ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER Section 9.01 Duties of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s Obligations.
(a) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders shall monitor the performance of the Servicers under the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, and shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Servicers duly and punctually to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder. Upon the occurrence of a default of which an Authorized Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge under a Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer is taking in respect of such default. So long as any such default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer may, and shall if it determines such action to be in the best interests of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement against such Servicer; and/or (iii) waive any such default under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Purchase and Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall have no duty or obligation to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of, or to enforce the obligations of, a Servicer under its Purchase and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Additional Collateral or any Limited Purpose Surety Bond relating thereto, including, without limitation, the collection of any amounts owing to the Trust Fund in respect thereof (unless and until the Master Servicer shall have assumed the obligations of such Servicer as successor servicer under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01, in which case, as successor servicer, it shall be bound to serve and administer the Additional Collateral and any related Limited Purpose Surety Bond in accordance with the provisions of the such Purchase and Servicing Agreement).
(b) Upon any termination by the Master Servicer of a Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the rights and powers of such Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall vest in the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to such Servicer in its capacity as Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, unless or until the Master Servicer shall have appointed, with the consent of the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, a new Xxxxxx Xxx- or FHLMC-approved Person to serve as successor to the Servicer; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to a successor servicer (including the Master Servicer). With such consent, the Master Servicer may elect to continue to serve as successor servicer under the Purchase and Servicing Agreement. Upon appointment of a successor servicer, as authorized under this Section 9.01(b), unless the successor servicer shall have assumed the obligations of the terminated Servicer under such Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee and such successor servicer shall enter into a servicing agreement in a form substantially similar to the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such appointment, the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor servicer as it and such successor servicer shall agree, but in no event shall such compensation of any successor servicer (including the Master Servicer) be in excess of that payable to the Servicer under the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement (including the termination of a Servicer, the appointment of a successor servicer or the transfer and assumption of the servicing by the Master Servicer) at its own expense and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) by the terminated Servicer, (ii) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (iii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorney’s fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, or (iv) to the extent that such amounts described in (i)-(iii) above are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for such costs of enforcement, from the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 9.04. If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of any Servicer it replaces or for the errors or omissions of such Servicer.
(c) Upon any termination of a Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, specifying in such notice that the Master Servicer or any successor servicer, as the case may be, has succeeded such Servicer under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, which notice shall also specify the name and address of any such successor servicer.
(d) Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall consent to the assignment by any Servicer of such Servicer’s rights and obligations under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Administration and Servicing of Contracts 43 SECTION 3.01
Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds (which, for the purpose of this Section, includes any Subsequent Recoveries), and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund 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 Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Master Servicer 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, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master 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 the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Master 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 shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master 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, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, 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.
Monthly Advances by the Servicer Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of Monthly Payments, adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which are delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided, however, that the amount of any such deposit may be reduced by the Amount Held for Future Distribution (as defined below) then on deposit in the Custodial Account. Any portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution used to pay Monthly Advances shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit into the Custodial Account on any future Remittance Date to the extent that the funds that are available in the Custodial Account for remittance to the Owner on such Remittance Date are less than the amount of payments required to be made to the Owner on such Remittance Date. The "Amount Held for Future Distribution" as to any Remittance Date shall be the total of the amounts held in the Custodial Account at the close of business on the preceding Determination Date which were received after the Cut-off Date on account of (i) Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, and Principal Prepayments received or made in the month of such Remittance Date, and (ii) payments which represent early receipt of scheduled payments of principal and interest due on a date or dates subsequent to the related Due Date. The Servicer's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the final disposition or liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless the Servicer deems such advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan. In such latter event, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer has reviewed the related Servicing File and has obtained a recent appraisal and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable from Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.
Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments Continuously from the Closing Date or Servicing Transfer Date, as applicable, until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and each related Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
