You may also terminate your services as a Director for any or no reason by delivering your written notice of resignation to the Company (“Resignation”), and such Resignation shall be effective upon the time specified therein or, if no time is specified, upon receipt of the notice of resignation by the Company. Upon the effective date of the termination or Resignation, your right to compensation hereunder will terminate subject to the Company's obligations to pay you any compensation that you have already earned and to reimburse you for approved expenses already incurred in connection with your performance of your Duties as of the effective date of such termination or Resignation.
Removal and Resignation Any officer of the Company may be removed as such, with or without cause, by the Managers at any time.

RESIGNATION/TERMINATION The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder (except liabilities arising prior to resignation as a result of the Warrant Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (which bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction)) after giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Company. In the event the transfer agency relationship in effect between the Company and Warrant Agent terminates, the Warrant Agent shall be deemed to have resigned automatically and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement as of the effective date of such termination. The Company may remove the Warrant Agent upon thirty (30) calendar days’ written notice, and the Warrant Agent shall thereupon in like manner be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder, except as have been caused by the Warrant Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (which bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) prior to its removal. The Company shall cause to be mailed promptly (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to each registered Holder at such Holder’s last address as shown on the register of the Company, at the Company’s expense, a copy of such notice of resignation or notice of removal, as the case may be. Upon such resignation or removal the Company shall promptly appoint in writing a new warrant agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) calendar days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation by the resigning Warrant Agent or after such removal, then the Holder of any Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new warrant agent. A resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent and appointment of a successor Warrant Agent will become effective only upon the successor Warrant Agent’s acceptance of appointment. Pending appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by such a court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company. Any successor warrant agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a Person, incorporated under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and authorized under such laws to conduct a shareholder services business, be subject to supervision and examination by a Federal or state authority, and have a combined capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition; or in the case of such capital and surplus requirement, a controlled affiliate of such a Person meeting such capital and surplus requirement. After acceptance in writing of such appointment by the new Warrant Agent, such successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities under this Agreement as if it had been originally named herein as the Warrant Agent, without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed; but if for any reason it shall be necessary or expedient to execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed, the same shall be done at the expense of the Company and shall be legally and validly executed and delivered by the resigning or removed Warrant Agent. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall send notice thereof to the resigning or removed Warrant Agent and shall forthwith cause a copy of such notice to be mailed (by first class, postage prepaid) to each registered Holder at such Holder’s last address as shown on the register of the Company. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 12(j), or any defect in any such notice, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.

Any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the operation of Article IX of this Agreement.
10.3 Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, each Participating Fund and Dreyfus may, at the option of the Participating Fund, continue to make available additional shares of that Participating Fund for as long as the Participating Fund desires pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as provided below, for all Contracts in effect on the effective date of termination of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Existing Contracts"). Specifically, without limitation, if that Participating Fund and Dreyfus so elect to make additional Participating Fund shares available, the owners of the Existing Contracts or Insurance Company, whichever shall have legal authority to do so, shall be permitted to reallocate investments in that Participating Fund, redeem investments in that Participating Fund and/or invest in that Participating Fund upon the making of additional purchase payments under the Existing Contracts. In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, such Participating Fund and Dreyfus, as promptly as is practicable under the circumstances, shall notify Insurance Company whether Dreyfus and that Participating Fund will continue to make that Participating Fund's shares available after such termination. If such Participating Fund shares continue to be made available after such termination, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and thereafter either of that Participating Fund or Insurance Company may terminate the Agreement as to that Participating Fund, as so continued pursuant to this Section 10.3, upon prior written notice to the other party, such notice to be for a period that is reasonable under the circumstances but, if given by the Participating Fund, need not be for more than six months.
10.4 Termination of this Agreement as to any one Participating Fund shall not be deemed a termination as to any other Participating Fund unless Insurance Company or such other Participating Fund, as the case may be, terminates this Agreement as to such other Participating Fund in accordance with this Article X.
Termination and Resignation of Agent (a) The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Senior Noteholder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 30, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.
(b) The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. JPM, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of JPM without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement.

Upon any such termination or resignation, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Amounts or the Fund to any successor escrow agent jointly designated by the other parties hereto in writing, or to any court of competent jurisdiction if no such successor escrow agent is agreed upon, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Escrow Agreement.

If at that time the Escrow Agent has not received a designation of successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after that time shall be to keep the Escrowed Amounts or the Fund safe until receipt of a designation of a successor escrow agent or a joint written disposition instruction by the other parties hereto or an enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the provisions of Section 8 hereof, the resigning Escrow Agent shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Issuer for any expenses incurred in connection with its resignation, transfer of the Fund to a successor escrow agent or distribution of the Fund pursuant to this Section 6.
