Duties of the Trustee

SECTION 5.01. Action Upon Instructions. (a) It is the intention of the Beneficiary that the powers and duties of the Trustee are to be purely ministerial only, and that the Managing Beneficiary will have the power to direct the Trustee as to all non-ministerial matters concerning the administration of the Trust (to the extent such matters are within the powers of the Managing Beneficiary). Accordingly, subject to Sections 5.01(b), 5.01(c), and Article XII, the Managing Beneficiary will direct the Trustee in the management of the Trust and the Trust Estate. Such direction will be exercised at any time only by written instruction of the Managing Beneficiary delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Article V.

(b) The Trustee will take such action or actions as may be specified in any instructions delivered in accordance with Section 5.01(a); provided, however, that the Trustee will not be required to take any such action if the Trustee Bank will have been advised by counsel, that such action (i) is contrary to the terms hereof or of any document contemplated hereby to which the Trustee is a party or is otherwise contrary to law, or (ii) is likely to result in liability on the part of the Trustee Bank, unless the Trustee Bank will have received additional indemnification or security satisfactory to the Trustee Bank from the Managing Beneficiary against all costs, expenses and liabilities arising from the Trustee’s taking such action.

(c) The Managing Beneficiary will not direct the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action contrary to this Agreement, nor will the Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction.

(d) In the event that the Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement, or such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or this Agreement permits any determination by the Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action to be adopted, the Trustee will promptly give notice to the Managing Beneficiary requesting written instructions as to the course of action to be adopted and, to the extent the Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with such written instructions received from the Managing Beneficiary, the Trustee will not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Trustee will not have received appropriate written instructions within 30 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice) it may, but will be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement, as it deems to be in the best interest of the Beneficiary, and will have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

(e) The Trustee will, subject to this Section 5.01, act in accordance with the instructions given to it by the Managing Beneficiary pursuant to Section 5.01(a), and to the extent the Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with such instructions, the Trustee will not be liable on account of such action to any Person.

SECTION 5.02. No Duty to Act Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Trustee Bank nor the Trustee, except a Trustee Bank authorized as co-trustee, will be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action would (i) require the consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or taking of any action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political subdivisions thereof in existence on the date hereof other than the State of Delaware becoming payable by the Trustee Bank; or (iii) subject the Trustee Bank to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by the Trustee Bank or the Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby.

SECTION 5.03. No Duties Except Under Specified Agreements or Instructions. (a) The Trustee will not have any duty or obligation to manage, control, use, make any payment in respect of, register, record, insure, inspect, sell, dispose of, create, maintain or perfect any security interest or title in or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Estate, prepare, file or record any document or report (including any tax related filing for any holder of Notes), or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Agreement, the Trust or any document contemplated hereby to which the Trust or the Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in written instructions from the Managing Beneficiary received pursuant to Section 5.01; and no implied duties or obligations will be read into this Agreement against the Trustee. Unless otherwise directed by the Managing Beneficiary in accordance with Section 5.01(a), the Trustee will have no obligation or duty to take any action the Trust is authorized and empowered to take pursuant to Section 2.03(a). The Trustee Bank nevertheless agrees that it will, in its individual capacity and at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any lien, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance on any part of the Trust Estate which results from actions by or claims against the Trustee Bank not related to the ownership of any part of the Trust Estate.

(b) The Trustee agrees that it will not manage, control, use, lease, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to, or the authority conferred upon, the Trustee pursuant to this Trust Agreement, or (ii) in accordance with the express terms hereof or with written instructions from the Managing Beneficiary pursuant to Section 5.01. Unless otherwise directed by the Managing Beneficiary in accordance with Section 5.01(a), the Trustee will not be required to perform any obligations or duties of the Trust under the Indenture, which duties and obligations will be the sole responsibility of the Managing Beneficiary.

