The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section 3.16; provided, however, the Trustee will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Copies of all reports filed by the Trustee under the Exchange Act shall be sent to: the Depositor c/o Bear, Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc., Attn: Managing Director-Analysis and Control, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 3859.

(b) In connection with the filing of any 10-K hereunder, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K) for the Depositor regarding certain aspects of the Form 10-K certification signed by the Depositor, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to undertake an analysis of any accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K.
(c) The Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 3.16 or the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Depositor under this Section 3.16 or the Depositor’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Depositor and their respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Section 3.16 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable, then the defaulting party, in connection with a breach of its respective obligations under this Section 3.16 or its respective negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith, agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other parties as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other.
(d) Nothing shall be construed from the foregoing subsections (a), (b) and (c) to require the Trustee or any officer, director or Affiliate thereof to sign any Form 10-K or any certification contained therein. Furthermore, the inability of the Trustee to file a Form 10-K as a result of the lack of required information as set forth in Section 3.16(a) or required signatures on such Form 10-K or any certification contained therein shall not be regarded as a breach by the Trustee of any obligation under this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.01, this Section 3.16 may be amended without the consent of the Certificateholders.
Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (a) The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the Trust's satisfying its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any monthly Current Reports on Form 8-K (each, a "Monthly Form 8-K") and Annual Reports on Form 10-K (each, a "Form 10-K") customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and the Trustee shall sign and file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such Forms on behalf of the Trust. In the event the Depositor is signing the Certification described in paragraph (b) of this Section 3.22, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such Form 10-K on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Securities and Exchange Commission does not accept a Certification signed by the Depositor where the related Form 10-K is signed by the Trustee on behalf of the Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare such Form 10-K to be signed by the Depositor and the Depositor shall sign such Form 10-K.
(b) Each Monthly Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days after each Distribution Date, including a copy of the monthly statement to Certificateholders delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(b) (each, a "Distribution Date Statement") for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Securities and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.18 and the accountant's report described under Section 3.19, in each case, to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O (the "Certification"), which shall be signed by a senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization or a senior officer of the Servicer in charge of the servicing function. The Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver the Certification to the Trustee three (3) Business Days prior to the latest date on which the Form 10-K may be timely filed. The Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate to enable the Securities and Exchange Commission requirements with respect to the Trust to be met in the event that the Securities and Exchange Commission issues additional interpretive guidelines or promulgates rules or regulations, or in the event of any other change of law that would require reporting arrangements or the allocation of responsibilities with respect thereto, as described in this Section 3.22, to be conducted or allocated in a different manner.
(c) Prior to the latest date on which the Form 10-K may be timely filed each year, the Trustee shall sign and deliver to the Depositor (or the Servicer, if the Servicer signs the Certification) a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P) for the benefit of the Depositor (or the Servicer, as the case may be) and its officers, directors and Affiliates (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K). In addition, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the Certification), and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon any inaccuracy in the certification provided by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.22(c), any breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 3.22(c) or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the Certification) and its officers, directors and affiliates, then the Trustee agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the Certification), its officers, directors or affiliates as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the Certification), its officers, directors or affiliates in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the Certification) and its officers, directors and affiliates on the one hand and the Trustee on the other in connection with a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 3.22(c) or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. The Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Depositor and the Trustee are relying on the Servicer's performance of its obligations under Sections 3.18 and 3.19 in order to perform their respective obligations under this Section 3.22.
(d) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any such executed report, statement or information.
(e) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which the Trustee is obligated to file reports on Form 8-K or 10-K pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. Upon request of the Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare, execute and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, and thereafter there shall be no further obligations under paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section commencing with the fiscal year in which the Form 15 is filed (other than the obligations to be performed in such fiscal year that relate back to the prior fiscal year).
