Pooling and Servicing Agreement (1) Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined herein and are defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS Section 3.01 The Master Servicer to act as Master Servicer.
Special Serviced Mortgage Loans If directed by the Special Servicer and solely at the Special Servicer’s option, each Servicer, other than WMMSC (a “Transferring Servicer”), shall transfer the servicing of any Mortgage Loan (other than a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan) 90 days or more delinquent to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Transferring Servicer, as Servicer, hereunder arising thereafter and the Transferring Servicer shall have no further rights or obligations, as Servicer, hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loan (except that the Special Servicer shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Transferring Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof or for any acts or omissions of the Transferring Servicer hereunder prior to the servicing transfer date, (ii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof or (iii) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Transferring Servicer hereunder). Upon the transfer of the servicing of any such Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and other compensation accruing after the servicing transfer date with respect to such Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.14. In connection with the transfer of the servicing of any Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, the Transferring Servicer, at the Special Servicer’s expense, shall deliver to the Special Servicer all documents and records relating to such Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing to the Special Servicer. On the servicing transfer date, the Special Servicer shall reimburse the Transferring Servicer for all unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees relating to the Mortgage Loans for which the servicing is being transferred. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.08 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement for all such Advances, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees paid by the Transferring Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.19. In addition, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of such transfer and the effective date of such transfer, and amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect that such Mortgage Loans are Special Serviced Mortgage Loans.
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.
Amendment of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is hereby amended to provide that all references therein to the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement,” to “this Agreement” and to “herein” shall be deemed from and after the Removal Date to be a dual reference to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as supplemented by this Reassignment. Except as expressly amended hereby, all of the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall remain unamended and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and except as expressly provided herein shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with or a consent to non-compliance with any term or provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Mortgage Loans As of the Closing Date, in consideration of the Issuer’s delivery of the Notes and the Ownership Certificate to the Depositor or its designee, and concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby transfer, assign, set over, deposit with and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse, subject to Section 3.01, in trust, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to all accounts, accounts receivable, contract rights, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, notes, drafts, letters of credit, advices of credit, investment property, uncertificated securities claims and rights to payment of any and every kind consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the following: (a) the Mortgage Loans listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, and principal due and payable after the Cut-off Date, but not including interest and principal due and payable on any Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, together with the Mortgage Files relating to such Mortgage Loans, (b) any Insurance Proceeds, REO Property, Liquidation Proceeds and other recoveries (in each case, subject to clause (a) above), (c) all Escrow Payments, (d) any Insurance Policies, (e) the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (f) the Depositor’s security interest in any collateral pledged to secure the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgaged Properties, and (g) all income, revenues, issues, products, revisions, substitutions, replacements, profits, rents and all cash and non-cash proceeds of the foregoing to have and to hold, in trust; and the Indenture Trustee declares that, subject to the review provided for in Section 2.02, it has received and shall hold the Trust Estate, as Indenture Trustee, in trust, for the benefit and use of the Noteholders and for the purposes and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and, concurrently with such receipt, the Issuer has issued and delivered the Notes and the Ownership Certificate to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Mortgage Loans and the other property of the Trust Estate. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby assign to the Issuer all of its rights and interest under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement but without delegation of any of its obligations thereunder. The Issuer hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise all the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as if, for such purpose, it were the Depositor. Upon the issuance of the Notes, ownership in the Trust Estate shall be vested in the Issuer, subject to the lien created by the Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption by the Indenture Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller, or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth herein. It is agreed and understood by the Seller, the Depositor and the Issuer (and the Depositor so represents and recognizes) that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan to be included in the Trust Estate be (i) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, (iii) a "High-Cost Home Mortgage Loan" as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) a "High Cost Home Loan" as defined in the Indiana Home Loan Practices Act effective January 1, 2005.
Administration and Servicing of Contracts Section 6.01 [Reserved].
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans To the extent and for so long as the Class B Certificates of a Series are outstanding and the Class B Holder owns at least 75% of the most subordinate outstanding class of the Class B Certificates of such Series (calculated by dividing the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class B Certificates by the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of all certificates of the same class), Delinquent Mortgage Loans of the related Series may, at the option of the Class B Holder, be designated in writing by the Class B Holder as Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and transferred to the Special Servicer for servicing. The Special Servicer shall service the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement [and the Servicer Guide]. Following the designation of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan as a Specially Serviced Loan, the Company shall transfer servicing of such Delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer substantially in the manner set forth herein and in Schedule II hereto. [The parties hereto agree that any fees resulting from the transfer of the servicing of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan from the Company or a subservicer to the Special Servicer (or any successor thereto) shall be the obligation of the Company.] As of the Effective Date (as defined below) of each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall succeed to and undertake all rights, duties and obligations of the prior servicer (including, without limitation, the making of advances, any right to purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at the purchase price set forth in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the right to receive the servicing fee with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement [and the terms and conditions of the Servicer Guide]. With respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the effective date (the "Effective Date") shall be the first day of the month immediately following the month of designation of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as such, provided that such written designation is received by the Company on or prior to the 15th calendar day of such month. Once a Delinquent Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, such Delinquent Mortgage Loan shall remain a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and shall continue to be serviced by the Special Servicer, until the earlier of the liquidation or other disposition of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the termination of this Agreement, regardless of delinquency status, whether the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property or otherwise; provided, however, that if the Company exercises its right as Master Servicer to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans in a Trust Fund pursuant to an optional termination provision under the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the servicing of any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans with respect to which foreclosure proceedings have not been commenced shall be transferred promptly by the Special Servicer in accordance with written instructions from the Company. If the Class B Holder (i) transfers such percentage interest in any Class B Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns less than 75% of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such class, or (ii) purchases such percentage interest in any Class B Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns 75% or more of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such class, the Class B Holder shall promptly notify the Company and the Special Servicer in writing of any such transfer or acquisition. Upon receipt of written notice from the Class B Holder, the Company or the Class B Holder shall revise Schedule I hereto to reflect any such transfer or acquisition and shall forward promptly a copy of such revised schedule to the Company or the Class B Holder, as applicable, and the Special Servicer. With respect to the purchase of at least 75% of the Class B Certificates of any Series by the Class B Holder after the date hereof, this Agreement shall be effective as of the date such written notice of acquisition is received by the Company. If and to the extent the Company is permitted to purchase Delinquent Mortgage Loans under the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class B Holder may direct the Company to purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and to promptly resell such Mortgage Loan to the Class B Holder at the price and on the terms set forth in such Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event the Class B Holder directs the Company to purchase a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as permitted under this Section, the Company shall promptly take all action necessary under the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to accomplish such purchase (i.e. provide notification to the Trustee and/or Custodian) and to resell such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Class B Holder. The Class B Holder, and not the Company, shall be required to remit the purchase price for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the related Trustee. The Company will inform the Trustee in writing of the purchase of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by the Class B Holder and further shall promptly take all actions necessary or desirable to effect the conveyance of such Mortgage Loan and the related servicing rights to the Class B Holder or its designee, time being of the essence. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall (i) in no event be obligated to effect any cure or remedy in connection with a deficiency in the documentation for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the extent such deficiency existed at the time such Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) have any responsibility for any obligations, duties, or liabilities of the Company with respect to the servicing of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that arose prior to the related Effective Date for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, other than those which would customarily be assumed after the Effective Date.
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.
