(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the Purchasers and which continues to be unremedied for a period of 30 days after the first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such incorrectness requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer by the Deal Agent and (ii) the date on which the Servicer becomes aware thereof;
(d) an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer;
(e) any material delegation of the Servicer's duties which is not permitted by Section 7.1;
(f) any financial or Asset information reasonably requested by the Deal Agent or the Purchaser as provided herein is not reasonably provided as requested;

(h) the failure of the Servicer to make any payment due with respect to aggregate recourse debt or other obligations with an aggregate principal amount exceeding U.S. $1,000,000 or the occurrence of any event or condition which would permit acceleration of such recourse debt or other obligations if such event or condition has not been waived;

(j) any change in the control of the Servicer which takes the form of either a merger or consolidation in which the Servicer is not the surviving entity. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any such Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, the Deal Agent, by written notice to the Servicer (with a copy to the Backup Servicer) (a "Termination Notice"), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement.
Servicer Default Any one of the following events shall constitute a default by the Servicer (a “Servicer Default”):
(a) any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in any of the Trust Accounts or distribution to the Certificateholders any required payment or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make any required distributions therefrom, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five Business Days after written notice of such failure is received by the Servicer from the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer; or
(b) failure by the Servicer or, if the Servicer is an affiliate of the Depositor, the Depositor, as the case may be, duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer or the Depositor (as the case may be) set forth in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of Certificateholders or Noteholders and (ii) continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given (A) to the Servicer or the Depositor (as the case may be) by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (B) to the Servicer or the Depositor (as the case may be), and to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of the Notes evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Securities and the Holders (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of the percentage interest of the Certificates; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clause (a) above for a period of ten Business Days or referred to under clause (b) for a period of 90 Business Days, shall not constitute a Servicer Default if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and was caused by an act of God or other similar occurrence. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Servicer shall not be relieved from using its best efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations. So long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied or stayed by the application of the above paragraph, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Notes evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Securities, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders) may terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 7.02 hereof) of the Servicer under this Agreement. 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 or the Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, for the benefit of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received by it with respect to any Receivable. Further, in such event, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing of the Receivables to the successor Servicer, and as promptly as practicable, the Servicer shall provide to the successor Servicer a current computer tape containing all information from the Receivables Files required for the proper servicing of the Receivables, together with the documentation containing any and all information necessary for the use of the tape. All reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Owner Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Depositor who promptly shall provide such notice to the Rating Agencies.
Owner Default Failure of the Owner, which has not been remedied or waived, to pay the Contractor as required under the Construction Contract or to perform and complete or comply with the other material terms of the Construction Contract.

