     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. 


     14. GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 


     15. Headings.  The Section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not
be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement. 


     16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each 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. 


     18. Not Applicable to the Bank in Other Capacities. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right or
obligation the Bank may have in any capacity other than as Administrator. 


     19. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee.  (a) Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, this instrument has been signed on behalf of the Issuer by Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuer and in no event shall Wells Fargo
Delaware Trust Company in its individual capacity or any beneficial owner of the Issuer have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be
had solely to the assets of the Issuer. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer


12












hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement. 


     (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement has been countersigned by The Bank of New York not in its
individual capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee and in no event shall The Bank of New York have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer 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 Issuer. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of its duties or obligations hereunder or in the performance of any
duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Article VI of the Indenture.



     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.  Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, the Administrator and the
Indenture Trustee shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of this Agreement with respect to the Issuer, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or
government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer under any federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other
similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer.
