Section 12.           Amendments.


 


(a)          This
Agreement may be amended by the Issuer, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee, but without the consent of the Owner Trustee, any
of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement, or for
the purpose of correcting any inconsistency with the Prospectus, or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders
subject to the satisfaction of one of the following conditions:


 


(i)           the
Issuer or the Administrator delivers an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that
such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders (and, if the Certificates are then held by anyone
other than the Depositor or a U.S. Affiliate of the Depositor, the Certificateholders); or


 


(ii)          the
Rating Agency Condition is satisfied (other than with respect to S&P, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with
respect to S&P if S&P is rating any Outstanding Class of Notes) with respect to such action.


 


(b)          This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Issuer, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee, with the prior written consent
of the Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes, 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 shall (i) reduce the interest rate or
principal amount of any Note or delay the Stated Maturity Date of any Note without the consent of the Holder of such Note or (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Securityholders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Noteholders holding all Outstanding Notes and Certificateholders holding all outstanding Certificates.


 


Promptly after the execution
of any amendment or consent, the Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each
Securityholder, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency.


 


It shall not be necessary for
the consent of Securityholders pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.


 


Prior to the execution of any
amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely
upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The Owner Trustee,
on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment that affects the
Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 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 (other than with respect to S&P,
but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to S&P if S&P is rating any Outstanding Class of Notes)
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.

or effect of this Agreement.


 


Section 16.            Counterparts;
Electronic Signatures and Transmission.


 


(a)          This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
this Agreement by Electronic Transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.


 


(b)          For
purposes of this Agreement, any reference to “written” or “in writing” means any form of written communication,
including, without limitation, electronic signatures, and any such written communication may be transmitted by Electronic Transmission.
The Indenture Trustee and the Issuer are authorized to accept written instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications
signed manually, by way of faxed signatures, or delivered by Electronic Transmission. In the absence of bad faith or negligence on its
part, each of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer may conclusively rely on the fact that the Person sending instructions, directions,
reports, notices or other communications or information by Electronic Transmission is, in fact, a Person authorized to give such instructions,
directions, reports, notices or other communications or information on behalf of the party purporting to send such Electronic Transmission
and, in the absence of bad faith or negligence, shall not have any liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or
sustained by any party as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications
or information to the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, including, without limitation, the risk of either the Indenture Trustee or Issuer
acting on unauthorized instructions, notices, reports or other communications or information, and the risk of interception and misuse

words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating
to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic
signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability
as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the
extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or any
other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Indenture Trustee that
the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary and/or sensitive information and sent by Electronic
Transmission will be encrypted. The recipient of the Electronic Transmission may be required to complete a one-time registration process.


 


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.


 


Section 18.           Not
Applicable to Citibank, N.A. in Other Capacities. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any obligation Citibank, N.A. may have in
