nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith on their part, arising out of the willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith or other act of the Issuer Administrator in the performance of the Issuer Administrator’s duties contemplated by this Administration Agreement; and

provided, however, that the Issuer Administrator shall not be required to indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Delaware Trustee pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii)(A) or (B) hereof so long as the Issuer Administrator has acted pursuant to the instructions of the Delaware Trustee or the Owner in accordance with subsection (c) hereof.

Section 3. Compensation. As compensation for the performance of the Issuer Administrator’s obligations under this Administration Agreement and as reimbursement for its expenses related thereto, the Issuer Administrator shall be entitled to the Administration Fee payable as set forth in the Indenture.

Section 7. Other Activities of the Issuer Administrator.

Section 15. Counterparts. This Administration Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.

Section 16. Severability. Any provision of this Administration Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and any

such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 17. Limitation of Liability of Eligible Lender Trustee and Delaware Trustee. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been executed by each of The Bank of New York (Delaware) and The Bank of New York, not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Delaware Trustee or Eligible Lender Trustee, as applicable, and in no event shall The Bank of New York (Delaware) or The Bank of New York in its individual capacity or any beneficial owner of the Issuer have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer.

Section 18. No Petition. The parties hereto will not at any time institute against the Issuer any bankruptcy proceeding under any United States federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations of the Issuer under any Basic Document as such term is defined in the Indenture.
