Board of Trustees’ Responsibilities 5.2.1 The Board of Trustees will be responsible for the operational and financial sustainability of the Trust, including: a) Validation of the sustainability of the respective Plan Design;
Payment of Trust Expenses and Compensation of Trustees The Trustees are authorized to pay or to cause to be paid out of the principal or income of the Trust, or partly out of principal and partly out of income, and to charge or allocate the same to, between or among such one or more of the Series and Classes that may be established and designated pursuant to Article IV, as the Trustees deem fair, all expenses, fees, charges, taxes and liabilities incurred or arising in connection with the Trust, or in connection with the management thereof, including, but not limited to, the Trustees' compensation and such expenses and charges for the services of the Trust's officers, employees, investment adviser, administrator, distributor, principal underwriter, auditor, counsel, depository, custodian, transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, accounting agent, Shareholder servicing agent, and such other agents, consultants, and independent contractors and such other expenses and charges as the Trustees may deem necessary or proper to incur. Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, the Trustees shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Trust for their services as Trustees and may fix the amount of such compensation.
Resignation and Removal of Trustees Each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Master Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Master Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and shall 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 or the Delaware Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of such trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of such trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Master Servicer may remove such trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the trustee so removed, the trustee continuing in its capacity and the successor trustee. The Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating more than 50% of REMIC II may at any time remove the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08. Any expenses associated with the resignation of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be borne by such trustee, and any expenses associated with the removal of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be borne by the Master Servicer.
Vacancies; Appointment of Trustees Whenever a vacancy shall exist in the Board of Trustees, regardless of the reason for such vacancy, the remaining Trustees shall appoint any person as they determine in their sole discretion to fill that vacancy, consistent with the limitations under the 1940 Act. Such appointment shall be made by a written instrument signed by a majority of the Trustees or by a resolution of the Trustees, duly adopted and recorded in the records of the Trust, specifying the effective date of the appointment. The Trustees may appoint a new Trustee as provided above in anticipation of a vacancy expected to occur because of the retirement, resignation or removal of a Trustee, or an increase in number of Trustees, provided that such appointment shall become effective only at or after the expected vacancy occurs. As soon as any such Trustee has accepted his appointment in writing, the trust estate shall vest in the new Trustee, together with the continuing Trustees, without any further act or conveyance, and he shall be deemed a Trustee hereunder. The Trustees' power of appointment is subject to Section 16(a) of the 1940 Act. Whenever a vacancy in the number of Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled as provided in this Article II, the Trustees in office, regardless of their number, shall have all the powers granted to the Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Trustees by the Declaration. The death, declination to serve, resignation, retirement, removal or incapacity of one or more Trustees, or all of them, shall not operate to annul the Trust or to revoke any existing agency created pursuant to the terms of this Declaration of Trust.
Withdrawal or Removal and Replacement of Administrator The Administrator may withdraw for any reason upon notice to the Initial Member, provided that such withdrawal shall be effective only following a Sale of the Artwork and distribution of the proceeds. The Administrator may be removed and replaced at any time for any reason with or without approval of the Board upon the affirmative vote of Voting Members holdings at least two-thirds of the Voting Shares. In the event of any such withdrawal or removal and replacement of the Administrator, any unvested ASA Shares shall be forfeited as of the effective date of such withdrawal or removal and such ASA Shares shall no longer be deemed to be issued and outstanding for any purposes of this Agreement.
Term of Agreement; Resignation and Removal of Administrator This Agreement shall continue in force until the dissolution of the Issuing Entity, upon which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate. (a) Subject to Sections 8(d) and 8(e), the Administrator may resign its duties hereunder by providing the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee with at least 60 days’ prior written notice.

(d) No resignation or removal of the Administrator pursuant to this Section shall be effective until (i) a successor Administrator acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall have been appointed by the Issuing Entity with the consent of the Owner Trustee and (ii) such successor Administrator shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. (e) The appointment of any successor Administrator shall be effective only after satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to the proposed appointment.
Compensation of Trustees The Trustees as such shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Trust, and they may fix the amount of such compensation from time to time. Nothing herein shall in any way prevent the employment of any Trustee to provide advisory, management, legal, accounting, investment banking or other services to the Trust and to be specially compensated for such services by the Trust.
Power of Board of Trustees to Make Tax Status Election The Board of Trustees shall have the power, in its discretion, to make such elections as to the tax status of the Trust and any Series as may be permitted or required under the Code, without the vote of any Shareholder.
