     SECTION 1. AMENDMENT. Section 1(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new clause (v) as follows:
     “(v) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Administrator shall, on behalf of the Issuer, execute and deliver any agreements, reports, undertakings, certifications, notices or authorizations (collectively the “TALF Related Documents”) required or that it deems advisable for purposes of the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility created and authorized by the rules of the United States Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, in such form as the Transferor shall approve as evidenced conclusively by the Administrator’s execution thereof. For all purposes of this Agreement, the TALF Related Documents shall be deemed to constitute “Related Agreements” as defined in this Agreement.”
     SECTION 2. EFFECTIVENESS. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date first set above.

Except with respect to its consent to this Amendment in its individual capacity pursuant to Section 11 of the Agreement, this Amendment has been signed by U.S. Bank Trust National Association not in its individual capacity, but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of Issuer and in no event shall U.S. Bank Trust National Association in its individual capacity or any beneficial owner of Issuer have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of Issuer hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer. For all purposes of this Amendment, in the performance of any duties or obligations hereunder, Owner Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity) shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement.
     SECTION 4. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) As herein amended, the Agreement (as so amended, the “Amended Agreement”), shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified

 


 

and confirmed in all respects. After the effectiveness hereof, all references in the Agreement to “the Agreement,” “this Agreement,” “hereof,” “hereto” or words of similar import shall in each case be deemed to refer to the Amended Agreement.
     (b) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
     (c) THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
