Participation Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Participation Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall request from each Holder
an advance and each Holder shall make an advance under the Holder

Section 5 of the Participation Agreement provided that, after giving effect
to any Holder Funding (i) the outstanding amount of all Holder Fundings by
such Holder shall not exceed its Holder Commitment, and (ii) the aggregate

under the Holder Commitments during the Commitment Period on any date that
an Advance may be requested pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2(a) of the
Participation Agreement, provided that the Owner Trustee shall give each
Holder irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by each Holder (i)
prior to 11:00 A.M., Charlotte, North Carolina time, three Business Days
prior to the requested date of advance if all or any part of the requested
advance is to be a Eurodollar Holder Funding or (ii) prior to 11:00 A.M.,
Charlotte, North Carolina time one Business Day prior to the requested date
of advance with respect to any advance that is to be a Base Rate Holder
Funding), specifying (A) the amount to be advanced, (B) the requested date
of advance, (C) whether the advance is to be a Eurodollar Holder Funding or
a Base Rate Holder Funding or a combination thereof, and (D) if the advance
is to be a combination of Eurodollar Holder Fundings and Base Rate Holder

however, that prior to the Completion Date for any specified Property (1)
there shall be only two (2) Interest Periods in effect at any specified
date, which Interest Periods shall apply to all Eurodollar Holder Fundings
then outstanding with respect to such Property, and which Interest Periods
shall be one month in length (subject to the adjustments set forth in the
definition of "Interest Period"), (2) the first Interest Period shall
commence on the date that the first Eurodollar Holder Advance is made
hereunder, (3) each succeeding Interest Period shall begin on the last day
of one of the two (2) permitted Interest Periods, and (4) any amounts
advanced or converted hereunder which are to bear Holder Yield based on the
Eurodollar Rate may only be advanced or converted on the first day of a
permitted Interest Period. Pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2 and
Section 11.2 of the Participation Agreement, the Owner
3
8
Trustee shall be deemed to have delivered such notice upon the delivery of
a notice by the Lessee or the Construction Agent containing such required
information.
(b) Upon receipt of the Requisition and the notice delivered pursuant
to Section 3.1(a), each Holder shall make the amount of its Holder Funding
available to the Owner Trustee at the office of the Owner Trustee referred
to in Section 11.4 prior to 2:00 P.M., Charlotte, North Carolina time on
the date requested by the Lessee in funds immediately available to the
Owner Trustee.
(c) The Eurodollar Holder Funding shall have an Interest Period of
one, two, three, six or nine months, as specified in the definition of
"Interest Period," subject only to the limitations specified in such
definition and to the provisions of Sections 3.1(a), 3.7(c), 3.8 and 3.9.
Any Holder Funding other than a Eurodollar Holder Funding shall constitute
a Base Rate Holder Funding.
(d) On each date which is three Business Days prior to any Scheduled
Interest Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have requested
a Eurodollar Holder Funding pursuant to Section 3.1(a) in an amount equal
to the aggregate amount of Allocated Return due and payable on such date
with respect to the Construction Period Properties. The date such Holder
Funding shall be made with respect to any such request shall be the
relevant Scheduled Interest Payment Date and the proceeds of such Holder
Funding shall be applied to pay such Allocated Return. On each such date,
the Holder Property Cost and Holder Construction Property Cost of each
Construction Period Property shall be increased by an amount equal to the
Allocated Return paid on such date with the proceeds of such Holder
Funding.
(e) The Holder Fundings made by each Holder to the Trust Estate shall
be evidenced by a Certificate of the Owner Trustee, substantially in the
form of Exhibit A hereto, issued in the name of the Holder and in an amount
equal to the Holder Commitment of such Holder. Each Certificate shall (i)
be dated as of the Initial Closing Date and (ii) bear a yield on the unpaid
Holder Amount thereof from time to time outstanding at the Holder Yield.
