Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by the Servicer The Seller has entered into this Agreement with the Servicer in reliance upon the independent status of the Servicer, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Servicer shall neither assign its rights under this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Seller (as owner of the servicing rights relating to the Mortgage Loans) and the Master Servicer, which consent, in the case of an assignment of rights or delegation of duties, shall be granted or withheld in the discretion of the Seller and the Master Servicer, and which consent, in the case of a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Servicer, shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that in each case, there must be delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing or sale or disposition of assets will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer, without the consent of the Seller (as owner of the servicing rights relating to the Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer or the Trustee, may retain 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; provided, that the retention of such contractors by Servicer shall not limit the obligation of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Master Servicer or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 9.01. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 7.03, in the event that the Servicer either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written consent of the Seller, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, then the Seller, the Trustee or the Master Servicer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 8.01, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer or any third party.
Assignment by the Depositor or the Servicer Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Sections 6.04 and 7.03 herein and as provided in the provisions of this Agreement concerning the resignation of the Servicer, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Depositor or the Servicer.
Assignment by the Seller or the Servicer Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Sections 6.04 and 7.03 of this Agreement and as provided in the provisions of this Agreement concerning the resignation or termination of the Servicer, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Seller or the Servicer.
Assignment by the Seller The Seller shall assign (exclusive of the Seller’s rights arising under Section 8.02(iii) and 8.03), its interest under this Agreement to the Depositor, which in turn shall assign such rights to the Trustee, and the Trustee then shall succeed to all rights of the Seller under this Agreement.
Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by Servicer The Owner has entered into this Agreement with the Servicer and subsequent Owners will purchase the Mortgage Loans in reliance upon the independent status of the Servicer, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Servicer shall neither assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof (to other than a third party in the case of outsourcing routine tasks such as taxes, insurance and property inspection, in which case the Servicer shall be fully liable for such tasks as if the Servicer performed them itself) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without the prior written consent of the Owner, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the reasonable discretion of the Owner, provided, however, that the Servicer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder without prior written consent of the Owner to any entity that is directly owned or controlled by the Servicer, and the Servicer guarantees the performance of such entity hereunder. In the event of such assignment by the Servicer, the Servicer shall provide the Owner with a written statement guaranteeing the successor entity's performance of the Servicer's obligations under the Agreement. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Owner. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 10.01. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.03, in the event that the Servicer either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof (to other than a third party in the case of outsourcing routine tasks such as taxes, insurance and property inspection, in which case the Servicer shall be fully liable for such tasks as if the Servicer performed them itself) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written consent of the Owner, then the Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 9.01 without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer or any third party.
Assignment by the Company The rights, interests or obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior written consent of the Investor.
Advances by the Servicer If, on any Determination Date, the Servicer determines that any Monthly Payments due on the immediately preceding Due Date have not been received, the Servicer shall, unless it determines in its sole discretion that such amounts will not be recoverable from Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise, make an Advance on or before the related Distribution Date in an amount equal to the amount of such delinquent Monthly Payments, after adjustment of any delinquent interest payment for the Servicing Fee. For purposes of this Section 6.03, the delinquent Monthly Payments referred to in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to include an amount equal to the Monthly Payments that would have been due on Mortgage Loans which have been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and in connection with which the Servicer acquired and continues to own the Mortgaged Properties on behalf of the Certificateholders. If the Servicer makes an Advance, it shall on or prior to such Distribution Date either (i) deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 6.03, used by the Servicer to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any funds being held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders and so used pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above shall be replaced by the Servicer from its own funds by deposit into the Collection Account on or before any subsequent Distribution Date to the extent that funds in the Collection Account on such Distribution Date shall be less than the amount of payments required to be made to Certificateholders on such Distribution Date. Any such Advance shall be included with the distribution to the Certificateholders on the related Distribution Date. If the Servicer determines not to make a Nonrecoverable Advance, it shall on the related Determination Date furnish to the Trustee, any co-trustee, and each Rating Agency notice of such determination. The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances as provided in Section 5.09.
Successor to the Servicer Simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 6.02, 7.03, 8.03, 9.01 or 9.02, the Owner shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 8.01 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Owner may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree, provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under this Agreement without the consent of the Owner. In the event that the Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 10.01 and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 6.01 and the remedies available to the Owner under Section 6.02 and 7.03, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 7.03 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement. Within 30 days of the appointment of a successor entity by the Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Servicing Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement of the Mortgage Notes and related documents, and the preparation and recordation of Assignments of Mortgage, at the discretion of the Owner and, at the Owner's sole expense. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder and the transfer of servicing responsibilities to the successor servicer, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to the Owner an instrument accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.01, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 6.02, 7.03, 8.03, 9.01 or 9.02 shall not affect any claims that the Owner may have against the Servicer arising out of the Servicer's actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation. The Servicer shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Mortgage Loan documents and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer. Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify by mail the Owner of such appointment in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.07.
Resignation of the Servicer The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law or (b) upon the assumption, by an agreement supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Transferors and the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Transferors and the Trustee, of the obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder by any of its Affiliates or by any other entity the appointment of which shall have satisfied the Rating Agency Condition and, in either case, qualifies as an Eligible Servicer. Any determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (a) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Transferors. No resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 10.02 hereof. If within 120 days of the date of the determination that the Servicer may no longer act as Servicer under clause (a) above the Trustee is unable to appoint a Successor Servicer, the Trustee shall serve as Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall, if it is legally unable so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the resigning Servicer to appoint any established institution qualifying as an Eligible Servicer as the Successor Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to each Rating Agency and each Series Enhancer upon the appointment of a Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, TRS or Centurion Bank, as Servicer, may assign part or all of its obligations and duties as Servicer under this Agreement to an Affiliate of TRS so long as TRS or Centurion Bank, as the case may be, shall have fully guaranteed the performance of such obligations and duties under this Agreement and such assignment will not constitute a resignation.
Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may resign, assign its respective rights and delegate its respective duties and obligations under this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the other such party, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website for review by Privileged Persons in accordance with Section 4.02(a)), the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider; provided that, with respect to any of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer: (i) the successor accepting such assignment and delegation (A) shall be an established mortgage finance entity, bank or other entity regularly engaged in the servicing of commercial mortgage loans, organized and doing business under the laws of any state of the United States, the District of Columbia or the United States, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of a servicer of mortgage loans or a Person resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession that is permitted under Section 6.02 of this Agreement and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, under the related Co-Lender Agreement and (B) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation; (iii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation under this Section 6.04; (iv) the rate at which the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect; (v) for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the successor Special Servicer is acceptable to the Controlling Class Representative (and, if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is affected, the successor Special Servicer is acceptable to the related Outside Controlling Note Holder); (vi) the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party hereto, the Trust and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer; (vii) none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of their Affiliates shall in any event be appointed as successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer; and (viii) none of the Third Party Purchaser or any of its Risk Retention Affiliates shall in any event be appointed as successor Master Servicer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall be the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder.
