SECTION 6. REPURCHASE OF TRUST STUDENT LOANS; REIMBURSEMENT
(A) Each party to these Master Terms shall give notice to the other such parties and to the Servicer, the Administrator and SLM ECFC or VG Funding, as applicable, promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 5(A) and (B) hereof which has a material adverse effect on the interest of the Purchaser in any Trust Student Loan. In the event of such a material breach which is not curable by reinstatement of the applicable Guarantor’s guarantee of such Trust Student Loan, the Seller shall repurchase any affected Trust Student Loan not later than 120 days following the earlier of the date of discovery of such material breach and the date of receipt of the Guarantor reject transmittal form with respect to such Trust Student Loan. In the event of such a material breach which is curable by reinstatement of the applicable Guarantor’s guarantee of such Trust Student Loan, unless the material breach shall have been cured within 360 days following the earlier of the date of discovery of such material breach and the date of receipt of the Guarantor reject transmittal form with respect to such Trust Student Loan, the Seller shall purchase such Trust Student Loan not later than the sixtieth day following the end of such 360-day period. The Seller shall also remit as provided in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement on the date of repurchase of any Trust Student Loan pursuant to this Section 6(A) an amount equal to all non-guaranteed interest amounts and forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments with respect to such Trust Student Loan. In consideration of the purchase of any such Trust Student Loan pursuant to this Section 6(A), the Seller shall remit the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement.
In addition, if any breach of Sections 5(A) and (B) hereof by the Seller does not trigger such repurchase obligation but does result in the refusal by a Guarantor to guarantee all or a portion of the accrued interest (or any obligation of the Purchaser to repay such interest to a Guarantor), or the loss (including any obligation of the Purchaser to repay the Department) of Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments, with respect to any Trust Student Loan affected by such breach, then the Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser by remitting an amount equal to the sum of all such non-guaranteed interest amounts and such forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance Payments in the manner specified in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement not later than (i) the last day of the next Collection Period ending not less than
-16-
60 days from the date of the Guarantor’s refusal to guarantee all or a portion of accrued interest or loss of Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance Payments, or (ii) in the case where the Seller reasonably believes such losses are likely to be collected, not later than the last day of the next Collection Period ending not less than 360 days from the date of the Guarantor’s refusal to guarantee all or a portion of accrued interest or loss of Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance Payments. At the time such payment is made, the Seller shall not be required to reimburse the Purchaser for interest that is then capitalized, however, such amounts shall be reimbursed if the borrower subsequently defaults and such capitalized interest is not paid by the Guarantor.
Anything in this Section 6(A) to the contrary notwithstanding, if as of the last Business Day of any month the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Trust Student Loans with respect to which claims have been filed with and rejected by a Guarantor or with respect to which the Servicer determines that claims cannot be filed pursuant to the Higher Education Act as a result of a breach by the Seller or the Servicer, exceeds 1% of the Pool Balance, the Seller or the Servicer shall purchase, within 30 days of a written request of the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, such affected Trust Student Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that after such purchase the aggregate principal amount of such affected Trust Student Loans is less than 1% of the Pool Balance. The Trust Student Loans to be purchased by the Seller (or the Servicer as provided in the Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be based on the date of claim rejection (or the date of notice referred to in the first sentence of this Section 6(A)), with Trust Student Loans with the earliest such date to be repurchased first.
(B) In lieu of repurchasing Trust Student Loans pursuant to Section 6(A) above, the Seller may, at its option, substitute Eligible Loans or arrange for the substitution of Eligible Loans which are substantially similar on an aggregate basis as of the date of substitution to the Trust Student Loans for which they are being substituted with respect to the following characteristics:
| (1) | status (i.e., in-school, grace, deferment, forbearance or repayment), |
| (2) | program type (i.e., Unsubsidized Xxxxxxxx Loan or Subsidized Xxxxxxxx Loan (pre-1993 vs. post-1993), PLUS Loan or SLS Loan), |
| (3) | school type, |
| (4) | total return, |
| (5) | principal balance, and |
| (6) | remaining term to maturity. |
In addition, each substituted Eligible Loan will comply, as of the date of substitution, with all of the representations and warranties made hereunder. In choosing Eligible Loans to be substituted pursuant to this Section 6(B), the Seller shall make a reasonable determination that the Eligible Loans to be substituted will not have a material
-17-
adverse effect on the Noteholders. In connection with each substitution a Sale Agreement and related Xxxx of Sale regarding such substituted Loans will be executed and delivered by the applicable parties.
In the event that the Seller elects to substitute Eligible Loans pursuant to this Section 6(B), the Seller will remit to the Administrator the amount of any shortfall between the Purchase Amount of the substituted Eligible Loans and the Purchase Amount of the Trust Student Loans for which they are being substituted. The Seller shall also remit to the Administrator an amount equal to all non-guaranteed interest amounts and forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments with respect to the Trust Student Loans in the manner provided in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement.
(C) The sole remedy of the Purchaser, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Noteholders with respect to a breach by the Seller pursuant to Sections 5(A) and (B) hereof shall be to require the Seller to purchase such Trust Student Loans, to reimburse the Purchaser as provided in Section 6(A) above or to substitute Eligible Loans pursuant to Section 6(B). The Eligible Lender Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the purchase of any Trust Student Loan or the reimbursement for any interest penalty pursuant to this Section 6.

SECTION 8. CONTINUING OBLIGATION OF SELLER
The Seller shall provide all reasonable assistance necessary for the Purchaser to resolve account problems raised by any Borrower, the Guarantor or the Secretary provided such account problems are attributable to or are alleged to be attributable to (a) an event occurring during the

If the Seller shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or for the benefit of whom such payments are made thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Seller, without interest.
SECTION 10. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF, OR ASSUMPTION OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER
Any Person (a) into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, (b) which may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party or (c) which may succeed to the properties and assets of the Seller substantially as a whole, shall be the successor to the Seller without the execution or filing of any document or any further act by any of the parties to these Master Sale Terms; provided, however, that the Seller 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 the Seller, executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller under these Master Sale Terms, each Sale Agreement and each Xxxx of Sale; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 5 herein shall have been breached; (iii) the surviving Person, if other than the Seller, shall have delivered to the Eligible Lender Trustee 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 these Master Sale Terms 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 the Seller is not the surviving entity, such transaction will not result in a material adverse Federal or state tax consequence to the Purchaser or the Noteholders and (v) if the Seller is not the surviving entity, the Seller shall have delivered to the Eligible Lender Trustee 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 executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Purchaser and the Eligible Lender Trustee, respectively, in the Purchased 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.

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 Section 5 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
-20-
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 Purchased 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 listed on the related Xxxx of Sale is less than the aggregate Principal Balance stated on the related Xxxx of Sale, the Seller shall remit such amount to the Eligible Lender Trustee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

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
-21-
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.

-22-
