Acceptance by Issuer The Issuer acknowledges its acceptance pursuant to this Agreement, of all right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the other Transferred Assets conveyed by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement and declares and shall declare from and after the date hereof that the Issuer holds and shall hold such right, title and interest, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Payment by Guarantor If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity, or any other notice whatsoever, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender at Lender’s address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.
Waiver by Guarantor Each Guarantor hereby waives (a) any right of redemption with respect to any collateral after the sale thereof (except as shall be required by any Requirement of Law that cannot be waived), and all rights, if any, of marshalling of collateral or security for the Guaranteed Obligations and (b) any right (except as shall be required by any Requirement of Law that cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Party to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations or (iii) pursue any remedy in any Guaranteed Party’s power whatsoever. If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties that the terms of this Guaranty Agreement shall control in any and all circumstances, any of the foregoing waivers or consents are determined to be unenforceable under any Requirement of Law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent not prohibited by any Requirement of Law. Each Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, including any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, or the enforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Guaranteed Party may exercise any right or remedy it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder (except to the extent the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by a Guaranteed Party, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the Borrower.
Waivers by Guarantor To the extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of:
(a) Any right to require Lender to proceed against Borrower or any Borrower Party or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power or under any other agreement before proceeding against Guarantor hereunder;
(b) Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or persons;
(c) Demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest and all other notices of any kind, or the lack of any thereof, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Borrower or any Borrower Party, Lender, any endorser or creditor of Borrower or any Borrower Party or of Guarantor or on the part of any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Lender;
(d) Any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender;
(e) Any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of the assets of Guarantor;
(f) Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
(g) Any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to Guarantor any facts Lender may now or hereafter know about Borrower or the Borrower Parties or the Collateral or the Property, regardless of whether Lender has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, it being understood and agreed that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, the Borrower Parties, of the condition of the Property and of any and all circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Guarantor hereunder;
(h) Any lack of notice of disposition or of manner of disposition of any collateral for the Loan;
(i) Any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any one or more of the Loan Documents;
(j) Any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the collateral for the Loan;
(k) Any deficiencies in the collateral for the Loan or any deficiency in the ability of Lender to collect or to obtain performance from any persons or entities now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed or indemnified against;
(1) An assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower or a Borrower Party) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now or hereafter required, which Lender may have against Guarantor or the collateral for the Loan;
Payment by Guarantors Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.
Acceptance by Escrow Agent The Escrow Agent hereby accepts and agrees to perform its obligations hereunder, provided that:
(a) The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and may assume that any person who has been designated by Underwriter or the Company to give any written instructions, notice or receipt, or make any statements in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. Escrow Agent shall have no duty to make inquiry as to the genuineness, accuracy or validity of any statements or instructions or any signatures on statements or instructions. The names and true signatures of each individual authorized to act singly on behalf of the Company and Underwriter are stated in Schedule II, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Company and Underwriter may each remove or add one or more of its authorized signers stated on Schedule II by notifying the Escrow Agent of such change in accordance with this Agreement, which notice shall include the true signature for any new authorized signatories.
(b) The Escrow Agent may act relative hereto in reliance upon advice of counsel in reference to any matter connected herewith. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or error of judgment or law, or for any acts or omissions of any kind, unless caused by its willful misconduct or gross negligence.
(c) Underwriter and the Company agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, liabilities, damages, suits, demands, judgments or expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees) claimed against or incurred by Escrow Agent arising out of or related, directly or indirectly, to this Escrow Agreement unless caused by the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(d) In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to (i) refrain from taking any action other than to keep safely the Escrow Funds until it shall be directed otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) deliver the Escrow Funds to a court of competent jurisdiction.
(e) The Escrow Agent shall have no duty, responsibility or obligation to interpret or enforce the terms of any agreement other than Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder, and the Escrow Agent shall not be required to make a request that any monies be delivered to the Escrow Account, it being agreed that the sole duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent shall be to the extent not prohibited by applicable law (i) to accept checks or other instruments for the payment of money and wire transfers delivered to the Escrow Agent for the Escrow Account and deposit said checks and wire transfers into the non-interest bearing Escrow Account, and (ii) to disburse or refrain from disbursing the Escrow Funds as stated above, provided that the checks received by the Escrow Agent have been collected and are available for withdrawal.
Waivers by Guarantors Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Company or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Company or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e)
(i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.
