Delegation of Services The Administrator may, at its expense, delegate to one or more entities some or all of the services for the Fund for which the Administrator is responsible under this Subcontract. The Administrator will be responsible for the compensation, if any, of any such entities for such services to the Fund, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties or with the Fund. Notwithstanding any delegation pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrator will continue to have responsibility and liability for all such services provided to the Fund under this Subcontract.
Designation of Servicer (a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pledged Contracts shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 6.01. Until the Program Agent, with the consent or at the direction of the Managing Agents, gives notice to the Borrower and the Servicer of the designation of a new Servicer as provided in Section 6.01(c) below, DTCC is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Borrower hereby grants to Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of the Borrower any and all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind in connection with any Pledged Contract or other Collateral.
(b) The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon the reasonable determination by the Servicer that (x) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law and (y) there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law. Any determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Program Agent.
(c) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing the Program Agent shall, if requested by the Majority Managing Agents, by notice in writing to the Servicer (a copy of which shall also be delivered to the Backup Servicer), terminate the Servicer’s management, administrative, servicing, custodial and collection functions (such termination being herein called a “Servicing Transfer”). On receipt of such notice (a “Termination Notice”) (or, if later, on a date designated therein), all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Pledged Contracts, the other Collateral or otherwise shall pass to and be vested in the Program Agent or its designee pursuant to and under this Section 6.01(c); and, without limitation, the Program Agent is 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 any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purpose of such Termination Notice. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Program Agent in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Program Agent or its designee on behalf of the Lenders for administration by it of all Collections which shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account, or for its own account in connection with its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect to the Pledged Contracts and to assist the successor Servicer in enforcing all rights under the Pledged Contracts. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Contract Files to the successor Servicer, to reflect such succession as the Servicer pursuant to this Section 6.01, shall be paid by the replaced Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses; provided, however, that if the replaced Servicer fails to pay such costs and expenses promptly, the successor Servicer shall be entitled to recover such amounts in accordance with Section 2.06 or 2.07, as applicable. Upon such termination, any servicing compensation relating to periods prior to the date of termination of the replaced Servicer (including all amounts expended by the replaced Servicer that would otherwise have been reimbursable to it hereunder) shall be paid to the replaced Servicer.
(d) In the event of the Servicer’s termination hereunder, the Program Agent, with the consent of the Majority Managing Agents, shall appoint the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Program Agent. In the event that a successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with Section 6.01(c), the Program Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer, and shall be entitled to all of the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer, by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the predecessor Servicer, (ii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party involved in this transaction and (iv) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior servicer including the original servicer. The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer, upon becoming a successor Servicer are expressly limited to those instances of negligence or willful misconduct of the Backup Servicer in its role as successor Servicer. In connection with such appointment, subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of “Servicer Fee,” the Program Agent may, with the consent of the Majority Managing Agents, make such arrangements for the reasonable compensation of such successor Servicer as it and such successor Servicer shall agree. The Program Agent and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
(e) After a Servicing Transfer, the successor Servicer may, at the direction of the Program Agent (at the direction of the Majority Managing Agents) notify the Contract Debtors with respect to the Pledged Contracts of the interests of the Secured Parties in the Pledged Contracts and other Collateral and instruct such Contract Debtors to make payments that are due under the Pledged Contracts to the successor Servicer (or to the Program Agent or such other Person or account as the Program Agent shall designate) after the effective date of a Servicing Transfer. After a Servicing Transfer, the replaced Servicer shall have no future obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Pledged Contracts and the successor Servicer shall have all of such obligations, except that the replaced Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the successor Servicer for its own account, promptly upon receipt (but no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), any amounts for which it has good funds (properly endorsed where required for the successor Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Pledged Contracts and the replaced Servicer shall continue to do any and all things necessary to transfer the Contract Files and all books and records with respect to the Pledged Contracts hereunder. A Servicing Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the parties hereunder, other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Pledged Contracts.
