Performance of Obligations; Servicing Agreement (a) The Issuer shall punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate.
(b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer.
(c) The Issuer shall not take any action or permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person's covenants or obligations under any of the documents relating to the Mortgage Loans or under any instrument included in the Trust Estate, or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any of the documents relating to the Mortgage Loans or any such instrument, except such actions as the Servicer is expressly permitted to take in the Servicing Agreement.
(d) The Issuer may retain an administrator and may enter into contracts with other Persons for the performance of the Issuer's obligations hereunder, and performance of such obligations by such Persons shall be deemed to be performance of such obligations by the Issuer.
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.
Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Contracts (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Collateral or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents or such other instrument or agreement.
(b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties and obligations under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the action or inaction of the Servicer or the Administrator. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.
(c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Transaction Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Collateral, including but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Transaction Document or any provision thereof without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Required Holders.
(d) If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency thereof. Upon any termination of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee. As soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.
(e) The Issuer agrees that it will not waive timely performance or observance by the Servicer or the Seller of their respective duties under the Transaction Documents if the effect thereof would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes.
Master Servicer Collection Account (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer Collection Account as a segregated trust account or accounts. The Master Servicer Collection Account may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account. The Master Servicer will deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account as identified by the Master Servicer and as received by the Master Servicer, the following amounts:
(i) Any amounts withdrawn from a Protected Account or other permitted account;
(ii) Any Monthly Advance and any Compensating Interest Payments;
(iii) Any Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or which were not deposited in a Protected Account or other permitted account;
(iv) The repurchase price with respect to any Mortgage Loans repurchased and all proceeds of any Mortgage Loans or property acquired in connection with the optional termination of the trust;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited with respect to losses on investments of deposits in an Account; and
(vi) Any other amounts received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer and required to be deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) All amounts deposited to the Master Servicer Collection Account shall be held by the Master Servicer in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The requirements for crediting the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of (i) prepayment or late payment charges or assumption, tax service, statement account or payoff, substitution, satisfaction, release and other like fees and charges and (ii) the items enumerated in Subsections 4.05(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (xi) and (xii) with respect to the Securities Administrator, need not be credited by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer to the Distribution Account or the Master Servicer Collection Account, as applicable. In the event that the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited to the Distribution Account any amount not required to be credited thereto, the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of a written request therefor signed by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, shall promptly transfer such amount to the Master Servicer from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) The amount at any time credited to the Master Servicer Collection Account shall be invested, in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in Permitted Investments as directed by Master Servicer. All Permitted Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, the next succeeding Distribution Account Deposit Date. Any and all investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account from time to time shall be for the account of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer from time to time shall be permitted to withdraw or receive distribution of any and all investment earnings from the Master Servicer Collection Account. The risk of loss of moneys required to be distributed to the Certificateholders resulting from such investments shall be borne by and be the risk of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deposit the amount of any such loss in the Master Servicer Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt of notification of such loss but not later than the second Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which the moneys so invested are required to be distributed to the Certificateholders.
Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default Subject to Section 11.09(d), the Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Master Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vi) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Servicer Events of Default (a) Notwithstanding Section 8.03 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, only the occurrence and continuation of any of the following events will be an “Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default” with respect to the 2021-A Exchange Note, and the “Exchange Note Servicer Events of Default” set forth in Section 8.03(a) of the Basic Servicing Agreement shall not apply to the 2021-A Exchange Note or to this 2021-A Servicing Supplement:
(i) any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee any proceeds or payment required to be so delivered with respect to the 2021-A Exchange Note under the Basic Servicing Agreement or this 2021-A Servicing Supplement that continues unremedied for ten Business Days after the earlier of the date on which (A) notice of such failure is given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or (B) an Authorized Officer of the Servicer has actual knowledge of such failure;
(ii) any failure by the Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other of its covenants or agreements in the 2021-A Servicing Agreement, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of interests in the 2021-A Exchange Note, the Noteholders or, in the event that Certificates are sold to unaffiliated third parties, the Certificateholders, and which continues unremedied for 90 days after written notice thereof is given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee;
(iii) any representation, warranty or statement of the Servicer made in the 2021-A Servicing Agreement or any certificate, report or other writing delivered pursuant to the 2021-A Servicing Agreement shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect when made, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of interests in the 2021-A Exchange Note, the Noteholders or, in the event that Certificates are sold to unaffiliated third parties, the Certificateholders, and which failure continues unremedied for 90 days after written notice thereof is given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee; or
(iv) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer; provided, however, that the occurrence of any event set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) with respect to the 2021-A Reference Pool will be an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default only with respect to the 2021-A Reference Pool and will not be a Servicer Event Default with respect to any other Reference Pool or the Revolving Facility Pool. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) for a period of 120 days will not constitute an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default if that failure or delay was caused by Force Majeure. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Servicer will not be relieved from using all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of the Basic Servicing Agreement and this 2021-A Servicing Supplement.
(b) With respect to actions taken under Section 8.03(c) of the Basic Servicing Agreement after the occurrence of an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default, any actions to be taken by the 2021-A Exchange Noteholder thereunder shall be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, acting at the written direction of 66 2/3% of the Holders of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class.
