Mortgage Loan Files Section 9.1 Owner Mortgage Loan Files and Retained Mortgage Loan Files
Location of Receivable Files The Custodian will maintain the Receivable Files in the United States in such a manner as to permit retrieval thereof and access thereto in the manner contemplated by this Agreement. The Custodian’s records will at all times indicate that it is holding the Receivable Files on behalf of the Trust, separate from any other instruments and files that it holds.
Conveyance of Mortgage Loans; Possession of Servicing Files The Seller, simultaneously with the delivery of the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package to be purchased on each Closing Date, shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Conveyance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the "Assignment and Conveyance Agreement"). The Seller shall cause the Servicing File retained by the Originator pursuant to this Agreement to be appropriately identified in the Seller's computer system and/or books and records, as appropriate, to clearly reflect the sale of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Seller shall cause the Originator to release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 9.03.
Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds (which, for the purpose of this Section, includes any Subsequent Recoveries), and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Special Servicing Procedures In addition to the duties applicable to the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, the following procedures shall be applicable and followed by the Special Servicer and the Sponsor prior to the Special Servicing Crossover Date:
(a) Upon the occurrence of Asset Resolution with respect to any issue of Specially Serviced Bonds that relate to a Stabilized Mortgaged Property and involve a Foreclosure of the related Bond Mortgage and a shortfall of amounts available from such action to redeem in full the outstanding principal of the related outstanding Bonds, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice of such action and the amount of such principal shortfall to Freddie Mac. In accordance with its Credit Enhancement, Freddie Mac shall, contemporaneously with the application of the proceeds of the Asset Resolution to pay the redemption price of the related outstanding Bonds in part to the extent of such proceeds, declare a Release Event with respect to such Bonds in the amount of the aforementioned principal shortfall and shall fund the amount of the applicable Release Purchase Price pursuant to its Credit Enhancement, which amount shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Series Certificate Agreement to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class B Certificates (or to the extent there are no Class B Certificates above the amount of the Minimum Sponsor Interest left to redeem in the related Series Pool, to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class A Certificates). Such amount paid with respect to such Class B Certificates shall be used to reimburse Freddie Mac for the amount of the corresponding Credit Advance under its Credit Enhancement. Any Credit Advance arising from such a pay down of Class A Certificates shall be payable from the sources described in Section 4.03(b) of each Series Certificate Agreement and the cash flow from the Pledged Security Collateral. The Bonds purchased in connection with such Release Event shall be subsequently cancelled upon withdrawal from the related Series Certificate Agreement.
(b) Upon the occurrence of Asset Resolution with respect to any issue of Specially Serviced Bonds that relate to a Non-Stabilized Mortgaged Property and involve a Foreclosure of the related Bond Mortgage and a shortfall of amounts available from such action to redeem in full the outstanding principal of the related outstanding Bonds, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice to Freddie Mac and the Sponsor of such action. Following receipt of such written notice, Freddie Mac shall declare a Release Event with respect to such Bonds in the amount of the aforementioned principal shortfall and the Release Purchase Price so payable shall be funded on behalf of the Sponsor from amounts available under the Stabilization Guaranty, Escrow and Security Agreement, and applied in accordance with the related Series Certificate Agreement as a Sponsor-funded Release Event to pay down the related Class A Certificates in a corresponding amount; provided, however, if monies are not available under the Stabilization Guaranty, Escrow and Security Agreement, Freddie Mac shall fund the amount of the applicable Release Purchase Price pursuant to its Credit Enhancement, which amount shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Series Certificate Agreement to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class B Certificates (or to the extent there are no Class B Certificates above the amount of the Minimum Sponsor Interest left to redeem in the related Series Pool, to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class A Certificates). Any such amount paid with respect to such Class B Certificates shall be used to reimburse Freddie Mac for the amount of the corresponding Credit Advance under its Credit Enhancement. Any Credit Advance arising from such a pay down of Class A Certificates shall be payable from the sources described in Section 4.03(b) of each Series Certificate Agreement and the cash flow from the Pledge Security Collateral. The Bonds purchased in connection with such Release Event shall be subsequently cancelled upon withdrawal from the related Series Certificate Agreement.
(c) Upon the occurrence of Asset Resolution with respect to any issue of Specially Serviced Bonds that relate to a Stabilized Mortgaged Property and which Asset Resolution involves the execution of a work-out agreement pursuant to which the related Bond Mortgage Loan and Bonds are modified to write-down the outstanding principal thereof, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice to Freddie Mac of such action. In accordance with its Credit Enhancement, Freddie Mac shall, contemporaneously with the execution of such work-out agreement to effect such principal write-down, declare a Release Event with respect to such Bonds in the amount of the aforementioned principal write-down and shall fund the amount of the applicable Release Purchase Price pursuant to its Credit Enhancement, which amount shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Series Certificate Agreement to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class B Certificates (or to the extent there are no Class B Certificates above the amount of the Minimum Sponsor Interest left to redeem in the related Series Pool, to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class A Certificates). Such amount with respect to such Class B Certificates shall be used to reimburse Freddie Mac for the amount of the corresponding Credit Advance under its Credit Enhancement. Any Credit Advance arising from such a pay down of Class A Certificates shall be payable from the sources described in Section 4.03(b) of each Series Certificate Agreement and the cash flow from the Pledge Security Collateral. The Bonds purchased in connection with such Release Event shall be subsequently cancelled upon withdrawal from the related Series Certificate Agreement.
