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 Successor Trustee Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.10, each of the Company and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders. If the Company fails to deliver such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be delivered at the expense of the Company.
Acceptance by the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form of Exhibit G-1, and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans, 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 related Mortgage Notes in the State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies. The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller an Initial Certification in the form of Exhibit G-1. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loans. The Trustee 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. By the thirtieth day after the Closing Date (or if that day is not a Business Day, the succeeding Business Day), the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Seller a Delay Delivery Certification with respect to the Mortgage Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. By the ninetieth day after the Closing Date (or if that day is not a Business Day, the succeeding Business Day), the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller a Final Certification with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the form of Exhibit H, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. If, in the course of its review, the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File that does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification. The Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in 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 Seller shall promptly correct any defect that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders within 90 days from the date it was so notified of the defect and, if the Seller does not correct the defect within that period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the pursuant Section 2.03, or (b) purchase the Mortgage Loan at its Purchase Price from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of the defect in writing. If a substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required because of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office, or there is a dispute between either the Master Servicer or the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document, then the substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. In no other case may a substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) that has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of the Mortgage Loan. The notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected before the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected before the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for the month. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate Account by the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of the deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit O, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller's request any instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, necessary to vest in the Seller, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of any other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time. The obligation of the Seller to substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan that does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor, and any Certificateholder against the 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 Indenture Trustee (a) On the Closing Date, the Custodian shall execute and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Sponsor (with a copy to the Credit Enhancer) the Initial Certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. If Mortgage Loans have been delivered after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.01(e), the Custodian shall execute and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Sponsor (with a copy to the Credit Enhancer) a Delay Delivery Certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement within the period specified in the Custodial Agreement. Within 180 days after the Closing Date, Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Sponsor (with a copy to the Credit Enhancer) a Final Certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. The Sponsor shall correct any defect noted in the Final Certification within 90 days of its receipt.
(b) All interest of the Trust in the Mortgage Loan shall be retransferred without recourse, representation, or warranty to the Sponsor and the Asset Balance of the Mortgage Loan shall be deducted from the Loan Group Balance of the related Loan Group on the next Business Day after the Transfer Deposit Amount is deposited to the Collection Account and any other applicable requirements are satisfied if
(i) the time to correct any defect in any Mortgage Loan noted on the Final Certification has expired,
(ii) the Trust ever incurs any loss on any Mortgage Loan because any document in its Mortgage File is defective, or
(iii) an Assignment of Mortgage to the Indenture Trustee has not been recorded in accordance with Section 2.01(i) and the Mortgage Loan is not registered on the MERS(R) System. Interest accrued on the Asset Balance of the Mortgage Loan to the end of the related Collection Period shall be the property of the Trust. The Indenture Trustee shall determine if reducing the relevant Loan Group Balance by the Asset Balance of the retransferred Mortgage Loan would cause a Transfer Deficiency for the related Loan Group. If so, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Sponsor of the deficiency, and within five Business Days after the retransfer the Sponsor shall either
Acceptance of REMIC I by the Trustee Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee or the Custodian acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(a)(iv)) above and all other assets included under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition of “REMIC I” (to the extent of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account) and declares that the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File on behalf of the Trust, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “REMIC I” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee also acknowledges receipt of the amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Reserve Fund in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee agrees on or before the Closing Date, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review, or cause the Custodian to review, each Mortgage File and to certify and deliver, or cause the Custodian to certify and deliver an initial certification, to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (the “Initial Certification”). It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, neither the Trustee nor the Custodian was under any duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose (including with respect to Section 2.01(a)(vi), whether such title insurance policy insures the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien) or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(a)(iv). Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller and the Servicer a final certification in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 (the “Final Certification”) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee or the Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee shall so notify the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Originator or the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, respectively, in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement against the Originator or the Seller, respectively, shall be effected by the Trustee. The Trustee shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the Person against which such enforcement is directed; provided, however, if the sources of reimbursement described in clauses (i) and (ii) are insufficient, the Trustee may seek reimbursement for any remaining unreimbursed costs of such enforcement from the Trust Fund as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.
Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee for such series hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 10.4, pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6. If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts under separate indentures. No successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6.8 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9. Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 6.11, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Holders of Securities of each series affected, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books. If the Issuer fails to give such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer.
