Establishment and Designation of Shares The Series and classes of Shares existing as of the date of this Declaration of Trust are those Series and classes that have been established under the Prior Declaration of Trust and not heretofore terminated which are indicated on Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof ("Schedule A"). The establishment of any additional Series (or class) of Shares shall be effective upon the adoption by the Trustees of a resolution that sets forth the designation of, or otherwise identifies, such Series (or class), whether directly in such resolution or by reference to, or approval of, another document that sets forth the designation of, or otherwise identifies, such Series (or class) including any registration statement of the Trust or such Series (or class), any amendment and/or restatement of this Declaration of Trust and/or Schedule A or as otherwise provided in such resolution. Upon the establishment of any additional Series (or class) of Shares or the termination of any existing Series (or class) of Shares, Schedule A shall be amended to reflect the addition or termination of such Series (or class) and any officer of the Trust is hereby authorized to make such amendment; provided that amendment of Schedule A shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment or termination of any Series (or class) in accordance with this Declaration of Trust. The relative rights and preferences of the Shares of the Trust and each Series and each class thereof shall be as set forth herein and as set forth in any registration statement relating thereto, unless otherwise provided in the resolution establishing such Series or class. Shares of each Series (or class) established pursuant to this Section 6, unless otherwise provided in the resolution establishing such Series (or class) or in any registration statement relating thereto, shall have the following relative rights and preferences:
Designation of Beneficiary The depositor may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive benefits from the custodial account in the event of the depositor’s death. In the event the depositor has not designated a beneficiary, or if all beneficiaries shall predecease the depositor, the following persons shall take in the order named:
a. The spouse of the depositor;
b. If the spouse shall predecease the depositor or if the depositor does not have a spouse, then to the depositor’s estate.
Designation of Beneficiaries The Executive may designate any person to receive any benefits payable under the Agreement upon the Executive’s death, and the designation may be changed from time to time by the Executive by filing a new designation. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Executive, shall be in the form prescribed by the Administrator and shall be effective only when filed in writing with the Administrator during the Executive’s lifetime. If the Executive names someone other than the Executive’s spouse as a Beneficiary, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine that spousal consent is required to be provided in a form designated by the Administrator, executed by the Executive’s spouse and returned to the Administrator. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved.
Termination of Stopped Work If a stop work order is not canceled and the work covered by such order is terminated for default or convenience, the reasonable costs resulting from the stop work order shall be allowed by adjustment or otherwise.
Designation of Agent Each Participating Employer shall be deemed to be a party to this Plan; provided, however, that with respect to all of its relations with the Trustee and Administrator for the purpose of this Plan, each Participating Employer shall be deemed to have designated irrevocably the Employer as its agent. Unless the context of the Plan clearly indicates the contrary, the word "Employer" shall be deemed to include each Participating Employer as related to its adoption of the Plan.
Designation of Servicer (a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pledged Contracts shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 6.01. Until the Program Agent, with the consent or at the direction of the Managing Agents, gives notice to the Borrower and the Servicer of the designation of a new Servicer as provided in Section 6.01(c) below, DTCC is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Borrower hereby grants to Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of the Borrower any and all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind in connection with any Pledged Contract or other Collateral.
(b) The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon the reasonable determination by the Servicer that (x) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law and (y) there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law. Any determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Program Agent.
(c) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing the Program Agent shall, if requested by the Majority Managing Agents, by notice in writing to the Servicer (a copy of which shall also be delivered to the Backup Servicer), terminate the Servicer’s management, administrative, servicing, custodial and collection functions (such termination being herein called a “Servicing Transfer”). On receipt of such notice (a “Termination Notice”) (or, if later, on a date designated therein), all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Pledged Contracts, the other Collateral or otherwise shall pass to and be vested in the Program Agent or its designee pursuant to and under this Section 6.01(c); and, without limitation, the Program Agent is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purpose of such Termination Notice. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Program Agent in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Program Agent or its designee on behalf of the Lenders for administration by it of all Collections which shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account, or for its own account in connection with its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect to the Pledged Contracts and to assist the successor Servicer in enforcing all rights under the Pledged Contracts. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Contract Files to the successor Servicer, to reflect such succession as the Servicer pursuant to this Section 6.01, shall be paid by the replaced Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses; provided, however, that if the replaced Servicer fails to pay such costs and expenses promptly, the successor Servicer shall be entitled to recover such amounts in accordance with Section 2.06 or 2.07, as applicable. Upon such termination, any servicing compensation relating to periods prior to the date of termination of the replaced Servicer (including all amounts expended by the replaced Servicer that would otherwise have been reimbursable to it hereunder) shall be paid to the replaced Servicer.
