activities in connection with the Collateral (including the Related
Agreements) as are not covered by any of the foregoing provisions and
as are expressly requested by the Owner Trustee and are reasonably
within the capability of the Administrator.

Trustee, which shall perform the obligations of the Administrator
thereunder. In connection with paragraph (ii) above, the Accountants
will provide prior to December 31, 199 , a letter in form and

Issuer than would be available from unaffiliated parties.

judgment of the Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator
shall not take any action unless within a reasonable time before the
taking of such action, the Administrator shall have notified the Owner

include, without limitation:

at any time during normal business hours.

Administrator shall furnish to the Issuer from time to time such additional
information regarding the Collateral as the Issuer shall reasonably request.
Section 5. Independence of the Administrator. For all purposes of
this Agreement, the Administrator shall be an independent contractor and shall
not be subject to the supervision of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee with
respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its
obligations hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by the Issuer, the
Administrator shall have no authority to act for or represent the Issuer or the
Owner Trustee in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the
Issuer or the Owner Trustee.

shall (i) constitute the Administrator and either of the Issuer or the Owner
Trustee as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate,
unincorporated business or other separate entity, (ii) be construed to impose
any liability as such on any of them or (iii) be deemed to confer on any of
them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or
liability on behalf of the others.
Section 7. Other Activities of Administrator. Nothing herein shall
prevent the Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses
or, in its sole discretion, from acting in a similar capacity as an

(ii) a court having jurisdiction in the premises
shall enter a decree or order for relief, and such decree or

this paragraph shall not apply at such times as the Trustee shall be
the Successor Servicer.
