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).

Registration Under the Securities Act (a) To the extent not prohibited by any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to (i) cause to be filed with the SEC an Exchange Offer Registration Statement covering an offer to the Holders to exchange all the Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities and (ii) have such Registration Statement remain effective until 180 days after the last Exchange Date for use by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers. The Company and the Guarantors shall commence the Exchange Offer promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and use their reasonable best efforts to complete the Exchange Offer not later than 45 days after such effective date. The Company and the Guarantors shall commence the Exchange Offer by mailing the related Prospectus, appropriate letters of transmittal and other accompanying documents to each Holder stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are required by applicable law, substantially the following:
(i) that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Registrable Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn will be accepted for exchange;
(ii) the dates of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a period of at least 20 Business Days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Exchange Dates”);
(iii) that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest but will not retain any rights under this Agreement, except as otherwise specified herein;
(iv) that any Holder electing to have a Registrable Security exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to (A) surrender such Registrable Security, together with the appropriate letters of transmittal, to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) and in the manner specified in the notice, or (B) effect such exchange otherwise in compliance with the applicable procedures of the depositary for such Registrable Security, in each case prior to the close of business on the last Exchange Date; and
(v) that any Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election, not later than the close of business on the last Exchange Date, by (A) sending to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) specified in the notice, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Securities exchanged or (B) effecting such withdrawal in compliance with the applicable procedures of the depositary for the Registrable Securities. As a condition to participating in the Exchange Offer, each Holder will be required to represent to the Company and the Guarantors prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer (which representation may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) that (i) any Exchange Securities to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company or any Guarantor and (iv) if such Holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, then such Holder will deliver a Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a Prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Company and the Guarantors shall:
(i) accept for exchange Registrable Securities or portions thereof validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and
(ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and deliver to each Holder, Exchange Securities equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities validly tendered by such Holder and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff.
(b) In the event that (i) the Company and the Guarantors determine that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may not be completed as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason completed by the 450th day after the issuance of the Securities (the “Target Registration Date”) or (iii) upon receipt of a written request (a “Shelf Request”) from any Initial Purchaser representing that it holds Registrable Securities that are or were ineligible to be exchanged in the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or Shelf Request, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and to have such Shelf Registration Statement become effective (“Shelf Registration”). In the event that the Company and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to file and have become effective both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by the Initial Purchasers after completion of the Exchange Offer. The Company and the Guarantors agree to use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective (i) until the expiration of the time period referred to in Rule 144(b)(i) under the Securities Act or (ii) for such shorter period that will terminate when all the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (x) have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or (y) cease to be outstanding (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). The Company and the Guarantors further agree to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder or if reasonably requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use their reasonable best efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective, if required, and such Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company and the Guarantors agree to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.
(c) The Company and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.
(d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC. A Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC or is automatically effective upon filing with the SEC as provided by Rule 462 under the Securities Act. In the event that either the Exchange Offer is not completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) or 2(b)(ii) hereof, has not become effective on or prior to the Target Registration Date, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following the Target Registration Date and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, in each case until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, becomes effective or the Securities become freely tradable under the Securities Act, up to a maximum total increase of 0.50% per annum. In the event that the Company receives a Shelf Request pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii), and the Shelf Registration Statement required to be filed thereby has not become effective by the later of (x) the Target Registration Date or (y) 90 days after delivery of such Shelf Request (such later date, the “Shelf Additional Interest Date”), then the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period payable commencing from one day after the Shelf Additional Interest Date and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, in each case until the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective or the Securities become freely tradable under the Securities Act, up to a maximum total increase of 0.50% per annum. If the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, has become effective and thereafter either ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable, in each case whether or not permitted by this Agreement, at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 75 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period, then the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased commencing on the 75th day in such 12-month period by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following such 75th day, and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum total increase of 0.50% per annum, and ending on such date that the Shelf Registration Statement has again become effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the increased interest rate described in Section 2(d) above is the sole and exclusive remedy available to Holders due to a registration default, so long as the Company and the Guarantors are acting in good faith hereunder, including, without limitation, with respect to satisfying their obligations.
(f) The Company represents, warrants and covenants that, unless it obtains the prior consent of counsel for the Majority Holders or the consent of the managing underwriter(s) in connection with any Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities, it (including its agents and representatives) will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in connection with the Securities or the Exchange Securities, other than any communication pursuant to Rule 134 under the Securities Act or any document constituting an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities or the Exchange Securities that falls within the exception from the definition of prospectus in Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the Securities Act.

Such Form 10-K shall include the Master Servicer Certification and other documentation provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to the second preceding sentence and the Form 10-K certification signed by the Depositor. 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. Fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Section 3.16 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.
(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.
