Optional Purchase of Certain Mortgage Loans With respect to any Mortgage Loans which as of the first day of a Fiscal Quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO Property, EMC shall have the right to purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust which becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided however (i) that such Mortgage Loan is still 90 days or more delinquent or is an REO Property as of the date of such purchase and (ii) this purchase option, if not theretofore exercised, shall terminate on the date prior to the last day of the related Fiscal Quarter. This purchase option, if not exercised, shall not be thereafter reinstated unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter again becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property, in which case the option shall again become exercisable as of the first day of the related Fiscal Quarter. In addition, EMC shall, at its option, purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust if the first Due Date for such Mortgage Loan is subsequent to the Cut-off Date and the initial Scheduled Payment is not made within thirty (30) days of such Due Date. Such purchase shall be made at a price equal to the Purchase Price. If at any time EMC remits to the Master Servicer a payment for deposit in the Protected Account covering the amount of the Purchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and EMC provides to the Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such payment has been deposited in the Protected Account, then the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan prepared and delivered to the Trustee, at the request of EMC, without recourse, representation or warranty, to EMC which shall succeed to all the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. EMC will thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.
Collateral Security (a) The Obligations shall be secured by (a) a perfected first-priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens entitled to priority under Applicable Law) in all Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement to which each Borrower is a party to the extent perfected by the filing of UCC financing statements; (b) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of such Borrowers (other than the Parent) and of the Non-Borrower Subsidiaries (other than the Foreign Subsidiaries) to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Pledge Agreement; and (c) a pledge of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of each Foreign Subsidiary (provided that not more than 65% of the total voting power of all outstanding capital stock or other Equity Interest of any such first-tier Foreign Subsidiary of a Borrower shall be required to be so pledged and no Equity Interests of any non-first-tier Foreign Subsidiary shall be provided to be so pledged); provided that the Borrowers hereby agree, upon the request of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, to deliver, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) days after request therefor, or such other later time, if any, to which the Administrative Agent may agree, (i) certificates of titles for all or substantially all vehicles, trucks, trailers, tractors, automobiles and any other equipment covered by certificates of title owned by a Borrower (collectively, “Motor Vehicles”) with the Administrative Agent listed as lienholder therein (subject to a limited power of attorney in favor of the Parent to dispose of titled equipment) and, if required by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall retain Corporation Service Company (or other similar company satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which Corporation Service Company (or such other company) will agree to act as agent for the Secured Parties with respect to the perfection of security interests in the Motor Vehicles; and (ii) mortgages with respect to Real Property and to take such other steps and make such other deliveries as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the delivery of legal opinions, Consulting Engineer’s reports, surveys, title insurance, environmental assessment reports, flood hazard certifications, evidence of flood insurance, if required, and a certification of the name and address of each real estate recording office where a mortgage on the real estate on which any Collateral consisting of fixtures may be located would be recorded) so as to provide the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected first-priority security interest in such assets, provided that to the extent that any lease of (or operating/management agreement with respect to) Real Property prohibits assignment of such lease (or operating/management agreement) without the consent of the lessor or another party thereunder, the Borrowers shall not be required to grant a mortgage on the leasehold interest under such lease, but in such event, the Borrowers agree to diligently and in good faith use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent (which consent shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) of the applicable lessor or other party to such leasehold mortgage (and, upon the receipt of such consent, the Borrowers shall promptly grant such leasehold mortgage and comply with the other provisions of this Section 10.15 with respect thereto).
(b) In the event any Borrower disposes of any assets or Equity Interests as permitted under, and in compliance with, Section 7.04(b) (including any amendment thereof or consent thereunder), or in the event that the Parent designates any Borrower as an Excluded Subsidiary or a Non-Borrower Subsidiary hereunder and no Default would result from such designation, and so long as such Borrower (or the Parent, in the case of designating a Borrower as an Excluded Subsidiary hereunder) shall have provided the Administrative Agent with such certifications or documents, if any, as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent, execute and deliver all such forms, releases, discharges, assignments, termination statements, and similar documents as the Borrowers may reasonably request in order to release such Person from its Obligations under the Loan Documents and to release the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent with respect to such assets, Equity Interests or Borrower, as applicable.
Purchase and Redemption of Trust Portfolio Shares 3.1 We will make shares of the Portfolios available to the Accounts for the benefit of the Contracts. The shares will be available for purchase at the net asset value per share next computed after we (or our agent) receive a purchase order, as established in accordance with the provisions of the then current prospectus of the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust's Board of Trustees ("Trustees") may refuse to sell shares of any Portfolio to any person, or may suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Portfolio if such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or if, in the sole discretion of the Trustees, acting in good faith and in light of their fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, they deem such action to be in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio.
3.2 We agree that shares of the Trust will be sold only to life insurance companies which have entered into fund participation agreements with the Trust ("Participating Insurance Companies") and their separate accounts or to qualified pension and retirement plans in accordance with the terms of the Shared Funding Order. No shares of any Portfolio will be sold to the general public.
