Section 2.2 Office. The office of the Grantor Trust shall be in care of the Grantor Trust Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or at such other address as the Grantor Trust Trustee may designate by written notice to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, the Grantor Trust Seller and the Depositor.

(vii) to engage in those activities, including entering into agreements, that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith.

The Grantor Trust Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Grantor Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Grantor Trust under the Transaction Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that (i) the Grantor Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that this Grantor Trust Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust and (ii) solely for income and franchise tax purposes, the Grantor Trust will be a grantor trust. Unless otherwise required by the appropriate tax authorities, the Grantor Trust shall file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust. The parties further agree, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities or by law, not to take any action or, direct any other party to take any action, inconsistent therewith, including, but not limited to, modifying, or directing any other party to modify, the terms of a Receivable unless the modification is a Permitted Modification.

Effective as of the date hereof, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and in the Statutory Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Grantor Trust. The parties have caused the filing of the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State.

Section 2.7 Liability of Certificateholders. The Grantor Trust Certificateholders shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Section 2.8 Title to Grantor Trust Property. Legal title to the entirety of the Grantor Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Grantor Trust as a separate legal entity, except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Grantor Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the Grantor Trust Trustee, a co-trustee or a separate trustee, as the case may be; provided, that concurrently with or prior to title being deemed to be vested in a co-trustee or a separate trustee, such trustee must provide a written grant of a security interest in the Grantor Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee and must authorize the filing of a financing statement to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest.

(i) the Grantor Trust Seller has been duly organized and is validly existing as a statutory trust in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has the power, authority and legal right to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is currently conducted, and has the power, authority and legal right to acquire, own and sell the Receivables;

(ii) the Grantor Trust Seller has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses and approvals would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Grantor Trust Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Grantor Trust Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents to which the Grantor Trust Seller is a party, the Receivables, the Notes or the Certificates;

 

4

(iv) the execution, delivery and performance by the Grantor Trust Seller of this Grantor Trust Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Grantor Trust Seller is a party, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof will not conflict with, result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under the certificate of trust of the Grantor Trust Seller or this Grantor Trust Agreement or any material indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Grantor Trust Seller is a party or by which the Grantor Trust Seller is bound or to which any of its properties are subject, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument (other than pursuant to this Grantor Trust Agreement), or violate any law, order, rule or regulation applicable to the Grantor Trust Seller or its properties of any federal or State regulatory body, court, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Grantor Trust Seller or any of its properties; and

Section 2.11 Federal Income Tax Matters. The Grantor Trust Certificateholders acknowledge that it is their intent and that they understand it is the intent of the Grantor Trust Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer that, for purposes of federal income, State and local income and franchise tax and any other income taxes, the Grantor Trust will be treated as a grantor trust.

ARTICLE III

CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

Section 3.1 Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Grantor Trust and until the issuance of the Grantor Trust Certificates, the Grantor Trust Seller shall be the sole beneficiary of the Grantor Trust, and upon the issuance of the Grantor Trust Certificates, the Grantor Trust Seller will no longer be a beneficiary of the Grantor Trust, except to the extent that the Grantor Trust Seller is a Certificateholder.

Section 3.2 Authorization of the Grantor Trust Certificates. On the date hereof, the Grantor Trust Trustee, at the direction of the Grantor Trust Seller, shall execute and deliver and the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall authenticate, in definitive form, a single Grantor Trust Certificate. The Grantor Trust Certificates shall in the aggregate represent 100% of the Grantor Trust Percentage Interest in the Grantor Trust and shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

Section 3.3 Registration of Grantor Trust Certificates; Transfer and Exchange of Grantor Trust Certificates.

