                  provision.

                  Agreements to the contrary, the Administrator shall be
                  responsible for performance of the duties of the Trust or the
                  Owner Trustee set forth in Section 5.5(a), (b), (c), (d) and

                  a certificate of an Authorized Officer in form and substance

                  any tax withholding is then required and, if required, the
                  procedures to be followed with respect thereto to comply with
                  the requirements of the Code. The Administrator shall be
                  required to update the letter in each instance that any
                  additional tax withholding is subsequently required or any
                  previously required tax withholding shall no longer be
                  required.

         (4)      The Administrator shall perform the duties of the
                  Administrator specified in Section 10.2 of the Trust Agreement
                  required to be performed in connection with the resignation or
                  removal of the Owner Trustee, and any other duties expressly

                  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

         g. Non-Ministerial Matters. With respect to matters that in the
reasonable judgment of the Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator

                                       9
<PAGE>   12

by the Issuer, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee with the written
consent of the Owner Trustee and the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less
than a majority of the Notes Outstanding and the Certificateholders of
Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance 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 Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such
amendment may increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or
delay the timing of, collections of payments on Receivables or distributions
that are required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or
Certificateholders or reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Noteholders and
Certificateholders which are required to consent to any such amendment, without

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not amend this Agreement
without the consent of the Seller, which permission shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

         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. 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. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall
bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto.

convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning,
construction or effect of this Agreement.

of which when so executed shall be an original, but all of which together shall
constitute but one and the same agreement.

         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.

         20. Third-Party Beneficiary. The Owner Trustee is a third-party
beneficiary to this Agreement and is entitled to the rights and benefits
hereunder and may enforce the provisions hereof as if it were a party hereto.

         21. Nonpetition Covenants.

         a. Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, the Seller,
the Administrator, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall not, prior
