It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral, (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation of the Issuing Entity under the Notes, or secured by the Indenture, until the Collateral has been realized, whereupon any such outstanding indebtedness or obligation shall be extinguished, (iii) limit the right of any Person to name the Issuing Entity as a party defendant in any action or suit or in the exercise of any other remedy under this Agreement and the Basic Documents, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against the Issuing Entity, (iv) impair the right of any party hereto (other than the Issuing Entity) to obtain the appointment of a receiver or (v) constitute a waiver of any right which any party hereto (other than the Issuing Entity) may have under any applicable insolvency laws to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness or obligations secured by the Indenture or to require that the Collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness or obligations owing to the Noteholders in accordance with the Notes and the Basic Documents to which the Issuing Entity is a party.

(c) The Securities Intermediary may consult with and obtain advice from counsel, accountants or other experts of its own choice in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any provision hereof or otherwise in connection with its duties hereunder, and any action taken or omitted by the Securities Intermediary in reasonable reliance upon such advice shall be full justification and protection to it.

(f) The Securities Intermediary shall not be obligated to take any action which in its reasonable judgment would cause it to incur any expense or liability not otherwise contemplated hereunder unless it has been furnished with an indemnity with respect thereto which is reasonably satisfactory to the Securities Intermediary.

(g) The Securities Intermediary may rely upon the contents of any notice, consent, instruction or other communication or document from the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Party, the Issuing Entity or the Servicer that the Securities Intermediary believes in good faith to be genuine and from the proper Person, without any further duty of inquiry or independent investigation on its part.

(h) The Securities Intermediary shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Indenture Default or any other default under any other Basic Document unless an Authorized Officer of the Securities Intermediary has actual knowledge or Securities Intermediary shall have received written notice thereof. In the absence of such actual knowledge or receipt of such notice, the Intermediary may conclusively assume that none of such events have occurred and the Securities Intermediary shall not have any obligation or duty to determine whether any Indenture Default or any other default under any other Basic Document has occurred or is continuing.

(i) No provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document shall be construed to require the Securities Intermediary to perform, supervise, monitor or accept any responsibility for the performance of, the obligations of the Issuing Entity or the Servicer hereunder or under any other Basic Document or any Person other than itself under any other Basic Document.

(j) The Securities Intermediary shall not be liable for any delays in performance for causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of declared or undeclared war (including acts of terrorism), public disorder, rebellion, sabotage, fire, flood, epidemic, pandemic, landslide, lightning, fire, hurricane, earthquake, flood, strike, restriction by civil or military authority in their sovereign or contractual capacities, transportation failure, loss or malfunctions of communications or computer (software and hardware) services, power line or other utility failures or interruptions, or inability to obtain labor.