(a) The Grantor Trust Trustee initially shall be the registrar (the “Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Grantor Trust Certificates and Transfers of Grantor Trust Certificates as herein provided. The Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section [3.7], a register (the “Grantor Trust Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Grantor Trust Certificates and the registration of Transfers of Grantor Trust Certificates. Upon any resignation of any Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall, upon receipt of written instructions from the Grantor Trust Seller, promptly appoint a successor. For the avoidance of doubt, a Grantor Trust Certificate is not negotiable, and the records maintained by the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar in the Grantor Trust Certificate Register with respect to each Grantor Trust Certificate and its related registered owner are intended to cause the Grantor Trust Certificates to be issued in registered form, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14 (and any successor provisions), and shall record the Grantor Trust Percentage Interest evidenced by each Grantor Trust Certificate. The entries in the Grantor Trust Certificate Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the sole Grantor Trust Certificateholder shall be the Grantor Trust Seller. Subject to the foregoing, a Grantor Trust Certificateholder may assign, convey or otherwise transfer all or any of its right, title and interest in the related Grantor Trust Certificate, subject to the restrictions set forth herein.

(c) By accepting and holding a Grantor Trust Certificate, the holder thereof (and, if the holder is a Plan, its fiduciary) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not, and is not acquiring and will not hold the Grantor Trust Certificate on behalf of or with any assets of, a Benefit Plan Investor or Plan that is subject to Similar Law. Subject to the transfer restrictions contained herein and in the Grantor Trust Certificate, each Grantor Trust Certificateholder may transfer all or any portion of the Grantor Trust Percentage Interest evidenced by such Grantor Trust Certificate upon delivery to the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar of the

 

6


documents required by this Section [3.3]. Such transfer may be made by a registered Grantor Trust Certificateholder in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing upon surrender of such Grantor Trust Certificate to the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar accompanied by any documentation as may be required by the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar or the Grantor Trust Trustee, including without limitation to comply with applicable law. Promptly upon the receipt of such documents and receipt by the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar of the transferor’s Grantor Trust Certificate, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall record the name of such transferee as a Grantor Trust Certificateholder and its Grantor Trust Percentage Interest in the Grantor Trust Certificate Register, and the Grantor Trust Trustee shall execute and the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to such Grantor Trust Certificateholder a Grantor Trust Certificate evidencing such Grantor Trust Percentage Interest. In the event a transferor transfers only a portion of its Grantor Trust Percentage Interest, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall execute, and the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall register, authenticate and deliver to such transferor, a new Grantor Trust Certificate evidencing such transferor’s new Grantor Trust Percentage Interest. Subsequent to a transfer and upon the issuance of a new Grantor Trust Certificate or Grantor Trust Certificates, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall cancel and destroy the Grantor Trust Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such transfer. Unless otherwise provided under applicable law, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Grantor Trust Certificate is registered as the sole owner of the beneficial interest in the Grantor Trust evidenced by such Grantor Trust Certificate, without regard to any notice to the contrary.

(d) The Grantor Trust Certificateholder represents and warrants that it is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and the Administrator agrees to provide the Grantor Trust Trustee and any relevant intermediary with a correct, complete and properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) for the Grantor Trust Certificateholder.

(e) Each Grantor Trust Certificateholder shall deliver Tax Information to the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Administrator on or prior to the date on which such Grantor Trust Certificateholder becomes a Grantor Trust Certificateholder under this Agreement and from time to time thereafter if such Tax Information becomes incorrect or obsolete, as otherwise prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Administrator.

(f) If (1) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any Grantor Trust Certificate or interest therein was consummated in compliance with the provisions of this Section [3.3] on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from the transferor or purported transferee, or (2) the Grantor Trust Certificateholder of any Grantor Trust Certificate or interest therein is in material breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any Grantor Trust Certificate or any deemed representation or agreement of such Grantor Trust Certificateholder, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar, upon actual knowledge of such circumstances, will not register such attempted or purported transfer and, if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall not operate to transfer any rights to the purported transferee (such purported transferee, a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding Grantor Trust Certificateholder of such Grantor Trust Certificateholder that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Grantor Trust Certificateholder thereof retroactively to the date of the purported transfer of such Grantor Trust Certificate by such Grantor Trust Certificateholder.

