Establishment of Accounts (a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account with the Securities Intermediary in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of (i) the Securityholders (the “Collection Account”), (ii) the Noteholders (the “Note Distribution Account”), (iii) the Securityholders (the “Reserve Fund”) and (iv) the Securityholders (the “Yield Supplement Account”), in each case, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the related Securityholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event that the Indenture Trustee is no longer an Eligible Institution, the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the Indenture Trustee as necessary, cause the Accounts to be moved to an Eligible Institution.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, all amounts held in the Collection Account, the Reserve Fund and the Yield Supplement Account shall be either invested by the Securities Intermediary in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer or maintained in cash. No amounts held in the Note Distribution Account will be invested. Earnings on investment of funds in the Collection Account (net of losses and investment expenses) shall be paid to the Servicer as part of the Supplemental Servicing Fee and any losses and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the related Account.
(i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(b), the Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon) and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Owner Trust Estate. The Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Securityholders, as the case may be.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Servicer agrees that the Reserve Fund, the Yield Supplement Account and the Collection Account will be established only with an Eligible Institution which agrees substantially as follows: (A) it will comply with Entitlement Orders related to such account issued by the Indenture Trustee without further consent by the Servicer or Issuer; (B) until termination of this Agreement, it will not enter into any other agreement related to such account pursuant to which it agrees to comply with Entitlement Orders of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee; (C) all Account Property delivered or credited to it in connection with such account and all proceeds thereof will be promptly credited to such account; (D) it will treat all Account Property as Financial Assets; and (E) all Account Property will be physically delivered (accompanied by any required endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name of, the Eligible Institution maintaining the related Account in accordance with such Eligible Institution’s customary procedures such that such Eligible Institution establishes a Security Entitlement in favor of the Indenture Trustee with respect thereto over which the Indenture Trustee (or such other Eligible Institution) has Control.
(iii) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or under the Trust Agreement or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.
Establishment of Account (a) The Fund hereby appoints the Custodian as the custodian of all Securities and cash at any time delivered to the Custodian to be held under this Agreement. The Custodian hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to establish and maintain one or more accounts for each Series in which the Custodian will hold Securities and cash as provided herein. Such accounts (each, an “Account,” and collectively, the “Accounts”) shall be in the name of the Fund and Series, if any.
(b) The Custodian may from time to time establish on its books and records such sub-accounts within each Account as the Fund and the Custodian may agree upon (each a “Special Account”), and the Custodian shall reflect therein such assets as the Fund may specify in Instructions.
(c) The Custodian may from time to time establish pursuant to a written agreement with and for the benefit of a broker, dealer, future commission merchant or other third party identified in Instructions such accounts on such terms and conditions as the Fund and the Custodian shall agree, and the Custodian shall transfer to such account such Securities and money as the Fund may specify in Instructions.
Treatment of Accounts Not grant or extend the time for payment of any Account, or compromise or settle any Account for less than the full amount thereof, or release any Person or property, in whole or in part, from payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon, other than as normal and customary in the ordinary course of a Grantor’s business or as required by law.
Investment of Accounts (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and consistent with any requirements of the Code, all or a portion of any Account other than the Certificate Insurance Payment Account held by the Trustee shall be invested and reinvested by the Trustee, as directed in writing by the Servicer, in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if the Servicer does not provide investment directions, the Trustee shall invest all Accounts in Permitted Investments described in paragraph (iv) of the definition of Permitted Investments. No such investment in any Account shall mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the Trustee, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date).
(b) Subject to Section 6.01(b), if any amounts are needed for disbursement from any Account held by the Trustee and sufficient uninvested funds are not available to make such disbursement, the Trustee shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such Account. The Trustee shall not be, and the Servicer shall be, liable for any investment loss or other charge resulting therefrom unless the Trustee's failure to perform in accordance with this Section 6.06 is the cause of such loss or charge.
(c) Subject to Section 9.01 hereof, the Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by the Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any Permitted Investment included therein (except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon or as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 6.06).
