Any Receivable in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid. Notwithstanding the first two sentences of this paragraph, adjustments made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall not require any change in any report previously delivered.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law or (b) upon the assumption, by an agreement supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Transferor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Transferor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, of the obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder by any of its Affiliates or by any other entity if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied; provided that, in either case, the party assuming the obligations and duties of the Servicer qualifies as an Eligible Servicer. Any determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (a) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Transferor, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. No resignation shall become effective until the Indenture Trustee or a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 6.02. The resigning Servicer shall continue to perform its obligations until the earlier of (x) the appointment and acceptance of a Successor Servicer and (y) the Indenture Trustee’s assumption pursuant to Section 6.02. If, within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of the determination that the Servicer may no longer act as Servicer under clause (a) above, the Indenture Trustee is unable to appoint a Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall serve as Successor Servicer (but shall have continued authority to appoint another Person as Successor Servicer). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it is unwilling or legally unable so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the resigning Servicer to appoint any established institution qualifying as an Eligible Servicer as the Successor Servicer hereunder. The Successor Servicer shall give prompt notice to each Rating Agency upon its appointment as Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank, as Servicer, may assign part or all of its obligations and duties as Servicer under this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Bank so long as the Bank shall have fully guaranteed the performance of such obligations and duties under this Agreement. Any such assignment described in the preceding sentence will not constitute a resignation within the meaning of this Section 5.05.

Section 5.06. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral. The Servicer shall provide to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee access to documentation regarding the Accounts and the Receivables in such cases where the Indenture Trustee is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights of Noteholders or by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (a) upon reasonable request, (b) during normal business hours, (c) subject to the Servicer’s normal information security, data protection and confidentiality procedures or such procedures as the Servicer may deem reasonably necessary and (d) at reasonably accessible offices in the continental United States designated by the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 5.06 shall derogate from the obligation of the Transferor, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 5.06 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.06.

Section 5.07. Delegation of Duties. Subject to Section 9.05, in the ordinary course of business, the Servicer may at any time delegate all or part of its duties hereunder to any Person that agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the Account Guidelines and this Agreement.

Any such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties, and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 5.05.

Section 5.08. Examination of Records. The Servicer shall indicate generally in its computer files or other records that the Receivables arising in the Accounts have been conveyed to the Trust pursuant to the Transfer Agreement and assigned to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. The Servicer shall, prior to the sale or transfer to a third party of any receivable held in its custody, examine its computer records and other records to determine that such receivable is not, and does not include, a Receivable, except to the extent such Receivable arises in a Removed Account.

Section 5.09. Notice of Breach of Representations and Warranties. Upon discovery by the Servicer of a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 of the Transfer Agreement, the Servicer shall give prompt written notice to the Transferor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee following such discovery.

ARTICLE VI

SERVICER DEFAULTS

Section 6.01. Servicer Defaults. If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a) any failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit or to give notice or instructions to the Indenture Trustee to make any required payment, transfer or deposit on the date the Servicer is required to do so under the terms of this Agreement, the Indenture or any applicable Indenture Supplement, or within the applicable grace period, which will not exceed five (5) Business Days; provided, however, that any such failure caused by a non-willful act of the Servicer shall not constitute a Servicer Default if the Servicer, acting without willful misconduct, promptly remedies such failure within five (5) Business Days after receiving notice of such failure or otherwise becoming aware of such failure;

(b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement which has an Adverse Effect on any Noteholders and which continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes (or, with respect to any such failure that does not relate to all Series and Classes of Notes, not less than 50% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Series and Classes of Notes to which such failure related); or the Servicer shall assign or delegate its duties under this Agreement, except as permitted by Section 5.02, Section 5.05 and Section 5.07;

(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which has an Adverse Effect on the rights of any Noteholders and which Adverse Effect continues for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice thereof, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes (or, with respect to any such representation, warranty or certification that does not relate to all Series and Classes of Notes, not less than 50% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Series and Classes of Notes adversely affected by such representation, warranty or certification);

(d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a bankruptcy trustee or conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy proceeding or other insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all its property, or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a bankruptcy trustee or a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order

shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable Debtor Relief Law, make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations and such petition shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60) days of the filing thereof; or

(e) any other Servicer Default described in any Indenture Supplement;

then, in the event of any Servicer Default, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Notes, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders) (a “Termination Notice”), may terminate all, but not less than all, of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, if within sixty (60) days of receipt of a Termination Notice the Indenture Trustee does not receive any bids from Eligible Servicers in accordance with Section 6.02(d) to act as a Successor Servicer and receives an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that the Servicer cannot in good faith cure the Servicer Default which gave rise to the Termination Notice, the Indenture Trustee shall assume the role of Successor Servicer.

After receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice, and on the date that a Successor Servicer is appointed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer (a “Service Transfer”) and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered (upon the failure of the Servicer to cooperate) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the failure of the Servicer to execute or deliver such documents or instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Service Transfer. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder, including the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all authority of the Servicer to service the Trust Assets provided for under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all authority over all Collections which shall on the date of transfer be held by the Servicer for deposit, or which have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Collection Account, or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Trust Assets, and in assisting the Successor Servicer. The Servicer shall within twenty (20) Business Days of the date of transfer, transfer its electronic records or electronic copies thereof relating to the Trust Assets to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall promptly transfer to the Successor Servicer all other records, correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing of the Trust Assets in the manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 6.01 shall require the Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which the Servicer deems to be confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be required to enter into such customary licensing, security, data protection and confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall deem reasonably necessary to protect its interests.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to in clause (a) above for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the applicable grace period or under clause (b) or (c) above for a period of sixty (60) Business Days after the applicable grace period,

shall not constitute a Servicer Default if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure arose out of or was caused by an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war, or terrorism, public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, loss or malfunction of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware services), or any Cybersecurity Event, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. The preceding sentence shall not relieve the Servicer from using all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Transferor with an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer giving prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of the efforts undertaken to perform its obligations.

Section 6.02. Indenture Trustee to Act as Successor Servicer; Appointment of Successor Servicer.

(a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 6.01, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice, which date shall not be less than sixty (60) days after receipt of such Termination Notice, unless the Indenture Trustee specifies a different date or a different date is mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall as promptly as possible after the giving of a Termination Notice appoint an Eligible Servicer as a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Transferor. The Transferor shall have the right to nominate to the Indenture Trustee the name of a potential successor servicer, which nominee shall be selected by the Indenture Trustee as the Successor Servicer; but if the Transferor shall fail to nominate a Successor Servicer prior to its duties being terminated pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.02(a), then the Indenture Trustee may obtain bids from any potential successor servicer that otherwise qualifies as an Eligible Servicer. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed or has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed as the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may delegate any of its servicing obligations to an Affiliate or agent in accordance with Section 3.01(b) and Section 5.07.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it is unwilling or legally unable so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the resigning or removed Servicer, to appoint any established institution qualifying as an Eligible Servicer as the Successor Servicer hereunder. The Transferor shall notify each Rating Agency, the Owner Trustee, and the Administrator upon the removal of the Servicer and upon the appointment of a Successor Servicer.

(c) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer.

(d) In connection with any Termination Notice, the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to solicit bids from Eligible Servicers and shall be permitted to appoint any Eligible Servicer submitting such a bid as a Successor Servicer or, as provided in Section 6.02(a), the Successor Servicer nominated by the Transferor, for servicing compensation not in excess of the Servicing Fee plus the sum of the amounts with respect to each Series and with respect to each Distribution Date equal to any Finance Charge Collections allocable to Noteholders of such Series which are payable to the holders of the Transferor Interest after payment of all amounts owing to the Noteholders of such Series with respect to such Distribution Date or required to be deposited in the applicable Issuer Accounts with respect to such Distribution Date; provided, however, that any holder of the Transferor Interest shall be responsible for payment of its portion of such Servicing Fee and all other such amounts in excess of such Servicing Fee. Such compensation will be paid in accordance with the priority of payments specified in the Indenture and applicable Indenture Supplements. Each holder of the Transferor Interest agrees that, if the Bank (or any Successor Servicer) is terminated as Servicer hereunder, the portion of the Finance Charge Collections that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to any Transaction Document shall be reduced by an amount sufficient to pay the Transferor’s share of the compensation of the Successor Servicer.

(e) All authority and power granted to the Successor Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the Trust pursuant to Article IX of the Trust Agreement, and shall pass to and be vested in the Transferor and, without limitation, the Transferor is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Successor Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Successor Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Transferor in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Successor Servicer to conduct servicing of the Receivables. The Successor Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the Transferor or its designee in such electronic form as it may reasonably request and shall transfer all other records, correspondence and documents to it in the manner and at such times as it shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 6.02 shall require the Successor Servicer to disclose to the Transferor information of any kind which the Successor Servicer deems to be confidential, the Transferor shall be required to enter into such customary licensing, security, data protection and confidentiality agreements as the Successor Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interests.

Section 6.03. Notification to Noteholders. Within five (5) Business Days after the Servicer becomes aware of any Servicer Default, the Servicer shall give notice thereof to the Transferor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency, and the Indenture Trustee shall give notice to the Noteholders. Upon any termination or appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this Article, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to the Noteholders.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Noteholders evidencing more than 66 ²/₃% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes of each Series or, with respect to any Series with two or more Classes, of each Class, (or, with respect to any default that does not relate to or affect all Series, 66 ²/₃% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes of each Series to which such default relates or, with respect to any such Series with two or more Classes, of each Class)

may, on behalf of all Noteholders of such Series or Class, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except the failure to make any required deposits. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

TERMINATION

Section 7.01. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trust, the Administrator and the Servicer under this Agreement shall terminate, except with respect to the indemnification obligations described in Section 5.04, the provisions of Section 6.02(e), and the provisions of Section 8.15, on the date on which the Trust is terminated in accordance with Article IX of the Trust Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 8.01. Amendment.

