The Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively, shall examine them in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s, as applicable, satisfaction, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer hereunder or any Opinion of Counsel required hereunder. The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file or cause to be filed on behalf of the Trust Fund any tax return that is required with respect to any Trust REMIC pursuant to applicable federal, state or local tax laws. The Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall perform its obligations hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the status of any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and to prevent the imposition of any federal, state or local income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other tax on any of any Trust REMIC to the extent that maintaining such status and avoiding such taxes are within the control of the Securities Administrator and are reasonably within the scope of its duties under this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) The duties and obligations of the Trustee prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred and of the Securities Administrator, at all times, shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or of the Securities Administrator, as applicable, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, under this Agreement.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(a) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(b) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult with counsel and any written advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith;
(c) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement, other than its obligation to give notice pursuant to this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or Securities Administrator security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee’s corporate trust department has actual knowledge (which has not been waived or cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
(d) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(e) Neither the Trustee prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, nor the Securities Administrator, at any time, shall 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 the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation;
(f) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, nominees, custodians or attorneys appointed with due care, and shall not be responsible for any willful misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee so appointed;
(g) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder; and
(h) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Agreement the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed and delivered to the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, and such certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall be full warrant to the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement upon the faith thereof. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity. Any permissive right of the Trustee of the Securities Administrator enumerated hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.