SECTION 3.2 CERTIFICATE YIELD. The Owner Trustee shall pay to each
Holder, from the Trust Estate, its pro rata portion of Holder Yield on Holder
Fundings made hereunder. Payment of Holder Yield on each Holder Funding shall
be made in arrears on each Payment Date. If the date on which such payment of
Holder Yield shall be due shall not be a Business Day, such payment shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day.
SECTION 3.3 SCHEDULED RETURN OF HOLDER FUNDINGS. Except in the case of
early return of advances as set forth in Section 3.4 below or upon default, no
return of the principal amount of the Holder Fundings shall be due prior to the

Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall pay to each Holder its aggregate unpaid
Holder Amount together with all accrued but unpaid Holder Yield
4
9
and all other amounts due the Holders from the Owner Trustee hereunder or under
the Operative Agreements.
SECTION 3.4 EARLY RETURN OF HOLDER FUNDINGS. As contemplated by and
pursuant to the terms of the Lease, the Lessee shall be required or may elect
under certain circumstances as described in the Lease to pay the Termination
Value with respect to one or more Properties or purchase one or more Properties
and upon such purchase or payment the amounts paid by the Lessee in connection
therewith shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of Section 8 of the
Credit Agreement. Any such amounts received by the Owner Trustee shall be paid
over by the Owner Trustee to each Holder in an amount equal to such Holder's
pro rata portion of the Holder Amount relating to the applicable Property or
Properties. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in this Section 3.4, any
prepayment of the Certificates shall be in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 2.6 and 8.1(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement so that so long as any
amount of the Loans is outstanding the aggregate amount of the outstanding
Holder Fundings as evidenced by the Certificates shall be equal to or greater
than three percent (3%) of the Property Cost. Any amounts of any Holder
Funding which are repaid to the Holders may be readvanced hereunder at any time
prior to the Construction Period Termination Date subject to any conditions on
Holder Fundings (and the limit on the aggregate number of Properties) set forth
herein and in the other Operative Agreements.
SECTION 3.5 PAYMENTS FROM TRUST ESTATE ONLY. All payments to be made by
the Owner Trustee under this Trust Agreement (including, without limitation,
any payments pursuant to Section 3.10) shall be made only from the income and
proceeds from the Trust Estate and only to the extent that the Owner Trustee
shall have received income or proceeds from the Trust Estate to make such
payments in accordance with the terms hereof, except as specifically provided
in Section 6.1. Each Holder agrees that it will look solely to the income and
proceeds from the Trust Estate to the extent available for payment as herein
provided and that, except as specifically provided herein, Trust Company shall
not be liable to any Holder for any amounts payable under this Trust Agreement
and shall not be subject to any liability under this Trust Agreement.
SECTION 3.6 METHOD OF PAYMENT. All amounts payable to a Holder pursuant
to this Trust Agreement shall be paid or caused to be paid by the Owner Trustee
to, or for the account of, such Holder, or its nominee, by transferring such
amount in immediately available funds to a bank institution or banking
institutions with bank wire transfer facilities for the account of such Holder
or as otherwise instructed in writing from time to time by such Holder.
SECTION 3.7 COMPUTATION OF YIELD.
(a) Holder Yield shall be calculated on the basis established in
Section 14.16 of the Participation Agreement, with respect to length of a
"year" and number of days for which interest is accrued. Any change in the
Holder Yield resulting from a change in the Base Rate, Eurodollar Reserve
Percentage, or otherwise, shall become effective as of the opening of
business on the day on which such change would become effective under the
Existing Wackenhut Corrections Credit Agreement.
5
10
(b) Pursuant to Section 14.14 of the Participation Agreement, the
calculation of Holder Yield under this Section 3.7 shall be made by the
Administrative Agent. Each determination of an interest rate by the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Owner Trustee
and the Holders in the absence of manifest error.
(c) If the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined by the Administrative
Agent in the manner specified in the definition of the term "Eurodollar
Rate", the Owner Trustee shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof
to the Holders as soon as practicable after receipt of same from the
Administrative Agent. Until such time as the Eurodollar Rate can be
determined by the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in the
definition of such term, no further Eurodollar Holder Fundings shall be
made or continue as such at the end of the then current Interest Period and
all Holder Fundings shall continue as Base Rate Holder Fundings.
