(iv) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(v) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) any failure of the Servicer to make any P&I Advance on any Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 5:00 p.m. New York time on first Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trust Administrator or the Trustee (in which case notice shall be provided by telecopy). If a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer (and to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator if given by the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as a Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur and shall not have been remedied during the applicable time period set forth in clause (vi) above, the Trust Administrator shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as a Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trust Administrator pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trust Administrator is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of and at the expense of the Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trust Administrator with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trust Administrator in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the Trust Administrator for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property serviced by the Servicer (provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of P&I Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, assigned to and working in the Trustee’s or the Trust Administrator’s Corporate Trust Office, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.

Upon any such waiver of a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Liability of the Depositor and the Master Servicer The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master Servicer herein.
Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Others Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 and, on the Distribution Date(s) following such reimbursement, the aggregate of such expenses and costs shall be allocated in reduction of the Accrued Certificate Interest on each Class entitled thereto in the same manner as if such expenses and costs constituted a Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
