SECTION 2.2. Review and Verification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1 to the contrary, on or before the third Business Day of each month, the Servicer and the Trust Collateral Agent shall provide sufficient data to the Backup Servicer to allow the Backup Servicer to review and to verify the mathematical accuracy of the Servicer’s Certificate on an Aggregate Basis related thereto and determine the following:

(i) that such Servicer’s Certificate is complete on its face;

(ii) that the amounts credited to and withdrawn from the Collection Account and the balance of such account, as set forth in the records of the Trust Collateral Agent are the same as the amount set forth in the Servicer’s Certificate; and

In the event of any discrepancy between the information set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, as calculated by the Servicer, from that determined or calculated by the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Servicer and, if within five (5) days of such notice being provided to the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and the Servicer are unable to resolve such discrepancy, the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Trust Collateral Agent of such discrepancy. The Backup Servicer shall review the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered to it in accordance with Section 4.09(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement against the information on the Servicer’s Data File, on an aggregate basis. No later than three (3) Business Days after the Backup Servicer’s receipt of each Servicer’s Certificate, the Backup Servicer shall notify the Servicer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee of any inconsistencies between the Servicer’s Certificate and the information contained in the Servicer’s Data File; provided, however, in the absence of a reconciliation, the Servicer’s Certificate shall control for the purpose of calculations and distributions with respect to the related Distribution Date. If the Backup Servicer and the Servicer are unable to reconcile discrepancies with respect to a Servicer’s Certificate prior to the related Distribution Date, the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent accountants, at the Servicer’s expense, to audit the Servicer’s Certificate and, prior to the third Business Day, but in no event later than the fifth calendar day, of the following month, reconcile the discrepancies. The effect, if any, of such reconciliation shall be reflected in

the Servicer’s Certificate for such next Distribution Date. The Backup Servicer shall only review the information provided by the Servicer in the Servicer’s Certificate and in the Servicer’s Data File and its obligation to report any inconsistencies shall be limited to those determinable from such information.

(i) Other than as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer and shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation, or liability (collectively “Liability”) for any action taken or omitted by the Servicer.

(ii) The Backup Servicer shall consult with the Servicer as may be necessary from time to time to perform or carry out the Backup Servicer’s obligations hereunder, including the obligation, if requested in writing by the Trust Collateral Agent, to succeed within thirty (30) days to the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3.

If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively, “Errors”) exists in any information received from the Servicer, and such Errors should cause or materially contribute to the Backup Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), the Backup Servicer shall have no Liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Backup Servicer against any Liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in discovering or correcting any Error or in the performance of its duties hereunder or under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In the event the Backup Servicer becomes aware of Errors and/or Continued Errors which, in the opinion of the Backup Servicer impairs its ability to perform its services hereunder, the Backup Servicer: (i) shall promptly notify the Servicer of such Errors and/or Continued Errors; and (ii) may use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as it deems appropriate to correct such Errors and/or Continued Errors and prevent future Continued Errors. The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended from the Servicer.

(iv) The Backup Servicer and its officers, directors, employees and agents shall be indemnified by the Servicer and the Issuer, jointly and severally, from and against all claims, damages, losses or expenses reasonably incurred by the Backup Servicer (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) arising out of claims asserted against the Backup Servicer on any matter arising out of this Agreement to the extent the act or omission giving rise to the claim accrues before the Assumption Date, except for any claims, damages, losses or expenses arising from the Backup Servicer’s own willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The obligations of the Servicer and the Issuer under this Section shall

survive the termination of this Agreement and the earlier resignation or removal of the Backup Servicer.

(v) To the extent the Backup Servicer requires any information supplementing reports or data that is to be provided to it pursuant to the Basic Documents in order to complete its verification duties, the Backup Servicer’s verification duties are conditioned upon timely receipt by the Backup Servicer of such information.

SECTION 2.3. Assumption of Servicer’s Obligations.

servicing, administering, managing and collection of the Loans and Contracts in accordance herewith and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(b) In the event of a Backup Servicer Event of Default, the Trust Collateral Agent may, or, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, shall terminate the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer and Backup Servicer hereunder. In addition, prior to the Assumption Date, the Trust Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, or, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, shall, without cause, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ advance written notice, terminate the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer and Backup Servicer hereunder.

Such backup servicing agreement shall specify the duties and obligations of the Successor Backup Servicer, and all references herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the Backup Servicer shall be deemed to refer to such Successor Backup Servicer.

(c) The Backup Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as successor servicer or as Backup Servicer, as applicable, except upon a determination that by reason of a change in legal requirements, the performance of its duties hereunder or under the Sale and Servicing Agreement would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would have a material adverse effect on the Backup Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Backup Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Majority Noteholders.
