Sellers Engagement of Servicer to Perform Servicing Responsibilities Section 2.01. Contract for Servicing; Possession of Servicing Files. The Seller, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby contract with the Servicer as an independent contractor, subject to the terms of this Agreement, for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. On or before the Servicing Transfer Date the Seller shall cause the Prior Servicer to deliver to the Servicer the Servicing Files with respect to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Servicer shall maintain a Servicing File with respect to each Mortgage Loan in order to service such Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement and each Servicing File delivered to the Servicer shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Servicer shall have no liability for any Servicing Files (or portions thereof) not delivered by the Seller. The Servicer’s possession of any portion of the Mortgage Loan documents shall be at the will of the Trustee for the sole purpose of facilitating servicing of the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement, and such retention and possession by the Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only. The ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage, and the contents of the Servicing File shall be vested in the Trustee and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Servicer shall immediately vest in the Trustee and shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by the Servicer at the will of the Trustee in such custodial capacity only. The portion of each Servicing File retained by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately marked to clearly reflect the ownership of the related Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The Servicer shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement.
Oversight of Servicing The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by each Servicer and the performance by each Servicer of all services, duties, responsibilities and obligations (including the obligation to maintain an Errors and Omissions Policy and Fidelity Bond) that are to be observed or performed by the Servicer under its respective Servicing Agreement. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices and in a manner consistent with the terms and provisions of any insurance policy required to be maintained by the Master Servicer or any Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer acknowledges that prior to taking certain actions required to service the Mortgage Loans, each Servicing Agreement provides that the Servicer thereunder must notify, consult with, obtain the consent of, waiver from, or otherwise follow the instructions of the Master Servicer. In the case of any request for waiver from a Servicer, the Master Servicer shall promptly instruct such Servicer or otherwise respond to such Servicer's request. The Master Servicer shall not waive compliance by a Servicer with those provisions of its Servicing Agreement which are required to enable the Depositor and the Master Servicer to satisfy the Trust's ongoing reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. In addition, in no event will the Master Servicer instruct such Servicer to take any action, give any consent to action by such Servicer or waive compliance by such Servicer with any provision of such Servicer's Servicing Agreement if any resulting action or failure to act would be inconsistent with the requirements of the Rating Agencies that rated the Certificates, would be inconsistent with the requirements of Regulation AB or would otherwise have an adverse effect on the Certificateholders. Any such action or failure to act shall be deemed to have an adverse effect on the Certificateholders if such action or failure to act either results in (i) the downgrading of the rating assigned by either Rating Agency to the Certificates, (ii) the loss by the Trust Estate of REMIC status for federal income tax purposes or (iii) the imposition of any Prohibited Transaction Tax or any federal taxes on either the REMIC or the Trust Estate. The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority in its sole discretion to take any action with respect to the Trust Estate as may be necessary or advisable to avoid the circumstances specified including clause (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence. For the purposes of determining whether any modification of a Mortgage Loan shall be permitted by the Master Servicer, such modification shall be construed as a substitution of the modified Mortgage Loan for the Mortgage Loan originally deposited in the Trust Estate if it would be a "significant modification" within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. No modification shall be approved unless (i) the modified Mortgage Loan would qualify as a Substitute Mortgage Loan under Section 2.02 and (ii) with respect to any modification that occurs more than three months after the Closing Date and is not the result of a default or a reasonably foreseeable default under the Mortgage Loan, there is delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to modify the Mortgage Loan) to the effect that such modification would not be treated as giving rise to a new debt instrument for federal income tax purposes as described in the preceding sentence; provided, however, that no such Opinion of Counsel need be delivered if the sole purpose of the modification is to reduce the Monthly Payment on a Mortgage Loan as a result of a Curtailment such that the Mortgage Loan is fully amortized by its original maturity date. During the term of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall consult fully with each Servicer as may be necessary from time to time to perform and carry out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder and otherwise exercise reasonable efforts to cause such Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by it under its Servicing Agreement. The relationship of the Master Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent. The Master Servicer shall administer the Trust Estate on behalf of the Trustee and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or (subject to the requirements of Section 6.06) through one or more Subcontractors, to do any and all things in connection with such administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and from time to time as may be required thereafter, the Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer or its Subcontractors with any powers of attorney and such other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its administrative duties hereunder. The Depositor shall have a limited option to repurchase any defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan during the following time periods: (i) beginning on the first day of the second month following the month in which the Master Servicer has reported that a Servicer has initiated foreclosure proceedings with respect to such a defaulted Mortgage Loan, with such repurchase option expiring on the last day of such second following month; (ii) beginning on the first day of the