Succession; Sub-Servicers; Subcontractors (a) For so long as the Trust or any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (in addition to any requirements contained in Section 10.07 of this Agreement), in connection with the succession to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as servicer or sub-servicer (to the extent such Sub-Servicer is a “servicer” as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB) or succession to the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, such Sub-Servicer or Certificate Administrator may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any such Sub-Servicer or Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator (or, in the case of a successor to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee) shall provide to the Depositor, as well as any Other Depositor as to which the applicable Companion Loan is affected, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment as long as such disclosure prior to such effective date would not be violative of any applicable law or confidentiality agreement, otherwise no later than one (1) Business Day after such effective date, (x) written notice to the Depositor and each such Other Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and each such Other Depositor, all information relating to such successor (which such successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Sub-Servicer or Certificate Administrator shall be required to provide) reasonably requested by the Depositor or any such Other Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation 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). The Certificate Administrator (or the Trustee, if applicable) shall provide similar notice to the Depositor and each such Other Depositor in connection with any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Certificate Administrator. In addition, with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with the Trust’s obligations under each Co-Lender Agreement (including with respect to the provision of any required notices) in connection with any resignation, termination, replacement or appointment of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Certificate Administrator or any successor thereto.
Enforcement of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations (a) Each Servicing Agreement requires the applicable Servicer, respectively, to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions thereof. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Any fees and other amounts payable to a Servicer shall be deducted from amounts remitted to the Master Servicer by such Servicer to the extent permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall not be an obligation of the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Master Servicer.
Servicer's Capabilities The Servicer's collection staff must be sufficiently skilled in financial counseling and mortgage servicing techniques to assist a Borrower to bring his Mortgage Loan current and to protect his equity and credit rating, while at the same time protecting the interests of the Trustee and of the Master Servicer.
Servicer’s Fees As compensation for performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Servicer will be paid the Servicing Fee. On each Payment Date, the Issuer will pay the Servicing Fee to the Servicer according to Section 8.2 of the Indenture. In addition, the Servicer may retain any Supplemental Servicing Fees and will receive investment earnings (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds in the Bank Accounts in each Collection Period.
Administrator’s Certificate; Servicer’s Report (a) On or before the tenth day of each month (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day), the Servicer shall deliver to the Administrator a Servicer’s Report with respect to the preceding month containing all information necessary for the Administrator to receive in connection with the preparation of the Administrator’s Officers’ Certificate covering such calendar month referred to in Section 3.1(b) below. On or before the tenth day (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day), preceding each Distribution Date the Servicer shall deliver to the Administrator a Servicer’s Report with respect to the preceding Collection Period containing all information necessary for the Administrator to receive in connection with the preparation of the Administrator’s Certificate covering such Collection Period referred to in Section 3.1(c) below.
Servicers to Service Mortgage Loans For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the NMC Servicer shall service and administer the NMC Mortgage Loans, the BAFSB Servicer shall service and administer the BAFSB Mortgage Loans and the BANA Servicer shall service and administer the BAFSB Mortgage Loans, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Customary Servicing Procedures, applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Notes and Mortgages. In connection with such servicing and administration, each Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration including, but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof, (a) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (b) to consent, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services, to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (c) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loans it services, and (d) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan it services. Each Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan, except as provided pursuant to Section 3.21. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Servicer, in its own name or in the name of any Subservicer or the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when such Servicer or any Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services, and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans it services to the extent that such Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee, upon the direction of the related Servicer, shall promptly execute such documents and deliver them to the related Servicer. In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, each Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans it services, which Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. The costs incurred by the Servicers, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. The relationship of each Servicer (and of any successor to any Servicer as servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
Remittance Reports; Advances by the Master Servicer (a) By 11:00 A.M. New York time the Business Day following each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a report, prepared as of the close of business on the Determination Date (the "Determination Date Report"), by telecopy or in a mutually agreeable electronic format. The Determination Date Report and any written information supplemental thereto shall include such information with respect to the Mortgage Loans that is reasonably available to the Master Servicer and that is required by the Trustee for purposes of making the calculations referred to in the following paragraph, as set forth in written specifications or guidelines issued by the Trustee from time to time. Not later than 2:00 P.M. New York time on the Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Trustee shall furnish by telecopy to the Master Servicer a statement (the information in such statement to be made available to Certificateholders or the Depositor by the Master Servicer on request) setting forth (i) the Available Distribution Amount, (ii) the amounts required to be withdrawn from the Custodial Account and deposited into the Certificate Account on the immediately succeeding Certificate Account Deposit Date pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4.01 (a); and (iii) such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may reasonably require to perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.02. The determination by the Trustee of such amounts shall, in the absence of obvious error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder.
