Servicer Expenses The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Certificateholders and Noteholders.
Allocations of Finance Charge Collections The Servicer shall allocate to the Series 1997-1 Certificateholders and retain in the Collection Account for application as provided herein an amount equal to the product of (A) the Floating Allocation Percentage and (B) the Series 1997-1 Allocation Percentage and (C) the aggregate amount of Collections of Finance Charge Receivables deposited in the Collection Account on such Deposit Date.
Payments on Receivables, Collection Accounts The Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) will, and will cause each Originator to, at all times, instruct all Obligors to deliver payments on the Pool Receivables to a Collection Account or a Lock-Box. The Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) will, and will cause each Originator to, at all times, maintain such books and records necessary to identify Collections received from time to time on Pool Receivables and to segregate such Collections from other property of the Servicer and the Originators. If any payments on the Pool Receivables or other Collections are received by the Borrower, the Servicer or an Originator, it shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and promptly remit such funds into a Collection Account; provided, however, that (x) no less than 98.0% of such payments received shall be remitted to a Collection Account within one (1) Business Day after becoming aware of such receipt and (y) no more than 2.0% of such payments received shall be remitted to a Collection Account within five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of such receipt. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no funds other than Collections on Pool Receivables and other Collateral are deposited into any Collection Account. If such funds are nevertheless deposited into any Collection Account, the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) will within two (2) Business Days identify and transfer such funds to the appropriate Person entitled to such funds. The Borrower will not, and will not permit the Servicer, any Originator or any other Person to commingle Collections or other funds to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party is entitled, with any other funds. The Borrower shall only add a Collection Account (or a related Lock-Box) or a Collection Account Bank to those listed on Schedule II to this Agreement, if the Administrative Agent has received notice of such addition and an executed and acknowledged copy of an Account Control Agreement (or an amendment thereto) from the applicable Collection Account Bank. The Borrower shall only terminate a Collection Account Bank or close a Collection Account (or a related Lock-Box) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
Servicing Advances The Master Servicer and, if the Master Servicer does not, the Trustee to the extent the Trustee receives written notice from the Certificate Administrator that such Advance has not been made by the Master Servicer, shall make Servicing Advances to the extent provided in this Agreement, except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee as applicable, determines in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, except to the extent the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard and Section 4.4 that such Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, in which event the Special Servicer shall promptly direct the Master Servicer not to make such Advance; provided that the Special Servicer has no obligation to make such determination. Such determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Certificateholders and, in the case of any B Note, the holder of the related B Note and, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be required to make Servicing Advances under this Agreement but may make such Servicing Advances (on an emergency basis) at its option in which event the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Servicing Advance (together with Advance Interest) promptly (but no later than five (5) days) following receipt of a statement therefor. Promptly after discovering that the Master Servicer has failed to make a Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer is required to make hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Trustee (if the Certificate Administrator is not also the Trustee) in writing of the failure by the Master Servicer to make such Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer may make Servicing Advances in its own discretion if it determines that making such Servicing Advance is in the best interest of the Certificateholders, as a collective whole (and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan, in the best interest of the holder of the related B Note and the Trust as a collective whole and, in the case of any Loan Pair, in the best interest of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan and the Trust as a collective whole), even if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer is obligated to make Servicing Advances pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation or authority to make Servicing Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
No Servicer Advances The Servicer shall not make any advances of interest on or principal of the Recovery Bonds.
Master Servicer Collection Account (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer Collection Account as a segregated trust account or accounts. The Master Servicer Collection Account may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account. The Master Servicer will deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account as identified by the Master Servicer and as received by the Master Servicer, the following amounts:
(i) Any amounts withdrawn from a Protected Account or other permitted account;
(ii) Any Monthly Advance and any Compensating Interest Payments;
(iii) Any Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or which were not deposited in a Protected Account or other permitted account;
(iv) The repurchase price with respect to any Mortgage Loans repurchased and all proceeds of any Mortgage Loans or property acquired in connection with the optional termination of the trust;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited with respect to losses on investments of deposits in an Account; and
(vi) Any other amounts received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer and required to be deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) All amounts deposited to the Master Servicer Collection Account shall be held by the Master Servicer in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The requirements for crediting the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of (i) prepayment or late payment charges or assumption, tax service, statement account or payoff, substitution, satisfaction, release and other like fees and charges and (ii) the items enumerated in Subsections 4.05(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (xi) and (xii) with respect to the Securities Administrator, need not be credited by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer to the Distribution Account or the Master Servicer Collection Account, as applicable. In the event that the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited to the Distribution Account any amount not required to be credited thereto, the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of a written request therefor signed by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, shall promptly transfer such amount to the Master Servicer from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) The amount at any time credited to the Master Servicer Collection Account shall be invested, in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in Permitted Investments as directed by Master Servicer. All Permitted Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, the next succeeding Distribution Account Deposit Date. Any and all investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account from time to time shall be for the account of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer from time to time shall be permitted to withdraw or receive distribution of any and all investment earnings from the Master Servicer Collection Account. The risk of loss of moneys required to be distributed to the Certificateholders resulting from such investments shall be borne by and be the risk of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deposit the amount of any such loss in the Master Servicer Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt of notification of such loss but not later than the second Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which the moneys so invested are required to be distributed to the Certificateholders.
