 THE REGISTERED OWNERS 
  
 SECTION 3.1. Registration: Registration of Transfer of Beneficial Interests. 
  
 (a) The Trust shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office maintained pursuant to Section 2.10, a register or registers (the
“Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of the name and address of each of the beneficial interest holders of the Trust (each, a
“Registered Owner”, and collectively, the “Registered Owners”) and of transfers of such beneficial interests of the Trust as provided herein. The Owner Trustee shall be the initial registrar of the Register (the
“Registrar”). In the event that the Owner Trustee is not the Registrar and the Registrar resigns, the Owner Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Registrar.
Beneficial interests in the Trust shall be uncertificated, and the Transferor shall be the sole Registered Owner on the Closing Date. 
  
 (b) The Registered Owners may at any time, with the consent of the Control Party, sell, transfer, convey or assign in any manner their
respective rights to and interests in the Trust, provided that certain conditions are satisfied, including: (i) such action will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of the Notes, (ii) the Registered Owners provide to the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an opinion of independent counsel that such action will not cause the Trust to be treated as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, (iii) such
transferee or assignee agrees to take positions for tax purposes consistent with the tax positions agreed to be taken by the Registered Owners and (iv) the conditions set forth in Section 9.11 have been satisfied. In addition, no transfer of a
beneficial interest in the Trust shall be registered unless the transferee shall have provided to the Owner Trustee and the Registrar an opinion of counsel that in connection with such transfer no registration of the interest intended to be so
transferred is required under the Securities Act or applicable state law or that such transfer is otherwise being made in accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. 
  
 SECTION 3.2. Access to List of Names and Addresses of Registered Owners. The Registrar shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Servicer and the Transferor, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Registrar of a request therefor from the Servicer or the Transferor in writing, a list, in such form as the Servicer or the Transferor may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Registered Owners as of the most recent Record Date. Each Registered Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Servicer, the Transferor, the Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by
reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. 
  
 SECTION 3.3. Maintenance of Corporate Trust Office. The Owner Trustee shall maintain in Wilmington, Delaware, an office or offices or agency or
agencies where notices and 

  

 -6- 








 
demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Registered Owner and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates its
Corporate Trust Office as its principal office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Transferor and to the Registered Owners of any change in the location of the Register or any such office or agency.

  
 SECTION 3.4. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying
Agent shall make distributions to Registered Owners pursuant to Section 5.1 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines
in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Owner Trustee and any co-paying agent chosen by the Owner Trustee. The
Owner Trustee may resign as Paying Agent and appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee
to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall hold all
sums, if any, held by it for distribution to the Registered Owner in trust for the benefit of the Registered Owners entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Registered Owners. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the
Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Sections 6.3, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8 and 6.9 shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Paying
Agent, for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context
requires otherwise. 
  
 SECTION 3.5. Transferor as Registered
Owner. The Transferor in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of the beneficial interest and may otherwise deal with the Owner Trustee or its Affiliates as if it were not the Transferor.

 SECTION 4.4. Restrictions on Power of Registered Owners. The Registered Owners shall not direct
the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or would be contrary to Sections 2.3 or

 ARTICLE V 
 APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES 
  
 SECTION 5.1. Application of Trust Funds. 
  
 (a) On each Purchase Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Trust to borrow the maximum amount permitted under the Indenture and the Note
Purchase Agreement as of such Purchase Date and distribute all such amounts to the Registered Owners on a pro rata basis. 
  
 (b) On each Distribution Date, subject to the prior payment of all fees, expenses and indemnities due and unpaid, the Owner Trustee shall
(based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date) distribute to the Registered Owners, on a pro rata basis, amounts released to the Trust pursuant to the Indenture. 
  
 (c) On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall send
to each Registered Owner the statement described in Section 5.08(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Section 8.2 of the Indenture. 
  
 (d) If any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s distributions (or allocations of income) to a Registered Owner, such tax shall
reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Registered Owner in accordance with this Section 5.1. The Owner Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Registered Owners 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 Registered Owner shall be treated as cash distributed to such Registered Owner at the time it is withheld by the 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. Registered Owner), the Owner Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this
subsection 5.1(c). If a Registered Owner wishes to apply for a refund of 

  

 -9- 








 
any such withholding tax, the Owner Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Registered Owner in making such claim so long as such Registered Owner
agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. 
  
