Distribution Assistance Fees (Asset-Based Sales Charge) Payments In its sole discretion and irrespective of whichever alternative method of making service fee payments to Recipients is selected by the Distributor, in addition the Distributor may make distribution assistance fee payments to a Recipient quarterly, or at such other interval as deemed appropriate by the Distributor, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter or other period, at a rate not to exceed 0.1875% (0.75% on an annual basis) of the average during the period of the aggregate net asset value of Shares computed as of the close of each business day constituting Qualified Holdings owned beneficially or of record by the Recipient or its Customers until such Shares are redeemed or converted to another class of shares of the Fund, provided, however, that a majority of the Independent Trustees may, but are not obligated to, set a time period (the "Recipient Maximum Holding Period") for making such payments. Distribution assistance fee payments shall be made only to Recipients that are registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer or are exempt from registration. The distribution assistance to be rendered by the Recipients in connection with the sale of Shares may include, but shall not be limited to, the following: distributing sales literature and prospectuses other than those furnished to current Shareholders, providing compensation to and paying expenses of personnel of the Recipient who support the distribution of Shares by the Recipient, and providing such other information and services in connection with the distribution of Shares as the Distributor or the Fund may reasonably request.
Certificate Distribution Account The Certificate Distribution Account shall be established as a non-interest bearing trust account pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Funds on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account shall be held uninvested. The Certificateholders shall possess all beneficial right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and all proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Indenture or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Certificate Paying Agent for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, shall, within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period) after becoming aware of the fact, establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Account and shall direct the Certificate Paying Agent to transfer any cash then on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account to such new Certificate Distribution Account.
Designation of Servicer (a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pledged Contracts shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 6.01. Until the Program Agent, with the consent or at the direction of the Managing Agents, gives notice to the Borrower and the Servicer of the designation of a new Servicer as provided in Section 6.01(c) below, DTCC is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Borrower hereby grants to Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of the Borrower any and all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind in connection with any Pledged Contract or other Collateral.
(b) The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon the reasonable determination by the Servicer that (x) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law and (y) there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law. Any determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Program Agent.
(c) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing the Program Agent shall, if requested by the Majority Managing Agents, by notice in writing to the Servicer (a copy of which shall also be delivered to the Backup Servicer), terminate the Servicer’s management, administrative, servicing, custodial and collection functions (such termination being herein called a “Servicing Transfer”). On receipt of such notice (a “Termination Notice”) (or, if later, on a date designated therein), all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Pledged Contracts, the other Collateral or otherwise shall pass to and be vested in the Program Agent or its designee pursuant to and under this Section 6.01(c); and, without limitation, the Program Agent is 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 any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purpose of such Termination Notice. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Program Agent in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Program Agent or its designee on behalf of the Lenders for administration by it of all Collections which shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account, or for its own account in connection with its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect to the Pledged Contracts and to assist the successor Servicer in enforcing all rights under the Pledged Contracts. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Contract Files to the successor Servicer, to reflect such succession as the Servicer pursuant to this Section 6.01, shall be paid by the replaced Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses; provided, however, that if the replaced Servicer fails to pay such costs and expenses promptly, the successor Servicer shall be entitled to recover such amounts in accordance with Section 2.06 or 2.07, as applicable. Upon such termination, any servicing compensation relating to periods prior to the date of termination of the replaced Servicer (including all amounts expended by the replaced Servicer that would otherwise have been reimbursable to it hereunder) shall be paid to the replaced Servicer.
(d) In the event of the Servicer’s termination hereunder, the Program Agent, with the consent of the Majority Managing Agents, shall appoint the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Program Agent. In the event that a successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with Section 6.01(c), the Program Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer, and shall be entitled to all of the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer, by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the predecessor Servicer, (ii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party involved in this transaction and (iv) 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, upon becoming a successor Servicer are expressly limited to those instances of negligence or willful misconduct of the Backup Servicer in its role as successor Servicer. In connection with such appointment, subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of “Servicer Fee,” the Program Agent may, with the consent of the Majority Managing Agents, make such arrangements for the reasonable compensation of such successor Servicer as it and such successor Servicer shall agree. The Program Agent and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
(e) After a Servicing Transfer, the successor Servicer may, at the direction of the Program Agent (at the direction of the Majority Managing Agents) notify the Contract Debtors with respect to the Pledged Contracts of the interests of the Secured Parties in the Pledged Contracts and other Collateral and instruct such Contract Debtors to make payments that are due under the Pledged Contracts to the successor Servicer (or to the Program Agent or such other Person or account as the Program Agent shall designate) after the effective date of a Servicing Transfer. After a Servicing Transfer, the replaced Servicer shall have no future obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Pledged Contracts and the successor Servicer shall have all of such obligations, except that the replaced Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the successor Servicer for its own account, promptly upon receipt (but no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), any amounts for which it has good funds (properly endorsed where required for the successor Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Pledged Contracts and the replaced Servicer shall continue to do any and all things necessary to transfer the Contract Files and all books and records with respect to the Pledged Contracts hereunder. A Servicing Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the parties hereunder, other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Pledged Contracts.
(f) DTCC and any other Servicer agrees that, upon its resignation or replacement as Servicer pursuant to Section 6.01(b) or (c) above, it will cooperate with the Borrower, the Program Agent and the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights as Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) assisting the successor Servicer in enforcing all rights under the Pledged Contracts and other Collateral, (ii) transferring, promptly upon receipt, to the successor Servicer, any Collections or other amounts related to the Pledged Contracts or other Collateral received by such Servicer, (iii) transferring to the successor Servicer all Records held by or under the control of such Servicer and (iv) permitting the successor Servicer to have access to all tapes, discs, diskettes and related property containing information concerning the Pledged Contracts and other Collateral and the Records and taking all actions necessary in its control to permit the successor Servicer to use all computer software that may facilitate the Servicer’s access to and use of such information and acting as data processing agent for such successor Servicer if requested. Upon the resignation or replacement of DTCC as Servicer, DTCC shall no longer be entitled to the Servicer Fee accruing from and after the effective date of such resignation or replacement.
(g) Without the consent of each Managing Agent, the Servicer shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (x) an Approved Sub-servicer and (y) except with respect to certain Charged-Off Contracts, to outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Notwithstanding the delegation by the Servicer of any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person or the appointment of any Approved Sub-servicer pursuant to this Section 6.01(g), (i) the Servicer shall remain liable for the timely and complete performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall retain management information systems and sufficient servicing capability, in the reasonable judgment of the Program Agent and each Managing Agent, to perform the servicing functions described herein, and (iii) any sub-servicing agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Pledged Contracts involving an Approved Sub-servicer shall be deemed to be between such sub-servicer and the Servicer alone, and none of the Lenders, the Program Agent, the Managing Agents and the Liquidity Providers shall be deemed parties thereto or shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Approved Sub-servicer.

