13. DEFINITION OF SERVICER: The term “Servicer” as used herein shall mean the firm responsible for doing the actual servicing of the note(s), and such term shall encompass any Subservicer appointed by Servicer to perform note servicing functions at the request of Servicer.

 

14. NON-PERFORMING NOTE: During the term of this Agreement, Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments under the terms of each mortgage as they become due. If Mortgagor fails to make a scheduled note payment, then for the purposes of this Agreement, the note(s) will be referred to as a non-performing note (“NPN”). In the event of an NPN, Servicer shall make diligent efforts to encourage the Mortgagor to pay past due amounts promptly. Servicer, at Servicer’s sole discretion, shall decide which NPN services shall be utilized in each individual case in an effort to achieve resolution. NPN services provided by Servicer may include the following:

 

	a.	Mortgagor Communications: Servicer will utilize a combination of telephone calls, default letters, and demand letters to inform Mortgagor that payment is late and to review the payment terms of the mortgage. Servicer will also inquire about what difficulties or problems are causing the NPN. In addition, the Servicer will encourage the Mortgagor to make arrangements to bring the note current immediately and/or make a commitment to bring the note current at a specified time in the immediate future;
	b.	NPN Resolution: Servicer shall proceed diligently to administrate an equitable resolution to the NPN on behalf of the Investor. Servicer will utilize a combination of meetings with Mortgagor, property inspections, Mortgagor and project financial analysis, payment plans, and/or identification of a Third Party partner or Assignee to provide capital to bring payments current and fund project to completion;
	c.	Collateral Repossession: After the 60th day respectively that a payment becomes past due, and at the written request of Investor, Servicer shall proceed diligently to administrate collateral repossession for the Investor. Collateral repossession services by Servicer may include facilitating an assignment of beneficial interest to the Investor if property title is held in a Land Trust, and/or facilitate the identification and retention of legal counsel for the purposes of filing and completing a foreclosure action;

	d.	Assignment to Second Mortgage Holder: This paragraph applies only if there is a 2nd mortgage Investor that has an agreement with the 1st mortgage Investor, allowing the 2nd mortgage Investor the option of assuming Mortgagor’s position in the property in the event of a default. Servicer, at the request of the 2nd mortgage Investor, shall facilitate assignment to the 2nd mortgage Investor according to the terms of the option agreement. The option agreement typically will require the 2nd mortgage Investor to bring the 1st mortgage Investor current, maintain payments, capitalize and manage the project to completion; and
	e.	Collateral Liquidation: Upon successful collateral repossession for Investor, Servicer, at Investor’s request, shall facilitate the identification of a capital recovery service.

15. EXPENSES: If Mortgagor fails to make necessary payments to maintain and protect subject property, then Investor shall be responsible for all such expenses, including expenses incurred to repossess and/or liquidate subject property, if necessary.

Upon advanced notice to Investor, Servicer may advance outside party expenses on behalf of Investor. Investor shall reimburse Servicer for all outside party expenses advanced within thirty (30) days of written invoice. Notices under this section are not required to be in writing.

20. FORCE MAJEURE: Any obligation of either party under this Agreement is expressly made subject to the condition that if circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such party make its performance impossible, or would raise materially the cost of performance, then the time of performance shall be extended until a date that is reasonably practicable for performance or until the end of the circumstance giving rise to the delay.
