Optional Preservation of Trust Estate. If the Notes of any Series have been declared to be due and payable under Section 7.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, and the Indenture Trustee has not received direction from the Noteholders pursuant to Sections 7.07 and 7.15, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of all or any portion of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on such affected Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of all or any portion of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.
