The obligations of the Series 2010-3 Administrator and the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 20 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part.
SECTION 21. Limited Recourse to RCFC. The obligations of RCFC under this Agreement are solely the obligations of RCFC. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement against any member, employee, officer or director of RCFC.
