(1)           Section 2.03.

The Master Servicer shall promptly provide a copy of the CGMRC Loan Purchase Agreement to the Primary Servicer. The Primary Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in writing within five (5) Business Days after the Primary Servicer discovers or receives notice alleging a Document Defect or a Breach or receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection or receives a Certificateholder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request. The Primary Servicer shall promptly provide to the Master Servicer a copy of any written Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase, Repurchase Request Rejection, Certificateholder Repurchase Request or PSA Party Repurchase Request received by the Primary Servicer and such other information in the possession of the Primary Servicer reasonably requested by the Master Servicer to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 2.05(a)(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be deemed modified to read “The Primary Servicer is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the Primary Servicer is in compliance with the laws of each jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement.”

(4)           Sections 3.01(c), (d) and (k). References to the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be references to the Primary Servicer for purposes of Sections 3.01(c) and (d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Primary 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 Primary Servicer or an Affiliate of the Primary 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.

If the Primary Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant, such certification shall also be provided to the Certifying Person by the time required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and if the Primary Servicer is not a Servicing Function Participant, such certification shall be delivered only to the Master Servicer.

The Primary Servicer shall not be required to cause the delivery of any such statement until five (5) Business Days prior to March 1 in any given year so long as it has received written confirmation from the Depositor or the Master Servicer that a report on Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding calendar year.

 

The Primary Servicer (without regard to whether the Primary Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or Reporting Servicer) shall deliver the items required under Sections 10.09 and 10.10 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement regarding itself (the “report on an assessment of compliance with Relevant Servicing Criteria” and “accountants’ report”) to the Master Servicer at least five (5) Business Days before the Master Servicer must deliver its Sections 10.09 and 10.10 items.

The Primary Servicer may rely on any such notice, without any independent investigation or inquiry.

 

Section 10.12 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be incorporated herein and apply to the Primary Servicer for so long as the Primary Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer. In connection with comments provided to the Depositor from the Commission regarding information (x) delivered by the Primary Servicer, (y) regarding the Primary Servicer and (z) prepared by the Primary Servicer or any registered public accounting firm, attorney or other agent retained by such party to prepare such information, which information is contained in a report filed by the Depositor under the Reporting Requirements and which comments are received subsequent to the Depositor’s filing of such report, the Depositor is required pursuant to Section 10.12 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to promptly provide to the Primary Servicer any such comments which related to the Primary Servicer. Primary Servicer shall be responsible for timely preparing a written response to the Commission for inclusion in the Depositor’s or the Master Servicer’s, as applicable, response to the Commission, unless Primary Servicer elects, with the consent of the Master Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably denied, withheld or delayed), to directly communication with the Commission and negotiate a response and/or resolution with the Commission. If such election is made, the Primary Servicer shall be responsible for directly negotiating such response and/or resolution with the Commission in a timely manner; provided, that (i) Primary Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to keep the Depositor and the Master Servicer informed of its progress with the Commission and copy the Depositor and the Master Servicer on all correspondence with the Commission and provide the Depositor and the Master Servicer with the opportunity to participate (at the Depositor’s or Master Servicer’s, as applicable, expense) in any telephone conferences and meetings with the Commission and (ii) the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Primary Servicer in order to authorize the Primary Servicer and its representatives to respond to and negotiate directly with the Commission with respect to any comments received from the Commission or its staff relating to Primary Servicer and to notify the Commission of such authorization. The Master Servicer and the Primary Servicer shall cooperate and coordinate with each other with respect to any requests made to the Commission for any extension of time for submitting a response or compliance. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor and the Master Servicer (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel to the Depositor and the Master Servicer) in connection with the foregoing and any amendments to any reports filed with the Commission therewith shall be promptly paid by the Primary Servicer upon receipt of an itemized invoice from the Depositor and/or the Master Servicer, as applicable.

 

16
 

 

Following its receipt of notice from the Certificate Administrator that it has filed a form to suspend reporting obligations with respect to the Trust as contemplated by Section 10.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall provide such notice to the Primary Servicer; provided, however, failure to so notify shall not be considered an Event of Default under this Agreement.

 

Subject to other provisions of this Agreement restricting the right of the Primary Servicer to retain subservicers or subcontractors, the provisions of Article X regarding retaining a “Primary Servicer,” “Subcontractor,” “Additional Servicer” or “Servicing Function Participant” shall be applicable to any Primary Servicer, subcontractor or agent hired by the Primary Servicer to perform any of its obligations hereunder and the Primary Servicer shall comply with such provisions.

 

If at any time the Primary Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant, the Primary Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, each Certification Party, the Depositor, each Other Depositor, any employee, director or officer of the Depositor or any Other Depositor, and each other person, if any, who controls the Depositor or any Other Depositor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses (including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation) incurred by such indemnified party arising out of (i) a breach of its obligations to provide any of the annual compliance statements or annual servicing criteria compliance reports or attestation reports pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part in the performance of such obligations, (iii) any failure by a Servicer (as defined in Section 10.02(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) to identify a Servicing Function Participant pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (iv) any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable with respect to such Servicing Function Participant.

