Such successor trustee so appointed shall forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment become the successor trustee and supersede the successor trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of the Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, subject to Section 514, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

Master Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor (a) Within 90 days of the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 5.01, the Master Servicer (or other named successor) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof or shall appoint a successor pursuant to Section 2.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the parties hereto agree that the Master Servicer, in its capacity as successor Servicer, immediately will assume all of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, (ii) the Master Servicer, in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts and (iii) under no circumstances shall any provision of this Agreement be construed to require the Master Servicer, acting in its capacity as successor to the Servicer in its obligation to advance, expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that such funds are non-recoverable. Subject to Section 5.02(b), as compensation therefor, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to such compensation as the terminated Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the successor to the terminated Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that any such institution appointed as successor Servicer shall not, as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency, adversely affect the then current rating of any Class of Certificates immediately prior to the termination of the terminated Servicer. The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer, nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. Pending appointment of a successor to the terminated Servicer hereunder, unless the Master Servicer is prohibited by law from so acting, the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity as provided above. The Master Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the Trust.
(b) In connection with the appointment of a successor Servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Servicer, as specified in Section 5.02(a), the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such successor agree.
(c) Any successor, including the Master Servicer, to the Servicer as servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer maintain in force (i) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as servicer hereunder and (ii) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 2.03.
