Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents (a) Subject to this Section 3.21, the Servicer may agree to any modification, waiver, forbearance, or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan without the consent of the Trustee or any Certificateholder. All modifications, waivers, forbearances or amendments of any Mortgage Loan shall be in writing and shall be consistent with Customary Servicing Procedures. (b) The Servicer shall not agree to enter into, and shall not enter into, any modification, waiver (other than a waiver referred to in Section 3.13, which waiver, if any, shall be governed by Section 3.13), forbearance or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan if such modification, waiver, forbearance, or amendment would: (i) affect the amount or timing of any related payment of principal, interest or other amount payable thereunder; (ii) in the Servicer's judgment, materially impair the security for such Mortgage Loan or reduce the likelihood of timely payment of amounts due thereon; or (iii) otherwise constitute a "significant modification" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b); unless, in either case, (A) such Mortgage Loan is 90 days or more past due or (B) the Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment would not affect the REMIC status of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC and, in either case, such modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery with respect to such Mortgage Loan than would liquidation. Subject to Customary Servicing Procedures, the Servicer may permit a forbearance for a Mortgage Loan which in the Servicer's judgment is subject to imminent default. (c) Any payment of interest, which is deferred pursuant to any modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment permitted hereunder, shall not, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or such modification, waiver or amendment so permit. (d) The Servicer may, as a condition to granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment, the granting of which is within the Servicer's discretion pursuant to the Mortgage Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such Mortgagor pay to the Servicer, as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request, together with any related costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer, which amount shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. (e) The Servicer shall notify the Trustee, in writing, of any modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Trustee (or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Custodian) for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment, promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) following the execution thereof; provided, however, that if any such modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment is required by applicable law to be recorded, the Servicer (i) shall deliver to the Trustee a copy thereof and (ii) shall deliver to the Trustee such document, with evidence of notification upon receipt thereof from the public recording office.
