Section 1.13 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Administrative Agent unless such assignment is
previously consented to in writing by the Issuing Entity 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 Administrative Agent is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the Administrative Agent without the consent of the Issuing Entity or the Owner Trustee
to a corporation or other organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the Administrative Agent; provided, that such successor organization executes and delivers to the Issuing Entity, 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 Administrative Agent is bound hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto. 
 Section 1.14 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law
provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York). 
 Section 1.15
Headings. The headings of the various Sections herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

Section 1.17 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, 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 1.18 Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee and
Indenture Trustee. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been countersigned
by Wilmington Trust, National Association in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuing Entity and in no event shall Wilmington Trust, National Association in its individual capacity or any beneficial owner of the Issuing Entity have any liability
for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuing Entity hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuing Entity. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the
performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuing Entity hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles Six, Seven and Eight of the Trust Agreement. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement has been executed by U.S. Bank as Indenture Trustee and in
no event shall U.S. Bank have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuing Entity hereunder or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of
which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuing Entity. 
 Section 1.19 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. 

Section 1.20 No Petition. Each of the parties hereto covenants and agrees that prior to the date that is one year and one day
after the date upon which all obligations under each Securitized Financing have been paid in full, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against the Grantor, the Depositor, the Titling Trustee, the Titling Trust, the
