this Section, provided that any amendment be accompanied by the written consent
of the Indenture Trustee and an Opinion of Counsel shall be furnished to the
Indenture Trustee (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of
the
Indenture Trustee) stating that such amendment complies with the provisions
of
this Section.
(b) If
the
purpose of the amendment is to prevent the imposition of any federal or state
taxes at any time that any Notes are outstanding (i.e. technical in nature),
it
shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Noteholder, but the
Indenture Trustee shall be furnished with an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion

this
Agreement, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Noteholder,
but the Indenture Trustee shall be furnished, other than as contemplated in
clause (b) above, with either (i) a letter from each of the Rating Agencies
confirming that such amendment will not cause the Rating Agencies to qualify,
downgrade or withdraw their then-current rating of the Notes or (ii) an Opinion
of Counsel, from the party requesting such amendment, stating that such
amendment will not materially and adversely affect any of the Noteholders
.
(d) Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment, the Securities Administrator shall
furnish a copy of such amendment to each Holder, the Depositor and to the Rating
Agencies.
Section
13. Successors
and
Assigns. This Agreement
may
not be assigned by the Securities Administrator unless such assignment is
previously consented to in writing by the Owner Trustee and the
Depositor. An assignment with such consent and satisfaction, if
accepted by the assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner
as the Securities Administrator is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the Securities Administrator
without the consent of the Owner Trustee or the Depositor to a corporation
or
other organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase
of
assets) to the Securities Administrator, provided that such successor
organization executes and delivers to the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee
and
the Depositor an agreement in which such corporation or other organization
agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of said assignment in the same manner
as the Securities Administrator is bound hereunder. Subject to the
foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties
hereto.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH SUCH LAWS.

Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall
together constitute one and the same agreement.
Section
17. Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall 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.

in this Agreement shall affect any obligation Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. may have
in
any other capacity.

its individual capacity or any beneficial owner of the Issuing Entity have
any
liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other
obligations of the Issuing Entity hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall
be had solely to the assets of the Issuing Entity. For all purposes

in
this Agreement, and no implied duties on its part shall be read into this
Agreement. In acting as Securities Administrator, Xxxxx Fargo Bank,
N.A. shall be entitled to the same benefits, rights, immunities, protections
and
rights to indemnification as are afforded to the Indenture Trustee under Article
VI of the Indenture.
Section
21. Benefit
of Agreement. It is expressly agreed that in performing its
duties under this Agreement, the Securities Administrator will act for the
benefit of holders of the Securities as well as for the benefit of the Issuing
Entity, and that such obligations on the part of the Securities Administrator
shall be enforceable at the instance of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing
Entity.
Section
22. Bankruptcy
Matters. No party to this Agreement shall take any action to
cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to dissolve in whole or in part or

to
the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Depositor
or