 SECTION 5.2. Method of Payment. Subject to Section 7.1(c), distributions required to be made to Registered Owners shall be made to each Registered Owner of record on the related Record Date (i) by wire
transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Registered Owner at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor or, where possible, by infra-bank book entry credit, if such Registered Owner shall have provided to
the Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Record Date and the distribution required to be made to such Registered Owner exceeds $100,000 or (ii) by check mailed to such Registered Owner at the
address of such Registered Owner appearing in the Register. 
  
 SECTION 5.3. Accounting and Reports to the Registered Owners, the Internal Revenue Service and Others. The Owner Trustee shall (a) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Trust on the basis of a fiscal year ending
December 31 on the accrual method of accounting, (b) deliver to each Registered Owner, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations or otherwise, such information as may be required to enable each Registered Owner to prepare
its federal income tax returns, (c) file such tax returns relating to the 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 Trust’s characterization as a division or branch of the Originator or as a grantor trust (as described in Section 671 of the Code) for federal income tax purposes, (d) cause such tax returns to be signed in the manner required by
law and (e) collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with subsection 5.1(c) with respect to income or distributions to Registered Owners. 
  
 SECTION 5.4. Signature on Returns. The Owner Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust any and all tax returns of the
Trust, unless applicable law requires a Registered Owner to sign such documents, in which case such documents shall be signed by the Transferor.

the Owner Trustee. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic Documents to the 

  

 -10- 








 
extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any
Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor the performance of the
Administrator. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities as Paying Agent hereunder to the extent the Owner Trustee has delegated such duties to a co-paying agent and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for
the default or failure of the co-paying agent to perform such duties. The Owner Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor the performance of any co-paying agent. 
  
 (d) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Owner Trustee may conclusively rely upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Owner Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement in determining the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions contained therein; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee
shall have examined such certificates or opinions so as to determine compliance of the same with the requirements of this Agreement.

 (i)
this subsection 6.1(e) shall not limit the effect of subsection 6.1(a) or (b):

 (g) The Owner Trustee shall not take any action that (i) is
inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.3 or (ii) would, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee, result in the Trust’s becoming taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

  
 (h) The Registered Owners shall not direct
the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section 6.1.

 SECTION 6.2. Rights of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and
deliver the Basic Documents and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party, in such form as the Transferor shall approve as evidenced conclusively by the
Owner Trustee’s execution thereof. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee is further authorized

any of the Registered Owners, unless such Registered Owner have offered to the Owner Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the Owner Trustee therein or thereby. The right
of the Owner Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or in any Basic Document shall not be construed as a duty, and the Owner Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct in
the performance of any such act. 
  
 SECTION 6.4. Action upon
Instruction by Registered Owners. 
  
 (a)
Subject to Section 4.4, the Registered Owners may by written instruction direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Registered Owners pursuant to Section 4.5.

  
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner
Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Basic 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 Basic Document 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 any Basic Document, 

  

 -13- 








 
or is unsure as to the application, intent, interpretation or meaning of any provision of this Agreement or the Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee shall
promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Registered Owners 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 such instruction received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instructions within ten (10) 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 which is consistent, in its view, with this Agreement or the Basic
Documents, and as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Registered Owners, and the Owner Trustee shall have no liability to any Person for any such action or inaction. 
  
 SECTION 6.5. Furnishing of Documents. The Owner Trustee shall furnish to the Registered Owners, promptly upon receipt
of a written request therefor, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial statements and any other instruments furnished to the Owner Trustee under the Basic Documents. 
  
 SECTION 6.6. Representations and Warranties of Owner Trustee. The
Owner Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Transferor, for the benefit of the Registered Owners, that:

incorporation. The eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.13 (a)-(c) are satisfied with respect to it.

or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority applicable to the Owner Trustee or any of its assets, (ii) shall not violate any provision of the corporate charter or by-laws of the Owner Trustee, or (iii) shall not violate any
Provision of, or constitute, with or without notice or lapse of time, a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any properties included in the Trust pursuant to the provisions of any mortgage, indenture, contract,
agreement or other undertaking to which it is a party, which violation, default or lien could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Owner Trustee’s performance or ability to perform its duties as Owner Trustee under
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. 
  
