Situs of Trust The Trust will be located and administered in the State of Delaware. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be located in the State of Delaware or the State of New York. Payments will be received by the Trust only in Delaware or New York and payments will be made by the Trust only from Delaware or New York. The Trust shall not have any employees in any state other than Delaware; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or any agent of the Trust from having employees within or outside the State of Delaware. The only office of the Trust will be at the Corporate Trust Office located in Delaware.
Individual Rights of Trustee The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.
Audit of trust accounts Unless the Depositor determines that such an audit is not required, the accounts of the Trust shall be audited not less than annually by independent public accountants designated from time to time by the Depositor and the Trustee and the reports of such accountants shall be furnished upon request to Unit holders. So long as the Depositor is making a secondary market for Units, the Depositor shall bear the cost of such annual audits to the extent such cost exceeds $.50 per 100 Units.
Establishment of Trust Accounts (i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders.

(iii) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Spread Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and Certificateholders.

(b) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account, and the Spread Account (collectively, the “Trust Accounts”) shall be invested or reinvested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by and as directed in writing by the Servicer (which written direction may be in the form of standing instructions) or if the Servicer fails to provide written direction, shall be invested or reinvested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments specified in paragraph (d) of the definition of “Eligible Investments” (without giving effect to the proviso therein) as set forth in Appendix A to the Indenture; provided, however, it is understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the selection of, or any loss arising from such investment in, Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall be held or controlled by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, as applicable (and for the purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC, each Eligible Investment is intended to constitute a Financial Asset, and each of the Trust Accounts is intended to constitute a Securities Account); provided, that on each Transfer Date, all Investment Earnings on funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be deposited into the Collection Account and shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Total Distribution Amount. Funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested in Eligible Investments (or other investments permitted by the Rating Agencies) that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Transfer Date preceding the following Payment Date; provided, however, that funds on deposit in Trust Accounts may be invested in Eligible Investments of the entity serving as Indenture Trustee payable on demand or that mature so that such funds will be available on the Payment Date. Funds deposited in a Trust Account on the Transfer Date that precedes a Payment Date upon the maturity or liquidation of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested overnight.
(i) The Indenture Trustee shall possess or control all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon) and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Trust Estate. The Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, as the case may be. If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments held in the no-longer Eligible Deposit Account to such new Trust Account.
(ii) With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that:
(A) any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in Eligible Deposit Accounts, subject to the last sentence of Section 5.1(c)(i); and each such Eligible Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;
(B) any Trust Account Property that constitutes a Certificated Security shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (i) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture Trustee or its agent;
(C) any such Trust Account Property that constitutes an Uncertificated Security (including any investments in money market mutual funds, but excluding any Federal Book Entry Security) shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee’s (or its custodian or nominee’s) ownership of such security; and
(D) with respect to any Trust Account Property that constitutes a Federal Book Entry Security, the Indenture Trustee shall maintain and obtain Control over such property.
(iii) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Trustee, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Trust Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or the Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.
(d) All Trust Accounts will initially be established at the Indenture Trustee.