(d) Upon the occurrence of Asset Resolution with respect to any issue of Specially Serviced Bonds that relate to a Non-Stabilized Mortgaged Property and involve the execution of a work-out agreement pursuant to which the related Bond Mortgage Loan and Bonds are modified to write-down the outstanding principal thereof in an amount necessary in order to achieve Stabilization, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice to Freddie Mac and the Sponsor of such action. Following receipt of such written notice, Freddie Mac shall declare a Release Event with respect to such Bonds in such amount necessary in order for such Mortgaged Property to achieve Stabilization and the Release Purchase Price so payable shall be funded on behalf of the Sponsor from amounts available under the Stabilization Guaranty, Escrow and Security Agreement and applied in accordance with the related Series Certificate Agreement as a Sponsor-funded Release Event to pay down the related Class A Certificates in a corresponding amount; provided, however, if monies are not available under the Stabilization Guaranty, Escrow and Security Agreement, Freddie Mac shall fund the amount of the applicable Release Purchase Price pursuant to its Credit Enhancement, which amount shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Series Certificate Agreement to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class B Certificates (or to the extent there are no Class B Certificates above the amount of the Minimum Sponsor Interest left to redeem in the related Series Pool, to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class A Certificates). Any such amount paid with respect to such Class B Certificates shall be used to reimburse Freddie Mac for the amount of the corresponding Credit Advance under its Credit Enhancement. Any Credit Advance arising from such a pay down of Class A Certificates shall be payable from the sources described in Section 4.03(b) of each Series Certificate Agreement and the cash flow from the Pledge Security Collateral. The Bonds purchased in connection with such Release Event shall be subsequently cancelled upon withdrawal from the related Series Certificate Agreement.
(e) Upon the occurrence of Asset Resolution with respect to any issue of Specially Serviced Bonds that relate to a Stabilized Mortgaged Property and involve a sale of such Bonds and a shortfall of amounts available from such action to fund the related Release Purchase Price, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice of such action and the amount of such shortfall to Freddie Mac. Freddie Mac shall declare a Sponsor-funded Release Event with respect to a portion of such Bonds in the amount of the sale proceeds of such Bonds and a Freddie Mac-funded Release Event with respect to a portion of such Bonds in the amount of the aforementioned shortfall. The proceeds from the sale of such Bonds shall fund the applicable Release Purchase Price and be applied to pay down Class A Certificates in accordance with the related Series Certificate Agreement and Freddie Mac shall fund the amount of the applicable Release Purchase Price corresponding to the shortfall pursuant to its Credit Enhancement, which amount shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Series Certificate Agreement to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class B Certificates (or to the extent there are no Class B Certificates above the amount of the Minimum Sponsor Interest left to redeem in the related Series Pool, to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class A Certificates). Such amount paid with respect to such Class B Certificates shall be used to reimburse Freddie Mac for the amount of the corresponding Credit Advance under its Credit Enhancement. Any Credit Advance arising from such a pay down of Class A Certificates shall be payable from the sources described in Section 4.03(b) of each Series Certificate Agreement and the cash flow from the Pledged Security Collateral. The Bonds purchased in connection with such Release Event shall be subsequently withdrawn from the related Series Certificate Agreement and delivered to the Special Servicer to effect the sale of such Bonds.
(f) Upon the occurrence of Asset Resolution with respect to any issue of Specially Serviced Bonds that relate to a Non-Stabilized Mortgaged Property and involve a sale of such Bonds and a shortfall of amounts available from such action to fund the related Release Purchase Price, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice to Freddie Mac and the Sponsor of such action. Following receipt of such written notice, Freddie Mac shall declare a Sponsor-funded Release Event with respect to a portion of such Bonds in the amount of the sale proceeds of such Bonds and a Sponsor-funded Release Event with respect to such Bonds in the amount of the aforementioned shortfall. The proceeds from the sale of such Bonds shall fund the applicable Release Purchase Price and be applied to pay down Class A Certificates in accordance with the related Series Certificate Agreement. The Release Purchase Price with respect to such shortfall shall be funded on behalf of the Sponsor from amounts available under the Stabilization Guaranty, Escrow and Security Agreement, and applied in accordance with the related Series Certificate Agreement as a Sponsor-funded Release Event also to pay down the related Class A Certificates in a corresponding amount; provided, however, if monies are not available under the Stabilization Guaranty, Escrow and Security Agreement, Freddie Mac shall fund the amount of the applicable Release Purchase Price related to the shortfall pursuant to its Credit Enhancement, which amount shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Series Certificate Agreement to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class B Certificates (or to the extent there are no Class B Certificates above the amount of the Minimum Sponsor Interest left to redeem in the related Series Pool, to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class A Certificates). Any such amount paid with respect to such Class B Certificates shall be used to reimburse Freddie Mac for the amount of the corresponding Credit Advance under its Credit Enhancement. Any Credit Advance arising from such a pay down of Class A Certificates shall be payable from the sources described in Section 4.03(b) of each Series Certificate Agreement and the cash flow from the Pledge Security Collateral. The Bonds purchased in connection with such Release Event shall be subsequently withdrawn from the related Series Certificate Agreement and delivered to the Special Servicer to effect the sale of such Bonds.
