The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the related Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the related Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest-bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