(d) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all net income and gain realized from investment of, and all earnings on, funds deposited in any Account (excluding the Certificate Insurance Payment Account) shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee). The Servicer shall deposit in the related Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment held therein which is in excess of the income and gain thereon immediately upon realization of such loss, without any right to reimbursement therefor from its own funds.
Establishment of Deposit Account The Deposit Account shall be established and maintained pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Deposit Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of Noteholders and the Certificateholders, as applicable in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Payment of Accounts (a) Company will irrevocably direct all of its present and future Account Debtors and other Persons obligated to make payments constituting Collateral to make such payments directly to the lockbox maintained by Company (the "Lockbox") with Xxxxx Fargo pursuant to the terms of the Clearing Account Agreement dated August , 2003 among the Company, Laurus and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, (the "Lockbox Agreement")or such other financial institution accepted by Laurus in writing as may be selected by Company (the "Lockbox Bank"). On or prior to the Closing Date, Company shall and shall cause the Lockbox Bank to enter into all such documentation acceptable to Laurus pursuant to which, among other things, the Lockbox Bank agrees to: (a) sweep the Lockbox on a daily basis and deposit all checks received therein to an account designated by Laurus in writing and (b) comply only with the instructions or other directions of Laurus concerning the Lockbox. All of Company's invoices, account statements and other written or oral communications directing, instructing, demanding or requesting payment of any Account of Company or any other amount constituting Collateral shall conspicuously direct that all payments be made to the Lockbox or such other address as Laurus may direct in writing. If, notwithstanding the instructions to Account Debtors, Company receives any payments, Company shall immediately remit such payments to Laurus in their original form with all necessary endorsements. Until so remitted, Company shall hold all such payments in trust for and as the property of Laurus and shall not commingle such payments with any of its other funds or property. Company shall pay Laurus five percent (5%) of the amount of any payment so received by Company and not delivered in kind to Laurus within five (5) Business Days following Company's receipt thereof.
(b) At Laurus' election, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Laurus may notify Company's Account Debtors of Laurus' security interest in the Accounts, collect them directly and charge the collection costs and expenses thereof to Company's account.
Establishment of Collateral Accounts Securities Intermediary acknowledges and agrees that: (i) it has established and is maintaining on its books and records the accounts identified on the attached Schedule 1 (each such account, together with any replacements thereof or substitutions therefor, the “Collateral Account” and such accounts, collectively, the “Collateral Accounts”) in the name of the Borrower; (ii) each Collateral Account is a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC) in respect of which Securities Intermediary is a “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC and, with respect to any Book-Entry Security, within the meaning of Federal Book-Entry Regulations) and the Security Agent is the “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC); provided, however, that if, notwithstanding the intention of the parties hereto, all or any portion of the Collateral Account is determined to be a “deposit account” (within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC) rather than a “securities account,” then the Securities Intermediary represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that it is a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC) and will treat the Borrower as its customer (within the meaning of Section 9-104(a)(3) of the UCC) with respect to the Collateral Accounts (or portion thereof); (iii) all property delivered, or to be delivered, to Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement is, and will be, promptly credited to the Collateral Accounts; (iv) it does not know of any claim to or interest in any Collateral Account or any assets or funds therein, except for claims and interests of the parties to this Agreement as set forth herein; and (v) it shall not change the name or account number of any Collateral Account without the prior written consent of the Security Agent. Except as provided in Section 2(b), Securities Intermediary agrees that it shall not take “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) or “instructions” (within the meaning of Section 9-104(a)(2) of the UCC) with respect to the Collateral Accounts or any assets or funds therein from any Person other than the Security Agent.
Establishment of Trust Accounts (i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders.