(f) DTCC and any other Servicer agrees that, upon its resignation or replacement as Servicer pursuant to Section 6.01(b) or (c) above, it will cooperate with the Borrower, the Program Agent and the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights as Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) assisting the successor Servicer in enforcing all rights under the Pledged Contracts and other Collateral, (ii) transferring, promptly upon receipt, to the successor Servicer, any Collections or other amounts related to the Pledged Contracts or other Collateral received by such Servicer, (iii) transferring to the successor Servicer all Records held by or under the control of such Servicer and (iv) permitting the successor Servicer to have access to all tapes, discs, diskettes and related property containing information concerning the Pledged Contracts and other Collateral and the Records and taking all actions necessary in its control to permit the successor Servicer to use all computer software that may facilitate the Servicer’s access to and use of such information and acting as data processing agent for such successor Servicer if requested. Upon the resignation or replacement of DTCC as Servicer, DTCC shall no longer be entitled to the Servicer Fee accruing from and after the effective date of such resignation or replacement.
(g) Without the consent of each Managing Agent, the Servicer shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (x) an Approved Sub-servicer and (y) except with respect to certain Charged-Off Contracts, to outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Notwithstanding the delegation by the Servicer of any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person or the appointment of any Approved Sub-servicer pursuant to this Section 6.01(g), (i) the Servicer shall remain liable for the timely and complete performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall retain management information systems and sufficient servicing capability, in the reasonable judgment of the Program Agent and each Managing Agent, to perform the servicing functions described herein, and (iii) any sub-servicing agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Pledged Contracts involving an Approved Sub-servicer shall be deemed to be between such sub-servicer and the Servicer alone, and none of the Lenders, the Program Agent, the Managing Agents and the Liquidity Providers shall be deemed parties thereto or shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Approved Sub-servicer.
Termination of Servicer (a) If a Servicer Replacement Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Noteholders representing at least a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, by notice given to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator and the Noteholders, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables. In the event the Servicer is removed or resigns as Servicer with respect to servicing the Receivables, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor Servicer. Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination, such Servicer will continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in such termination notice, until receipt of such notice. If a successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the outgoing Servicer ceases to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action will automatically be appointed the successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee, if it is legally unable or is unwilling to so act, will appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Servicer. Any successor Servicer shall be an established institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of comparable motor vehicle receivables having an aggregate outstanding principal amount of not less than $50,000,000.
(b) Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may waive any Servicer Replacement Event. Upon any such waiver, such Servicer Replacement Event shall cease to exist and be deemed not to have occurred, and any Servicer Replacement Event arising therefrom shall be deemed not to have occurred for every purpose of this Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any prior, subsequent or other Servicer Replacement Event or impair any right consequent thereto.
(c) If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts at its own expense to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing of the Receivables to a successor Servicer.
(d) Upon the effectiveness of the assumption by the successor Servicer of its duties pursuant to this Section 7.1, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, except with respect to the obligations of the predecessor Servicer that survive its termination as Servicer, including indemnification obligations as set forth in Section 6.2(e). In such event, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf 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 termination and replacement of the Servicer, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. No Servicer shall resign or be relieved of its duties under this Agreement, as Servicer of the Receivables, until a newly appointed Servicer for the Receivables shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning or terminated Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.
(e) In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of the successor Servicer out of Available Funds as it and such successor Servicer will agree; provided, however, that no such compensation will be in excess of the amount paid to the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement.
Retention of Servicer Effective as of the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and under the Serviced Corporate Trust Contract related to each Serviced Appointment, (a) Xxxxx Bank hereby engages the Bank Assets Purchaser and (b) Xxxxx Trust Company hereby engages Delaware Trust Assets Purchaser (or the Bank Assets Purchaser, if required by Section 3.3), in each case, as Servicer to perform and discharge the Serviced Duties in respect of each Serviced Appointment as agent of such Seller. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and under such Serviced Corporate Trust Contract, this Agreement shall satisfy any requirement under any such Serviced Corporate Trust Contract for a written instrument of agency appointment with respect to any of the Serviced Appointments.
