The Master Servicer shall have full authority to do anything it reasonably deems appropriate in connection with providing for, arranging and maintaining such servicing and administration relationships with Servicers, including without limitation (1) entering into one or more Servicing Agreements with the Servicers and/or with the Issuer and the Servicers, (2) providing or arranging for the replacement of any Servicing Agreement that expires or is terminated, (3) consulting with any Servicer regarding the negotiation, execution and performance of any Servicing Agreement or the servicing and administration of any related Student Loan, and (4) terminating any Servicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement, provided, that upon termination of any such Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall arrange for an appropriate Servicing Agreement with a Servicer pertaining to and maintaining continuous servicing of the Student Loans previously serviced under the terminated Servicing Agreement. The servicing arrangements provided for by the Master Servicer shall maintain servicing standards in accordance in all material respects with all applicable agreements and indentures of the Issuer and all applicable federal and state laws, including all applicable standards, guidelines and requirements of the Higher Education Act and any Guarantee Agreement with respect to the Student Loans, the failure to comply with which would adversely affect the eligibility of one or more of the Student Loans for Guarantee Payments or would have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders. The Master Servicer may perform its responsibilities hereunder through other agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities as hereinafter set forth. As part of its master servicing responsibilities hereunder, the Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer, shall oversee, administer and enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of such Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Student Loans.

The authorization and instruction set forth herein shall remain in effect until such time as the Company shall receive written instruction from the Purchaser that such authorization and instruction is terminated.
Assumption of Master Servicing by Trustee (a) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under each Purchase and Servicing Agreement and Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loans or shall appoint a Xxxxxx-Xxx or FHLMC-approved servicer as successor servicer acceptable to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies. The Trustee, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein and therein to the same extent as if each Purchase and Servicing Agreement and Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer under each Purchase and Servicing Agreement and Servicing Agreement accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee’s assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder. (b) The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Purchase and Servicing Agreement and Servicing Agreement, this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Purchase and Servicing Agreement, Servicing Agreement and this Agreement to the assuming party.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning party) to such effect delivered to the Trustee.

Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 6.07, to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer.
