Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts (a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Master Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.09 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.
(c) The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3.06(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
REPORTS AND REMITTANCES A. The Company shall provide to the Reinsurer a monthly report no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the end of each month. Said report shall provide a summary of the gross ceded premium and paid losses for the month that just ended (and in the aggregate during the term of this Contract).
B. The Company shall also provide the Reinsurer with the Monthly Servicing Report (as that term is defined in the Policy) no later than sixty (60) calendar days following the end of each month.
C. The Company shall pay to the Reinsurer, as promptly as possible, all amounts due the Reinsurer it receives from the Insured under the Policy (including without limitation, any premium, optional policy cancellation fee and amounts paid under Section VII thereof (Loss Adjustments; Application of Current Period Deal Modification Loss Amount)); provided, however, in no event later than five (5) business days after the Company receives any such amount under the Policy.
D. Should payment become due from the Reinsurer hereunder, the Company shall give the Reinsurer notice of its intention to make payment on a certain date, and the Reinsurer agrees to remit such payment within ten (10) business days upon receipt of the Notice of Claim from the Insured as provided under the terms of the Policy. The Company authorizes that such payment by the Reinsurer shall be made directly to the Insured through .
Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain (or cause a Sub-Servicer to establish and maintain) one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub-Servicers) for the payment of ground rents, taxes, assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage Insurance Premiums, water charges, sewer rents and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Master Servicer (or the applicable Sub-Servicer) shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Master Servicer’s (or the applicable Sub-Servicer’s) receipt thereof, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of Escrow Payments; (ii) reimburse the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Master Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX; or (vi) recover amounts deposited in error. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The Master Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
Remittance of Payments and Collections (a) All payments by any Lender to the Agent shall be made not later than the time set forth elsewhere in this Agreement on the Business Day such payment is due; provided, however, that if such payment is due on demand by the Agent and such demand is made on the paying Lender after 1:30 p.m. on such Business Day, then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by the Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, promptly following the Agent’s receipt of funds for the account of such Lender and in the type of funds received by the Agent; provided, however, that if the Agent receives such funds at or prior to 12:00 noon, the Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 4:00 p.m. on such Business Day, but if the Agent receives such funds after 12:00 noon, the Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 4:00 p.m. on the next Business Day.
(b) With respect to the payment of any funds from the Agent to a Lender or from a Lender to the Agent, the party failing to make full payment when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, on demand by the other party, pay such amount together with interest thereon at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. In no event shall the Borrower be entitled to receive any credit for any interest paid by the Agent to any Lender, or by any Lender to the Agent, at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate as provided herein.
(c) If the Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the belief that a related payment has been or will be received by the Agent from a Loan Party and such related payment is not received by the Agent, then the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from each Lender that receives such amount. If the Agent determines at any time that any amount received by it under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents must be returned to a Loan Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any Requirement of Law, court order or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender.
Collections (a) The Servicer shall remit daily to the Collection Account all payments received from or on behalf of the Obligors on or in respect of the Receivables and all Net Liquidation Proceeds within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, in each case, minus (i) an amount equal to amounts previously deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account but later determined by the Servicer in its reasonable opinion to have resulted from mistaken deposits or postings, which amounts have not been previously reimbursed to the Servicer, and (ii) any prepayment charge and other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges which shall be retained by the Servicer and Supplemental Servicing Fees; provided, that any payments received in respect of an Obligor that are not immediately identifiable as such, shall not be deemed “received” until such time as the Obligor is identified and the payment is allocated as such, in accordance with the Servicer’s customary servicing practices.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above and subject to and upon compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this clause (b), the Servicer may be permitted to make remittances of collections on a less frequent basis than that specified in clause (a) above for so long as such terms and conditions are fulfilled. Accordingly, the Servicer will be permitted to remit collections referred to in clause (a) above to the Collection Account in immediately available funds on each Deposit Date for so long as (i) (A) the Servicer shall be AHFC, (B) no Servicer Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and not have been waived in accordance with the Basic Documents, and (C) (x) the Required Servicer Rating is satisfied, or (y) if the Required Servicer Rating is not satisfied, the Servicer shall have obtained (1) a Servicer Letter of Credit issued by a depository institution or insurance company, as the case may be, having a short-term credit rating at least equal to the Required Deposit Rating and providing that the Indenture Trustee may draw thereon in the event that the Servicer fails to deposit collections into the Collection Account on a monthly basis, or (2) a surety bond, insurance policy or other deposit of cash or securities satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency; provided that in connection with clause (y) above, the Servicer satisfies the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Rating Agency for which the Servicer’s then-current short-term credit rating is not at least equal to the Required Servicer Rating for such Rating Agency and, if applicable, provides the Indenture Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate from the Servicer to the effect that the Servicer’s then-current short-term credit rating is at least equal to the Required Servicer Rating from each other Rating Agency, if any; and, provided further, that if the Servicer shall have obtained a Servicer Letter of Credit in accordance with subclause (1) above, the Servicer shall be required to remit collections to the Collection Account on each Business Day to the extent that the aggregate amount of collections described in clause (a) above and received during such Collection Period exceeds the amount of the Servicer Letter of Credit. The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event or circumstance under clause (i)(B) above that would require daily remittance by the Servicer to the Collection Account unless a Responsible Officer has received notice of such event or circumstance from the Seller or the Servicer in an Officer’s Certificate, from Securityholders as provided in Section 7.01 or from the Letter of Credit Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, immediately following (x) non-compliance with any of clause (A), (B) or (C) above, or (y) the occurrence of an event specified in Section 7.01(c) (notwithstanding any period of grace contained in such clause), the Servicer shall remit all collections referred to in clause (a) above to the Collection Account on a daily basis within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. For purposes of this Article the phrase “payments made on behalf of Obligors” shall mean payments made by Persons other than the Seller, the Servicer or the Letter of Credit Bank, if any. Any funds held by the Servicer which should have been deposited into the Collection Account but were not, thereby resulting in a payment under the Servicer Letter of Credit, if any, shall not be remitted to the Collection Account, but shall instead be paid immediately and directly to the Letter of Credit Bank. The Servicer shall also be permitted to reimburse the Letter of Credit Bank out of its own funds. Any such payment to the Letter of Credit Bank shall be accompanied by a copy of the Servicer’s Certificate related to the previous failure to remit funds and an Officer’s Certificate which includes a statement identifying, by reference to the items in such related Servicer’s Certificate, each shortfall in Servicer remittances to which such payment to the Letter of Credit Bank relates. The Servicer will also provide the Indenture Trustee with copies of each such Servicer’s Certificate and any Officer’s Certificate delivered with any such payment to the Letter of Credit Bank.
