Administrator shall update such certificate if any additional tax withholding is
subsequently required or any previously required tax withholding shall no longer
be required.

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.

other action which may be construed as having the effect of varying the
investment of the Securityholders.

(k)  The Administrator may enter into subservicing agreements with one or more
subservicers for the performance of all or part of the Administrator’s duties
hereunder.  References herein to actions taken or to be taken by the
Administrator include actions taken or to be taken by a subservicer on behalf of
the Administrator.  Each subservicing agreement will be upon such terms and
conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Administrator
and the subservicer have agreed.

(l)  If requested by the Depositor for purposes of compliance with its reporting
obligations under the Exchange Act, the Administrator will provide to the
Depositor and the Servicer on or before March 31 of each year beginning March

the Issuer under the Exchange Act under Item 1122 of Regulation AB if periodic
reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision
thereto, are required to be filed in respect of the Issuer and shall cause a
firm of independent certified public accountants, who may also render other
services to the Administrator, the Servicer, the Seller or the Depositor, to
deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer the attestation report that would be
required to be filed in respect of the Issuer under the Exchange Act if periodic
reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision
thereto, were required to be filed in respect of the Issuer.  Such attestation
shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.  In the event that an overall opinion
cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such
report why it was unable to express such an opinion.

The Administrator and the Depositor acknowledge and agree that the purpose of
this Section 1.02(l) is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the
provisions of Regulation AB and the related rules and regulations of the
Commission.  The Depositor shall not exercise its right to request delivery of
information or other performance under these provisions other than in good
faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act.  The Administrator acknowledges that
interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time,
whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff,
consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of
counsel or otherwise, and the Administrator agrees to comply with all reasonable
requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information and
shall deliver to the Depositor all information and certifications reasonably
required by the Depositor to comply with its Exchange Act reporting obligations,
including with respect to any of its predecessors or successors. The obligations

Administrator shall furnish to the Issuer from time to time such additional

Agreement, the Administrator shall be an independent contractor and shall not be
subject to the supervision of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee with respect to
the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations
hereunder.  Unless expressly authorized by the Issuer, the Administrator shall
have no authority to act for or represent the Issuer or the Owner Trustee in any
way and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer or the Owner
Trustee.

Section 1.07.  No Joint Venture.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i)

members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate,

any liability as such on any of them or (iii) be deemed to confer on any of them
any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability
on behalf of the others.

Section 1.08.  Other Activities of Administrator.  Nothing herein shall prevent
the Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its

written amendment duly executed and delivered by the parties hereto, with the
written consent of the Owner Trustee but without the consent of any
Securityholder, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any

any manner the rights of the Securityholders; provided, that no such amendment
shall materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder.  This
Agreement may also be amended by the parties hereto with the written consent of
the Noteholders evidencing at least 51% of the Note Balance of the Notes or, if
the Notes have been paid in full, the Certificateholders evidencing at least 51%
of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Securityholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment may (i) increase or reduce in any
manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of
payments on the Receivables or distributions that are required to be made for
the benefit of the Securityholders without the consent of all Securityholders
adversely affected thereby or (ii) reduce the percentage of the Note Balance of
the Notes or of the Certificate Percentage Interest, the consent of the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders, respectively, of which is required for
any amendment to this Agreement without the consent of 100% of the Holders of

An amendment to this Agreement shall be deemed not to materially adversely

of Counsel or an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer to that effect and by
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such amendment. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not amend this Agreement

withheld.
 
Section 1.13.  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.  Notwithstand-ing 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 form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee, 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.  Subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto.

Servicer.  Such Successor Servicer shall, upon compliance with the second to

successor Administrator hereunder, subject to Section 7.02 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that if the Indenture Trustee shall
become such successor Administrator, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required
to perform any obligations or duties or conduct any activities as successor
Administrator that would be prohibited by law and not within the banking and
trust powers of the Indenture Trustee.  In such event, the Indenture Trustee may
appoint a sub-administrator to perform such obligations and duties. Any transfer
of servicing pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and
related succession as Administrator hereunder shall not constitute an assumption

and adopted by a Person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such
contract or record) hereto or to any other certificate, agreement or document
related to this transaction, and any contract formation or record-keeping
