issued substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is incorporated by
reference herein. The Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Owner
Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer or other
authorized signatory of the Owner Trustee. A Certificate bearing the manual or

shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Owner Trust,
shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be
so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificate or
did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such
Certificate. The Certificate
7
shall not entitle its Holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid
for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate
of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed
by the Owner Trustee, or the Owner Trustee's authentication agent, by manual
or facsimile signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive
evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. The Certificate shall be dated the date of its
authentication.

Agreement and the Deposit and Administration Agreement. In no event shall the

its president or any vice president, without further action by the Depositor.

extent permitted by applicable law, the Certificate (or any interest therein)

disposed of by the Depositor to any Person.

Certificate. If (a) the mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the
Owner Trustee, or if the Owner Trustee shall receive evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the Certificate and (b)
there shall be delivered to the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as
may be required by it to save it harmless, then the Owner Trustee shall
execute and the Owner Trustee, or the Owner Trustee's authenticating agent,

destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate. In connection with
the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.5, the Owner Trustee
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive
evidence of a beneficial interest in the Owner Trust, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time. The provisions of this Section 3.5 are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement of the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate.

appoint one or more authenticating agents with respect to the Certificate
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Owner Trustee in
authenticating the Certificate in connection with the issuance, delivery,
registration of transfer, exchange or repayment of the Certificate. Whenever
reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of the Certificate
by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee's certificate of authentication,
such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the
Owner Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the Owner Trustee by an authenticating agent. Each
authenticating agent shall be subject to acceptance by the Depositor.
(b) Any institution succeeding to the corporate agency
business of an authenticating agent shall continue to be an authenticating
agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of the Owner Trustee or such authenticating agent.
(c) An authenticating agent may at any time resign by
giving written notice of resignation to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor.
The Owner Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an authenticating
agent by giving notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the
Depositor. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time an authenticating agent shall cease to be
acceptable to the Owner Trustee or the Depositor, the Owner Trustee promptly
may appoint a successor authenticating agent with the consent of the
Depositor. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named
as an authenticating agent.
(d) The Depositor shall pay the authenticating agent from
time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 3.6.
(e) The provisions of Sections 6.1, 6.3, 6.4, 6.6, 7.1 and
7.2 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

counsel in writing, that such action is likely to result in personal liability
to the Owner Trustee (in such capacity or individually), is contrary to the
terms of this Agreement or any other Basic Document or is contrary to law.
(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between
alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this
Agreement or any other Basic Document or is unsure as to the application of
any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, or if any such
provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in
conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this
Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is
incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to
take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give
notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the
Certificateholder requesting instruction as to the course of action to be
adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance
with any written instruction of the Certificateholder received, the Owner
Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the
Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten days
of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be
specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may,
but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not
inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, as it shall
deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholder, and shall have no
liability to any Person for such action or inaction.
SECTION 5.4. No Duties Except as Specified in this
Agreement or in Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall undertake to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement and the other Basic Documents, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the other Basic Documents.
The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any
payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal
with the Owner Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any
action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated
12
hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by
the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received
by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3; and no implied duties or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any other Basic Document
against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for
filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any
time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security
interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any filing for
the Owner Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to record this
Agreement or any other Basic Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees
that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be
necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Owner Trust Estate that
result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee, in its
individual capacity, that are not related to the ownership or the
administration of the Owner Trust Estate.
SECTION 5.5. No Action Except under Specified Documents or
Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose
of or otherwise deal with any part of the Owner Trust Estate except (i) in
accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the
Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Basic
Documents, and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered
to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3.
SECTION 5.6. Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not (a)
take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Owner Trust set
forth in Section 2.3 or (b) take any action or amend this Agreement in any
manner that, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Owner
Trustee, would result in the Owner Trust becoming taxable as a corporation for
United States federal income tax purposes. The Certificateholder shall not
direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of
this Section.
SECTION 5.7. Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions. (a)
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Owner Trustee
shall not be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the
State of Delaware, other than as set forth in the last sentence of this
Section 5.7, if the taking of such action will (i) require the consent or
approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the
registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state
or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the
State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge
under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political subdivisions thereof in
existence on the date hereof other than the State of Delaware becoming payable
by the Owner Trustee; or (iii) subject the Owner Trustee to personal
jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes
of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions
by the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby. The Owner
Trustee shall be entitled to obtain advice of counsel (which advice shall be
an expense of the Depositor) to determine whether any action required to be
taken pursuant to this Agreement results in the consequences described in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence. In the event that said
counsel advises the Owner
13
Trustee that such action will result in such consequences, the Owner Trustee
will, at the expense of the Depositor, appoint an additional trustee pursuant
to Section 9.5 to proceed with such action.

