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.
Note Paying Agents (a) The Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more Note Paying Agents that meet the eligibility standards for the Indenture Trustee specified in Section 6.11(a). The Note Paying Agents will have the power to make distributions from the Trust Accounts. (b) Any Person into which a Note Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which a Note Paying Agent is a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of a Note Paying Agent, will be the successor of such Note Paying Agent under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any document or any further act. (c) A Note Paying Agent may resign by giving notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may terminate the agency of a Note Paying Agent by giving notice of termination to such Note Paying Agent, the Administrator and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Indenture Trustee may appoint a successor Note Paying Agent and will notify the Administrator and the Issuer of any such appointment. (d) Sections 2.8 and 6.4 will apply to each Note Paying Agent.
Registrar, Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent; Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust (a) The Company may appoint one or more Registrars and one or more Paying Agents, and the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent, in which case each reference in this Indenture to the Trustee in respect of the obligations of the Trustee to be performed by that Agent will be deemed to be references to the Agent. The Company may act as Registrar or (except for purposes of Article 8)
Indenture Trustee Not Obligated Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Indenture Trustee is not obligated to enter into an amendment that adversely affects the Indenture Trustee’s rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities, indemnities or immunities under this Indenture.
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.
Resignation and Removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created (i) by giving written notice of resignation to the other such party, the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Trustee), the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders and the 17g-5 Information Provider, who shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), and by mailing notice of resignation by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trust Interest Owners at their addresses appearing on the Certificate Register, not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.8, such resignation is to take effect, and (ii) only upon acceptance by a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, appointed by the Depositor in accordance with Section 8.8 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.6. Upon receipt of such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, the appointment of which would not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal by the Rating Agency of the then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates, as evidenced by a written confirmation from the Rating Agency, in triplicate, which written confirmation shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator, and to the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable. If no successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, at the expense of the Trust. If at any time any of the following occur: (x) the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 and shall fail to resign after written request for the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s resignation by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable; (y) the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator materially defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; or (z) if at any time the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall become incapable of action, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or of either of their property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then in any such case, the Depositor may remove the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an authorized officer of the Depositor, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable. Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than a majority of the Voting Rights of the outstanding Certificates, may at any time remove the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and appoint a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorney-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instrument or instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor (with a copy to the Servicer and the Special Servicer), one complete set to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, so removed and one complete set to the successor(s) so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall be given to the Rating Agencies (through the successor 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, as applicable) and the Initial Purchasers by the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable. No removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall be effective until all reasonable fees, costs, expenses and Advances (including interest thereon) to which it is entitled have been paid to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in full; provided that, if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is terminated by the Depositor pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, or if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is terminated with cause by the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificates as provided above in this paragraph, then the terminated party shall be required to pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including those incurred by the other parties hereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees of counsel)) to transfer the rights and obligations of the terminated party to a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable; and provided, further, that if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is terminated without cause by the Holders of Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificates as provided above in this paragraph, then such Holders will be required to pay all the reasonable costs and expenses of the terminated party necessary to effect the transfer of the rights and obligations of the terminated party to a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, as provided in Section 8.8.
