KL2 3304888.6
Transaction Documents. It is the intention of the parties that the Trust Owner, as holder of the Trust Certificate shall have no economic interest in the Trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Residual Interest Owner have only an economic interest in the Trust, and that the Trust not constitute a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Residual Interest Owner (or of any of its Affiliates) for any purpose, other than for tax purposes. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust constitutes a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that this Agreement constitutes the governing instrument of such statutory trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from the sole Residual Interest Owner for federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii). The parties agree not to take any action inconsistent with such intended federal and applicable state and local income tax treatment. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and in the Statutory Trust Statute for the sole purpose and to the extent necessary to accomplish the purpose of the Trust as set forth in the introductory sentence of Section 2.03(a) hereof.
|
(a) |
Pursuant to Section 3803(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute, the Depositor shall be liable directly to and will indemnify any injured party or any other creditor of the Trust for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the Trust to the extent that the Depositor would be liable if the Trust were a partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act in which the Depositor were a general partner; provided, however, that neither the Depositor nor the Trust Owner shall under any circumstances be liable for any losses incurred by a Noteholder in the capacity of an investor in the Notes. In addition, any third party creditors of the Trust (other than in connection with the obligations described in the immediately preceding sentence for which the Depositor and the Trust Owner shall not be liable) shall be deemed third party beneficiaries of the Depositor’s obligations under this paragraph. The obligations of the Depositor under this paragraph shall be evidenced by the Residual Interest Certificate described in Section 3.05 hereof. |
|
(b) |
The Trust Owner, solely by virtue of its being the Certificateholder of the Trust Certificate, shall not have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Trust. |
Legal title to the Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Trust Estate to be vested in an Owner Trustee or Owner Trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.
Neither the Trust Owner nor the Residual Interest Owner shall have legal title to any part of the Trust Estate or any interest in specific property comprising the Trust Estate. No transfer by operation of law or otherwise of any interest of the Trust Owner or the Residual Interest Owner shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust hereunder or entitle any transferee to any accounting or to the transfer to it of any part of the Trust Estate. No creditor of the Trust Owner or the Residual Interest Owner shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to any property of the Trust. The Trust Owner’s beneficial

|
(b) |
Representations and Warranties of Trust Owner. The Trust Owner hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that: |
|
(i) |
The Trust Owner is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business. |

