LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF THE TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS A copy of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Trust is on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and notice is hereby given that this instrument is executed on behalf of the Trustees of the Trust as Trustees and not individually and that the obligations of this instrument are not binding upon any of the Trustees or shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Fund.
Resignation and Removal of Trustees Each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. If at any time the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of such trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of such trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Servicer may remove such trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the trustee so removed, the trustee continuing in its capacity and the successor trustee. The Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating more than 50% may at any time remove the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08. Any expenses associated with the resignation of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be borne by such trustee, and any expenses associated with the removal of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be borne by the Servicer.
Limitation on Resignation of a Servicer Subject to Sections 7.01 and 10.07, no Servicer shall assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicers, the Depositor and the Trustee or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by such Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of a Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed such Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.04 herein to the contrary, in the event that a Servicer determines that it will no longer engage in the business of servicing mortgage loans, such Servicer may assign its rights under this Agreement, provided that, (i) the Depositor in its sole discretion has consented, (ii) the Rating Agencies' ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such action will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies) and (iii) such Servicer shall be liable for all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of servicing, provided further, that the Servicer shall indemnify and hold each of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the other Servicers hereunder, any sub-servicer, the successor Servicer and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that such party may sustain in any way related to such assignment except with respect to a successor Servicer's failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement. No assignment by such Servicer shall become effective until a successor Servicer acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee shall have assumed in writing such Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement. Any such assignment shall not relieve the applicable Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified herein except to the extent that such responsibilities have been expressly assumed by the successor Servicer.
Effect of Death, Resignation, etc. of a Trustee The death, resignation, retirement, removal, incapacity, or inability of the Trustees, or any one of them, shall not operate to terminate the Trust or any Series or to revoke any existing trust or agency created pursuant to the terms of this Trust Instrument.
Removal of Trustees No natural person shall serve as Trustee after the holders of record of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding Shares have declared that such Trustee be removed from that office either by declaration in writing filed with the Trust's custodian or by votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for the purpose. The Trustees shall promptly call a meeting of Shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of any Trustee when requested in writing so to do by the record holders of not less than 10 per centum of the outstanding Shares. Whenever ten or more Shareholders of record who have been such for at least six months preceding the date of application, and who hold in the aggregate Shares having a net asset value of at least 1 per centum of the outstanding Shares, shall apply to the Trustees in writing, stating that they wish to communicate with other Shareholders with a view to obtaining signatures to a request for a meeting pursuant to this Section and accompanied by a form of communication and request which they wish to transmit, the Trustees shall within five business days after receipt of such application either (a) afford to such applicants access to a list of the names and addresses of all Shareholders as recorded on the books of the Trust; or (b) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Shareholders of record, and the approximate cost of transmitting to them the proposed communication and form of request. If the Trustees elect to follow the course specified in clause (b), the Trustees, upon the written request of such applicants, accompanied by a tender of the material to be transmitted and of the reasonable expenses of transmittal, shall, with reasonable promptness, transmit such material to all Shareholders of record at their addresses as recorded on the books of the Trust (or at the telephone or facsimile number or e-mail or other electronic address most recently furnished to the Trust (or its agent) by the Shareholder), unless within five business days after such tender the Trustees shall transmit to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material proposed to be transmitted, a written statement signed by at least a majority of the Trustees to the effect that in their opinion either such material contains untrue statements of fact or omits to state facts necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, or would be in violation of applicable law, and specifying the basis of such opinion. If the Commission shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of the objections specified in the written statement so filed, or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all objections so sustained have been met, and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustees shall transmit copies of such material to all Shareholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender.
