Section 5.01.          Primary Servicing Compensation.

 

(a)           As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Primary Servicer shall be entitled to receive (or retain from the Accounts, as applicable) the Primary Servicing Fee. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Primary Servicer shall be paid such Primary Servicing Fee at such times as, and only to the extent that, the Master Servicer receives its Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan under the PSA. Except as provided below, any reductions in the Servicing Fee that may be required under the PSA with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls shall not affect the amount of the Primary Servicing Fee payable to the Primary Servicer and, consequently, the Primary Servicer shall not be entitled to any Prepayment Interest Excess but shall be entitled to recover unpaid Primary Servicing Fees to the extent the Master Servicer is permitted to do so under the PSA. In the event of a breach of Section 2.03(a)(vii) by the Primary Servicer resulting in an obligation by the Master Servicer to pay a Prepayment Interest Shortfall, the Primary Servicer shall on or before 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Primary Servicer Remittance Date following such breach, remit to the Master Servicer, pursuant to wiring instructions from the Master Servicer, the amount of any such Prepayment Interest Shortfall provided that such amount shall not exceed the amount of such Prepayment Interest Shortfall that the Master Servicer is required to pay with respect to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to PSA Section 3.17(a).

 

(b)           The Primary Servicer shall also be entitled to retain, with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, as additional primary servicing compensation (the "Additional Primary Servicing Compensation"), the following:

(iii)        to the extent the Master Servicer is entitled to retain such amounts under the PSA and actually received such amounts, 100% of all Penalty Charges paid by the related Mortgagor (to the extent the Primary Servicer is performing the related collection work and to the extent not required to be offset against outstanding interest on Advances or certain additional Trust expenses set forth in Section 3.11(d) of the PSA);

 

(iv)        to the extent received and to the extent the Master Servicer is entitled to retain such amounts under the PSA and subject to Section 5.01(c) hereof, 50% of the Master Servicer’s share of any Excess Modification Fees, assumption fees, waiver fees, consent and earnout fees, review fees and similar fees; and

The Primary Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of the Master Servicer's share of any fees received by the Master Servicer with respect to any Special Servicer Decision and any Major Decision in connection with a Mortgage Loan regardless as to whether the Primary Servicer processes such action or not. The Special Servicer will process all (A) Special Servicer Decisions and (B) Major Decisions, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process such Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision. If the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision, the Primary Servicer shall process such Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision subject to the Master Servicer’s consent and any other consent required under the PSA.

 

(c)           Except as otherwise provided herein or in the PSA, the Primary Servicer shall pay all its overhead and similar expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder.

THE MASTER SERVICER AND THE PRIMARY SERVICER

 

Section 6.01.         Primary Servicer Not to Assign; Merger or Consolidation of the Primary Servicer.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01(b) hereof, or in Sections 2.02 or 3.02 hereof, the Primary Servicer shall not assign this Agreement for any reason or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof without the prior

 

 15

 

 

written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

(b)           The Primary Servicer shall not resign from its obligations and duties hereunder without giving the Master Servicer sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof or such lesser notice as may be acceptable to the Master Servicer to enable the Master Servicer to assume all of the Primary Servicer's rights, powers, duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that only fifteen (15) days prior written notice shall be required in connection with a resignation of the Primary Servicer as a result of the Master Servicer's failure to consent to any matters set forth in this Section 6.01.

 

(c)           The Primary Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person into which the Primary Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Primary Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Primary Servicer, shall be the successor of the Primary Servicer hereunder, provided that, in any such case, the Primary Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and such Person meets the requirements of the PSA; provided, however, that the Master Servicer’s consent shall not be required if the Primary Servicer is merged into or consolidated with a Qualified Affiliate or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to a Qualified Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Primary Servicer may not remain the Primary Servicer under this Agreement after (x) being merged or consolidated with or into any Person that is a Prohibited Party, or (y) transferring all or substantially all of its assets to any Person if such Person is a Prohibited Party, except to the extent (i) the Primary Servicer is the surviving entity of such merger, consolidation or transfer and has been and continues to be in compliance with its Regulation AB reporting obligations hereunder or (ii) the Master Servicer consents to such merger, consolidation or transfer. Such successor shall be deemed to have assumed all of the liabilities of the Primary Servicer hereunder, and upon written demand by the Master Servicer, such successor shall be required to promptly execute and deliver to the Master Servicer an agreement which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed and observed by the Primary Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Primary Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in the event the Primary Servicer becomes an Affiliate of the Trustee.

