Interpretive and Additional Provisions In connection with the operation of this Agreement, the Custodian and each Fund on behalf of each of the Portfolios, may from time to time agree on such provisions interpretive of or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement as may in their joint opinion be consistent with the general tenor of this Agreement. Any such interpretive or additional provisions shall be in a writing signed by all parties and shall be annexed hereto, provided that no such interpretive or additional provisions shall contravene any applicable federal or state regulations or any provision of a Fund’s Governing Documents. No interpretive or additional provisions made as provided in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be an amendment of this Agreement.
Amendments to Servicing Agreements, Modification of Standard Provisions (a) Subject to the prior written consent of the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.07(b), the Master Servicer from time to time may, to the extent permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement, make such modifications and amendments to such Servicing Agreement as the Master Servicer deems necessary or appropriate to confirm or carry out more fully the intent and purpose of such Servicing Agreement and the duties, responsibilities and obligations to be performed by the Servicer thereunder. Such modifications may only be made if they are consistent with the REMIC Provisions, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel. Prior to the issuance of any modification or amendment, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee such Opinion of Counsel and an Officer's Certificate setting forth (i) the provision that is to be modified or amended, (ii) the modification or amendment that the Master Servicer desires to issue and (iii) the reason or reasons for such proposed amendment or modification.
(b) The Trustee shall consent to any amendment or supplement to a Servicing Agreement proposed by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(a), which consent and amendment shall not require the consent of any Certificateholder if it is (i) for the purpose of curing any mistake or ambiguity or to further effect or protect the rights of the Certificateholders or (ii) for any other purpose, provided such amendment or supplement for such other purpose cannot reasonably be expected to adversely affect Certificateholders. The lack of reasonable expectation of an adverse effect on Certificateholders may be established through the delivery to the Trustee of (i) an Opinion of Counsel to such effect or (ii) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not result in reduction of the current rating assigned by that Rating Agency to the Certificates. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, the Trustee may, in its discretion, decline to enter into or consent to any such supplement or amendment if its own rights, duties or immunities shall be adversely affected.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.07, the Master Servicer from time to time may, without the consent of any Certificateholder or the Trustee, enter into an amendment (A) to an Other Servicing Agreement for the purpose of (i) eliminating or reducing Month End Interest and (ii) providing for the remittance of Full Unscheduled Principal Receipts by the applicable Servicer to the Master Servicer not later than the 24th day of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the previous Business Day) or (B) to the WFHM Servicing Agreement for the purpose of changing the applicable Remittance Date to the 18th day of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the previous Business Day).
(ii) The Master Servicer may direct WFHM to enter into an amendment to the WFHM Servicing Agreement for the purposes described in Sections 3.07(c)(i)(B) and 10.01(b)(iii).

GENERAL PROVISIONS AND RECITALS 12 1. The parties agree that the terms used, but not otherwise defined below in Paragraph B, shall 13 have the same meaning given to such terms under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act 14 of 1996, Public Law 104-191 (“HIPAA”), the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical 15 Health Act, Public Law 111-005 (“the HITECH Act”), and their implementing regulations at 45 CFR Parts 16 160 and 164 (“the HIPAA regulations”) as they may exist now or be hereafter amended.
17 2. The parties agree that a business associate relationship under HIPAA, the HITECH Act, and 18 the HIPAA regulations between CONTRACTOR and COUNTY arises to the extent that CONTRACTOR 19 performs, or delegates to subcontractors to perform, functionsor activities on behalf of COUNTY pursuant 20 to, and as set forth in, the Contract that are described in the definition of “Business Associate” in 45 CFR 21 § 160.103.
22 3. COUNTY wishes to disclose to CONTRACTOR certain information pursuant to the terms of 23 the Contract, some of which may constitute Protected Health Information (“PHI”), as defined below in 24 Subparagraph B.10, to be used or disclosed in the course of providing services and activities pursuant to, 25 and as set forth, in the Contract.
26 4. The parties intend to protect the privacy and provide for the security of PHI that may be 27 created, received, maintained, transmitted, used, or disclosed pursuant to the Contract in compliance with 28 the applicable standards, implementation specifications, and requirements of HIPAA, the HITECH Act, 29 and the HIPAA regulations as they may exist now or be hereafter amended.
30 5. The parties understand and acknowledge that HIPAA, the HITECH Act, and the HIPAA 31 regulations do not pre-empt any state statutes, rules, or regulations that are not otherwise pre-empted by 32 other Federal law(s) and impose more stringent requirements with respect to privacy of PHI.
33 6. The parties understand that the HIPAA Privacy and Security rules, as defined below in 34 Subparagraphs B.9. and B.14., apply to CONTRACTOR in the same manner as they apply to a covered 35 entity (COUNTY). XXXXXXXXXX agrees therefore to be in compliance at all times with the terms of 36 this Business Associate Contract, as it exists now or be hereafter updated with notice to CONTRACTOR, 37 and the applicable standards, implementation specifications, and requirements of the Privacy and the 1 Security rules, as they may exist now or be hereafter amended, with respect to PHI and electronic PHI 2 created, received, maintained, transmitted, used, or disclosed pursuant to the Contract.
Resolution of Conflicts of Interest; Standards of Conduct and Modification of Duties (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Group Member Agreement, whenever a potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Partnership, any Group Member or any Partner, on the other, any resolution or course of action by the General Partner or its Affiliates in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Partners, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any Group Member Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by Special Approval, (ii) approved by the vote of a majority of the Common Units (excluding Common Units owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates), (iii) on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iv) fair and reasonable to the Partnership, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership). The General Partner shall be authorized but not required in connection with its resolution of such conflict of interest to seek Special Approval of such resolution, and the General Partner may also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval. If Special Approval is not sought and the Board of Directors of the General Partner determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (iii) or (iv) above, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Board of Directors of the General Partner acted in good faith, and in any proceeding brought by any Limited Partner or by or on behalf of such Limited Partner or any other Limited Partner or the Partnership challenging such approval, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or equity, the existence of the conflicts of interest described in the Registration Statement are hereby approved by all Partners and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
(b) Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership as opposed to in its individual capacity, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then, unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement, the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. In order for a determination or other action to be in “good faith” for purposes of this Agreement, the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action must believe that the determination or other action is in the best interests of the Partnership, unless the context otherwise requires.
(c) Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its individual capacity as opposed to in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, are entitled to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any fiduciary duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership, any Limited Partner, and the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall not be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. By way of illustration and not of limitation, whenever the phrase, “at the option of the General Partner,” or some variation of that phrase, is used in this Agreement, it indicates that the General Partner is acting in its individual capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the General Partner votes or transfers its Partnership Interests, or refrains from voting or transferring its Partnership Interests, it shall be acting in its individual capacity.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no duty or obligation, express or implied, to (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Partnership Group other than in the ordinary course of business or (ii) permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the General Partner and its Affiliates, except as may be provided in contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use. Any determination by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates to enter into such contracts shall be at its option.
(e) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Partnership or any Limited Partner and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the General Partner or any other Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner or such other Indemnitee.
(f) The Unitholders hereby authorize the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership as a partner or member of a Group Member, to approve of actions by the general partner or managing member of such Group Member similar to those actions permitted to be taken by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.9.
