Servicing of the Mortgage Loans The Mortgage Loans have been sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on a servicing released basis. Subject to, and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein), the Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, conveys and delivers to the Purchaser the Servicing Rights. The Purchaser shall retain the Interim Servicer as contract servicer of the Mortgage Loans for an interim period pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein). The Seller shall cause the Interim Servicer to execute the Interim Servicing Agreement on the initial Closing Date. Pursuant to the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein), the Interim Servicer shall begin servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Purchaser and shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loans until the applicable Transfer Date. The Interim Servicer shall conduct such servicing in accordance with the Interim Servicing Agreement. The Interim Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and for the performance of any and all other activities of the Interim Servicer as provided in the Interim Servicing Agreement. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Seller shall assign its obligation to service the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Purchaser to its interim subservicer, which, on the date of this Agreement, is either Option One Mortgage Corporation or Litton Loan Servicing, LP.
Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds (which, for the purpose of this Section, includes any Subsequent Recoveries), and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Customary Servicing Procedures, applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Notes and Mortgages. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration including, but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof, (a) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (b) to consent, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services, to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (c) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loans it services, and (d) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan it services. The Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan, except as provided pursuant to Section 3.21. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of any Subservicer or the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer or any Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services, and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans it services to the extent that the Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee, upon the direction of the Servicer, shall promptly execute such documents and deliver them to the Servicer. In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans it services, which Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. The costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. The relationship of the Servicer (and of any successor to the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS Section 3.01 Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer; Administration of the Mortgage Loans; Sub-Servicing Agreements; Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans 185 Section 3.02 Liability of the Master Servicer 197 Section 3.03 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments 198 Section 3.04 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts 200
Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage Loans (a) The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate Account). The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the liquidation proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a 1 mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan for the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures. With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Master Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trustee's capacity thereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer 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 Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Master Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Certificate Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Master Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required, and delivering the same to the Trustee for filing. In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable in a manner that maximizes the Liquidation Proceeds thereof, but in no event later than three years after its acquisition by the Trust Fund. In that event, the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to a three-year period, if applicable, will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) after the expiration of such three-year period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes. In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan. The decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Basic Master Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Certificate Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan. The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Basic Master Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the Certificate Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.14. The Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is 151 days or more delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may only exercise this right on or before the next to the last day of the calendar month in which such Mortgage Loan became 151 days delinquent (such month, the "Eligible Repurchase Month"); provided further, that any such Mortgage Loan which becomes current but thereafter becomes delinquent may be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section in any ensuing Eligible Repurchase Month. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Certificate Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of a certificate from the Master Servicer in the form of Exhibit N hereto, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto. (b) The Master Servicer may agree to a modification of any Mortgage Loan (the "Modified Mortgage Loan") if (i) the modification is in lieu of a refinancing and (ii) the Mortgage Rate on the Modified Mortgage Loan is approximately a prevailing market rate for newly-originated mortgage loans having similar terms and (iii) the Master Servicer purchases the Modified Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described below. Effective immediately after the modification, and, in any event, on the same Business Day on which the modification occurs, all interest of the Trustee in the Modified Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed transferred and assigned to the Master Servicer and all benefits and burdens of ownership thereof, including the right to accrued interest thereon from the date of modification and the risk of default thereon, shall pass to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer to the effect that all requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied with respect to the Modified Mortgage Loan. For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee shall account for such purchase as a prepayment in full of the Modified Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall deposit the Purchase Price for any Modified Mortgage Loan in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05 within one Business Day after the purchase of the Modified Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of any such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release to the Master Servicer the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer any Modified Mortgage Loan previously transferred and assigned pursuant hereto. The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund against any liability for any "prohibited transaction" taxes and any related interest, additions, and penalties imposed on the Trust Fund established hereunder as a result of any modification of a Mortgage Loan effected pursuant to this subsection (b), any holding of a Modified Mortgage Loan by the Trust Fund or any purchase of a Modified Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer (but such obligation shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other appropriate Person from in good faith contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Master Servicer from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Master Servicer shall have no right of reimbursement for any amount paid pursuant to the foregoing indemnification, except to the extent that the amount of any tax, interest, and penalties, together with interest thereon, is refunded to the Trust Fund or the Master Servicer.
Servicing of the Mortgage Loan (a) Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that, subject in each case to the specific terms of this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement. (b) Prior to the closing of a Lead Securitization, all servicing and other decisions regarding the Mortgage Loan shall be made: (i) with respect to matters set forth on Exhibit D hereto, by unanimous consent of the Holders and (ii) with respect to all other matters, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the Servicing Agreement (provided that any conflict between the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement shall be resolved in favor of this Agreement), by the Directing Holder. Each PSA shall contain terms and conditions that are customary for securitization transactions involving assets similar to the Mortgage Loan and that are otherwise (A) required by the Code relating to the tax elections of any Trust Fund, (B) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (C) requested by the Rating Agencies rating any Securitization. (c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents, effective upon the Lead Securitization, to the appointment of the Master Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement by the Depositor and the appointment of the Special Servicer by the Directing Holder and agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Agreement. Each Holder hereby appoints, effective upon the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact to sign any documents reasonably required with respect to the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan on its behalf under the Servicing Agreement (subject at all times to the rights of the Holders as set forth herein and in such Servicing Agreement). (d) If, at any time the Lead Note is no longer in a Securitization, the Lead Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to a servicing agreement that is substantially similar to the Servicing Agreement (and, if any Non-Lead Note is in a Securitization, a Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agencies that were engaged by the Depositor to rate such Securitization shall be obtained) and all references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that until a replacement Servicing Agreement has been entered into (and such Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained), the Lead Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement that was previously in effect for the Lead Note, as if such Servicing Agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, however, that until a replacement Servicing Agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any Qualified Servicer appointed by the Lead Note Holder and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement that was previously in effect.