Oversight of Servicing The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by each Servicer and the performance by each Servicer of all services, duties, responsibilities and obligations (including the obligation to maintain an Errors and Omissions Policy and Fidelity Bond) that are to be observed or performed by the Servicer under its respective Servicing Agreement. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices and in a manner consistent with the terms and provisions of any insurance policy required to be maintained by the Master Servicer or any Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer acknowledges that prior to taking certain actions required to service the Mortgage Loans, each Servicing Agreement provides that the Servicer thereunder must notify, consult with, obtain the consent of, waiver from, or otherwise follow the instructions of the Master Servicer. In the case of any request for waiver from a Servicer, the Master Servicer shall promptly instruct such Servicer or otherwise respond to such Servicer's request. The Master Servicer shall not waive compliance by a Servicer with those provisions of its Servicing Agreement which are required to enable the Depositor and the Master Servicer to satisfy the Trust's ongoing reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. In addition, in no event will the Master Servicer instruct such Servicer to take any action, give any consent to action by such Servicer or waive compliance by such Servicer with any provision of such Servicer's Servicing Agreement if any resulting action or failure to act would be inconsistent with the requirements of the Rating Agencies that rated the Certificates, would be inconsistent with the requirements of Regulation AB or would otherwise have an adverse effect on the Certificateholders. Any such action or failure to act shall be deemed to have an adverse effect on the Certificateholders if such action or failure to act either results in (i) the downgrading of the rating assigned by either Rating Agency to the Certificates, (ii) the loss by the Trust Estate of REMIC status for federal income tax purposes or (iii) the imposition of any Prohibited Transaction Tax or any federal taxes on either the REMIC or the Trust Estate. The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority in its sole discretion to take any action with respect to the Trust Estate as may be necessary or advisable to avoid the circumstances specified including clause (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence. For the purposes of determining whether any modification of a Mortgage Loan shall be permitted by the Master Servicer, such modification shall be construed as a substitution of the modified Mortgage Loan for the Mortgage Loan originally deposited in the Trust Estate if it would be a "significant modification" within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. No modification shall be approved unless (i) the modified Mortgage Loan would qualify as a Substitute Mortgage Loan under Section 2.02 and (ii) with respect to any modification that occurs more than three months after the Closing Date and is not the result of a default or a reasonably foreseeable default under the Mortgage Loan, there is delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to modify the Mortgage Loan) to the effect that such modification would not be treated as giving rise to a new debt instrument for federal income tax purposes as described in the preceding sentence; provided, however, that no such Opinion of Counsel need be delivered if the sole purpose of the modification is to reduce the Monthly Payment on a Mortgage Loan as a result of a Curtailment such that the Mortgage Loan is fully amortized by its original maturity date. During the term of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall consult fully with each Servicer as may be necessary from time to time to perform and carry out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder and otherwise exercise reasonable efforts to cause such Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by it under its Servicing Agreement. The relationship of the Master Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent. The Master Servicer shall administer the Trust Estate on behalf of the Trustee and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or (subject to the requirements of Section 6.06) through one or more Subcontractors, to do any and all things in connection with such administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and from time to time as may be required thereafter, the Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer or its Subcontractors with any powers of attorney and such other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its administrative duties hereunder. The Depositor shall have a limited option to repurchase any defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan during the following time periods: (i) beginning on the first day of the second month following the month in which the Master Servicer has reported that a Servicer has initiated foreclosure proceedings with respect to such a defaulted Mortgage Loan, with such repurchase option expiring on the last day of such second following month; (ii) beginning on the first day of the second month following the month in which the Master Servicer has reported that such defaulted Mortgage Loan has become an REO Mortgage Loan, with such repurchase option expiring on the last day of such second following month; and (iii) beginning on the day on which a Servicer accepts a contractual commitment by a third party to purchase the Mortgaged Property related to the defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, with such repurchase option expiring on the earlier of the last day of the month in which such contractual commitment was accepted by the Servicer or the day immediately prior to the day on which the closing occurs