its assets to be partitioned, to cause the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of the assets of the Company, to compel any sale of all or any portion of the assets of the Company pursuant to any applicable law or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to file a complaint or to institute any proceeding at law or in equity to cause the dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of the Company. Neither the Member nor Special Member shall have any interest in any specific assets of the Company, and neither the Member nor Special Member shall have the status of creditor with respect to any distribution pursuant to this Agreement. The interest of the Member or Special Member in the Company is personal property.

SECTION 8.2 Assignments. The Member, with the unanimous approval of the Board (including each Independent Director), may assign all of its limited liability company interest in the Company. If the Member transfers all of its limited liability company interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 8.2, the transferee shall be admitted to the Company as a member of the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the transfer and, immediately following such admission, the transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor to the Member by merger or consolidation in compliance with the Transaction Documents shall, without further act, be the Member hereunder, and such merger or consolidation shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this Agreement and the Company shall continue without dissolution. The Member shall provide prior written notice of any proposed assignment to each Rating Agency then rating any Security that remains outstanding but only if such rating was initially provided at the request of JDCC, the Company, any Trust or Holdco, or an affiliate thereof.

SECTION 8.3 Resignation. So long as any Obligations are outstanding, the Member may not resign. If the Member is permitted to resign pursuant to this Section 8.3, an additional Member of the Company shall be admitted to the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the resignation and, immediately following such admission, the resigning Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company.

SECTION 8.4 Admission of Additional Members. One or more additional Members of the Company may be admitted to the Company with the written consent of the Member and upon execution of a counterpart to this Agreement.

SECTION 8.5 Dissolution.

(a) The Company shall be dissolved, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following: (i) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining member of the Company or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the last remaining member of the Company in the Company unless the business of the Company is continued in a manner permitted by this Agreement or the LLC Act; or (ii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 86.495 of the LLC Act; provided, that the Company shall provide prior written notification of dissolution to the applicable Rating Agencies then rating any rated Securities. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of the Company to cease to be a member of the Company or that causes the Member to cease to be a member of the Company (other than upon continuation of the Company without dissolution upon (i) an assignment by the Member of all of its limited liability company interest in the Company and the admission of the transferee pursuant to Section 8.2, or (ii) the resignation of the Member and the admission of an additional Member of the Company pursuant to Section 8.3), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in the Company, agree in writing (A) to continue the Company and (B) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of any Member or Special Member shall not cause such Member or Special Member, respectively, to cease to be a member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall continue without dissolution. “Bankruptcy” Bankruptcy”, as used herein and for purposes of Section 86.282 (4)(a)(4) and Section 86.491 (4) of the LLC Act, means, with respect to any Person, that such Person (i) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, (iii) is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or has entered against it an order for relief, in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, (iv) files a petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, (v) files an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding of the nature described in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv), (vi) seeks, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Person or of all or any substantial part of its properties, or (vii) if 120 days after the commencement of any proceeding against the Person seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, the proceeding has not been dismissed, or if within 90 days after the appointment without such Person’s consent or acquiescence of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of such Person or of all or any substantial part of its properties, the appointment is not vacated or stayed, or within 90 days after the expiration of any such stay, the appointment is not vacated.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Member and the Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve the Company upon the Bankruptcy of such Member or Special Member, or the occurrence of an event that causes such Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of the Company.

(d) In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 86.521 of the LLC Act; provided, that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event of dissolution, the Company shall not liquidate any asset that is securing any Obligation of the Company that has been rated by one or more Rating Agencies, unless the Company has obtained the consent of each holder of such rated Obligation (and except that such asset shall continue to be serviced in the ordinary course).

(e) The Company shall terminate when (i) all of the assets of the Company, after payment or other satisfaction of the Obligations and all other debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, shall have been distributed to the Member in the manner provided for in this Agreement and (ii) the Articles of Organization shall have been canceled in the manner required by the LLC Act.

SECTION 9.8 Distributions. Distributions shall be made to the Member at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined by the Board. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to the Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the LLC Act or any other applicable law or any Transaction Document.
