Section 1.23 Transfer of Servicing.

Such cooperation shall include without limitation the preparation, execution and delivery of any and all documents and other instruments reasonably required to transfer servicing to the successor servicer, and the transfer to a successor servicer designated by Position Holder Trust for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be held by Servicer or thereafter received with respect to the Policies or Sold Assets, as the case may be. Servicer agrees to transfer, at or prior to the transfer of servicing, to Position Holder Trust or to a successor servicer, as directed by Position Holder Trust, copies of its electronic records and all other records (which shall be in readable form and, as to the data produced thereby, in pdf format and Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel format if available), and original correspondence and documents (to the extent in Servicer’s possession and not otherwise available electronically) relating to the Policies (or the Sold Assets) in the manner and at such times as Position Holder Trust or its designee shall reasonably request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to complete the transfer. Upon its determination that servicing transfer has been completed (which may not be earlier, if such transfer of servicing occurs due to a sale of a Policy, than the date such sale closes), Position Holder Trust shall tender a notice (the “Transfer Completion Notice”) and upon receipt thereof by the Servicer, the Servicer shall no longer be obligated to service the relevant Policy (or Sold Asset) hereunder. Servicer shall continue to receive fees from Position Holder Trust prior to and during the transfer of servicing under this Section until its receipt of the Transfer Completion Notice. In the event that Position Holder Trust requests any additional services from Servicer after Servicer has received the Transfer Completion Notice, it shall be entitled to charge commercially reasonable fees for such services.

(a) At any time and from time to time, Position Holder Trust may designate a backup servicer (the “Backup Servicer”) to perform the Services to be provided by Servicer under this Agreement, and Position Holder Trust shall give Servicer written notice of its designation of any Backup Servicer. Upon the Backup Servicer receiving written notice from Position Holder Trust that a Servicer Event of Default has occurred under this Agreement and
Servicing Agreement | 10 |
Substantially Final Form
10/21/16
that the Backup Servicer is required to serve as primary Servicer under this Agreement, the Backup Servicer will become Servicer hereunder.
(b) The Backup Servicer as successor Servicer shall perform only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, or as may be otherwise agreed between the Backup Servicer and Position Holder Trust, it being expressly understood by all parties hereto that there are not and shall not be any implied duties or obligations of the Backup Servicer to Servicer hereunder.
(c) Upon the receipt by the Backup Servicer of a notice of termination of the Servicer as initial Servicer and assumption of the Servicer’s obligations, all authority and power of the initial Servicer shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer as Servicer; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed, breaches or defaults caused by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer (provided that the Backup Servicer or the successor Servicer shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable), (iii) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including the initial Servicer, (iv) no obligations to perform advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer unless it elects to do so in its sole discretion, and (v) no obligations to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the representations and warranties of the initial Servicer in this Agreement shall not apply to the Backup Servicer, as successor Servicer.
(d) The Backup Servicer as successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all accounting records (including computer records) and work product of the prior Servicer hereunder without any audit or other examination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Backup Servicer, as successor Servicer, is not responsible for the accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer (collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”). If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exist in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer shall have no liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent Continued Errors. In the event that the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors. The Backup Servicer as successor Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended.
(e) Servicer agrees to cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts in effecting the transition of the responsibilities and rights hereunder. In addition, Servicer agrees to cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts in providing at the Servicer’s expense the Backup Servicer, as successor Servicer, with reasonable access (including at the premises of
Servicing Agreement | 11 |

Servicer) to Servicer’s employees, and any and all of the books, records (in electronic or other form) or other information reasonably requested by it to enable the Backup Servicer, as successor Servicer, to assume the servicing functions hereunder.
(f) The Backup Servicer as successor Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do so or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination or to perform the duties of Servicer. Servicer will provide Backup Servicer, as successor Servicer, with a Power of Attorney stating such.
(g) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Backup Servicer (in such capacity or in its capacity as successor Servicer) to incur any out-of-pocket expenses if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that reimbursement of such expenses is not reasonably assured to it.
Section 1.25 Insurance Requirements. Servicer shall maintain insurance (and provide a copy of such insurance policy to Position Holder Trust) substantially in the form annexed hereto as Schedule XIX or in such other form as Position Holder Trust may approve (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld) with respect to its operations and property and with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and otherwise with respect to the Policies, including without limitation errors and omissions insurance in the amount of $5,000,000 per claim and $10,000,000 in the aggregate for any one year.
Section 1.26 Indemnification by Servicer.