Section 3.4 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

(a) If (i) any mutilated Grantor Trust Certificate is surrendered to the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar, or the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Grantor Trust Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar and the Grantor Trust Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of the Grantor Trust, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar and the Grantor Trust Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Grantor Trust, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar or the Grantor Trust Trustee that such Grantor Trust Certificate has been acquired by a “protected purchaser” (as defined in the Relevant UCC), the Grantor Trust Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Grantor Trust and the Grantor Trust Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for, or in lieu of, any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Grantor Trust Certificate, as the case may be, a replacement Grantor Trust Certificate, as the case may be, of like tenor and Grantor Trust Percentage Interest. If, after the delivery of such replacement Grantor Trust Certificate or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Grantor Trust Certificate pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a “protected purchaser” (as defined in the Relevant UCC) of the original Grantor Trust Certificate in lieu of which such replacement Grantor Trust Certificate was issued presents for payment such original Grantor Trust Certificate, the Grantor Trust and the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Grantor Trust Certificate (or such payment) from the Person to whom such replacement Grantor Trust Certificate was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Grantor Trust Certificate from such Person to whom such replacement Grantor Trust Certificate was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a “protected purchaser” (as defined in the Relevant UCC), and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Grantor Trust or the Grantor Trust Trustee in connection therewith.

(b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Grantor Trust Certificate under this Section [3.4], the Grantor Trust may require the payment by such Grantor Trust Certificateholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with such issuance and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Grantor Trust Trustee) related thereto.

(c) Every replacement Grantor Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section [3.4] in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Grantor Trust Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Grantor Trust, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Grantor Trust Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Grantor Trust Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Grantor Trust Certificates duly issued hereunder.

(d) The provisions of this Section [3.4] are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Grantor Trust Certificates.

Section 3.5 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Grantor Trust Certificate for registration of transfer, the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name such Grantor Trust Certificate is registered in the Grantor Trust Certificate Register (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Grantor Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section [5.1] and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

Section 3.6 Access to List of Grantor Trust Certificateholders Names and Addresses. The Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer and the Grantor Trust Seller, or to the Grantor Trust Trustee, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Servicer, the Grantor Trust Seller or the Grantor Trust Trustee, as the case may be, a list, in such form as the requesting party may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date.

Section 3.7 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall maintain in Wilmington, Delaware, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Grantor Trust Certificates may be surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar in respect of the Grantor Trust Certificates and the Transaction Documents may be served. The Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Grantor Trust Seller, the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Grantor Trust Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar or any such office or agency.

ARTICLE IV

APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

Section 5.1 Application of Trust Funds. All collections derived from the assets of the Grantor Trust Estate or proceeds of the Grantor Trust Estate shall be treated as distributed by the Grantor Trust to the Grantor Trust Certificateholder by application and process of such collections and proceeds in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture by the parties identified therein as having responsibility therefor. Any bank account of the Grantor Trust shall constitute part of the Grantor Trust Estate. Funds on deposit, if any, in such account may only be held uninvested.

Section 5.2 Withholding. In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on any Grantor Trust payment (or any allocation of income) to a Grantor Trust Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Grantor Trust Certificateholder in accordance with this Section 5.2.

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 Grantor Trust Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Grantor Trust Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Grantor Trust and 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. Certificateholder), the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Grantor Trust Paying Agent may withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 5.2. If a Grantor Trust Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Grantor Trust Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Grantor Trust Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Grantor Trust Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

Section 5.3 No Segregation of Monies; No Interest. Subject to Section 5.2, monies received by the Grantor Trust Trustee hereunder need not be segregated in any manner except to the extent required by law, the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and the Grantor Trust Trustee shall not be liable for any interest thereon.

Section 5.4 Accounting and Reports to the Noteholders, Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue Service and Others. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall, based on information provided by the Grantor Trust Seller (or the Administrator on its behalf), (i) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Grantor Trust on the basis of a fiscal year ending on the last day of February and based on the accrual method of accounting., (ii) deliver to each Grantor Trust Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be required (including, if applicable, a trust return on IRS Form 1041, IRS Form 1099, or reporting for widely held fixed investment trusts under Treasury Regulations Section 1.671-5) to enable such Grantor Trust Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns, (iii) file such tax returns relating to the Grantor Trust and make such elections as may from time to time be required or appropriate under any applicable state or federal statute or rule or regulation thereunder so as to maintain the Grantor Trust’s characterization as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, (iv) cause such tax returns to be signed in the manner required by law and (v) collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with Section 5.2 with respect to income or distributions to Grantor Trust Certificateholders.

