Servicer Advances For each Settlement Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to a Loan included in the Collateral during such Settlement Period was not received prior to the end of such Settlement Period, the Servicer may, but shall not be obligated to, make an advance in an amount up to the amount of such delinquent Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) to the extent that the Servicer reasonably expects to be reimbursed for such advance; in addition, if on any day there are not sufficient funds on deposit in the Collection Account to pay accrued Interest on any Advance the Settlement Period of which ends on such day, the Servicer may make an advance in the amount necessary to pay such Interest (in either case, any such advance, a “Servicer Advance”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any Successor Servicer will not be obligated to make any Servicer Advances. The Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances into the Collection Account on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related Payment Date, in immediately available funds.
Monthly Advances by Servicer On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or from amounts held for future distribution, or both, an amount equal to all Monthly Payments (in the case of Simple Interest Mortgage Loans, solely the portion of the Monthly Payment attributable to interest) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were Delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than remittances to the Master Servicer required to be made on such Remittance Date. The Servicer shall keep appropriate records of such amounts and will provide such records to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer upon request. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the Servicer’s right to (i) pass through late collections on the related Mortgage Loans in lieu of making Monthly Advances or (ii) reimburse itself for such Monthly Advances from late collections on the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan unless the Servicer deems such Monthly Advance to be non-recoverable, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Master Servicer.
P&I Advances (a) On or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) deposit into the Distribution Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Certificate Account for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances, or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made; provided that if Late Collections of any of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which it is to make P&I Advances on any Master Servicer Remittance Date are then on deposit in the Certificate Account, the Master Servicer shall use such Late Collections (net of any Master Servicing Fees and Workout Fees payable therefrom) to make such P&I Advances. Any amounts held in the Certificate Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances (other than the Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest contemplated by the proviso to the preceding sentence) shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on or before the next succeeding Determination Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). If, as of 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall not have made any P&I Advance required to be made on such date pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) (and shall not have delivered to the Trustee the requisite Officer's Certificate and documentation related to a determination of nonrecoverability of a P&I Advance), then the Trustee shall provide notice of such failure to a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer by facsimile transmission sent to telecopy no. (____) ____-______ (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in writing) and by telephone at telephone no. (____) ___-____ (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in writing) as soon as possible, but in any event before 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Master Servicer Remittance Date. If, after such notice, the Trustee does not receive the full amount of such P&I Advances by the close of business (New York City time) on such Master Servicer Remittance Date, then (i) unless the Trustee determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance if made, the Trustee shall make the portion of such P&I Advances that was required to be, but was not, made by the Master Servicer on such Master Servicer Remittance Date and (ii) such failure shall constitute an Event of Default on the part of the Master Servicer.
(b) The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, Balloon Mortgage Loans delinquent as to their respective Balloon Payments) and any REO Loans for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to subsection (c) below, the aggregate of all Monthly Payments (other than Balloon Payments) and any Assumed Monthly Payments, in each case net of related Master Servicing Fees and Workout Fees payable hereunder, that were due or deemed due, as the case may be, in respect thereof on their respective Due Dates during the related Collection Period and that were not paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagors or otherwise collected as of the close of business on the last day of the related Collection Period; provided that, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to any Required Appraisal Loan, then, in the event of subsequent delinquencies thereon, the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (i) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance for such Required Appraisal Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this proviso, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. In addition, Nonrecoverable P&I Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.05(a) out of general collections on the Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Certificate Account. The determination by the Master Servicer or, if applicable, the Trustee, that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered promptly (and, in any event, in the case of a proposed P&I Advance by the Master Servicer, no less than 5 Business Days prior to the related Master Servicer Remittance Date) to the Trustee (or, if applicable, retained thereby), the Depositor and the Rating Agencies, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with ( such determination is prior to the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property) a copy of an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be, which shall have been performed within the twelve months preceding such determination, and further accompanied by any other information that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may have obtained and that supports such determination. The Trustee shall deliver such Officer's Certificate as soon as practicable after its determination that such P&I Advance would be nonrecoverable. If such an Appraisal shall not have been required and performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may, subject to its reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the Trust. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to a particular P&I Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Special Servicer with respect to a particular P&I Advance.
(d) As and to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each P&I Advance made thereby (out of its own funds) for so long as such P&I Advance is outstanding (or, in the case of Advance Interest payable to the Master Servicer, if earlier, until the Late Collection of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advance was made has been received by the Master Servicer or any of its Sub-Servicers), and such interest will be paid: first, out of any Default Charges collected on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan during, and allocable to, the period, if any, that it was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an REO Loan; and second, at any time coinciding with or following the reimbursement of such P&I Advance, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Certificate Account. As and to the extent provided by Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer shall reimburse itself or the Trustee, as appropriate, for any P&I Advance made thereby as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Certificate Account, and in no event shall interest accrue in accordance with this Section 4.03(d) on any P&I Advance as to which the corresponding Late Collection had been received as of the related date on which such P&I Advance was made.
