the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under these Master Sale
Terms.

performance of its duties under the Sale Agreement, or by
reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties
under the Sale Agreement.
(iii) The Seller shall be liable as primary obligor for,
and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Eligible
Lender Trustee in its individual capacity and its officers,
directors, employees and agents from and against, all costs,

arising out of, incurred in connection with or relating to the

performance of the trusts and duties set forth herein and in
the Sale Agreement or the action or the inaction of the

such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, obligation or
liability: (a) shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the
Eligible Lender Trustee, (b) shall arise from any breach by
the Eligible Lender Trustee of its covenants in its individual
capacity under any of the Basic Documents; or (c) shall arise

Trustee's choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the
approval of the Seller, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Eligible Lender Trustee and the termination of these Master Sale
Terms and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
litigation. 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

Any Person (a) into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, (b)

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, (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
5.1 Sale Agreement
-14-
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 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 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 Section 6 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 Seller will constitute the sole remedy available to 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, Seller shall remit such
amount to the Eligible Lender Trustee for the benefit of the Purchaser. Such
reconciliation payment shall be made from time to time but no less frequently
than semi-annually.
SECTION 12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF ELIGIBLE LENDER TRUSTEE
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, these Master
Sale Terms and any Sale Agreement have been signed by Chase Manhattan Bank USA,
National Association not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity
as Eligible Lender Trustee for the Purchaser and the Interim Eligible Lender
Trustee for the Seller, as the case may be, and in no event shall Chase
Manhattan Bank USA, National Association in its individual capacity, have any
liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other
obligations of the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee,
the Purchaser or of the Seller, respectively, under these Master Sale Terms or
any Sale Agreement 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 the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be.
SECTION 13. EXPENSES
Except as otherwise provided herein, each party to these Master Sale
Terms or any Sale Agreement shall pay its own expense incurred in connection
with the preparation, execution and delivery of these Master Sale Terms or any
Sale Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein or therein.
5.1 Sale Agreement

SECTION 14. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS/SUPERSESSION
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein
and in or pursuant to any Sale Agreements executed pursuant to these Master Sale
Terms shall survive the consummation of the purchase of the Loans provided for
in each Sale Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made or furnished pursuant hereto by or for the benefit of Seller
shall bind and inure to the benefit of any successors or assigns of Purchaser
and shall survive with respect to each Loan. Each Sale Agreement supersedes all
previous agreements and understandings between Purchaser and 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 Purchaser of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty
required to be made or furnished by Seller or the waiver by 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 Purchaser to insist upon the
performance by Seller 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 Seller or Purchaser, as the case may
be, addressed as set forth in the Sale Agreement or at such other address as
either party may hereafter designate by notice to the other party. Notice given
in any such communication, mailed to Seller or Purchaser by appropriately
addressed registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given on the day
following the date of such mailing.
SECTION 16. FORM OF INSTRUMENTS
All instruments and documents delivered in connection with these Master
Sale Terms and any Sale Agreement, and all proceedings to be taken in connection
with these Master Sale Terms and any Sale Agreement and the transactions
contemplated herein and therein, shall be in a form as set forth in the
attachments hereto, and Purchaser shall have received copies of such documents
as it or its counsel shall reasonably request in connection therewith. Any
instrument or document which is substantially in the same form as an Attachment
hereto or a recital herein will be deemed to be satisfactory as to form.
SECTION 17. AMENDMENT
These Master Sale Terms and any Sale Agreement may be amended by the
parties 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 of such Master Sale Terms and Sale Agreements or of modifying in any
manner the rights of such Noteholders; provided that such

Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interest of any such Noteholder.
In addition, these Master Sale Terms and any Sale Agreement may also be
amended from time to time by the Seller, the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee,
the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Purchaser, 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 of these Master Sale Terms or any Sale
Agreement 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 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
Eligible Lender 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 7.1(i)(i)
of the Administration Agreement. The Eligible Lender Trustee may, but shall not
be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Eligible Lender
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

Notwithstanding any prior termination of these Master Sale Terms,
Seller and the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall not acquiesce, petition or
otherwise invoke or cause Purchaser to invoke the process of any court or
government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against
Purchaser under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or
appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or