The Grantor Trust Trustee may satisfy its obligations with respect to this Section 5.4 by retaining, on behalf of the Grantor Trust[, at the expense of the Grantor Trust Seller,] a firm of independent public accountants (the “Accountants”) selected by the Administrator. The Grantor Trust Trustee, on behalf of the Grantor Trust, may require the Accountants to provide to the Grantor Trust Trustee, on or before [March 15], 20[_____], a letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Grantor Trust Trustee as to whether any federal tax withholding on Grantor Trust Certificates is then required and, if required, the procedures to be followed with respect thereto to comply with the requirements of the Code. The Accountants shall be required to update such letter in each instance that any additional tax withholding is subsequently required or any previously required tax withholding shall no longer be required. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4 upon its retention of the Accountants, and the Grantor Trust Trustee shall not have any liability with respect to the default or misconduct of the Accountants.

In addition to the foregoing, the Grantor Trust Trustee is authorized to take all actions required of the Grantor Trust pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The Grantor Trust Trustee is further authorized from time to time to take such action on behalf of the Grantor Trust as is permitted by the Transaction Documents and which the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, the Servicer or the Administrator recommends in writing with respect to the Transaction Documents, except to the extent that this Grantor Trust Agreement expressly requires the consent of Grantor Trust Certificateholders for such action.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged (or caused to be discharged) its duties and responsibilities hereunder to the extent the Administrator is required in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge such duty of the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Grantor Trust hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, and the Grantor Trust Trustee shall not be held liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

Section 6.6 Restrictions. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not take any action (i) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Grantor Trust set forth in Section 2.3 or (ii) that, to the actual knowledge of the Grantor Trust Trustee, would (A) affect the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes, or (B) cause the Grantor Trust or any portion thereof to fail to be treated as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes or to be taxable as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. The Grantor Trust Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Administrator and the Servicer shall not direct the Grantor Trust Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section 6.6. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall not have the power to acquire, purchase or invest any property or other assets of the Grantor Trust or take any other action to the extent such action would constitute a power under this Agreement to vary the investment of the Grantor Trust within the meaning of Section 301.7701-4(c) of the Treasury Regulations.

The Grantor Trust Trustee shall at all times (i) be a corporation or banking association satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute, (ii) be authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and be subject to supervision or examination by federal or State authorities and (iv) have (or have a parent that has) a long-term debt rating of investment grade by each of the Rating Agencies or otherwise be acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies. If such corporation or banking association 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 10.1 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or banking association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Grantor Trust Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.2.

Section 10.2 Resignation or Removal of Grantor Trust Trustee. The Grantor Trust Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Administrator and the Grantor Trust Seller. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Grantor Trust Trustee (acceptable to the Grantor Trust Seller) by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which

 

21


instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Grantor Trust Trustee and one copy to the successor Grantor Trust Trustee. If no successor Grantor Trust Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Grantor Trust Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Grantor Trust Trustee.

If at any time the Grantor Trust Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Grantor Trust Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Grantor Trust Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or the Grantor Trust Trustee shall otherwise become incapable of acting, then the Administrator shall remove the Grantor Trust Trustee. If the Administrator shall remove the Grantor Trust Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Grantor Trust Trustee (acceptable to the Grantor Trust Seller) by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the removed Grantor Trust Trustee and one copy to the successor Grantor Trust Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Grantor Trust Trustee and appointment of a successor Grantor Trust Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Grantor Trust Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Grantor Trust Trustee. The Administrator shall provide (or cause to be provided) notice of such resignation or removal of the Grantor Trust Trustee to the Depositor, the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies.

