In particular, but without limitation, whenever in this Agreement it is provided that the Titling Trustee shall receive or may rely on the instructions or directions of a Beneficiary in connection with a Securitized Financing, any written instruction or direction purporting to bear the signature of any officer or authorized signatory of the Beneficiary, or the holder or pledgee of a UTI Certificate or a SUBI Certificate in connection with a Securitized Financing reasonably believed by it to be genuine may be deemed by the Titling Trustee to have been signed or presented by the proper party.

(d) The Titling Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by a Beneficiary; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Titling Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Titling Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Titling Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement or any SUBI Supplement, the Titling Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Person(s) requesting such examination or, if paid by the Titling Trustee, shall be reimbursed as a Titling Trust expense upon demand.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Titling Trustee shall replace any Trust Agent if (i) in the good faith judgment of the UTI Beneficiary, the compensation or level of service of such Trust Agent shall no longer be reasonably competitive with those of any alternative agent reasonably proposed by the UTI Beneficiary, or (ii) if the Trust Agent has materially breached its obligations under the Trust Agency Agreement, the UTI Beneficiary or a Beneficiary in connection with a Securitized Financing has given written notice to the Titling Trustee and the Trust Agent of such breach, and the Trust Agent has not cured such breach in all material respects within 30 Business Days thereafter. Such Trust Agency Agreement shall specify the duties, powers, liabilities, obligations and compensation of such Trust Agent(s) to carry out on behalf of the Titling Trustee any or all of its obligations as Titling Trustee of the Titling Trust arising under this Agreement or otherwise and shall contain a non-petition covenant substantially identical to that set forth in Section 6.14, provided, however, that nothing contained in any Trust Agency Agreement shall excuse, limit or otherwise affect any power, duty, obligation, liability or compensation otherwise applicable to the Titling Trustee hereunder. The Titling Trustee hereby engages First Bank National Association as its initial Trust Agent, and First Bank National Association by its signature hereto accepts such engagement, with all provisions of this Section 6.03(e) relating to Trust Agents constituting a Trust Agency Agreement between First Bank National Association and the Titling Trustee, subject to any amendment or supplement thereto between such parties not inconsistent herewith.
