(c) Pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, the Lockbox Servicer’s authorized representatives will have sole access to the Lockbox. ACS, ACS Funding, the Issuers and the Trust Depositors shall not have any authority to cancel or alter the name, address, location and other terms of the Lockbox without the written consent of all the parties hereto. Items will be endorsed, credited to the Lockbox Account and presented for payment through customary collection procedures.

 

(d) The Original Servicer confirms to each of the parties hereto that all actions of the Original Servicer taken hereunder and under the Lockbox Agreement with respect to Remittances received in the Lockbox or Lockbox Account shall be in its capacity as Original Servicer under the Credit Documents or the Syndicated Loan Documents, as applicable and not in its individual capacity. The Original Servicer (or any Successor Servicer (as defined below)),

 

12


shall (within two (2) business days of receipt of the associated remittance details) determine and identify which Remittances received in the Lockbox or Lockbox Account represent proceeds of the 2000-1 Assets (“2000-1 Remittances”), proceeds of the 2002-1 Assets (“2002-1 Remittances”), proceeds of the 2002-2 Assets (“2002-2 Remittances”), proceeds of the 2003-1 Assets (“2003-1 Remittances”), proceeds of the 2003-2 Assets (“2003-2 Remittances”), proceeds of Conduit Assets (“Conduit Remittances”), proceeds of the Syndicated Loan Assets (“Syndication Remittances”), proceeds of the Fairway Assets (“Fairway Remittances”), proceeds of Securitization Assets (“Securitization Remittances”) or proceeds of Other Assets (“Other Remittances”) (2000-1 Remittances, 2002-1 Remittances, 2002-2 Remittances, 2003-1 Remittances, 2003-2 Remittances, Conduit Remittances, Syndication Remittances, Fairway Remittances, Securitization Remittances and Other Remittances each constituting, for purposes of this Agreement, a “Type” of Remittance, and the category of receivable to which such Remittance relates constituting a “Type” of Receivable). In addition, the Original Servicer (or a Successor Servicer (as defined below), if applicable) shall determine whether any amounts in the Lockbox Account do not constitute Remittances with respect to receivables of one of the three Types referred to above, but have nonetheless been paid or deposited thereto by a customer in error (“Misdirected Payments”).

 

Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that:

 

  (1) if the Original Servicer is terminated or has resigned its role as original servicer under any of the Credit Documents or the Syndicated Loan Documents, or

 

  (2) if the funds in the Lockbox or Lockbox Account become subject to any seizure, freeze application, or enforcement of any security interest adverse to the interests of the Indenture Trustee, the Conduit Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Fairway Agent and each Securitization Agent,

 

then in any such case this Agreement shall continue to remain in full force and effect and a successor servicer to Original Servicer hereunder shall be appointed by delivery of joint written notice from the Indenture Trustee, the Conduit Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Fairway Agent and the applicable Securitization Agent to the Lockbox Bank identifying such successor servicer, together with such successor servicer’s written acceptance of such appointment, and such successor servicer (being referred to herein as the “Successor Servicer”) shall thereupon succeed to all rights, benefits, duties and obligations of the Original Servicer hereunder, to the extent the same relate to the giving of disbursement instructions above. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indenture Trustee, the Conduit Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Fairway Agent and the applicable Securitization Agent the parties hereto agree that Wells Fargo shall be the Successor Servicer.

 

In the event a customer with respect to a receivable of one Type is also a customer with respect to any other Type, and such customer makes one or more payments in any payment period, the Original Servicer (or a Successor Servicer, if applicable) shall determine which Remittances relate to which Type, and shall also determine how such payment or payments are to be allocated, in accordance with the allocation rules described below (unless (a) otherwise specified in writing by the customer in respect to that customer’s payment, in which case the payment shall be allocated in accordance with such customer specification or (b) if not specified

 

13

(i) First, to all past due payments, if any, with respect to each receivable of such customer, without regard to Type (but subject to the proviso below);

 

(ii) Second, to the minimum payment due in the current payment period with respect to each receivable of such customer, without regard to Type (but subject to the proviso below); and

 

(iii) Third, to the remaining outstanding balance of each receivable of such customer, without regard to Type (but subject to the proviso below);

 

provided, that, if in allocating Remittances in accordance with the above,

 

  (x) the Remittances to be allocated are in respect of more than one Type, and

 

  (y) the Remittances to be allocated are insufficient to satisfy for all Types of receivables the past due payments, minimum current payments due or remaining outstanding balances, as applicable,

 

then the Remittances shall be allocated to the past due payments, minimum current payments due or remaining outstanding balances, as applicable, for each Type of receivable pro rata based on the proportion that the past due payment, minimum current payment due or remaining outstanding balance, as applicable, for each such Type bears to the past due payments, minimum current payments due or remaining outstanding balances, as applicable, for all Types.

 

(e) Only the Original Servicer (or a Successor Servicer, if applicable) designated to the Lockbox Servicer in accordance with Section 3(d) shall have authority to deliver the written disbursement instructions to the Lockbox Servicer identifying Remittances held in the Lockbox Account as 2000-1 Remittances, 2002-1 Remittances, 2002-2 Remittances, 2003-1 Remittances, 2003-2 Remittances, Conduit Remittances, Syndication Remittances, Fairway Remittances, Securitization Remittances or Other Remittances and directing that transfers be made by the Lockbox Servicer from the Lockbox Account to (i) the collection account specified in the written instructions received from the Indenture Trustee with respect to the 2000-1 Remittances (the “2000-1 CollectionAccount”), (ii) the collection account specified in the written instructions received from the Indenture Trustee with respect to the 2002-1 Remittances (the “2002-1 Collection Account”), (ii) the collection account specified in the written instructions received from the Indenture Trustee with respect to the 2002-2 Remittances (the “2002-2 Collection Account”), (iv) the collection account specified in the written instructions received from the Indenture Trustee with respect to the 2003-1 Remittances (the “2003-1 Collection Account”), (v) the collection account specified in the written instructions received from the Indenture Trustee with respect to the 2003-2 Remittances (the “2003-2 Collection Account”), (vi) the conduit collection account(s) specified in the written instructions received from the Conduit Agent with respect to the Conduit Remittances (the “Conduit Collection Account”), (vii) the
