Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, the Seller. Any Person (a) into which SLC may be merged or consolidated, (b) which may result from any merger or consolidation to which SLC shall be a party or (c) which may succeed to the properties and assets of SLC substantially as a whole, shall be the successor to SLC without the execution or filing of any document or any further act by any of the parties to this Master Terms Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that SLC hereby covenants that it will not consummate any of the foregoing transactions except upon satisfaction of the following: (i) the surviving Person, if other than SLC, executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of SLC under this Master Terms Purchase Agreement, each Purchase Agreement and each Xxxx of Sale; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 5 shall have been breached; (iii) the surviving Person, if other than SLC, shall have delivered to SLC Receivables an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Master Terms Purchase Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, and that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such transaction; (iv) if SLC is not the surviving entity, such transaction will not result in a material adverse Federal or state tax consequence to SLC Receivables or the Noteholders or the holder of the Trust Certificate, and (v) if SLC is not the surviving entity, SLC shall have delivered to SLC Receivables an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of SLC Receivables and the Eligible Lender Trustee, respectively, in the Loans and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interests.
Section 11.
Limitation on Liability of SLC and Others. SLC 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 SLC’s obligations under Section 6). SLC shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its obligations under this Master Terms Purchase Agreement 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 SLC will constitute the sole remedy available to SLC Receivables for uncured breaches; provided, however, that the information with respect to the Loans listed on the related Xxxx of Sale may be adjusted in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the date of the related Xxxx of Sale and to the extent that the aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans listed on the related Xxxx of Sale is less than the aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans stated on the related Xxxx of Sale, SLC shall remit such amount to the Eligible Lender Trustee, for the benefit of and on behalf of SLC Receivables. Such reconciliation payment shall be made from time to time but no less frequently than semi-annually.
Section 12.
Limitation on Liability of Eligible Lender Trustee.
(A) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Master Terms Purchase Agreement and any Purchase Agreement have been signed by Citibank, N.A. not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Eligible Lender Trustee for SLC Receivables and in no event shall Citibank, N.A. in its individual capacity have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of SLC Receivables under this Master Terms Purchase Agreement 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 SLC Receivables.
A.
It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Master Terms Purchase Agreement is executed and delivered by Citibank, N.A., not individually or personally but solely as Eligible Lender Trustee for SLC and Eligible Lender Trustee for SLC Receivables, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the Eligible Lender Trust Agreements, (b) under no circumstances shall Citibank, N.A. be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of SLC or SLC Receivables or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by SLC or SLC Receivables under this Master Terms Purchase Agreement or any other Purchase Agreement, and (c) all Persons having any claim against SLC or SLC Receivables by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Master Terms Purchase Agreement or any other Purchase Agreement shall look only to SLC or SLC Receivables, respectively, for payment or satisfaction thereof.

Survival of Covenants/Supersession.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made or furnished pursuant hereto by or on behalf of SLC shall bind and inure to the benefit of any successors or assigns of SLC Receivables and the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of SLC Receivables and shall survive with respect to each Loan. Each Purchase Agreement supersedes all previous agreements and understandings between SLC Receivables and SLC with respect to the subject matter thereof. This Master Terms Purchase Agreement 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 SLC Receivables of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty required to be made or furnished by SLC or the waiver by SLC Receivables 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, 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 SLC Receivables to insist upon the performance by SLC 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 SLC or SLC Receivables, as the case may be, at such address as either party may hereafter designate by notice to the other party.

Section 16.
Form of Instruments.

Section 17.

This Master Terms Purchase Agreement, any Purchase Agreement, any Xxxx 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 Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interest 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.
This Master Terms Purchase Agreement, any Purchase Agreement and any document or instrument delivered in accordance herewith or therewith may also be amended from time to time by SLC, the Eligible Lender Trustee and SLC Receivables, 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 of 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 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 this Master Terms Purchase Agreement, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture 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 Master Terms Purchase Agreement and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 7.1(i)(i) of the Administration Agreement.