(a) the Trust will act solely in its own name through the Trustee or the Managing Beneficiary;

(b) the Trust will not incur any indebtedness for money borrowed or incur any obligations except in connection with the purposes set forth in Section 2.03 of this Agreement;

(c) the Trust’s funds and assets will at all times be maintained separately from those of the Beneficiary and its affiliates;

(d) the Trust will take all reasonable steps to continue its identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third persons that it is an entity with assets and liability distinct from those of the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s affiliates or any other third person, and will use stationery and other business forms of the Trustee or the Trust and not that of the Beneficiary or any of its affiliates, and will use its best efforts to avoid the appearance (i) of conducting business on behalf of the Beneficiary or any affiliates thereof, or (ii) that the assets of the Trust are available to pay the creditors of the Beneficiary or any affiliates thereof;

(e) the Trust will not hold itself out as being liable for the debts of the Beneficiary or any affiliates thereof;

(f) the Trust will not engage in any transaction with the Beneficiary or any affiliates thereof, except as required, or specifically permitted, by this Agreement or unless such transaction is otherwise on terms neither more favorable nor less favorable than the terms and conditions available at the time to the Trust for comparable transactions with other Persons unaffiliated with the Beneficiary; and

(g) the Trust will not enter into any voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding without a finding that the Trust’s liabilities exceeds its assets or that the Trust is unable to pay its debts in a timely manner as they become due.

SECTION 5.05. Execution of Documents. The Trustee will, at the written direction of the Managing Beneficiary, execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust such instruments, agreements and certificates contemplated hereby to which the Trust is a party (such direction to be conclusively evidenced by the Trustee’s execution and delivery of such documents to, and acceptance by, the Managing Beneficiary or its counsel).

SECTION 5.06. Nonpetition Covenants. Notwithstanding any prior termination of the Trust or this Agreement, each of the Trustee and the Beneficiary in its individual capacity covenants and agrees that it will not at any time with respect to the Trust or the Master Trust acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Trust or the Master Trust to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Trust or the Master Trust under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Trust or the Master Trust or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Trust or the Master Trust; provided, however, that this Section 5.06 will not preclude any remedy described in Article VII of the Indenture.

The Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any entity as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Trustee may for all purposes rely on an officer’s certificate of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such officer’s certificate will constitute full protection to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

The Trustee may resign at any time without cause by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Beneficiary. In addition, the Beneficiary may at any time remove the Trustee without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the Trustee. No such removal or resignation will become effective until a successor Trustee, however appointed, becomes vested as Trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 8.02. The Managing Beneficiary will notify the Rating Agencies promptly after the resignation or removal of the Trustee and promptly after the appointment of a successor Trustee.

SECTION 8.02. Transfer Procedures.

SECTION 8.04. Co-trustees and Separate Trustees.

If such Trust Certificates are unavailable, Citibank shall provide a lost certificate affidavit including indemnity to the Trustee, which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, as provided in Section 10.03.

(b) Each Trust Certificate will be executed by manual signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer.

(a) As of the Merger Date, the Ownership Interest will be beneficially owned by Citibank (as successor by merger to Citibank (South Dakota)). Transfers of the Ownership Interest and the Trust Certificates may be made between Citibank and any other Person who is an Affiliate of Citibank (a “Permitted Transferee”). The Beneficiary may not transfer, assign, exchange or otherwise pledge or convey all or any part of its right, title and interest in and to a Trust Certificate or the Ownership Interest to any other Person, except (i) to any Permitted Transferee, or (ii) to the extent a corresponding transfer of the Series 2000 Certificate would be permitted by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any purported transfer by the Beneficiary of all or any part of its right, title and interest in and to a Trust Certificate or Ownership Interest (1) to any Person (other than a transfer to a Permitted Transferee) will be effective only upon issuance of a Master Trust Tax Opinion and an Issuer Tax Opinion (each as defined in the Indenture), which will not be an expense of the Trustee or Trustee Bank, and (2) not in compliance with the terms of this Section 10.02 will be null and void.

SECTION 10.03. Lost or Destroyed Trust Certificate. If any Trust Certificate will become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Trustee will, upon the written request of the holder of such Trust Certificate, and compliance with all applicable terms of this paragraph, execute and deliver to such holder in replacement thereof a new Trust Certificate dated the same date as on the Trust Certificate so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen. If the Trust Certificate being replaced has been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such Trust Certificate will furnish to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by the Trustee to save the Trustee harmless from any damage, loss or liability in connection with such Trust Certificate, and the Trustee may require from the party requesting such new Trust Certificate payment of a sum to reimburse the Trustee for, or to provide funds for, the payment of any costs, fees and expenses and any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith and any charges paid or payable by the Trustee.

ARTICLE XI

In case any such action, investigation or proceeding will be brought involving an Indemnified Person, the Trust will assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and the payment of all expenses.