second month following the month in which the Master Servicer has reported that such defaulted Mortgage Loan has become an REO Mortgage Loan, with such repurchase option expiring on the last day of such second following month; and (iii) beginning on the day on which a Servicer accepts a contractual commitment by a third party to purchase the Mortgaged Property related to the defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, with such repurchase option expiring on the earlier of the last day of the month in which such contractual commitment was accepted by the Servicer or the day immediately prior to the day on which the closing occurs with respect to such third party purchase of the Mortgaged Property related to the defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall be entitled to repurchase at its option any Mortgage Loan in the Trust Estate which, pursuant to paragraph 5(b) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, Wells Fargo Bank requests the Depositor to repurchase and to sell to Xxxxx Fargo Bank to facilitate the exercise of Wells Fargo Bank's rigxxx xgainst the originator or a prior holder of xxxx Mortgage Loan. The purchase price for any Mortgage Loan repurchased pursuant to this paragraph shall be the Repurchase Price. Upon the receipt of such Repurchase Price, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.04 and the Trustee and the Custodian, if any, shall promptly release to the Depositor the Owner Mortgage Loan File and Retained Mortgage Loan File, if applicable, relating to the Mortgage Loan being repurchased. In the event that (i) the Master Servicer determines at any time that, notwithstanding the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03(b), any Mortgage Loan is not a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code and (ii) the Trustee is unable to enforce the obligation of the Depositor to purchase such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 within two months of such determination, the Master Servicer shall cause such Mortgage Loan to be auctioned to the highest bidder and sold out of the Trust Estate no later than the date 90 days after such determination. In the event of any such sale of a Mortgage Loan, the Custodian shall, at the written request of the Master Servicer and upon being supported with appropriate forms therefor, within five Business Days of the deposit by the Master Servicer of the proceeds of such auction into the Certificate Account, release or cause to be released to the entity identified by the Master Servicer the related Owner Mortgage Loan File, Retained Mortgage Loan File, if applicable, and Servicer Mortgage Loan File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the auction purchaser title to the Mortgage Loan and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Owner Mortgage Loan File, Retained Mortgage Loan File, if applicable, or Servicer Mortgage Loan File. None of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or any Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, shall provide financing from the Trust Estate to any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, pursuant to the Servicing Agreements, object to the foreclosure upon, or other related conversion of the ownership of, any Mortgaged Property by the related Servicer if (i) the Master Servicer believes such Mortgaged Property may be contaminated with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances or (ii) such Servicer does not agree to administer such Mortgaged Property, once the related Mortgage Loan becomes an REO Mortgage Loan, in a manner which would not result in a federal tax being imposed upon the Trust Estate or the REMIC. At the direction of the Depositor, the Master Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with an unaffiliated holder of 100% Percentage Interest of a Class of Class B Certificates or a holder of a class of securities representing interests in the Class B Certificates and/or other subordinated mortgage pass-through certificates (such entity, a "Special Servicer"), such agreement (a "Special Servicing Agreement") to be substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto or subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment that the ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into of such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such holder may (a) purchase any Mortgage Loans that are more than 180 days delinquent and (b) instruct the Master Servicer to instruct a Servicer to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent Mortgage Loans and will contain provisions for the deposit of cash by the holder that would be available for distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer acted in accordance with its normal procedures. The Master Servicer shall monitor the rating of Wells Fargo & Company and upon the occurrence of a Document Transfer Xxxxx relating to such rating, shall promptly notify the Depositor, Trustee and Custodian of the occurrence of such Document Transfer Event.
Termination of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers (a) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, the Master Servicer shall either act as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by a successor Servicer to be appointed as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may be a transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of servicing to a successor Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from each Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer or all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data, as may be required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.
(b) If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Servicer in the related Servicing Agreement, and in the event of any such assumption by the successor Servicer, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and warranties.
(c) If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable. To the extent that the Master Servicer is unable to find a successor Servicer that is willing to service the Mortgage Loans for the Servicing Fee because of the obligation of the Servicer to make Advances regardless of whether such Advance is recoverable, the applicable Servicing Agreement may be amended to provide that the successor Servicer shall have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable and provides an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Master Servicer and the Trustee.
Replacement of Servicer (a) If a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of the Requisite Noteholders (or, if no Notes (other than Class XS Notes) are Outstanding, the Majority Certificateholders) shall, by notice given to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Issuing Entity, the Administrator, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables. In the event the Servicer is removed or resigns as Servicer with respect to servicing the Receivables, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in (i) the Backup Servicer; or (ii) if the Backup Servicer has been terminated, such Successor Servicer as may be approved under clause (b) below.
