Liability of the Seller and the Master Servicer The Seller and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Seller and the Master Servicer.
Authorization of the Servicer (a) Each of the Borrower, each Managing Agent, on behalf of itself and the related Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Hedge Counterparty hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the pledge of the Transferred Loans to the Lender, each Hedge Counterparty, and the Collateral Custodian, in the determination of the Servicer, to collect all amounts due under any and all Transferred Loans, including, without limitation, endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Transferred Loans and, after the delinquency of any Transferred Loan and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Originator could have done if it had continued to own such Loan; provided, however, that the Servicer may not execute any document in the name of, or which imposes any direct obligation on, any Lender. The Borrower shall furnish the Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectibility of the Transferred Loans. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Borrower, any Lender, any Managing Agent, any Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s consent.
(b) After an Early Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, at the Administrative Agent’s direction, the Servicer shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Transferred Loans; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, at any time that an Early Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to any Transferred Loans of the assignment of such Transferred Loans to the Administrative Agent and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due to the Borrower thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lock-box or other account designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Transferred Loans and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof. The Administrative Agent shall give written notice to any Successor Servicer of the Administrative Agent’s actions or directions pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), and no Successor Servicer shall take any actions pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) that are outside of its Credit and Collection Policy.
Responsibilities of the Seller (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. The Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or any of the Purchasers shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, Servicer, WESCO or the Originators thereunder.
(b) WESCO hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, WESCO shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that WESCO conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.
Organization of the Seller The Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.
Merger or Consolidation of the Seller or the Master Servicer Subject to the following paragraph, the Seller and the Master Servicer each will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement. The Seller or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Seller or Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller or Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Seller or Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that, in the case of the Master Servicer, any such successor or resulting Person shall be qualified to service mortgage loans for FNMA or FHLMC.
Subservicing Agreements between the Servicer and Subservicers (a) The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with subservicers (each, a "Subservicer"), for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans ("Subservicing Agreements"). The Servicer shall, within a reasonable period of time, give notice to the Trustee of any such Subservicing Agreement. The Trustee shall not be required to review or consent to such Subservicing Agreements and shall have no liability in connection therewith.
(b) Each Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution that has deposit accounts insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Subservicing Xxxxxxent must xxxxxe on the Subservicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will examine each Subservicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Subservicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Subservicers may enter into and make amendments to the Subservicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Trustee, without the consent of the Trustee. Any variation without the consent of the Trustee from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Subservicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Subservicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Subservicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor copies of all Subservicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trustee, shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related Subservicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Subservicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer 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 related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the Servicer to be Held for the Trustee The Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Custodian as required by this Agreement all documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. The documents constituting the Servicing File shall be held by the Servicer as custodian and bailee for the Trustee. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account, shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not knowingly create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account, Certificate Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance created by the Servicer, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.
Liability of the Seller The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement specifically undertaken by the Seller and with respect to its representations and warranties expressly set forth hereunder.
Liability of the Custodian for Actions of Others (a) Domestic Subcustodians ---------------------- The Custodian shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any Domestic Subcustodian to the same extent as if such actions or omissions were performed by the Custodian itself.
Termination upon Purchase by the Seller or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments after the Final Distribution Date to Certificateholders and the obligation of the Master Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth and the tax reporting obligations under Sections 4.05 and 8.14 hereof) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX following the earlier of (i) the purchase by the Seller of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Estate at a price equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than any REO Mortgage Loan) as of the Final Distribution Date, and (y) the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property related to any REO Mortgage Loan (as determined by the Master Servicer as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to the third paragraph of this Section 9.01), plus any accrued and unpaid interest through the last day of the month preceding the month of such purchase at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate less any Fixed Retained Yield on each Mortgage Loan (including any REO Mortgage Loan) and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Estate (including for this purpose the discharge of any Mortgagor under a defaulted Mortgage Loan on which a Servicer is not obligated to foreclose due to environmental impairment) or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. The right of the Seller to purchase all the assets of the Trust Estate pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph are subject to Section 9.02 and conditioned upon the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Final Distribution Date being less than the amount set forth in Section 11.22. In the case of any purchase by the Seller pursuant to said clause (i), the Seller shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.04 and the Trustee and the Custodian shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price, release to the Seller the Owner Mortgage Loan Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased. Notice of any termination, specifying the Final Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Estate) or by the Trustee (in any other case) by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution and not later than the twentieth day of the month of such final distribution specifying (A) the Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated, (B) the amount of any such final payment and (C) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made (except in the case of any Class A Certificate surrendered on a prior Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01) only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. If the Master Servicer is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall give such notice to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account on or before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the assets of the Trust Estate computed as above provided. Failure to give notice of termination as described herein shall not entitle a Certificateholder to any interest beyond the interest payable on the Final Distribution Date. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders on the Final Distribution Date in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests an amount equal to (i) as to the Classes of Class A Certificates, the respective Principal Balance together with any related Class A Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest in an amount equal to the respective Interest Accrual Amount, (ii) as to the Classes of Class B Certificates, the respective Principal Balance together with any related Class B Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest in an amount equal to the respective Interest Accrual Amount and (iii) as to the Class A-R Certificate, the amounts, if any, which remain on deposit in the Certificate Account (other than amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above and payment to the Master Servicer of any amounts it is entitled as reimbursement or otherwise hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the price paid pursuant to clause (i) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01, after reimbursement to the Servicers, the Master Servicer and the Trustee of any Periodic Advances, is insufficient to pay in full the amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph, then any shortfall in the amount available for distribution to Certificateholders shall be allocated in reduction of the amounts otherwise distributable on the Final Distribution Date in the same manner as Realized Losses are allocated pursuant to Sections 4.02(b) and 4.02(g) hereof. Such distribution on the Final Distribution Date shall be in lieu of the distribution otherwise required to be made on such Distribution Date in respect of each Class of Certificates. In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation within three months following the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds, if any, in the Certificate Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer (if it exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Estate) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within three months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in such escrow account.
