(“Xxxxx Fargo”), as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), trust administrator (the “Trust Administrator”), custodian (the “Custodian”) and credit risk manager. From and after the date hereof, the Company and the Trustee acknowledge and agree that (A) the Trustee will be the owner of the Mortgage Loans on behalf of MASTR Adjustable Rate Mortgages Trust 2007-2 (the “Trust”), and Xxxxx Fargo, will be the Master Servicer, Trust Administrator and a Custodian of the Mortgage Loans, (B) the Company shall look solely to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust for performance of any obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, (C) the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, agrees to assume all obligations of the “Purchaser” under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans and (D) the Mortgage Loans will be part of a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code (“REMIC”), and the Company shall service the Mortgage Loans and any real property acquired upon default thereof (including, without limitation, making or permitting any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan) in accordance with the Servicing Agreement but in no event in a manner that would (i) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, and the tax on “net income from foreclosure property” as set forth in Section 860G(c) of the Code). It is understood that the Company shall not be obligated to defend and indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Assignor and the Assignee against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, judgments and any related costs including, without limitation, reasonable and necessary legal fees, resulting from (i) actions or inactions of the Company which were taken or omitted upon the instruction or direction of the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, or (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to perform the obligations of the Assignor with respect to the servicing provisions of the Servicing Agreement.
