Mitigation by Custodian Upon the occurrence of any event which causes or may cause any loss, damage or expense to the Fund, (i) the Custodian shall, (ii) the Custodian shall cause any applicable Domestic Subcustodian or Foreign Sub-Subcustodian to, and (iii) the Custodian shall use its best efforts to cause any applicable Interim Sub-Subcustodian or Special Subcustodian to, use all commercially reasonable efforts and take all reasonable steps under the circumstances to mitigate the effects of such event and to avoid continuing harm to the Fund.
Actions by Custodian Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the Custodian shall execute and deliver to each applicable Fund or to such other parties as such Fund(s) may designate in such Proper Instructions, all such documents, instruments or agreements as may be reasonable and necessary or desirable in order to effectuate any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Acceptance by Custodian Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, will declare that it holds and will hold the documents delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01(a) above and the other documents constituting a part of the Owner Mortgage Loan Files or Retained Mortgage Loan Files (after the occurrence of a Document Transfer Event) delivered to it in trust, upon the trusts herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Custodian will deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an initial certification in the form of Exhibit N hereto, to the effect that, except as may be specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, it has received the original Mortgage Notes relating to each Mortgage Loan on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Custodian will review each Owner Mortgage Loan File within 45 days after execution of this Agreement. The Custodian will deliver no later than 30 days after completion of such review to the Depositor and the Trustee a final certification in the form of Exhibit O hereto to the effect that, except as may be specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, all required documents set forth in Section 2.01(a) have been executed and received and appear regular on their face, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule based on a comparison of the Mortgage Loan identifying number, Mortgagor name and street address, and in so doing the Custodian may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If there are exceptions attached to the final certification, the Depositor shall have a period of 60 days after the date of receipt of the final certification within which to correct or cure any such defects. The Depositor hereby covenants and agrees that, if any material defect is not so corrected or cured, the Depositor will, not later than 60 days after receipt of the final certification referred to above respecting such defects, either (i) repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trust Estate at a price equal to the Repurchase Price or (ii) if within two years of the Startup Day, or such other period permitted by the REMIC Provisions, substitute for any Mortgage Loan to which such material defect relates, a new mortgage loan (a "Substitute Mortgage Loan") having such characteristics so that the representations and warranties of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.03(b) hereof (other than Section 2.03(b)(i)) would not have been incorrect had such Substitute Mortgage Loan originally been a Mortgage Loan. In no event shall any Substitute Mortgage Loan have an unpaid principal balance, as of the date of substitution, greater than the Scheduled Principal Balance (reduced by the scheduled payment of principal due on the Due Date in the month of substitution) of the Mortgage Loan for which it is substituted. In addition, such Substitute Mortgage Loan shall have a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to and a Net Mortgage Interest Rate equal to that of the Mortgage Loan for which it is substituted. The Depositor shall determine the Repurchase Price or the eligibility of any Substitute Mortgage Loan and the Trustee shall be protected in relying on such determination. In the case of a repurchased Mortgage Loan or property, the Repurchase Price shall be deposited by the Depositor in the Certificate Account maintained by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01. In the case of a Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Owner Mortgage Loan File (and Retained Mortgage Loan File, if required pursuant to Section 2.01(b) hereof) relating thereto shall be delivered to the Custodian and the Substitution Principal Amount (if any), together with (i) interest on such Substitution Principal Amount at the applicable Net Mortgage Interest Rate to the following Due Date of such Mortgage Loan which is being substituted for and (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Periodic Advances in respect of interest previously made by the applicable Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall be deposited in the Certificate Account. The Monthly Payment on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Due Date in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Estate. Upon receipt by the Custodian of a Request for Release signed by an officer of the Depositor, the Custodian shall release to the Depositor the Owner Mortgage Loan File (and Retained Mortgage Loan File, if applicable) of the Mortgage Loan being removed. The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instrument of transfer or assignment (or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan registered in the name of MERS or its designee, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the applicable Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to take all necessary action to reflect such assignment on the records of MERS), in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Depositor legal and beneficial ownership of such substituted or repurchased Mortgage Loan or property. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Depositor to substitute a new Mortgage Loan for or repurchase any Mortgage Loan or property as to which such a material defect in a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The failure of the Custodian to give the final certification or the Trustee to give any notice within the required time periods shall not affect or relieve the Depositor's obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02.
Indemnification by Custodian The Custodian shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Trust may sustain or incur or that may be asserted against the Trust by any person arising directly or indirectly out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Indemnified Party’s refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement (or any sub-custody agreement), or from its bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement (or any sub-custody agreement). This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of the Custodian, its successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement. As used in this paragraph, the term “Trust” shall include the Trust’s trustees, officers and employees.
Termination of a Subcustodian The Custodian may, at any time in its discretion upon notification to the appropriate Fund(s), terminate any Subcustodian of such Fund(s) in accordance with the termination provisions under the applicable subcustodian agreement, and upon the receipt of Special Instructions, the Custodian will terminate any Subcustodian in accordance with the termination provisions under the applicable subcustodian agreement.
Compensation of Custodian The Custodian shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and expenses as Custodian, as agreed upon from time to time between the Fund and the Custodian.
Resignation and Removal of Depositary; the Custodian The Depositary may resign as Depositary by written notice of its election to do so delivered to the Company, or be removed as Depositary by the Company by written notice of such removal delivered to the Depositary. The Depositary may appoint substitute or additional Custodians and the term "Custodian" refers to each Custodian or all Custodians as the context requires.
Successor Depositary The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary hereunder by written notice of its election so to do delivered to the Company, such resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by providing no less than 90 days prior written notice of such removal to the Depositary, such removal to take effect the later of (i) the 90th day after such notice of removal is first provided and (ii) the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if upon the resignation or removal of the Depositary a successor depositary is not appointed within the applicable 45-day period (in the case of resignation) or 90-day period (in the case of removal) as specified in paragraph (17) of the form of ADR, then the Depositary may elect to terminate this Deposit Agreement and the ADR and the provisions of said paragraph (17) shall thereafter govern the Depositary’s obligations hereunder. In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Company shall use its best efforts to appoint a successor depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company having an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Every successor depositary shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor depositary, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor. The predecessor depositary, only upon payment of all sums due to it and on the written request of the Company, shall (i) execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder (other than its rights to indemnification and fees owing, each of which shall survive any such removal and/or resignation), (ii) duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest to the Deposited Securities to such successor, and (iii) deliver to such successor a list of the Holders of all outstanding ADRs. Any such successor depositary shall promptly mail notice of its appointment to such Holders. Any bank or trust company into or with which the Depositary may be merged or consolidated, or to which the Depositary shall transfer substantially all its American depositary receipt business, shall be the successor of the Depositary without the execution or filing of any document or any further act.
Reports by Custodian The Custodian will supply to the Fund from time to time, as mutually agreed upon, statements in respect of the securities and other assets of the Fund held by foreign sub-custodians, including but not limited to an identification of entities having possession of the Fund's securities and other assets and advices or notifications of any transfers of securities to or from each custodial account maintained by a foreign banking institution for the Custodian on behalf of the Fund indicating, as to securities acquired for the Fund, the identity of the entity having physical possession of such securities.
Advances by Custodian for Settlement The Custodian may, in its sole discretion and from time to time, advance funds to the Trust to facilitate the settlement of a Fund's transactions in the Fund Custody Account. Any such advance shall be repayable immediately upon demand made by Custodian.