In the event the Position Holder Trust Indemnified Parties disagree with Servicer’s decision not to pursue the defense of a Position Holder Trust Claim, the Position Holder Trust Indemnified Parties may elect to take over such defense at their own cost. Servicer will assist fully in any defense of a Position Holder Trust Claim regardless of who is covering the costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Servicer shall not be entitled to assume control and will not be responsible for covering the costs of the defense of any claim if: (w) the claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation against Position Holder Trust; (x) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against Position Holder Trust; (y) there is a reasonable likelihood of a conflict of interest between Servicer and Position Holder Trust; or (z) on petition by Position Holder Trust,

(a) exercise at least the same degree of skill and care used by persons of established reputation responsible for servicing policies like the Policies, and other assets of the type included within the Policies (and in any event at least the same degree of care as Servicer would exercise with respect to comparable assets (i) held for its own account or the account of any of its principals or affiliates or (ii) serviced for any other third-party client);
(b) adhere to the information security requirements set forth in Schedule XIX hereof; and
(c) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, perform such obligations in a manner that satisfies all applicable laws and regulations, including licensing, collection, use and dissemination of personal identifying and medical information, privacy (including without limitation requirements under all applicable health insurance and life settlement laws and regulations), regulatory reporting and record keeping requirements (the foregoing (a), (b) and this subsection (c), collectively referred to herein as the “Servicing Standard”).
Servicer agrees to maintain a staff of competent and trained personnel and sufficient equipment and supplies to perform the activities covered by this Agreement in accordance with the standards required by this Agreement, including without limitation assuring the integrity of data provided to it and by maintaining written policies and procedures which will cover, among other compliance topics, data privacy issues. The fact that Servicer has performed its obligations in accordance with the Servicing Standard shall not serve as a defense to liability for a lapse in any Policy resulting, directly or indirectly, from failure to timely provide premium calculations or verify receipt and application of premium payments. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Servicer shall not be liable for any failure to meet its obligations hereunder if such failure is outside of its control and not resultant from or triggered by Servicer’s failure to comport with the Servicing Standard, including the refusal of any Insurer, Insured or trustee to cooperate with requests of Servicer after diligent and repeated attempts to obtain such information or providing an explanation to Position Holder Trust of why additional attempts would not be effective.
Section 1.28 Changes in Law; Inquiries and Proceedings; Litigation and Arbitration. Servicer agrees to keep informed of and comply in all material respects with applicable laws relating to the performance of Servicer of its duties and obligations under this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement, Servicer agrees promptly to notify Position Holder Trust of any material change in applicable law of which Servicer becomes aware, and advise Position Holder Trust of such measures it believes Position Holder Trust should implement in connection with the Policy. Likewise, to the extent to which any governmental or regulatory entity initiates an inquiry or proceeding that affects any Policy, during the term of this Agreement Servicer agrees promptly to notify Position Holder Trust of such governmental or regulatory inquiry or proceeding promptly after receiving notice thereof. To the extent there is
Servicing Agreement | 13 |
Substantially Final Form

