When directed in writing by the Grantor, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall satisfy approved claims out of any money belonging to the Trust Estate, but the Grantor expressly reserves the right to satisfy Trust debts with non-Trust assets.

The Eligible Lender Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Agreement or at the direction of the Grantor. The right of the Eligible Lender Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Eligible Lender Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act. Under no circumstances shall the Eligible Lender Trustee be personally liable for any indebtedness of the Grantor or the Trust under any Basic Documents. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Responsible Officer” means any officer assigned to the Corporate Trust Division (or any successor thereto), including any Vice President, Assistant Vice President, Trust Officer, any Assistant Secretary or any other officer of the Eligible Lender Trustee customarily performing functions similar to those performed by any of the above designated officers, in each case having direct responsibility for the administration of this Agreement.

(c)
The Eligible Lender Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital herein or for the recording or re-recording, filing, re-filing of any document or any supplement or amendment thereto, or the filing of financial statements, or for the validity of the execution by the Grantor of this Agreement, or of any supplemental agreements or instruments of further assurance, or for the value or title of the property herein conveyed or otherwise as to the maintenance of the security hereof.
