STUDENT TUITION RECOVERY FUND “The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state-imposed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition. You are not eligible for protection from the STRF, and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if you are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program.”
Servicer and Backup Servicer Not to Resign (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4, neither the Servicer nor the Backup Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Servicer or Backup Servicer except upon a determination that by reason of a change in legal requirements the performance of its duties under this Agreement would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would have a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be, if the Majority Noteholders do not elect to waive the obligations of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be, to perform the duties which render it legally unable to act or to delegate those duties to another Person. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until the Backup Servicer or an entity acceptable to the Majority Noteholders shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer. No resignation of the Backup Servicer shall become effective until an entity acceptable to the Majority Noteholders shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Backup Servicer; provided, however, that (i) in the event a successor Backup Servicer is not appointed within 60 days after the Backup Servicer has given notice of its resignation and has provided the Opinion of Counsel required by this Section, the Backup Servicer may petition a court for its removal (all reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection with such petition will be paid by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.7(a) hereof or Section 5.6 of the Indenture, as applicable), (ii) the Backup Servicer may resign with the written consent of the Majority Noteholders and (iii) if Citibank, N.A. resigns as Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, it will no longer be the Backup Servicer.
(b) The Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) may delegate any or all of its duties to any sub-contractor with the prior consent of the Holding Trust. No delegation or sub-contracting by the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) of its duties herein in the manner described in this Section 8.7 shall relieve the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) of its responsibility with respect to such duties. As of the date hereof, the Holding Trust has provided its consent to the delegation by the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as successor Servicer if so appointed) of all of its duties as Backup Servicer (including its duties as successor Servicer if so appointed) to Systems & Services Technologies, Inc.
Limitation on Liability of Servicer, Backup Servicer and Others (a) Neither Exeter, the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) nor any of the directors, mangers or officers or employees or agents of Exeter or Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) shall be under any liability to the Issuer, the Holding Trust or the Noteholders, except as provided in this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect Exeter, the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of a breach of this Agreement (in the case of Exeter) or willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence (excluding errors in judgment) in the performance of duties; provided, further, that this provision shall not affect any liability to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee for costs, taxes, expenses, claims, liabilities, losses or damages paid by the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in their individual capacities. Exeter, the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) and any director, manager, officer, employee or agent of Exeter or Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) may rely in good faith on the written advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.
(b) The Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any obligation of the Servicer contained in this Agreement or for any errors of the Servicer contained in any computer tape, certificate or other data or document delivered to the Backup Servicer hereunder or on which the Backup Servicer must rely in order to perform its obligations hereunder, and the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Seller and the Noteholders shall look only to the Servicer to perform such obligations. The Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Custodian shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder or incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of their respective duties under this Agreement if such failure or delay results from the Backup Servicer acting in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Backup Servicer (or contractual agents) or the failure of any such other Person to prepare or provide such information. The Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability for (i) any act or failure to act of any third party (other than its contractual agents), including the Servicer or the Majority Noteholders, (ii) any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the Backup Servicer from any third party (other than its contractual agents), (iii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Receivable under applicable law, (iv) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to any Receivable, or (v) the acts or omissions of any prior Servicer or any successor Backup Servicer.
(c) The parties expressly acknowledge and consent to Citibank, N.A. acting in the possible dual capacity of Backup Servicer or successor Servicer and in the capacity as Indenture Trustee. Citibank, N.A., may, in such dual or other capacity, discharge its separate functions fully, without hindrance or regard to conflict of interest principles, duty of loyalty principles or other breach of fiduciary duties to the extent that any such conflict or breach arises from the performance by Citibank, N.A., of express duties set forth in this Agreement in any of such capacities, all of which defenses, claims or assertions are hereby expressly waived by the other parties hereto and the Noteholders except in the case of gross negligence and willful misconduct by Citibank, N.A..
