or to such other address or electronic mail address as any party shall have provided to the other parties in writing. Any notice required to be in writing hereunder shall be deemed given if such notice is mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, hand-delivered or received by electronic mail to the address of such party as provided above; provided, that, so long as World Omni is the Administrator, the Administrator’s obligation to deliver or provide any demand, delivery, notice, communication or instruction to any Person other than a Noteholder shall be satisfied by the Administrator making such demand, delivery, notice, communication or instruction available at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/, or such other website or distribution service or provider as the Administrator shall designate by written notice to the other parties.

If World Omni is no longer the Administrator, the successor Administrator shall provide any required Rating Agency notices under this Agreement to the Depositor, who promptly shall provide such notices to the Rating Agencies.
Section 11. Amendments.
(a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by a written amendment duly executed and delivered by the parties hereto, with the prior written consent of the Owner Trustee, but without the consent of the Noteholders, 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 the Noteholders; provided that such amendment will not, as so evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Administrator delivered to the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended by the parties hereto with the prior written consent of the Owner Trustee and the holders of Notes evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Securities 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 Noteholders; provided, further, that no such amendment may (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the Contracts or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the holders of Notes which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the holders of all outstanding Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not amend this Agreement without the permission of the Depositor, which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 12. Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement may not be assigned by the Administrator unless such assignment is previously consented to in writing by the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition in respect thereof. An assignment with such consent and satisfaction, if accepted by the assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the Administrator without the consent of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee to a corporation or other organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the Administrator; provided that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied and such successor organization executes and delivers to the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, in which such corporation or other organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto.
