Additional Obligations of Master Servicer and Special Servicer (a) Within sixty (60) days (or within such longer period as the Special Servicer is (as certified thereby to the Trustee in writing) diligently using reasonable efforts to obtain the Appraisal referred to below) after the earliest of the date on which any Serviced Mortgage Loan (i) becomes a Modified Mortgage Loan following the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event, (ii) becomes an REO Mortgage Loan, (iii) with respect to which a receiver or similar official is appointed and continues for sixty (60) days in such capacity in respect of the related Mortgaged Property, (iv) the related Borrower becomes the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings or, if such proceedings are involuntary, such proceedings remain undismissed for sixty (60) days, (v) any Monthly Payment (other than a Balloon Payment) becomes sixty (60) days or more delinquent, or (vi) the related Borrower fails to make when due any Balloon Payment and the Borrower does not deliver to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on or before the Due Date of the Balloon Payment, a written and fully executed (subject only to customary final closing conditions) refinancing commitment from an acceptable lender and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Master Servicer (and the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such commitment to the Special Servicer) which provides that such refinancing will occur within 120 days after the date on which the Balloon Payment will become due (provided that if either such refinancing does not occur during that time or the Master Servicer is required during that time to make any P&I Advance in respect of the Mortgage Loan, an Appraisal Trigger Event will occur immediately) (each such event, an “Appraisal Trigger Event” and each such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related REO Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an Appraisal Trigger Event, until it ceases to be such in accordance with the following paragraph, a “Required Appraisal Loan”), the Special Servicer shall obtain an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, unless an Appraisal thereof had previously been received (or, if applicable, conducted) within the prior nine (9) months and the Special Servicer has no knowledge of changed circumstances that in the Special Servicer’s reasonable judgment would materially affect the value of the Mortgaged Property. If such Appraisal is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost thereof shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance, such Advance to be made at the direction of the Special Servicer when the Appraisal is received by the Special Servicer. Promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such Appraisal and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3.19(a), the Special Servicer, in consultation with (i) the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) or (ii) one or more of the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) and the Trust Advisor, under the procedures set forth in Sections 3.28(d) and 3.28(e) (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), shall determine and report to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer the then-applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject Required Appraisal Loan. For purposes of this Section 3.19(a), an Appraisal may, in the case of any Serviced Mortgage Loan with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of less than 241 $2,000,000 only, consist solely of an internal valuation performed by the Special Servicer. In connection with a Mortgaged Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall also determine and report to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination that is an Excluded Loan), any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) and the related Other Master Servicer the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the entire such Serviced Loan Combination (calculated, for purposes of this sentence, as if it were a single Mortgage Loan and, in the case of a Serviced A/B Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan).

Enforcement of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations (a) Each Servicing Agreement requires the applicable Servicer, respectively, to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions thereof. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Any fees and other amounts payable to a Servicer shall be deducted from amounts remitted to the Master Servicer by such Servicer to the extent permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall not be an obligation of the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Master Servicer.

Each Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan, except as provided pursuant to Section 3.21. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Servicer, in its own name or in the name of any Subservicer or the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when such Servicer or any Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services, and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans it services to the extent that such Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee, upon the direction of the related Servicer, shall promptly execute such documents and deliver them to the related Servicer. In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, each 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 relating to the Mortgage Loans it services, which Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. The costs incurred by the Servicers, if any, in effecting the timely payments 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 Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. The relationship of each Servicer (and of any successor to any Servicer as servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
Servicer’s Fees As compensation for performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Servicer will be paid the Servicing Fee. On each Payment Date, the Issuer will pay the Servicing Fee to the Servicer according to Section 8.2 of the Indenture. In addition, the Servicer may retain any Supplemental Servicing Fees and will receive investment earnings (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds in the Bank Accounts in each Collection Period.
