Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Trust Fund, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause any REMIC created under the Trust Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code.
19.
Section 4.04 (Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account) is hereby amended by replacing the words “in trust for the Purchaser of Conventional Residential Conventional Residential Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors” in the fourth and fifth lines of the first sentence of the first paragraph shall be replaced with the following: “in trust for the LMT 2006-3 Trust Fund and various Mortgagors.”

21.
Section 4.06 (Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account) is hereby amended by deleting the words “Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., in trust for the Purchaser of Conventional Residential Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors” in the fourth and fifth lines of the first sentence of the first paragraph, and replacing it with the following words:

(i)
by replacing the reference to “one year” in the seventh line of the third paragraph thereof with “three years;” and
(ii)
by adding two new paragraphs after the third paragraph thereof to read as follows:
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Company shall dispose of such REO Property not later than the end of the third taxable year after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Company has applied for and received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the applicable Trust REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the imposition of a federal or state tax upon such REMIC. If the Company has received such an extension, then the Company shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Company has not received such an extension and the Company is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending 3 months before the end of such third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Company has received such an extension, and the Company is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Company shall, before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Company) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund shall sign any document or take any other action reasonably requested by the Company, which would enable the Company, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to request such grant of extension.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used or held by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms or for a period that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any REMIC to the imposition of any taxes upon any REMIC in the Trust Fund.
(iii)
by replacing the word “advances” in the sixth line of the fifth paragraph thereof with “Monthly Advances;” and
(iv)
by adding the following to the end of such Section:
Prior to acceptance by the Company of an offer to sell any REO Property, the Company shall notify the Master Servicer of such offer in writing which notification shall set forth all material terms of said offer (each a “Notice of Sale”). The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have approved the sale of any REO Property unless the Master Servicer notifies the Company in writing, within five (5) days after its receipt of the related Notice of Sale, that it disapproves of the related sale, in which case the Company shall not proceed with such sale.
24.

Unless the successor servicer is at that time a servicer of other mortgage loans for the Trust Fund, each Rating Agency must deliver to the Trustee a letter to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates.

In the event that the Company’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Company shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Company pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 12.01 and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01 and the remedies available to the Trust Fund under Section 3.03 shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement.
Within a reasonable period of time, but in no event longer than 30 days of the appointment of a successor entity, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The Company shall cooperate with the Trustee and the Master Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trust Fund and such successor in effecting the termination of the Company’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the transfer of servicing responsibilities to the successor servicer, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to the Account or any Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the Master Servicer, and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, an instrument accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make an assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed and observed by the Company under this Agreement, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Company or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.04, 10.01, 11.01 or 11.02 shall not affect any claims that (i) the Trust Fund (or the Master Servicer or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund) may have against the Company arising out of the Company’s actions or failure to act, or (ii) the Company may have against the Trust Fund (or the Master Servicer or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund), prior to any such termination or resignation.
The Company shall deliver, within three (3) Business Days of the appointment of a successor Servicer, the funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Collateral Files, Credit Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder to the successor Servicer and the Company shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company.
Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Company shall notify the Trust Fund (or the Trustee or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund) of such appointment in accordance with the notice procedures set forth herein.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any transfer of servicing hereunder (as a result of a termination of the Company for cause pursuant to Section 10.01), including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer or any other Person in appointing a successor servicer, or of the Master Servicer in assuming the responsibilities of the Company hereunder, or of transferring the Servicing Files and the other necessary data to the successor servicer shall be paid by the terminated Servicer from its own funds without reimbursement. The Trust Fund shall be liable for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any transfer of servicing hereunder, other than costs and expenses incurred in connection with a transfer of servicing for cause as stated above.
