Backup Servicer If a Servicer Default shall occur, then the Controlling Holders may, by notice to the Servicer, the Borrower and the Backup Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. Upon the delivery to the Servicer of such notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Pledged Assets or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer appointed by the Controlling Holders pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer appointed hereunder is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination or to perform the duties of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Lenders and the Backup Servicer or other successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, providing notification to the Obligors of the assignment of the servicing function, providing the Backup Servicer or such other successor Servicer, at the Servicer’s expense, with all records, in electronic or other form, reasonably requested by the Backup Servicer or such other successor Servicer, in such form as the Backup Servicer may reasonably request and at such times as the Backup Servicer or such other successor Servicer may reasonably request, to enable such Person to assume the servicing functions hereunder and the transfer to such Person for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time should be or should have been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account or thereafter be received by the Servicer with respect to the Pledged Receivables. Additionally, the Servicer agrees to cooperate in providing, at the Servicer’s expense, the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer as successor Servicer, with reasonable access (including at the premises of the Servicer) to Servicer’s employees and any and all books, records or other information reasonably requested by it to enable the Backup Servicer or such other successor Servicer, as successor Servicer, to assume the servicing functions hereunder. Neither any Lender nor the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer shall be deemed to have breached any obligation hereunder as a result of a failure to make or delay in making any distribution as and when required hereunder caused by the failure of the Servicer to remit any amounts received by it or to deliver any documents held by it with respect to the Pledged Assets. The Backup Servicer (including as successor Servicer) or any other successor Servicer undertakes to perform only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, it being understood by all parties hereto that there are no implied duties or obligations of the Backup Servicer or such other successor Servicer hereunder. The Active Backup Servicer’s Fees and Transition Costs shall be paid out of Collections with respect to any Pledged Receivable as set forth in Section 2.04(a) on and after the date, if any, that the Backup Servicer assumes the responsibilities of the Servicer pursuant to this Section. The Standby Backup Servicer’s Fees and Transition Costs shall be paid out of Collections with respect to any Pledged Receivable as set forth in Section 2.04(a) prior to the date, if any, that the Backup Servicer assumes the responsibilities of the Servicer pursuant to this Section. Any obligations of LEAF Financial under any Transaction Document other than in its capacity as Servicer shall continue in effect notwithstanding LEAF Financial’s termination as Servicer. On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination (with a copy delivered to the Backup Servicer) pursuant to this Section 6.13, the Backup Servicer shall be (and the Backup Servicer hereby agrees to be) the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject thereafter to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s failure to provide information required by this Section 6.13 shall not be considered a default by the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer hereunder; provided, further, however, that the Backup Servicer or such other successor Servicer, as successor Servicer, shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer or such other successor Servicer becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer (provided that the Backup Servicer or such other successor Servicer shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable), (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including the original Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer, upon becoming a successor Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances. In addition, neither the Backup Servicer nor any other successor Servicer shall have any liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Servicer contained in Article IV. Notwithstanding the above, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (or, following the Collateral Split Effective Date, the Primary Lender under the related Loan Agreement) may, or shall, if the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer is unable to so act, appoint itself, or appoint any other established servicing institution acceptable to the Lenders in their sole discretion, as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, and after the Lenders notify the Servicer to discontinue performing servicing functions under this Agreement, the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer (or Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (or, following the Collateral Split Effective Date, the Primary Lender under the related Loan Agreement) if there is no Backup Servicer or other successor Servicer) shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Lenders may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Pledged Receivables as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that, except as provided herein, no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer hereunder, unless (i) agreed to by the Lenders and (ii) such compensation shall be on commercially competitive terms and rates. The Borrower, the Lenders and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The parties hereto agree that in no event will the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer be liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages. Each of the Backup Servicer and any other successor Servicer hereby agrees that it shall, and shall take all actions necessary so that it shall at all times be ready to, assume all the rights and powers and all of the responsibilities, obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving from a Lender a notice requesting the Backup Servicer or such other successor Servicer to do so. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, absent specific knowledge by any Lyon Financial Services, Inc. account representative assigned to this transaction from time to time, or written notice detailing specific Errors (as defined below) or other deficiencies, Lyon Financial Services, Inc., as successor Servicer, is authorized to accept and rely on all accounting records (including computer records) and work product of the prior Servicer hereunder relating to the Contracts (collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”) without any audit or other examination thereof, and Lyon Financial Services, Inc. shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, commission or incorrect or nonstandard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exists in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors cause Lyon Financial Services, Inc. to make or continue any errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), Lyon Financial Services, Inc. shall have no liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that Lyon Financial Services, Inc. agrees to use its best efforts to prevent Continued Errors. In the event that Lyon Financial Services, Inc. becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, Lyon Financial Services, Inc. shall, with the prior consent of the Lenders, use commercially reasonable efforts to reconstruct and reconcile any affected data to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors. Lyon Financial Services, Inc. shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended as Servicer Advances in accordance with Section 2.04(a) hereof. Within four (4) Business Days after each Remittance Date, provided that the Backup Servicer shall have received the information specified in Section 6.10(d) within the time specified therein, the Backup Servicer shall compare the information on the computer tape or diskette (or other means of electronic transmission acceptable to the Backup Servicer) most recently delivered to the Backup Servicer by the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.10(d) with respect to such Remittance Date to the corresponding Monthly Remittance Report delivered to the Backup Servicer by the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.10(d) and shall:
