All costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee or any Person on its behalf pursuant to this paragraph shall be included in the calculation of the Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan(s) to be repurchased. If the cross-collateralization of any Cross-Collateralized Group is not or cannot be terminated as contemplated by this paragraph, then, for purposes of (i) determining the materiality of any Breach or Defect, as the case may be, and (ii) the application of remedies, such Cross-Collateralized Group shall be treated as a single Mortgage Loan. (b) In connection with any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03, and subject to Section 3.26, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the repurchasing entity, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the repurchasing entity or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee; provided that such tender by the Trustee shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer's Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase have been satisfied. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, the endorsements and assignments contemplated by this Section 2.03(b), and such other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to transfer title to an REO Property in connection with the repurchase of an REO Loan and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer.