(d) In the event of the Servicer’s termination hereunder, the Program Agent, with the consent of the Majority Managing Agents, shall appoint the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Program Agent. In the event that a successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with Section 6.01(c), the Program Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer, and shall be entitled to all of the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer, by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the predecessor Servicer, (ii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party involved in this transaction and (iv) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior servicer including the original servicer. The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer, upon becoming a successor Servicer are expressly limited to those instances of negligence or willful misconduct of the Backup Servicer in its role as successor Servicer. In connection with such appointment, subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of “Servicer Fee,” the Program Agent may, with the consent of the Majority Managing Agents, make such arrangements for the reasonable compensation of such successor Servicer as it and such successor Servicer shall agree. The Program Agent and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
(e) After a Servicing Transfer, the successor Servicer may, at the direction of the Program Agent (at the direction of the Majority Managing Agents) notify the Contract Debtors with respect to the Pledged Contracts of the interests of the Secured Parties in the Pledged Contracts and other Collateral and instruct such Contract Debtors to make payments that are due under the Pledged Contracts to the successor Servicer (or to the Program Agent or such other Person or account as the Program Agent shall designate) after the effective date of a Servicing Transfer. After a Servicing Transfer, the replaced Servicer shall have no future obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Pledged Contracts and the successor Servicer shall have all of such obligations, except that the replaced Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the successor Servicer for its own account, promptly upon receipt (but no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), any amounts for which it has good funds (properly endorsed where required for the successor Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Pledged Contracts and the replaced Servicer shall continue to do any and all things necessary to transfer the Contract Files and all books and records with respect to the Pledged Contracts hereunder. A Servicing Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the parties hereunder, other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Pledged Contracts.
(f) DTCC and any other Servicer agrees that, upon its resignation or replacement as Servicer pursuant to Section 6.01(b) or (c) above, it will cooperate with the Borrower, the Program Agent and the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights as Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) assisting the successor Servicer in enforcing all rights under the Pledged Contracts and other Collateral, (ii) transferring, promptly upon receipt, to the successor Servicer, any Collections or other amounts related to the Pledged Contracts or other Collateral received by such Servicer, (iii) transferring to the successor Servicer all Records held by or under the control of such Servicer and (iv) permitting the successor Servicer to have access to all tapes, discs, diskettes and related property containing information concerning the Pledged Contracts and other Collateral and the Records and taking all actions necessary in its control to permit the successor Servicer to use all computer software that may facilitate the Servicer’s access to and use of such information and acting as data processing agent for such successor Servicer if requested. Upon the resignation or replacement of DTCC as Servicer, DTCC shall no longer be entitled to the Servicer Fee accruing from and after the effective date of such resignation or replacement.
(g) Without the consent of each Managing Agent, the Servicer shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (x) an Approved Sub-servicer and (y) except with respect to certain Charged-Off Contracts, to outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Notwithstanding the delegation by the Servicer of any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person or the appointment of any Approved Sub-servicer pursuant to this Section 6.01(g), (i) the Servicer shall remain liable for the timely and complete performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall retain management information systems and sufficient servicing capability, in the reasonable judgment of the Program Agent and each Managing Agent, to perform the servicing functions described herein, and (iii) any sub-servicing agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Pledged Contracts involving an Approved Sub-servicer shall be deemed to be between such sub-servicer and the Servicer alone, and none of the Lenders, the Program Agent, the Managing Agents and the Liquidity Providers shall be deemed parties thereto or shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Approved Sub-servicer.
Designation of REMIC(s) As provided in Section 10.03 of the Series Supplement.
Transfer or Deletion of Student Data The Provider shall review, on an annual basis, whether the Student Data it has received pursuant to the DPA continues to be needed for the purpose(s) of the Service Agreement and this DPA. If any of the Student Data is no longer needed for purposes of the Service Agreement and this DPA, the Provider will provide written notice to the LEA as to what Student Data is no longer needed. The Provider will delete or transfer Student Data in readable form to the LEA, as directed by the LEA (which may be effectuated through Exhibit D of the DPA), within 30 calendar days if the LEA requests deletion or transfer of the Student Data and shall provide written confirmation to the LEA of such deletion or transfer. Upon termination of the Service Agreement between the Provider and LEA, Provider shall conduct a final review of Student Data within 60 calendar days. If the LEA receives a request from a parent, as that term is defined in 105 ILCS 10/2(g), that Student Data being held by the Provider be deleted, the LEA shall determine whether the requested deletion would violate State and/or federal records laws. In the event such deletion would not violate State or federal records laws, the LEA shall forward the request for deletion to the Provider. The Provider shall comply with the request and delete the Student Data within a reasonable time period after receiving the request. Any provision of Student Data to the LEA from the Provider shall be transmitted in a format readable by the LEA.
Establishment and Designation of Series The establishment and designation of any Series or class of Shares shall be effective upon the resolution by a majority of the then Board of Trustees, adopting a resolution which sets forth such establishment and designation and the relative rights and preferences of such Series or class. Each such resolution shall be incorporated herein by reference upon adoption. Each Series shall be separate and distinct from any other Series and shall maintain separate and distinct records on the books of the Trust, and the assets and liabilities belonging to any such Series shall be held and accounted for separately from the assets and liabilities of the Trust or any other Series. Shares of each Series or class established pursuant to this Section 6, unless otherwise provided in the resolution establishing such Series, shall have the following relative rights and preferences:
(a) Assets Held with Respect to a Particular Series. All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof from whatever source derived, including, without limitation, any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall irrevocably be held with respect to that Series for all purposes, subject only to the rights of creditors with respect to that Series, and shall be so recorded upon the books of account of the Trust. Such consideration, assets, income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, from whatever source derived, including, without limitation, any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds, in whatever form the same may be, are herein referred to as "assets held with respect to" that Series. In the event that there are any assets, income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, funds or payments which are not readily identifiable as assets held with respect to any particular Series (collectively "General Assets"), the Board of Trustees shall allocate such General Assets to, between or among any one or more of the Series in such manner and on such basis as the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, deems fair and equitable, and any General Asset so allocated to a particular Series shall be held with respect to that Series. Each such allocation by the Board of Trustees shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Series for all purposes.
