WHEREAS, the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel stating that this Amendment is authorized or permitted by the Servicing Agreement and that all conditions to the execution of this document have been satisfied;

Section 2. Amendment to Section 6.11(c). Section 6.11 of the Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read:

“(c) Not less than semi-annually (except in the case of the first reconciliation after the first Payment Date, which will be longer than six months), the Servicer will compare Actual FRC Collections to the Estimated FRC Collections that have been remitted to the Indenture Trustee. Such reconciliation will be conducted within sixty (60) days of each Payment Date and reflected in a Reconciliation Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. The Servicer shall calculate the amount of any Remittance Shortfall or Excess Remittance for the immediately preceding Reconciliation Period, and (A) if a Remittance Shortfall exists, the Servicer shall make a supplemental remittance, to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account within ten (10) days, or (B) if an Excess Remittance exists, the Servicer will reduce the Daily Remittance(s) commencing the next month following the date the Reconciliation Certificate is delivered to the Indenture Trustee and continuing until the Excess Remittance is eliminated. If there is a Remittance Shortfall, the amount which the Servicer remits to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account on the relevant date set forth above shall be increased by the amount of such Remittance Shortfall, such increase coming from the Servicer’s own funds. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer is the owner of and


has the legal right to all Fixed Recovery Charges received by the Servicer, and that the daily and reconciliation calculations and remittances permitted by this Servicing Agreement, which are based upon estimates of the Fixed Recovery Charges received by the Servicer, is made for convenience and cost effectiveness given the current billing system of the Servicer. The Servicer agrees that in the event any Servicer Default hereunder or if otherwise required or permitted, as provided in Section 6(e)(ii) of Annex I, the Servicer, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, will promptly, but not later than 60 days follow such request, provide to the Indenture Trustee a reconciliation of actual Fixed Recovery Charges received by the Servicer and the Fixed Recovery Charges remitted by the Servicer.”