with respect to such third party purchase of the Mortgaged Property related to the defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall be entitled to repurchase at its option any Mortgage Loan in the Trust Estate which, pursuant to paragraph 5(b) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, Wells Fargo Bank requests the Depositor to repurchase and to sell to Xxxxx Fargo Bank to facilitate the exercise of Wells Fargo Bank's rigxxx xgainst the originator or a prior holder of xxxx Mortgage Loan. The purchase price for any Mortgage Loan repurchased pursuant to this paragraph shall be the Repurchase Price. Upon the receipt of such Repurchase Price, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.04 and the Trustee and the Custodian, if any, shall promptly release to the Depositor the Owner Mortgage Loan File and Retained Mortgage Loan File, if applicable, relating to the Mortgage Loan being repurchased. In the event that (i) the Master Servicer determines at any time that, notwithstanding the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03(b), any Mortgage Loan is not a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code and (ii) the Trustee is unable to enforce the obligation of the Depositor to purchase such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 within two months of such determination, the Master Servicer shall cause such Mortgage Loan to be auctioned to the highest bidder and sold out of the Trust Estate no later than the date 90 days after such determination. In the event of any such sale of a Mortgage Loan, the Custodian shall, at the written request of the Master Servicer and upon being supported with appropriate forms therefor, within five Business Days of the deposit by the Master Servicer of the proceeds of such auction into the Certificate Account, release or cause to be released to the entity identified by the Master Servicer the related Owner Mortgage Loan File, Retained Mortgage Loan File, if applicable, and Servicer Mortgage Loan File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the auction purchaser title to the Mortgage Loan and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Owner Mortgage Loan File, Retained Mortgage Loan File, if applicable, or Servicer Mortgage Loan File. None of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or any Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, shall provide financing from the Trust Estate to any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, pursuant to the Servicing Agreements, object to the foreclosure upon, or other related conversion of the ownership of, any Mortgaged Property by the related Servicer if (i) the Master Servicer believes such Mortgaged Property may be contaminated with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances or (ii) such Servicer does not agree to administer such Mortgaged Property, once the related Mortgage Loan becomes an REO Mortgage Loan, in a manner which would not result in a federal tax being imposed upon the Trust Estate or the REMIC. At the direction of the Depositor, the Master Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with an unaffiliated holder of 100% Percentage Interest of a Class of Class B Certificates or a holder of a class of securities representing interests in the Class B Certificates and/or other subordinated mortgage pass-through certificates (such entity, a "Special Servicer"), such agreement (a "Special Servicing Agreement") to be substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto or subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment that the ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into of such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such holder may (a) purchase any Mortgage Loans that are more than 180 days delinquent and (b) instruct the Master Servicer to instruct a Servicer to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent Mortgage Loans and will contain provisions for the deposit of cash by the holder that would be available for distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer acted in accordance with its normal procedures. The Master Servicer shall monitor the rating of Wells Fargo & Company and upon the occurrence of a Document Transfer Xxxxx relating to such rating, shall promptly notify the Depositor, Trustee and Custodian of the occurrence of such Document Transfer Event.
Master Servicing; Termination of Servicer The Servicer, including any successor servicer hereunder, shall be subject to the supervision of the Master Servicer, which Master Servicer shall be obligated to ensure that the Servicer services the Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee and the SASCO 2000-4 Trust Fund (the "Trust Fund") created pursuant to the Trust Agreement, shall have the same rights as Xxxxxx Capital, as purchaser, under the Servicing Agreement to enforce the obligations of the Servicer under the Master Servicing Agreement and the term "Purchaser" as used in the Master Servicing Agreement in connection with any rights of the Purchaser shall refer to the Trust Fund or, as the context requires, the Master Servicer or the Trustee acting in its capacity as agent for the Trust Fund, except as otherwise specified in Exhibit A hereto. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement upon the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, which failure results in an Event of Default as provided in Article IX of the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer assume any of the obligations of Xxxxxx Capital under the Servicing Agreement and in connection with the performance of the Master Servicer's duties hereunder, the parties and other signatories hereto agree that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to all of the rights, protections and limitations of liability afforded to the Master Servicer under the Trust Agreement.
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.