Section 10.3 Successor Grantor Trust Trustee. Any successor Grantor Trust Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Grantor Trust Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Grantor Trust Agreement, and thereupon, subject to the payment of all fees and expenses owed to the predecessor Grantor Trust Trustee, the resignation or removal of the predecessor Grantor Trust Trustee shall become effective and such successor Grantor Trust 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 Grantor Trust Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Grantor Trust Trustee. The predecessor Grantor Trust Trustee shall, upon payment of its fees and expenses, deliver to the successor Grantor Trust Trustee all documents, statements and monies held by it under this Grantor Trust Agreement, and the Administrator and the predecessor Grantor Trust 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 Grantor Trust Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Grantor Trust Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 10.3 unless, at the time of such acceptance, such successor Grantor Trust Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1.

 

22


Any successor Grantor Trust Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State reflecting the name and principal place of business of such successor in the State of Delaware.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Grantor Trust Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Administrator shall provide (or cause to be provided) notice of such appointment to all Grantor Trust Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Administrator shall fail to provide such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Grantor Trust Trustee, the successor Grantor Trust Trustee shall cause such notice to be provided at the expense of the Administrator.

Section 10.4 Merger or Consolidation of Grantor Trust Trustee.

(a) If the Grantor Trust Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association, without any further act except the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Trust, if required under the Statutory Trust Statute, shall be the successor Grantor Trust Trustee; provided, however, that such corporation or banking association must be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 10.1. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall provide the Administrator (who shall promptly forward to the Rating Agencies) with prior written notice of any such transaction.

(b) If at the time such successor or successors by consolidation, merger or conversion to the Grantor Trust Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Grantor Trust Agreement any of the Grantor Trust Certificates shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Grantor Trust Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Grantor Trust Certificates so authenticated, and in case at that time any of the Grantor Trust Certificates shall not have been authenticated, any such successor to the Grantor Trust Trustee may authenticate such Grantor Trust Certificates either in the name of any predecessor trustee or in the name of the successor to the Grantor Trust Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which the Grantor Trust Certificates or this Grantor Trust Agreement provide that the certificate of the Grantor Trust Trustee shall have.

Section 10.5 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Grantor Trust Agreement to the contrary, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Grantor Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Administrator and the Grantor Trust Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and may execute and deliver an instrument to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Grantor Trust Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Grantor Trust Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Grantor Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, such title to the Grantor Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.5, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Grantor Trust Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Grantor Trust

 

23


Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Grantor Trust Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 10.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 10.3.

(b) 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 Grantor Trust Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Grantor Trust Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee shall not be authorized to act separately without the Grantor Trust 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 Grantor Trust 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 Grantor 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 Grantor Trust Trustee;

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

(iii) the Administrator and the Grantor Trust Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Grantor Trust 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 Grantor Trust 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 Grantor Trust Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Grantor Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Grantor Trust Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Grantor Trust Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Grantor Trust Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Grantor Trust Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent permitted by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Grantor 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 of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Grantor Trust Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Section 11.17 FinCEN Compliance. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law, requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Person who opens an account. Accordingly, in order to comply with Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law, the Grantor Trust Trustee is required to obtain from time to time documentation to verify and record information that identifies each Person who opens an account. For a non-individual Person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, the Grantor Trust Trustee will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity, financial statements, licenses, tax identification documents, and identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity and other relevant documentation and information (including beneficial owners of such entities) reasonably required to comply with Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law. The Grantor Trust Trustee may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law, conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected and indemnified in relying on, any information received, and failure to provide any reasonably requested information may result in an inability of the Grantor Trust Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder which, at its sole option, may result in the immediate resignation of the Grantor Trust Trustee, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Grantor Trust Agreement. The CTA may require the Grantor Trust to file reports with FinCEN after the date of this Grantor Trust Agreement. It shall be the Depositor’s duty and not the Grantor Trust Trustee’s duty to cause the Grantor Trust to make such filings and to cause the Grantor Trust to comply with its obligations under the CTA, if any.

Further, the parties hereto agree that for purposes of Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law and the CTA, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Grantor Trust Certificateholders are the sole direct owners of the Grantor Trust, acknowledge that the Grantor Trust Trustee acts solely as a directed trustee at the direction of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, the Administrator or other instructing party as contemplated hereunder and that one or more senior officers or other individuals affiliated with the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, the Administrator or such other instructing party, are and shall deemed to be the persons with the power and authority to exercise substantial control over the Grantor Trust.
