performance of the Administrator’s duties contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Administrator shall not be required to indemnify
the Issuer or the Delaware Trustee pursuant to this subsection (f)(ii) so long as the Administrator has acted pursuant to the instructions of the Delaware Trustee or the Owner in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

the duties under this Section, it will notify the Issuer and, subject to first obtaining Rating Confirmation, the parties to this Agreement may either amend this Agreement or delegate those duties to another party. However, until such Rating

 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Issuer and the

(the “Delaware Trustee”), The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as eligible lender trustee (the “Eligible Lender

Agreement, the Verification Agent may act either directly or through agents, attorneys, accountants, independent contractors and auditors and enter into agreements with any of them and shall not be liable for the acts and omissions of such agents,
attorneys, accountants, independent contractors and auditors appointed with due care. 
 The Verification Agent may conclusively rely and
shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the property party or parties. 
 It is hereby understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the Verification Agent
shall rely solely on information provided to it by the Administrator or appropriate third party sources in performing its duties as set forth in this Agreement and that the Verification Agent shall have no obligation to monitor the performance of
the Administrator. The parties hereto further agree that the Verification Agent shall have no liability in connection with the performance of the Administrator under this Agreement or the Indenture. 

 Section 2. Information Provided by Issuer. Not later than three (3) Business Days prior
to each Monthly Allocation Date and each Distribution Date, the Issuer shall deliver to the Verification Agent the applicable Servicer’s Report and the applicable Issuer Order in order to enable the Verification Agent to perform its duties
pursuant to Section 1 hereof.  
 Section 3. Indemnification. In performing its duties hereunder, except as otherwise
provided herein, the Verification Agent shall be entitled to the same indemnities, and held to the same standard of care, as is the Trustee under the Indenture. 
 Section 4. Compensation. For so long as the Verification Agent is also acting as the Trustee under the Indenture, the Verification Agent shall waive the separate fee otherwise payable to the Verification
Agent under this Agreement. 
 Section 5. Additional Information to be Furnished. The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer,
shall promptly furnish to the Verification Agent such additional information regarding the Trust Estate as the Verification Agent shall reasonably request for purposes of performing its obligations hereunder. 
 Section 6. Term of Agreement; Resignation and Removal of Verification Agent. 
 (a) This Agreement shall continue in force until the dissolution of the Issuer, upon which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate. 

(b) Subject to Section 6(d) hereof, the Verification Agent may resign its duties hereunder by providing the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee,
the Delaware Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator with at least 60 days’ prior written notice. 
 (c) Subject to
Section 6(d) hereof, the Issuer may remove the Verification Agent without cause by providing the Verification Agent with at least 60 days’ prior written notice. 
 (d) No resignation or removal of the Verification Agent pursuant to this Section shall be effective until (i) a successor Verification Agent shall have been appointed by the Issuer and (ii) such successor
Verification Agent shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Verification Agent is bound hereunder; provided, however, that the Verification Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint a successor Verification Agent. 
 (e) The appointment of any successor Verification Agent shall be effective only if each Rating
Agency shall have been given at least 10 days’ prior notice of such proposed appointment, and a Rating Confirmation shall have occurred with respect to such appointment. 
 Section 7. Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is
executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust Company, not individually or personally but solely as Delaware Trustee of the Issuer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it; (b) each of the representations,
undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Wilmington Trust Company but is made and 

  

 2 

 
intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer; (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on Wilmington Trust
Company, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto;
and (d) under no circumstances shall Wilmington Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligations, representation, warranty or covenant
made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Agreement or any other related document.