(b) Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination pursuant to clause (a) above 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, only until the Backup Servicer (or another Successor Servicer) has assumed the obligations of the predecessor Servicer in the time period set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall give the Backup Servicer written notice of the Servicer’s termination or resignation. In the event of termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder, the Backup Servicer shall assume the obligations of Servicer hereunder (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement) by the Appointment Effective Date set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement. In the event the Backup Servicer does not assume the role of Successor Servicer, the Requisite Noteholders (or if the Notes (other than the Class XS Notes) have been paid in full, the Issuing Entity acting at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders) shall appoint another Person as Successor Servicer, who shall assume the obligations of Servicer hereunder (except to the extent otherwise set forth herein or within any agreement with such Successor Servicer) on the assumption date specified in such written notice (the “Assumption Date”) pursuant to this Agreement. The amount of the Servicing Fee payable to (1) the Backup Servicer as Successor Servicer shall be the Successor Servicing Fee Rate (Backup Servicer) and (2) any Successor Servicer (excluding the Backup Servicer) shall be any rate pursuant to this Agreement in an amount acceptable to the Requisite Noteholders and shall not exceed the Servicing Strip Amount unless otherwise agreed to by the Requisite Noteholders; provided that, in no event shall the amount of the Servicing Fee payable to the predecessor Servicer be less than the pro rata share of the Servicing Fee due to such predecessor Servicer based on the number of days such predecessor Servicer served as Servicer in the related Collection Period. The Backup Servicer shall act as Successor Servicer unless it is legally unable to do so, in which event the predecessor Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor acceptable to the Requisite Noteholders has been appointed and accepted such appointment. In the event that a successor Servicer has not been appointed and the Backup Servicer is legally unable to act at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section 5.1, then the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity or the Requisite Noteholders shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement at the expense of the Issuing Entity and paid in accordance with Section 2.7 of the Indenture. If requested by the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, to the extent not inconsistent with the Master Agency Agreement, the Servicer will terminate, or cause to be terminated, any arrangements relating to (A) the Depository Accounts; or (B) the Post-Office Boxes, and give notices thereunder or take other actions with respect thereto, and direct the Obligors to make all payments under the Receivables directly to or at the direction of the Successor Servicer at the predecessor Servicer’s expense (in which event the Successor Servicer shall process such payments directly, through a lock-box account with a lock-box bank or through a third-party payment processing system, in each case, at the direction of the Indenture Trustee acting at the direction of the Requisite Noteholders).
(c) If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing of the Receivables to a Successor Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files and Servicer Files to the Successor Servicer and all other reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the transfer to the Successor Servicer related to the performance by the Servicer hereunder will be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or, if not so paid by the predecessor Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Sections 2.7(c) or 2.7(e) of the Indenture, as applicable) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. The Successor Servicer, if the Backup Servicer, shall be entitled to payment for reasonable transaction expenses incurred in connection with acting as Successor Servicer in accordance with the priorities and limits set forth in Section 2.7(a) or 2.7(e) of the Indenture, as applicable. The Servicer shall grant the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer reasonable access to the Servicer’s premises at the predecessor Servicer’s expense as contemplated by, and subject the restrictions set forth in, Section 7.15.
(d) Upon the Appointment Effective Date or the Assumption Date, as applicable, the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, except with respect to the obligations of the predecessor Servicer that survive its termination as Servicer, including indemnification obligations as set forth in Section 4.2(c). In such event, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered (but not obligated) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor 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 termination and replacement of the Servicer, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. No Servicer shall resign or be relieved of its duties under this Agreement, as Servicer of the Receivables, until a newly appointed Servicer for the Receivables shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning or terminated Servicer under this Agreement. Without limiting any of the foregoing, under no circumstance shall Vervent Inc. (as Successor Servicer or otherwise) or any other Successor Servicer be deemed to have incurred any obligation to make any advance or provide indemnification for Actual Loss Amounts with respect to any Receivables or any liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior servicer including the Initial Servicer.
(e) The Requisite Noteholders (or, if no Notes (other than Class XS Notes) are Outstanding, the Majority Certificateholders) may waive any Servicing Termination Event. Upon any such waiver, such Servicing Termination Event shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred and any Servicing Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed not to have occurred for every purpose of this Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any prior, subsequent or other Servicing Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereto.
