Servicing Fees The Trust or NSLF, if applicable, shall pay to the Master Servicer, on or before the 25th day of each month, or within fifteen (15) days of billing statement (which may be sent either by the Master Servicer or Nelnet or the Subservicers), for and in consideration of the services performed by the Master Servicer and Subservicers hereunder for the preceding month, the fee provided for in Schedule A of this Agreement ("Servicing Fee"). In the event Servicing Fees are not paid within thirty (30) days of the billing statement, the Master Servicer will have the following rights to (a) impose a late charge of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month against the entire outstanding balance of the past due Servicing Fee including any prior late charge; and (b) terminate services without notice if nonpayment persists for sixty (60) days from billing or more. The Servicing Fee due from the Trust and related charges shall be paid only from the Trust Estate and only to the extent moneys are available as provided for under the terms of the Indenture.
Servicing Fee On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall pay to the Servicer the Servicing Fee in accordance with Section 4.4 for the immediately preceding Collection Period as compensation for its services. In addition, the Servicer will be entitled to retain all Supplemental Servicing Fees. The Servicer also will be entitled to receive investment earnings (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account during each Collection Period.
Master Servicing Fee Rate The rate used to calculate the Master Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan is 0.017% per annum.
Master Servicing Compensation As compensation for its activities as Master Servicer hereunder and as a subservicer pursuant to the Servicing Rights Transfer and Subservicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Master Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan, provided that the aggregate Master Servicing Fee with respect to any Distribution Date shall be reduced (i) by the amount of any Compensating Interest paid by the Master Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date, and (ii) with respect to the first Distribution Date, an amount equal to any amount to be deposited into the Distribution Account by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and not so deposited. Additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) Excess Proceeds, Prepayment Interest Excess and all income and gain net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments and (ii) prepayment penalties, assumption fees and late payment charges in each case under the circumstances and in the manner set forth in the applicable Mortgage Note or Mortgage shall be retained by the Master Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its master servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance and any Primary Insurance Policy and maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage required by this Agreement) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in this Agreement.
Servicer Fee The Servicer, including any successor Servicer, shall be entitled to payment of the Servicing Fee as defined herein, which shall be payable in accordance with Section 5.08(a) hereof. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent be responsible for the Servicing Fee or for any differential between the Servicing Fee and the amount necessary to induce a successor Servicer to assume the obligations of Servicer hereunder.
Master Servicer Collection Account (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer Collection Account as a segregated trust account or accounts. The Master Servicer Collection Account may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account. The Master Servicer will deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account as identified by the Master Servicer and as received by the Master Servicer, the following amounts:
(i) Any amounts withdrawn from a Protected Account or other permitted account;
(ii) Any Monthly Advance and any Compensating Interest Payments;
(iii) Any Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or which were not deposited in a Protected Account or other permitted account;
(iv) The repurchase price with respect to any Mortgage Loans repurchased and all proceeds of any Mortgage Loans or property acquired in connection with the optional termination of the trust;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited with respect to losses on investments of deposits in an Account; and
(vi) Any other amounts received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer and required to be deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) All amounts deposited to the Master Servicer Collection Account shall be held by the Master Servicer in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The requirements for crediting the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of (i) prepayment or late payment charges or assumption, tax service, statement account or payoff, substitution, satisfaction, release and other like fees and charges and (ii) the items enumerated in Subsections 4.05(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (xi) and (xii) with respect to the Securities Administrator, need not be credited by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer to the Distribution Account or the Master Servicer Collection Account, as applicable. In the event that the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited to the Distribution Account any amount not required to be credited thereto, the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of a written request therefor signed by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, shall promptly transfer such amount to the Master Servicer from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) The amount at any time credited to the Master Servicer Collection Account shall be invested, in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in Permitted Investments as directed by Master Servicer. All Permitted Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, the next succeeding Distribution Account Deposit Date. Any and all investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account from time to time shall be for the account of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer from time to time shall be permitted to withdraw or receive distribution of any and all investment earnings from the Master Servicer Collection Account. The risk of loss of moneys required to be distributed to the Certificateholders resulting from such investments shall be borne by and be the risk of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deposit the amount of any such loss in the Master Servicer Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt of notification of such loss but not later than the second Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which the moneys so invested are required to be distributed to the Certificateholders.
Total Servicing Fee; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive out of the Collection Account the Base Servicing Fee and any Supplemental Servicing Fee for the related Collection Period (together, the “Servicing Fee”) pursuant to Section 5.7. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports made by the Servicer to the Noteholders and all other fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee; provided, however, the Servicer shall not be required to pay taxes levied or assessed against the Trust or claims against the Trust in respect of indemnification unless such taxes and claims are expressly stated to be for the account of GM Financial). The Servicer shall be liable for the fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Independent Accountants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer shall not be GM Financial, a successor to GM Financial as Servicer permitted by Section 9.3 shall not be liable for taxes levied or assessed against the Trust or claims against the Trust in respect of indemnification, or the fees and expenses referred to above.
Servicer Advances For each Settlement Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to a Loan included in the Collateral during such Settlement Period was not received prior to the end of such Settlement Period, the Servicer may, but shall not be obligated to, make an advance in an amount up to the amount of such delinquent Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) to the extent that the Servicer reasonably expects to be reimbursed for such advance; in addition, if on any day there are not sufficient funds on deposit in the Collection Account to pay accrued Interest on any Advance the Settlement Period of which ends on such day, the Servicer may make an advance in the amount necessary to pay such Interest (in either case, any such advance, a “Servicer Advance”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any Successor Servicer will not be obligated to make any Servicer Advances. The Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances into the Collection Account on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related Payment Date, in immediately available funds.
Servicing Advances The Master Servicer and, if the Master Servicer does not, the Trustee to the extent the Trustee receives written notice from the Certificate Administrator that such Advance has not been made by the Master Servicer, shall make Servicing Advances to the extent provided in this Agreement, except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee as applicable, determines in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, except to the extent the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard and Section 4.4 that such Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, in which event the Special Servicer shall promptly direct the Master Servicer not to make such Advance; provided that the Special Servicer has no obligation to make such determination. Such determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Certificateholders and, in the case of any B Note, the holder of the related B Note and, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be required to make Servicing Advances under this Agreement but may make such Servicing Advances (on an emergency basis) at its option in which event the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Servicing Advance (together with Advance Interest) promptly (but no later than five (5) days) following receipt of a statement therefor. Promptly after discovering that the Master Servicer has failed to make a Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer is required to make hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Trustee (if the Certificate Administrator is not also the Trustee) in writing of the failure by the Master Servicer to make such Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer may make Servicing Advances in its own discretion if it determines that making such Servicing Advance is in the best interest of the Certificateholders, as a collective whole (and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan, in the best interest of the holder of the related B Note and the Trust as a collective whole and, in the case of any Loan Pair, in the best interest of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan and the Trust as a collective whole), even if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer is obligated to make Servicing Advances pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation or authority to make Servicing Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
Sub-Servicing Accounts In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the related Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (each such account or accounts, a “Sub-Servicing Account”). Each Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. Each Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after such Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of the related Mortgage Loans received by such Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the related Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. Each Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the related Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the related Mortgage Loans when the related Sub-Servicer receives such payments.