All such Eligible Investments shall be held or controlled by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, as applicable (and for the purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC, each Eligible Investment is intended to constitute a Financial Asset, and each of the Trust Accounts is intended to constitute a Securities Account); provided, that on each Transfer Date, all Investment Earnings on funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be deposited into the Collection Account and shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Total Distribution Amount. Funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested in Eligible Investments (or other investments permitted by the Rating Agencies) that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Transfer Date preceding the following Payment Date; provided, however, that funds on deposit in Trust Accounts may be invested in Eligible Investments of the entity serving as Indenture Trustee payable on demand or that mature so that such funds will be available on the Payment Date. Funds deposited in a Trust Account on the Transfer Date that precedes a Payment Date upon the maturity or liquidation of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested overnight.
(i) The Indenture Trustee shall possess or control all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon) and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Trust Estate. The Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, as the case may be. If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments held in the no-longer Eligible Deposit Account to such new Trust Account.
(ii) With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that:
(A) any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in Eligible Deposit Accounts, subject to the last sentence of Section 5.1(c)(i); and each such Eligible Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;
(B) any Trust Account Property that constitutes a Certificated Security shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (i) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture Trustee or its agent;
(C) any such Trust Account Property that constitutes an Uncertificated Security (including any investments in money market mutual funds, but excluding any Federal Book Entry Security) shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee’s (or its custodian or nominee’s) ownership of such security; and
(D) with respect to any Trust Account Property that constitutes a Federal Book Entry Security, the Indenture Trustee shall maintain and obtain Control over such property.
(iii) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Trustee, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Trust Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or the Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.
(d) All Trust Accounts will initially be established at the Indenture Trustee.
Protection of Accounts The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent of the Owner and the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. The Servicer shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by the Owner because the Custodial Account and/or the Escrow Account are not demand deposit accounts. Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account may at the option of the Servicer be invested in Eligible Investments; provided that in the event that amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account exceed the amount fully insured by the FDIC (the "Insured Amount") the Servicer shall be obligated to invest the excess amount over the Insured Amount in Eligible Investments on the same Business Day as such excess amount becomes present in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account. Any such Eligible Investment shall mature no later than the Determination Date next following the date of such Eligible Investment, provided, however, that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of a Qualified Depository (other than the Servicer) that maintains the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, then such Eligible Investment may mature on such Remittance Date. Any such Eligible Investment shall be made in the name of the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Owner. All income on or gain realized from any such Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and may be withdrawn at any time by the Servicer. Any losses incurred in respect of any such investment shall be deposited in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.
Administration of Accounts (a) The Administrative Agent retains the right after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to notify the Account Debtors to pay all amounts owing on Accounts constituting Collateral to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, and to collect the Accounts directly in its own name and to charge the collection costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to the Borrower Parties. The Administrative Agent has no duty to protect, insure, collect or realize upon the Accounts or preserve rights in them. Each Borrower Party irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent as such Borrower Party’s true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact to endorse such Borrower Party’s name on any checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to the Accounts which come into the Administrative Agent’s possession or under the Administrative Agent’s control as a result of its taking any of the foregoing actions. Additionally, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, shall have the right to collect and settle or adjust all disputes and claims directly with the Account Debtor and to compromise the amount or extend the time for payment of the Accounts upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, reasonable costs and expenses thereof, including attorney’s fees, to the Borrower Parties.
(b) If an Account includes a charge for any tax payable to any governmental taxing authority, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders is authorized, in its sole discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of the applicable Borrower Party and to make a Base Rate Advance to the Borrowers to pay therefor. The Borrower Parties shall notify the Administrative Agent if any Account includes any tax due to any governmental taxing authority and, in the absence of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to retain the full proceeds of the Account and shall not be liable for any taxes to any governmental taxing authority that may be due by any Borrower Party by reason of the sale and delivery creating the Account.
(c) Whether or not a Default has occurred, any of the Administrative Agent’s officers, employees or agents shall have the right after prior notice to the Administrative Borrower (provided no prior notice shall be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), at any time or times hereafter, in the name of the Lenders, or any designee of the Lenders or the Borrower Parties, to verify the validity, amount or other matter relating to any Accounts by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise. The Borrower Parties shall cooperate fully with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.
