Indenture Trustee to Cooperate By each Payment Date, the Master Servicer will notify the Indenture Trustee whenever the Asset Balance of any Mortgage Loan has been paid in full during the preceding Collection Period. A Servicing Officer shall certify that the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full and that all amounts received in connection with the payment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.02 have been so deposited or credited. Upon payment in full pursuant to Section 3.01, the Master Servicer is authorized to execute an instrument of satisfaction regarding the related mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction shall be recorded by the Master Servicer if required by applicable law and be delivered to the person entitled to it. If the mortgage has been registered on the MERS(R) System, the Master Servicer shall cause the removal of the mortgage from registration on the MERS(R) System and execute and deliver, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, any instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. No expenses incurred in connection with the instrument of satisfaction or transfer shall be reimbursed from amounts deposited in the Collection Account or the Payment Account. As appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, or in connection with the payment in full of the Asset Balance of any Mortgage Loan, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit C signed by a Servicing Officer, the Indenture Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall execute any documents provided by the Master Servicer necessary to the prosecution of any proceedings or the taking of other servicing actions. The Request for Release by a Servicing Officer may be delivered to the Indenture Trustee electronically, and if it is, its form may differ from Exhibit C so long as it contains the information required by Exhibit C (that is, the relevant loan number, at least one of the five reasons for requesting file as found in Exhibit C, and the acknowledgment that the Mortgage File will be held in accordance with this Agreement and will promptly be returned to the Indenture Trustee when the need for it by the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated or retransferred), and to the extent the transmission originates on its face from a Servicing Officer, need not be manually signed. The Master Servicer shall return the Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee when the need for it by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that specified above, the Request for Release shall be released by the Indenture Trustee to the Master Servicer. To facilitate the foreclosure of the mortgage securing any Mortgage Loan that is in default following recordation of the assignments of mortgage in accordance with this Agreement, if so requested by the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall execute an appropriate assignment in the form provided to the Indenture Trustee by the Master Servicer to assign the Mortgage Loan for the purpose of collection to the Master Servicer or a subservicer. The assignment shall unambiguously indicate that the assignment is for the purpose of collection only. The Master Servicer will then bring all required actions in its own name and otherwise enforce the terms of the Mortgage Loan and deposit the Net Liquidation Proceeds, exclusive of Foreclosure Profits, in the Collection Account. If all delinquent payments due under the Mortgage Loan are paid by the mortgagor and any other defaults are cured, then the Master Servicer shall promptly reassign the Mortgage Loan to the Indenture Trustee and return the related Mortgage File to the place where it was being maintained.
Trustee to Cooperate Upon the payment in full of the Principal Balance of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will notify the Trustee by a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.02 have been so deposited) of a Servicing Officer. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer is authorized to execute, pursuant to the authorization contained in Section 5.01, an instrument of satisfaction regarding the related Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction shall be recorded by the Servicer if required by applicable law and be delivered to the Person entitled thereto, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction shall be reimbursed from the Collection Account. From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Trustee shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a trust receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary for the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the trust receipt shall be released by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Trustee to the Servicer.
Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor (a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or sends a notice pursuant to Section 6.04, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof. Nothing in this Servicing Agreement or in the Trust Agreement shall be construed to permit or require the Indenture Trustee to (i) succeed to the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the initial Servicer in its capacity as Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (ii) be responsible or accountable for any act or omission of the Servicer prior to the issuance of a notice of termination hereunder, (iii) require or obligate the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, to purchase, repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan, (iv) fund any losses on any Eligible Investment directed by any other Servicer, or (v) be responsible for the representations and warranties of the Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Indenture Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer, or (ii) if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Mortgage Collateral holders may (in the situation described in clause (i)) or shall (in the situation described in clause (ii)) appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; PROVIDED that any such successor Servicer shall be acceptable to the Credit Enhancer, as evidenced by the Credit Enhancer's prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and provided further that the appointment of any such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Securities by the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless the Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Indenture Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.09 (or such lesser compensation as the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall agree). The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Servicing Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer (including, without limitation, the obligation to purchase Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.01, to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.04 or to indemnify the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06), nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Servicing Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. (b) Any successor, including the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, to the Servicer as servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer (i) continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Securityholders, (ii) maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.13. (c) Any successor Servicer, including the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Mortgage Collateral holders, shall not be deemed in default or to have breached its duties hereunder if the predecessor Servicer shall fail to deliver any required deposit to the Collection Account or otherwise cooperate with any required servicing transfer or succession hereunder.
Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals The recitals herein contained are made by the Company and not by the Trustee, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this First Supplemental Indenture.
Right of Trustee to Rely on Officers' Certificate, etc Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.
Substitution of Trustee Beneficiary may from time to time substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder to execute this Trust. Upon such appointment, and without conveyance to the successor trustee, the latter will be vested with all title, powers, and duties conferred upon any Trustee herein named or acting hereunder. Each such appointment and substitution is to be made by written instrument executed by Beneficiary, containing reference to this Deed of Trust and its place of record, which, when duly recorded in the proper office of the county or counties in which the Property is situated, will be conclusive proof of proper appointment of the successor trustee.
Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes of any Series or Class may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee, without the possession of any of the Notes of such Series or Class or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee, will be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment will, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its respective agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders of the Notes of such Series or Class in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
Trustee to Act as Master Servicer In the event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.9 hereof or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 hereof, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Master Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.2 hereof. If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each subservicing agreement. The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming party.
Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files (a) Upon the payment in full of any Home Equity Loan (including any liquidation of such Home Equity Loan through foreclosure or otherwise), or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, a written request of the Servicer, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N, signed by an Authorized Officer which states the purpose of the release of a File. Upon receipt of such written request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee shall promptly release the related File, in trust, in its reasonable discretion to (i) the Servicer, (ii) an escrow agent or (iii) any employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee. Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification that such funds have been placed in escrow, the Servicer is authorized to give, as attorney-in-fact for the Trustee and the mortgagee under the Mortgage which secured the Note, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage without recourse) regarding the Property relating to such Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of payment in full, it being understood and agreed that no expense incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Principal and Interest Account or to the Trustee. (b) The Servicer shall have the right to accept applications of Mortgagors for consent to (i) partial releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations and (iii) removal, demolition or division of Properties subject to Mortgages. No application for approval shall be considered by the Servicer unless: (x) the provisions of the related Note and Mortgage have been complied with; (y) the Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio after any release does not exceed the Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio of such Note on the Cut-Off Date or Replacement Cut-Off Date, as applicable, and any increase in the Loan-to-Value Ratio shall not exceed 5%; and (z) the lien priority of the related Mortgage is not affected. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate executed on behalf of the Servicer setting forth the action proposed to be taken in respect of a particular Home Equity Loan and certifying that the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer the consent or partial release so requested by the Servicer. A proposed form of consent or partial release, as the case may be, shall accompany any Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this paragraph. (c) From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of any Home Equity Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other comparable conversion of a Home Equity Loan or collection under any applicable Insurance Policy, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall release the related File to the Servicer, promptly upon a written request of the Servicer, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N, signed by an Authorized Officer, which states the purpose of the release of a File. Such receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the File to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists. (d) In all cases where the Servicer directs the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to sign any document or to release a File within a particular period of time, the Servicer shall notify an Authorized Officer of the Trustee by telephone of such need and the Trustee shall thereon use its best efforts to comply with the Servicer’s needs, but in any event will comply within two Business Days of such request. (e) No costs associated with the procedures described in this Section 8.14 shall be an expense of the Trust.
