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.
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.
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 as indicated in writing, (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 and (iii) which is acceptable to the NIMS Insurer. For this purpose, subservicing shall not be deemed to include the use of a tax service, or services for reconveyance, insurance or brokering REO Property or the retention of third party contractors to perform certain servicing and loan administration functions, including without limitation, hazard insurance administration, tax payment and administration, flood certification and administration, collection services and similar functions. The Servicer shall give prior written notice to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer of the appointment of any subservicer and shall furnish to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer 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 acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and 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.
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) Each of the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable 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 (A) in each case, the Sub-Servicing Agreement (as it may be amended or modified from time to time): (i) insofar as it affects the Trust, is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects; (ii) expressly or effectively provides that if the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), any successor to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder (including the Trustee if the Trustee has become such successor pursuant to Section 7.02) may thereupon either assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, under such agreement or, other than in the case of any Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement, terminate such rights and obligations without payment of any fee; (iii) prohibits the Sub-Servicer (other than a Designated Sub-Servicer) from modifying any Mortgage Loan or commencing any foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to any Mortgaged Property without the consent of the applicable Master Servicer and, further, prohibits the Sub-Servicer from taking any action that the applicable Master Servicer would be prohibited from taking hereunder; (iv) if it is entered into by the applicable Master Servicer, does not purport to delegate or effectively delegate to the related Sub-Servicer any of the rights or obligations of the applicable Special Servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or otherwise; (v) provides that the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement related to a Serviced Loan Combination, also for the benefit of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), shall be a third party beneficiary under such agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trustee, any successor to the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any Certificateholder (or, in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement related to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) shall have any duties under such agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom except as explicitly permitted by subsection (k) of this Section 3.22 or otherwise herein; (vi) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan without cause and without payment of any termination fee; (vii) does not permit the subject Sub-Servicer any rights of indemnification out of the Trust Fund except through the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03; (viii) does not impose any liability or indemnification obligation whatsoever on the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect to anything contained therein; (ix) provides that, following receipt of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide a copy of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the related Sub-Servicer, and that such Sub-Servicer shall notify the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, in writing within five (5) Business Days after such Sub-Servicer discovers (without implying that the Sub-Servicer has a duty to make or attempt to make such discovery) a Document Defect or discovers (without implying that the Sub-Servicer has a duty to make or attempt to make such discovery) or receives notice of a Breach or receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, in each case with respect to a Mortgage Loan being sub-serviced by such Sub-Servicer; and (x) if the subject Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, provides that (y) the failure of such Sub-Servicer to comply with any of the requirements under Article XI of this Agreement applicable to such Sub-Servicer, including the failure to deliver any reports, certificates or disclosure information under the Exchange Act or under the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act, at the time such report, certification or information is required under Article XI and (z) the failure of such Sub-Servicer (other than with respect to Prudential Asset Resources, Inc. as the Primary Servicer under the Primary Servicing Agreement) to comply with any requirements to deliver any items required by Items 1122 and 1123 of Regulation AB under any other pooling and servicing agreement relating to any other series of certificates for which the Depositor or an Affiliate is the depositor shall constitute an event of default or servicer termination event on the part of such Sub-Servicer upon the occurrence of which the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, and the Depositor shall be entitled to immediately terminate the related Sub-Servicer, which termination shall be deemed for cause; and (B) at the time the Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, the subject Sub-Servicer (other than a Designated Sub-Servicer in connection with a Sub-Servicing Agreement executed as of the Closing Date) is not a Prohibited Party unless (in the case of this clause (B)) the appointment of such Person as a Sub-Servicer has been expressly approved by the Depositor acting in its reasonable discretion.
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.
Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with SubServicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and for the performance of any and all other activities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Each Sub-Servicer shall be either (i) an institution the accounts of which are insured by the FDIC or (ii) another entity that engages in the business of originating or servicing mortgage loans, and in either case 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 enable the SubServicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a FHLMC or FNMA approved mortgage servicer. Each 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. With the consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements 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 51% of the Voting Rights. Notwithstanding any inconsistent or contrary provision of this Agreement, neither any Interim Subservicer nor any Interim Servicing Agreement shall be subject to the foregoing provisions during the Interim Servicing Period for any related Mortgage Loan.
Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by the Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be precluded from selling all or part of the Servicing Fee relating to any Mortgage Loans to any Sub-Servicer, provided that with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer sells all or a part of the related Servicing Fee, the Master Servicer shall retain full responsibility under this Agreement for the servicing activities relating to such Mortgage Loan. Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) 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 enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts of which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Fxxxxxx Mac or Fxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each 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. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.
