Indemnities of Servicer The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement: (a) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Note Registrar, the Securities Intermediary, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder and any of the officers, directors, employees and agents of the each such party from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses, and including any such reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim, or suit brought by such indemnified parties) of any indemnification or other obligation of the Servicer), arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof of a Financed Vehicle. (b) [Reserved]. (c) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Intermediary, the Certificateholder and the Noteholders and any of the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Seller, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Intermediary, the Certificateholder and the Noteholders from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses, and including any such reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim, or suit brought by such indemnified parties) of any indemnification or other obligation of the Servicer), to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of, or is imposed upon any such Person through, the negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, including those that may be incurred by any such indemnified party as a result of any act or omission by the Servicer in connection with its maintenance and custody of the Receivables Files. (d) Promptly after receipt by a party indemnified under this Section 7.02 or Section 4.08 (a “Servicer Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Servicer Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the party providing indemnification under this Section 7.02 or 4.08 (a “Servicer Indemnifying Party”), notify such Servicer Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof. In case any such action is brought against any Servicer Indemnified Party under this Section 7.02 or 4.08 and it notifies the Servicer Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Servicer Indemnifying Party will assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Servicer Indemnified Party (who may, unless there is, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the Servicer Indemnified Party stating that there is an unwaivable conflict of interest, be counsel to the Servicer Indemnifying Party), and the Servicer Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Servicer Indemnified Party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Servicer Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation. The obligations set forth in this Section 7.02 and Section 4.08 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest. For purposes of this Section, in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of TMCC (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 7.03) as Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01, or a resignation by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to be the Servicer pending appointment of a successor Servicer (other than the Indenture Trustee) pursuant to Section 8.02.
Representations of Servicer The Servicer makes the following representations on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Receivables. The representations speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, and shall survive the sale of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to the Indenture.
Covenants of Servicer Unless required by law or court order, the Servicer will not release the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except (i) in the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, (ii) in connection with repossession or (iii) as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from any Insurance Policy covering such Financed Vehicle.
Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Servicers (a) The Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Master Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Master Servicer. (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer.
Duties of Servicer The Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuing Entity, and (to the extent provided herein) the Indenture Trustee shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer or Indenture Trustee, as applicable, exercises with respect to all comparable equipment receivables that it services for its Affiliates or others. The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons or statements to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions. Subject to Section 4.2, the Servicer shall follow its then current customary standards, policies and procedures (“Servicing Procedures”) in performing its duties as Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Noteholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Receivables or the Financed Equipment securing such Receivables. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuing Entity shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Receivable to the Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Trustee shall, at the Servicer’s direction (and, so long as the Servicer is NH Credit, at the Servicer’s expense), take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders. The Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Servicer, furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
Events of Servicing Termination (a) The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute an event of servicing termination hereunder (each, an “Event of Servicing Termination”): (i) any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, each Paying Agent or the Rating Agencies the Servicer’s Certificate for any Collection Period, which failure shall continue unremedied beyond three (3) Business Days following the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, or any failure by the Servicer to make any required payment or deposit under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied beyond five (5) Business Days following the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class; or (ii) any failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenant or agreement in this Agreement, which failure shall materially and adversely affect the rights of the Depositor or the Noteholders and shall continue unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class; or (iii) any representation or warranty of the Servicer made in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, other than any representation and warranty relating to a Receivable that has been purchased by the Servicer, proving to have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, and the circumstance or condition in respect of which such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such circumstance or condition, requiring the same to be eliminated or cured, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class; or (iv) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or trustee for the Servicer in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, which decree or order continues unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; or (v) the consent by the Servicer to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or trustee in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding of or relating to the Servicer or relating to substantially all of its property, the admission in writing by the Servicer of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, the filing by the Servicer of a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, the making by the Servicer of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or the voluntary suspension by the Servicer of payment of its obligations. If an Event of Servicing Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, in each case by notice then given in writing to the Depositor, the Administrator and the Servicer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that the indemnification obligations of the Servicer under Section 7.2 shall survive such termination. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates, the Trust Property or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or other successor Servicer appointed under Section 8.2; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such other successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation that was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the appointment of the Indenture Trustee or such other successor Servicer or any claim of any third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer. (b) The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall have no obligation to notify the Noteholders, the Certificateholders or any other Person of the occurrence of any event specified in Section 8.1(a) prior to the continuance of such event through the end of any cure period specified in Section 8.1(a).
Duties of Servicer as Custodian (a) Safekeeping. The Servicer (or its Affiliates, but only in accordance with the second following sentence) shall hold the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable the Issuing Entity to comply with this Agreement. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to the receivable files relating to all comparable equipment receivables that the Servicer services for its Affiliates or others. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, may at any time delegate its duties as custodian to any Affiliate of the Servicer; provided, that no such delegation shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuing Entity, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee for its duties hereunder as if the Servicer alone were performing such duties. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Servicer’s record keeping. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee any material failure on its part, or its Affiliate’s part, to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuing Entity, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files.
Instruments of Service Instruments of Service are representations, in any medium of expression now known or later developed, of the tangible and intangible creative work performed by the Architect and the Architect’s consultants under their respective professional services agreements. Instruments of Service may include, without limitation, studies, surveys, models, sketches, drawings, specifications, and other similar materials.
Termination of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers (a) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, the Master Servicer shall either act as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by a successor Servicer to be appointed as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may be a transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of servicing to a successor Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from each Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer or all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data, as may be required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively. (b) If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Servicer in the related Servicing Agreement, and in the event of any such assumption by the successor Servicer, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and warranties. (c) If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable. To the extent that the Master Servicer is unable to find a successor Servicer that is willing to service the Mortgage Loans for the Servicing Fee because of the obligation of the Servicer to make Advances regardless of whether such Advance is recoverable, the applicable Servicing Agreement may be amended to provide that the successor Servicer shall have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable and provides an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Master Servicer and the Trustee.
Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Contracts (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Collateral or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents or such other instrument or agreement. (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties and obligations under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the action or inaction of the Servicer or the Administrator. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture. (c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Transaction Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Collateral, including but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Transaction Document or any provision thereof without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Required Holders. (d) If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency thereof. Upon any termination of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee. As soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer. (e) The Issuer agrees that it will not waive timely performance or observance by the Servicer or the Seller of their respective duties under the Transaction Documents if the effect thereof would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes.
