The Depositary shall keep books at the Depositary’s Office for the registration and registration of transfer of Receipts, which books during normal business hours shall be open for inspection by the record holders of Receipts; provided that any such holder requesting to exercise such right shall certify to the Depositary that such inspection shall be for a proper purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as an owner of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts.

Such Registrar (which may be the Depositary if so permitted by the requirements of any such exchange) may be removed and a substitute registrar appointed by the Depositary upon the request or with the approval of the Company. If the Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such Stock are listed on one or more other stock exchanges, the Depositary will, at the request and at the expense of the Company, arrange such facilities for the delivery, registration, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of such Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such Stock as may be required by law or applicable securities exchange regulation.

The Depositary will notify the Company of any such action.
Resignation and Removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created (i) by giving written notice of resignation to the other such party, the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Trustee), the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders and the 17g-5 Information Provider, who shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), and by mailing notice of resignation by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trust Interest Owners at their addresses appearing on the Certificate Register, not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.8, such resignation is to take effect, and (ii) only upon acceptance by a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, appointed by the Depositor in accordance with Section 8.8 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.6.

If no successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, at the expense of the Trust. If at any time any of the following occur: (x) the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 and shall fail to resign after written request for the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s resignation by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable; (y) the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator materially defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; or (z) if at any time the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall become incapable of action, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or of either of their property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then in any such case, the Depositor may remove the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an authorized officer of the Depositor, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable.

Notice of any removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall be given to the Rating Agencies (through the successor 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, as applicable) and the Initial Purchasers by the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable. No removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall be effective until all reasonable fees, costs, expenses and Advances (including interest thereon) to which it is entitled have been paid to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in full; provided that, if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is terminated by the Depositor pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, or if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is terminated with cause by the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificates as provided above in this paragraph, then the terminated party shall be required to pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including those incurred by the other parties hereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees of counsel)) to transfer the rights and obligations of the terminated party to a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable; and provided, further, that if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is terminated without cause by the Holders of Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificates as provided above in this paragraph, then such Holders will be required to pay all the reasonable costs and expenses of the terminated party necessary to effect the transfer of the rights and obligations of the terminated party to a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, as provided in Section 8.8.
Payments and Statements to Certificateholders Remic Administration Section 5.01 Distributions On each Distribution Date, based solely on the information in the Servicer's Certificate, the Trustee shall distribute out of the Certificate Account (to the extent funds are available therein) to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution) (a) by check mailed to such Certificateholder entitled to receive a distribution on such Distribution Date at the address appearing in the Certificate Register, or (b) upon written request by the Holder of a Regular Certificate or a Class A-PO Certificate, by wire transfer or by such other means of payment as such Certificateholder and the Trustee shall agree upon, such Certificateholder's Percentage Interest in the amount to which the related Class of Certificates is entitled in accordance with the priorities set forth below in Section 5.02; provided, however, that distributions of principal to the Special Retail Certificates shall be made as described in Section 5.09.

Any Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Issuer may revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Certificate Paying Agent shall initially be Wilmington Trust, National Association, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Certificate Paying Agent. Wilmington Trust, National Association shall be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Owner Trustee. If Wilmington Trust, National Association shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent, the Issuer shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Issuer shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer to execute and deliver an instrument in which such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer that as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders.

The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The rights, protections, indemnities and immunities of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall apply to Wilmington Trust, National Association in its roles as Certificate Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and Relevant Trustee for so long as it shall act as Certificate Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and/or Relevant Trustee and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent, certificate registrar or authenticating agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.