7 KL2 3304888.6 |

|
(a) |
It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, the Trust will not be treated as a taxable mortgage pool or an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from the sole Residual Interest Owner for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii). The Trust Certificate must at all times be held by either the Trust Owner or its transferee as sole owner and does not represent an economic interest in the Trust. The Residual Interest Certificate constitutes the entire residual economic interest in the Trust (after payments to the Noteholders in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents) and must at all times be held by the Depositor or its transferee. The parties hereto agree not to take any action inconsistent with such intended federal and applicable state and local income tax treatment. Because for federal income tax purposes, the Trust will be disregarded as an entity separate from the Residual Interest Owner, items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Trust for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated entirely to the Depositor (or, if the Residual Interest Certificate is transferred, the subsequent holder of the Residual Interest Certificate) as the sole owner of the residual economic interest in the Trust. |
The Depositor and the Trust Owner agree and covenant (severally, as applicable) that during the term of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that:
|
(b) |
in the event that any litigation with claims in excess of $25,000 to which the Depositor is a party which shall be reasonably likely to result in a material judgment against the Depositor that the Depositor will not be able to satisfy shall be commenced, during the period beginning immediately following the commencement of such litigation and continuing until such litigation is dismissed or otherwise terminated (and, if such litigation has resulted in a final judgment against the Depositor, such judgment has been satisfied), the Depositor shall not pay any dividend to its Affiliates, or make any distribution on or in respect of its capital stock to its Affiliates, or repay the principal amount of any indebtedness of the Depositor held by its Affiliates, unless after giving effect to such payment, distribution or repayment, the Depositor’s liquid assets shall not be less than the amount of actual damages claimed in such litigation; |
|
(c) |
neither the Depositor nor the Trust Owner shall, for any reason, institute proceedings for the Trust to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to the bankruptcy of the Trust, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trust or a substantial part of the property of the Trust or cause or permit the Trust to make
8 KL2 3304888.6 |
any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing the inability of the Trust to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a moratorium on the debt of the Trust or take any action in furtherance of any such action; |
|
(d) |
neither the Depositor nor the Trust Owner shall create, incur or suffer to exist any indebtedness or engage in any business, except, in each case, as permitted by its certificate of incorporation, by-laws and the Transaction Documents; |
|
(e) |
it shall obtain from each other party to each Transaction Document to which it or the Trust is a party and each other agreement entered into on or after the date hereof to which it or the Trust is a party, an agreement by each such counterparty that prior to the occurrence of the event specified in Section 9.01(e) hereof such counterparty shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, it or the Trust, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States; |
|
(f) |
it shall not, for any reason, withdraw or attempt to withdraw from this Agreement, dissolve, institute proceedings for it to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of it or a substantial part of its property, or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a moratorium on its debt or take any action in furtherance of any such action; and |
|
(g) |
it shall not transfer the Trust Certificate (in the case of the Trust Owner) or the Residual Interest Certificate (in the case of the Depositor) unless the transferee agrees that it shall comply with the provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, paragraph (b) above, and, in the case of the Trust Owner, shall only transfer the Trust Certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, and, in the case of the Depositor, shall only transfer the Residual Interest Certificate in accordance with Section 3.05. |
The Depositor, the Trust Owner and the Owner Trustee agree and covenant (severally, as applicable) that during the term of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that:
|
(h) |
The Trust shall maintain its chief executive office and a telephone number separate from that of any Controlling Entity (as hereinafter defined) and shall conspicuously identify such office as its office. |
|
(i) |
The Trust shall maintain its financial statements, accounting records and other organization documents separate from those of any Controlling Entity or any other person or entity. |
|
(j) |
The Trust shall prepare unaudited annual financial statements, and the Trust’s financial statements shall comply with generally accepted accounting principles (except as noted in such financial statements). |
9
KL2 3304888.6
|
(k) |
The Trust shall maintain its own separate bank accounts and correct, complete and separate books of account. |
|
(l) |
The Trust shall hold itself out to the public (including any Controlling Entity’s creditors) under the Trust’s own name and as a separate and distinct corporate entity. The Trust’s name may not be used by any other Controlling Entity in the conduct of its business, nor may the Trust use the name of any other Controlling Entity in the conduct of its business. The Trust must have a separate telephone number, stationery and other business forms. |
|
(m) |
All customary formalities regarding the existence of the Trust shall be observed. |
|
(n) |
All business transactions entered into by the Trust with any Controlling Entity shall be on such terms and conditions (including terms relating to amounts paid under such transactions) as would be generally available in comparable transactions if such business transactions were with an entity that was not a Controlling Entity and shall be approved by the Indenture Trustee. |
|
(o) |
Except as provided in Section 2.03 hereof, the Trust shall not guarantee or assume or hold itself out or permit itself to be held out as having guaranteed or assumed any liabilities or obligations of a Controlling Entity or any other person or entity. |
|
(p) |
Other than organizational expenses, the Trust shall pay its own liabilities, indebtedness and obligations of any kind, including all administrative expenses, from its own separate assets in accordance with the provisions hereunder and in the Indenture. |
|
(q) |
Assets of the Trust shall be separately identified, maintained and segregated. The Trust’s assets shall at all times be held by or on behalf of the Trust and, if held on behalf of the Trust by another entity (including any Controlling Entity), shall be kept identifiable (in accordance with customary usages) as assets owned by the Trust. |
As defined herein, “Controlling Entity” means any entity (A) which beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the outstanding Certificates of Trust, (B) of which 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any entity described in clause (A) above, or (C) which otherwise controls or otherwise is controlled by or otherwise is under common control with any person or entity described in clause (A) above; provided, however, for purposes of this definition, the terms “control,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” shall have the meanings assigned to them in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

