Acceptance of Appointment and Other Matters Relating to the Servicer (a) The Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables, shall collect payments due under the Receivables and shall charge-off as uncollectible Receivables, all in accordance with its customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing wholesale receivables comparable to the Receivables which the Servicer services for its own account and in accordance with the Floorplan Financing Guidelines. The Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through any party properly designated by it hereunder, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 10.01, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered, unless such power and authority is revoked by the Trustee on account of the occurrence of a Service Default pursuant to Section 10.01, (i) to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account and any Series Account as set forth in this Agreement, (ii) to instruct the Trustee to take any action required or permitted under any Enhancement, (iii) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and, after the delinquency of any Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable Requirements of Law, to commence enforcement proceedings with respect to such Receivables, (iv) to make any filings, reports, notices, applications, registrations with, and seek any consents or authorizations from, the Securities and Exchange Commission and any State securities authority on behalf of the Trust as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any Federal or State securities laws or reporting requirement, and (v) to delegate certain of its servicing, collection, enforcement and administrative duties hereunder with respect to the Accounts and the Receivables to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the Floorplan Financing Guidelines and this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, any Agent and any Enhancement Providers in writing of any such delegation of its duties which is not in the ordinary course of its business, that no delegation will relieve the Servicer of its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties and that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to any such delegation. The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. (b) In the event that the Seller is unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 9.02 or any court of competent jurisdiction ordering that the Seller not transfer any additional Principal Receivables to the Trust) then, in any such event, the Servicer agrees (i) to give prompt written notice thereof to any Enhancement Providers, any Agent and each Rating Agency and (ii) that it shall in any such event allocate after the occurrence of such event, payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account, subject to the proviso set forth in Section 2.06(b), and to have such payments applied as Collections in accordance with Section 4.
Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR LIBOR shall be calculated by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the definition of LIBOR. Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Securities Administrator will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination Date. The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks (after consultation with the Depositor). Each “Reference Bank” shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common control with, the Securities Administrator and shall have an established place of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to act as such or if the Securities Administrator should terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after consultation with the Depositor). The Securities Administrator shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control. The Interest Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator on each LIBOR Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. The Securities Administrator shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain quotations from the Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic mean referred to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided for in this Section 4.04 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and each Interest Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Securities Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
