LIABILITY OF FOREIGN SUB-CUSTODIANS AND FOREIGN SECURITIES SYSTEMS Each agreement pursuant to which the Custodian employs as a Foreign Sub-Custodian shall, to the extent possible, require the Foreign Sub-Custodian to exercise reasonable care in the performance of its duties and, to the extent possible, to indemnify, and hold harmless, the Custodian from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim arising out of or in connection with the Foreign Sub-Custodian’s performance of such obligations. At the Fund’s election, the Funds shall be entitled to be subrogated to the rights of the Custodian with respect to any claims against a Foreign Sub-Custodian as a consequence of any such loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim if and to the extent that the Funds have not been made whole for any such loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim.
Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken, pursuant to a limited power of attorney in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee (which in no event shall be the Special Servicer) in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or in the event the Trustee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Special Servicer (with a copy delivered to the Trustee) from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any such Opinion of Counsel will be deemed a Servicing Advance, reimbursable to the Special Servicer in accordance with Section 3.04. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Trustee. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Special Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Special Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Special Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection with a default or imminent default on a Transferred Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property not later than the end of the third taxable year after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Special Servicer has applied for and received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service (and provide a copy of the same to the Master Servicer and the Trustee) to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the applicable Trust REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the imposition of a federal or state tax upon such REMIC and has notified the Master Servicer and the Trustee of such extension by providing a copy of the application and the grant of such extension to the Trustee and the Master Servicer. If the Special Servicer has received such an extension (and provided a copy of the same to the Master Servicer and the Trustee), then the Special Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Special Servicer has not received such an extension and the Special Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the end of such third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Special Servicer has received such an extension, and the Special Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Special Servicer shall, before the end of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be. The Trustee shall sign any document reasonably requested by, and at the expense of, the Special Servicer, or take any other action reasonably requested by the Special Servicer which would enable the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to request such grant of extension. In all cases, the disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Special Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any Trust REMIC to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes. The Special Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Special Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees, unreimbursed Monthly Advances made pursuant to this Section or Section 4.03 or the REO Disposition Fee. The Special Servicer shall make advances of all funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 3.10, such advances to be reimbursed from the disposition or liquidation proceeds of the REO Property. The Special Servicer shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Master Servicer of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in this Section 3.17 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).
Perfection of Uncertificated Securities Collateral Each Pledgor represents and warrants that the Collateral Agent has a perfected First Priority security interest in all uncertificated Pledged Securities (other than uncertificated Pledged Securities in which a security interest cannot be perfected by taking all applicable actions under the UCC and such other actions (including, without limitation, the delivery or filing of financing, statements, agreements instruments or other documents) as may have been reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in order to perfect such security interest under the local laws of the jurisdiction of the issuer of such Pledged Securities) pledged by it hereunder that are in existence on the date hereof. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged Securities are at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each applicable Pledgor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) cause (or in the case of Pledged Securities issued by an issuer that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) the issuer to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an acknowledgment of the pledge of such Pledged Securities substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto or such other form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (ii) if necessary or desirable to perfect a security interest in such Pledged Securities, cause (or in the case of Pledged Securities issued by an issuer that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) the issuer of such uncertificated Pledged Securities to enter into a control agreement with the Collateral Agent and such Pledgor reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent pursuant to which such issuer shall agree to comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent by such Pledgor, and cause (or in the case of Pledged Securities issued by an issuer that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of the issuer, execute any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to complete the pledge and give the Collateral Agent the right to transfer such Pledged Securities under the terms hereof, (iii) upon request by the Collateral Agent, provide to the Collateral Agent an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, confirming such pledge and perfection thereof, and (iv) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon request by the Collateral Agent, (A) cause (or in the case of Pledged Securities issued by an issuer that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) the Organizational Documents of each such issuer that is a Subsidiary of a Pledgor to be amended to provide that such Pledged Securities shall be treated as “securities” for purposes of the UCC and (B) cause (or in the case of Pledged Securities issued by an issuer that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) such Pledged Securities to become certificated and delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1.
Custodian or Foreign Securities System The Custodian may hold foreign securities for all of its customers, including the Portfolios, with any Foreign Sub-Custodian in an account that is identified as belonging to the Custodian for the benefit of its customers, provided however, that (i) the records of the Custodian with respect to foreign securities of the Portfolios which are maintained in such account shall identify those securities as belonging to the Portfolios and (ii), to the extent permitted and customary in the market in which the account is maintained, the Custodian shall require that securities so held by the Foreign Sub-Custodian be held separately from any assets of such Foreign Sub-Custodian or of other customers of such Foreign Sub-Custodian.
