ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.01. Defined Terms Not Defined Herein. All capitalized terms used herein that are not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be.

ARTICLE II

AMENDMENTS

SECTION 2.01. Amendment to Section 1.01.

(a) The definition of “Determination Date” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and inserted in its place shall be the following:

“Determination Date” shall mean, unless otherwise specified in the Supplement for a particular Series, the third Business Day preceding each Distribution Date.

(b) The definition of “Eligible Deposit Account” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and inserted in its place shall be the following:

“Eligible Deposit Account” shall mean either (a) a segregated account with an Eligible Institution (other than any Account Owner) or (b) a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution (other than any Account Owner) organized under the laws of the United States or any one of the states thereof, including the District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), and acting as a trustee for funds deposited in such account, so long as the rating of any of the unsecured or unguaranteed senior debt securities of such depository institution satisfies the publicly published controlling and applicable ratings criteria established by each Rating Agency.

(c) The definition of “Eligible Institution” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and inserted in its place shall be the following:

“Eligible Institution” shall mean the Trustee or any depository institution organized under the laws of the United States, any one of the states thereof or the District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), so long as such depository institution’s long-term unsecured debt rating or its certificate of deposit rating satisfies the publicly published controlling and applicable ratings criteria established by each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the previous sentence any institution the appointment of which satisfies the Rating Agency Condition shall be considered an Eligible Institution. If so qualified, the Servicer may be considered an Eligible Institution for the purposes of this definition.

SECTION 2.02. Amendment to Section 4.02.

(a) The third paragraph of Section 4.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and inserted in its place shall be the following:

Funds on deposit in the Collection Account (other than investment earnings and amounts deposited pursuant to Sections 2.06, 9.01, 10.01 or 12.02) shall at the written direction of the Servicer (or its agent appointed as provided below) be invested by the

Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer (or its agent appointed as provided below); provided, however, that if no such written direction is provided, funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall remain uninvested. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.07. Subject to the first sentence of this paragraph, investments of funds representing Collections collected during any Monthly Period shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available no later than the close of business on the next Transfer Date following such Monthly Period in amounts sufficient to the extent of such funds to make the required distributions on such Distribution Date. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Trustee shall sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible Investment before its maturity, if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment; provided further, however, that the Servicer (or its agent appointed as provided below) shall deliver prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such default; and provided further that, subject to Section 11.01, the Trustee will not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Collection Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in accordance with their terms. Unless directed by the Servicer (or its agent appointed as provided below), funds deposited in the Collection Account on a Transfer Date with respect to the immediately succeeding Distribution Date are not required to be invested overnight. On each Distribution Date, all interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be paid to the Transferors, except as otherwise specified in any Supplement. The Trustee shall bear no responsibility or liability for any losses resulting from investment or reinvestment of any funds in accordance with this Section 4.02. The Servicer may appoint as its agent under a separate agreement a registered investment advisor and authorize such agent to give instructions on behalf of the Servicer to the Trustee for funds to be invested and reinvested in one or more Eligible Investments. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee with a written direction certifying any such appointment. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in acting upon, instructions received from such agent on behalf of the Servicer.

(b) The first three sentences of the fifth paragraph of Section 4.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

Funds on deposit in the Special Funding Account shall at the written direction of the Servicer be invested by the Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer; provided, however, that if no such written direction is provided, funds on deposit in the Special Funding Account shall remain uninvested. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.07. Subject to the first sentence of this paragraph, funds on deposit in the Special Funding Account on any Distribution Date will be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available on the next Distribution Date.
