Neither the Primary Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Primary Servicer shall be under any liability to the Master Servicer for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Primary Servicer or any such person against liability for any breach of representation or warranty made herein, or against any expense or liability specifically required to be borne by the Primary Servicer without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations and duties. The Primary Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of the Primary Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind conforming to the requirements of this Agreement for the truth and accuracy of the contents of that document (and as to certificates and opinions, including Opinions of Counsel, for the truth of the statements made therein and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein) reasonably believed or in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, which document, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person, or any employee or agent of any Person (including legal counsel as to opinions), respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Primary Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal or administrative action (whether in equity or at law), proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement or which, in its opinion may involve it in any ultimate expenses or liability; provided, however, the Primary Servicer may, with the consent of the Master Servicer, undertake any such action, proceeding, hearing or examination that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom, to the extent the same are expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Master Servicer and the Primary Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Master Servicer upon written demand. To the extent provided in Section 6.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Primary Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal action or claim relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or the Trust, other than any loss, liability or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne by the Primary Servicer, without right of reimbursement, pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) incurred in connection with a legal action or claim against such party resulting from any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Primary Servicer
19
herein, or (iii) incurred in connection with a legal action or claim against such party resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Primary Servicer’s obligations or duties hereunder, or resulting from negligent disregard of such obligations or duties. The Primary Servicer shall not have any rights of indemnification out of the Trust Fund except through the Master Servicer as described above and, in each case, to the full extent that the Master Servicer is permitted to indemnification from the Trust Fund under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
For the purposes of indemnification of the Primary Servicer and limitation of liability, the Primary Servicer will be deemed not to have engaged in willful misfeasance or committed bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its respective obligations or duties or acted in negligent disregard or other disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder if the Primary Servicer, fails to follow the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents because the Master Servicer in its reasonably exercised judgment determines that following the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents would or potentially would conflict with the REMIC Provisions of the Code and potentially would result in an Adverse REMIC Event. If at any time the Primary Servicer thinks that following the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents would or potentially would result in an Adverse REMIC Event, the Primary Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall make the determination for purposes of this paragraph.
Section 3.04 Primary Servicer Resignation.
The Primary Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Master Servicer, or (b) upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Primary Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Primary Servicer pursuant to clause (b) 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 Primary Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Primary Servicer acknowledges that the Master Servicer has acted in reliance upon the Primary 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 Section 3.05 of this Agreement, the Primary Servicer shall not either assign or transfer this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Master Servicer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Primary Servicer may transfer and assign this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Primary Servicer so long as the conditions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (v) of the second paragraph of Section 3.02 of this Agreement are satisfied in connection with such transfer and assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any assignment or transfer by the Primary Servicer of this Agreement or the servicing hereunder (the “Primary Servicing Rights”), the Primary Servicer shall allow the Master Servicer an opportunity to bid on the
20
purchase of such Primary Servicing Rights. The Primary Servicer may also solicit bids from any other parties independent of the Primary Servicer.
Section 3.06 Indemnification.
The Master Servicer and the Primary Servicer each agrees to and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, in the case of the Primary Servicer, and the Primary 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 Primary Servicer, and the Primary Servicer, in the case of the Master Servicer, may sustain arising from or as a result of any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Master Servicer or Primary 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 Primary Servicer, as applicable, of its duties and obligations hereunder or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made 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 actual prejudice. Section 3.06 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer.

If any event has occurred which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time, would constitute an Event of Default under Section 4.01(j), (k), (l) or (m) of this Agreement, so long as no other Event of Default has occurred, then the Primary Servicer may, subject to the terms of Section 3.05 of this Agreement, sell its Primary Servicing Rights prior to the time at which such event (due to the giving of notice and/or the passage of time) constitutes an Event of Default.
In addition to any other rights the Master Servicer may have hereunder, if the Primary Servicer fails to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts when required to be remitted hereunder, the Primary Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on the amount of such late remittance at the Reimbursement Rate, applied on a per diem basis for each day such remittance is late (i.e., said per annum rate divided by 365 multiplied by the number of days late); but in no event shall such interest be greater than the maximum amount permitted by law.
Section 4.02 Waiver of Defaults.
The Master Servicer may waive any default by the Primary 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 Event of Default 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.
24
Section 4.03 Other Remedies of Master Servicer.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default 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 Event of Default.