Purchase of Mortgage Loans; Termination of Trust Fund Upon Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Securities Administrator to make payments to the Certificateholders as set forth in Section 7.02), shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 7.01(c) and (iii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambasxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxed States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof. Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be carried out in such a manner so that the termination of each REMIC included therein shall qualify as a "qualified liquidation" under the REMIC Provisions. (b) [Reserved]. (c) On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional Purchase Date, the Depositor has the option to cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation pursuant to Sections 7.02 and 7.03 hereof to sell all of its property. If the Depositor elects to exercise such option, it shall no later than 30 days prior to the Distribution Date selected for purchase of the assets of the Trust Fund (the "Purchase Date") deliver written notice to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and either (a) deposit in the Distribution Account the Redemption Price or (b) state in such notice that the Redemption Price shall be deposited in the Distribution Account not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date. Upon exercise of such option, the property of the Trust Fund shall be sold to the Depositor at a price equal to the Redemption Price. (d) The Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be reimbursed from the Redemption Price for any Advances, Servicer Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and Master Servicing Fees or other amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are reimbursable to such parties under this Agreement, the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or the related Custodial Agreement.
Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments (a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below and provided further that unless the Mortgage Note is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable, an opinion of tax counsel has been obtained to the effect that such extension will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely P&I Advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.03(d) pursuant to which the Servicer shall not be required to make any such P&I Advances that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the related Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any related Mortgagor. (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer may waive a Prepayment Premium pursuant to the conditions set forth in Section 2.05(a)(vii). With respect to any such waiver of a Prepayment Premium, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the conditions set forth in Section 2.05(a)(vii) have been met with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. (c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Prepayment Premium payable under the terms of the Mortgage Note is less than the amount of the Prepayment Premium set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Prepayment Premium Schedule or other information provided to the Servicer, the Servicer shall not have liability or obligation with respect to such difference, and in addition the Servicer shall not have any liability or obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Premium if the failure to collect such amount is the direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
Transfer of the Mortgage Loans Possession of Mortgage Files. The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans. The contents of each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date are and shall be held in trust by the Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File is vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the possession of the Seller on or after the Closing Date shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall be delivered immediately to the Purchaser or as otherwise directed by the Purchaser.
Termination Upon Purchase by the Master Servicer or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans (a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Article IX, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth, the Trust and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee created hereby shall terminate in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute upon (i) the purchase by the Master Servicer pursuant to the following paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) of all Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in the REMIC formed under this Agreement at a price equal, after the deduction of related advances, to the sum of (x) the excess of (A) 100% of the aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans) plus accrued interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate with respect to such Mortgage Loan (other than a Liquidated Mortgage Loan) through the last day of the month of such purchase, over (B) with respect to any Mortgage Loan which is not a Liquidated Mortgage Loan, the amount of the Bankruptcy Loss incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan as of the date of such purchase by the Master Servicer to the extent that the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan has not been previously reduced by such Bankruptcy Loss, and (y) the appraised fair market value as of the effective date of the termination of the Trust of (A) all property in the Trust which secured a Mortgage Loan and which was acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure after the Cut-Off Date, including related Insurance Proceeds, and (B) all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement, any such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee, or (ii) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure in respect of any Mortgage Loan, and the payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the issue of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. On any Distribution Date after the first date on which the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the Clean-Up Call Percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, the Master Servicer may purchase the outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement at the price stated in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph; provided, that the Master Servicer may not so purchase the outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement if the price stated in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph exceeds the fair market value, determined in accordance with prudent industry practices, of all outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement. If such right is exercised, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee (and to the Company, if the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer) the written certification of an officer of the Master Servicer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts required to be paid in order to purchase the Mortgage Loans have been deposited in the Certificate Account) and the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall promptly execute all instruments as may be necessary to release and assign to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files and any foreclosed Mortgaged Property pertaining to the Trust. In no event shall the Master Servicer be required to expend any amounts other than those described in the first paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) in order to terminate the Trust or purchase the Mortgage Loans under this Section 9.01, and in no event shall the Company be required to expend any amounts in connection with such termination or purchase. (b) Notice of any termination, specifying the date upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by letter from the Trustee to Certificateholders mailed not less than 30 days prior to such final distribution, specifying (i) the date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar therein designated (the “Termination Date”), (ii) the amount of such final payment (the “Termination Payment”) and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to the Distribution Date upon which the Termination Date occurs is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar therein specified. Upon any such notice, the Certificate Account shall terminate subject to the Master Servicer’s obligation to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.