3.3 You shall be the designee for us for receipt of purchase orders and requests for redemption resulting from investment in and payments under the Contracts ("Instructions"). The Business Day on which such Instructions are received in proper form by you by the close of trading will be the date as of which Portfolio shares shall be deemed purchased, exchanged, or redeemed as a result of such Instructions, provided you transmit such instructions to us no later than 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next Business Day. Instructions received in proper form by you after the close of trading on any given Business Day shall be treated as if received on the next following Business Day. Instructions we receive from you after 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time shall be processed on the next Business Day. "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Trust calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC and its current prospectus.
Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments (a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 270 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely P&I Advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.03(d) pursuant to which the Servicer shall not be required to make any such P&I Advances that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the related Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any related Mortgagor.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer may waive (or permit a subservicer to waive) a Prepayment Premium pursuant to the conditions set forth in Section 2.05(a)(vii). With respect to any such waiver of a Prepayment Premium, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a written report stating that the conditions set forth in Section 2.05(a)(vii) have been met with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Prepayment Premium payable under the terms of the Mortgage Note is less than the amount of the Prepayment Premium set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or other information provided to the Servicer, the Servicer shall not have liability or obligation with respect to such difference, and in addition the Servicer shall not have any liability or obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Premium if the failure to collect such amount is the direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
Limitation on the Authority of the Manager to Purchase and Sell Securities for the Account of Certain Underwriters Notwithstanding any provision of this AAU authorizing the Manager to purchase or sell any Securities or Other Securities (including arranging for the sale of Contract Securities) or over-allot in arranging sales of Securities for the accounts of the several Underwriters, the Manager may not, in connection with the Offering of any Securities, make any such purchases, sales, and/or over-allotments for the account of any Underwriter that, not later than its acceptance of the Invitation Wire relating to such Offering, has advised the Manager that, due to its status as, or relationship to, a bank or bank holding company such purchases, sales, and/or over-allotments are prohibited by applicable law. If any Underwriter so advises the Manager, the Manager may allocate any such purchases, sales, and over-allotments (and the related expenses) which otherwise would have been allocated to your account based on your respective Underwriting Percentage to your account based on the ratio of your Original Underwriting Obligation to the Original Underwriting Obligations of all Underwriters other than the advising Underwriter or Underwriters, or in such other manner as the Manager will determine.
Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of each other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register. In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and each other Note Holder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Receivables Purchase Agreement The Receivables Purchase Agreement is supplemented by the addition of the following terms as Section 2.3(d):
Owner Trustee Not Liable for Certificate or Receivables The recitals contained herein and in the Certificate (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Certificate) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any Basic Document or of the Certificate (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Certificate) or the Notes, or of any Receivable or related documents. The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Receivable, or the perfection and priority of any security interest created by any Receivable in any Financed Vehicle or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Owner Trust Estate or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to the Certificateholder under this Agreement or the Noteholders under the Indenture, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Financed Vehicle; the existence and enforceability of any insurance thereon; the existence and contents of any Receivable on any computer or other record thereof; the validity of the assignment of any Receivable to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Receivable; the performance or enforcement of any Receivable; the compliance by the Depositor, the Servicer or any other Person with any warranty or representation made under any Basic Document or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or any action of the Trustee or the Servicer or any subservicer taken in the name of the Owner Trustee.
Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Promissory Notes Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account, the Servicer will take no action to cause any Receivable to be evidenced by an instrument (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware).
Assignment of Interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (a) The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, all of its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to Depositor's rights pursuant to the Servicing Agreements (noting that the Seller has retained the right in the event of breach of the representations, warranties and covenants, if any, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans of the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to enforce the provisions thereof and to seek all or any available remedies). The obligations of the Seller to substitute or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage Loan shall be the Trustee's and the Certificateholders' sole remedy for any breach thereof. At the request of the Trustee, the Depositor shall take such actions as may be necessary to enforce the above right, title and interest on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or shall execute such further documents as the Trustee may reasonably require in order to enable the Trustee to carry out such enforcement. With respect to the representations and warranties described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that are made to the best of the Seller's knowledge, if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, then notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.
(b) If the Depositor, the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator or the Trustee discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach materially and adversely affects the value of the interests of Certificateholders or the Trustee in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice of the breach to the other parties. The Seller, within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of notice that such breach has occurred (whichever occurs earlier), shall cure the breach in all material respects or, subject to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, shall purchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto from the Trustee; provided, however, that if there is a breach of any representation set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and the Mortgage Loan or the related property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price, any excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale. (If the Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the Purchase Price, any excess shall be paid to the Seller to the extent not required by law to be paid to the borrower.) Any such purchase by the Seller shall be made by providing an amount equal to the Purchase Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and written notification detailing the components of such Purchase Price. The Depositor shall notify the Trustee in writing of the deposit of the Purchase Price and submit to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, a Request for Release, and the Trustee shall release, or the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release, to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment furnished to it by the Seller, without recourse, as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Purchase Price in available funds is received by the Master Servicer. The Depositor or the Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies of such amendment. Enforcement of the obligation of the Seller to purchase (or substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for) any Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto (or pay the Purchase Price as set forth in the above proviso) as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on their behalf.
