For purposes of effecting any such payment for which it is responsible, the Master Servicer shall apply Escrow Payments (at the direction of the Special Servicer for Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Loans) as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan or, if such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan does not require the related Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Master Servicer shall, as to all Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans, use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce the requirement of the related Mortgage that the Mortgagor make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due, and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items.

In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer and the Trustee with such information in its possession as the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, may reasonably request to enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to determine whether a requested Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination. On the fourth Business Day before each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer the Special Servicer's determination as to whether any Servicing Advance previously made with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination. If the Master Servicer is required under any provision of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, this Section 3.03(c)) to make a Servicing Advance, but does not do so within 15 days after such Advance is required to be made, the Trustee shall, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure on the part of the Master Servicer, give written notice of such failure to the Master Servicer. If such Servicing Advance is not made by the Master Servicer within three Business Days after such notice then (subject to a determination that such Servicing Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance. Any failure by the Master Servicer to make a Servicing Advance hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default by the Master Servicer subject to and as provided in Section 7.01. (d) In connection with its recovery of any Servicing Advance from the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Certificate Account, any unpaid interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, compounded annually, accrued on the amount of such Servicing Advance (to the extent made with its own funds) from the date made to but not including the date of reimbursement such interest to be payable, subject to the terms of a Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the related Loan Pair, first out of late payment charges and Penalty Interest received on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property during the Collection Period in which such reimbursement is made, and to the extent that such late payment charges and Penalty Interest are insufficient, but only after or at the same time the related Advance has been or is reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, then from general collections on the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Certificate Account. To the extent the Master Servicer receives late payment charges or Penalty Interest on a Mortgage Loan for which interest on Advances related to such Mortgage Loan has been paid from general collections on deposit in the Certificate Account during the preceding 12-month period and not previously reimbursed, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account, on or prior to the P&I Advance Date following the collection of such late payment charges or Penalty Interest, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of late payment charges or Penalty Interest received on such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the amount of interest paid to the Master Servicer on the related Servicing Advance for such Mortgage Loan during such 12-month period for which the Trust Fund has not been previously reimbursed. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself or the Trustee, as applicable, for any outstanding Servicing Advance made thereby as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose have been received by the Master Servicer, and in no event shall interest accrue in accordance with this Section 3.03(d) on any Servicing Advance as to which the corresponding Escrow Payment or other similar payment by the Mortgagor was received by the Master Servicer on or prior to the date the related Servicing Advance was made. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Trustee be entitled to reimbursement from funds on deposit in the Certificate Account for any Servicing Advance made with respect to any Companion Loan to the extent the related AB Mortgage Loan has been paid in full. (e) The determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be made in accordance with the Servicing Standard and shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee and the Depositor, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with a copy of any Appraisal (the cost of which may be paid out of the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)) of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be; which Appraisal shall be conducted pursuant to Section 3.09(a) by the Master Servicer, or by or on behalf of the Special Servicer if the Mortgage Loan is a defaulted Mortgage Loan or, if no such Appraisal has been performed, a copy of an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, performed within the twelve months preceding such determination and the party delivering such appraisal has no actual knowledge of a material adverse change in the condition of the related Mortgaged Property that would draw into question the applicability of such Appraisal, by an Independent Appraiser or other expert in real estate matters, and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property and any engineers' reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may have obtained and that support such determination. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that a Servicing Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer has failed to make a Servicing Advance for reasons other than a determination by the Master Servicer that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance within the time periods required by Section 3.03(c) unless the Trustee in good faith, makes a determination that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. (f) The Master Servicer shall, as to all Mortgage Loans and Companion Loans, establish and maintain, as applicable, one or more accounts (the "Reserve Accounts"), into which all Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deposited and retained. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited may be made (i) to pay for, or to reimburse the related Mortgagor in connection with, the related environmental remediation, repairs and/or capital improvements at the related Mortgaged Property if the repairs and/or capital improvements have been completed, and such withdrawals are made in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and any agreement with the related Mortgagor governing such Reserve Funds and any other items for which such Reserve Funds were intended pursuant to the loan documents and (ii) to pay the Master Servicer interest and investment income earned on amounts in the Reserve Accounts as described below if permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents.
