Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) constitute the Administrator and any of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee[, the Delaware Trustee] or the Indenture Trustee as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity, (ii) be construed to impose any liability as such on any of them or (iii) be deemed to confer on any of them any  express, implied or
apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the others.

 

7.            Other Activities of Administrator.  Nothing herein shall prevent the Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its or their sole discretion, from acting as an administrator for any other person or entity, or in a similar capacity therefor, even though such person or entity may engage in business activities similar to those of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee[, the Delaware Trustee] or the Indenture Trustee.

No amendment otherwise permitted under this Section 11 may (x) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the 20[__]-[__] Leases or distributions required to be made for the benefit of any Noteholders or Certificateholders without the consent of all Noteholders, Certificateholders and the holder of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate adversely affected thereby, or (y) reduce the percentage of the Notes or Certificates which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Noteholders and Certficateholders adversely affected thereby; provided, that any amendment referred to in clause (x) or (y) above shall be deemed to not
adversely affect any Noteholder if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied in respect of such proposed amendment.  No amendment referred to in clause (x) in the immediately preceding sentence shall be permitted unless (i) an Officer’s Certificate shall have been delivered by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee certifying that such officer reasonably believes that such proposed amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder or Certificateholder whose consent was not obtained and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel shall be furnished to the Owner Trustee, [the Delaware Trustee] and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such amendment shall not (A) affect the treatment of the Notes as debt for federal income tax purposes, (B) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the Notes for federal income tax purposes or (C)

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Certificateholder and each of the Rating Agencies.

 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholders, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee 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 the execution thereof by the Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

12.            Successor and Assigns.  This Agreement may not be assigned by the Administrator unless such assignment is consented to in writing by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, and the conditions precedent to appointment of a successor Administrator set forth in Section 8 are satisfied.  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, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture 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.

 

13.            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), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

16.            Severability of Provisions.  If any one or more of the agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or the other
rights of the parties hereto.

 

17.            Not Applicable to TMCC in Other Capacities.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any obligation, right or benefit TMCC may have in any other capacity or under any Basic Document.

 

18.            Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been countersigned by [__________], not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuer, and by [__________], not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.  In no event shall [__________], in its individual
capacity, [__________], in its individual capacity, or the Certificateholder 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.

19.            Limitation on Liability of Administrator.  Neither the Administrator nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Administrator shall be under any liability to TMCC, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, [the Delaware Trustee,] the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Administrator or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement.  The Administrator and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Administrator may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

 

20.            Additional Requirements of the Administrator.

 

(a) Reporting Requirements.

 

(i)   If so requested by the Issuer for the purpose of satisfying its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of asset-backed securities, the Administrator shall (i) notify the Issuer in writing of any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Administrator and (ii) provide to the Issuer a description of such proceedings.

 

(ii)   As a condition to the succession to the Administrator by any Person as permitted by Section 8 hereof, the Administrator shall provide to the Issuer, at least 10 Business Days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment, (x) written notice to the Issuer, of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing all information in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to any class of asset-backed securities.

 

(iii)   In addition to such information as the Administrator, as administrator, is obligated to provide pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement, if so requested by the Issuer, the Administrator shall provide such information regarding the performance or servicing of the 20[__]-[__] Leases as is reasonably required to facilitate preparation of distribution reports in accordance with Item 1121 of Regulation AB.

On or before 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 20[__], the Administrator shall, if requested by the Issuer, not later than March 1st of the calendar year in which such certification is to be delivered, deliver to the Issuer and any other Person that will be responsible for signing a Sarbanes Certification on behalf of an asset-backed issuer with respect to a securitization transaction, a
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Administrator acknowledges that the Issuer may rely on the certification provided by the Administrator pursuant to such clause in signing a Sarbanes Certification and filing such with the Commission.  The Issuer shall not request delivery of such certification unless the Depositor is required under the Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to an issuing entity whose asset pool includes the 20[__]-[__] Leases.

 

  

14

  

(c) Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The Issuer and the Administrator acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 20 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Issuer with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission.

The Administrator acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or
otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any other party to the Transaction Documents in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB.  In connection therewith, the Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Issuer to deliver to the Issuer (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Issuer, to permit the Issuer to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.

 

The Issuer (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Administrator by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Issuer’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.

 

21.            No Petition. Each of the parties hereto, by entering into this Agreement, hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not at any time acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer or the Depositor to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Titling Trust, any Special
Purpose Affiliate that holds a beneficial interest in the Titling Trust or any Affiliate or beneficiary of the Titling Trust, 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 Titling Trust, any Special Purpose Affiliate that holds a beneficial interest in the Titling Trust or any Affiliate or beneficiary of the Titling Trust, as the case may be, or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Titling Trust, any Special Purpose Affiliate that holds a beneficial interest in the Titling Trust or any Affiliate or beneficiary of the Titling Trust, in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Certificates, this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents prior to the date that is one year and
one day after the date on which the Indenture is terminated.  This Section 21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Administrator under this Agreement.

22.            Third-Party Beneficiary.  [Each of the]/[The] Owner Trustee [and the Delaware Trustee] is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and is entitled to the rights and benefits given to the Owner Trustee [and Delaware Trustee, respectively,] hereunder and may enforce the provisions applicable to the Owner
Trustee [or Delaware Trustee, respectively,] as if the Owner Trustee [or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable,] were a party hereto.