(c) In the event the Master Servicer or a Servicer has remitted in error to the Distribution Account any amount not required to be remitted in accordance with the definition of Available Distribution Amount, it may at any time direct the Securities Administrator to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account for repayment to the Master Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, by delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee which describes the amount deposited in error.
Distribution Assistance Fees (Asset-Based Sales Charge) Within ten (10) days of the end of each month or at such other period as deemed appropriate by the Distributor, the Fund will make payments in the aggregate amount of up to 0.75% on an annual basis of the average during the month of the aggregate net asset value of Shares computed as of the close of each business day (the “Asset-Based Sales Charge”) outstanding until such Shares are redeemed or converted to another class of shares of the Fund, provided, however, that a majority of the Independent Trustees may, but are not obligated to, set a time period (the “Fund Maximum Holding Period”) from time to time for such payments. Such Asset-Based Sales Charge payments received from the Fund will compensate the Distributor for providing distribution assistance in connection with the sale of Shares. The distribution assistance to be rendered by the Distributor in connection with the Shares may include, but shall not be limited to, the following: (i) paying sales commissions to any broker, dealer, bank or other person or entity that sells Shares, and/or paying such persons “Advance Service Fee Payments” (as defined below) in advance of, and/or in amounts greater than, the amount provided for in Section 3(b) of this Agreement; (ii) paying compensation to and expenses of personnel of the Distributor who support distribution of Shares by Recipients; (iii) obtaining financing or providing such financing from its own resources, or from an affiliate, for the interest and other borrowing costs of the Distributor's unreimbursed expenses incurred in rendering distribution assistance and administrative support services to the Fund; and (iv) paying other direct distribution costs, including without limitation the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses (other than those prospectuses furnished to current holders of the Fund's shares ("Shareholders")) and state "blue sky" registration expenses.

Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Master Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. The Master Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Certificate Account. The Certificate Account shall consist of two separate subaccounts, each of which shall relate to a particular Mortgage Pool. No later than two Business Days after receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Master Servicer shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited into the applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on such Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:

(ii) any amount deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.5(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account.

Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the related Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.

All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as servicing compensation and all income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee. The amount of any Realized Losses in the Certificate Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account and the amount of any Realized Losses in the Distribution Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Trustee into the Distribution Account. All reinvestment income earned on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement upon the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, which failure results in an Event of Default as provided in Article IX of the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer assume any of the obligations of Xxxxxx Capital under the Servicing Agreement and in connection with the performance of the Master Servicer's duties hereunder, the parties and other signatories hereto agree that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to all of the rights, protections and limitations of liability afforded to the Master Servicer under the Trust Agreement.
