Exchange Act Reporting (a) The Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Issuer and the Depositor in connection with the Trust's satisfying the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. The Indenture Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder, and the Master Servicer shall sign (or shall cause another entity acceptable to the Commission to sign) and the Indenture Trustee shall file (via the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Depositor or Issuer (or such other entity). The Depositor and the Issuer hereby grant to the Indenture Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute any Form 8-K and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor and the Issuer. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Indenture Trustee from the Depositor and the Issuer of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Indenture to the contrary, the Master Servicer, and not the Indenture Trustee, shall be responsible for executing each Form 10-K filed on behalf of the Trust.
(b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Indenture Trustee within 15 days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required or permitted by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission), the Indenture Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Commission staff's interpretations. The Indenture Trustee shall prepare the Form 10-K and provide the Master Servicer with the Form 10-K no later than March 20th of each year. The Master Servicer shall execute such Form 10-K upon its receipt and shall provide the original of such executed Form 10-K to the Indenture Trustee no later than March 25th of each year. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Master Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.16 and the accountant's report described under Section 3.17, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Indenture Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Indenture Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Indenture Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (the "Certification"), in compliance with Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act and any additional directives of the Commission, which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of securitization.
(c) In addition, the Indenture Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2) for the benefit of the Master Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of items 1 through 3 of the Certification (provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of any accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K).
(d) In addition, (i) the Indenture Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and the Depositor and their officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Indenture Trustee's obligations under this Section 4.06 caused by the Indenture Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith, and (ii) the Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Issuer and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Master Servicer's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the Master Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If (i) the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, then the Indenture Trustee agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer on the one hand and the Indenture Trustee on the other in connection with a breach of the Indenture Trustee's obligations under this Section 4.06 caused by the Indenture Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith and (ii) the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Indenture Trustee, then the Master Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indenture Trustee as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indenture Trustee on the one hand and the Master Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Master Servicer's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the Master Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
(e) In the event the Commission permits separate or split certifications to be made with respect to the items currently contained in the Certification, the Indenture Trustee shall provide a certification with respect to items 1 and 2 and the Master Servicer shall provide a certification with respect to items 3, 4 and 5 contained within the Certification, in each case substantially in the form of the Certification attached as Exhibit C-1, or other form as indicated by the Commission for this purpose. In addition, the Indenture Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-3) for the benefit of the Master Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of item 3 of the Certification (provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of any accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K).
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Basic Documents, the provisions of this Section 4.06 may be amended by the Master Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee without the consent of the Securityholders.
(g) Prior to January 30th of the first year in which the Indenture Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the Indenture Trustee shall file with the Commission a Form 15D Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust.

(b) The parties intend that the Grantor Trust shall be treated as a “grantor trust” under the Code, and the provisions thereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall vary the assets of the Grantor Trust so as to take advantage of market fluctuations or so as to improve the rate of return of the Grantor Trust Certificates, and shall otherwise comply with Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c).

(ii) The Certificate Administrator, in its discretion, shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall make available (via the Certificate Administrator’s Website) WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.
(iii) The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information that is not in its possession being provided to the Certificate Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.
(d) To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on the Certificate Administrator’s Website the CUSIP Numbers for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIP Number so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIP Numbers. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIP Numbers have been received. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP Number, the Certificate Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP Number. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP Number information.

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