SECTION 3.8 CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION OPTIONS.
(a) Subject to the restrictions set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.7(c) and
3.9, the Owner Trustee may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate
Holder Fundings to Eurodollar Holder Fundings by giving each Holder at
least three Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election. All
or any part of outstanding Holder Fundings may be converted as provided
herein, provided that (i) no Base Rate Holder Funding may be converted into
a Eurodollar Holder Funding when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (ii) no Base Rate Holder Funding may be converted into a
Eurodollar Holder Funding which matures after the Maturity Date, (iii)
during the Commitment Period such conversion may only occur on the first
day of an Interest Period permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1
hereof and (iv) such notice of conversion shall contain an election by the
Owner Trustee of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Holder Funding to
be created by such conversion and such Interest Period shall satisfy the
conditions of the definition of the term "Interest Period" as set forth in
Appendix A to the Participation Agreement.
(b) Subject to the restrictions set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.7(c) and
3.9 hereof, any Eurodollar Holder Funding may be continued as such upon the
expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the
Owner Trustee giving irrevocable notice to each Holder in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the definition of the term "Interest Period"
as set forth in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement; provided that no
Eurodollar Holder Funding may be continued as such (i) when any Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) if such Eurodollar Holder
Funding would mature after the Maturity Date and provided, further, that if
the Owner Trustee shall fail to give any required notice as described above
in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the
preceding provision, such Holder Funding shall be automatically converted
to a Base Rate Holder Funding on the last day of such then expiring
Interest Period.

11
SECTION 3.9 INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY, ETC.
(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other
than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements
that are expressly included in the calculation of the Eurodollar Reserve
Rate) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the
compliance with any guideline or request hereafter adopted, promulgated or
made, by any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not
having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any
Holder of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Holder
Fundings, then the Owner Trustee shall from time to time, upon demand by
such Holder, pay to such Holder additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Holder for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of
such increased cost, submitted to the Owner Trustee by such Holder, shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If any Holder determines that compliance with any law or
regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law, but in each
case promulgated or made after the date hereof) affects or would affect the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Holder or
any corporation controlling such Holder and that the amount of such capital
is increased by or based upon the existence of such Holder's commitment to
make Holder Fundings hereunder and other commitments of this type, then,
upon demand by such Holder, the Owner Trustee shall immediately pay to such
Holder, from time to time as specified by such Holder, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Holder or such corporation in the light of
such circumstances, to the extent that such Holder reasonably determines
such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Holder's
commitment to make Holder Fundings hereunder. A certificate as to such
amounts submitted to the Owner Trustee by such Holder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Without affecting its rights under Section 3.9(a) or 3.9(b) or any
other provision of this Trust Agreement, each Holder agrees that if there
is any increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by
such Holder with respect to which the Owner Trustee would be obligated to
compensate such Holder pursuant to Section 3.9(a) or 3.9(b) or 2.10(b),
such Holder shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative office
from which to fund Holder Fundings which would not result in any such
increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by such
Holder; provided, however, that no Holder shall be obligated to select such
an alternate office if such Holder determines that (i) as a result of such
selection such Holder would be in violation of any applicable law,
regulation, treaty, or guideline, or would incur additional costs or
expenses or (ii) such selection would be inadvisable for regulatory reasons
or would impose an unreasonable burden or additional costs on such Holder.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, if
any Holder shall notify the Owner Trustee that the introduction of or any
change in any law or regulation, or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation makes it unlawful, or any
7
12
central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful,
for any Holder to perform its obligations hereunder to make or maintain
Eurodollar Holder Fundings then (i) each Eurodollar Holder Funding will
automatically, at the end of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Holder
Funding, convert into a Base Rate Holder Funding and (ii) the obligation of
the Holders to make, convert or continue Eurodollar Holder Fundings shall
be suspended until such Holder shall notify the Owner Trustee that such
Holder has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no
longer exist.