any inquiry, proceeding, litigation or arbitration associated with a Policy (each of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), whether initiated by Position Holder Trust against a third party or by a third party, during the term of this Agreement, Servicer shall assist Position Holder Trust in prosecuting or defending such action, as the case may be, to the same extent as it would were such action brought directly by or against Servicer, and shall assist with the production of any material relevant to the action as it may have in its possession. Position Holder Trust will reimburse Servicer for any third party costs it may incur in connection with complying with the foregoing obligation unless such costs are the obligation of Servicer under Section 1.22.
Section 1.29 Confidentiality. Without limiting the requirements of Section 8.1(d) below, Servicer agrees that (i) all of the Portfolio Related Information is confidential, and that, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, it will not disclose any Portfolio Related Information without the prior written consent of Position Holder Trust, (ii) it will not use, or permit the use, of any of the Portfolio Related Information for any purpose other than the proper performance and discharge of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, and (iii), in any event, it will comport with the Servicing Standard (in particular, but not by way of limitation, with clause (b) thereof) in making any such use or permitted disclosure of any of the Portfolio Related Information; provided, that, Servicer may transmit such information relating to an Insured or the Policy under which he or she is the Insured as may be reasonably requested in writing by the Insured to such Insured or his or her agents or representatives, and if any such request is made, Servicer shall promptly (and in any event prior to the disclosure of such information) provide a copy of the written request to Position Holder Trust.
Section 1.30 Access to Records. Servicer will grant Position Holder Trust, and its agents and advisors, including counsel and independent public accountants, access to Servicer’s electronic and hard copy books of account, records, reports and other papers of Servicer with respect to the Policies and its performance of its Services hereunder, including, but not limited to, the Available Information, all of which shall at all times be owned by Position Holder Trust, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to discuss Servicer’s affairs, finances and accounts (including the current state of Servicer’s technology platform and related systems and procedures, including information backup, disaster recovery, and security firewalls and protocols) with its executive officers and employees, all at such times as may be reasonably requested and at Position Holder Trust’s expense, but not more often than once each calendar quarter, for the sole purpose of reviewing or evaluating Servicer’s performance of its duties and obligations hereunder. In connection therewith, the Servicer shall furnish to such agents and advisors such space and support services as may be reasonably required, which will consist of an office with telephone and internet access. All such records included in the definition of Portfolio Related Information shall remain sole property of Position Holder Trust and shall be returned to Position Holder Trust upon termination of this Agreement or upon earlier request. In lieu of such visits and inspections, Position Holder Trust may request, and Servicer shall provide, copies of such books and records upon reasonable notice. Position Holder Trust shall be an express third party beneficiary of all agreements entered into by Servicer relating to the storage, recovery or security of any of the Portfolio Related Information.

(a) Servicer shall maintain a robust system of internal control and quality control to ensure an effective discharge of the Servicer’s obligations and duties under this Agreement. Servicer shall provide Position Holder Trust with quarterly reports, and if need be and at Position Holder Trust’s expense ad hoc reports, on the state of its internal and quality controls related to the Policies. These reports should allow Position Holder Trust to assess the status of these controls and should also provide insight of identified issues and related action plans developed to address these issues.

For the avoidance of doubt, such audits shall be limited to the Servicer’s obligations and duties under this Agreement and shall not include the audits of the annual accounts of Servicer or information related in any way to Servicer’s other clients.
(c) Servicer shall ensure that Position Holder Trust (or its auditors and its compliance personnel) will upon their reasonable request be provided with any information and documents which are related to the Servicer’s obligations and duties under this Agreement. Position Holder Trust shall, in order to prevent or minimize any potential impairment or disruption of Servicer operations or distraction of Servicer personnel, instruct its auditing personnel to (i) announce such an audit reasonably in advance, in writing and describing its objectives (ii) conduct such audit during regular business hours and discuss logistical issues collaboratively, (iii) engage the Servicer in discussion on objectives and scope of the audit and (iv) strive to restrict such internal audit exercises to at most twice over any twelve-month rolling period. Extra audits, although normally not envisaged, may be contemplated if events so require. The internal auditors of Position Holder Trust and/or its affiliates will be bound by their professional confidentiality requirements. Position Holder Trust shall also advise its external auditors to restrict their interventions to the required minimum and in line with the abovementioned specifications for internal audit, but cannot unilaterally define the activities and requirements of its external auditor.
(d) During such audits, Servicer shall provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Position Holder Trust, its auditors and its compliance personnel, subject to reimbursement by Position Holder Trust to Servicer of all reasonable, related Out-of-Pocket expenses. Servicer shall also ensure cooperation between its auditors (whether internal or external auditors) and Position Holder Trust, its auditors and its compliance personnel in such a manner that Position Holder Trust, its auditors and compliance personnel will obtain any

