Servicing of the Mortgage Loans Section 3.01.
ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER AND SERVICERS SECTION 5.01 Advances by the Master Servicer and Servicers. With respect to the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, each Servicer shall deposit in the related Collection Account as Advances, an amount equal to all Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the related Servicing Fee Rate) which were due on such Non-Designated Mortgage Loans serviced by it during the applicable Collection Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date; provided, however, that with respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, the related Servicer will not be required to advance the related balloon payment but will be required to continue to make advances in accordance with this Section 5.01 with respect to such Balloon Loan in an amount equal to (a) for each Servicer, other than WMMSC, an assumed scheduled payment that would otherwise be due based on the original amortization schedule for that Mortgage Loan and (b) for WMMSC, one month’s interest on the outstanding principal balance at the applicable Mortgage Rate, to the extent the related Servicer deems such amount to be recoverable. Each Servicer’s obligation to make such Advances as to any related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in full of such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, or through the date that the related Mortgaged Property has, in the judgment of such Servicer, been completely liquidated. No Servicer shall be required to advance shortfalls of principal or interest resulting from the application of the Relief Act. With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, if the amount of Advances received from a Servicer, other than WMMSC, is less than the amount required to be advanced by such Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to remit to the Trust Administrator, for deposit by the Trust Administrator in the Certificate Account, a payment in an amount equal to such deficiency, subject to any determination by the Master Servicer that any portion of the amount required to be advanced is a Nonrecoverable Advance. With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, to the extent required by Accepted Servicing Practices, the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be obligated to make Advances in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such obligation with respect to any related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan shall cease if the Master Servicer or a Servicer determines, in its reasonable opinion, that Advances with respect to such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer or such Servicer determines that any such advances are Nonrecoverable Advances, the Master Servicer or such Servicer shall provide the Trust Administrator with a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer evidencing such determination. Upon the Trust Administrator’s receipt of such certificate, the Trust Administrator shall send a copy of such certificate to the Trustee. With respect to any of the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, if an Advance is required to be made hereunder by a Servicer, such Servicer shall on the Cash Remittance Date either (i) deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.01, used by such Servicer to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any such funds being held in a Collection Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by such Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such Collection Account, or from other funds in the Collection Account being held for future distributions, on or before any future Distribution Date in which such funds would be due. With respect to any Designated Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall make Advances as required by Section 3.20(b) of this Agreement.
Servicing of the Mortgage Loan (a) Each Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that, subject in each case to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced from and after the Lead Securitization Date by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to advance monthly payments of principal or interest in respect of any Note other than the Lead Securitization Note(s) if such principal or interest is not paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower but shall be obligated to advance delinquent real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other expenses related to the maintenance of the Mortgaged Property and maintenance and enforcement of the lien of the Mortgage thereon, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided, further, that, when appointed, the Special Servicer has the required Special Servicer Rating from each Rating Agency then rating a Securitization. Each Note Holder acknowledges that any other Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization and agrees that it will, subject to Section 26, reasonably cooperate with such other Note Holder, at such other Note Holder’s expense, to effect such Securitization. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Note Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the appointment of the Master Servicer and the Trustee under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Depositor and the appointment of the Special Servicer by the Controlling Note 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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Note Holder hereby appoints the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee in the Lead Securitization as such Note 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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (subject at all times to the rights of such Note Holder set forth herein and in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement). The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not limit the Servicer in enforcing the rights of one Note Holder against any other Note Holder as may be required in order to service the Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided, that it is also understood and agreed that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to otherwise limit the rights of one Note Holder with respect to any other Note Holder. Each Servicer shall be required pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (i) to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and applicable law, (ii) to provide information to each servicer under each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement necessary to enable each such servicer to perform its servicing duties under such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and (iii) to not take any action or refrain from taking any action or follow any direction inconsistent with the foregoing.
Special Servicing of Delinquent Mortgage Loans If permitted under the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Seller may appoint, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and with the written consent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any NIMS Insurer, a Special Servicer to special service any Distressed Mortgage Loans. Any applicable Termination Fee related to the termination of the related Servicer and the appointment of any Special Servicer shall be paid by the Seller from its own funds, without right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund. Any fees paid to any such Special Servicer shall not exceed the Servicing Fee Rate.
Monthly Advances by the 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 an amount equal to all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) 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 or which were deferred pursuant to Section 4.01. 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 payments to the Owner required to be made on such Remittance Date. 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 REO Disposition Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such obligation shall cease if the Servicer determines, in its sole reasonable opinion, that advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan are non-recoverable by the Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, or otherwise with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan. In the event that the Servicer determines that any such advances are non-recoverable, the Servicer shall provide the Owner with a certificate signed by an officer of the Servicer evidencing such determination.
Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by the Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be precluded from selling all or part of the Servicing Fee relating to any Mortgage Loans to any Sub-Servicer, provided that with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer sells all or a part of the related Servicing Fee, the Master Servicer shall retain full responsibility under this Agreement for the servicing activities relating to such Mortgage Loan. Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts of which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Fxxxxxx Mac or Fxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.
Termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Depositor may terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon five (5) Business Days’ notice if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to comply with any of its respective obligations under this Article X; provided that such termination shall not be effective until a successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, shall have accepted the appointment.
Master Servicing of Mortgage Loans For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with this Agreement, subject to the prior two sentences, and with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan master servicers. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time to time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 4.04 and any other information and statements required hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the Collection Account pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements. In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph and to the extent the related Servicer does not make such advance, the Master 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, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07, and further as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payment 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 Scheduled Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Remittance Reports; Advances by the Master Servicer (a) By 11:00 A.M. New York time the Business Day following each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a report, prepared as of the close of business on the Determination Date (the "Determination Date Report"), by telecopy or in a mutually agreeable electronic format. The Determination Date Report and any written information supplemental thereto shall include such information with respect to the Mortgage Loans that is reasonably available to the Master Servicer and that is required by the Trustee for purposes of making the calculations referred to in the following paragraph, as set forth in written specifications or guidelines issued by the Trustee from time to time. Not later than 2:00 P.M. New York time on the Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Trustee shall furnish by telecopy to the Master Servicer a statement (the information in such statement to be made available to Certificateholders or the Depositor by the Master Servicer on request) setting forth (i) the Available Distribution Amount, (ii) the amounts required to be withdrawn from the Custodial Account and deposited into the Certificate Account on the immediately succeeding Certificate Account Deposit Date pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4.01 (a); and (iii) such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may reasonably require to perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.02. The determination by the Trustee of such amounts shall, in the absence of obvious error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder.
