ARTICLE III

Trust Certificate and Transfer of Interests

SECTION 3.01.

Initial Beneficial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the issuance of the Trust Certificate, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficial owner of the Trust. The Depositor hereby names KBNA as its designated Affiliate and hereby directs the Owner Trustee to issue the Trust Certificate in KBNA’s name. After the issuance of the Trust Certificate, KBNA, as the initial Certificateholder will be the sole beneficial owner of the Trust.

SECTION 3.02.

The Trust Certificate. The Trust Certificate shall be issued as a single, physical, full registered certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto and shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, upon the order of the Depositor to the Owner Trustee concurrently with the initial sale and assignment to the Trust of the Financed Student Loans. The Trust Certificate shall represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the assets of the Trust, subject to the debt represented by the Notes. The initial Trust Certificate and each Trust Certificate issued in exchange or upon transfer therefor shall be manually executed by an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee. Any Trust Certificate bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be valid and binding obligations of the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have 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 authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificate. The initial holder of the Trust Certificate shall be the Depositor or its designated Affiliate.

A transferee of the Trust Certificate shall be the “holder of the Trust Certificate” for all purposes hereunder, and shall be entitled to the rights and be subject to the obligations of the holder of the Trust Certificate hereunder, upon such transferee’s acceptance of the Trust Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.04 below.

SECTION 3.03.

Authentication of Trust Certificate. Concurrently with the initial sale of the Financed Student Loans to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Trust Certificate to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered without further action by the Depositor. No Trust Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Trust Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as the Trust’s authenticating agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Trust Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Each Trust Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication. After the initial issuance of the Trust Certificate as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.03, no further Trust Certificate shall be issued except pursuant to Section 3.04, 3.05 or 3.10 hereunder.

SECTION 3.04.

Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of the Trust Certificate and of transfers and exchanges of the Trust Certificate as herein provided. The Owner Trustee shall be the initial Certificate Registrar.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Trust Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as the Trust’s authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Trust Certificate dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. At any one time, only one Trust Certificate, representing 100% of all the Trust Certificates, shall be issued and outstanding, and there shall be only a single beneficial owner of such Trust Certificate, who also shall be the holder of such Trust Certificate.

Every Trust Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder of the Trust Certificate or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Certificate Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in Security Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Certificate Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act. Each Trust Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Trust Certificate, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of a Trust Certificate.

The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to make and the Certificate Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of a Trust Certificate for a period of five Business Days preceding any Distribution Date with respect to such Trust Certificate.

SECTION 3.05.

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Certificate. If (a) any mutilated Trust Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Certificate, and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a new Trust Certificate. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 3.06.

Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Trust Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any thereof may treat the Person in whose name any Trust Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of any thereof shall be bound by any notice to the contrary. Initially, the Certificate Registrar shall register the Depositor as the sole holder of the Trust Certificate in the Certificate Register.

SECTION 3.07.

[Reserved].

SECTION 3.08.

Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trustee shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trust in respect of the Trust Certificate and the other Basic Documents may be served. The Trust initially designates as its New York office the Authenticating Agent’s office located at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Administrator, the Depositor and to the holder of the Trust Certificate (if different) of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

SECTION 3.09.

Appointment of Certificate Paying Agent. The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to the holder of the Trust Certificate from the amounts received from the Indenture Trustee out of the Trust Accounts pursuant to Section 5.01 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee. Any Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to receive such funds from the Indenture Trustee for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent, if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. The Certificate Paying Agent shall initially be Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Owner Trustee, and acceptable to the Administrator (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrator. In the event that Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent, it shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by it to execute and deliver to it an instrument in which such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with it that as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the holder of the Trust Certificate in trust for the benefit of the holder of the Trust Certificate entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such holder of the Trust Certificate. The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas. The provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05 and 8.01 shall apply to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas also in its role as Certificate Paying Agent, for so long as it shall act as Certificate Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Trust Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

SECTION 3.10.