information required to perform their auditing and inspection duties. To the extent necessary to comply with this provision, Servicer’s auditors shall not be subject to, or will be released by Servicer from, any confidentiality obligation they may owe to Servicer.
(e) The auditing and inspection rights under this Section remain valid for one year following termination of this Agreement, starting from the end of Servicer’s financial year in which the Agreement is terminated. Servicer shall ensure that all relevant documents continue to be available for the same term.
(f) If any audit by Position Holder Trust results in Servicer being notified that any or all of Servicer’s obligations and duties under this Agreement are in material non-compliance with any applicable laws and regulations, Position Holder Trust shall inform Servicer of such audit results and will request Servicer to give timely instructions to remedy such non-compliance. In any case, Servicer shall take the necessary steps to ensure that any or all of Servicer’s obligations and duties under this Agreement are in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations.
(g) Following an audit, Position Holder Trust may discuss its findings with Servicer and, if appropriate, but without prejudice to Position Holder Trust’s other rights and remedies, the Parties shall agree on a plan (including a timetable to implement the plan) to address any concerns identified in the audit. If the audit demonstrates that Servicer is failing to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement, Servicer shall take the necessary steps to comply with its obligations at no additional cost or expense to Position Holder Trust. If the Parties fail to agree on a remediation plan, the matter shall be dealt with in accordance with the Arbitration procedure set out in Section 10.2.

a. Notify the Position Holder Trust of such Payment Default (a “Default Notice”), and request written instructions from the Position Holder Trustee as to the amount of the Position Holder Trust Interest to be issued (as provided below) to the Continuing Fractional Holder, PPDA Position Holder or Catch-Up Position Holder listed in the Default Notice with respect to the Continuing Fractional Interest, in which case the Position Holder Trustee shall return such written instructions within ten (10) Business Days of the date of receipt of the Default Notice;

c. Upon the occurrence of a Payment Default with respect to a Continuing Fractional Interest, Servicer shall (i) perform an Account Change (as defined in Exhibit A) with respect to the Continuing Fractional Interest (and all Beneficial Ownership represented thereby) to remove the Continuing Fractional Holder, PPDA Position Holder or Catch-Up Position Holder listed in the Default Notice as the registered owner of the Continuing Fractional Interest, (ii) prepare a Position Holder Trust Interest (in the amount as directed by the Position Holder Trustee) for execution by the Position Holder Trustee and issuance to the Continuing Fractional Holder, PPDA Position Holder or Catch-Up Position Holder listed in the Default Notice, (iii) update the Continuing Fractional Interest Register to reflect the increase in Position Holder Trust’s Beneficial Ownership in the related Policy as a result of the Payment Default, and (iv) upload the adjusted Continuing Fractional Interest Register to the Network Resources and notify the Position Holder Trustee and the Securities Intermediary of such upload; further, once Servicer has removed the Continuing Fractional

The Premium Payment Invoice shall (A) include any Beneficial Ownership to be registered in the name of Position Holder Trust as of the date a Premium Payment is due as a result of a Payment Default that has occurred before the date the Premium Payment Invoice is prepared, and (B) be accompanied by a supporting schedule allocating the aggregate amount due by Policy, and indicating which Premium Payments are included in the Premium Payment Invoice as a result of Payment Defaults since the date of the previous Premium Payment Invoice.
(ii) Position Holder Trust shall cause the aggregate amount due as reflected on each Premium Payment Invoice to be deposited into the Premium Payment Account not later than 10 days after the Premium Payment Invoice is received. If the invoiced amount is not deposited into the Premium Payment Account within 3 Business Days after the Premium Payment Invoice is received by Position Holder Trust, Servicer shall provide a second Premium Payment Invoice within 3 Business Days. If the full invoice amount is not deposited into the Premium Payment Account within 3 Business Days after the Premium Payment Invoice is received by Position Holder Trust, Position Holder Trust shall be deemed to be in material breach of this Agreement, and shall have a period of 3 Business Days to cure such breach.
(c) Beginning on the calendar day following the Post-Effective Adjustment Date and thereafter, Servicer shall periodically provide Position Holder Trust with an updated Premium Due Date Schedule, based on the applicable Premium Payment Schedule, adjusted as provided in this Schedule, which identifies each Policy, whether a Policy has a Premium Due Date for Continuing Fractional Holders during the next twelve (12) calendar months and the aggregate amount of such Premium Payment required to be paid by Continuing Fractional Holders on each such Premium Due Date, and the balance of the Premium Payment due on each Policy that Position Holder Trust is required to pay based on its Beneficial Ownership as of the date of the Premium Due Date Schedule.

