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 the Administrator agrees to comply with all reasonable requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information and shall deliver to the Depositor all information and certifications reasonably required by the Depositor to comply with its Exchange Act reporting obligations, including with respect to any of its predecessors or successors. The obligations of the Administrator to provide such information shall survive the removal or termination of the Administrator as Administrator hereunder.

No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer contained in this Agreement shall be had against any agent, independent contractor, or other Person acting on behalf of the Issuer (including the Administrator and the Owner Trustee) as such by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise: it being expressly agreed and understood that this agreement is solely an obligation of the Issuer as a Delaware statutory trust, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any agent, independent contractor, or other Person acting on behalf of the Issuer (including the Administrator and Owner Trustee), as such, under or by reason of any obligations, covenants or agreements of the Issuer contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by the Issuer of any of its obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute or construction, of every such agent, independent contractor, or Person is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement.

20. Third-Party Beneficiary. The Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders is an express third-party beneficiary to this Agreement, 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 (1) year and one (1) day after the Notes have been Paid In Full, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer to invoke the process of any court of 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.

22. Liability of Administrator. Neither the Administrator nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, or the Noteholders, except as provided in this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Administrator against any liability by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties. The Administrator and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Administrator may conclusively reasonably rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement or any other Basic Document.

23. Relocation. If the Administrator’s acting as administrator of the Issuer would cause a tax to be imposed by the State of California on the gross income of the Issuer or on dealer intangibles deemed to be owned by the Issuer, and if the Administrator does not assign this Agreement to a successor pursuant to Section 12, the Administrator shall, if in its reasonable discretion it believes it necessary, relocate its trust administrative functions such that the Issuer shall not, as evidenced by an opinion of a nationally recognized California tax counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Noteholders representing a majority of the Note Balance of the Notes Outstanding of the Controlling Class, be subject to said California tax on its gross income or on any dealer intangibles.

24. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and CRB, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, are required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will provide Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and CRB, as the case may be, with such information as either may request in order for Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and CRB, as the case may be, to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.
