Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments Continuously from the Closing Date or Servicing Transfer Date, as applicable, until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and each related Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
Repurchase of Mortgage Loans Upon discovery or notice of any breach by the Assignor of any representation, warranty or covenant under this Assignment Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein if the Assignee incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Assignee promptly shall request that the Assignor cure such breach and, if the Assignor does not cure such breach in all material respects within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by the Assignor of such breach or the date on which it is notified of the breach, the Assignee may enforce the Assignor’s obligation hereunder to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Assignee at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Trust Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a Qualification Defect (as defined in the Sale Agreement), then such cure or repurchase must take place within 90 days of discovery of such Qualification Defect. In the event of a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Assignor, the Assignee shall promptly deliver to the Assignor or its designee the related Collateral File and shall assign to the Assignor all of the Assignee’s rights and obligations under the Servicing Agreement, but only insofar as the Servicing Agreement relates to such Mortgage Loan. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Assignee shall have no responsibility to enforce any provision of this Assignment Agreement, to oversee compliance hereof or to take notice of any breach or default thereof.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER Section 9.01 Duties of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s Obligations.
(a) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders shall monitor the performance of the Servicers under the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, and shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Servicers duly and punctually to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder. Upon the occurrence of a default of which an Authorized Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge under a Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer is taking in respect of such default. So long as any such default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer may, and shall if it determines such action to be in the best interests of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement against such Servicer; and/or (iii) waive any such default under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Purchase and Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall have no duty or obligation to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of, or to enforce the obligations of, a Servicer under its Purchase and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Additional Collateral or any Limited Purpose Surety Bond relating thereto, including, without limitation, the collection of any amounts owing to the Trust Fund in respect thereof (unless and until the Master Servicer shall have assumed the obligations of such Servicer as successor servicer under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01, in which case, as successor servicer, it shall be bound to serve and administer the Additional Collateral and any related Limited Purpose Surety Bond in accordance with the provisions of the such Purchase and Servicing Agreement).
(b) Upon any termination by the Master Servicer of a Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the rights and powers of such Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall vest in the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to such Servicer in its capacity as Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, unless or until the Master Servicer shall have appointed, with the consent of the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, a new Xxxxxx Xxx- or FHLMC-approved Person to serve as successor to the Servicer; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to a successor servicer (including the Master Servicer). With such consent, the Master Servicer may elect to continue to serve as successor servicer under the Purchase and Servicing Agreement. Upon appointment of a successor servicer, as authorized under this Section 9.01(b), unless the successor servicer shall have assumed the obligations of the terminated Servicer under such Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee and such successor servicer shall enter into a servicing agreement in a form substantially similar to the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such appointment, the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor servicer as it and such successor servicer shall agree, but in no event shall such compensation of any successor servicer (including the Master Servicer) be in excess of that payable to the Servicer under the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement (including the termination of a Servicer, the appointment of a successor servicer or the transfer and assumption of the servicing by the Master Servicer) at its own expense and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) by the terminated Servicer, (ii) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (iii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorney’s fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, or (iv) to the extent that such amounts described in (i)-(iii) above are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for such costs of enforcement, from the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 9.04. If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of any Servicer it replaces or for the errors or omissions of such Servicer.
(c) Upon any termination of a Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, specifying in such notice that the Master Servicer or any successor servicer, as the case may be, has succeeded such Servicer under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, which notice shall also specify the name and address of any such successor servicer.
(d) Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall consent to the assignment by any Servicer of such Servicer’s rights and obligations under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Repurchase, Purchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans (a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement, by Xxxxxx Holdings pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement or by any Transferor pursuant to the applicable Transfer Agreement, the principal portion of the funds received by the Trustee in respect of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and shall be deposited in the Collection Account. The Trustee, upon receipt of the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, or upon its receipt of notification from the applicable Custodian that it has received the Mortgage File for a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan (and any applicable Substitution Amount), shall release or cause to be released and reassigned to the Depositor, Xxxxxx Holdings or the applicable Transferor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in such party or its designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared by the applicable Servicer or the Trustee (or its custodian), and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of the Seller relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with the terms of this Section 2.05 and the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, to the extent that any such action causes (i) any federal or state tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(2) of the Code, or (ii) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(b) With respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the Trustee (or its custodian) pursuant to the terms of this Article II in exchange for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor, the applicable Transferor or Xxxxxx Holdings must deliver to the Trustee (or its custodian) the Mortgage File for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan containing the documents set forth in Section 2.01(b) along with a written certification certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing the granting language set forth in Section 2.01(a); and (ii) the Depositor will be deemed to have made, with respect to such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and warranties made by it with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan. As soon as practicable after the delivery of any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Trustee, at the expense of the Depositor and at the direction and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall, with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause the Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded by such Servicer if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(i), or the Servicer shall, with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii).
