Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice

shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Owner may, but shall not be required to, remove the Owner Trustee. If the Owner shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding
sentence, the Owner shall promptly (i) 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
(ii) pay all amounts owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee in its individual capacity.



Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the
successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.3 and, in the case of removal, payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity.



SECTION 9.3. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.2 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Owner and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such
successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee.
The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Owner 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 9.3 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1.



Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.3, the Owner shall mail notice of such acceptance of appointment
including the name of such



17

successor Owner Trustee to the Owner, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. If the Owner shall fail to mail such notice within ten 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 Owner.



Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.3, such successor Owner Trustee shall file an amendment to the
Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Secretary of State identifying the name and principal place of business of such successor Owner Trustee in the State of Delaware.



SECTION 9.4. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, 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 that such Person shall meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 9.1), without the execution or
filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall file any necessary amendments to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State.



SECTION 9.5. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Owner 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 each of the Owner and the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.5, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Owner and the Owner Trustee may 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 9.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.3.



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) except with respect to the Co-Trustee, 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



18



---

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; and



(iii) the Owner 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 Agreement and the
conditions of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or
separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee.
Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Owner.



Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee, 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.

percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes then Outstanding which is required to consent to any such amendment; provided, further, that no amendment provided for in this paragraph will, as evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel addressed and delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, cause the Trust to be classified as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.



Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Owner
shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Indenture Trustee.



It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Noteholders pursuant to this Section 11.1 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or
consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

in relying upon, an Officers Certificate of the Owner to the effect that the conditions to amendment have been satisfied.