P&I Advances (a) On or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) deposit into the Distribution Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Certificate Account for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances, or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made; provided that if Late Collections of any of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which it is to make P&I Advances on any Master Servicer Remittance Date are then on deposit in the Certificate Account, the Master Servicer shall use such Late Collections (net of any Master Servicing Fees and Workout Fees payable therefrom) to make such P&I Advances. Any amounts held in the Certificate Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances (other than the Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest contemplated by the proviso to the preceding sentence) shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on or before the next succeeding Determination Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). If, as of 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall not have made any P&I Advance required to be made on such date pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) (and shall not have delivered to the Trustee the requisite Officer's Certificate and documentation related to a determination of nonrecoverability of a P&I Advance), then the Trustee shall provide notice of such failure to a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer by facsimile transmission sent to telecopy no. (____) ____-______ (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in writing) and by telephone at telephone no. (____) ___-____ (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in writing) as soon as possible, but in any event before 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Master Servicer Remittance Date. If, after such notice, the Trustee does not receive the full amount of such P&I Advances by the close of business (New York City time) on such Master Servicer Remittance Date, then (i) unless the Trustee determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance if made, the Trustee shall make the portion of such P&I Advances that was required to be, but was not, made by the Master Servicer on such Master Servicer Remittance Date and (ii) such failure shall constitute an Event of Default on the part of the Master Servicer.
(b) The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, Balloon Mortgage Loans delinquent as to their respective Balloon Payments) and any REO Loans for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to subsection (c) below, the aggregate of all Monthly Payments (other than Balloon Payments) and any Assumed Monthly Payments, in each case net of related Master Servicing Fees and Workout Fees payable hereunder, that were due or deemed due, as the case may be, in respect thereof on their respective Due Dates during the related Collection Period and that were not paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagors or otherwise collected as of the close of business on the last day of the related Collection Period; provided that, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to any Required Appraisal Loan, then, in the event of subsequent delinquencies thereon, the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (i) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance for such Required Appraisal Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this proviso, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. In addition, Nonrecoverable P&I Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.05(a) out of general collections on the Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Certificate Account. The determination by the Master Servicer or, if applicable, the Trustee, that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered promptly (and, in any event, in the case of a proposed P&I Advance by the Master Servicer, no less than 5 Business Days prior to the related Master Servicer Remittance Date) to the Trustee (or, if applicable, retained thereby), the Depositor and the Rating Agencies, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with ( such determination is prior to the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property) a copy of an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be, which shall have been performed within the twelve months preceding such determination, and further accompanied by any other information that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may have obtained and that supports such determination. The Trustee shall deliver such Officer's Certificate as soon as practicable after its determination that such P&I Advance would be nonrecoverable. If such an Appraisal shall not have been required and performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may, subject to its reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the Trust. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to a particular P&I Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Special Servicer with respect to a particular P&I Advance.
(d) As and to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each P&I Advance made thereby (out of its own funds) for so long as such P&I Advance is outstanding (or, in the case of Advance Interest payable to the Master Servicer, if earlier, until the Late Collection of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advance was made has been received by the Master Servicer or any of its Sub-Servicers), and such interest will be paid: first, out of any Default Charges collected on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan during, and allocable to, the period, if any, that it was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an REO Loan; and second, at any time coinciding with or following the reimbursement of such P&I Advance, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Certificate Account. As and to the extent provided by Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer shall reimburse itself or the Trustee, as appropriate, for any P&I Advance made thereby as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Certificate Account, and in no event shall interest accrue in accordance with this Section 4.03(d) on any P&I Advance as to which the corresponding Late Collection had been received as of the related date on which such P&I Advance was made.
Monthly Advances by Servicer On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or from amounts held for future distribution, or both, an amount equal to all Monthly Payments (in the case of Simple Interest Mortgage Loans, solely the portion of the Monthly Payment attributable to interest) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were Delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than remittances to the Master Servicer required to be made on such Remittance Date. The Servicer shall keep appropriate records of such amounts and will provide such records to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer upon request. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the Servicer’s right to (i) pass through late collections on the related Mortgage Loans in lieu of making Monthly Advances or (ii) reimburse itself for such Monthly Advances from late collections on the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan unless the Servicer deems such Monthly Advance to be non-recoverable, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Master Servicer.
Accounts Collection At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
Collection Account (a) On behalf of the Trustee, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more segregated Eligible Accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. On behalf of the Trustee, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit into the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds to the extent such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds are not to be applied to the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or released to the related Mortgagor in accordance with the express requirements of law or in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.13(a) in respect of any blanket policy deductibles;
(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with this Agreement; and
(vii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and shall, upon collection, belong to the Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof.
