(iii) Neither the execution nor the delivery by it of these Master Terms and each Purchase Agreement, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby nor compliance by it with any of the terms or provisions hereof or thereof will contravene any federal or Delaware state law, governmental rule or regulation governing the banking or trust powers of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee or any judgment or order binding on it, or constitute any default under its charter documents or by-laws or any indenture, mortgage, contract, agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound; and

SECTION 6.
|
REPURCHASE OF TRUST STUDENT LOANS; REIMBURSEMENT
|
(A) Each party to these Master Terms shall give notice to the other parties promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of SLM ECFC’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 5(A) and (B) hereof which has a materially adverse effect on the interest of Funding 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, SLM ECFC 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 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, SLM ECFC shall purchase such Trust Student Loan from Funding (or, at the direction of Funding, from the Trust) not later than the sixtieth day following the end of such 360-day period. SLM ECFC 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), SLM ECFC 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 SLM ECFC 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 Funding to repay such interest to a Guarantor), or the loss (including any obligation of Funding to repay the Department) of Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments, with respect to any Trust Student Loan affected by such breach, then SLM ECFC shall reimburse Funding 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 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 SLM ECFC 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, SLM ECFC shall not be required to reimburse Funding 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 SLM ECFC or the Servicer, exceeds 1% of the Pool Balance, SLM ECFC (or the Servicer as provided in the Servicing Agreement) shall purchase, within 30 days of a written request of 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 SLM ECFC and the Servicer 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), SLM ECFC 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 Consolidation Loan or Subsidized Consolidation Loan),
|
|
3.
|
guarantee percentage,
|
|
4.
|
school type,
|
|
5.
|
total return,
|
|
6.
|
principal balance, and
|
|
7.
|
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), SLM ECFC shall make a reasonable determination that the Eligible Loans to be substituted will not have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders. In connection with each substitution a Purchase Agreement and related Xxxx of Sale regarding such Substituted Loans will be executed and delivered by the applicable parties.
In the event that SLM ECFC elects to substitute Eligible Loans pursuant to this Section 6(B), SLM ECFC 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. SLM ECFC shall also remit to Funding (or, at the direction of Funding, to the Trust) 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 Funding, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Noteholders with respect to a breach by SLM ECFC pursuant to Sections 5(A) and (B) hereof shall be to require SLM ECFC to purchase such Trust Student Loans, to reimburse Funding as provided in Section 6(A) above or to substitute Eligible Loans pursuant to Section 6(B) above. 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 forfeiture of Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance Payments pursuant to this Section 6.
|
SECTION 7.
|
OBLIGATION TO REMIT SUBSEQUENT PAYMENTS

Within two (2) Business Days following the date of receipt, SLM ECFC shall remit to Funding an amount equal to any such payments along with a listing on a form provided by Funding identifying the Purchased Loans with respect to which such payments were made, the amount of each such payment and the date each such payment was received.
(B) Any written communication received at any time by SLM ECFC with respect to any Loan subject to these Master Terms or the related Purchase Agreement shall be transmitted by SLM ECFC to the Servicer within two (2) Business Days of receipt. Such communications shall include, but not be limited to, letters, notices of death or disability, notices of bankruptcy, forms requesting deferment of repayment or loan cancellation, and like documents.

SLM ECFC shall provide all reasonable assistance necessary for Funding 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 period SLM ECFC owned the related Purchased Loan, or (b) a payment made or alleged to have been made to SLM ECFC. Further, SLM ECFC agrees to reasonably cooperate in the preparation and filing of any financing statements at the request of Funding in order to reflect Funding’s interest in the Loans.
|

(iii) SLM ECFC shall be liable as primary obligor for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee in its individual capacity and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against, all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, obligations and liabilities arising out of, incurred in connection with or relating to these Master Terms, the other Basic Documents, the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties set forth herein and in the Sale Agreement or the action or the inaction of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee hereunder, except to the extent that 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 Interim Eligible Lender Trustee, (b) shall arise from any breach by the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee of its covenants in its individual capacity made under any of the Basic Documents; or (c) shall arise from the breach by the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee of any of its representations or warranties made in its individual capacity set forth in these Master Terms or any Purchase Agreement. In the event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this paragraph, the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee’s choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of SLM ECFC, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Indemnification under this Section 9 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the termination of these Master Terms, and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If SLM ECFC shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to SLM ECFC, without interest.

|
SECTION 11.
|
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF SLM ECFC AND OTHERS
|
SLM ECFC 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 SLM ECFC’s obligations under Section 6). SLM ECFC 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 Terms 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 SLM ECFC will constitute the sole remedy available to Funding 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 of the Purchased Loans listed on the related Xxxx of Sale is less than the aggregate Principal Balance stated on the related Xxxx of Sale, SLM ECFC shall remit such amount to the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee, for the benefit of and on behalf of Funding. Such reconciliation payment shall be made from time to time but no less frequently than semi-annually.

The waiver by Funding of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty required to be made or furnished by SLM ECFC or the waiver by Funding 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 Funding to insist upon the performance by SLM ECFC in strict accordance with said terms.