Appointment of Successor Servicer (a) Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or the Servicer’s resignation pursuant to Section 6.05, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (i) the date forty-five (45) days from the delivery to the Trustees of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer’s termination hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer, and the Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment (including its appointment as Administrator under the Administration Agreement as set forth in Section 7.02(b)) by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Trustees. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Total Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be legally unable or unwilling so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of automobile receivables (including light-duty trucks), as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. In no event shall the Successor Servicer be liable for the acts or omissions of any predecessor Servicer.
(b) Upon appointment, the Successor Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee acting as Successor Servicer) shall (i) be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer and shall be entitled to the Total Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (ii) become the Administrator pursuant to Section 1.09 of the Administration Agreement.
Acceptance by Trustee The Trustee acknowledges receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Custodial Agreement, and based solely upon a receipt or certification executed by the Custodian, receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(b)(i) above (except that for purposes of such acknowledgement only, a Mortgage Note may be endorsed in blank) and declares that it, or a Custodian as its agent, holds and will hold such documents and the other documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it, or a Custodian as its agent, and the rights of Residential Funding with respect to any Pledged Assets, Additional Collateral and the Surety Bond assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01, in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee or Custodian (such Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement) agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review each Mortgage File delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01(b) within 45 days after the Closing Date to ascertain that all required documents (specifically as set forth in Section 2.01(b)), have been executed and received, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, as supplemented, that have been conveyed to it, and to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (the "Interim Certification") to the effect that all documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(b) above have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. Upon delivery of the Mortgage Files by the Company or the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Custodial Agreement, and based solely upon a receipt or certification executed by the Custodian, receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(c) above. If the Custodian, as the Trustee's agent, finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective, the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Master Servicer and the Company. Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will notify the Master Servicer, the Company and the Trustee of any such omission or defect found by it in respect of any Mortgage File held by it in respect of the items reviewed by it pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. If such omission or defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the related Subservicer or Seller of such omission or defect and request that such Subservicer or Seller correct or cure such omission or defect within 60 days from the date the Master Servicer was notified of such omission or defect and, if such Subservicer or Seller does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such period, that such Subservicer or Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at its Purchase Price, in either case within 90 days from the date the Master Servicer was notified of such omission or defect; provided that if the omission or defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan, whether purchased by the Seller or the Subservicer, shall be deposited or caused to be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account maintained by it pursuant to Section 3.07 and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee or any Custodian, as the case may be, shall release to the Master Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Master Servicer, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee or the Subservicer or its designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be part of the Trust Fund. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Subservicer or Seller that repurchases the Mortgage Loan is not a member of MERS and the Mortgage is registered on the MERS(R) System, the Master Servicer, at its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to such Subservicer or Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules and regulations. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller or the Subservicer, as the case may be, to so cure or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a material and adverse defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect or omission available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
Acceptance by Successor If the Trust Collateral Agent has resigned or has been removed pursuant to this Section 9.10, the Issuer (or the Owner Trustee, on its behalf (acting at the written direction of the Majority Certificateholder)) shall have the sole right to appoint each successor Trust Collateral Agent that meets the qualifications required hereunder. Every temporary or permanent successor Trust Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Owner Trustee, each Noteholder, each Certificateholder, the Rating Agencies, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and the relevant predecessor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other documents and instruments as will effectuate the delivery of all Collateral to the successor Trust Collateral Agent, whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor. Such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of such predecessor hereunder. In the event that any instrument in writing from the Issuer is reasonably required by a successor Trust Collateral Agent to more fully and certainly vest in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations vested or intended to be vested hereunder in the Trust Collateral Agent, any and all such written instruments shall, at the request of the temporary or permanent successor Trust Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer (or the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, (acting at the written direction of the Majority Certificateholders)), as the case may be. The designation of any successor Trust Collateral Agent and the instrument or instruments removing any Trust Collateral Agent and appointing a successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for herein, shall be maintained with the records relating to the Trust Property and, to the extent required by applicable law, filed or recorded by the successor Trust Collateral Agent in each place where such filing or recording is necessary to effect the transfer of the Trust Property to the successor Trust Collateral Agent or to protect or continue the perfection of the security interests granted hereunder. If no successor Trust Collateral Agent shall have been appointed and accepted the appointment within sixty (60) days after the giving of notice of resignation, the resigning Trust Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trust Collateral Agent that meets the qualifications required hereunder.
