(i) Servicer shall maintain the confidentiality of the terms of this Agreement and of information relating to the Loans and the Borrowers, (including without limitation Confidential Information as that term is defined in Exhibit E hereto) using the same care and discretion to avoid disclosure of such information as it uses to protect its own information that it does not want disclosed.

Exhibit E

Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Security Requirements

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-102, 113 Stat. 1138), as amended from time to time (the “GLB Act”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder impose certain obligations on financial institutions with respect to the confidentiality and security of the customer data of such financial institutions. This Exhibit E to the Servicing Agreement sets forth the Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Security requirements for confidential information related to customers, including without limitation any “nonpublic personal information” as defined under the GLB Act and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

1. Confidential Information.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information related to customers, including without limitation any “nonpublic personal information” as defined under the GLB Act and regulations promulgated thereunder in oral, demonstrative, written, graphic or machine-readable form, whether or not owned or developed by the Bank.

 

2. Disclosure and Protection of Confidential Information.

(a) The Bank warrants that its disclosure of Confidential Information to GMACM is in accordance with applicable state and federal laws and the Bank’s own privacy policy.

(b) Servicer agrees not to use Confidential Information for any purpose other than the fulfillment of Servicer’s obligations to the Bank. Servicer shall not disclose, publish, release, transfer or otherwise make available Confidential Information in any form to, or for the use or benefit of, any third party without Bank’s prior written consent. Servicer shall, however, be permitted to disclose relevant aspects of the Confidential Information to its employees, agents and subcontractors to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the performance of its functions and/or contractual duties and provided that such disclosure is not prohibited by the GLB Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder or other applicable law. Servicer agrees that it will not use non-public personal information about Bank’s customers in any manner prohibited by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Servicer agrees that it shall remain fully responsible for any disclosure as set forth in the preceding sentence. Servicer further agrees to advise bank promptly in writing of any misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information which may come to the attention of Servicer, and to take all steps reasonably requested by Bank to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure or use. If the GLB Act or other applicable law now or hereafter in effect imposes a higher standard of confidentiality and/or protection to the Confidential Information, then such standard shall take precedence over the provisions of this Section.

(c) Servicer will make no more copies of the Confidential Information than is necessary for Servicer’s use. All copies made, in any medium whatsoever, shall be covered by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(d) Each party shall develop, implement and maintain a comprehensive information security program (the “Security Program”) to protect Confidential Information that includes administrative, technical and/or physical safeguards appropriate to such party’s size and complexity and the nature and scope of its activities in compliance with the GLB Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. The objective of each such Security Program shall be to insure the security and confidentiality of Confidential Information, protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Confidential Information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.

(e) Servicer will ensure that any third party to whom it transfers Confidential Information enters into an agreement to protect the confidentiality and security of Confidential Information in a manner no less stringent than required by this Agreement.


(f) Upon request, a party shall provide to the other party information such as audits or summaries of test results demonstrating the effectiveness of its Security Program.

(g) California Personal Information Statute. Servicer acknowledges that Bank Confidential Information may include personal information pertaining to California residents. Servicer shall ensure that its system and/or the networks comply with the requirements of California Civil Code §1798.82 et. seq.; or any similar federal or state statute that may enacted (the “California Statute”), including the encryption of all personally-identifiable Bank Confidential Information. If Servicer believes that personally-identifiable Bank Confidential Information has been accessed without proper authorization, or there has been an unsuccessful attempt to access such Confidential Information, Servicer shall provide written notice to Bank within twenty-four (24) hours. If Bank determines that actions must be taken to comply with the California Statute, Servicer shall fully cooperate with Bank to achieve such compliance. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to release Servicer from its indemnification obligations as set forth in the Agreement.

 

3. Return of Materials.

(a) All Confidential Information, including copies thereof, shall be promptly returned to Bank upon request, except that copies may be retained, if required, for legal or financial compliance purposes.

(b) Upon termination or expiration of the business relationship and/or Agreement, all Confidential Information, including copies thereof, shall be promptly returned to such party or destroyed, except that copies may be retained, if required, for legal or financial compliance purposes.
