under the Trust Agreement.
(v) In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other obligations under this Agreement,
the Administrator may enter into transactions or otherwise deal with any of its affiliates;
provided, however, that the terms of any such transactions or dealings shall be in accordance with
any directions received from the Issuer and shall be, in the Administrator’s opinion, no less
favorable to the Issuer than would be available from unaffiliated parties.
Section 1.3 Non-Ministerial Matters.
With respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment of the Administrator are

sentence, “non-ministerial matters” shall include, without limitation:

The Administrator and its affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with any
person party to a Related Agreement, any of its affiliates and any person who may do business with

its appointment hereunder to the resigning Administrator and to the Issuer. Thereupon the

Agreement. The successor Administrator shall mail a notice of its succession to the Noteholders and
the Certificateholders. The resigning Administrator shall promptly transfer or
8
cause to be transferred all property and any related agreements, documents and statements held by
it as Administrator to the successor Administrator and the resigning Administrator shall execute

in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of
Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and

Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not amend this Agreement without

10
Section 12. Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement may not be assigned by the Administrator unless
such assignment is previously consented to in writing by the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and
subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition in respect thereof. An assignment with
such consent and satisfaction, if accepted by the assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder in
the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement may be assigned by the Administrator without the consent of the Issuer or the Owner
Trustee to a corporation or other organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation or
purchase of assets) to the Administrator; provided that such successor organization executes and
delivers to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee 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 Administrator is bound hereunder and represents that it has the financial
ability to satisfy its indemnification obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Administrator can transfer its obligations to any affiliate that succeeds to substantially all of
the assets and liabilities of the Administrator and who has represented and warranted that it is
not less creditworthy than the Administrator. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind
any successors or assigns of the parties hereto.
Section 13. GOVERNING LAW.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Section 14. Headings.
The section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience of reference
only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement.
Section 15. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same
agreement.
Section 16. 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.
Section 17. Not Applicable to [________________________] in Other Capacities.
Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any obligation [______] may have in any other capacity.
Section 18. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been
executed by the Owner Trustee solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee and in no event shall the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity or any beneficial owner of the Issuer have any
11
liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the
Issuer hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer. For
