The Seller and Holdings shall use their best efforts to cooperate to enter into an Escrow Agreement containing the terms as set forth in this paragraph prior to the applicable date a payment is required to be made to the Escrow Agent as described in this paragraph and, to the extent such actions have been taken by any NRZ O/S Entity pursuant to any NRZ Servicing/Subservicing Agreement (other than the NRM Agency Subservicing Agreement), Holdings and Seller may agree to aggregate such actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Addendum, the Seller shall not be entitled to receive any Termination Fee to the extent the Effective Date of Termination occurs after the Initial Term or the parties are unable to effectuate the transfer of servicing to a successor servicer or subservicer.”