(c) In accordance with Section 8.05 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, after the occurrence of an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default, the 2021-A Exchange Noteholder (which for purposes of this Section shall be the Indenture Trustee, acting at the written direction of 66 2/3% of the Holders of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class) may waive any such Servicer Event of Default and its consequences. Upon any such waiver, the applicable Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default will cease to exist, and will be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right consequent thereon.
(d) On or after the receipt by the Servicer of notice of an Exchange Note Servicer Event of Default, all authority and power of the Servicer under this 2021-A Servicing Supplement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates, the Trust Estate or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer as may be appointed pursuant to the terms of the Basic Servicing Agreement. If the Indenture Trustee shall become Successor Servicer pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as sub-Servicer any one of its Affiliates or agents; provided that the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Servicer shall be fully liable for the actions or omissions of such Affiliate or agent in such capacity as sub-Servicer. The outgoing Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the outgoing Servicer under this 2021-A Servicing Supplement, including the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the outgoing Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the outgoing Servicer, in the 2021-A Bank Accounts or thereafter received with respect to the 2021-A Leases and 2021-A Vehicles and all information or documents that the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer may require, and the Successor Servicer shall not be liable if it cannot perform due to the failure of the predecessor Servicer to so deliver. In addition, the Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the 2021-A Leases and 2021-A Vehicles to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request. All Transition Costs shall be paid by the outgoing Servicer (or by the initial Servicer if the outgoing Servicer is the Indenture Trustee acting on an interim basis) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.
Servicer Advances For each Settlement Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to a Loan included in the Collateral during such Settlement Period was not received prior to the end of such Settlement Period, the Servicer may, but shall not be obligated to, make an advance in an amount up to the amount of such delinquent Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) to the extent that the Servicer reasonably expects to be reimbursed for such advance; in addition, if on any day there are not sufficient funds on deposit in the Collection Account to pay accrued Interest on any Advance the Settlement Period of which ends on such day, the Servicer may make an advance in the amount necessary to pay such Interest (in either case, any such advance, a “Servicer Advance”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any Successor Servicer will not be obligated to make any Servicer Advances. The Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances into the Collection Account on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related Payment Date, in immediately available funds.
Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person's material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.
(b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.
(c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Basic Document or any provision thereof without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.
(d) If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking with respect to such default. If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.
(e) As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall appoint a successor servicer (the "Successor Servicer"), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may resign as the Servicer by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and in such event will be released from such duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a new servicer enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer as provided below. Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new servicer as the Successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any Successor Servicer other than the Indenture Trustee shall (i) be an established financial institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of Contracts and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable to the Servicer. If within 30 days after the delivery of the notice referred to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained such a new servicer, the Indenture Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Servicer. In connection with any such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree, subject to the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of the Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer's duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI hereof shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Servicer and the servicing of the Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become successor to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Servicer any one of its affiliates, provided that it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such affiliate in such capacity as Successor Servicer.
(f) Upon any termination of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee. As soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.
(g) Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees (i) that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes, amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any Collateral (except to the extent otherwise provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement) or the Basic Documents, or waive timely performance or observance by the Servicer or the Seller under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and (ii) that any such amendment shall not (A) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes that is required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the Outstanding Notes. If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented to by the Indenture Trustee or such Holders, the Issuer agrees, promptly following a request by the Indenture Trustee to do so, to execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as the Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.
Servicing Default If any one of the following events ("Servicing Default") shall occur and be continuing:
(a) Any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the Custodial Account or Payment Account any deposit required to be made under the terms of this Servicing Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of five Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Credit Enhancer; or
(b) Failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Master Servicer set forth in the Securities or in this Servicing Agreement, which failure, in each case, materially and adversely affects the interests of Securityholders or the Credit Enhancer and which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Credit Enhancer; or
(c) The entry against the Master Servicer of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship, receivership, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(d) The Master Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property, or a decree or order of a court, agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations, then, and in every such case, so long as a Servicing Default shall not have been remedied by the Master Servicer, either the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Credit Enhancer, or the Credit Enhancer, by notice then given in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee if given by the Credit Enhancer) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer as servicer under this Servicing Agreement other than its right to receive servicing compensation and expenses for servicing the Home Equity Loans hereunder during any period prior to the date of such termination and the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Credit Enhancer, or the Credit Enhancer may exercise any and all other remedies available at law or equity. Any such notice to the Master Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Credit Enhancer and the Issuer. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Servicing Agreement, whether with respect to the Securities or the Home Equity Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee as pledgee of the Home Equity Loans, as successor Master Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master 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, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each Home Equity Loan and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Master Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Indenture Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts relating to the Home Equity Loans that shall at the time be held by the Master Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Custodial Account, or that have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account or thereafter received by the Master Servicer with respect to the Home Equity Loans. All reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with amending this Servicing Agreement to reflect such succession as Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer (or if the predecessor Master Servicer is the Indenture Trustee, the initial Master Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a payment on a Home Equity Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating the Master Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder and received after such notice, that portion to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 3.09 as well as its Master Servicing Fee in respect thereof, and any other amounts payable to the Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance under Section 7.01(a) or under Section 7.01(b) after the applicable grace periods specified in such Sections, shall not constitute a Servicing Default if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Master Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. The preceding sentence shall not relieve the Master Servicer from using reasonable efforts to perform its respective obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee, the Credit Enhancer and the Securityholders with notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations. The Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Indenture Trustee, the Credit Enhancer and the Owner Trustee in writing of any Servicing Default.