Information Security Requirements
1. Purpose. This Schedule sets forth the minimum information security program and infrastructure policies (the “Information Security Requirements”) in effect as of the effective date of the Agreement that Servicer must meet and maintain in order to protect Servicing Data (as defined in Exhibit A) from unauthorized use, access, disclosure, theft, manipulation, reproduction and/or possible Security Breach during the Servicing Term and for any period of time thereafter during which Servicer has possession of or access to Servicing Data.
2. Information Security Safeguards.
(a) Appropriate Safeguards. Servicer certifies that it and all of its Affiliates, vendors, consultants, contractors and representatives have established, implemented, and will maintain comprehensive information security programs detailing administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to insure the security and confidentiality of Servicing Data; protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security and integrity of Servicing Data; protect against unauthorized access to or use of Servicing Data; and provide for the proper disposal of Servicing Data, all as required by applicable law, including but not limited to the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Bliley Act and Massachusetts Regulation 201 CMR 17.00 (“Information Security Safeguards”).
(i) Standards & Practices. Information Security Safeguards shall incorporate all commercially reasonable and appropriate methods and safeguards to ensure the security, confidentiality, integrity, availability and privacy of Servicing Data. Servicer shall adhere to information security best practices as identified in the most recent versions from time to time of British Standard 7799 (BS 7799-2:2002) and International Organization for Standardization 27001:2:2005 (ISO/IEC 17799:2005).
(ii) Updates. Information Security Safeguards shall be documented and kept current in light of changes in applicable law, best practices, and industry standards. Position Holder Trust may review such documentation upon request.
(b) Authorized Persons. Servicer shall limit access to Servicing Data to those employees, authorized agents, vendors, consultants, service providers and subcontractors who have a need to access such data in connection with the Services (“Authorized Persons”). Servicer shall ensure that each Authorized Person is trained and shall comply with the requirements of Servicer’s Information Security Safeguards. Servicer shall be responsible for any failure of its employees, agents, subcontractors and any authorized third party to comply with these terms and conditions regarding Servicing Data.
(c) Servicer Information Security Policies. Servicer must have in place and adhere to internal information security and privacy policies that address the roles and responsibilities of Servicer Personnel, including both technical and non-technical personnel, who have direct or indirect access to Servicing Data.

