In case of the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant may appoint a successor to the Owner Trustee by an instrument in writing, signed by the Owner Participant. If a successor to the Owner Trustee shall not have been appointed within thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice of such resignation or the delivery of the written instrument with respect to such removal, the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee or the Lessee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor to the Owner Trustee reasonably acceptable to the Owner Participant and the Lessee to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as above provided in this Section 10.1. Any successor so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor to the Owner Trustee appointed as above provided in this Section 10.1. 15 (b) Any successor Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment and shall give the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee and Lessee written notice of such acceptance.

Upon the appointment of any successor Owner Trustee hereunder, the predecessor trustee, pursuant to written instructions of the Owner Participant, will execute all documents and take all reasonable action within its control in order to cause such title held in the Trust Estate by such predecessor trustee to be transferred to the successor Owner Trustee. (c) Any successor to the Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall be a bank or trust company incorporated and doing business within the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, reasonably acceptable to the Owner Participant and the Lessee, and regularly engaged in or having expertise in leveraged leasing, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Owner Trustee hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms. (d) Any corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee may be transferred, shall be, subject to compliance with the terms 16 of paragraph (c) of this Section 10.1, the Owner Trustee under this Trust Agreement without further act. 10.2 Additional and Separate Trustees.

In case any such additional trustee or separate trustee shall resign or be removed, all the assets, property, rights, powers or duties of such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, so far as permitted by any applicable law, shall vest in and be exercised by a new successor to such additional trustee, appointed in the manner otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement. (b) In the event that either the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall determine to appoint another Person as additional or separate trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant shall execute and deliver an agreement supplemental hereto, and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant, either to act as an additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Trust Estate, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Trust Estate, in any such case with such powers as may be provided in such agreement supplemental hereto, and to vest in such bank, trust company or Person as such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, any property, title, right, or power deemed necessary or proper by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 10.2. In the event the Owner Participant shall not have joined in the execution of such agreement supplemental hereto within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of a written request from the Owner Trustee so to do without providing a reasonable basis for such failure to join, the Owner Trustee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 without the con- 17 currence of the Owner Participant, and the Owner Participant hereby appoints the Owner Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for the Owner Participant under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 in the event of the occur. rence of such contingency. The Owner Trustee may execute, deliver and perform any deed, conveyance, assignment or other instrument in writing as may be required by an additional trustee or separate trustee for more fully and cer- tainly vesting in and confirming to such Person any property, title, right or power which, by the terms of such agreement supplemental hereto, are expressed to be conveyed or conferred to or upon such additional trustee or separate trustee, and the Owner Participant shall, upon the Owner Trustee's request, join therein and execute, acknowledge and deliver the same, and the Owner Participant hereby appoints the Owner Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such deed, conveyance, assignment or other instrument in the event that such Owner Participant shall not itself execute and deliver the same within fifteen (15) days after receipt by it of such request so to do. (c) Every additional trustee and separate trustee hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed to act and the Owner Trustee shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions: (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody, management, investment and payment of moneys, shall be exercised solely by the Owner Trustee; (ii) all other rights, powers, duties, and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such additional trustee or trustees and separate trustee or trustees jointly, except to the extent that, under any law of the jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties, and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such additional trustee or trustees or separate trustee or trustees; 18 (iii) no power hereby given to, or with respect to which it is hereby provided may be exercised by, any such additional trustee or separate trustee shall be exercised hereunder by such additional trustee or separate trustee except jointly with, or with the consent of, the Owner Trustee and (iv) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder. (d) If at any time the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant shall deem it no longer necessary or prudent in order to conform to any applicable law or shall be advised by its counsel that it is no longer necessary or prudent in the interest of the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant to maintain the appointment of such additional or separate trustee as provided herein, the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant shall execute and deliver any agreement supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any such additional or separate trustee. In the event that the Owner Participant shall not have joined in the execution of such agreement supplemental hereto, instruments and agreements, the Owner Trustee may act on behalf of the Owner Participant to the same extent provided above in this Section 10.2. (e) Any additional trustee or separate trustee may at any time by an instrument in writing constitute the Owner Trustee; its agent or attorney-in- fact with full power and authority, to the extent which may be authorized by applicable law, to do all acts and things and exercise all discretion which it is authorized or permitted to do or exercise, for and in its behalf and in its name. In case any such additional trustee or separate trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the assets, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee without necessity of any act by any party and without the appointment of a new successor to such additional or separate trustee, unless and until a successor is appointed in the manner provided in this Section 10.2. (f) Each additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be subject to, and shall have the benefit of, Sections 6.1 through 6.7 and Sections 7.1, 8.1 and 11.2 insofar as they apply to the 19 Owner Trustee. No additional separate trustee shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 10.2 without the consent of the Lessee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