 

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.01(c)(32) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Certification Party, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, any Other Depositor, any employee, director or officer of the Depositor, any Other Depositor or the Master Servicer, then the Primary Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to the indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party on the one hand and the Primary Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Primary Servicer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.01(c)(32).

 

It is hereby acknowledged that, as of the Closing Date, the Primary Servicer is not a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer. The Master Servicer shall notify the Primary Servicer if the Primary Servicer becomes a Servicing Function Participant. For purposes of its obligations under this Agreement, the Primary Servicer shall not be considered a Servicing Function Participant until such time as the Primary Servicer has been notified that it is a Servicing Function Participant.

Section 3.02     Merger or Consolidation of the Primary Servicer.

 

The Primary Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of its formation except as permitted herein, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign limited liability company in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

 

Any Person into which the Primary Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Primary Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business or substantially all of the servicing business of the Primary Servicer, shall be the successor of the Primary Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person (i) must be a company whose business includes the servicing of mortgage loans and shall be authorized to transact business in each state in which the Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, (ii) must be acceptable to the Master Servicer (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (iii) shall assume in writing the obligations of the Primary Servicer under this Agreement.

 

Section 3.03     Limitation on Liability of the Primary Servicer and Others.

 

Neither the Primary Servicer nor any of the Affiliates, directors, members, managers, officers, employees or agents of the Primary Servicer shall be under any liability to the Master 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 Primary 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 Primary Servicer and any Affiliate, director, member, officer, employee or agent of the Primary 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 Primary 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 Primary Servicer may, with the consent of the Master Servicer, undertake any such action which it may deem

 

18
 

 

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 Primary Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Master Servicer upon written demand.

 

Section 3.04     Primary Servicer Resignation.

 

The Primary Servicer may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Master Servicer, or by mutual consent of the Primary Servicer and the Master Servicer, or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Primary Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Primary 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.

 

With respect to the responsibility of the Primary Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Primary Servicer acknowledges that the Master Servicer has acted in reliance upon the Primary 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 Primary Servicer shall neither assign or transfer this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, nor sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, 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 Primary Servicer of this Agreement, the servicing hereunder or the delegation of any of the Primary Servicer’s rights or duties hereunder or the delegation of any of the Primary Servicer’s rights or duties hereunder (the “Primary Servicing Rights”), the Primary Servicer shall allow the Master Servicer an opportunity (but not an obligation) to bid on the purchase or assumption of such Primary Servicing Rights. The Primary Servicer may also solicit bids from any other parties independent of the Master Servicer. If after receipt by the Primary 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 Primary Servicer and shall be given equal consideration by the Primary Servicer with all other bids. The Primary 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 Primary Servicer, as required per Section 10.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 3.06     Indemnification.

 

19
 

 

The Master Servicer and the Primary Servicer each agrees to and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, in the case of the Primary Servicer, and the Primary 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 Primary Servicer, and the Primary 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, (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 or (iii) any breach by the indemnitor of its obligations to provide any of the annual compliance statements or annual assessment of servicing criteria or attestation reports pursuant to Sections 10.08, 10.09 or 10.10 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; 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 Primary Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Primary Servicer shall not have any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust Fund.

(xiii)   the Primary Servicer ceases to have a Primary Servicer rating of at least “CPS3” from Fitch and that rating is not reinstated within 60 days.

 

If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer or, with respect to any Event of Default under clause (iv) above, the Depositor, may terminate, by notice in writing to the Primary Servicer, all of the rights and obligations of the Primary Servicer as Primary Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. From and after the receipt by the Primary Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Primary 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 is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Primary 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 Primary Servicer agrees that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) 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 Primary Servicer’s functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the Primary Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the assumption by a successor of the Primary 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 Primary Servicer to the Primary Servicer Collection Account, any Collection Account, any Escrow

 

22
 

 

Account or any REO Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that the Primary 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 directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.03 of this Agreement notwithstanding any such termination).

 

In addition to any other rights the Master Servicer may have hereunder, if the Primary Servicer fails to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts when required to be remitted hereunder, the Primary 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 Primary 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 Event of Default 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 Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default 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 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 Event of Default.

Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.

It is the intention of the parties that the Master Servicer is conveying, and the Primary Servicer is receiving, only a contract for servicing the Mortgage Loans.

Section 6.19     Non-Solicitation.

 

Without the prior written consent of the Primary Servicer, the Master Servicing Group (as defined below) shall not disclose to any Person employed by the Master Servicer or an Affiliate thereof that is part of a business unit that originates or refinances mortgage loans any information that the Master Servicing Group has received or obtained or generated or is otherwise in its possession as a result of its acting as Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, without the prior written consent of the Primary Servicer, the Master Servicing Group shall not take any direct action, nor will it direct a third party to take any action, to refinance or solicit the refinancing of any Mortgage Loan.
