provided, however, that the Issuer Administrator shall not be required to indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Delaware Trustee pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii)(A) or (B) so long as the Issuer Administrator has acted pursuant to the instructions of the Delaware Trustee or the Owner in accordance with Subsection (c) hereof.
