SECTION 10. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF, OR ASSUMPTION OF THE
OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER

SECTION 11. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE SELLER AND OTHERS
The Seller and any director or officer or employee or agent thereof may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder (provided that such reliance shall not limit in any way the Seller’s obligations under Section 6 herein). The Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its obligations under these Master Terms or any Purchase Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability. Except as provided herein, the repurchase (or substitution) and reimbursement obligations of the Seller will constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser for uncured breaches; provided, however, that the information with respect to the Loans listed on the related ▇▇▇▇ of Sale may be adjusted in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the date of the related ▇▇▇▇ of Sale and to the extent that the aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans listed on the related ▇▇▇▇ of Sale is less than the aggregate Principal Balance stated on the related ▇▇▇▇ of Sale, the Seller shall remit such amount to the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee for the benefit of and on behalf of the Purchaser. Such reconciliation payment shall be made from time to time but no less frequently than semi-annually.
SECTION 12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF THE INTERIM ELIGIBLE LENDER TRUSTEE
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, these Master Terms and any Purchase Agreement have been or will be signed by [Interim Eligible Lender Trustee] not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Interim Eligible Lender Trustee for the Purchaser, and in no event shall [Interim Eligible Lender Trustee] in its individual capacity have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Purchaser under these Master Terms or any Purchase Agreements or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be.
SECTION 13. EXPENSES
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture, each party to these Master Terms or any Purchase Agreement shall pay its own expense incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of these Master Terms and any Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein or therein.
SECTION 14. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS/SUPERSESSION
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in or pursuant to any Purchase Agreement executed pursuant to these Master Terms shall survive the consummation of the acquisition of the Loans provided for in the related Purchase Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made or furnished pursuant hereto by the Seller shall bind and inure to the benefit of any successors or assigns of the Purchaser and the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee for the benefit of and on behalf of the Purchaser and shall survive with respect to each Loan. Each Purchase Agreement supersedes all previous agreements and understandings between the Purchaser and the Seller with respect to the subject matter thereof. These Master Terms and any Purchase Agreement may be changed, modified or discharged, and any rights or obligations hereunder may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by a duly authorized officer of the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. The waiver by the Purchaser of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty required to be made or furnished by the Seller or the waiver by the Purchaser of any provision herein contained or contained in any Purchase Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach of any other covenant, agreement, representation, warranty or provision herein contained or contained in any Purchase Agreement, nor shall any waiver or any custom or practice which may evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof or of any Purchase Agreement, be construed to lessen the right of the Purchaser to insist upon the performance by the Seller in strict accordance with said terms.
SECTION 15. COMMUNICATION AND NOTICE REQUIREMENTS
All communications, notices and approvals provided for hereunder shall be in writing and mailed or delivered to the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, addressed as set forth in the related Purchase Agreement or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate by notice to the other party.

SECTION 16. FORM OF INSTRUMENTS
All instruments and documents delivered in connection with these Master Terms and any Purchase Agreement, and all proceedings to be taken in connection with these Master Terms and any Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein and therein, shall be in a form as set forth in the attachments hereto, and the Purchaser shall have received copies of such documents as it or its counsel shall reasonably request in connection therewith. Any instrument or document which is substantially in the same form as an attachment hereto or a recital herein will be deemed to be satisfactory as to form.
SECTION 17. AMENDMENT
These Master Terms, any Purchase Agreement, any ▇▇▇▇ of Sale and any document or instrument delivered in accordance herewith or therewith may be amended by the parties hereto and thereto without the consent of the related Noteholders for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in the related document or of modifying in any manner the rights of such Noteholders; provided that such action will not, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the related Indenture Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interests of any such Noteholder; and provided further, that the contemplated amendment will not result in or cause a significant change in the permissible activities of the Trust.
In addition, these Master Terms, any Purchase Agreement and any document or instrument delivered in accordance herewith or therewith may also be amended from time to time by the Seller, the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the Purchaser, with the consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in the related document or modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the time of, collections of payments with respect to Loans or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Noteholders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of all outstanding Noteholders.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent (or, in the case of the Rating Agencies, five Business Days prior thereto), the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders pursuant to this Section 17 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
Prior to the execution of any amendment to these Master Terms, the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by these Master Terms and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 7.1(i)(i) of the Administration Agreement. The Interim Eligible Lender Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under these Master Terms or otherwise.
SECTION 18. NONPETITION COVENANTS
Notwithstanding any prior termination of these Master Terms, the Seller shall not acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Purchaser to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Purchaser under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Purchaser or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Purchaser.
SECTION 19. GOVERNING LAW
These Master Terms and any Purchase Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to its conflict of law principles), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
SECTION 20. MISCELLANEOUS
These Master Terms and any Purchase Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused these Master Terms to be duly executed by their respective officers hereunto duly authorized, as of the day and year first above written.