Since the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor as set forth in Section 2.05 hereof and the issuance of the Trust Certificate (as “Trust Certificate” is defined in the Previously Amended Trust Agreement, the “Previous Trust Certificate”) to the Trust Owner, the
10 KL2 3304888.6 |
Trust Owner has been the sole owner of the Trust Certificate. The Trust Certificate must at all times be held by either the Trust Owner or its transferee as sole owner. |
|
(b) |
No transfer of the Trust Certificate or beneficial interest therein shall be made unless such transfer is made in a transaction which does not require registration or qualification under the Securities Act or qualification under any state securities or “Blue Sky” laws. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall effect the registration of any transfer of the Trust Certificate or beneficial interest therein unless (i) prior to such transfer, the Owner Trustee shall have received a tax opinion, substantially similar to, and covering the same issues as, the tax opinion rendered on the Closing Date and that there will be no adverse federal income tax consequences to the Trust or the Noteholders as a result of the transfer, and (ii) the transferee, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate or beneficial interest in a Trust Certificate, covenants and agrees that such transferee will not at any time institute against the Trust or the Depositor, or join in any institution against the Trust or the Depositor any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Trust Certificate, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and (iii) following such transfer, there would be no more than one holder of the Trust Certificate or beneficial interest therein and the holder of the Trust Certificate or beneficial interest therein would not be a Foreign Person, a partnership, S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. |
The Trust Certificate, which shall represent only legal ownership of the Trust and shall not represent any economic interest in the Trust, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto. The Original Trust Certificate was previously executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee and was deemed to have been validly issued when so executed. On the Amendment Closing Date, the Trust Owner shall exchange the Previous Trust Certificate for the Trust Certificate. The Trust Certificate shall be executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee and shall be deemed to have been validly issued when so executed. The Trust Certificate bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Owner Trustee shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of such Trust Certificate. The Trust Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.
Authentication and Delivery of Trust Certificate.The Owner Trustee previously, on May 19, 2017, caused to be authenticated and delivered upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the original Trust Certificate duly authenticated by the Owner Trustee, evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust, the Previous Trust Certificate. As indicated above in Section 3.02, on the Amendment Closing Date, the Trust Owner shall exchange the Previous Trust Certificate for the Trust Certificate. No Trust Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be vacated for any purpose, unless there appears on such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in the form of Trust Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, executed by the Owner Trustee or its authenticating agent, by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Trust Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and
11
KL2 3304888.6
the only evidence, that such Trust Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Upon (a) the issuance, authorization and delivery of the Trust Certificate as provided herein, and (b) the exchange of the Previous Trust Certificate for the Trust Certificate as provided herein, the Trust Certificate will be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.
|
(a) |
The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, a Certificate Register, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe. The Certificate Register shall provide for the registration of Trust Certificate and transfers and exchanges of the Trust Certificate as provided herein. The Owner Trustee is hereby appointed “Certificate Registrar” for the purpose of registering the Trust Certificate and transfers and exchanges of the Previous Trust Certificate and the Trust Certificate as herein provided. In the event that, subsequent to the Amendment Closing Date, the Owner Trustee notifies the Servicer that it is unable to act as Certificate Registrar, the Servicer shall appoint another bank or trust company, having an office or agency located in the State of Delaware, agreeing to act in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it, and otherwise acceptable to the Owner Trustee, to act as successor Certificate Registrar hereunder. |
|

The Residual Interest Certificate shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto. The Original Residual Interest Certificate was previously executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee and deemed to have been validly issued when so executed. On the Amendment Closing Date, the Depositor shall exchange the Previous Residual Interest Certificate for the Residual Interest Certificate. The Residual Interest Certificate shall be executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee and shall be deemed to have been validly issued when so executed.

form set forth in the form of Residual Interest Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit B-2, executed by the Owner Trustee or its authenticating agent, by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Residual Interest Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Residual Interest Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Upon (a) the issuance, authorization and delivery of the Residual Interest Certificate as provided herein, and (b) the exchange of the Previous Residual Interest Certificate for the Residual Interest Certificate as provided herein, the Residual Interest Certificate will be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

The Certificate Register shall provide for the registration of the Residual Interest Certificate and transfers and exchanges of the Residual Interest Certificate as provided herein.

Appointment of Trust Paying Agent.The Trust Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Residual Interest Owner pursuant to Section 5.02(a) hereof and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee.