Restrictions on Transfers of the Trust Certificate. (a) The Trust Certificate may be transferred by the Depositor or its designated Affiliate to any other Affiliate thereof, without any requirement to provide any officer’s certificates or legal opinions that would otherwise be required if such proposed transfer was being made to a Person who is not an Affiliate of the Depositor or its designated Affiliate.

(b)

Except as provided above, the Trust Certificate shall not be sold, pledged, transferred or assigned except as provided below.

(i)

The Trust Certificate has not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities law. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Trust Certificate or any interest therein shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Owner Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, that the prospective transferor and transferee each certify to the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, in writing the facts surrounding the transfer. Such certifications shall be substantially in the forms of Exhibits B and C-1 or C-2 hereto, respectively. In the event that such a transfer is to be made within two years from the date of the initial issuance of the Trust Certificate pursuant hereto (other than a transfer as to which the proposed transferee has provided a certificate in the form of Exhibit C-2), the Owner Trustee in its sole discretion, may require that there shall also be delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, at the expense of the transferor, an opinion of counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Any such opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor. None of the Depositor, the Administrator nor the Owner Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Trust Certificate under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of the Trust Certificate without registration or qualification. Any such holder of the Trust Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.

(ii)

No transfer of the Trust Certificate will be registered by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar unless the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor receives a representation from the proposed transferee of the Trust Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 or C-2, as the case may be, that such transferee is not acquiring the Trust Certificate directly or indirectly for, on behalf of or with the assets of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Benefit Plan”). If any proposed transferee shall become a holder of the Trust Certificate in violation of these provisions, then the last preceding permitted transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as holder of the Trust Certificate, retroactive to the date of registration of such transfer of the Trust Certificate. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any liability to any person for any registration or transfer of the Trust Certificate that is not permitted or for making any payments due on the Trust Certificate to the holder or taking any other action with respect to such holder under this Agreement. Any proposed transferee who becomes a holder of the Trust Certificate shall agree to indemnify the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor against any loss, damage or penalty incurred as a result of the transfer of the Trust Certificate to such purposed transferee in violation of such restrictions.

(iii)

The prospective transferee shall be aware that the Trust Certificate shall bear legends referring to the restrictions contained in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) above and by its acceptance of the Trust Certificate agrees to abide by such restrictions.

(iv)

The prospective transferee shall deliver an opinion of counsel addressed to the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, to the effect that, (A) as a matter of Federal income tax law, such prospective transferee is permitted to accept the transfer of the Trust Certificate, (B) such transfer or pledge would not jeopardize the tax treatment of the Trust, (C) such transfer or pledge would not subject the Trust to an entity-level tax, (D) such transfer or pledge would not jeopardize the status of the Notes as debt for all purposes, and (E) such pledge or transfer would not cause the Trust to be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.

(v)

No pledge or transfer of the Trust Certificate shall be effective unless such purchase or transfer is to a single beneficial owner who shall be the registered holder of the Trust Certificate.

ARTICLE IV

Application of Trust Funds. (a) On each Distribution Date and Redemption Date, the Certificate Paying Agent will distribute (or authorize the distribution of) to the holder of the Trust Certificate, amounts payable to the Certificateholder pursuant to Section 5.05(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or Sections 5.04(b) or 5.04(c) of the Indenture, as applicable, on such Distribution Date and Redemption Date.

(b)

On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Paying Agent shall send to the holder of the Trust Certificate a copy of the statement sent to the Noteholders and provided to the Owner Trustee by the Administrator pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement on such Distribution Date.

(c)

In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of income) to a holder of the Trust Certificate, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such holder in accordance with this Section. The Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent are hereby authorized and directed to retain (or direct the retention) from amounts otherwise distributable to the holder of the Trust Certificate sufficient funds for the payment of any 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 a holder of the Trust Certificate shall be treated as cash distributed to such holder of the Trust Certificate at the time it is withheld by the Trust to be remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S. holder of the Trust Certificate), the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent in their sole discretion may (but unless otherwise required by law shall not be obligated to) withhold or direct the withholding of such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (c). In the event that a holder of the Trust Certificate wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such holder in making such claim so long as such holder of the Trust Certificate agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

SECTION 5.02.