SECTION 3.10 CONTRIBUTION INDEMNITY. Subject to the provisions of Section
3.11, the Owner Trustee agrees to indemnify each Holder and to hold each Holder
harmless from any loss or reasonable expense which such Holder may sustain or
incur as a consequence of (a) failure of the Owner Trustee to accept any Holder
Funding hereunder after the Owner Trustee has given a notice requesting the
same in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement(other than by
reason of the failure of a Holder or Holders to make funds available without
cause), (b) failure of the Owner Trustee to make any prepayment of a Holder
Funding after the Owner Trustee has given a notice thereof in accordance with
the provisions of this Trust Agreement, or (c) the making of a voluntary or
involuntary prepayment of a Eurodollar Holder Funding on a day which is not the
last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification
shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of Holder
Yield which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not accepted,
converted or continued for the period from the date of such prepayment or of
such failure to accept, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest
Period (or, in the case of a failure to accept, convert or continue, the
Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each
case at the applicable Holder Yield rate for such Holder Fundings provided for
herein over (ii) the amount of yield (as determined by such Holder) which would
have accrued to such Holder on such amount by placing such amount on deposit
for a comparable period with leading banks in the relevant interest rate
market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement
and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 3.11 NOTICE OF AMOUNTS PAYABLE; MANDATORY ASSIGNMENT.
(a) Notice. In the event that any Holder becomes aware that any
amounts are or will be owed to it pursuant to Section 3.9,3.10 or 3.12 or
that it is unable to make Holder Fundings which bear a yield based on the
Eurodollar Rate, then it shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee thereof
and, as soon as possible thereafter, such Holder shall submit to the Owner
Trustee a certificate indicating the amount owing to it and the calculation
thereof. The amounts set forth in such certificate shall be prima facie
evidence of the obligations of the Owner Trustee hereunder.
(b) Mandatory Assignment. In the event that any Holder delivers to the
Owner Trustee a certificate pursuant to Section 3.11(a) in connection with
amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.9 or Section 3.10, or such Holder is
required to make Holder Fundings as Base Rate Holder Fundings in accordance
with Section 3.9(d) then the Owner Trustee may, at its own expense and in
its sole discretion, (i) require such Holder
8
13
to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, without recourse (in accordance
with Section 12.1 of the Participation Agreement), all or part of its
interests, rights (except for rights to be indemnified for actions taken
while a party hereunder) and obligations under this Agreement to a
replacement bank or institution if the Owner Trustee, with the full
cooperation of such Holder, can identify a Person who is ready, willing and
able to be such replacement bank or institution with respect thereto and
such replacement bank or institution (which may be another Holder) shall
assume such assigned obligations, or (ii) during such time as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, terminate the Holder
Commitment of such Holder and prepay all outstanding Holder Fundings of
such Holder; provided, however, that (x) the Owner Trustee or such
replacement bank or institution, as the case may be, shall have paid to
such Holder in immediately available funds the principal amount of and
Holder Yield accrued to the date of such payment on the Holder Fundings
made by it hereunder and all other amounts owed to it hereunder (and, if
such Holder is also a Lender, the principal amount of all Loans and all
interest accrued and unpaid thereon), (y) any termination of Holder
Commitments shall be accompanied by a pro rata reduction of Commitments for
Loans subject to the terms of Section 2.5(a) of the Credit Agreement and
(z) such assignment or termination of the Holder Commitment of such Holder
and prepayment of Holder Fundings does not conflict with any law, rule or
regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority.
SECTION 3.12 TAXES.
