Notwithstanding such variances, we intend this letter to apply, with same effect, to all the Sale Agreements for the transactions identified on Exhibit 1 hereto, except if such variances are material, in which case the parties hereto will consider in good faith how to implement the intent termination of this letter to such variances if the need arises. We confirm that we view any actions taken by the Trustee in connection with its entry into the settlement in respect of Mortgage Loan repurchase and other alleged claims against the Sellers and Master Servicer relating to the transactions identified on Exhibit 1 hereto (the “Settlement”), including but not limited to the Trustee’s participation in settlement negotiations, the Trustee’s analysis of the Settlement, the filing by the Trustee of any petition in connection with the Settlement, the provision of notices concerning the Settlement to interested parties (including investors), and any further actions by the Trustee in support of the Settlement, including the response by the Trustee to any objections to the Settlement and any implementation of the Settlement by the Trustee (such actions together being the “Trustee Settlement Activities”) as being actions that, for purposes of the Indemnity, relate to the Sale Agreements, the applicable securities, or the performance of the Trustee’s duties under the Sale Agreements. We also confirm that the manner of entering into the Settlement or undertaking the activities to prepare therefor or contemplated thereby will not serve to disqualify the Trustee from receiving the benefits of the Indemnity or the Guaranty. We also confirm that we view the Institutional Investor Agreement and any letter or other correspondence from the investors or their counsel which requests that the Trustee take the Trustee Settlement Activities, or any portion thereof, as not being the equivalent of a direction from the investors for purposes of the Indemnity. We further confirm that neither the receipt by the Trustee of any such letter or other correspondence nor the entry by the Trustee into the Institutional Investor Agreement will disqualify the Trustee from receiving the benefit of either the Indemnity or the Guaranty. Finally, we note that the Indemnity also provides, with certain exceptions expressly provided for, that “the Master Servicer covenants and agrees . . . to pay or reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of [the Sale Agreement] with respect to (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the [applicable securities], (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant, engineer or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage such persons to perform acts or services [under the Sale Agreement] and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive [securities].”2 We confirm that we view reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances otherwise within the Indemnity, if incurred or made by the Trustee in connection with the Trustee Settlement Activities, as being reimbursable by the Master Servicer under the Indemnity. Without limiting any of the foregoing, we confirm that following the entry by the Trustee into the Settlement, Bank of America Corporation, BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP, Countrywide Financial Corporation and/or Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee for Trustee Settlement Activities (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) on a current and ongoing basis (including all accrued 2 We note that the language referenced in this letter may vary in certain ways in the Sale Agreements.
