to the Interim Trust Loans on behalf and for the benefit of the Seller, with a
valid lender identification number with respect to the Interim Trust Loans from

The Interim Eligible Lender Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Seller shall promptly appoint a
successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee meeting the eligibility requirements
of Section 8.1 by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the resigning Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and one copy
to the successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee. If no successor Interim
Eligible Lender Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Interim Eligible Lender Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee;
provided, however, that such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment
-------- -------
of any such successor shall in no event relieve the resigning Interim Eligible
Lender Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under this
Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the Sale Agreement until such successor has
in fact assumed such appointment.
If at any time the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall cease to be or
shall be likely to cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Seller, then the Seller may remove the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee. If the
Seller shall remove the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee under the authority of
the immediately preceding sentence, the Seller shall promptly appoint a
successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be

delivered to the outgoing Interim Eligible Lender Trustee so removed and one
copy to the successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee together with payment of
all fees owed to the outgoing Interim Eligible Lender Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and
appointment of a successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee pursuant to any of
the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of
appointment by the successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee pursuant to Section
8.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Interim Eligible
Lender Trustee.
SECTION 8.3 Successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee. Any successor
-----------------------------------------
Interim Eligible Lender Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.2 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Seller and to its predecessor Interim Eligible
Lender Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Interim Eligible
Lender Trustee shall become effective and such successor Interim Eligible Lender
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under
this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Interim Eligible
Lender Trustee. The predecessor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall upon
payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Interim Eligible
Lender Trustee all documents, statements, moneys and properties held by it under
this Agreement and shall assign, if permissible, to the successor Interim
Eligible Lender Trustee any lender identification number obtained from the
Department with respect to the Interim Trust Loans; and the Seller and the
predecessor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee 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 Interim Eligible Lender
Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