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right to substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the additional limitations that no substitution of a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan shall be made unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make the substitution) that, under current law, such substitution will not (A) affect adversely the status of any REMIC established hereunder as a REMIC, or of the related “regular interests” as “regular interests” in any such REMIC, or (B) cause any such REMIC to engage in a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
Substitution of Mortgage Loans Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of purchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.02 or 2.03 of this Agreement, the Seller may, no later than the date by which such purchase by the Seller would otherwise be required, tender to the Trustee a Substitute Mortgage Loan accompanied by a certificate of an authorized officer of the Seller that such Substitute Mortgage Loan conforms to the requirements set forth in the definition of "Substitute Mortgage Loan" in this Agreement; provided, however, that substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, in lieu of purchase shall not be permitted after the termination of the two-year period beginning on the Startup Day; provided, further, that if the breach 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 substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was discovered. The Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, shall examine the Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 2.02(a) and the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall notify the Seller, in writing, within five Business Days after receipt, whether or not the documents relating to the Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfy the requirements of the fifth sentence of Subsection 2.02(a). Within two Business Days after such notification, the Seller shall provide to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the next preceding Due Date of the Mortgage Loan for which substitution is being made, after giving effect to the Scheduled Principal due on such date, exceeds the Outstanding Principal Balance as of such date of the Substitute Mortgage Loan, after giving effect to Scheduled Principal due on such date, which amount shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it were the payment by the Seller of the Repurchase Price for the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Seller. After such notification to the Seller and, if any such excess exists, upon receipt of such deposit, the Trustee shall accept such Substitute Mortgage Loan which shall thereafter be deemed to be a Mortgage Loan hereunder. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Trust Fund and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Seller. The Scheduled Principal on a Substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller and the Scheduled Principal on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such Due Date shall be the property of the Trust Fund. Upon acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan (and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan), the Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File related to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty in form as provided to it as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable. The Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the documents related to the Substitute Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Subsections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, with the date of acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan deemed to be the Closing Date for purposes of the time periods set forth in those Subsections. The representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been made by the Seller with respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date of acceptance of such Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such substitution and shall provide a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies.
Liquidation of Mortgage Loans In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as (1) the Servicer would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (3) the Servicer shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of the Owner, and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 and remains delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days or any other default continues for a period of 90 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period, the Servicer shall commence foreclosure proceedings, provided that, prior to commencing foreclosure proceedings, the Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in writing of the Servicer's intention to do so, and the Servicer shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Master Servicer objects to such action within 10 Business Days of receiving such notice. In such connection, the Servicer shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine (a) that such preservation, restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Owner after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05) or through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Owner or the Master Servicer otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector, the Servicer shall cause such an environmental inspection or review to be made by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Master Servicer shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Master Servicer directs the Servicer to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof. In the event the Master Servicer directs the Servicer not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof.
Advance of Funds by the Mortgage Loan Seller Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.
Sale of Mortgage Loans Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller does hereby transfer, assign, set over, deposit with and otherwise convey to the Depositor, without recourse, subject to Sections 1.03 and 1.04, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on Schedules A and B hereto, having an approximate aggregate principal balance of $1,037,120,000. Such conveyance includes, without limitation, the right to all distributions of principal and interest received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans on and after the Cut-off Date, other than payments of principal and interest due on or before such date, and all such payments due after such date but received prior to such date and intended by the related Mortgagors to be applied after such date, all Prepayment Charges received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or after the Cut-off Date, together with all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each related account and all amounts from time to time credited to and the proceeds of such account, any REO Property and the proceeds thereof, the Seller’s rights under any Insurance Policies relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Seller’s security interest in any collateral pledged to secure the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgaged Properties, and any proceeds of the foregoing. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller hereby assigns to the Depositor all of its rights and interest under each Transfer Agreement and each Servicing Agreement, other than any servicing rights retained thereunder, and delegates to the Depositor all of its obligations thereunder, to the extent relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Seller and the Depositor further agree that this Agreement incorporates the terms and conditions of any assignment and assumption agreement or other assignment document required to be entered into under any of the Transfer Agreements (any such document an “Assignment Agreement”) and that this Agreement constitutes an Assignment Agreement under such Transfer Agreement, and the Depositor hereby assumes the obligations of the assignee under each such Assignment Agreement. Concurrently with the execution hereof, the Depositor tenders the purchase price set forth in that certain Terms Letter dated as of the date hereof, the form of which is attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Purchase Price”). The Depositor hereby accepts such assignment and delegation, and shall be entitled to exercise all the rights of the Seller under each Transfer Agreement and each Servicing Agreement, other than any servicing rights thereunder, as if the Depositor had been a party to each such agreement.
Sale and Conveyance of Mortgage Loans Seller agrees to sell and Purchaser agrees to purchase, from time to time, those certain Mortgage Loans identified in a Mortgage Loan Schedule, on the price and terms set forth herein. Purchaser, on any Funding Date, shall be obligated to purchase only such Mortgage Loans set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Purchaser will purchase Mortgage Loan(s) from Seller, from time to time on such Funding Dates as may be agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller. The closing shall, at Purchaser's option be either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree; or conducted in person at such place, as the parties shall agree. On the Funding Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Seller will sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse except as set forth in this Agreement, and the Purchaser will purchase, all of the right, title and interest of the applicable Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans being conveyed by it hereunder, as identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Examination of the Mortgage Files may be made by Purchaser or its designee as follows. No later than five business days prior to the Funding Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser or Custodian Legal Documents required pursuant to Schedule B. Upon Purchaser's request, Seller shall make the Credit Documents available to Purchaser for review, at Seller's place of business and during reasonable business hours. If Purchaser makes such examination prior to the Funding Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the Cendant Guide, such Mortgage Loans will be deleted from the Mortgage Loan Schedule at Purchaser's discretion. Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Loan files shall not affect Purchaser's rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided herein. On the Funding Date and in accordance with the terms herein, Purchaser will pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Purchase Price, together with interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate from the Cut-Off Date to the Funding Date, according to the instructions to be provided, respectively, by Cendant Mortgage and the Trust. Purchaser shall be entitled to all scheduled principal due after the Cut-Off Date, all other recoveries of principal collected after the Funding Date and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans (minus that portion of any such payment which is allocable to the period prior to the Funding Date). The principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the Funding Date is determined after application of payments of principal due on or before the Funding Date whether or not collected. Therefore, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a due date beyond the Funding Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the Funding Date. Such prepaid amounts shall be the property of Purchaser. Seller shall hold any such prepaid amounts for the benefit of Purchaser for subsequent remittance by Seller to Purchaser. All scheduled payments of principal due on or before the Funding Date and collected by Seller after the Funding Date shall belong to Seller.
