Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (a) (i) Within thirty (30) days after a Defaulted Mortgage Loan has become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal and within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Appraisal shall determine the fair value of such Defaulted Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the Special Servicer is then in the process of obtaining an Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall make its fair value determination as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days) after its receipt of such an Appraisal. 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.
Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans (a) The holder of Certificates evidencing the greatest percentage interest in the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer and each Seller as to those Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by such Seller only (in such capacity, together with any assignee, the "Option Holder") shall, in that order, have the right, at its option (the "Option"), to purchase a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that is subject to a comparable option under the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) from the Trust at a price equal to the Option Purchase Price upon receipt of notice from the Special Servicer that such Mortgage Loan has become at least 60 days delinquent as to any monthly debt service payment (or is delinquent as to its Balloon Payment); provided, however, that with respect to an A Note, the Option Holder's rights under this Section 9.36 are subject to the rights of the holder of the related B Note to purchase the A Note pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Option is exercisable, subject to Section 2.3, from that date until terminated pursuant to clause (e) below, and during that period the Option shall be exercisable in any month only during the period from the 10th calendar day of such month through the 25th calendar day, inclusive, of such month. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be obligated to sell such Mortgage Loan upon the exercise of the Option (whether exercised by the original holder thereof or by a holder that acquired such Option by assignment), but shall have no authority to sell such Mortgage Loan other than in connection with the exercise of an Option (or in connection with a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan under Article II, an optional termination pursuant to Section 10.1 or a qualified liquidation of a REMIC Pool) or if such Mortgage Loan is an A Note, to the holder of the related B Note pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. Any Option Holder that exercises the Option shall be required to purchase the applicable Mortgage Loan on the 4th Business Day after such exercise. If any Option Holder desires to waive its right to exercise the Option, then it shall so notify the Trustee in writing, and the Trustee shall promptly notify the next party eligible to hold the Option set forth above of its rights hereunder. Any of the parties eligible to hold the Option set forth above may at any time notify the Trustee in writing of its desire to exercise the Option, and the Trustee shall promptly notify (i) the current Option Holder (and the other parties eligible to hold the Option) and (ii) solely with respect to an Option to purchase an A Note, the holder of the related B Note, of such party's desire to exercise the Option; provided that none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall disclose the Option Purchase Price to the holder of such related B Note. If the Option Holder neither (i) exercises the Option nor (ii) surrenders its right to exercise the Option within 3 Business Days of its receipt of that notice, then the Option Holder's right to exercise the Option shall lapse, and the Trustee shall promptly notify the next party eligible to hold the Option (and the other parties eligible to hold the Option) of its rights thereunder. The Certificate Registrar shall notify the Trustee as to the identity of the holder of Certificates evidencing the greatest percentage interest in the Controlling Class for purposes of determining an Option Holder.
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is hereby acknowledged that certain groups of Mortgage Loans are, in the case of each such particular group of Mortgage Loans (each, a "Cross-Collateralized Group"), by their terms, cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized, if identified as such on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. For purposes of reference, the Mortgaged Property that relates or corresponds to any of the Mortgage Loans referred to in this Section 17 shall be the property identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as corresponding thereto. The provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C hereto and each of the capitalized terms used herein but defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this Section 17. In addition, if there exists with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group only one original of any document referred to in the definition of "Mortgage File" in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and covering all the Mortgage Loans in such Cross-Collateralized Group, the inclusion of the original of such document in the Mortgage File for any of the Mortgage Loans constituting such Cross-Collateralized Group shall be deemed an inclusion of such original in the Mortgage File for each such Mortgage Loan.
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.
Purchase of Distressed Mortgage Loans The NIMS Insurer may, at its option, purchase a Distressed Mortgage Loan; provided, however, prior to any such purchase, the Servicer shall be required to continue to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Distressed Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 4.03. Any such purchase shall be accomplished by remittance to the Master Servicer of the Purchase Price for the Distressed Mortgage Loan for deposit into the Collection Account established by the Master Servicer pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Trustee and the Servicer shall immediately effectuate the conveyance of the purchased Distressed Mortgage Loan to the NIMS Insurer exercising the purchase option, including prompt delivery of the Servicing File and all related documentation to the applicable NIMS Insurer.
The Mortgage Loans Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller hereby transfers to the Purchaser, without recourse, all of its right, title and interest existing now or in the future in,
Sale of REO Property (a) If title to any REO Property is acquired by the Trust (or its nominee) in respect of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trust, the Trustee or to its nominees. The Special Servicer, subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell any REO Property for cash as soon as practicable consistent with the objective of maximizing proceeds for all Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, for the Certificateholders and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan or B Note, as applicable, as a collective whole), but in no event later than the end of the third (3rd) calendar year following the end of the year of its acquisition, and in any event prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date or earlier to the extent necessary to comply with REMIC Provisions, unless (i) the Trustee or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the applicable REMIC Pool, (A) has been granted an extension of time (an “Extension”) (which extension shall be applied for at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the period specified above) by the IRS for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property (a copy of which Extension and the related application shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator upon request), or (B) is permitted under the REMIC Provisions to continue to hold such REO Property during the period in which the application for such an Extension is pending, in either of which cases the Special Servicer may continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for cash for its fair market value for such longer period as such Extension permits or while the application for such Extension is pending, as the case may be, or (ii) the Special Servicer seeks and subsequently receives, at the expense of the Trust, a Nondisqualification Opinion, addressed to the Trustee and the Special Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property subsequent to the period specified above after its acquisition will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of a REMIC, as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, or cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that in no event shall the Trust be permitted to hold any REO Property beyond the end of the sixth (6th) calendar year following the end of the year of such REO Property’s acquisition. If the Trustee has not received such an Extension or Opinion of Counsel and the Special Servicer is not able to sell such REO Property for cash within the period specified above, or if an Extension has been granted and the Special Servicer is unable to sell such REO Property within the extended time period, the Special Servicer shall, after consultation with the Applicable Control Party, before the end of such period or extended period, as the case may be, auction the REO Property to the highest cash bidder (which may be the Special Servicer or another Interested Person) in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, that if the Special Servicer, any other Interested Person or any of their respective affiliated entities intends to bid on or otherwise purchase any REO Property, (i) the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee of such intent, (ii) the Trustee shall promptly obtain, at the expense of the Trust, an Appraisal of such REO Property (or internal valuation in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 6.9) and (iii) the applicable Interested Person shall not bid less than the fair market value set forth in such Appraisal. Neither the Trustee nor any Affiliate thereof may purchase an REO Property.
Mortgagor Selection No Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy mortgagors, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by the Originator or any Affiliate of the Originator. If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending Affiliate of the Originator, the Originator referred the related Mortgagor's application to such Affiliate for underwriting consideration;

The appointment of a Special Servicer by the Seller and the execution of a special servicing agreement between the Seller and the Special Servicer shall be subject to the consent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer and the receipt of confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the transfer of servicing to the Special Servicer shall not result in a reduction of any rating previously given by such Rating Agency to any Certificate or the NIMS Securities. Any monthly fee paid to the Special Servicer in connection with any Mortgage Loan serviced by such Special Servicer shall not exceed one-twelfth of the product of (a) 0.50% and (b) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan.
