Subservicers The Master Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause a subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Master Servicer of a subservicer shall not release the Master Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Master Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall pay all fees of each subservicer from its own funds, and a subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee payable to the Master Servicer hereunder. At the cost and expense of the Master Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from its Protected Account, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Master Servicer, at the Master Servicer’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, the Master Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer from the Master Servicer’s own funds without reimbursement from the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by the subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between such subservicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee shall not have any obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such subservicer including any obligation, duty or liability of the Trustee to pay such subservicer’s fees and expenses. Each subservicing agreement shall provide that such agreement may be assumed or terminated without cause or penalty by the Trustee or other Successor Master Servicer in the event the Master Servicer is terminated in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of remittances to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when a subservicer has received such payment.
Successor Subservicers The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loan or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which will be bound by the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of Residential Funding acts as servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Subservicer which it replaces. If the Master Servicer enters into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Subservicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Subservicer in respect of the related Mortgage Loans and, in the event of any such assumption by the successor Subservicer, the Master Servicer may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Subservicer from liability for such representations and warranties.
Subservicer Any Person that services Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Servicer or any Subservicer and is responsible for the performance (whether directly or through Subservicers or Subcontractors) of a substantial portion of the material servicing functions required to be performed by the Servicer under this Agreement, with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, that are identified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB.
Subservicing Agreements between the Servicer and Subservicers (a) The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with Subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans ("Subservicing Agreements"). The Servicer represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that no Subservicing Agreement is in effect as of the Closing Date with respect to any Mortgage Loans required to be serviced by it hereunder. The Servicer shall give notice to the Depositor and the Trustee of any such Subservicer and Subservicing Agreement, which notice shall contain all information (including without limitation a copy of the Subservicing Agreement) reasonably necessary to enable the Trustee, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), to accurately and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act). No Subservicing Agreement shall be effective until 30 days after such written notice is received by both the Depositor and the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be required to review or consent to such Subservicing Agreements and shall have no liability in connection therewith.
Sub-Servicers The Special Servicer shall have the right to use a Sub-Servicer on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in Section 8.4 for a Sub-Servicer of the Master Servicer, except as set forth in this Section 9.4. The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, Trustee, Custodian and solely as it relates to any A/B Whole Loan, the holder of the related B Note, and solely as it relates to any Loan Pair, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, of the appointment of any Sub-Servicer of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall be solely responsible for the payment of compensation to any Sub-Servicer appointed by it. The Special Servicer shall not enter into future sub-servicing contracts unless it has provided to each Rating Agency a Rating Agency Communication with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the Special Servicer shall not enter into any sub-servicing agreement that provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations hereunder, without the consent of the Applicable Control Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld), except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, (ii) no sub-servicer shall be permitted under any sub-servicing agreement to make material servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Mortgage Loan documents, without the consent of the Special Servicer and (iii) after the Closing Date, if and for so long as the Trust or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Special Servicer, shall not enter into a sub-servicing agreement with any Prohibited Party.
Servicer The Servicer is authorized to prepare, or cause to be prepared, execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Trust or Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Basic Documents. Upon written request, the Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer a limited power of attorney appointing the Servicer the Trust's agent and attorney-in-fact to prepare, or cause to be prepared, execute and deliver all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions.
Successor Servicers The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Servicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the Servicer, the Master Servicer shall either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loan or enter into a Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer which will be bound by the terms of the related Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer or any affiliate of the Master Servicer acts as servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer which it replaces. If the Master Servicer enters into a Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Servicer in respect of the related Mortgage Loans and, in the event of any such assumption by the successor Servicer, the Master Servicer may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and warranties.
Appointment of Subservicer (a) The Servicer may at any time after the execution of this Agreement appoint a Subservicer to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholder and the Noteholders for the servicing and administering of the Receivables in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Receivables. The fees and expenses of the Subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and its Subservicer from time to time, and none of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholder or the Noteholders shall have any responsibility therefor.
Subservicing Agreements and Successor Subservicer (a) The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements for any servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans with any institution which (i) is an approved Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac Seller/Servicer as indicated in writing, (ii) which represents and warrants that it is in compliance with the laws of each state as necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such subservicing agreement and (iii) which is acceptable to the NIMS Insurer. For this purpose, subservicing shall not be deemed to include the use of a tax service, or services for reconveyance, insurance or brokering REO Property or the retention of third party contractors to perform certain servicing and loan administration functions, including without limitation, hazard insurance administration, tax payment and administration, flood certification and administration, collection services and similar functions. The Servicer shall give prior written notice to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer of the appointment of any subservicer and shall furnish to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a copy of such subservicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans immediately upon receipt by any subservicer of such payments. Any such subservicing agreement shall be acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. Each subservicing agreement shall provide that a successor Servicer shall have the option to terminate such agreement without payment of any fees if the predecessor Servicer is terminated or resigns.
Subservicing The Servicer may at any time appoint a subservicer to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied in connection therewith; and provided further that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Securitization Bondholders for the servicing and administering of the Transferred Securitization Property in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Transferred Securitization Property. The fees and expenses of the subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and its subservicer from time to time, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Securitization Bondholders shall have any responsibility therefor. Any such appointment shall not constitute a Servicer resignation under Section 5.06.
