Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements For so long as the Trust or any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, shall (i) cause each Sub-Servicing Agreement (with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or sub-servicing agreement (with respect to any other Servicer) to which it is a party to entitle the Depositor to terminate such agreement (without compensation, termination fee or the consent of any other Person) at any time following any failure of the applicable Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article X and (ii) promptly notify the Depositor following any failure of the applicable Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article X. The Depositor is hereby authorized to exercise the rights described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence in its sole discretion. The rights of the Depositor to terminate a Sub-Servicing Agreement (with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or sub-servicing agreement (with respect to any other Servicer) as aforesaid shall not limit any right Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may have to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement or sub-servicing agreement, as applicable.
Assumption of Servicing Agreement by Trustee (a) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement), after a period not to exceed ninety days after the issuance of any notice of termination pursuant to Section 6.14 or Section 9.28, as applicable, the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 6.14, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under each Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein and therein to the same extent as if such Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer under such Servicing Agreement accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee’s assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not indemnify or hold harmless the Trustee against negligent or willful misconduct of the Trustee.
(b) The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.
Termination of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers (a) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, the Master Servicer shall either act as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by a successor Servicer to be appointed as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may be a transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of servicing to a successor Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from each Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer or all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data, as may be required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.
(b) If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Servicer in the related Servicing Agreement, and in the event of any such assumption by the successor Servicer, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and warranties.
(c) If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable. To the extent that the Master Servicer is unable to find a successor Servicer that is willing to service the Mortgage Loans for the Servicing Fee because of the obligation of the Servicer to make Advances regardless of whether such Advance is recoverable, the applicable Servicing Agreement may be amended to provide that the successor Servicer shall have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable and provides an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Master Servicer and the Trustee.
Subservicing Agreements and Successor Subservicer (a) The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements for any servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans with any institution which (i) is an approved Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac Seller/Servicer and (ii) which represents and warrants that it is in compliance with the laws of each state as necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such subservicing agreement. For this purpose, subservicing shall not be deemed to include outsourcing routine tasks to third parties including, but not limited to, taxes, insurance, property inspection, reconveyance, collection or brokering REO Property. The Servicer shall give prior written notice to the Master Servicer and the Trustee of the appointment of any subservicer and shall furnish to the Master Servicer a copy of such subservicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans immediately upon receipt by any subservicer of such payments. Any such subservicing agreement shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. Each subservicing agreement shall provide that a successor servicer shall have the option to terminate such agreement without payment of any fees if the predecessor servicer is terminated or resigns.
(b) The Servicer may terminate any subservicing agreement to which it is a party in accordance with the terms and conditions of such subservicing agreement and either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a subservicing agreement with a successor subservicer that qualifies under Section 7.04(a).
(c) Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement or the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or reference to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume (or cause its designee or the successor master servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 to assume) all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 6.07. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 6.07, to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub- Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
Successor Sub-Servicers The Master Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub- Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 6.06. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Master Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).
Sub-Servicing Agreements (a) The Master Servicer and Special Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder; provided that the Sub-Servicing Agreement as amended or modified: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.22(g) hereof); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder (if applicable) and the Trustee (as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Senior Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or any Certificateholder (or the related Companion Holder, if applicable) shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, however, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only be terminated by the Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.22(g) hereof and in such additional manner and by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust Fund; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to modify any Mortgage Loan unless and to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan and (vii) provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) if the Sub-Servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the Master Servicer under Article XI or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the master servicer under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to, or (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in the Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required for any party to this Agreement to perform its obligations under Article XI or under the Exchange Act reporting items required under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to. Any successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, hereunder shall, upon becoming successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, be assigned and shall assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (subject to Section 3.22(g) hereof). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer may but need not provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder shall terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) that the Sub-Servicer will continue to make all Advances and calculations and prepare all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and continue to collect its Primary Servicing Fees as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it, in each case promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee and the Depositor in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that the Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.
(b) Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of the related Mortgage Loans or the compliance with its obligations under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust Fund) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of Article XI hereof. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it in accordance with the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.
(d) In the event the Trustee or its designee becomes successor master servicer and assumes the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the Companion Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.22, except to the extent provided in Article XI with respect to the obligations of any Sub-Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder and the Certificateholders for the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible, and the Master Servicer shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder as and when due from its own funds. In no event shall the Trust Fund bear any termination fee required to be paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of such Sub-Servicer’s termination under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.
(f) The Trustee, upon the request of the Master Servicer, shall furnish to any Sub-Servicer any documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Sub-Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.
(g) Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that, in the event the Trustee or any other Person becomes successor master servicer, the Trustee or such successor master servicer shall have the right to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with or without cause and without a fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision in this Agreement, the Trustee and any successor master servicer shall assume each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement and (i) the Initial Sub-Servicer’s rights and obligations under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the Master Servicer’s servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions; (ii) any successor master servicer, including, without limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically assume and agree to the then-current Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement without further action upon becoming the successor master servicer and (iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner which would increase the obligations or limit the rights of the Initial Sub-Servicer hereunder and/or under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Initial Sub-Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(h) With respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall, upon request (such request to be made reasonably in advance as appropriate to the circumstances surrounding such request) of the related Sub-Servicer, reasonably cooperate in delivering reports and information, including remittance information, and affording access to information to the related Sub-Servicer that would be required to be delivered or afforded, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement which provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations herein, without, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Sub-Servicer shall be permitted under any Sub-Servicing Agreement to make material servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Mortgage Loan documents, without the consent of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.
Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by Trustee (a) If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master servicer (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee, its designee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that may have been entered into. The Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to the Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if the Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreement.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.
Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates. The Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement that meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mxxxxxxx servicex. Xxxh Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights shall not be required (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect in a Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provisions of a Sub- Servicing Agreement, or (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under a Sub-Servicing Agreement, which, in each case, shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and of the Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement against the Originator shall be effected by the Master Servicer to the extent it is not the Originator, and otherwise by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.
Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers, which may be Affiliates of the Servicer, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangement contemplated hereunder. The Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement. No such acknowledgment shall be deemed to imply that the Trustee has consented to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement, has passed upon whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement or has passed upon whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement is otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub- Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub- Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement.