governing the banking or trust powers of the Owner Trustee or any judgment,
writ, decree or order applicable to it, or constitute any default under its

instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report,
opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and

may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other
governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such
resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full
force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of
which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all
purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice
president or by the treasurer, secretary or other authorized officers of the
relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall
constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or
omitted to
16

COMPENSATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE
SECTION 7.1. Owner Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Owner
Trustee shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as
have been separately agreed upon before the date hereof between the Depositor
and the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to be
reimbursed by the Depositor for its other reasonable expenses hereunder,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such
agents, representatives, experts and counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ
in connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and its duties
hereunder except any such expenses as may arise from its gross negligence,
wilful misfeasance, or bad faith or that is the responsibility of the
Certificateholder under this Agreement.
SECTION 7.2. Indemnification. The Depositor shall be
liable as primary
17
obligor for, and shall indemnify the Owner Trustee (in such capacity or
individually) and its successors, assigns, agents and servants (collectively,
the "Indemnified Parties") from and against, any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, taxes, claims, actions and suits, and any and
all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable legal
fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively,
"Expenses") which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against the Owner Trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement, the other Basic Documents, the Owner Trust
Estate, the administration of the Owner Trust Estate or the action or inaction
of the Owner Trustee hereunder, except only that the Depositor shall not be
liable for or required to indemnify the Owner Trustee from and against
Expenses arising or resulting from any of the matters described in the third
sentence of Section 6.1. The indemnities contained in this Section shall
survive the resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee or the termination
of this Agreement. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental
or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted
against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to this Section 7.2, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
Depositor in writing, and the Depositor upon request of the Indemnified Party
shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (or,
with the consent of the Depositor, counsel selected by the Indemnified Party
acceptable to the Depositor) to represent the Indemnified Party and any others
the Depositor may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable
fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. The Depositor
shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or proceeding effected
without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a
final judgment for the plaintiff, the Depositor agrees to indemnify any
Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. The Depositor shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could
have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject
matter of such proceeding.
SECTION 7.3. Payments to Owner Trustee. Any amounts paid
to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Article VII shall be deemed not to be a
part of the Owner Trust Estate immediately after such payment.
ARTICLE VIII.
TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT
SECTION 8.1. Termination of Trust Agreement. (a) The Owner
Trust shall terminate upon the final distribution by the Owner Trustee of all
moneys or other property or proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture, the Deposit and Administration Agreement and
the Statutory Trust Act. Any money or other property held as
18
part of the Owner Trust Estate following such distribution, after satisfaction
of all liabilities of the Owner Trust in accordance with Section 3808 of the
Statutory Trust Act, shall be distributed to the Certificateholder. The
bankruptcy, death, incapacity, liquidation, dissolution or termination of the
Depositor or Certificateholder (or any other beneficiary) shall not (x)
operate to revoke or terminate this Agreement or the Owner Trust, or (y)
entitle the Certificateholder's (or any other beneficiary) legal
representatives to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in
any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Owner Trust
or Owner Trustee Estate or (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and

