Each such party further agrees that the Trust is acting as holder of record title to the 20 -SN Series Portfolio, other than the Vehicles contained therein, solely for the benefit of, and as agent and nominee of, the holder of the COLT 20 -SN Certificate, and shall not hold itself out or act in a manner inconsistent with it acting merely as agent and nominee.