Method of Payment. Subject to Section 9.01(c), distributions required to be made to the holder of the Trust Certificate on any Distribution Date and Redemption Date shall be made to each such holder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such holder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions signed by two authorized officers, if any, at least five Business Days prior to such Distribution Date and Redemption Date or, if not, by check mailed to such holder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register; provided, however, that if the Administrator or its affiliate is the Certificateholder, then any amounts to be distributed to the Certificateholder shall be released (and the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent each hereby authorizes such release) directly from the applicable Collection Account to the Administrator, in accordance with Section 5.05(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in respect of any Trust Certificate will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Trust Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Owner Trustee or such other location specified in writing to the holder thereof.

SECTION 5.03.

No Segregation of Moneys; No Interest. Subject to Section 5.01, moneys received by the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent hereunder need not be segregated in any manner, except to the extent required by law or the Sale and Servicing Agreement and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent shall not be liable for any interest thereon.

SECTION 5.04.

Accounting and Reports to the Noteholders, Certificateholder, the Internal Revenue Service and Others. The Owner Trustee shall deliver to the holder of the Trust Certificate such information, reports or statements as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations and as may be required to enable the holder of the Trust Certificate to prepare its Federal and state income tax returns. Consistent with the Trust’s characterization for tax purposes as a disregarded entity, no Federal income tax return shall be filed on behalf of the Trust unless either (a) the Trust, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, KBNA, the Depositor and, if different, the holder of the Trust Certificate receives an opinion of counsel based on a change in applicable law occurring after the date hereof that the Code requires such a filing, or (b) the Internal Revenue Service shall determine that the Trust is required to file such a return. In the event that the Trust is required to file tax returns, the Trust shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include in income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to the Financed Student Loans. The Owner Trustee shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared any tax returns required to be filed by the Trust and shall remit such returns to the holder of the Trust Certificate at least five days before such returns are due to be filed. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.05, the holder of the Trust Certificate, or any other such party required by law, shall promptly sign such returns and deliver such returns after signature to the Owner Trustee and such returns shall be filed by, or at the direction of, the Owner Trustee with the appropriate tax authorities. In no event shall the holder of the Trust Certificate, the Depositor or KBNA be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust arising out of the application of any tax law, including federal, state, foreign or local income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest, penalty or addition with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith), except for any such liability, cost or expense attributable to the holder of the Trust Certificate’s, the Depositor’s or KBNA’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 5.05.

Signature on Returns; Tax Matters Partner. The Owner Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust the tax returns of the Trust, unless applicable law requires the holder of the Trust Certificate, the Depositor or KBNA to sign such documents, in which case such documents shall be signed by the holder of the Trust Certificate, the Depositor or KBNA.

(d)

If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and 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, provided, however, that such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment of any such successor shall in no event relieve the resigning Owner Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under the Basic Documents until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment.

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01 or the requirements of Section 3807(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act) and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time an Insolvency Event with respect to the Owner Trustee shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Administrator may remove the 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 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 10.03.

Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee, appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Trust 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 Trust 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, statements, moneys and properties held by it under this Trust Agreement; and the Administrator 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 eligible pursuant to Section 10.01 or Section 3807(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to the holder of the Trust Certificate, the Indenture Trustee, all holders of the Notes and the Rating Agencies. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator.

SECTION 10.04.

If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 10.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.03.

Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i)

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 or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

(ii)

no trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Trust Agreement; and

(iii)

the Administrator and 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 Trust Agreement and the conditions of this Article. 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 Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Trust 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 Administrator.

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 Trust 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 its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