Servicing Default If any one of the following events ("Servicing Default") shall occur and be continuing:
(a) Any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the Custodial Account or Payment Account any deposit required to be made under the terms of this Servicing Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of five Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Credit Enhancer; or
(b) Failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Master Servicer set forth in the Securities or in this Servicing Agreement, which failure, in each case, materially and adversely affects the interests of Securityholders or the Credit Enhancer and which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Credit Enhancer; or
(c) The entry against the Master Servicer of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship, receivership, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(d) The Master Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property, or a decree or order of a court, agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations, then, and in every such case, so long as a Servicing Default shall not have been remedied by the Master Servicer, either the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Credit Enhancer, or the Credit Enhancer, by notice then given in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee if given by the Credit Enhancer) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer as servicer under this Servicing Agreement other than its right to receive servicing compensation and expenses for servicing the Home Equity Loans hereunder during any period prior to the date of such termination and the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Credit Enhancer, or the Credit Enhancer may exercise any and all other remedies available at law or equity. Any such notice to the Master Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Credit Enhancer and the Issuer. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Servicing Agreement, whether with respect to the Securities or the Home Equity Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee as pledgee of the Home Equity Loans, as successor Master Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each Home Equity Loan and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Master Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Indenture Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts relating to the Home Equity Loans that shall at the time be held by the Master Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Custodial Account, or that have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account or thereafter received by the Master Servicer with respect to the Home Equity Loans. All reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with amending this Servicing Agreement to reflect such succession as Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer (or if the predecessor Master Servicer is the Indenture Trustee, the initial Master Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a payment on a Home Equity Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating the Master Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder and received after such notice, that portion to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 3.09 as well as its Master Servicing Fee in respect thereof, and any other amounts payable to the Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance under Section 7.01(a) or under Section 7.01(b) after the applicable grace periods specified in such Sections, shall not constitute a Servicing Default if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Master Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. The preceding sentence shall not relieve the Master Servicer from using reasonable efforts to perform its respective obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee, the Credit Enhancer and the Securityholders with notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations. The Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Indenture Trustee, the Credit Enhancer and the Owner Trustee in writing of any Servicing Default.
Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee; During Default; Prior to Default With respect to the Holders of any series of Securities issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a particular series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to such series, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise with respect to such series of Securities such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that
(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred:
(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);
(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the holders pursuant to Section 4.09 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not reasonably assured to it. The provisions of this Section 5.01 are in furtherance of and subject to Sections 315 and 316 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
Consequences of a Servicer Default If a Servicer Default shall occur and be continuing, either the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders whose Notes evidence not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date (or, if the Notes have been paid in full and the Indenture has been discharged in accordance with its terms, by the Owner Trustee or the Majority Certificateholders as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date) by notice then given in writing to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders or the Certificateholders) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. 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 or the Receivables or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 7.02. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or that shall have been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account, or the Note Distribution Account or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables that shall at that time be held by the Servicer.
Servicer Events of Default (a) Notwithstanding Section 8.03 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, only the occurrence and continuation of any of the following events will be an “Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default” with respect to the 2021-A Exchange Note, and the “Exchange Note Servicer Events of Default” set forth in Section 8.03(a) of the Basic Servicing Agreement shall not apply to the 2021-A Exchange Note or to this 2021-A Servicing Supplement:
(i) any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee any proceeds or payment required to be so delivered with respect to the 2021-A Exchange Note under the Basic Servicing Agreement or this 2021-A Servicing Supplement that continues unremedied for ten Business Days after the earlier of the date on which (A) notice of such failure is given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or (B) an Authorized Officer of the Servicer has actual knowledge of such failure;
(ii) any failure by the Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other of its covenants or agreements in the 2021-A Servicing Agreement, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of interests in the 2021-A Exchange Note, the Noteholders or, in the event that Certificates are sold to unaffiliated third parties, the Certificateholders, and which continues unremedied for 90 days after written notice thereof is given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee;
(iii) any representation, warranty or statement of the Servicer made in the 2021-A Servicing Agreement or any certificate, report or other writing delivered pursuant to the 2021-A Servicing Agreement shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect when made, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of interests in the 2021-A Exchange Note, the Noteholders or, in the event that Certificates are sold to unaffiliated third parties, the Certificateholders, and which failure continues unremedied for 90 days after written notice thereof is given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee; or
(iv) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer; provided, however, that the occurrence of any event set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) with respect to the 2021-A Reference Pool will be an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default only with respect to the 2021-A Reference Pool and will not be a Servicer Event Default with respect to any other Reference Pool or the Revolving Facility Pool. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) for a period of 120 days will not constitute an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default if that failure or delay was caused by Force Majeure. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Servicer will not be relieved from using all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of the Basic Servicing Agreement and this 2021-A Servicing Supplement.
(b) With respect to actions taken under Section 8.03(c) of the Basic Servicing Agreement after the occurrence of an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default, any actions to be taken by the 2021-A Exchange Noteholder thereunder shall be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, acting at the written direction of 66 2/3% of the Holders of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class.
(c) In accordance with Section 8.05 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, after the occurrence of an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default, the 2021-A Exchange Noteholder (which for purposes of this Section shall be the Indenture Trustee, acting at the written direction of 66 2/3% of the Holders of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class) may waive any such Servicer Event of Default and its consequences. Upon any such waiver, the applicable Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default will cease to exist, and will be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right consequent thereon.
(d) On or after the receipt by the Servicer of notice of an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default, all authority and power of the Servicer under this 2021-A Servicing Supplement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates, the Trust Estate or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer as may be appointed pursuant to the terms of the Basic Servicing Agreement. If the Indenture Trustee shall become Successor Servicer pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as sub-Servicer any one of its Affiliates or agents; provided that the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Servicer shall be fully liable for the actions or omissions of such Affiliate or agent in such capacity as sub-Servicer. The outgoing Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the outgoing Servicer under this 2021-A Servicing Supplement, including the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the outgoing Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the outgoing Servicer, in the 2021-A Bank Accounts or thereafter received with respect to the 2021-A Leases and 2021-A Vehicles and all information or documents that the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer may require, and the Successor Servicer shall not be liable if it cannot perform due to the failure of the predecessor Servicer to so deliver. In addition, the Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the 2021-A Leases and 2021-A Vehicles to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request. All Transition Costs shall be paid by the outgoing Servicer (or by the initial Servicer if the outgoing Servicer is the Indenture Trustee acting on an interim basis) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.
Borrower Default Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
