Appointment of the Certificate Paying Agent To the extent Definitive Certificates have been issued, the Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.2 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee and the Servicer; provided, however, that no such reports shall be required so long as the Seller or an affiliate of the Seller is the sole Certificateholder. Any Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Issuer may revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Certificate Paying Agent shall initially be Wilmington Trust, National Association, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Certificate Paying Agent. Wilmington Trust, National Association shall be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Owner Trustee. If Wilmington Trust, National Association shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent, the Issuer shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Issuer shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer to execute and deliver an instrument in which such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer that as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. If a successor Certificate Paying Agent does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Certificate Paying Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Certificate Paying Agent, the Administrator and the Seller, acting jointly, or the Majority Certificateholders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Certificate Paying Agent (with all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Certificate Paying Agent, in connection with such petition to be paid by the Issuer). The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The rights, protections, indemnities and immunities of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall apply to Wilmington Trust, National Association in its roles as Certificate Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and Relevant Trustee for so long as it shall act as Certificate Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and/or Relevant Trustee and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent, certificate registrar or authenticating agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.
Liability of the Holders of the Certificates The Holders of the Certificates shall be jointly and severally liable directly to and shall indemnify any injured party for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the Trust and the Owner Trustee (including Expenses, to the extent not paid out of the Owner Trust Estate); provided, however, that the Holders of the Certificates shall not be liable for payments required to be made on the Bonds or the Certificates, or for any losses incurred by a Certificateholder in the capacity of an investor in the Certificates or a Bondholder in the capacity of an investor in the Bonds. The Holders of the Certificates shall be liable for and shall promptly pay any entity level taxes imposed on the Trust. In addition, any third party creditors of the Trust (other than in connection with the obligations described in the second preceding sentence for which the Holders of the Certificates shall not be liable) shall be deemed third party beneficiaries of this paragraph. The obligations of the Holders of the Certificates under this paragraph shall be evidenced by the Certificates.
