No Transfer or Assignment of Servicing With respect to the responsibility of the Primary Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Primary Servicer acknowledges that the Master Servicer has acted in reliance upon the Primary Servicer’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 3.05 of this Agreement, the Primary Servicer shall not either assign or transfer this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Master Servicer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Primary Servicer may transfer and assign this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Primary Servicer so long as the conditions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (v) of the second paragraph of Section 3.02 of this Agreement are satisfied in connection with such transfer and assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any assignment or transfer by the Primary Servicer of this Agreement or the servicing hereunder (the “Primary Servicing Rights”), the Primary Servicer shall allow the Master Servicer an opportunity to bid on the purchase of such Primary Servicing Rights. The Primary Servicer may also solicit bids from any other parties independent of the Primary Servicer.