(a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Servicer, the Transferor, the Administrator, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, by a written instrument signed by each of them, without the consent of any of the Noteholders upon, unless otherwise specified in this Section 8.01, (i) delivery to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of an Issuer Tax Opinion, (ii) satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition (which condition shall be applicable unless the related Indenture Supplement expressly provides otherwise with respect to such amendment type), and (iii) delivery to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer, dated the date of any such amendment, stating that the Servicer reasonably believes that such amendment will not have an Adverse Effect.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.01, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by an instrument signed by the Transferor and the Bank to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Agreement to (i) facilitate compliance with the FDIC Rule or changes in laws or regulations applicable to the Servicer, the Transferor, the Administrator, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the transactions described in this Agreement or (ii) cause the provisions herein to conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made with respect to this Agreement in any applicable Registration Statement on Form SF-3, as amended, under the Securities Act, in each case upon delivery by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of (x) an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer, dated the date of any such amendment, to the effect that (A) the Servicer reasonably believes that such amendment will not have an Adverse Effect or (B) such amendment is required to remain in compliance with the FDIC Rule or any other change of law or regulation which applies to the Servicer, the Transferor, the Administrator, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the transactions governed by the Transaction Documents, or such amendment is required to cause the provisions herein to conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made with respect to this Agreement in any applicable Registration Statement on Form SF-3, as amended, under the Securities Act, and (y) an Issuer Tax Opinion with respect to such amendment.

In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.01, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by an instrument signed by the Servicer, the Transferor, the Administrator, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision contained in this Agreement or in any amendment to this Agreement upon delivery by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer, dated the date of any such amendment, to the effect that the Servicer reasonably believes that such amendment will not have an Adverse Effect.

(b) In addition to amendments permitted in Section 8.01(a), this Agreement may also be amended in writing from time to time by the Servicer, the Administrator, the Transferor, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust with the consent of Noteholders evidencing more than 66 ²/₃% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of all affected Series or Classes of Notes for

which the Servicer has not delivered an Officer’s Certificate stating that there is no Adverse Effect, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of any Noteholders. Prior to the execution of any such amendment pursuant to this Section 8.01(b), the Servicer shall furnish notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency.

(c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders under this Section 8.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe in the related Indenture Supplement.

(d) The Owner Trustee is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Any amendment affecting the rights, duties, protections, immunities or indemnities of the Owner Trustee shall require the Owner Trustee’s written consent.

Section 8.02. Protection of Right, Title and Interest in, to and under Trust Assets.

(a) Each of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall give the Servicer prompt notice of (i) any change in its name or (ii) any change in its address as shown on any financing statement filed in connection with the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document if the address so shown ceases to be an address from which information concerning the Trust Assets can be obtained.

(b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee upon the execution and delivery of each amendment to this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01 an Opinion of Counsel to the effect specified in Exhibit B.

Section 8.03. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, including Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law, without reference to its conflict of law provisions and the obligations, rights, and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

(b) Each party hereto hereby consents and agrees that the state or federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes between them pertaining to this Agreement or to any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, that each party hereto acknowledges that any appeals from those courts may have to be heard by a court located outside of the Borough of Manhattan in New York City; provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Transferor or the Issuer from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Receivables or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Transferor or the Issuer. Each party hereto submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each party hereto hereby waives any objection that such party may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief

as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each party hereto hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint and other process issued in any such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaint, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at its address as determined in accordance with Section 8.04, and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such party’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the United States mail, proper postage prepaid. Nothing in this Section 8.03 shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

(c) Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. Therefore, to achieve the best combination of the benefits of the judicial system and of arbitration, the parties hereto waive all rights to trial by jury in any action, suit, or proceeding brought to resolve any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of, or in connection with, related to, or incidental to the relationship established among them in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 8.04. Notices. All demands, notices, instructions, directions and other communications (collectively, “Notices”) under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at, mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by electronic mail:

Section 8.05. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then such covenants, agreements, provisions, or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions, and terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement.

Section 8.06. Further Assurances. The Servicer agrees to undertake and perform, from time to time, any and all acts and to execute any and all further instruments required or reasonably requested by the Owner Trustee, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee designed to more fully effect the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, actions or instruments to facilitate compliance with the FDIC Rule.

Section 8.07. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any party hereto, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided under this Agreement are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 8.08. Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts (and by different parties on separate counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The parties hereto agree that “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this document and any such other documents shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, authentication, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity, enforceability or admissibility as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based record keeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), or the UCC, and the parties hereto hereby waive any objection to the contrary.

Section 8.09. Binding; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, the Noteholders and, in addition, the Owner Trustee shall be a third party beneficiary hereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no other Person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

Section 8.10. Actions by Noteholders.

(a) Wherever in this Agreement a provision is made that an action may be taken or a Notice, demand or instruction given by Noteholders, such action, Notice, demand or instruction may be taken or given by any Noteholder, unless such provision requires a specific percentage of Noteholders.

(b) Any Notice, request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other act by a Noteholder shall bind such Noteholder and every subsequent Holder of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done or omitted to be done by the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Transferor, the Administrator or the Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

Section 8.11. Rule 144A Information. For so long as any of the Notes are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Servicer, the Administrator, and each of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee agree to cooperate with each other and the Transferor to provide to any Holders of such Series or Class, upon the request of such Noteholder, any information required to be provided to such Holder or prospective purchaser to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
