If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior to the Mortgage Loan on the related Mort gaged Property as of the Cut-Off Date, then the Servicer, in such capacity, may consent to the refinancing of such senior lien; PROVIDED that (i) the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Rat...
The Servicer. (a) It is intended that the Trust formed hereunder shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust shall be conducted so as to qualify each REMIC as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" ("REMIC") as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intentions, the Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of either REMIC.

The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of the appointment of any Subservicer. Any such Subservicing Agreement shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor subservicer which qualifies hereunder.
