This Agreement may be assumed by the Trustee, if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer or by any successor Master Servicer without cost or obligation to the assuming party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Without the express written consent of the Master Servicer, the Sub-Servicer shall not (a) waive or extend the date set forth in any agreement governing reserve funds by which the required repairs and/or capital improvements at the related Mortgaged Property must be completed or (b) release any earn out reserve funds or return any related letters of credit delivered in lieu of earn out reserve funds; provided that the Sub-Servicer may grant such a waiver or perform such release or return without the consent of the Master Servicer if such waiver, release or return, as the case may be, is not a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision. The Sub-Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer of any failure by a Mortgagor described in Section 3.04(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. References to the Collection Account shall be references to the Sub-Servicer Collection Account.

(iii)       to the extent not reimbursed or paid pursuant to any other clause of this Section 3.01(c)(9), to pay the Sub-Servicer unpaid Sub-Servicing Fees (but only if the related Mortgage Loan has been liquidated or a Final Recovery Determination has been made with respect thereto);

On each Sub-Servicer Remittance Date, all income and gain realized from investment of funds to which the Sub-Servicer is entitled shall be subject to withdrawal by such Sub-Servicer.

(10)         Section 3.07 is not incorporated herein.

The Sub-Servicer shall not be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company is not the Sub-Servicer or an Affiliate of the Sub-Servicer and satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (1) at the time such investment was made and (2) as of the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the insolvency.

(14)        Section 3.09. With respect to any assumption, transfer or other action contemplated by Section 3.09(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer shall perform the obligations of the Master Servicer under Section 3.09 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including dealing directly with the Special Servicer on matters for which the Pooling and Servicing Agreement requires the Master Servicer to deal with the Special Servicer) without the approval of the Master Servicer, but subject to all requirements and restrictions set forth in Section 3.09 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicer shall copy the Master Servicer on all correspondence to the Special Servicer regarding such matters and the Sub-Servicer shall prepare any package and analysis necessary to obtain any required Rating Agency Confirmation and forward such package to the Master Servicer for the Master Servicer to deal with the Rating Agencies.

Servicer for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Sub-Servicer or any of its Affiliates, directors, members, managers, officers, employees or agents against liability to the Master Servicer for any breach of any representation or warranty made herein, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of obligations or duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties hereunder. The Sub-Servicer and any Affiliate, director, member, officer, employee or agent of the Sub-Servicer may rely on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Sub-Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal or administrative action (whether in equity or at law), proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement or which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability not recoverable hereunder; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicer may, with the consent of the Master Servicer, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the legal expenses and all costs of such action and any loss, liability, penalty, fine, forfeiture, claim or judgment resulting therefrom, to the extent the Master Servicer may recover such amounts from the Trust Fund pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Master Servicer will be liable and the Sub-Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Master Servicer upon written demand. To the extent provided in Section 6.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability, penalty, fine, forfeiture, claim, judgment or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability, penalty, fine, forfeiture, claim, judgment or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) (i) incurred by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of obligations or duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties hereunder in each case by the Sub-Servicer, (ii) resulting from the breach by the Sub-Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein, or (iii) specifically required to be borne the Sub-Servicer without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof. The Sub-Servicer shall not have any rights of indemnification out of the Trust Fund except through the Master Servicer as described above.

 

Section 3.04     Sub-Servicer Resignation.

 

The Sub-Servicer may not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer and payment by the Sub-Servicer of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Master Servicer in connection with such resignation and transfer of servicing, or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Sub-Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Sub-Servicer because its duties are no longer permissible under applicable law shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer.

 

Section 3.05     No Transfer or Assignment of Servicing.

