hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or
assigns of the parties hereto.

benefit of holders of the Securities as well as for the benefit of the Issuer,
and that such obligations on the part of the Administrator shall be enforceable

any action to cause the Depositor or the Issuer to dissolve in whole or in part

insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
against the Depositor or the Issuer, or file a petition seeking or consenting to