the Depositor nor the Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or
terminate the Owner Trust.
(c) Except as provided in this Section 8.1(c), neither the
Depositor nor the Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate
the Owner Trust or this Agreement. The Depositor and the Owner Trustee
acknowledge that the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, is a
third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the
terms of this Agreement to the same extent as it was a signatory hereto. For
so long as the Notes are outstanding, neither the Owner Trust nor this
Agreement shall be revoked without the prior written consent of the Indenture
Trustee. The Depositor and the Owner Trustee acknowledge that the Indenture
Trustee, as an agent of the Noteholders, maintains a legitimate interest in
ensuring that the Owner Trust is not revoked prior to the fulfillment of the
Owner Trust objectives. In no event may this Agreement be amended without the
prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee if the effect of such amendment
is the revocation or termination of this Owner Trust other than in accordance
with this Section 8.1. Upon the winding up of the Owner Trust in accordance
with the Statutory Trust Act, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate of
Trust to be canceled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the
Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of Section 3810 of the
Statutory Trust Act and thereupon the Owner Trust and this Agreement (other
than Article VII) shall terminate.
ARTICLE IX.
SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES
SECTION 9.1 Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee.
The Owner Trustee shall at all times be an entity authorized to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities; and having (or having a parent) which has a rating of at least
Baa3 by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇, at least BBB- by Standard & Poor's and, if rated by Fitch, at
least BBB- by Fitch, or if not rated, otherwise satisfactory to each Note
Rating Agency. If such entity shall publish reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising
or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined
capital
19
and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.2. In
addition, at all times the Owner Trustee or a co-trustee shall be a person
that satisfies the requirements of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Act.
SECTION 9.2 Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The
Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Administrator. Upon receiving
such notice of resignation, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a
successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to
the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.
If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time
the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property
shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the
Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Administrator may remove the Owner
Trustee. If the Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator shall
promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing
Owner Trustee so removed and one copy of which shall be delivered to the
successor Owner Trustee, and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Owner
Trustee shall be made to the outgoing Owner Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and
appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of
this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the
successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.3 and payment of all fees and
expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide
notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Note
Rating Agencies.
SECTION 9.3. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner
Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.2 shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective
and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or convey-
20
ance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if
originally named as the Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall
upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee
all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and
the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver
such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all
such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner
Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the
successor of such Owner Trustee to the Certificateholder, the Indenture
Trustee, the Noteholders and the Note Rating Agencies. If the Administrator
shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment
by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such
notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator. Any successor Owner
Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be eligible to act as a
trustee in accordance with Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Act and,
following compliance with this Section, shall become fully vested with the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this
Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. Any
successor Owner Trustee appointed hereunder shall promptly file an amendment
to the Certificate of Trust as required by the Statutory Trust Act.
SECTION 9.4. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any
corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or
any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee
hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1,
without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided further that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of
such merger or consolidation to the Note Rating Agencies.
SECTION 9.5. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate
Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Owner Trust Estate may at the time be located, the
Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint at the expense of the
Depositor one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as
co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in
21
such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Owner Trust, or any part
thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Owner
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not
have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to
Section 9.1, and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.3.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised
or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or
co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee
or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any
law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to
be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Owner
Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or
co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;
(ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under
this Agreement; and
(iii) the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly
may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner
Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate
trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every
instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this
Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with
the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein,
subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every
provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the
liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such
instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to
the Administrator.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint
the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to
22
do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in
its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies
and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent
permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
(b) If, at any time, the Owner Trustee shall no longer
satisfy the requirements of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Act, the
Owner Trustee and the Administrator acting jointly shall appoint a co-trustee
that meets the requirements of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Act.
Upon acceptance of such appointment, the Owner Trustee and the co-trustee
appointed pursuant to this Section 9.5(b) shall promptly file an amendment to
the Certificate of Trust as required by the Statutory Trust Act.
ARTICLE X.
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 10.1. Supplements and Amendments. This Agreement
may be amended by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, with prior written
notice to the Note Rating Agencies, without the consent of the Indenture
Trustee, any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, to cure any
ambiguity or defect, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement
or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder; provided,
however, that such amendment will not (i) as evidenced by an Officer's

the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder; provided that no such
amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or
