Termination of the Certificate Administrator Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Depositor may terminate the Certificate Administrator upon five (5) Business Days’ notice if the Certificate Administrator fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Article X; provided that (a) such termination shall not be effective until a successor Certificate Administrator shall have accepted the appointment, (b) the Certificate Administrator may not be terminated if (i) it cannot perform its obligations due to its failure to properly prepare or file on a timely basis, on behalf of the Trust, any Form 8-K, Form 10-K, Form 10-D or Form ABS-EE or any amendments to such forms or any Form 12b-25 where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, within the exact time frames set forth in this Agreement any information, approval, direction or signature from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file any such Form 8-K, Form 10-K, Form 10-D or Form ABS-EE or any amendments to such forms or any Form 12b-25 not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or (ii) following the Certificate Administrator’s failure to comply with any of such obligations under this Article X on or prior to the dates by which such obligations are to be performed pursuant to, and as set forth in, such Sections, the Certificate Administrator subsequently complies with such obligations before the Depositor gives written notice to it that it is terminated in accordance with this Section 10.15, and (c) if the Certificate Administrator’s failure to comply does not cause it to fail in its obligations to timely file, on behalf of the Trust, the related Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, as the case may be, by the related deadline for filing such Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, then the Depositor shall cease to have the right to terminate the Certificate Administrator under this Section 10.15 on the date on which such Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K is so filed.
