not adversely affect any Noteholder if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied in respect of such proposed amendment. No amendment referred to in clause (x) in the immediately preceding sentence shall be permitted unless an Officer’s
Certificate shall have been delivered by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee certifying that such officer reasonably believes that such proposed amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder or Certificateholder
whose consent was not obtained.
