The Servicer and the Assignor shall have the right to amend, modify or terminate the Servicing Agreement without the joinder of the Assignee with respect to mortgage loans not conveyed to the Assignee hereunder to the extent permitted by such Servicing Agreement, provided, however, that such amendment, modification or termination shall not affect or be binding on the Assignee.

(j)
Bring Down.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 6 shall survive delivery of the respective Collateral File to the applicable Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee and its assigns notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon the discovery by the Assignor or the Assignee and its assigns of a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Assignment Agreement, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days from the date of such discovery. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Assignor set forth in Section 8 to repurchase a Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies available to the Assignee and its assigns on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 6. It is further understood and agreed that the Assignor shall be deemed not to have made the representations and warranties in Section 6(j) with respect to, and to the extent of, representations and warranties made, as to the matters covered in Section 6(j), by the Seller in the Sale Agreement (or any officer’s certificate delivered pursuant thereto).
It is understood and agreed that the Assignor has made no representations or warranties to the Assignee other than those contained in this Section 6, and no other affiliate of the Assignor has made any representations or warranties of any kind to the Assignee.

(i)
The definition of Business Day is hereby amended by adding the words “Maryland, Minnesota” after the words “New York”.
(ii)
Section 4.1(b) of the Servicing Agreement shall be deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
“(b)
With respect to any remittance to the Owner made by the Servicer after the day on which such remittance was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Owner interest on such late remittance at an annual rate equal to Prime, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer on the date such late remittance is made and shall cover the period commencing with the date on which such remittance was due and ending with the Business Day on which such late remittance is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with such late remittance. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer.”
(iii)
Section 5.6(b) of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended by adding the following text after the phrase “under this Section 5.6”:
“or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Beneficiary in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Beneficiary, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Beneficiary as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Beneficiary in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Beneficiary on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 5.6 or the Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith”
(iv)
Section 7.1 of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended by adding the following:
“(ix)
failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Article 5 (other than Section 5.4, 5.5, 5.6), which failure continues unremedied for a period of ten days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any party to this Servicing Agreement or by any master servicer responsible for master servicing the Mortgage Loans pursuant to a securitization of such Mortgage Loans.”
(v)
The first sentence of Section 8.2(a) of the Servicing Agreement shall be deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
“Upon written notice, the Owner may, at its sole option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and in accordance with Section 7.1, terminate any rights the Servicer may have hereunder.”
(vi)
The following definition shall be added to Section 1 of the Amendment Reg AB, dated as of January 1, 2006 by and between Xxxxxxx Sachs Mortgage Corporation and Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (the “Amendment Reg AB”):
Master Servicer: With respect to any Securitization Transaction, the “master servicer,” if any, identified in the related transaction documents.
(vii)
Section 2(e)(i)(A) of the Amendment Reg AB shall be amended and replaced as follows:
deliver to the Purchaser and any Depositor a report regarding the Company’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be addressed to the Purchaser and such Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the Company, and shall address each of the applicable Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit A hereto (wherein “Investor” shall mean the master servicer);
(viii)
Section 2(e)(ii) of the Amendment Reg AB shall be amended and replaced as follows:
Each assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section 2(e)(i)(A) shall address each of the applicable Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit A hereto (wherein “Investor” shall mean the Master Servicer) delivered to the Purchaser concurrently with the execution of this Agreement or, in the case of a Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to the date of such appointment. An assessment of compliance provided by a Participating Entity pursuant to Section 2(e)(i)(C) need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Company pursuant to Section 2(f)
(ix)
Exhibit B of the Amendment Reg AB, dated as of January 1, 2006, by and between Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Corporation and Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., shall be replaced with Exhibit I hereto.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicing Agreement is not hereby amended with respect to any other mortgage loans serviced thereunder and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms with respect to such other mortgage loans.
For purposes of this Section 7, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Servicing Agreement.
8.
Repurchase of Mortgage Loans.
Upon discovery or notice of any breach by the Assignor of any representation, warranty or covenant under this Assignment Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein if the Assignee incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Assignee promptly shall request that the Assignor cure such breach and, if the Assignor does not cure such breach in all material respects within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by the Assignor of such breach or the date on which it is notified of the breach, the Assignee may enforce the Assignor’s obligation hereunder to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Assignee at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Trust Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a Qualification Defect (as defined in the Sale Agreement), then such cure or repurchase must take place within 90 days of discovery of such Qualification Defect.
In the event of a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Assignor, the Assignee shall promptly deliver to the Assignor or its designee the related Collateral File and shall assign to the Assignor all of the Assignee’s rights and obligations under the Servicing Agreement, but only insofar as the Servicing Agreement relates to such Mortgage Loan.
