The Trustee Has The Power to Represent the Securitization Trusts in Court Proceedings
The Trustee has the power to represent the Securitization Trusts in litigation and the resolution of related disputes
by compromise and settlement will bind all relevant parties. See e.g., Carey v. Brown, 92 U.S. 171
(1875); Shaw v. Little Rock and Fort Smith R. Co., 100 U.S. 605 (1880); Redmond v. Commerce Trust, 144
