Representations and Warranties of the Asset Representations Reviewer The Asset Representations Reviewer hereby makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date:
Additional Representations and Warranties of the Trustee (a) The Trustee shall be deemed to represent and warrant to the Company as of the Closing Date and on each date on which information is provided to the Company under Sections 12.01, 12.02(b) or 12.03 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Company prior to such date: (i) it is not aware and has not received notice that any default, early amortization or other performance triggering event has occurred as to any other Securitization Transaction due to any default of the Trustee; (ii) there are no aspects of its financial condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by it of its trustee obligations under this Agreement or any other Securitization Transaction as to which it is the trustee; (iii) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against it that would be material to Certificateholders; (iv) there are no relationships or transactions (as described in Item 1119(b) of Regulation AB) relating to the Trustee with respect to the Company or any sponsor, issuing entity, servicer, trustee, originator, significant obligor, enhancement or support provider or other material transaction party (as each of such terms are used in Regulation AB) relating to the Securitization Transaction contemplated by the Agreement, as identified by the Company to the Trustee in writing as of the Closing Date (each, a "Transaction Party") that are outside the ordinary course of business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm's length transaction with an unrelated third party, apart from the Securitization Transaction, and that are material to the investors' understanding of the Certificates; and (v) the Trustee is not an affiliate (as contemplated by Item 1119(a) of Regulation AB) of any Transaction Party. The Company shall notify the Trustee of any change in the identity of a Transaction Party after the Closing Date.
(b) If so requested by the Company on any date following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such confirmation, provide the pertinent facts, in writing, to the Company. Any such request from the Company shall not be given more than once each calendar quarter, unless the Company shall have a reasonable basis for questioning the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties.
Repurchase Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation and Warranty It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates evidencing an interest in all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination or lack of examination of any Mortgage File. With respect to the representations and warranties contained herein that are made to the knowledge or the best knowledge of the Seller, or as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of any such representation and warranty is inaccurate and the inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, designee or transferee, then notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty and the Seller shall take such action described in the following paragraphs of this Section 6 in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties made by the Seller that materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Seller that materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest therein of the Purchaser, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price. The Seller may, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming the Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase a deficient Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans. If the Seller does not provide a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall occur on a date designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase or substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. At the time of substitution or repurchase by the Seller of any deficient Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Trustee relating to the deficient or repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the Purchase Price is deposited in the Collection Account. The Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit, give written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon such repurchase, the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Purchaser or its designee for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and such other documents and agreements as are required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall remit for deposit in the Collection Account the Monthly Payment due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Section 5. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee on behalf of the Purchaser. It is understood and agreed that (i) the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 6 to cure, repurchase and substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan and (ii) the obligations of the Seller as provided in the next sentence constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a missing or defective document or a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5(a), (c), (d) and (e) this Agreement.
Basic Representations Section 3(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by the deletion of “and” at the end of Section 3(a)(iv); the substitution of a semicolon for the period at the end of Section 3(a)(v) and the addition of Sections 3(a)(vi), as follows:
Covenants for Reporting of Repurchase Demands due to Breaches of Representations and Warranties (a) The Owner Trustee will (i) in accordance with its obligations pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, provide prompt written notice upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties, (ii) no later than five (5) Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter, provide to the Servicer, GM Financial and the Seller, a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit C, or any other form agreed upon between the Owner Trustee and the Seller, which shall be deemed acceptable to the Seller unless the Seller notifies the Owner Trustee within five (5) Business Days of its receipt thereof, with respect to any requests (in writing or orally) for the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement or Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement received by a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee during the immediately preceding calendar quarter (or, in the case of the initial notice, since the Closing Date) and (iii) promptly upon reasonable written request by the Servicer, GM Financial or the Seller, provide to them any other information reasonably requested in good faith that is in actual possession of the Owner Trustee and necessary to facilitate compliance by them with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, and Items 1104(e) and 1121(c) of Regulation AB.
(b) In no event will the Owner Trustee or the Trust have any responsibility or liability in connection with (i) the compliance by the Servicer, GM Financial, the Seller or any other Person with the Exchange Act or Regulation AB or (ii) any filing required to be made by a securitizer under the Exchange Act or Regulation AB. The Owner Trustee will not have a duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any conditions requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement or Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
