Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee (or MERS, as applicable), or in the event the Trustee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Servicer (with a copy delivered to the Trustee) from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Trustee. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.12, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Master Servicer or NIMS Insurer otherwise requests, an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector shall be arranged by the Servicer. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer and NIMS Insurer with a written report of such environmental inspection. In the event that the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, the Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In the event that the environmental inspection report is inconclusive as to the whether or not the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, the Servicer shall not, without the prior approval of both the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In such instance, the Master Servicer and/or the NIMS Insurer shall be deemed to have approved such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure unless either notifies the Servicer in writing, within three (3) days after its receipt of written notice of the proposed foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure from the Servicer, that it disapproves of the related foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made pursuant to this paragraph with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account. In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property not later than the end of the third taxable year after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Servicer has applied for and received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service (and provided a copy of the same to the NIMS Insurer) to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the applicable Trust REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the imposition of a federal or state tax upon such REMIC. If the Servicer has received such an extension (and provide a copy of the same to the NIMS Insurer), then the Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Servicer has not received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell REO Property within the period ending 3 months before the end of such third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Servicer has received such an extension, and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Servicer shall, before the end of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value, as acceptable to the NIMS Insurer or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be. The Master Servicer shall sign any document or take any other action reasonably requested by the Servicer which would enable the Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to request such grant of extension. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any Trust REMIC to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund and the NIMS Insurer with respect to the imposition of any such taxes. The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan at the time it becomes an REO Property. Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer reasonably determines to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and provided the sales price and the related terms and conditions are results of arm’s-length negotiation. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. After the expenses of such disposition shall have been paid, the Servicer shall pursuant to Section 3.04 apply any remaining proceeds to payment of any unreimbursed Option One Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances or Monthly Advances or unpaid Seller Remittance Amount incurred with respect to such REO Property. The Servicer shall withdraw from the Custodial Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to the Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae Guides.
Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO Property (a) This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the account of the Trustee and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a Mortgage Loan which was purchased or repurchased from the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof. In the event that title to any such REO Property is acquired, the Servicer shall cause the deed or certificate of sale to be issued in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders.
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.
Use and Disposition of Collateral None of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Collateral, except as expressly permitted by Section 6.02
APPLIED TO THE DEBT REGARDLESS OF ANY APPRAISED VALUE OF THE COLLATERAL The undersigned specifically acknowledges and affirms its waiver of appraisal rights as evidenced by its signature below.
Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonment of Mortgaged Property The Master Servicer or the Subservicers shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage interests received in a trade or business, the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P, respectively, of the Code, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate on or before March 31 of each year stating that such reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; REO Property (a) The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow Customary Servicing Procedures and shall meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with an unaffiliated Holder of 100% Percentage Interest of a Class of Class B Certificates or a holder of a class of securities representing interests in the Class B Certificates alone or together with other subordinated mortgage pass-through certificates. Such agreement shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K or subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment that the ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such holder may instruct the Servicer to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent Mortgage Loans and will contain provisions for the deposit of cash by the holder that would be available for distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer acted in accordance with its normal procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any Mortgaged Property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through proceeds of the liquidation of the Mortgage Loan (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Servicer Custodial Account). Any such expenditures shall constitute Servicing Advances for purposes of this Agreement. The decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding. With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee's capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer manage, conserve, protect and operate such REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. Incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, the Servicer may rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented, if any, showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions; provided, however, that the Servicer shall have no duty to rent any REO Property on behalf of the Trust. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Servicer shall perform, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and, if required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required. The Servicer shall deliver copies of such reports to the Trustee. If the Trust acquires any Mortgaged Property as described above or otherwise in connection with a default or a default which is reasonably foreseeable on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the end of the third calendar year following the year of its acquisition by the Trust (such period, the "REO Disposition Period") unless (A) the Trustee shall have been supplied by the Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to the REO Disposition Period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) on either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or cause either REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or (B) the Trustee (at the Servicer's expense) or the Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of the REO Disposition Period, an extension of the REO Disposition Period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code. If such an Opinion of Counsel is provided or such an exemption is obtained, the Trust may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) for the applicable period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject either REMIC to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes. The Servicer shall identify to the Trustee any Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan held by the Trust for 30 months for which no plans to dispose of such Mortgaged Property by the Servicer have been made. After delivery of such identification, the Servicer shall proceed to dispose of any such Mortgaged Property by holding a commercially reasonable auction for such property. The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Periodic Advances and Servicing Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of allocating principal and interest, interest shall be treated as accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Servicer Custodial Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan. The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Periodic Advances and to reimburse the Servicer Custodial Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Periodic Advance has been made for such amount or any such Periodic Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.17.
Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property Following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant to Section 6050J of the Code.
Certain Calculations in Respect of the Mortgage Pool (a) All amounts Received by the Trust in respect of any Cross-Collateralized Group, including any payments from Borrowers, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (including any such collections on or in respect of Corrected Mortgage Loans but exclusive, if applicable, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, of amounts payable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement), together with any other cash recoveries on and proceeds of any Cross-Collateralized Group shall be applied among the Mortgage Loans constituting such Cross-Collateralized Group in accordance with the express provisions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents (including any modifications, waivers or amendments thereto or supplemental agreements entered into in connection with the servicing and administration of such Mortgage Loan) and, in the absence of such express provisions, in accordance with the Servicing Standard. All amounts Received by the Trust in respect of or allocable to any particular Mortgage Loan (but excluding any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, which shall be allocated in accordance with Section 1.03(c), hereof), including any payments from Borrowers, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds (including any such collections on or in respect of Corrected Mortgage Loans but exclusive, if applicable, in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, of amounts payable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement), together with any other cash recoveries on and proceeds of such Mortgage Loan shall be applied to amounts due and owing under the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage (including for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, in the absence of such express provisions or if and to the extent that such terms authorize the lender to use its discretion, shall be applied:
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.
