Appointment of Successor Servicer (a) Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or the Servicer’s resignation pursuant to Section 6.05, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (i) the date forty-five (45) days from the delivery to the Trustees of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer’s termination hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer, and the Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment (including its appointment as Administrator under the Administration Agreement as set forth in Section 7.02(b)) by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Trustees. 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 this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Total Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be legally unable or unwilling so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of automobile receivables (including light-duty trucks), as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. In no event shall the Successor Servicer be liable for the acts or omissions of any predecessor Servicer.
Master Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor (a) Within 90 days of the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 5.01, the Master Servicer (or other named successor) shall 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 be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof or shall appoint a successor pursuant to Section 2.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the parties hereto agree that the Master Servicer, in its capacity as successor Servicer, immediately will assume all of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, (ii) the Master Servicer, in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts and (iii) under no circumstances shall any provision of this Agreement be construed to require the Master Servicer, acting in its capacity as successor to the Servicer in its obligation to advance, expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that such funds are non-recoverable. Subject to Section 5.02(b), as compensation therefor, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to such compensation as the terminated Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the successor to the terminated Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that any such institution appointed as successor Servicer shall not, as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency, adversely affect the then current rating of any Class of Certificates immediately prior to the termination of the terminated Servicer. The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer, nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. Pending appointment of a successor to the terminated Servicer hereunder, unless the Master Servicer is prohibited by law from so acting, the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity as provided above. The Master Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the Trust.
Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor Servicer (a) Upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.6 or the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.1, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the obligations and duties placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee, as successor Servicer, shall not, in any event, make any Simple Interest Advances pursuant to Section 4.4, shall have no obligations pursuant to Section 3.7 with respect to the repurchase of Receivables and shall have no obligations pursuant to Section 3.8 with respect to the fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee’s attorneys, the fees and expenses of any custodian appointed by the Owner Trustee, the fees and expenses of independent accountants or expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to the Certificateholders or the Noteholders and the fees, expenses and other amounts owing to the Asset Representations Reviewer or pay any indemnities owed pursuant to Sections 2.8, 7.2(b), 7.2(d) or 7.2(e). As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if no such resignation or termination had occurred, except that all collections on or in respect of the Receivables shall be deposited in the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt and shall not be retained by the successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an Eligible Servicer as the successor to the terminated Servicer under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor Servicer out of collections on or in respect of the Receivables as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that such compensation shall not be greater than that payable to CarMax as Servicer hereunder without the prior consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing at least 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. The Indenture Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Indenture Trustee shall not be relieved of its duties as successor Servicer under this Section 8.2 until a newly appointed Servicer shall have assumed the obligations and duties of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer hereunder.
Appointment of Successor Trustee In case the Trustee shall be dissolved, fail to comply with Section 7.13 hereof or otherwise become incapable of acting hereunder, or in case it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, the Corporation, by a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee. If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.13 hereof, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Trustee, and no appointment of a successor trustee, pursuant to the provisions of this Article Seven shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee under Section 7.9 hereof. If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Corporation, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor trustee. If, within one (1) year of such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the then Outstanding Notes, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by such Holders, or by their attorney-in-fact duly authorized, appoint a successor, such successor shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, supersede the successor appointed by the Corporation. If no successor trustee has been appointed and accepted appointment as herein provided after sixty (60) days from the mailing of notice of resignation by the Trustee under Section 7.6 hereof, or from the date the Trustee is removed or otherwise incapable of acting hereunder, any Beneficiary may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor trustee. No appointment of a successor Trustee shall be effective without the written consent of all Other Beneficiaries, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Corporation shall promptly notify any Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent, Deposit Agent, Remarketing Agent and Depositary as to the appointment of any successor trustee and shall promptly cause written notice of such appointment to be given to all Noteholders and Other Beneficiaries in the manner provided in Section 13.4 hereof, which notice shall include the address of the Principal Office of the successor trustee.
Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Issuer and by mailing notice thereof by first class mail to Holders of the applicable series of Securities at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Security register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument in duplicate, executed by authority of the Board, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee at the Issuer’s expense may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 4.12, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.
Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor (a) From the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 6.01 or resigns pursuant to Section 5.04, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be subject to all the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement except (i) the obligation to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan, (ii) with respect to any representation or warranty of the Master Servicer, or (iii) for any act or omission of either a predecessor or successor Master Servicer other than the Indenture Trustee. As its compensation under this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the compensation the Master Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if no notice of termination had been given. In addition, the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to compensation with respect to its expenses in connection with conversion of certain information, documents, and record keeping, as provided in Section 6.01. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Indenture Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Master Servicer, or (ii) if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable to so act, the Indenture Trustee may (in the situation described in clause (i)) or shall (in the situation described in clause (ii)) appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank, or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement to assume of any obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. The successor Master Servicer must be acceptable to the Credit Enhancer in its sole discretion, as evidenced by the Credit Enhancer's prior consent, as applicable, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The appointment of the successor Master Servicer must not result in the qualification, reduction, or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Notes by the Rating Agencies without regard to the Policy. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, unless the Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Indenture Trustee shall act as Master Servicer. In connection with this appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation that the Master Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.08 (or any lesser compensation the Indenture Trustee and the successor agree to). The Indenture Trustee and the successor shall take any action, consistent with this Agreement, necessary to effectuate the succession.
Resignation or Removal of the Trustee; Appointment of Successor Trustee (a) The Trustee may at any time resign as Trustee hereunder by written notice of its election so to do, delivered to the Depositor, and such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Trustee and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided; provided, however, that in the event of such resignation, the Trustee shall (i) assist the Depositor in finding a successor Trustee acceptable to the Depositor and (ii) negotiate in good faith concerning any prepaid but unaccrued fees.
Appointment of Successor (a) Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or the Servicer’s resignation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (i) the date sixty (60) days from the delivery to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer’s termination hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer, which shall be any established institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of receivables similar to the Receivables, and the Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment (including its appointment as Administrator under the Administration Agreement as set forth in Section 8.02(b)) by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. 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 this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Total Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be unwilling or legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of receivables similar to the Receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. In connection therewith, the Indenture Trustee is authorized and empowered to offer such successor servicer compensation up to, but not in excess of, the Total Servicing Fee and other servicing compensation specified in this Agreement as payable to the initial Servicer. Upon such appointment, the Indenture Trustee will be released from the duties and obligations of acting as Successor Servicer, such release effective upon the effective date of the servicing agreement entered into between the Successor Servicer and the Issuer.
Appointment of Successor Custodian If a successor custodian shall have been appointed by the Board of Trustees, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a notice of acceptance by the successor custodian, on such specified date of termination (i) deliver directly to the successor custodian all Securities (other than Securities held in a Book-Entry System or Securities Depository) and cash then owned by the Fund and held by the Custodian as custodian, and (ii) transfer any Securities held in a Book-Entry System or Securities Depository to an account of or for the benefit of the Fund at the successor custodian, provided that the Trust shall have paid to the Custodian all fees, expenses and other amounts to the payment or reimbursement of which it shall then be entitled. In addition, the Custodian shall, at the expense of the Trust, transfer to such successor all relevant books, records, correspondence, and other data established or maintained by the Custodian under this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trust (if such form differs from the form in which the Custodian has maintained the same, the Trust shall pay any expenses associated with transferring the data to such form), and will cooperate in the transfer of such duties and responsibilities, including provision for assistance from the Custodian’s personnel in the establishment of books, records, and other data by such successor. Upon such delivery and transfer, the Custodian shall be relieved of all obligations under this Agreement.
Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in Section 3.05, be the successor to the Master Servicer in its capacity as master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Certificate Account or Distribution Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, including, if the Master Servicer was receiving the Servicing Fee, the Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency, as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Master Servicer shall be an institution which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, containing an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.03 incurred before termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately before such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as provided above, subject to section 3.03 and unless prohibited by law. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that in no case shall the rate of such compensation exceed the Servicing Fee Rate. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder because of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it. In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Master Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System to the successor Master Servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System the successor Master Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan. The predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The successor Master Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in which such assignment was recorded. Any successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as master servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies that the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to this Agreement.