Investment Property Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Notes Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, upon the Notes Collateral Agent’s request and following the occurrence of an Event of Default such Grantor shall promptly notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and, at the Notes Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Notes Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Notes Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the securities. If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property are held by any Grantor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, upon the Notes Collateral Agent’s request and following the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall immediately notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and at the Notes Collateral Agent’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent shall either (i) cause such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Notes Collateral Agent to such securities intermediary as to such security entitlements, or (as the case may be) to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Notes Collateral Agent to such commodity intermediary, in each case without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) in the case of financial assets or other Investment Property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Notes Collateral Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such Investment Property, with the Grantor being permitted, only with the consent of the Notes Collateral Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such Investment Property. The Notes Collateral Agent agrees with each of the Grantors that the Notes Collateral Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Grantor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities account for which the Notes Collateral Agent is the securities intermediary.
Domestic Subcustodians and Securities Depositories The Custodian may deposit and/or maintain, either directly or through one or more agents appointed by the Custodian, Investments of the Fund in any Securities Depository in the United States, including The Depository Trust Company, provided such Depository meets applicable requirements of the Federal Reserve Bank or of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Custodian may, at any time and from time to time, appoint any bank as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act meeting the requirements of a custodian under Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, to act on behalf of the Fund as a Subcustodian for purposes of holding Investments of the Fund in the United States.
Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO Property This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the account of the Trust Fund, and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a Mortgage Loan which was purchased or repurchased from the Trust Fund pursuant to any provision hereof. In the event that title to any such REO Property is acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall either sell any REO Property within two years after the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 86OG(a)(8) of the Code or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request an extension of the two-year grace period, more than 60 days before the day on which the two-year grace period would otherwise expire, unless the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to two years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 86OF of the Code, or cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 86OG(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any "income from non- permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 86OF(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. The Master Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the Custodial Account all revenues received with respect to the REO Properties, net of any directly related expenses incurred or withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property. If as of the date of acquisition of title to any REO Property there remain outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such REO Property or any outstanding Advances allocated thereto the Master Servicer, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unreimbursed related Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.15. Subject to the first paragraph of this Section 3.22, the REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer shall determine to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration). The Master Servicer shall deposit the proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Master Servicer as provided above, in the Custodial Account upon receipt thereof for distribution in accordance with Section 4.01, including any such net proceeds which are in excess of the applicable Stated Principal Balance plus all unpaid REO Imputed Interest thereon through the date of the REO Disposition. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.22, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer has received notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall promptly request the Trustee and the Depositor to provide directions and instructions with respect to such Mortgage Loan and shall act in accordance with any such directions and instructions jointly provided by the Trustee and the Depositor. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this Section 3.22, with respect to any Mortgage Loan described by such sentence, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to the related Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, the related Mortgaged Property, unless (i) the Depositor and the Trustee jointly direct the Master Servicer to take such action and (ii) either (A) the Master Servicer has, at least 30 days prior to taking such action, obtained and delivered to the Depositor an environmental audit report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards or (B) the Depositor has directed the Master Servicer not to obtain an environmental audit report. If the Trustee and the Depositor have not jointly provided directions and instructions to the Master Servicer in connection with any such Mortgage Loan within 30 days of a request by the Master Servicer for such directions and instructions, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (other than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage. The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.22 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as an expense of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Custodial Account. If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property in compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as an expense of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Custodial Account.
Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonment of Mortgaged Property The Master Servicer or the Subservicers shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage interests received in a trade or business, the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P, respectively, of the Code, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate on or before March 31 of each year stating that such reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
Uncertificated Pledged Collateral Such Grantor will permit the Collateral Agent from time to time to cause the appropriate issuers (and, if held with a securities intermediary, such securities intermediary) of uncertificated securities or other types of Pledged Collateral owned by it not represented by certificates to xxxx their books and records with the numbers and face amounts of all such uncertificated securities or other types of Pledged Collateral not represented by certificates and all rollovers and replacements therefor to reflect the Lien of the Collateral Agent granted pursuant to this Security Agreement. With respect to any Pledged Collateral owned by it, such Grantor will take any actions necessary to cause (a) the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Pledged Collateral and (b) any securities intermediary which is the holder of any such Pledged Collateral, to cause the Collateral Agent to have and retain Control over such Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, such Grantor will, with respect to any such Pledged Collateral held with a securities intermediary, cause such securities intermediary to enter into a control agreement with the Collateral Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, giving the Collateral Agent Control.
FOREIGN SECURITIES SYSTEMS Foreign securities shall be maintained in a Foreign Securities System in a designated country through arrangements implemented by the Custodian or a Foreign Sub-Custodian, as applicable, in such country.