Mortgage Loan Schedules The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to provide to the Purchaser as of the date hereof a preliminary listing of the Mortgage Loans (the “Preliminary Mortgage Loan Schedule”) setting forth the information listed on Exhibit 2 to this Agreement with respect to each of the Mortgage Loans being sold by the Mortgage Loan Seller. If there are changes to the Preliminary Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Purchaser as of the Closing Date a final schedule (the “Final Mortgage Loan Schedule”) setting forth the information listed on Exhibit 2 to this Agreement with respect to each of the Mortgage Loans being sold by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. The Final Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be delivered to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, shall be attached to an amendment to this Agreement to be executed on the Closing Date by the parties hereto and shall be in form and substance mutually agreed to by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser (the “Amendment”). If there are no changes to the Preliminary Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Preliminary Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule for all purposes hereof.
Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Customary Servicing Procedures, applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Notes and Mortgages. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration including, but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof, (a) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (b) to consent, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services, to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (c) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loans it services, and (d) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan it services. The Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan, except as provided pursuant to Section 3.21. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of any Subservicer or the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer or any Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services, and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans it services to the extent that the Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee, upon the direction of the Servicer, shall promptly execute such documents and deliver them to the Servicer. In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans it services, which Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. The costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. The relationship of the Servicer (and of any successor to the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement) 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.
Advance of Funds by the Mortgage Loan Seller Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.
Receivable Files There is only one original executed copy of each “tangible record” constituting or forming a part of such Receivable that is tangible chattel paper and a single “authoritative copy” (as such term is used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) of each electronic record constituting or forming a part of such Receivable that is electronic chattel paper. The Receivable Files that constitute or evidence such Receivable do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed by the Seller to any Person other than the Issuer.
Custody of Receivable Files (a) In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall enter into the Custodian Agreement pursuant to which the Indenture Trustee shall revocably appoint the Custodian, and the Custodian shall accept such appointment, to act as the agent of the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the Receivable Files in its possession or control, which shall be delivered to the Custodian as agent of the Indenture Trustee on or before the Closing Date.
(b) If the Indenture Trustee, or its agent, as the case may be, is acting as the Custodian pursuant to Section 3(f), Section 8 or Section 9(d) of the Custodian Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Custodian (except for any liabilities incurred by the predecessor Custodian) specified in the Custodian Agreement until such time as a successor Custodian has been appointed. Upon payment in full of any Receivable, the Servicer will notify the Custodian pursuant to a written request for release of documents in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Custodian Agreement (which written request shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.1 have been so deposited) and shall request delivery of the Receivable and Receivable File to the Servicer. Upon the sale of any Receivable pursuant to Section 4.3(a), the Servicer will notify the Custodian pursuant to a written request for release of documents in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Custodian Agreement (which written request shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account have been so deposited) and shall request delivery of the Receivable and Receivable File to the Servicer. From time to time as appropriate for servicing and enforcing any Receivable, the Custodian shall, upon written request for release of documents in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Custodian Agreement, cause the original Receivable and the related Receivable File to be released to the Servicer. The Servicer’s receipt of a Receivable and/or Receivable File shall obligate the Servicer to return such Receivable and such Receivable File to the Custodian when its need by the Servicer has ceased unless such Receivable is repurchased as described in Section 3.2, 4.2 or 4.7. No such written request for release of documents in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Custodian Agreement under any of the foregoing circumstances will be required to be delivered for so long as Exeter is the Servicer.
(c) The Servicer shall ensure that the Custodian shall be provided full electronic access to the records of the third party title intermediary concerning certificates of title that are maintained in electronic form. The Custodian shall certify any electronic certificate of title by confirming the electronic information available from the third party title intermediary against the electronic information received from the Servicer with respect to electronic certificates of title. Wherever in this Agreement or in the other Basic Documents it states that the Custodian has possession of Receivable Files, with respect to electronic certificates of title, it shall mean that the Custodian has received information sufficient to perform the verification set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. The Custodian will rely on, but cannot be responsible for, verify or confirm, the content or accuracy of any information provided by the third party title intermediary.
