Appointment of Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee or Custodian (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of every Class of Certificates shall have the power from time to time to appoint one or more Persons, approved by the Trustee, to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal place of business where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the Trustee has been advised by the Master Servicer that such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in which any portion of the Trust Fund is located. The separate Trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of all the Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee. The obligation of the Master Servicer to make Advances pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof shall not be affected or assigned by the appointment of a co-trustee.
Appointment of Co-Trustee It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the law of the relevant state) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section are adopted to these ends. In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and only to the extent that the Trustee by the laws of any jurisdiction (including particularly the relevant state) is incapable of exercising such powers, rights and remedies and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. No Trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other Trustee hereunder, nor will the act or omission of any Trustee hereunder be imputed to any other Trustee. Should any instrument in writing from the Company be required by the separate or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company at the expense of the Company; provided, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Company does not execute any such instrument within 15 days after a request therefor, the Trustee shall be empowered as an attorney-in-fact for the Company to execute any such instrument in the Company’s name and stead. In case any separate or co-trustee or a successor to either shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate or co-trustee.
Trustee Liens The Trustee in its individual capacity agrees, in addition to the agreements contained in Section 7.17 of the Basic Agreement, that it will at its own cost and expense promptly take any action as may be necessary to duly discharge and satisfy in full any Trustee’s Liens on or with respect to the Trust Property which is attributable to the Trustee in its individual capacity and which is unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement or the NPA.
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 Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08. Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
Trustee Access The Master Servicer shall afford the Company and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer, in respect of the Mortgage Loans and in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to such of its officers as are responsible for such obligations. Upon reasonable request, the Master Servicer, shall furnish the Company and the Trustee with its most recent financial statements (or, for so long as the Company is the Master Servicer, the most recent consolidated financial statements for the Company appearing in the audited financial statements of Washington Mutual, Inc., or the entity with whose financial statements the financial statements of the Company are consolidated) and such other information as it possesses, and which it is not prohibited by law or, to the extent applicable, binding obligations to third parties with respect to confidentiality from disclosing, regarding its business, affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise.
Resignation and Removal of Trustee and the Securities Administrator (a) Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving 60 days’ written notice thereof to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor will promptly appoint a successor trustee or a successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or resigning Securities Administrator, as applicable, one copy to the successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, and one copy to the Master Servicer. If no successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or resigning Securities Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable. In the case of any such resignation by the Securities Administrator, if no successor securities administrator shall have been appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 60 days after the Securities Administrator ceases to be the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 6.06, then the Trustee shall perform the duties of the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement and shall be entitled to the fees of the Securities Administrator for so long as the Trustee performs such duties; provided, however, that the Trustee may engage a qualified entity to perform the duties of the Securities Administrator under Sections 6.21, 6.22, 6.23, 6.24 and 11.16 of this Agreement. The successor trustee shall notify each Rating Agency through the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, the Servicers, the Servicing Administrator and the Master Servicer of any change of Trustee and the successor securities administrator shall notify each Rating Agency through the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, the Servicers, the Servicing Administrator and the Master Servicer of any change of Securities Administrator.
Trustee Action The exercise by the Trustees of their powers and discretion hereunder in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances then prevailing shall be binding upon everyone interested. Subject to the provisions of Article IV, the Trustees shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law.
Resignation and Removal of Trustee and Securities Administrator The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time resign (including, in the case of the Securities Administrator, in connection with the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer) and be discharged from the Trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator (or the Trustee, if the Securities Administrator resigns) and the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the resigning trustee or securities administrator, as applicable, and the successor trustee or securities administrator, as applicable. If no successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or securities administrator. If at any time (i) the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or (iii)(A) a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund is located, (B) the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee or securities administrator and (C) the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable fails to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer may remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in multiple copies, a copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, each Master Servicer and the successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable. The Holders evidencing at least 51% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Certificates may at any time remove the Trustee or Securities Administrator and appoint a successor trustee or securities administrator by written instrument or instruments, in multiple copies, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor trustee or successor securities administrator to each of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or Securities Administrator so removed and the successor trustee or securities administrator so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee or Securities Administrator shall be given to each Rating Agency by the Trustee or successor trustee. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or Securities Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or securities administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 10.08 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or securities administrator as provided in Section 10.09 hereof.
Appointment of Separate Trustee or Co Trustee (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property or any Financed Vehicle may be located, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly will have the power and will execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as a separate trustee or as separate trustees, or as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, of all or any part of the Issuer, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Property, or any part thereof, and, subject to this Section 9.5, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Owner Trustee consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator has not joined in such appointment within 15 Business Days of its receipt of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee will have the power to make such appointment. No separate trustee or co-trustee under this Agreement will be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 and no notice of the appointment of any separate trustee or co-trustee is required.
Duties of Trustee and the Securities Administrator (a) The Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, and the Securities Administrator each undertake to perform their respective duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Any permissive right of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator provided for in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be. If an Event of Default has occurred and has not otherwise been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.
