Subject to applicable escheat laws, any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Owner Trustee to the Certificateholders in proportion to each Certificateholder’s Certificate Percentage Interest. (d) Upon the winding up of the Trust, in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute, and its termination, the Owner Trustee shall, at the written direction and expense of the Depositor, cause the Certificate of Trust to be canceled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute.