Remittances On each Remittance Date the Company shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the Determination Date (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Company is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the applicable Principal Prepayment Period which amounts shall be remitted on the following Remittance Date, together with any additional interest required to be deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with such Principal Prepayment in accordance with Section 4.04(viii), and minus (d) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the first day of the month of the Remittance Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts. With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the second Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Company on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such second Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company.
ACH Credit Entries/Provisional Payments When the Fund initiates or receives Automated Clearing House credit and debit entries pursuant to these guidelines and the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association and the New England Clearing House Association, the Transfer Agent will act as an Originating Depository Financial Institution and/or Receiving Depository Financial Institution, as the case may be, with respect to such entries. Credits given by the Transfer Agent with respect to an ACH credit entry are provisional until the Transfer Agent receives final settlement for such entry from the Federal Reserve Bank. If the Transfer Agent does not receive such final settlement, the Fund agrees that the Transfer Agent shall receive a refund of the amount credited to the Fund in connection with such entry, and the party making payment to the Fund via such entry shall not be deemed to have paid the amount of the entry.
Taxes and Fees Imposed on Purchasing Party But Collected And Remitted By Providing Party 11.3.1 Taxes and fees imposed on the purchasing Party shall be borne by the purchasing Party, even if the obligation to collect and/or remit such taxes or fees is placed on the providing Party.
11.3.2 To the extent permitted by applicable law, any such taxes and/or fees shall be shown as separate items on applicable billing documents between the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purchasing Party shall remain liable for any such taxes and fees regardless of whether they are actually billed by the providing Party at the time that the respective service is billed.
11.3.3 If the purchasing Party determines that in its opinion any such taxes or fees are not payable, the providing Party shall not xxxx such taxes or fees to the purchasing Party if the purchasing Party provides written certification, reasonably satisfactory to the providing Party, stating that it is exempt or otherwise not subject to the tax or fee, setting forth the basis therefor, and satisfying any other requirements under applicable law. If any authority seeks to collect any such tax or fee that the purchasing Party has determined and certified not to be payable, or any such tax or fee that was not billed by the providing Party, the purchasing Party may contest the same in good faith, at its own expense. In any such contest, the purchasing Party shall promptly furnish the providing Party with copies of all filings in any proceeding, protest, or legal challenge, all rulings issued in connection therewith, and all correspondence between the purchasing Party and the taxing authority.
11.3.4 In the event that all or any portion of an amount sought to be collected must be paid in order to contest the imposition of any such tax or fee, or to avoid the existence of a lien on the assets of the providing Party during the pendency of such contest, the purchasing Party shall be responsible for such payment and shall be entitled to the benefit of any refund or recovery.
11.3.5 If it is ultimately determined that any additional amount of such a tax or fee is due to the imposing authority, the purchasing Party shall pay such additional amount, including any interest and penalties thereon.
11.3.6 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the purchasing Party shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless (and defend at the purchasing Party’s expense) the providing Party from and against any such tax or fee, interest or penalties thereon, or other charges or payable expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) with respect thereto, which are incurred by the providing Party in connection with any claim for or contest of any such tax or fee.
11.3.7 Each Party shall notify the other Party in writing of any assessment, proposed assessment or other claim for any additional amount of such a tax or fee by a taxing authority; such notice to be provided, if possible, at least ten (10) days prior to the date by which a response, protest or other appeal must be filed, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such assessment, proposed assessment or claim.
Deposit Account Payments Subsection (b) is amended to read as follows:
Remittance Reports; P&I Advances (a) On the 15th day of each calendar month (or, if such 15th day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day), the Servicer shall furnish to the Securities Administrator a monthly remittance advice to the Securities Administrator in a format as mutually agreed to between the Servicer and the Securities Administrator, containing such information regarding the Mortgage Loans as needed by the Securities Administrator to perform its duties as set forth in Section 4.01 hereof. No later than three Business Days after the 15th day of each calendar month, the Servicer shall furnish to the Securities Administrator a monthly report containing such information regarding prepayments of Mortgage Loans during the applicable Prepayment Period in a format as mutually agreed to between the Servicer and the Securities Administrator.
(b) The amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Servicer for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were Delinquent as of the close of business on the related Determination Date, plus (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the related Due Date in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.23 for distribution on such Distribution Date; provided however, that with respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, a 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 4.03 with respect to such Balloon Loan in an amount equal to an assumed Monthly Payment that would otherwise be due based on the original amortization schedule for that Mortgage Loan (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate). On or before 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Collection Account for inclusion in Available Funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case, it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date on which such funds would be due. Nothing in this Section 4.03(b) shall be construed to prohibit the Servicer from reimbursing itself at any time from the Collection Account to the extent provided in Section 3.11 herein.
(c) The obligation of the Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee. In addition, the Servicer shall not be required to advance Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.
