WHEREAS, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Administrator and the Administrative Agent have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, that the Existing Indenture be amended to reflect certain agreed upon revisions to the terms of the Existing Indenture;

WHEREAS, Section 12.1(c) of the Indenture provides that the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion) may at any time enter into an amendment to the Indenture without the consent of any of the Noteholders or any other Person, upon: (1) delivery of an Issuer Tax Opinion for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Existing Indenture, or modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders of the Notes under the Indenture, (2) delivery by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Issuer reasonably believes that such amendment will not have an Adverse Effect on any Outstanding Notes and is not reasonably expected to have an Adverse Effect at any time in the future (“No Adverse Effect Officer’s Certificate”) and (3) the receipt of notice from each Note Rating Agency currently rating the Outstanding Notes confirming in writing to the Indenture Trustee that such amendment will not cause a Ratings Effect on any Outstanding Notes (“Rating Agency No-Downgrade Letter”).