Acceptance by the Trustee (a) The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Trust Receipt and Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit K and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Trustee Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of Illinois or the State of Texas, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies. The Trustee or the Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Seller, each Servicer and the Trust Administrator a Trust Receipt and Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit K. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Trust Receipt and Initial Certification, the Trustee or the Custodian acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee or the Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Seller and Servicer and the Trust Administrator a Trust Receipt and Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit L, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. If, in the course of such review, the Trustee or the Custodian finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee or the Custodian shall list such as an exception in the Trust Receipt and Final Certification; provided, however, that the Trustee or the Custodian shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The related Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the related Seller does not correct or cure such defect within such period, the related Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee or the Custodian within 90 days from the date the related Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; or such longer period not to exceed 720 days from the Closing Date if the substitution or repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office; provided, however, that a Seller shall have no liability for recording any Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee or for the Trustee’s failure to record such Assignment of Mortgage, and provided, further, that no Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or cure any Mortgage Loan solely as a result of the Trustee’s failure to record such Assignment of Mortgage. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) for which a mortgage or assignment of mortgage required to be recorded hereunder has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the related Seller in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee or the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the related Seller and shall execute and deliver at such entity’s request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such entity, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such entity, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
(b) It is understood and agreed that the obligation of each Seller to cure, substitute for or to repurchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against such Seller.
Acceptance by Custodian Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, will declare that it holds and will hold the documents delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01(a) above and the other documents constituting a part of the Owner Mortgage Loan Files or Retained Mortgage Loan Files (after the occurrence of a Document Transfer Event) delivered to it in trust, upon the trusts herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Custodian will deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an initial certification in the form of Exhibit N hereto, to the effect that, except as may be specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, it has received the original Mortgage Notes relating to each Mortgage Loan on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Custodian will review each Owner Mortgage Loan File within 45 days after execution of this Agreement. The Custodian will deliver no later than 30 days after completion of such review to the Depositor and the Trustee a final certification in the form of Exhibit O hereto to the effect that, except as may be specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, all required documents set forth in Section 2.01(a) have been executed and received and appear regular on their face, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule based on a comparison of the Mortgage Loan identifying number, Mortgagor name and street address, and in so doing the Custodian may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If there are exceptions attached to the final certification, the Depositor shall have a period of 60 days after the date of receipt of the final certification within which to correct or cure any such defects. The Depositor hereby covenants and agrees that, if any material defect is not so corrected or cured, the Depositor will, not later than 60 days after receipt of the final certification referred to above respecting such defects, either (i) repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trust Estate at a price equal to the Repurchase Price or (ii) if within two years of the Startup Day, or such other period permitted by the REMIC Provisions, substitute for any Mortgage Loan to which such material defect relates, a new mortgage loan (a "Substitute Mortgage Loan") having such characteristics so that the representations and warranties of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.03(b) hereof (other than Section 2.03(b)(i)) would not have been incorrect had such Substitute Mortgage Loan originally been a Mortgage Loan. In no event shall any Substitute Mortgage Loan have an unpaid principal balance, as of the date of substitution, greater than the Scheduled Principal Balance (reduced by the scheduled payment of principal due on the Due Date in the month of substitution) of the Mortgage Loan for which it is substituted. In addition, such Substitute Mortgage Loan shall have a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to and a Net Mortgage Interest Rate equal to that of the Mortgage Loan for which it is substituted. The Depositor shall determine the Repurchase Price or the eligibility of any Substitute Mortgage Loan and the Trustee shall be protected in relying on such determination. In the case of a repurchased Mortgage Loan or property, the Repurchase Price shall be deposited by the Depositor in the Certificate Account maintained by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01. In the case of a Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Owner Mortgage Loan File (and Retained Mortgage Loan File, if required pursuant to Section 2.01(b) hereof) relating thereto shall be delivered to the Custodian and the Substitution Principal Amount (if any), together with (i) interest on such Substitution Principal Amount at the applicable Net Mortgage Interest Rate to the following Due Date of such Mortgage Loan which is being substituted for and (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Periodic Advances in respect of interest previously made by the applicable Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall be deposited in the Certificate Account. The Monthly Payment on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Due Date in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Estate. Upon receipt by the Custodian of a Request for Release signed by an officer of the Depositor, the Custodian shall release to the Depositor the Owner Mortgage Loan File (and Retained Mortgage Loan File, if applicable) of the Mortgage Loan being removed. The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instrument of transfer or assignment (or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan registered in the name of MERS or its designee, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the applicable Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to take all necessary action to reflect such assignment on the records of MERS), in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Depositor legal and beneficial ownership of such substituted or repurchased Mortgage Loan or property. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Depositor to substitute a new Mortgage Loan for or repurchase any Mortgage Loan or property as to which such a material defect in a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The failure of the Custodian to give the final certification or the Trustee to give any notice within the required time periods shall not affect or relieve the Depositor's obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02.
Acceptance by the Transferee The Transferee agrees to comply with all covenants and restrictions applicable to a Holder of the 2012-1 SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 2012-1 SUBI represented thereby, whether set forth in the 2012-1 SUBI Certificate, in the SUBI Trust Agreement or otherwise, and assumes all obligations and liabilities, if any, associated therewith.
