Lender Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor VG Funding Eligible Lender 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 VG Funding Eligible Lender Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under this Agreement or the
VG Funding Purchase Agreement until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment. 
 If at any time the VG Funding Eligible Lender
Trustee shall cease to be or shall be likely to cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by VG Funding, then VG Funding may remove the VG Funding Eligible

duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing VG Funding Eligible Lender Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor VG Funding Eligible Lender Trustee together with payment of all fees owed to the outgoing VG
Funding Eligible Lender Trustee.

expenses owed to the outgoing VG Funding Eligible Lender Trustee. 
 SECTION 8.3 Successor VG Funding Eligible Lender Trustee.
Any successor VG Funding Eligible Lender Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to VG Funding and to its predecessor VG Funding Eligible Lender Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under

fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as VG Funding Eligible Lender Trustee. The predecessor VG Funding Eligible Lender Trustee shall upon
payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor VG Funding Eligible Lender Trustee all documents, statements, moneys and properties held by it under this Agreement and shall assign, if permissible, to the successor VG Funding Eligible
Lender Trustee any lender identification number obtained from the Department with respect to the Interim Trust Loans; and VG Funding and the predecessor VG Funding Eligible Lender 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 VG Funding Eligible Lender Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. 
 No successor VG Funding Eligible Lender Trustee shall accept such appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such

supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder, the Excess Distribution Certificateholders or any Swap Counterparty.

other party. 
 SECTION 9.3 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.4 Separate Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
