(d) The Loan Obligation Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may direct the Trustee to, and upon such direction the Trustee shall, invest all funds in the Expense Account in Eligible Investments designated by the Loan Obligation Manager. All interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Expense Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Expense Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Expense Account. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable (except as a result of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) by reason of any insufficiency of such Expense Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment, except with respect to investments in obligations of the Trustee or any Affiliate thereof.
