This Agreement is being executed to facilitate the servicing of Defaulted Receivables by the Servicer and the transfer of Recoveries to the MTII Trustee.

ARTICLE II

 

SERVICING AND TRANSFER FOR COLLECTION

Section 2.01.   Confirmation of Servicing. The Servicer is obligated under the Pooling Agreement to service and administer each Defaulted Receivable that has been transferred automatically to Funding until all related Recoveries have been remitted to the MTII Trustee. The Servicing Fee is an arm’s-length and fair-market-value fee for all of the Servicer’s obligations under the Pooling Agreement, including its obligation to service and administer each Defaulted Receivable.

Section 2.02.   Transfer for Collection. By executing this Agreement and without any further action, immediately after a Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable and is transferred to Funding by the MTII Trustee under Section 4.03(d) of the Pooling Agreement, Funding transfers and assigns to the Servicer for collection all of Funding’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under that Defaulted Receivable. In addition, Funding ratifies and affirms its transfer and assignment to the Servicer for collection of all of Funding’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Receivables that became Defaulted Receivables before the Closing Date. The Servicer accepts, for collection, all of these Defaulted Receivables subject to the MTII Trustee’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under all Recoveries allocable to the Defaulted Receivables.

Section 2.03.   Sale of Defaulted Receivables to Third-Party Purchasers. The Servicer may recover on Defaulted Receivables by selling them to third-party purchasers. The purchase price that is paid for any Defaulted Receivable by a third-party purchaser will be a Recovery that must be remitted to the MTII Trustee. By executing this Agreement and without any further action, Funding releases all of its right, title, and interest in, to, and under any Defaulted Receivable that is sold to a third-party purchaser upon the full and irrevocable payment of the related purchase price.

 

 

Section 2.04.   Transfer of Recoveries. All Recoveries – including any payment described in Section 2.03 – must be remitted as required under the Pooling Agreement. Consistent with the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Pooling Agreement, to the extent that the parties cannot determine whether recovered amounts relate to Receivables that had been transferred to the MTII Trustee or to other receivables, the Recoveries that must be remitted to the MTII Trustee will equal the amount reasonably estimated by the parties as having been recovered on Receivables that had been transferred to the MTII Trustee.

Section 2.05.   Representations and Warranties. On the Closing Date, each party represents and warrants that (i) it has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) it has full power and authority, and has taken all necessary action, to duly authorize, execute, and deliver this Agreement, to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not violate any applicable law, conflict with any agreement that is material to it, or require any approvals that it has not already obtained, (iv) this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid, and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or by principles of equity, and (v) it is not insolvent and is not expected to become insolvent.
