(b) Good Title.

(i) Immediately prior to the conveyance of each Receivable and the related Third Step Transferred Property to the Grantor Trust pursuant to this Agreement and the Third Step Receivables Assignment, the Issuing Entity had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens.

(A) a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.1(b) or Section 3.1(c) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Section 3.1(b) of the Receivables Transfer Agreement or Section 3.1(a) hereof which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders taken as a whole, unless the breach shall have been cured within thirty (30) days following (i) discovery of the breach by the Issuing Entity or receipt of notice of such breach by the Issuing Entity from the Grantor Trust (which notice shall provide sufficient detail so as to allow the Issuing Entity to reasonably investigate the breach), or (ii) in the case of the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, a Responsible Officer of such trustee has actual knowledge or receives written notice of a breach of such representation or warranty, then

(d) It will not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders or Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or (c) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
