     WHEREAS, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement contemplates that the Depositor may enter into the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements with the Issuing Entity, pursuant to which the Depositor shall sell, transfer and assign, as of the Closing Date, with respect to the Receivables, to the Issuing Entity without recourse all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and under the aforementioned custodian agreement;

     WHEREAS, in connection with any such sale, transfer and assignment, the Depositor desires for the Custodian to act as custodian of the Receivables for the benefit of the Issuing Entity; and

     WHEREAS, after the execution of the Indenture, the Custodian will act on behalf of the Indenture Trustee in connection with its duties as custodian of the Receivables.
