Co-Trustees The Trustee may, despite Clause 16.1, by notice in writing to the Issuer appoint anyone to act as a separate trustee or as an additional trustee jointly with the Trustee:
Successor Trustees Trustee may resign by the giving of notice of such resignation in writing or verbally to Beneficiary. If Trustee shall die, resign or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or if, for any reason, Beneficiary shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee or multiple substitute trustees, or successive substitute trustees or successive multiple substitute trustees, to act instead of the aforenamed Trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint a substitute trustee (or, if preferred, multiple substitute trustees) in succession who shall succeed (and if multiple substitute trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute trustees shall succeed) to all the estates, rights, powers and duties of the aforenamed Trustee. Such appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary, and if such Beneficiary be a corporation and such appointment be executed in its behalf by any officer of such corporation, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the aforenamed Trustee, or Trustee’s successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. If multiple substitute trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute trustees shall be empowered and authorized to act alone without the necessity of the joinder of the other multiple substitute trustees, whenever any action or undertaking of such substitute trustees is requested or required under or pursuant to this Deed of Trust or applicable law.
Trustees The number of Trustees shall be such number as shall be fixed from time to time by a majority of the Trustees; provided, however, that the number of Trustees shall in no event be less than two (2) nor more than (15). The natural persons who have executed this Agreement shall be the Trustees as of the date hereof.
Initial Trustees Upon execution of this Declaration of Trust or a counterpart hereof or some other writing in which the undersigned accepts such Trusteeship(s) and agrees to the provisions hereof, the undersigned(s) whose signature(s) is (are) affixed hereto as Initial Trustee(s) shall become the Initial Trustee(s) hereof.
Owner Trustee Not Liable for Trust Certificates The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Certificates (other than the signature and any authentication of the Owner Trustee on the Trust Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any other Program Document or of the Trust Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Trust Certificates) or the Notes. The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity or enforceability of any Program Document to which the Owner Trustee is to be a party (except for enforceability against the Owner Trustee), or the perfection and priority of any security interest created by or under any Program Document, or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Owner Trust Estate or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Trust Certificateholders under this Agreement or the Noteholders under the Indenture, the validity of the transfer of the 2017-3 Exchange Note, or for the compliance by the Depositor, the Administrator or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under any Program Document or for the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or for any action of the Administrator, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee taken in the name of the Owner Trustee.
Appointment of Administrative Trustees (a) There shall at all times be one or more Administrative Trustees hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. Each Administrative Trustee shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal entity that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind that entity. Each of the individuals identified as an “Administrative Trustee” in the preamble of this Trust Agreement hereby accepts his or her appointment as such.
Vacancies among Trustees If a Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to Section 6.1, or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 6.1, a vacancy shall occur. A resolution certifying the existence of such vacancy by the Administrative Trustees or, if there are more than two, a majority of the Administrative Trustees shall be conclusive evidence of the existence of such vacancy. The vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 6.6.
