The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the date such Serviced Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Serviced Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Serviced Loan, which shall occur upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the Servicing File. With respect to each such Serviced Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to continue to remit all payments in respect of such Serviced Loan to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Mortgagor of such a Specially Serviced Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the related Mortgagor. Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Loan has become a Corrected Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the related Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event with respect to the related Mortgage Loan) 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 and, upon giving such notice and the return of the Servicing File to the Master Servicer, such Serviced Loan shall cease to be a Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with the first proviso of the definition of Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Serviced Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Serviced Loan as a Serviced Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan shall resume. In addition, if the related Mortgagor has been instructed, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, to make payments to the Special Servicer, upon such determination, the Special Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to remit all payments in respect of such Specially Serviced Loan directly to the Master Servicer.
Effect of Servicing Transfer (a) After a transfer of servicing hereunder, the successor Servicer shall notify the Obligors to make directly to the successor Servicer payments that are due under the Receivables after the effective date of such transfer.
