With the consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights. Notwithstanding any inconsistent or contrary provision of this Agreement, neither any Interim Subservicer nor any Interim Servicing Agreement shall be subject to the foregoing provisions during the Interim Servicing Period for any related Mortgage Loan.

Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by the Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be precluded from selling all or part of the Servicing Fee relating to any Mortgage Loans to any Sub-Servicer, provided that with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer sells all or a part of the related Servicing Fee, the Master Servicer shall retain full responsibility under this Agreement for the servicing activities relating to such Mortgage Loan.

Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers, which may be Affiliates of the Servicer, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangement contemplated hereunder. The Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement. No such acknowledgment shall be deemed to imply that the Trustee has consented to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement, has passed upon whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement or has passed upon whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement is otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub- Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer.

The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any variation in any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub- Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.
Advances by the Master Servicer; Distribution Reports to the Trustee (a) To the extent described below, the Master Servicer is obligated to advance its own funds to the Certificate Account to cover any shortfall between (i) payments scheduled to be received in respect of Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the amounts actually deposited in the Certificate Account on account of such payments. The Master Servicer's obligation to make any advance or advances described in this Section 4.02 is effective only to the extent that such advance is, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer made on or before the second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, reimbursable from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loans or recoverable as late Monthly Payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise. Prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether or not it will make a Monthly P&I Advance on the Business Day prior to such Distribution Date (in the event that the applicable Servicer fails to make such advances) and shall furnish a written statement to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, if any, and to any Certificateholder requesting the same, setting forth the aggregate amount to be advanced on account of principal and interest in respect of the Mortgage Loans, stated separately. In the event that the Master Servicer shall be required to make a Monthly P&I Advance, it shall on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such Monthly P&I Advance, (ii) make an appropriate entry in the records of the Certificate Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 4.02, used by the Master Servicer to make such Monthly P&I Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Monthly P&I Advance. Any funds being held for future distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding any future Distribution Date to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on such Distribution Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required to be made on such date with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Under each Selling and Servicing Contract, the Master Servicer is entitled to receive from the Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the Servicers amounts received by the applicable Servicers on particular Mortgage Loans as late payments of principal and interest or as Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds and respecting which the Master Servicer has made an unreimbursed advance of principal and interest. The Master Servicer is also entitled to receive other amounts from the related Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the Servicers to reimburse itself for prior Nonrecoverable Advances respecting Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicers. The Master Servicer shall deposit these amounts in the Investment Account prior to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05. In accordance with Section 3.05, Monthly P&I Advances are reimbursable to the Master Servicer from cash in the Investment Account or the Certificate Account to the extent that the Master Servicer shall determine that any such advances previously made are Nonrecoverable Advances pursuant to Section 4.03.
Back-up Servicing In the event that Santander Consumer is the Servicer, and (i) the long-term unsecured debt rating by Moody’s of Banco Santander, S.A. falls below “Baa3” (a “Ratings Trigger Event”) or (ii) Banco Santander, S.A. ceases to directly or indirectly own at least 50% of the common stock of Santander Consumer (an “Ownership Trigger Event”), Santander Consumer shall have in place a back-up servicing arrangement consistent with Moody’s published ratings criteria at the time of the Ratings Trigger Event or Ownership Trigger Event, as applicable, within 90 days of such Ratings Trigger Event or Ownership Trigger Event, respectively, unless it shall be acceptable to Moody’s at such time, or otherwise satisfy the Rating Agency Condition with respect to Moody’s, for Santander Consumer not to have in place a back-up servicing arrangement or to deviate from such published criteria.

ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER AND SERVICERS SECTION 5.01 Advances by the Master Servicer and Servicers. With respect to the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, each Servicer shall deposit in the related Collection Account as Advances, an amount equal to all Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the related Servicing Fee Rate) which were due on such Non-Designated Mortgage Loans serviced by it during the applicable Collection Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date; provided, however, that with respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, the related Servicer will not be required to advance the related balloon payment but will be required to continue to make advances in accordance with this Section 5.01 with respect to such Balloon Loan in an amount equal to (a) for each Servicer, other than WMMSC, an assumed scheduled payment that would otherwise be due based on the original amortization schedule for that Mortgage Loan and (b) for WMMSC, one month’s interest on the outstanding principal balance at the applicable Mortgage Rate, to the extent the related Servicer deems such amount to be recoverable. Each Servicer’s obligation to make such Advances as to any related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in full of such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, or through the date that the related Mortgaged Property has, in the judgment of such Servicer, been completely liquidated. No Servicer shall be required to advance shortfalls of principal or interest resulting from the application of the Relief Act. With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, if the amount of Advances received from a Servicer, other than WMMSC, is less than the amount required to be advanced by such Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to remit to the Trust Administrator, for deposit by the Trust Administrator in the Certificate Account, a payment in an amount equal to such deficiency, subject to any determination by the Master Servicer that any portion of the amount required to be advanced is a Nonrecoverable Advance. With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, to the extent required by Accepted Servicing Practices, the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be obligated to make Advances in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such obligation with respect to any related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan shall cease if the Master Servicer or a Servicer determines, in its reasonable opinion, that Advances with respect to such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer or such Servicer determines that any such advances are Nonrecoverable Advances, the Master Servicer or such Servicer shall provide the Trust Administrator with a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer evidencing such determination. Upon the Trust Administrator’s receipt of such certificate, the Trust Administrator shall send a copy of such certificate to the Trustee. With respect to any of the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, if an Advance is required to be made hereunder by a Servicer, such Servicer shall on the Cash Remittance Date either (i) deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.01, used by such Servicer to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any such funds being held in a Collection Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by such Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such Collection Account, or from other funds in the Collection Account being held for future distributions, on or before any future Distribution Date in which such funds would be due. With respect to any Designated Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall make Advances as required by Section 3.20(b) of this Agreement.