Limitation on Resignation of Servicer Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the second paragraph of Section 7.02, the second paragraph of Section 6.02 and the following paragraph of this Section 6.04, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the NIMs Insurer and the Trustee is appointed and has assumed the Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. Any such resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of any of the obligations specified in Section 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the previous paragraph of this Section 6.04, the Trustee, the Depositor and the NIMs Insurer hereby specifically (i) consent to the pledge and assignment by the Servicer of all the Servicer's right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement to the Servicing Rights Pledgee, if any, for the benefit of certain lenders, and (ii) agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereby the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be set forth in Section 3.04 above, the Trustee shall appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee as successor servicer, provided that the Servicer's resignation will not be effective unless, at the time of such appointment, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee (i) meets the requirements of a successor servicer under Section 7.03 of this Agreement (including being acceptable to the Rating Agencies), provided, that the consent and approval of the Trustee, the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer shall be deemed to have been given to the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee, and the Servicing Rights Pledgee and its designee are hereby agreed to be acceptable to the Trustee, the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer and (ii) agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Servicer are transferred to a successor servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor servicer.
Transfer of Servicing Each Seller agrees that it shall provide written notice to the Trustee and the Master Servicer thirty days prior to any transfer or assignment by such Seller of its rights under any Servicing Agreement or of the servicing thereunder or delegation of its rights or duties thereunder or any portion thereof to any Person other than the initial Servicer under such Servicing Agreement; provided, that (i) each Seller shall not be required to provide prior notice of any transfer of servicing that occurs within three months following the Closing Date to an entity that is a Servicer on the Closing Date or (ii) Xxxxxx Holdings shall be required to provide notice of any transfer of servicing rights by either of them to the other. In addition, the ability of each Seller to transfer or assign its rights and delegate its duties under any Servicing Agreement (other than a transfer of servicing rights between Xxxxxx Holdings and Xxxxxx Bank) or to transfer the servicing thereunder to a successor servicer shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Such successor servicer must be qualified to service loans for FNMA or FHLMC;
(ii) Such successor servicer must satisfy the seller/servicer eligibility standards in the applicable Servicing Agreement, exclusive of any experience in mortgage loan origination, and must be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;
(iii) Such successor servicer must execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, that contains an assumption by such successor servicer of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed and observed by the applicable Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement or, in the case of a transfer of servicing to a party that is already a Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, an agreement to add the related Mortgage Loans to the Servicing Agreement already in effect with such Servicer;
(iv) If the successor servicer is not a Servicer of Mortgage Loans at the time of transfer, there must be delivered to the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates;
(v) The related Seller shall, at its cost and expense, take such steps, or cause the terminated Servicer to take such steps, as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and evidence the transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to such successor servicer, including, but not limited to, the following: (A) to the extent required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans and by applicable federal and state laws and regulations, the related Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to timely mail to each obligor under a Mortgage Loan any required notices or disclosures describing the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to the successor servicer; (B) prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the related Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transmit to any related insurer notification of such transfer of servicing; (C) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the related Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to deliver to the successor servicer all Mortgage Loan Documents and any related records or materials; (D) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the related Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transfer to the successor servicer, or, if such transfer occurs after a Remittance Date but before the next succeeding Deposit Date, to the Master Servicer, all funds held by the applicable Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans; (E) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the related Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective date of the transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue to forward to such successor servicer, within one Business Day of receipt, the amount of any payments or other recoveries received by the prior Servicer, and to notify the successor servicer of the source and proper application of each such payment or recovery; and (F) the related Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective date of transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue to cooperate with the successor servicer to facilitate such transfer in such manner and to such extent as the successor servicer may reasonably request.
Termination of Serviced Duties At the time all of the applicable Seller’s obligations under any Serviced Appointment are terminated and/or of no further force and effect (the “Appointment Expiration Time”), including upon or following any (a) valid termination or removal of the applicable Seller from all Corporate Trust Capacities with respect to a Serviced Appointment, whether as a Succeeded Appointment or otherwise, or (b) with the prior consent of the applicable Purchaser, resignation by, assignment by or succession of the applicable Seller from all Corporate Trust Capacities with respect to a Serviced Appointment, whether as a Succeeded Appointment or otherwise, the Purchasers (i) shall have no further Serviced Duties under this Agreement in connection with such Appointments and (ii) shall not be responsible hereunder for any of the duties, obligations or liabilities related to such Appointments accruing or arising on or after the Appointment Expiration Time, or for any performance, duties or obligations related thereto arising prior to, but requiring performance after, the Appointment Expiration Time, in each case, without limiting the Purchasers’ obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The parties shall execute, or procure the execution of, such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to give effect to this Section 3.7.
