its entirety as follows:
          “Section 3.2 Transaction Documents.
          (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so
and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful
action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance
and observance by SPV, the Servicer, the Administrator, VMS or PHH Consumer
Lease or any other party to any of the Transaction Documents, as applicable, of
each of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents, in each
case in accordance with the applicable terms thereof, and to exercise any and
all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer to
the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the
transmission of notices of default thereunder and the institution of legal or
administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by SPV,
the Servicer, the Administrator, VMS or PHH Consumer Lease or any other party to
any of the Transaction Documents, as applicable, of each of their respective
obligations under the Transaction Documents. If (i) the Issuer shall have

take commercially reasonable action to accomplish such directions of the
Indenture, (ii) the Issuer refuses to take any such action, or (iii) the
Indenture Trustee reasonably determines that such action must be taken
immediately, the Indenture Trustee may take such previously directed action and
any related action permitted under this Indenture which the Indenture Trustee
thereafter determines is appropriate (without the need under this provision or
any other provision under the Indenture to direct the Issuer to take such
action), on behalf of the Issuer and the Investor Noteholders.
          (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect
to any Series of Outstanding Investor Notes, the Indenture Trustee may, and, at
the direction (which direction shall be in writing) of the Holders of a Majority
in Interest of such Series of Outstanding Investor Notes (or, if an Event of
Default with respect to more than one Series of Investor Notes has occurred, a
Majority in Interest of each Series of Investor Notes with respect to which an
Event of Default shall have occurred) shall exercise all rights, remedies,
powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against SPV, the Origination Trust
or the Servicer under or in connection with the Transfer Agreement and the
Origination Trust Documents, including the right or power to take any action to
compel or secure performance or observance by SPV, the Origination Trust or the
Servicer of each of their respective obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to
give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver
under the Transfer Agreement and the Origination Trust Documents, and any right
of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended; provided that, if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to less

-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

than all Series of Outstanding Investor Notes, the Indenture Trustee may not
take any action hereunder that is detrimental to the rights of the Holders of
the Investor Notes with respect to which no Event of Default shall have
occurred.
          (c) Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment
granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of the
Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees that it will not, without the
consent of the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding
Investor Notes, (i) amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender, or
agree to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or
surrender of, the terms of any of the Issuer Assets, including any of the
Transaction Documents or (ii) waive timely observance by SPV under the Transfer
Agreement or the Origination Trust, VMS or the Servicer under the Origination
Trust Documents. Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Issuer
will not, without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee or the
Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Notes, terminate
the Servicer and appoint a successor Servicer in accordance with the Servicing
Agreement and will terminate the Servicer and appoint a successor Servicer in
accordance with the Servicing Agreement if so directed by the Indenture Trustee