Advances by the Master Servicer; Distribution Reports to the Trustee (a) To the extent described below, the Master Servicer is obligated to advance its own funds to the Certificate Account to cover any shortfall between (i) payments scheduled to be received in respect of Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the amounts actually deposited in the Certificate Account on account of such payments. The Master Servicer's obligation to make any advance or advances described in this Section 4.02 is effective only to the extent that such advance is, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer made on or before the second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, reimbursable from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loans or recoverable as late Monthly Payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise. Prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether or not it will make a Monthly P&I Advance on the Business Day prior to such Distribution Date (in the event that the applicable Servicer fails to make such advances) and shall furnish a written statement to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, if any, and to any Certificateholder requesting the same, setting forth the aggregate amount to be advanced on account of principal and interest in respect of the Mortgage Loans, stated separately. In the event that the Master Servicer shall be required to make a Monthly P&I Advance, it shall on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such Monthly P&I Advance, (ii) make an appropriate entry in the records of the Certificate Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 4.02, used by the Master Servicer to make such Monthly P&I Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Monthly P&I Advance. Any funds being held for future distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding any future Distribution Date to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on such Distribution Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required to be made on such date with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Under each Selling and Servicing Contract, the Master Servicer is entitled to receive from the Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the Servicers amounts received by the applicable Servicers on particular Mortgage Loans as late payments of principal and interest or as Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds and respecting which the Master Servicer has made an unreimbursed advance of principal and interest. The Master Servicer is also entitled to receive other amounts from the related Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the Servicers to reimburse itself for prior Nonrecoverable Advances respecting Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicers. The Master Servicer shall deposit these amounts in the Investment Account prior to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05. In accordance with Section 3.05, Monthly P&I Advances are reimbursable to the Master Servicer from cash in the Investment Account or the Certificate Account to the extent that the Master Servicer shall determine that any such advances previously made are Nonrecoverable Advances pursuant to Section 4.03.
Servicer’s Accounting On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to each of the trustees and other applicable parties under the Further Transfer Agreements and to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies a Servicer’s Accounting with respect to the immediately preceding Monthly Period executed by any Authorized Officer of the Servicer containing all information necessary to each such party for making any distributions required by this Agreement and the Further Transfer Agreements, and all information necessary to each such party for sending any statements required under the Further Transfer Agreements. Receivables to be purchased by the Servicer under Section 2.07 or to be repurchased by the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer under Pooling Agreement and the Further Transfer Agreements as of the last day of any Monthly Period shall be identified by Receivable number (as set forth in the Schedule of Receivables). With respect to any Receivables for which the Depositor is the Owner, the Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor such accountings relating to such Receivables and the actions of the Servicer with respect thereto as the Depositor may reasonably request.
Review of Servicer’s Records The Servicer will maintain records and documents relating to its performance under this Agreement according to its customary business practices. On reasonable request not more than once during any year, the Servicer will give the Issuer, the Depositor, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (or their representatives) access to the records and documents to conduct a review of the Servicer’s performance under this Agreement. Any access or review will be conducted at the Servicer’s offices during its normal business hours at a time reasonably convenient to the Servicer and in a manner that will minimize disruption to its business operations. Any access or review will be subject to the Servicer’s confidentiality and privacy policies.
