Section 1.12     Amendments.


 


(a)           Any
term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Sponsor, the Administrator, the Issuer and the Depositor without the
consent of the Indenture Trustee, so long as there is no adverse effect on the Indenture Trustee, any Securityholders, the Issuer
or any other Person subject to the satisfaction of one of the following conditions:


 


(i) the Sponsor or the Depositor
delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect
the interests of any Noteholders; or


 


(ii) the Rating Agency Condition
is satisfied with respect to such amendment and the Sponsor or the Administrator notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that
the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment;


 



    11


     


    




 


provided, that in the event that any Trust Certificates
are then held by anyone other than the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, this Agreement may only be amended by the Sponsor,
the Administrator, the Issuer and the Depositor if (i) the Certificateholders evidencing a majority of the Certificate Balance
of the Trust Certificates consent to such amendment or (ii) such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s
Certificate of the Administrator or the Depositor or an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee, materially and adversely
affect the interests of the Certificateholders.


 


(b)            This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Sponsor, the Administrator and the Depositor, without the consent of the
Indenture Trustee, so long as there is no adverse effect on the Indenture Trustee, and with the written consent of the Noteholders
evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes and the consent of the Certificateholders evidencing
not less than a majority of all the percentage interests evidenced by the Certificates, 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.


 


(c)            Any
term or provision of this Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Sponsor, the Administrator and the Depositor,

any Securityholders, the Issuer or any other Person.


 


(d)            Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment, the Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment
to 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. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of Certificateholders
of the execution thereof shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee may require.


 


(e)            Prior
to its execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive
and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel, provided at the expense of the party requesting such amendment, that such amendment is authorized
and permitted by this Agreement. No amendment that adversely affects the Trustees shall be effective without the prior written
consent of the party adversely affected. The Trustees may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which
affects the Owner Trustee’s, the Delaware Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, duties
or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.


 


Section 1.13     Successors

writing by the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition in respect thereof.

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 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 permitted assigns of the parties hereto.
