If the HSA Note to be repurchased is an eNote, Subservicer shall notify Fannie Mae that the repurchase has been completed so that Fannie Mae can notify MERS e-registry of the change of ownership of the eNote. If the Originating Subservicer desires to independently contract with Subservicer to continue to service the repurchased loan, Subservicer must make appropriate modifications to their system to indicate that the loan no longer belongs to Fannie Mae and belongs to Originating Subservicer.
     (j) Charge-Offs. Subservicer will charge-off the HSA Loan after the loan is delinquent 120 days. The original promissory note, if applicable, will be forwarded to the recovery collections contractor designated by Fannie Mae, along with all account history and such other data and information as Fannie Mae reasonably requests. If the charged-off USA Loan is evidenced by an eNote, the Subservicer will notify MERS°eRegistry, and notify Fannie Mae so that Fannie Mae can charge-off the HSA Loan.