Master Servicing; Termination of Servicer The Servicer, including any successor servicer hereunder, shall be subject to the supervision of the Master Servicer, which Master Servicer shall be obligated to ensure that the Servicer services the Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee and the SASCO 2000-4 Trust Fund (the "Trust Fund") created pursuant to the Trust Agreement, shall have the same rights as Xxxxxx Capital, as purchaser, under the Servicing Agreement to enforce the obligations of the Servicer under the Master Servicing Agreement and the term "Purchaser" as used in the Master Servicing Agreement in connection with any rights of the Purchaser shall refer to the Trust Fund or, as the context requires, the Master Servicer or the Trustee acting in its capacity as agent for the Trust Fund, except as otherwise specified in Exhibit A hereto. 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.
Termination of Servicer (a) If a Servicer Replacement Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Noteholders representing at least a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, by notice given to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator and the Noteholders, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables. In the event the Servicer is removed or resigns as Servicer with respect to servicing the Receivables, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor Servicer. Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination, such Servicer will continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in such termination notice, until receipt of such notice. If a successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the outgoing Servicer ceases to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action will automatically be appointed the successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee, if it is legally unable or is unwilling to so act, will appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Servicer. Any successor Servicer shall be an established institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of comparable motor vehicle receivables having an aggregate outstanding principal amount of not less than $50,000,000.
(b) Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may waive any Servicer Replacement Event. Upon any such waiver, such Servicer Replacement Event shall cease to exist and be deemed not to have occurred, and any Servicer Replacement Event arising therefrom shall be deemed not to have occurred for every purpose of this Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any prior, subsequent or other Servicer Replacement Event or impair any right consequent thereto.
(c) If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts at its own expense to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing of the Receivables to a successor Servicer.
(d) Upon the effectiveness of the assumption by the successor Servicer of its duties pursuant to this Section 7.1, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, except with respect to the obligations of the predecessor Servicer that survive its termination as Servicer, including indemnification obligations as set forth in Section 6.2(e). In such event, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor 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 termination and replacement of the Servicer, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. No Servicer shall resign or be relieved of its duties under this Agreement, as Servicer of the Receivables, until a newly appointed Servicer for the Receivables shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning or terminated Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, 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 under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.
(e) In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of the successor Servicer out of Available Funds as it and such successor Servicer will agree; provided, however, that no such compensation will be in excess of the amount paid to the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement.
Duties of Servicer as Custodian (a) Safekeeping. The Servicer (or its Affiliates, but only in accordance with the second following sentence) shall hold the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable the Issuing Entity to comply with this Agreement. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to the receivable files relating to all comparable equipment receivables that the Servicer services for its Affiliates or others. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, may at any time delegate its duties as custodian to any Affiliate of the Servicer; provided, that no such delegation shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuing Entity, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee for its duties hereunder as if the Servicer alone were performing such duties. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Servicer’s record keeping. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee any material failure on its part, or its Affiliate’s part, to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuing Entity, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files.
Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer and Special Servicer; Record Keeping (a) Upon determining that any Serviced Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the related Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event with respect to the related Mortgage Loan) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and shall promptly deliver a copy of the Servicing File to the Special Servicer and concurrently provide a copy of such Servicing File to the Operating Advisor and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File, but including copies thereof) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Serviced Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto without acting through a Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the date such Serviced Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Serviced Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Serviced Loan, which shall occur upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the Servicing File. With respect to each such Serviced Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to continue to remit all payments in respect of such Serviced Loan to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Mortgagor of such a Specially Serviced Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the related Mortgagor. Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Loan has become a Corrected Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the related Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event with respect to the related Mortgage Loan) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and, upon giving such notice and the return of the Servicing File to the Master Servicer, such Serviced Loan shall cease to be a Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with the first proviso of the definition of Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Serviced Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Serviced Loan as a Serviced Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan shall resume. In addition, if the related Mortgagor has been instructed, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, to make payments to the Special Servicer, upon such determination, the Special Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to remit all payments in respect of such Specially Serviced Loan directly to the Master Servicer.
(b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Custodian originals of documents included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the related Mortgage File (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Special Servicer) and copies of any additional related Serviced Loan information, including correspondence with the related Mortgagor, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Master Servicer as well as copies of any analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 3.22, the Master Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced Loans and, upon request, shall provide the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor to perform its duties under this Agreement to the extent such information is within the Master Servicer’s possession. Upon request, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer and the Operating Advisor with any information reasonably required by the Master Servicer or the Operating Advisor to perform its duties under this Agreement to the extent such information is within the Special Servicer’s possession.
Enforcement of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders shall monitor the performance of the Servicers under the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, and shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Servicers duly and punctually to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder. Upon the occurrence of a default of which a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge under a Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer is taking in respect of such default. So long as any such default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer may, and shall if it determines such action to be in the best interests of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement against such Servicer; and/or (iii) waive any such default under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted thereunder.