(a) confirm that such Monthly Remittance Report is complete on its face;
(b) confirm the distributions to be made on such Remittance Date pursuant to Section 2.04(a) hereof to the extent the Backup Servicer is able to do so given the information provided to it by the Servicer (it being hereby agreed that the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Servicer and the Lenders if such information is insufficient and that the Servicer shall promptly provide to the Backup Servicer any additional information required by the Backup Servicer);
(c) confirm the mathematical computations of information in such Monthly Remittance Report; and
(d) confirm such other information as the Backup Servicer and the Lenders may agree. In the event of any discrepancy between the information set forth in subparagraphs (b) or (c) above as calculated by the Servicer and that determined or calculated by the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall promptly report such discrepancy to the Servicer and the Lenders. In the event of a discrepancy as described in the preceding sentence, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer shall attempt to reconcile such discrepancy within five (5) Business Days after reporting such discrepancy, but in the absence of a reconciliation, distributions on the related Remittance Date shall be made consistent with the information calculated by the Servicer, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer shall attempt to reconcile such discrepancy prior to the next Remittance Date, and the Servicer shall promptly report to the Lenders regarding the progress, if any, which shall have been made in reconciling such discrepancy. If the Backup Servicer and the Servicer are unable to reconcile such discrepancy with respect to such Monthly Remittance Report by the next Remittance Date that falls in April, July, October or January, the Servicer shall cause independent accountants acceptable to the Lenders, at the Servicer’s expense, to examine such Monthly Remittance Report and attempt to reconcile such discrepancy at the earliest possible date (and the Servicer shall promptly provide the Lenders with a report regarding such event). The effect, if any, of such reconciliation shall be reflected in the Monthly Remittance Report for the next succeeding Remittance Date. The provisions of this paragraph shall be referred to herein as the “Discrepancy Procedure”. Other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer and shall have no liability for any action taken or omitted by the Servicer. The Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer may allow a subservicer to perform any and all of its duties and responsibilities hereunder, including but not limited to its duties as successor Servicer hereunder, should the Backup Servicer or such other successor Servicer become the successor Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer or such other successor Servicer, as applicable, shall remain liable for the performance of all of its duties and obligations hereunder to the same extent as if no such subservicing had occurred. In no event shall the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer (either prior to or after its appointment hereunder as Servicer) be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including without limitation, acts of terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God.
Servicer The Servicer is authorized to prepare, or cause to be prepared, execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Trust or Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Basic Documents. Upon written request, the Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer a limited power of attorney appointing the Servicer the Trust's agent and attorney-in-fact to prepare, or cause to be prepared, execute and deliver all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions.
Successor Sub-Servicers The Master Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub- Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 6.06. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Master Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).
Successor Master Servicer In connection with the appointment of any successor master servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Company or the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as the Company or the Trustee and such successor master servicer shall agree. If the successor master servicer does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of single-family mortgage loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the compensation payable to a successor master servicer may not exceed the compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act as Master Servicer hereunder.
Successor Owner Trustee Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement, and the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01. Upon written acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice thereof to all Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within 10 Business Days after acceptance of such appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed hereunder shall promptly file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as required by the Statutory Trust Act.

The Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement that meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights shall not be required (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect in a Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provisions of a Sub- Servicing Agreement, or (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under a Sub-Servicing Agreement, which, in each case, shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement against the Originator shall be effected by the Master Servicer to the extent it is not the Originator, and otherwise by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.
Successor Asset Representations Reviewer Following the resignation or removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer under Section 5.1, the Issuer will engage as the successor Asset Representations Reviewer a Person that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The successor Asset Representations Reviewer will accept its engagement or appointment by executing and delivering to the Issuer and the Servicer an agreement to assume the Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this Agreement or entering into a new Asset Representations Review Agreement with the Issuer that is on substantially the same terms as this Agreement.
Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers, which may be Affiliates of the Servicer, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangement contemplated hereunder. The Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement. No such acknowledgment shall be deemed to imply that the Trustee has consented to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement, has passed upon whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement or has passed upon whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement is otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub- Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer.

(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement.