Nonrecoverable Advances Any advance previously made by a Servicer pursuant to its Selling and Servicing Contract with respect to a Mortgage Loan or by the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer shall determine in its good faith judgment not to be ultimately recoverable from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise with respect to such Mortgage Loan or recoverable as late Monthly Payments with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer that it or the applicable Servicer has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee on the Determination Date and detailing the reasons for such determination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, or any other agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Company or the Master Servicer is a party, (a) the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any advance that, after reasonable inquiry and in its sole discretion, the Master Servicer or such Servicer shall determine would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and (b) the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any advance as provided in Section 3.05(a)(i), (ii) and (iv) of this Agreement.
No Servicer Advances The Servicer shall not make any advances of interest on or principal of the Recovery Bonds.
Monthly Advances If the Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due on a related Due Date is delinquent other than as a result of application of the Relief Act and for which the related Servicer was required to make an advance pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement exceeds the amount deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account which will be used for an advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account not later than the Distribution Account Deposit Date immediately preceding the related Distribution Date an amount equal to such deficiency, net of the Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue to make such advances through the date that the related Servicer is required to do so under its Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer deems an advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, on the Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall present an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee (i) stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make a Monthly Advance in a stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Servicing Advances The Master Servicer and, if the Master Servicer does not, the Trustee to the extent the Trustee receives written notice from the Certificate Administrator that such Advance has not been made by the Master Servicer, shall make Servicing Advances to the extent provided in this Agreement, except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee as applicable, determines in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, except to the extent the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard and Section 4.4 that such Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, in which event the Special Servicer shall promptly direct the Master Servicer not to make such Advance; provided that the Special Servicer has no obligation to make such determination. Such determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Certificateholders and, in the case of any B Note, the holder of the related B Note and, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be required to make Servicing Advances under this Agreement but may make such Servicing Advances (on an emergency basis) at its option in which event the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Servicing Advance (together with Advance Interest) promptly (but no later than five (5) days) following receipt of a statement therefor. Promptly after discovering that the Master Servicer has failed to make a Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer is required to make hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Trustee (if the Certificate Administrator is not also the Trustee) in writing of the failure by the Master Servicer to make such Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer may make Servicing Advances in its own discretion if it determines that making such Servicing Advance is in the best interest of the Certificateholders, as a collective whole (and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan, in the best interest of the holder of the related B Note and the Trust as a collective whole and, in the case of any Loan Pair, in the best interest of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan and the Trust as a collective whole), even if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer is obligated to make Servicing Advances pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation or authority to make Servicing Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
Servicing of the Mortgage Loans The Mortgage Loans have been sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on a servicing released basis. Subject to, and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein), the Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, conveys and delivers to the Purchaser the Servicing Rights. The Purchaser shall retain the Interim Servicer as contract servicer of the Mortgage Loans for an interim period pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein). The Seller shall cause the Interim Servicer to execute the Interim Servicing Agreement on the initial Closing Date. Pursuant to the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein), the Interim Servicer shall begin servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Purchaser and shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loans until the applicable Transfer Date. The Interim Servicer shall conduct such servicing in accordance with the Interim Servicing Agreement. The Interim Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and for the performance of any and all other activities of the Interim Servicer as provided in the Interim Servicing Agreement. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Seller shall assign its obligation to service the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Purchaser to its interim subservicer, which, on the date of this Agreement, is either Option One Mortgage Corporation or Litton Loan Servicing, LP.
Master Servicing Fee Rate The rate used to calculate the Master Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan is 0.017% per annum.
Servicing of the Mortgage Loan (a) Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that, subject in each case to the specific terms of this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement.
(b) Prior to the closing of a Lead Securitization, all servicing and other decisions regarding the Mortgage Loan shall be made: (i) with respect to matters set forth on Exhibit D hereto, by unanimous consent of the Holders and (ii) with respect to all other matters, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the Servicing Agreement (provided that any conflict between the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement shall be resolved in favor of this Agreement), by the Directing Holder. Each PSA shall contain terms and conditions that are customary for securitization transactions involving assets similar to the Mortgage Loan and that are otherwise (A) required by the Code relating to the tax elections of any Trust Fund, (B) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (C) requested by the Rating Agencies rating any Securitization.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents, effective upon the Lead Securitization, to the appointment of the Master Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement by the Depositor and the appointment of the Special Servicer by the Directing Holder and agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Agreement. Each Holder hereby appoints, effective upon the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact to sign any documents reasonably required with respect to the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan on its behalf under the Servicing Agreement (subject at all times to the rights of the Holders as set forth herein and in such Servicing Agreement).
(d) If, at any time the Lead Note is no longer in a Securitization, the Lead Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to a servicing agreement that is substantially similar to the Servicing Agreement (and, if any Non-Lead Note is in a Securitization, a Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agencies that were engaged by the Depositor to rate such Securitization shall be obtained) and all references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that until a replacement Servicing Agreement has been entered into (and such Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained), the Lead Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement that was previously in effect for the Lead Note, as if such Servicing Agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, however, that until a replacement Servicing Agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any Qualified Servicer appointed by the Lead Note Holder and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement that was previously in effect.
