Servicer Not to Resign; Assignment (a) The Servicer shall not resign from the duties and obligations hereby imposed on it except upon determination by its Board of Directors that by reason of change in applicable legal requirements the continued performance by the Servicer of its duties hereunder would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would result in a material adverse effect on the Servicer or its financial condition, said determination to be evidenced by a resolution of its Board of Directors to such effect accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Issuer, the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee, to such effect. No such resignation shall become effective unless and until (i) the Indenture Trustee assumes all of the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement or (ii) a new servicer acceptable to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer is willing to service the Contracts and enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in form and substance substantially similar to this Agreement and satisfactory to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, and each Rating Agency confirms that the selection of such new servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then-current rating of each Class of Notes assigned by such Rating Agency. No such resignation by the Servicer shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to repurchase Contracts pursuant to Section 3.07.
