Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall apply to the Trustee's and the Certificate Administrator's execution of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, and the Converted Loan Purchase Agreement, and the performance of their respective duties and satisfaction of its obligations hereunder and thereunder. Notwithstanding any term or provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights and obligations of the Trustee as trustee under this Agreement shall not be diminished by the fact that the Trustee may employ the services of the Certificate Administrator to accomplish the duties of the Trustee hereunder.