15
KL2 3304888.6

The Trust Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Trust Paying Agent, such Trust Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee.

|
(a) |
the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Trust (except claims or lawsuits brought in connection with the collection of the Timeshare Loans) and the compromise of any action, claim or lawsuit brought by or against the Trust (except with respect to claims or lawsuits for collection of the assets comprising the Trust Estate); |

The Trust Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Residual Interest Owner sufficient funds for the payment of tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to the Residual Interest Owner shall be treated as cash distributed to such Residual Interest Owner at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement or another Transaction Document to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee or the Trust under any Transaction Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement.
|

|
(b) |
Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Transaction Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any other Transaction Documents or is otherwise contrary to law. |
|
(c) |
Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Trust Owner and the Residual Interest Owner requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Trust Owner and the Residual Interest Owner received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person.

|
(d) |
In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the applicability of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or incomplete as
19 KL2 3304888.6 |
to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Residual Interest Owner requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee, in good faith, acts or refrains from acting in accordance with any such instruction received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Trust Owner and the Residual Interest Owner, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction. |
|
(e) |
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will (i) require the registration with, licensing by or the taking of any other similar action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware by or with respect to the Owner Trustee; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or an political subdivisions thereof in existence on the date hereof other than the State of Delaware being payable by the Owner Trustee; or (iii) subject the Owner Trustee 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 Owner Trustee contemplated in this Agreement.

The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any Commission filing for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust Estate.

Owner Trustee Not Liable for Trust Certificate, Residual Interest Certificate, Notes or Timeshare Loans.The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Certificate and the Residual Interest Certificate (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee and the certificate of authentication on such Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and neither the Owner Trustee nor the Trust Owner assumes responsibility for the correctness thereof.

The Owner Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of the Certificates or Notes and may deal with the Depositor, the Trust Owner, the Residual Interest Owner, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer in banking transactions with the same rights as it would have if it were not Owner Trustee.
Owner Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.The Owner Trustee shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as are provided for and paid pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Indenture. Additionally, in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for its other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses hereunder, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, representatives, experts and counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ in connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and its duties hereunder. The Owner Trustee’s right to enforce such obligations shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.08 hereof.
Indemnification.The Depositor shall be liable as primary obligor for, and shall indemnify the Trust Company and its successors, assigns and servants (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, taxes, claims, actions and suits, and any and all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, “Expenses”) which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Owner Trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Trust Estate, the administration of the Trust Estate or the action or inaction of the Owner Trustee hereunder, except only that the Depositor shall not be liable for or required to indemnify an Indemnified Party from and against Expenses arising or resulting from the Owner Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence or any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 7.03 hereof expressly made by the Owner Trustee.

After satisfaction of liabilities of the Trust as provided by applicable law, any money or other property held as part of the Trust Estate following such distribution shall be distributed to the Trust Owner. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, termination, death or incapacity of the Trust Owner shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or annul, dissolve or terminate the Trust, or (y) entitle the Trust Owner’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Trust or Trust Estate or (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto. |
|
(b) |
Except as provided in Section 9.0l(a) hereof, neither the Depositor nor any Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Trust. |

Upon presentation and surrender of the Residual Interest Certificates, the Trust Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to the Residual Interest Owner amounts distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof. |
|
(d) |
In the event that the Residual Interest Owner shall not surrender its Residual Interest Certificate for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice to such Residual Interest Owner to surrender its Residual Interest Certificate for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice the Residual Interest Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the Residual Interest Owner concerning surrender of its Residual Interest Certificate, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining
25 KL2 3304888.6 |
in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Owner Trustee to the Depositor. |

The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute; authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities; and having (or having a parent that has) a rating of at least Baa3 by Moody’s. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 10.01, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Any Person meeting the requirements for an owner trustee under this Section 10.01 is referred to herein as “Eligible Owner Trustee”. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.02 hereof.
Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee.The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving 30 days prior written notice thereof to the Depositor and the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee, which successor shall be an Eligible Owner Trustee, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee which shall be an Eligible Owner Trustee.
If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Trust Owner, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Indenture Trustee, may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Indenture Trustee shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee which shall be an Eligible Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
26
KL2 3304888.6
instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee, and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.
Successor Owner Trustee.Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor, and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Depositor, Indenture Trustee and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be an Eligible Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice thereof to the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Funding Agents and the Noteholders. If the Depositor shall fail to mail such notice within ten Business Days after acceptance of such appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.
Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee.Any corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof.
Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Owner Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of
27
KL2 3304888.6
this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
|
(a) |
all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee; |
|
(b) |
no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any such act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and |
|
(c) |
the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. |
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article X. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Funding Agents.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts hall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor co-trustee or separate trustee.

Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Depositor shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent, together with a copy thereof, to the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor and the Funding Agents.

The Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate of the Trust Owner to the effect that the conditions to amendment have been satisfied.
