Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may elect to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and other obligations of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether and how to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon the written advice or an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney‑in‑fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required to be executed pursuant to this Section 3.05.

No additional interest shall accrue on the Certificates after the Regular Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be). In the event that any money held by the Trustee for the payment of distributions on the Certificates shall remain unclaimed for two years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied, after sixty days' notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period provided under applicable law) after the final distribution date with respect thereto, the Trustee shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate amount of money relating to such Loan Trustee and shall give written notice thereof to the related Owner Trustees and the Company.

Administration of the Mortgage Loans (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of the Trustee, and in the best interests and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in accordance with any and all applicable laws and the terms of this Agreement, the Insurance Policies and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to Section 3.21, (i) the Master Servicer shall service and administer all Mortgage Loans as to which no Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and all Corrected Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the Special Servicer shall service and administer (x) each Mortgage Loan (other than a Corrected Mortgage Loan) as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred, and (y) each REO Property; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to collect information and prepare all reports to the Trustee required hereunder with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (and the related REO Loans), and further to render such incidental services with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for herein.
(b) Subject to Section 3.01(a), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, in its own name, with respect to each of the Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard and subject to Sections 3.08 and 3.20, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; and (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall, at the written request of a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, furnish, or cause to be so furnished, to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, any limited powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable them to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.
(c) The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer 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.
(d) In the event that any two or more Mortgage Loans are cross-collateralized with each other, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall service and administer such Mortgage Loans as a single Mortgage Loan as and when it deems necessary and appropriate, consistent with the Servicing Standard. If any Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then each other Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized with it shall also become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Similarly, no Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan shall subsequently become a Corrected Mortgage Loan, unless and until all Servicing Transfer Events in respect of each other Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized with it, are remediated or otherwise addressed as contemplated in the definition of "Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan".
Administration of Buydown Funds (a) With respect to any Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer has deposited Buydown Funds in an account that satisfies the requirements for a Subservicing Account (the "Buydown Account"). The Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicing Agreement to require that upon receipt from the Mortgagor of the amount due on a Due Date for each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer will withdraw from the Buydown Account the predetermined amount that, when added to the amount due on such date from the Mortgagor, equals the full Monthly Payment and transmit that amount in accordance with the terms of the Subservicing Agreement to the Master Servicer together with the related payment made by the Mortgagor or advanced by the Subservicer.
(b) If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such loan in its entirety during the period (the "Buydown Period") when Buydown Funds are required to be applied to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer shall be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account and remit any Buydown Funds remaining in the Buydown Account in accordance with the related buydown agreement. The amount of Buydown Funds which may be remitted in accordance with the related buydown agreement may reduce the amount required to be paid by the Mortgagor to fully prepay the related Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period and the property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation thereof (either by the Master Servicer or the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy), the Subservicer shall be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account the Buydown Funds for such Buydown Mortgage Loan still held in the Buydown Account and remit the same to the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Subservicing Agreement for deposit in the Custodial Account or, if instructed by the Master Servicer, pay to the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy if the Mortgaged Property is transferred to such insurer and such insurer pays all of the loss incurred in respect of such default. Any amount so remitted pursuant to the preceding sentence will be deemed to reduce the amount owed on the Mortgage Loan.