(a) All payments made by the Owner Trustee under this Trust Agreement
and the Certificates shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction
or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income,
documentary stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income
taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on
any Holder as a result of a present or former connection between such
Holder and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax
or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other
than any such connection arising solely from such Holder having executed,
delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or
enforced, this Trust Agreement, any Certificate or any other Operative
Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") are
required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Holder hereunder or
under the Certificates, the amounts so payable to such Lender shall be
increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Holder (after payment of
all Non-Excluded Taxes) Holder Yield or any such other amounts payable
hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Trust Agreement
and the Certificates, provided, however, that the Owner Trustee shall not
be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Holder that is not
organized under the laws of the U.S. or a state thereof if such Holder
fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of
9
14
this Section 3.12. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the
Owner Trustee, then as promptly as possible thereafter the Owner Trustee
shall send to such Holder a certified copy of an original official receipt
received by the Owner Trustee showing payment thereof. If the Owner
Trustee fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate
taxing authority or fails to remit to such Holder the required receipts or
other required documentary evidence, the Owner Trustee shall indemnify the

subject to the terms of Section 9.1(c), be the Owner Trustee under this
Trust Agreement without further act.
SECTION 9.2 CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES. Whenever (a) the Owner
Trustee or the Holders (i) shall deem it necessary or prudent in order to
conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Trust
Estate shall be situated or to which it may be subject, or to make any claim or
bring any suit with respect to the Trust Estate or any Operative
20
25
Agreement, or (ii) shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to the Trustee or
the Holders, as the case may be, that it is so necessary or prudent, or (b) the
Owner Trustee shall have been directed to do so by the Holders and the
Administrative Agent, then the Owner Trustee and the Holders shall execute and
deliver an agreement supplemental hereto and all other instruments and
agreements, and shall take all other action, necessary or proper to constitute
one or more Persons who need not meet the requirements of Section 9.1(c) (and
the Owner Trustee may appoint one or more of its officers) either as co-trustee
or co-trustees (the "Co-Owner Trustee"), jointly with the Owner Trustee, of all
or any part of the Trust Estate, or as separate trustee or separate trustees of
all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Persons, in such
capacity, such title to the Trust Estate or any part thereof and such rights or
duties as may be necessary or desirable, all for such period and under such
terms and conditions as are satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Holders.
In accordance with the foregoing:
(a) Trust Company shall appoint a Co-Owner Trustee hereunder in part
so that if, under any present or future law of any State where the
Properties are located or of any jurisdiction in which it may be necessary
to perform any act in carrying out the trusts herein created, Trust Company
or any of its successors may be incompetent or unqualified or incapacitated
or unwilling to perform certain acts as such Owner Trustee, then upon the
written request of Trust Company of any of its successors received by any
Co-Owner Trustee, all of such acts required to be performed in such
jurisdiction in the execution of the trust hereby created, shall and will
be performed by such Co-Owner Trustee, or any of his successors, in trust
acting alone, as if he or such successor had been specifically authorized
to do so or had been the sole Owner Trustee hereunder. Any Co-Owner
Trustee shall continue to perform such acts until otherwise directed in
writing by Trust Company or any of its successors. Any request in writing
by Trust Company or any of its successors to a Co-Owner Trustee shall be
sufficient warrant for him to take such action as may be so requested.
(b) Except to the extent it may be deemed necessary for any Co-Owner
Trustee or any of his successors solely or jointly to execute the trusts
herein created, Trust Company or any of its successors shall alone possess
and exercise the powers, and shall be solely charged with the performance
of the duties herein declared to be possessed, exercised or performed by
the Owner Trustee; and no Co-Owner Trustee shall be liable therefor. Any
Co-Owner Trustee or any of his successors may delegate to Trust Company or
its successor hereunder the exercise of any power or discretion conferred
by any provision of this Trust Agreement.
(c) Any act of the Owner Trustee herein required or authorized shall
and will be jointly or separately performed by Trust Company or its
successors hereunder and by any Co-Owner Trustee or any of his successors
appointed hereunder, if such joint performance or separate performance
shall be necessary to the legality of such act and when so acting all
references herein to "First Security Bank, National Association" shall be
deemed to be references to such Co-Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
and all references to "Owner Trustee" shall be deemed to be references to
such Co-Owner Trustee, and such Co-Owner Trustee shall be entitled to all
the protection,
21
26
indemnification, immunity and compensation herein provided to Trust Company
acting singly in reference to such acts (subject to the limitations to such
a protection, indemnification, immunity and compensation set forth herein).
