Duties of Securities Administrator The Securities Administrator shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. The Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Securities Administrator that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall notify the Certificateholders of such non conforming instrument in the event the Securities Administrator, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
Merger or Consolidation of Securities Administrator Any corporation or other entity into which the Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to the business of the Securities Administrator, shall be the successor of the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided that such corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Resignation and Removal of Securities Administrator The Securities Administrator may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the Trustee and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 10.08, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor Securities Administrator in accordance with Section 10.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 10.06. If no successor Securities Administrator meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed by the Depositor and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Securities Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Securities Administrator. If at any time the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Securities Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different Securities Administrator, then the Depositor may remove the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor Securities Administrator by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator so removed, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to the successor Securities Administrator. The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor Securities Administrator 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 by the successor Securities Administrator to the Trustee, one complete set to the Securities Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Securities Administrator shall be given to each Rating Agency by the successor Securities Administrator. Any resignation or removal of the Securities Administrator and appointment of a successor Securities Administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 10.07 shall become effective upon acceptance by the successor Securities Administrator of appointment as provided in Section 10.08 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Securities Administrator resigns pursuant to Section 10.07, the Trustee shall be authorized to appoint, with the Depositor's consent, a successor Securities Administrator concurrently with the appointment of a successor Master Servicer.
Other Activities of Administrator Nothing herein shall prevent the Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its or their sole discretion, from acting as an administrator for any other person or entity, or in a similar capacity therefor, even though such person or entity may engage in business activities similar to those of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.
Monitoring of Securities Depositories The Custodian will monitor the custody risks associated with maintaining assets with each Securities Depository for which it has provided the Fund on behalf of the Series with a Risk Analysis as required under Rule 17f-7. The Custodian will promptly notify the Fund on behalf of the Series or its investment adviser of any material change in these risks.
Use of Securities Depositories The Custodian may deposit and maintain Investments in any Securities Depository, either directly or through one or more Subcustodians appointed by the Custodian. Investments held in a Securities Depository shall be held (a) subject to the agreement, rules, statement of terms and conditions or other document or conditions effective between the Securities Depository and the Custodian or the Subcustodian, as the case may be, and (b) in an account for the Fund or in bulk segregation in an account maintained for the non-proprietary assets of the entity holding such Investments in the Depository. If market practice or the rules and regulations of the Securities Depository prevent the Custodian, the Subcustodian or (any agent of either) from holding its client assets in such a separate account, the Custodian, the Subcustodian or other agent shall as appropriate segregate such Investments for benefit of the Fund or for benefit of clients of the Custodian generally on its own books.
Indemnification of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator (a) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement, including the powers of attorney delivered pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.05 hereof, the Assignment Agreements, the Custodial Agreement or the Certificates (i) related to the Master Servicer's failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), the Trustee shall have given the Master Servicer and the Seller written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee shall have with respect to such claim or legal action knowledge thereof; provided, however that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its indemnification obligations hereunder. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator and the termination of this Agreement.
Successor Securities Administrator Any successor Securities Administrator appointed as provided in Section 8.17 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and to its predecessor Securities Administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Securities Administrator shall become effective, and such successor Securities Administrator without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Securities Administrator. The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee and the predecessor Securities Administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Securities Administrator, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. No successor Securities Administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.18 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Securities Administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.16 hereof and the appointment of such successor Securities Administrator shall not result in a downgrading of the Classes of Certificates rated by the Rating Agencies, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Securities Administrator as provided in this Section 8.18, the successor Securities Administrator shall mail notice of such appointment hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies.
Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Securities Administrator Any corporation or association into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.6, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
