Section 11.33. Use of Subservicers and Subcontractors.
The Seller shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any
Subservicer to fulfill any of the obligations of the Seller as servicer
under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement unless the Seller
complies with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section. The Seller
shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any
12
Subcontractor, and shall not permit any Subservicer to hire or otherwise
utilize the services of any Subcontractor, to fulfill any of the
obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement or any
Reconstitution Agreement unless the Seller complies with the provisions of
paragraph (b) of this Section.
(a) It shall not be necessary for the Seller to seek the consent of
the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor to the utilization of
any Subservicer. The Seller shall cause any Subservicer used by the Seller
(or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor
to comply with the provisions of this Section, Section 11.24 and 11.32 and
Subsections 12.03, 12.04(c), (e), (f) and (g), and 12.05 of the Agreement
to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Seller, and to provide
the information required with respect to such Subservicer under Subsection

Depositor, such as an administrator) a written description (in form and
substance satisfactory to the Purchaser, such Depositor and such Master
Servicer) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the
Seller or any Subservicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such
Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are
"participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122
of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will
be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor
identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.
As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to
be "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item
1122 of Regulation AB, the Seller shall cause any such Subcontractor used
by the Seller (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and
any Depositor to comply with the provisions of Section 11.32 and Subsection
12.05 of the Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the
Seller. The Seller shall be responsible for obtaining from each
Subcontractor and delivering to the Purchaser and any Depositor any
assessment of compliance and attestation and the other certifications
required to be delivered by such Subservicer and such Subcontractor under
Section 11.32, in each case as and when required to be delivered."
