the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties set forth herein and in the Sale Agreement
or the action or the inaction of the Trustee hereunder, except to the extent that such cost,
expense, loss, claim, damage, obligation or liability: (i) shall be due to the willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the Trustee, (ii) shall
arise from any breach by the Trustee of its covenants in its individual capacity under any of the
Basic Documents; or (iii) shall arise from the breach by the Trustee of any of its representations
or warranties in its individual capacity set forth in these Master Sale Terms or any Sale

without the execution or filing of any document or any further act by any of the parties to these

not consummate any of the foregoing transactions except upon satisfaction of the following: (i)
the surviving Person, if other than the Seller, executes an agreement of assumption to perform
every obligation of the Seller under these Master Sale Terms, (ii) immediately after giving effect

ARTICLE XI.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF SELLER AND OTHERS
SECTION 11.01. Limitation on Liability of 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 Article V 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 Sale Terms or any Sale 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 Xxxx of
Sale may be adjusted in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the date of the Xxxx of Sale
and to the extent that the aggregate Principal Balance listed on the Xxxx of Sale is less than the
aggregate Principal Balance stated on the Xxxx of Sale, the Seller shall remit such amount to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Purchaser. Such reconciliation payment shall be made from time to
time but no less frequently than semi-annually.
ARTICLE XII.
EXPENSES
SECTION 12.01. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each party to these

ARTICLE XIII.
SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS/SUPERSESSION
SECTION 13.01. Survival of Covenants/Suppression. All covenants, agreements,

provided for in each Sale Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made or furnished pursuant hereto by or for the benefit of the Seller shall bind and inure to the
benefit of any successors or assigns of the Purchaser and shall survive with respect to each Loan.
Each Sale Agreement supersedes all previous agreements and understandings between the Purchaser and
the Seller with respect to the subject matter thereof. A Sale 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 Sale 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 Sale 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 Sale Agreement, be construed to lessen the right of the Purchaser to insist upon the
performance by the Seller in strict accordance with said terms.
ARTICLE XIV.
COMMUNICATION AND NOTICE REQUIREMENTS
SECTION 14.01. 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 Sale Agreement or at such other

such communication, mailed to the Seller or the Purchaser by appropriately addressed registered
mail, shall be deemed to have been given on the day following the date of such mailing.

of the Noteholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes,

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent (or, in the case of the Rating
Agencies, five Business Days prior thereto), the 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 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 Sale Terms, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that execution of such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Sale Agreement and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section
7.01(i) of the Administration Agreement. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter
