Appointment of Successor Trustee In the event of the death (in the case of a Trustee that is a natural person), dissolution (in the case of a Trustee that is not a natural person), resignation pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof, incompetency, or removal pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof, a successor Trustee may be appointed either by (a) unanimous vote of the Trust Advisory Board, subject to the approval of the United States in consultation with the Beneficiaries, or (b) order of the Bankruptcy Court. Such vote or order shall specify the date on which such appointment shall be effective. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Bankruptcy Court and to a removed or resigning Trustee (or the representative of a deceased or dissolved Trustee) an instrument accepting the appointment under this Litigation Trust Agreement and agreeing to be bound hereto, and thereupon the successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, trusts, and duties of such removed, resigning, deceased, or dissolved Trustee pursuant to this Litigation Trust Agreement and the Plan; provided, however, that a removed or resigning Trustee (or the representative of a deceased or dissolved Trustee) shall, nevertheless, when requested in writing by the successor Trustee, execute and deliver an instrument or instruments conveying and transferring to such successor Trustee under the Litigation Trust, or confirming the conveyance and transfer thereto of, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and privileges of such predecessor Trustee.
Appointment of Successor (a) Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or the Servicer’s resignation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (i) the date sixty (60) days from the delivery to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer’s termination hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer, which shall be any established institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of receivables similar to the Receivables, and the Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment (including its appointment as Administrator under the Administration Agreement as set forth in Section 8.02(b)) by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Total Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be unwilling or legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of receivables similar to the Receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. In connection therewith, the Indenture Trustee is authorized and empowered to offer such successor servicer compensation up to, but not in excess of, the Total Servicing Fee and other servicing compensation specified in this Agreement as payable to the initial Servicer. Upon such appointment, the Indenture Trustee will be released from the duties and obligations of acting as Successor Servicer, such release effective upon the effective date of the servicing agreement entered into between the Successor Servicer and the Issuer.

If no successor trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.07 and shall fail to resign after written request for its resignation by the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or an order for relief shall have been entered in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding with respect to such entity, or a receiver of such entity or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of the property or affairs of the Trustee for the purpose of rehabilitation, conversion or liquidation, or the Master Servicer shall deem it necessary in order to change the situs of the Trust Estate for state tax reasons, then the Master Servicer shall remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee.
