(d) The Indenture Trustee shall transfer all amounts remaining on deposit in the Collection Account on the Payment Date on which the Notes of all Classes have been paid in full (or substantially all of the Trust Estate is otherwise released from the lien of the Indenture) to the Issuer for the benefit of the Certificateholder, and to take all necessary or appropriate actions to transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Collection Account, all funds or investments held or to be held therein and all proceeds thereof, to the Issuer for the benefit of the Certificateholder, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture with respect to amounts held for payment to the Noteholders that do not promptly deliver a Note for payment on such Payment Date.
(e) With respect to the Collection Account and all property held therein, the Issuer agrees, by its acceptance hereof that, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, for so long as Notes of any Class remain outstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest therein (excluding interest or investment income thereon payable to the Servicer), and that such account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholder, as set forth in the Indenture. The parties hereto agree that the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee upon an Event of Default resulting in an acceleration of the Notes or liquidation of the Trust Estate or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account for the purpose of permitting the Servicer, Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or under the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.
Establishment of Accounts (a) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, shall cause the Indenture Trustee to establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders.

The Issuer shall also cause to be established two administrative subaccounts within the Note Distribution Account at the Eligible Institution then maintaining the Note Distribution Account, which subaccounts shall be designated the “Interest Distribution Account” and the “Principal Distribution Account”, respectively. The Interest Distribution Account and the Principal Distribution Account are established and maintained solely for administrative purposes.
(c) The Issuer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall cause the Indenture Trustee to establish with and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Reserve Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders.
(d) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer; provided, however, that if (i) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Reserve Account or the Collection Account to the Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee), on any Business Day or (ii) a Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Indenture or (iii) if the Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in accordance with Section 5.05 of the Indenture as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in investments that are Eligible Investments in accordance with the standing instructions most recently given in writing by the Servicer. Funds on deposit in the Note Distribution Account shall remain uninvested. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, as applicable; provided, for each Collection Period such amount shall be calculated on the Determination Date. On each Payment Date all interest and other investment income (net of Net Investment Losses) on funds on deposit in the (i) Collection Account for the related Collection Period will be released to the Depositor; and (ii) Reserve Account for the related Collection Period will be released to the Depositor, upon the direction of the Servicer, to the extent that funds on deposit in the Reserve Account on such Payment Date, after giving effect to all withdrawals therefrom on such Payment Date, exceed the Reserve Account Required Amount. Other than as permitted in writing by the Rating Agencies with respect to the Reserve Account, funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date. Funds deposited in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account on a day that immediately precedes a Payment Date upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested overnight.
(e) In the event that there are Net Investment Losses in Eligible Investments chosen by the Servicer, the Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account, no later than one Business Day prior to the Payment Date, the amount of the Net Investment Losses. The Indenture Trustee shall not be held liable in any way for any Net Investment Losses, except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as Indenture Trustee, in accordance with their terms.
(i) The Trust shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds and investment property on deposit from time to time in or credited to the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon) and all such funds, investment property, proceeds and income shall be part of the Trust Estate, except as otherwise set forth herein. The Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, as applicable. If, at any time, any Trust Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash or any investments from the account that is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account to the new Trust Account.
(ii) With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that:
(A) any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in the Eligible Deposit Accounts, subject to the last sentence of Section 5.01(f)(i); and each such Eligible Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

(C) any Trust Account Property that is a book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition herein of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Trust Account Property as described in such paragraph;
(D) any Trust Account Property that is an “uncertificated security” under Article 8 of the UCC and that is not governed by clause (C) above shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (c) of the definition herein of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee’s (or its nominee’s) ownership of such security; and
(E) any Trust Account Property that is a security entitlement shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (d) of the definition herein of “Delivery” and shall be held pending maturity or disposition by the Indenture Trustee or a securities intermediary acting solely for the Indenture Trustee.