Schedule XX
maintenance; information security incident management; business continuity management; and compliance.
3. Vulnerability Assessments. Without limiting Servicer’s obligations set forth in the Agreement, Servicer will conduct, at its own expense, a vulnerability assessment on a schedule that is consistent with Servicer’s standard process and procedures, or at least annually, on all information applications and/or systems associated with accessing, processing, storage, communication and/or transmission of Servicing Data including Servicer’s systems and networks. The assessment process must include a methodology for identifying, quantifying, ranking and mitigating weaknesses in Servicer systems (“Vulnerability Assessment”). These Vulnerability Assessments will be done for the system and networks related to the Services and will be carried out internally. In addition, Servicer must undergo an annual perimeter network penetration test, conducted by a third party organization that specializes in providing this type of security assessment service. Position Holder Trust may, with Servicer’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), at Position Holder Trust’s own expense, conduct periodic independent onsite vulnerability and information security assessments, with prior reasonable notice, with respect to Servicer’s security as it relates to the Services.
4. Third Party Security Assessment. Position Holder Trust may, with Servicer’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), at Position Holder Trust’s own expense, be permitted to conduct independent on site security assessments, at a time mutually agreed upon by Position Holder Trust and Servicer, with respect to the Servicer security and compliance with Information Security Requirements. Position Holder Trust reserves the right to revise the Third-party Security Assessment Questionnaire at any time and in its sole discretion. Written notice of any such change will be provided to Servicer.
5. Information Security Infrastructure.
(a) Access Controls. Servicer will ensure appropriate access controls are in place to protect Servicing Data. Servicer agrees that it shall maintain, throughout the Servicing Term and at all times during the access to or while in possession of Servicing Data, the access controls disclosed to Position Holder Trust and approved by Position Holder Trust prior to execution of the Agreement and shall not materially change or modify the access controls without the prior written consent of Position Holder Trust. Servicer must also ensure that segregation of duties principles are employed in the assignment of all critical job functions. Position Holder Trust will be responsible for implementing and maintaining access controls on its own systems to which Servicer may be granted access.
(b) Password Administration. Servicer passwords that are associated with access to Servicing Data must contain at least eight (8) characters that are alpha numeric, upper and lower case and include special characters, with account lockout to occur after three failed attempts. Passwords must be changed at least every ninety (90) days and the ten (10) most recent passwords must not be reused.
(c) Access Justification/Authorization Process. Servicer must have a process in place that is designed to ensure that only Authorized Personnel (technical and non-technical) are granted access to Servicing Data. Access must be authorized and granted consistent with
Servicing Agreement | 2 |
Schedule XX
Servicer’s confidentiality obligations under the Agreement. Each authorization must be approved by appropriate Servicer management. All Servicer employee authorizations and manager approvals must be documented and retained. If any individual among Servicer’s Authorized Personnel no longer requires access to Servicing Data, Servicer must take immediate steps to remove the access of that individual, or inform Position Holder Trust for removal from Position Holder Trust’s systems. The access removal will be documented with date and time and will be retained by Servicer at all times while Servicer is in possession of or has access to Servicing Data. Position Holder Trust retains the right to audit these access lists and justifications.
(d) Transfer Protocols. Servicer will work with Position Holder Trust to implement reliable and secure transport methods that best satisfy Position Holder Trust’s requirements. Once established, Servicer agrees that it shall not implement a less secure method without the prior written consent of Position Holder Trust.
6. Network and Host Security. Servicer must have commercially reasonable and efficient network intrusion detection, firewalls and anti-virus protection in place and functioning properly (the “Network and Host Security Methods”). Servicer shall use reasonable commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that operating systems and applications that are associated with Servicing Data must be patched within a commercially reasonable time period after Servicer has actual or constructive knowledge of any security vulnerabilities. Servicer will exercise generally accepted industry standards to ensure that any software, systems, or networks that may interact with Position Holder Trust’s systems, networks, or any Servicing Data are not and do not become infected by any Viruses. Servicer agrees that it shall maintain, throughout the Servicing Term and at all times while in the possession of or during the access to Servicing Data, Network and Host Security Methods at least as secure as the Network and Host Security Methods disclosed to and assessed by Position Holder Trust prior to execution of the Agreement and shall not implement less secure Network and Host Security Methods without the prior written consent of Position Holder Trust.
7. Permitted Uses and Disclosures of Personal Information. Servicer will not use or disclose any personally identifiable information about any individual, including, but not limited to, name, postal address, email address, telephone number, age or date of birth, gender, demographic information, marketing preferences, Social Security number, credit card numbers, other financial account numbers, application data, credit history, medical information, financial information, consumer report information and data about transactions or experiences with Position Holder Trust or any subsidiary, parent, affiliate or marketing partner of Position Holder Trust (“Personal Information”) if prohibited by any law, ordinance, statute, rule, or regulation applicable to or binding on Servicer or Position Holder Trust, including regulatory actions that have the force of law and guidance issued by any insurance or other relevant government agency regulator (“Applicable Law”).