 

20
 

 

With respect to the responsibility of the Sub-Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Sub-Servicer acknowledges that the Master Servicer has acted in reliance upon the Sub-Servicer’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 3.05, the Sub-Servicer shall neither assign or transfer this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, without the prior written approval of the Master Servicer and the prior written consent of the Depositor, which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any assignment or transfer by the Sub-Servicer of this Agreement, the servicing hereunder or the delegation of any of the Sub-Servicer’s rights or duties hereunder or the delegation of any of the Sub-Servicer’s rights or duties hereunder (the “Sub-Servicing Rights”), the Sub-Servicer shall allow the Master Servicer an opportunity (but not an obligation) to bid on the purchase or assumption of such Sub-Servicing Rights. The Sub-Servicer may also solicit bids from any other parties independent of the Master Servicer. If after receipt by the Sub-Servicer of all bids, the Master Servicer is not the highest bidder, the Master Servicer shall be given the opportunity (but not the obligation) to submit a second bid, which bid shall be the final bid received by the Sub-Servicer and shall be given equal consideration by the Sub-Servicer with all other bids. The Sub-Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer upon the completion of any assignment (except to the Master Servicer as contemplated above) and provide any information, applicable to the Sub-Servicer, as required pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 3.06     Indemnification.

 

The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicer each agrees to and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, in the case of the Sub-Servicer, and the Sub-Servicer, in the case of the Master Servicer (including any of their Affiliates, directors, members, managers, officers, employees or agents) from and against any and all liability, claim, loss, out-of-pocket cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), penalty, expense or damage of the Master Servicer, in the case of the Sub-Servicer, and the Sub-Servicer, in the case of the Master Servicer (including any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents) resulting from (i) any breach by the indemnitor of a representation or warranty made by it herein, or (ii) any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence by the indemnitor in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations and duties; provided, that such indemnity shall not cover indirect or consequential damages. Each indemnified party hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnitor of matters which may give rise to liability of such indemnitor hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnitor of any liability except to the extent of actual prejudice. This Section 3.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sub-Servicer shall not have any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust Fund.

21
 

 

In case one or more of the following events (each a “Sub-Servicer Termination Event”) by the Sub-Servicer shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(viii)       a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Sub-Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or

 

(ix)          the Sub-Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Sub-Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

 

(x)           the Sub-Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations, or take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing; or

 

(xi)          the Sub-Servicer shall assign or transfer or attempt to assign or transfer all or part of its rights and obligations hereunder except as permitted by this Agreement; or

 

(xii)         any of Moody’s, Fitch or KBRA has (A) qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Certificates, or (B) placed one or more Classes of Certificates on “watch status” in contemplation of rating downgrade or withdrawal and, in the case of either of clauses (A) or (B), publicly citing servicing concerns with the Sub-Servicer as the sole or material factor in such rating action (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement has not been withdrawn by such Rating Agency, within 60 days of such event);

 

If any Sub-Servicer Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Sub-Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer or, with respect to any Sub-Servicer Termination Event under clause (iv) above, the Depositor, may terminate, by notice in writing to the Sub-Servicer, all of the rights and obligations of the Sub-Servicer as Sub-Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. From and after the receipt by the Sub-Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Sub-Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Master Servicer

 

23
 

 

is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Sub-Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Sub-Servicer agrees that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly (and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Master Servicer with all documents and records (including, without limitation, those in electronic form) requested by it to enable it to assume the Sub-Servicer’s functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the Sub-Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the assumption by a successor of the Sub-Servicer’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within one (1) Business Day to the Master Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Sub-Servicer to the Sub-Servicer Collection Account, any Collection Account or any Escrow Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans (provided, however, that the Sub-Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, and it and its Affiliates, directors, members, managers, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.03 and Section 3.06 of this Agreement notwithstanding any such termination).

 

In addition to any other rights the Master Servicer may have hereunder, if the Sub-Servicer fails to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts when required to be remitted hereunder, the Sub-Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on the amount of such late remittance at the Prime Rate, applied on a per diem basis for each day such remittance is late (i.e., said per annum rate divided by 365 multiplied by the number of days late); but in no event shall such interest be greater than the maximum amount permitted by law.

 

Section 4.02          Waiver of Defaults.

 

The Master Servicer may waive any default by the Sub-Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Sub-Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

 

Section 4.03          Other Remedies of Master Servicer.

 

During the continuance of any Sub-Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Sub-Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer, in addition to the rights specified in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, shall have the right, in its own name, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in

 

24
 

 

addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Sub-Servicer Termination Event.
