General Servicing Obligations The Company shall sell any REO Property within two years after its acquisition by the REMIC unless (i) the Company applies for an extension of such two-year period from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the REMIC Provisions and Code Section 856(e)(3), in which event such REO Property shall be sold within the applicable extension period, or (ii) the Company obtains for the Purchaser an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Purchaser and the Company, to the effect that the holding by the REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to such two year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or comparable provisions of relevant state laws at any time. The Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Company shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Company protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Purchaser, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Company and the Purchaser for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property; provided, however, that any rent received or accrued with respect to such REO Property qualifies as "rents from real property" as defined in Section 856(d) of the Code.
Obligations of Seller The obligations of the Seller under this Agreement shall not be affected by reason of any invalidity, illegality or irregularity of any Receivable.
