Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08. Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
Appointment of Administrator Each Trust hereby appoints EIS as Administrator of the Trust and each of its series listed on SCHEDULE A attached hereto on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and EIS hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the services and duties set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement in consideration of the compensation provided for in Section 4 hereof.
Replacement of Trustee A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of Notes of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:
Declaration of Trust The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Owner Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Trust under the Transaction Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that (i) the Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that this Trust Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust and (ii) solely for income and franchise tax purposes, the Trust shall be treated (A) if it has one beneficial owner, as a non-entity and (B) if it has more than one beneficial owner, as a partnership, with the assets of the partnership being the Receivables and other assets held by the Trust, the partners of the partnership being the Certificateholders and the Notes constituting indebtedness of the partnership. Unless otherwise required by the appropriate tax authorities, the Trust shall file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Trust either as a nonentity or as a partnership for such tax purposes. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and in the Statutory Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust. The parties have caused the filing of the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State. If it is determined that, contrary to the intent of the parties hereto and the position of the Certificateholder, the Trust has “gross receipts” for purposes of the Margin Tax, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust be treated as a “passive entity” for purposes of the Margin Tax, formed to hold assets to facilitate securitization transactions in a manner similar to grantor trusts and real estate mortgage investment conduits as defined by Section 860D of the Code. The Depositor, and the Certificateholders by acceptance of a Certificate, agree that if it is determined that, contrary to the intent of the parties hereto and the position of the Certificateholder, the Trust has “gross receipts” for purposes of the Margin Tax, they will, unless otherwise required by law, treat the Trust as a “passive entity” for purposes of the Margin Tax and will not, unless otherwise required by law, take any action to include the Trust as part of an affiliated group engaged in a unitary business (as such terms are used in the Margin Tax). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Trust Agreement should be read to imply that the Trust is doing business in Texas or has sufficient nexus with Texas in order for the Margin Tax to apply to the Trust.
Appointment of Successor Trustee In the event of the death (in the case of a Trustee that is a natural person), dissolution (in the case of a Trustee that is not a natural person), resignation pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof, incompetency, or removal pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof, a successor Trustee may be appointed either by (a) unanimous vote of the Trust Advisory Board, subject to the approval of the United States in consultation with the Beneficiaries, or (b) order of the Bankruptcy Court. Such vote or order shall specify the date on which such appointment shall be effective. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Bankruptcy Court and to a removed or resigning Trustee (or the representative of a deceased or dissolved Trustee) an instrument accepting the appointment under this Litigation Trust Agreement and agreeing to be bound hereto, and thereupon the successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, trusts, and duties of such removed, resigning, deceased, or dissolved Trustee pursuant to this Litigation Trust Agreement and the Plan; provided, however, that a removed or resigning Trustee (or the representative of a deceased or dissolved Trustee) shall, nevertheless, when requested in writing by the successor Trustee, execute and deliver an instrument or instruments conveying and transferring to such successor Trustee under the Litigation Trust, or confirming the conveyance and transfer thereto of, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and privileges of such predecessor Trustee.

Exhibit 19 hereto provides the initial Authorized Representative designations. Such designations may be changed by a subsequent writing delivered to the other Party in accordance with Section 9.1.