(d) Trust Company or its successor in trust shall have and is hereby
given the power at any time by an instrument in writing duly executed by a
Vice President, and under its corporate seal, to remove any Co-Owner
Trustee or his successor, from his position as Co-Owner Trustee hereunder.
In the case of death, resignation, removal, incapacity or inability to act
hereunder of the Co-Owner Trustee, or his successor as Co-Owner Trustee,
(i) any adult citizen of the United States of America may be appointed
Co-Owner Trustee hereunder by a person who shall at the time be a Vice
President of the corporation then acting as Owner Trustee hereunder, by an
instrument in writing duly executed, and (ii) subject to its right to
revoke such appointment or to appoint another person, Trust Company shall
appoint a successor Co-Owner Trustee, such appointment to be immediately
effective. In the event a vacancy occurs in the office of the Co-Owner
Trustee, either by reason of resignation, removal, incapacity or inability
to act and no successor is appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions
within 30 days after such vacancy occurs, the Holders and the
Administrative Agent may jointly appoint a successor to the Co-Owner
Trustee in the same manner as is provided for the appointment of a
successor to the Co-Owner Trustee hereunder.
(e) At any time or times, for the purposes of meeting the legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate
hereunder may at the time be located, or to avoid any violation of law or
imposition of taxes not otherwise imposed on the Owner Trustee, or if the
Owner Trustee shall deem it desirable for its own protection, Trust Company
shall have power to appoint one or more persons (who may be officers of
Trust Company) either to act as an additional co-trustee, jointly with
Trust Company, of all or any part of the Trust Estate hereunder, or of any
property constituting part thereof, or to act as separate trustee of any
part of the Trust Estate, in either case with such powers as may be
provided in the instrument of appointment and are consistent with the terms
hereof, and to vest in such person or persons (in such capacity as
co-trustee or separate trustee), any property, title, right or power deemed
necessary or desirable, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section
9.2.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Trust Agreement to the
contrary, any Co-Owner Trustee or co-trustee shall act upon and be subject
to the following terms and conditions:
All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred or imposed solely upon and
solely exercised and performed by Trust Company except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or
acts are to be performed Trust Company or the Owner Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts or to avoid any
violation of law or imposition of taxes not otherwise imposed on the
Owner Trustee, or if the Owner Trustee shall deem it desirable for its
own
22
27
protection, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or Co-Owner
Trustee.
(g) No power granted by this Trust Agreement to, or which this Trust
Agreement provides may be exercised by, the Owner Trustee in respect of the
custody, control and management of moneys may be exercised by any Co-Owner
Trustee or any subsequently appointed co-trustee except jointly with, or
with the consent in writing of, Trust Company for disbursement or
application in accordance with the terms hereof.
(h) All moneys which may be received or collected by any Co-Owner
Trustee or such subsequently appointed co-trustees shall be paid over to
Trust Company to be distributed in accordance with this Trust Agreement and
the other Operative Agreements.
(i) Any Co-Owner Trustee, or any subsequently appointed co-trustee to
the extent permitted by law, does hereby constitute Trust Company or its
successors hereunder his or her agent or attorney in fact, with full power
and authority to do any and all acts and things and exercise any and all
discretion authorized or permitted by the Co-Owner Trustee or such
subsequently appointed co-trustee, in its behalf or in its name.
(j) No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.
SECTION 9.3 NOTICE. At all times that a successor Owner Trustee is
appointed pursuant to Section 9.1, an Owner Trustee resigns pursuant to Section
9.1 or the Co-Owner Trustee, a co-trustee or separate trustee, is appointed
pursuant to Section 9.2, the Holders shall give joint notice of such fact
within 15 days of its occurrence to (x) the Lessee, if the Lease is then in
effect and (y) the Administrative Agent, if the Credit Agreement is in effect.

agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust
