Mitigation by Custodian Upon the occurrence of any event which causes or may cause any loss, damage or expense to the Fund, (i) the Custodian shall, (ii) the Custodian shall cause any applicable Domestic Subcustodian or Foreign Sub-Subcustodian to, and (iii) the Custodian shall use its best efforts to cause any applicable Interim Sub-Subcustodian or Special Subcustodian to, use all commercially reasonable efforts and take all reasonable steps under the circumstances to mitigate the effects of such event and to avoid continuing harm to the Fund.
Indemnification by Custodian The Custodian shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Trust may sustain or incur or that may be asserted against the Trust by any person arising directly or indirectly out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Indemnified Party’s refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement (or any sub-custody agreement), or from its bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement (or any sub-custody agreement). This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of the Custodian, its successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement. As used in this paragraph, the term “Trust” shall include the Trust’s trustees, officers and employees.
Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Depositor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and upon delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such action shall not result in a downgrade of the ratings assigned to any of the Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer but in no event shall the fee payable to the successor master servicer exceed that payable to the predecessor master servicer.
Trustee Not Required to Make Investigation Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, Mortgage, Mortgage Note or other paper or document (provided the same appears regular on its face), unless requested in writing to do so by holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Voting Interest represented by all Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Master Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee shall be repaid by the Master Servicer upon demand.
Liability of Custodian for Actions of Other Persons (a) Domestic Subcustodians and Foreign Subcustodians. The Custodian shall be liable for the actions or omissions of any Domestic Subcustodian or any Foreign Subcustodian to the same extent as if such action or omission were performed by the Custodian itself. In the event of any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by a Fund caused by or resulting from the actions or omissions of any Domestic Subcustodian or Foreign Subcustodian for which the Custodian would otherwise be liable, the Custodian shall promptly reimburse such Fund in the amount of any such loss, damage or expense.

Escrow Agent Not Responsible for Genuineness The Escrow Agent will not be responsible or liable in any manner whatever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any escrow security deposited with it.
Termination of Agreement, Resignation, or Removal of Custodian Either party may terminate this agreement at any time by giving written notice to the other. We can resign as custodian at any time effective 30 days after we send written notice of our resignation to you. Upon receipt of that notice, you must make arrangements to transfer your Xxxx XXX to another financial organization. If you do not complete a transfer of your Xxxx XXX within 30 days from the date we send the notice to you, we have the right to transfer your Xxxx XXX assets to a successor Xxxx XXX trustee or custodian that we choose in our sole discretion, or we may pay your Xxxx XXX to you in a single sum. We will not be liable for any actions or failures to act on the part of any successor trustee or custodian, nor for any tax consequences you may incur that result from the transfer or distribution of your assets pursuant to this section. If this agreement is terminated, we may charge to your Xxxx XXX a reasonable amount of money that we believe is necessary to cover any associated costs, including but not limited to one or more of the following. • Any fees, expenses, or taxes chargeable against your Xxxx XXX • Any penalties or surrender charges associated with the early withdrawal of any savings instrument or other investment in your Xxxx XXX If we are a nonbank custodian required to comply with Regulations section 1.408-2(e) and we fail to do so or we are not keeping the records, making the returns, or sending the statements as are required by forms or regulations, the IRS may require us to substitute another trustee or custodian. We may establish a policy requiring distribution of the entire balance of your Xxxx XXX to you in cash or property if the balance of your Xxxx XXX drops below the minimum balance required under the applicable investment or policy established.
