For all purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuing Entity hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement has been signed by U.S. Bank National Association not in its individual capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee and in no event shall U.S. Bank National Association have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuing Entity hereunder or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuing Entity.

In such event, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a sub-administrator to perform such obligations and duties.

21. Nonpetition Covenants.

(a) Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, the Depositor, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment of the Notes in full, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuing Entity to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuing Entity under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuing Entity or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuing Entity.
