Successor Master Servicer In connection with the appointment of any successor master servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Company or the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as the Company or the Trustee and such successor master servicer shall agree. If the successor master servicer does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of single-family mortgage loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the compensation payable to a successor master servicer may not exceed the compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act as Master Servicer hereunder.
Successor Sub-Servicers The Master Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub- Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 6.06. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Master Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).
Successor Servicers The provisions of Sections 4.06(a), (b) and (c) shall apply to any successor to the Servicer hereunder.
Successor Subservicers The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loan or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which will be bound by the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of Residential Funding acts as servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Subservicer which it replaces. If the Master Servicer enters into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Subservicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Subservicer in respect of the related Mortgage Loans and, in the event of any such assumption by the successor Subservicer, the Master Servicer may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Subservicer from liability for such representations and warranties.
Successor Servicer Each of Processor and the Trustee agrees that if the Servicer has been terminated or resigns as Servicer, this Agreement shall not thereupon terminate and the successor servicer appointed pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall succeed, except as otherwise provided herein, to all rights, benefits, duties and obligations of the Servicer hereunder. Prior to the termination or resignation of the Trustee or the Servicer, the Trustee or the Servicer, respectively, shall provide notice to Processor in accordance with the terms and conditions to which each of the Trustee or the Servicer, respectively, is itself entitled upon termination or resignation.
Sub-Servicers The Special Servicer shall have the right to use a Sub-Servicer on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in Section 8.4
Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by the Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be precluded from selling all or part of the Servicing Fee relating to any Mortgage Loans to any Sub-Servicer, provided that with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer sells all or a part of the related Servicing Fee, the Master Servicer shall retain full responsibility under this Agreement for the servicing activities relating to such Mortgage Loan. Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts of which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Fxxxxxx Mac or Fxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.
Successor to the Master Servicer Upon termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint or may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor, which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Master Servicer. Any successor shall be a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved servicer in good standing and accepxxxxx tx xhe Dexxxxxxx and the Rating Agencies. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicing Fee paid to such successor master servicer exceed that paid to the Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that the Master Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement are terminated, the Master Servicer shall continue to discharge its duties and responsibilities hereunder until the effective date of such termination with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights of its successor. The termination of the Master Servicer shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant hereto and shall in no event (i) relieve the Master Servicer of responsibility for the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 9.03(a) hereof and the remedies available to the Trustee under Section 9.03(b) hereof, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 9.03 hereof shall be applicable to the Master Servicer notwithstanding any such sale, assignment, resignation or termination of the Master Servicer or the termination of this Agreement; or (ii) affect the right of the Master Servicer to receive payment and/or reimbursement of any amounts accruing to it hereunder prior to the date of termination (or during any transition period in which the Master Servicer continues to perform its duties hereunder prior to the date the successor master servicer fully assumes its duties). If no successor Master Servicer has accepted its appointment within 90 days of the time the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be the successor Master Servicer in all respects under this Agreement and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, including the obligation to make Advances; provided, however, that any failure to perform any duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In the Trustee's capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive the compensation, reimbursement and indemnities otherwise payable to the Master Servicer, including the fees and other amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.07 hereof. Any successor master servicer appointed as provided herein, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to the Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 9.03 hereof, and whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Master Servicer or termination of this Agreement shall not affect any claims that the Trustee may have against the Master Servicer arising out of the Master Servicer's actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation or in connection with the Trustee's assumption as successor master servicer of such obligations, duties and responsibilities. Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Master Servicer shall notify by mail the Trustee of such appointment.
Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with SubServicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and for the performance of any and all other activities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Each Sub-Servicer shall be either (i) an institution the accounts of which are insured by the FDIC or (ii) another entity that engages in the business of originating or servicing mortgage loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the SubServicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a FHLMC or FNMA approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. With the consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights. Notwithstanding any inconsistent or contrary provision of this Agreement, neither any Interim Subservicer nor any Interim Servicing Agreement shall be subject to the foregoing provisions during the Interim Servicing Period for any related Mortgage Loan.
ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER AND SERVICERS SECTION 5.01 Advances by the Master Servicer and Servicers. With respect to the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, each Servicer shall deposit in the related Collection Account as Advances, an amount equal to all Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the related Servicing Fee Rate) which were due on such Non-Designated Mortgage Loans serviced by it during the applicable Collection Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date; provided, however, that with respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, the related Servicer will not be required to advance the related balloon payment but will be required to continue to make advances in accordance with this Section 5.01 with respect to such Balloon Loan in an amount equal to (a) for each Servicer, other than WMMSC, an assumed scheduled payment that would otherwise be due based on the original amortization schedule for that Mortgage Loan and (b) for WMMSC, one month’s interest on the outstanding principal balance at the applicable Mortgage Rate, to the extent the related Servicer deems such amount to be recoverable. Each Servicer’s obligation to make such Advances as to any related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in full of such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, or through the date that the related Mortgaged Property has, in the judgment of such Servicer, been completely liquidated. No Servicer shall be required to advance shortfalls of principal or interest resulting from the application of the Relief Act. With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, if the amount of Advances received from a Servicer, other than WMMSC, is less than the amount required to be advanced by such Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to remit to the Trust Administrator, for deposit by the Trust Administrator in the Certificate Account, a payment in an amount equal to such deficiency, subject to any determination by the Master Servicer that any portion of the amount required to be advanced is a Nonrecoverable Advance. With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, to the extent required by Accepted Servicing Practices, the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be obligated to make Advances in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such obligation with respect to any related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan shall cease if the Master Servicer or a Servicer determines, in its reasonable opinion, that Advances with respect to such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer or such Servicer determines that any such advances are Nonrecoverable Advances, the Master Servicer or such Servicer shall provide the Trust Administrator with a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer evidencing such determination. Upon the Trust Administrator’s receipt of such certificate, the Trust Administrator shall send a copy of such certificate to the Trustee. With respect to any of the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, if an Advance is required to be made hereunder by a Servicer, such Servicer shall on the Cash Remittance Date either (i) deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.01, used by such Servicer to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any such funds being held in a Collection Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by such Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such Collection Account, or from other funds in the Collection Account being held for future distributions, on or before any future Distribution Date in which such funds would be due. With respect to any Designated Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall make Advances as required by Section 3.20(b) of this Agreement.
