Unless otherwise provided in the related Terms Indenture, the Issuer shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by a servicer, a master servicer, a special servicer, an MBS administrator or a REMIC administrator under such Servicing and Administration Agreement and shall not be obligated to supervise the performance of any such party thereunder.

(iv) Not later than the later of (i) ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an S&A Event of Default under such Servicing and Administration Agreement and (ii) five days after a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has notice of the occurrence of such an event, the Indenture Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Issuer and all Holders of Bonds of the related Series notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been remedied. Unless otherwise provided in the related Terms Indenture, at the direction of the Holders of Bonds representing more than 50% of the aggregate Principal Amount of the related Series, the Indenture Trustee shall terminate the rights and obligations of the defaulting party under such Servicing and Administration Agreement as and to the extent permitted thereby and shall, subject to the last sentence of Section 3.15(d)(iii), succeed the defaulting party in whatever capacity it served under such Servicing and Administration Agreement.

(ii) The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee also may enter into any amendment of such Servicing and Administration Agreement from time to time, with the consent of the Holders of Bonds of the related Series representing more than 50% of the aggregate Principal Amount (or, in the case of a Class of Interest Only Bonds, the aggregate Notional Amount) of each Class of the related Series, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of such Servicing and Administration Agreement; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (x) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments, collections and/or distributions received or advanced on Mortgage Collateral which are required to be paid on any Bond without the consent of the Holder of such Bond, or (y) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of the related Series in a manner other than as described in clause (x) above without the consent of each and every Holder of Bonds of such Class. For purposes of giving the consents contemplated by this Section 3.15(d)(ii), Bonds held by the Issuer, the Depositor and any Affiliate thereof will be given the same regard as Bonds held by any other Person.

For purposes of giving the consents contemplated by this Section 3.15(d)(ii), Bonds held by the Issuer, the Depositor and any Affiliate thereof will be given the same regard as Bonds held by any other Person.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such item of Mortgage Collateral is included in a REMIC Pool, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Issuer shall consent to any amendment to such Servicing and Administration Agreement unless it shall first have obtained or been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to any party to such Servicing and Administration Agreement in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any related REMIC Pool.
(iv) Promptly after the execution and delivery of any amendment of such Servicing and Administration Agreement by all parties thereto, the Indenture Trustee shall send a copy thereof to each Holder of a Bond of the related Series.
(v) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Bondholders under this Section 3.15(d) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization, execution and delivery thereof by Bondholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.
(vi) The Indenture Trustee may but shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment of such Servicing and Administration Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.15(d) that affects its rights, duties and immunities thereunder or under this Indenture.
