      (d) The Custodian will confirm that the Issuer has received a written acknowledgement from the Electronic Chattel Paper Sub-Custodian that the Electronic Chattel Paper Sub-Custodian is acting solely as agent of the Custodian for the benefit of the Trust Collateral Agent with respect to the Receivables.

    5. Amendments to Annex A. Annex A is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
