The applicable Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the related Borrowers interest and other income, if any, earned on the investment of funds in Servicing Accounts maintained thereby, if and to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents. If a Master Servicer shall deposit in a Servicing Account maintained by it any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Promptly after any Escrow Payments are received by the applicable Special Servicer from the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, and in any event within one Business Day after any such receipt, such Special Servicer shall remit such Escrow Payments to the applicable Master Servicer for deposit in the applicable Servicing Account(s).

The Special Servicer may, from time to time, adjust its fair value determination based upon changed circumstances, new information and other relevant factors, in each instance in accordance with a review of such circumstances and new information in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer in writing of the initial fair value determination and any adjustment to its fair value determination.

Amounts on deposit in Servicing Accounts may only be invested in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents.

Servicing of the Mortgage Loans Section 3.01.
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.
Master Servicing of Mortgage Loans For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with this Agreement, subject to the prior two sentences, and with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan master servicers. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time to time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 4.04 and any other information and statements required hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the Collection Account pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements. In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph and to the extent the related Servicer does not make such advance, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07, and further as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Scheduled Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
