Without limitation of the foregoing, any provision of the Servicing Agreement requiring the Purchaser to reimburse the Seller for any costs or expenses shall be satisfied by the Seller’s reimbursement of such costs or expenses from the Custodial Account.
Warranties
GCFP, CHL and Countrywide Servicing mutually warrant and represent that, with respect to the Serviced Loans, the Servicing Agreement is in full force and effect as of the date hereof and has not been amended or modified in any way with respect to the Serviced Loans and no notice of termination has been given thereunder.
