| 21 |
Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Certification Party or the Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Certification Party or the Master Servicer on the one hand and the Sub-Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Sub-Servicer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.01(c)(34).

Neither the Sub-Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Sub-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 Sub-Servicer or any such Person against liability for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in compliance with the Servicing Standard, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or against any expense or liability specifically required to be borne by the Sub-Servicer without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the
| 22 |
performance of obligations or duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties hereunder. The Sub-Servicer and any officer, employee or agent 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 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 duties under this Agreement or which, in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability for which it would not be reimbursed hereunder; provided, however, the Sub-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 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 6.04 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and another costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal or administrative action (whether in equity or at law) or claim relating to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne by the Sub-Servicer, without right of reimbursement, pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) incurred in connection with any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Sub-Servicer herein, or (iii) incurred by reason of the Sub-Servicer’s bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations or duties.

Section 3.04 Sub-Servicer Resignation.
The Sub-Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon mutual consent of the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer and payment by the Sub-Servicer of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Master Servicer in connection with such resignation and transfer of servicing, or (b) upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Sub-Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Sub-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 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,
| 23 |
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, which consent will not be unreasonably 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.
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 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 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.
