12.16 Substitution of State Street Trust as Trustee of the ABA Members Collective Trust. (a) Agreement Between State Street and State Street Trust. State Street shall enter into the State Street Trust Agreement with State Street Trust to provide the Trustee Services required of State Street under this Agreement, other than those Trustee Services required by Article 3. Such agreement shall be identical in form and in substance with the form of the State Street Trust Agreement, and ABRA shall be a third-party beneficiary of such agreement. The performance by State Street Trust of its obligations under the State Street Trust Agreement shall discharge any obligations imposed upon State Street under the AISA Agreement to the extent such agreement contemplates that State Street will serve as trustee of the ABA Members Collective Trust. State Street also shall execute and deliver to ABRA, on behalf of the Program, the Employers and the Investors a guaranty of the performance of State Street Trust that is identical in form and in substance with the State Street Trust Guaranty.

 

(b) Substitution of State Street Trust as Trustee of the ABA Members Collective Trust. Upon execution of the State Street Trust Agreement by all parties thereto and upon execution by State Street of the State Street Guaranty and its delivery to ABRA as provided in Section 12.16(a), State Street may amend the ABA Members Collective Trust to substitute State Street Trust for State Street as trustee thereof by executing an amendment identical in form and in substance to the State Street Trust Amendment, and upon such execution, State Street Trust shall be substituted for State Street as trustee of the ABA Members Collective Trust.

 

(c) Effect of Insolvency of State Street Trust. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the State Street Trust Agreement or the State Street Trust Amendment to the contrary, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Insolvency or Regulatory Event (as defined below) State Street shall without any further approval by it or State Street Trust succeed as trustee of the ABA


Members Collective Trust, and State Street Trust shall, from and after such time, no longer be trustee of the Collective Trust (and shall be deemed to have resigned as trustee of the Collective Trust as of such time); provided, that nothing herein shall relieve State Street Trust of any of its liabilities arising pursuant to the Declaration of Trust prior to such time. The appointment of State Street as successor trustee will immediately vest title of the assets of the Collective Trust in State Street as successor trustee without any separate instrument or conveyance. As used herein, “Insolvency or Regulatory Event” means (i) the issuance or entry of a decree or order by an applicable state or federal bank regulator or a court of competent jurisdiction declaring or adjudicating State Street Trust a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjudication or composition of or in respect of State Street Trust under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, or similar official of State Street Trust or of any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs; (ii) the institution by State Street Trust of proceedings to be declared or adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or similar official of State Street Trust or of any substantial part of its property, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due and its willingness to be declared or adjudicated a bankrupt; (iii) the seizure of State Street Trust or any substantial part of its property by an applicable state or federal bank regulator or pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iv) the issuance of a cease and desist or similar order against State Street Trust by an applicable state or federal bank regulator if such order prohibits, enjoins or otherwise prevents State Street Trust Company from acting as trustee of the Collective Trust. State Street shall cause the Board of Directors and the Chief Financial Officer of State Street Trust to inform State Street and ABRA in writing of the occurrence of an Insolvency or Regulatory Event. If a person claiming to be a creditor of State Street Trust alleges in writing that an Insolvency or Regulatory Event has occurred, State Street Trust shall promptly notify State Street and ABRA, and State Street shall determine whether such event has occurred and report the results of such determination, and the reasons therefor, to ABRA in writing.


3. Except as modified hereby, the AISA Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, without modification or waiver.
