Limitation on Resignation of a Servicer Subject to Sections 7.01 and 10.07, no Servicer shall assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicers, the Depositor and the Trustee or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by such Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of a Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed such Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.04 herein to the contrary, in the event that a Servicer determines that it will no longer engage in the business of servicing mortgage loans, such Servicer may assign its rights under this Agreement, provided that, (i) the Depositor in its sole discretion has consented, (ii) the Rating Agencies' ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such action will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies) and (iii) such Servicer shall be liable for all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of servicing, provided further, that the Servicer shall indemnify and hold each of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the other Servicers hereunder, any sub-servicer, the successor Servicer and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that such party may sustain in any way related to such assignment except with respect to a successor Servicer's failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement. No assignment by such Servicer shall become effective until a successor Servicer acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee shall have assumed in writing such Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement. Any such assignment shall not relieve the applicable Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified herein except to the extent that such responsibilities have been expressly assumed by the successor Servicer.
Designation of Servicer 22 Section 8.2
Resignation of Agent The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. The Initial Agent may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of the Initial Agent or any successor thereto prior to such Securitization without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement, and any successor master servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place thereof without any further notice or other action.
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.
Resignation of NCPS NCPS may resign and be discharged from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by giving fifteen (15) business days prior written notice to the Broker and the Issuer specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Broker and Issuer jointly shall appoint a successor NCPS hereunder prior to the effective date of such resignation. The retiring NCPS shall transmit all records pertaining to the Escrow Funds and shall pay all Escrow Funds to the successor NCPS, after making copies of such records as the retiring NCPS deems advisable. After any retiring NCPS’s resignation, the provisions of this Escrow Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was escrow agent under this Escrow Agreement. Any corporation or association into which NCPS may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated shall be the escrow agent under this Escrow Agreement without further act.
Resignation or Termination of Agent The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. BANA, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of BANA without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement, and any successor master servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place thereof without any further notice or other action.
Resignation of and Successor Trustee The Trustee may at any time resign the Trustee’s position as Trustee by delivering a resignation in writing to the Purchaser and the Voting Consultant to become effective 90 days after the date of such delivery, but in any event such notice shall not become effective prior to the acceptance of a successor Trustee. The Trustee shall nominate a successor Trustee acceptable to the Purchaser, who shall have all rights, powers and obligations of the resigning Trustee as set forth in this Agreement, and all rights, powers and obligations of the resigning Trustee hereunder shall immediately terminate upon the acceptance by the successor Trustee of such nomination and the execution of this Agreement by the successor Trustee as “Trustee” hereunder. No such resignation shall become effective until such time as a successor Trustee has been appointed and such appointment has been accepted. The fact that any Trustee has resigned such Trustee’s position as a Trustee shall not act, or be construed to act, as a release of any Subject Shares from the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Termination and Resignation of Agent (a) The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Lead Securitization Note Holder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 30, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.
Vacancies; Resignation; Removal Section 3. From and after the date when Shares are first sold pursuant to a public offering and subject to any voting powers of one or more classes or series of Shares as set forth in this Declaration or in the Bylaws or by resolution of the Board of Trustees, any vacancies occurring in the Board of Trustees may be filled by the Trustees as set forth below. Prior to the date when Shares are first sold pursuant to a public offering, subject to any limitations imposed by the 1940 Act or other applicable law, any vacancies occurring in the Board of Trustees may be filled by the Trustees without any action by or meeting of Shareholders. Subject to any limitations imposed by the 1940 Act or other applicable law, any vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees that results from an increase in the number of Trustees may be filled by a majority of the entire Board of Trustees, and any other vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees may be filled by a majority of the Trustees then in office, whether or not sufficient to constitute a quorum, or by a sole remaining Trustee; provided, however, that if the Shareholders of any class or series of Shares are entitled separately to elect one or more Trustees, a majority of the remaining Trustees elected by that class or series or the sole remaining Trustee elected by that class or series may fill any vacancy among the number of Trustees elected by that class or series. A Trustee elected by the Board of Trustees to fill any vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees shall serve until the next annual meeting of Shareholders and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. At any annual meeting of Shareholders, any Trustee elected to fill any vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees that has arisen since the preceding annual meeting of Shareholders (whether or not any such vacancy has been filled by election of a new Trustee by the Board of Trustees) shall hold office for a term which coincides with the remaining term of the Class of Trustee to which such office was previously assigned, if such vacancy arose other than by an increase in the number of Trustees, and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify. In the event such vacancy arose due to an increase in the number of Trustees, any Trustee so elected to fill such vacancy at an annual meeting shall hold office for a term which coincides with that of the Class of Trustee to which such office has been apportioned as heretofore provided, and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify.
Resignation of Special Servicer (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.21, the Special Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless it determines that the Special Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Special Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trustee. In connection with any such resignation, the successor special servicer shall either: (i) during any Subordinate Control Period, be appointed by the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with the first (1st) paragraph of Section 9.30(c); or (ii) during any Collective Consultation Period or any Senior Consultation Period, be appointed by the Trustee and, during any Collective Consultation Period, be reasonably acceptable to the Controlling Class Representative, and otherwise satisfy the requirements for a successor Special Servicer set forth in Section 9.30(g); provided that in either case the Trustee shall have provided each Rating Agency and each other NRSRO with respect to any securities rated by any such NRSRO evidencing interests in any Serviced Companion Loan or B Note with a Rating Agency Communication with respect to the replacement of the existing Special Servicer with the proposed successor. Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Special Servicer to the other parties to this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall bear all costs associated with its resignation and the transfer of servicing under this Section 9.21(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer shall cease to serve as such in accordance with this Section 9.21(a) and a successor servicer shall not have been engaged (or, during any Subordinate Control Period, shall not have been appointed by the Controlling Class Representative and engaged), the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee shall assume the duties and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement. If the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee assumes the duties and obligations of the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 9.21(a), the Trustee or such agent shall be permitted to resign as special servicer if it has been replaced by a successor servicer satisfying the criteria in the fourth (4th) preceding sentence above.