 (d) The execution, delivery and performance by the Owner Trustee of this Agreement shall not require the authorization, consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or registration with, or the taking
of any other action in respect of, any governmental authority or agency regulating the corporate trust activities of it. 
  

 -14- 








 (e) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Owner Trustee, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights in general and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
  
 SECTION 6.7. Reliance; Advice of Counsel. 
  
 (a) The Owner Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice,
resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and reasonably believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties and need not investigate any fact or
matter in any such document. The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any entity as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the
same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the chief executive officer, or
any vice president or by the treasurer or other authorized officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith in reliance thereon. 
  
 (b) In the
exercise or administration of the trusts hereunder and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement or the Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee: (i) may act directly or through its agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees
pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees if such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees shall have been
selected by the Owner Trustee with reasonable care; and (ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled professionals to be selected with reasonable care and employed by it. The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything done,
suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountants or other such Persons. 
  
 SECTION 6.8. Owner Trustee May Own Beneficial Interests and Notes. The Owner Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner
or pledgee of beneficial interests in the Trust or Notes and may deal with the Transferor, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer in transactions in the same manner as it would have if it were not the Owner Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 6.9. Compensation and Indemnity. The Owner Trustee shall

other reasonable expenses hereunder, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, custodians, nominees, 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 Servicer shall indemnify the Owner Trustee and its successors, assigns, agents and servants in accordance with the provisions 

  

 -15- 








 
of Section 8.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The compensation and indemnities described in this Section 6.9 shall survive the resignation or
termination of the Owner Trustee or the termination of this Agreement. Any amounts paid to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed not to be a part of the Owner Trust Estate immediately after such payment. 
  
 SECTION 6.10. Replacement of Owner Trustee.

resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by written notice thereof to the Administrator; provided that no such resignation shall become effective, and the Owner Trustee shall not resign, prior to the time set forth in Section 6.10(c).
The Administrator may appoint a successor Owner Trustee by delivering a written instrument, in duplicate, to the resigning Owner Trustee and the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted
appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice, the resigning Owner Trustee giving such notice may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall remove the
Owner Trustee if: 
  
 (i) the Owner Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Administrator; 
  
 (ii) the Owner Trustee shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 
  
 (iii) a receiver or other public officer shall be appointed or take charge or control of the Owner Trustee
or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; or 
  
 (iv) the Owner Trustee shall otherwise be incapable of acting. 
  
 (b) If the Owner Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Owner Trustee for any reason, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate (one copy of which 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. 
  
 (c) Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Section 6.10 shall not become effective and no such resignation shall be deemed to have occurred until a written acceptance of appointment is delivered by the successor Owner Trustee to the outgoing Owner Trustee and the Administrator, all fees and
expenses due to the outgoing Owner Trustee are paid and such successor Owner Trustee is reasonably acceptable to the Control Party. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be eligible to act in such capacity in
accordance with Section 6.13 and, following compliance with the preceding sentence, 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 Administrator shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies. 
  

 -16- 








 (d) 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. 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. 
  
 (e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.10, the Administrator shall mail notice of the
successor of such Owner Trustee to all Registered Owners, the Indenture Trustee, the Control Party, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. 
  
 SECTION 6.11. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 6.13, and without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided,
however, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies. 
  
 SECTION 6.12. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any
legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly 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 trustees, of all or any part of the Owner 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 this Section 6.12, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Owner 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 Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 6.13 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 6.10. 
  
 (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 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 

  

 -17- 








 
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, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee; 
  
 (ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any
other trustee under this Agreement (unless such other trustee acts or fails to act at the direction of such first trustee); 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. 
  
 (c) 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. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trust 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 Administrator. 
  
 (d) 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 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.

Section 6.13, 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. If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.13, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10.
