The Sub-Servicer and any Affiliate, representative, member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent (including sub-servicers) of the Sub-Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any appropriate Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Sub-Servicer shall not appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action solely in the Master Servicer's name unless the Sub-Servicer obtains the Master Servicer's prior written consent. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Sub-Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed to the extent the Master Servicer is reimbursed therefor by the Trust. If and only to the extent provided pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer and its Affiliates, directors, members, managers, officers, employees, representatives and agents (including sub-servicers) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust for any loss, liability or expense (including legal fees and expenses (including any such expenses incurred in enforcing this indemnity)) incurred in connection with any claim, loss, penalty, fine, foreclosure, judgment, liability or legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense (including legal fees and expenses (including any such expenses incurred in enforcing this indemnity)) incurred by reason of the Sub-Servicer’s bad faith, willful misconduct, fraud or negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations or duties. The Sub-Servicer shall not have any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust, but will be entitled to the indemnification described above only through the Master Servicer to the full extent that the Master Servicer is indemnified by the Trust for such amounts pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.04 Sub-Servicer Resignation.
The Sub-Servicer shall not resign from its obligations and duties hereunder without giving the Master Servicer sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof or such lesser notice as may be acceptable to the Master Servicer to enable the Master Servicer to assume all of the Sub-Servicer’s rights, powers, duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that only fifteen (15) days prior written notice shall be required in connection with a resignation of the Sub-Servicer as a result of the Master Servicer’s failure to consent to any matters set forth in this Agreement; provided, further, that the Sub-Servicer, upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no
26 |
longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Sub-Servicer, shall be permitted to resign without any such prior written notice, but shall give notice to the Master Servicer upon such resignation. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Sub-Servicer pursuant to the second proviso of the preceding sentence shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer.
Section 3.05 No Transfer or Assignment of Servicing.
With respect to the responsibility of the Sub-Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Sub-Servicer acknowledges that the Master Servicer has acted in reliance upon the Sub-Servicer’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 3.05, the Sub-Servicer shall neither assign or transfer this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, without the prior written approval of the Master Servicer and the prior written consent of the Depositor, which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any assignment or transfer by the Sub-Servicer of this Agreement or the servicing hereunder (the “Sub-Servicing Rights”), the Sub-Servicer shall allow the Master Servicer an opportunity to bid on the purchase of such Sub-Servicing Rights. The Sub-Servicer may also solicit bids from any other parties independent of the Master Servicer. If after receipt by the Sub-Servicer of all bids, the Master Servicer is not the highest bidder, then the Sub-Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer the opportunity to (but not the obligation to) submit a second bid and final bid, which bid shall be given equal consideration with all other bids. The Sub-Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer upon the completion of any assignment (except to the Master Servicer as contemplated above) and provide any information applicable to the Sub-Servicer, as required pursuant to Section 10.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.06 Indemnification.
The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicer each agrees to and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, in the case of the Sub-Servicer, and the Sub-Servicer, in the case of the Master Servicer (including any of their partners, directors, officers, employees or agents) from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that the Master Servicer, in the case of the Sub-Servicer, and the Sub-Servicer, in the case of the Master Servicer, may sustain arising from or as a result of any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence of the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer, as applicable, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard by the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer, as applicable, of its duties and obligations hereunder or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made by the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer, as applicable, herein; provided, that such indemnity shall not cover indirect or consequential damages. Each indemnified party hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnitor of matters which may give rise to liability of such indemnitor hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnitor of any liability except to the extent of
27 |
actual prejudice. This Section 3.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer.

In addition to any other rights the Master Servicer may have hereunder, (A) if the Sub-Servicer fails to remit to the Master Servicer when due the total remittance required to be remitted under this Agreement (whether or not such failure constitutes a Sub-Servicer Termination Event), then interest shall accrue on the amount of the total remittance and the Sub-Servicer shall promptly pay such remittance amount and interest on such remittance amount to the Master Servicer, and such interest shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate from and including the date when such remittance was required to be made to but excluding the day when such remittance is actually made, and (b) if the Sub-Servicer fails to remit a single loan remittance more than five (5) days after the applicable single loan payment or collection was received by the Sub-Servicer, then interest shall accrue on the amount of such single loan remittance and the Sub-Servicer shall promptly pay such remittance amount and interest on such remittance amount to the Master Servicer, and such interest shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate from and including the date when such remittance was required to be made to but excluding the date when such remittance is actually made.
The Sub-Servicer shall not be or become Risk Retention Affiliated with or a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third-Party Purchaser. If the Sub-Servicer is or becomes Risk Retention Affiliated with or a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third-Party Purchaser, the Sub-Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicer shall be terminated as Sub-Servicer under this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.01(v) below.
Section 4.02 Waiver of Defaults.
The Master Servicer may waive any default by the Sub-Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Sub-Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 4.03 Other Remedies of Master Servicer.
During the continuance of any Sub-Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Sub-Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer, in addition to the rights specified in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, shall have the right, in its own name, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Sub-Servicer Termination Event.