 

Section 6.02.          Liability and Indemnification of the Primary Servicer and the Master Servicer.

 

(a)                None of the Primary Servicer nor any partners, directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees or agents of the Primary Servicer (the “Primary Servicer Parties”) 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 Parties against losses resulting from any breach of its warranties or representations made herein, or against any liability that would otherwise be imposed on the Primary Servicer by reason of the Primary Servicer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence (or by reason of any specific liability imposed on the Primary Servicer pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof for a breach of the

 

 16

 

 

Accepted Primary Servicing Practices) in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its negligent disregard of its obligations or duties hereunder. 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. The Primary Servicer Parties may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any appropriate Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

 

(b)           The Primary Servicer Parties shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Master Servicer any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal or administrative action (whether in equity or at law) or claim relating to this Agreement (collectively, the "Losses") incurred by Primary Servicer (i) resulting from (A) any breach by the Master Servicer of a representation or warranty made by it herein or (B) the Master Servicer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its obligations and duties hereunder or negligent disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder or (ii) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in connection with, related to, or arising out of, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than any Losses incurred by the Primary Servicer (A) that are specifically required to be borne by the Primary Servicer without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof or (B) incurred by reason of (1) a breach of any representation or warranty by the Primary Servicer, or (2) willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Primary Servicer in the performance of its respective obligations or duties hereunder or negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the indemnification under clause (ii) above shall be strictly limited to any actual amount of indemnification received by the Master Servicer under the PSA as a result of pursuing the Trust on behalf of the Primary Servicer for such indemnification. The Master Servicer agrees to use reasonable efforts to pursue the Trust for any indemnification against any Losses incurred by the Primary Servicer under clause (ii) above.

 

(c)           The Primary Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, except in the case of a legal action the costs of which such party is specifically required hereunder to bear, in its option does not involve it in any ultimate expense or liability for which it would not be reimbursed hereunder.

 

(d)           The Master Servicer and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager, employee or agent of the Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Primary Servicer against any Losses incurred by the Master Servicer in connection with any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal or administrative action (whether in equity or at law) or claim relating to this Agreement resulting from (i) any breach by the Primary Servicer of a representation or warranty made by it herein or (ii) any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence by the Primary Servicer in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations or duties. The Master Servicer and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, employee, member, manager or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted

 

 17

 

 

by any appropriate Person (including, without limitation, the Special Servicer) respecting any matters arising hereunder.

 

(e)           The Primary Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless each Certification Party and the Master Servicer and any officers, directors and Affiliates of the Master Servicer 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 incurred by such indemnified party arising out of (i) a breach of the Primary Servicer's obligation to provide any of the annual compliance statements or annual assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria 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 Primary Servicer to comply with the obligations of a Servicing Function Participant under the PSA, (iv) any failure by it, as a Servicer (as defined in Section 11.02(b) of the PSA) to identify a Servicing Function Participant pursuant to Section 11.02(c) of the PSA; or (v) delivery of any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable.

 

In addition, the Primary Servicer shall cooperate (and require each Servicing Function Participant and Additional Servicer retained by it to cooperate under any applicable sub-subservicing agreement) with the Master Servicer, the Depositor and each Other Depositor as necessary for the Master Servicer, the Depositor or such Other Depositor, as applicable, to conduct any reasonable due diligence necessary to evaluate and assess any material instances of non-compliance disclosed in any of the deliverables required by the applicable Reporting Requirements.

 

In connection with comments provided to the Depositor from the Commission or its staff 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 the Primary Servicer 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, upon receipt of such comments from the Depositor, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide to the Primary Servicer any such comments which relate to the Primary Servicer. Primary Servicer shall be responsible for timely preparing a written response to the Commission or its staff for inclusion in the Depositor’s or the Master Servicer's, as applicable, response to the Commission or its staff, unless Primary Servicer elects, with the consent of the Depositor and the Master Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably denied, withheld or delayed), to directly communicate with the Commission or its staff and negotiate a response and/or resolution with the Commission or its staff; provided that if the Primary Servicer (or a sub-subservicer retained by the Primary Servicer) is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, the Primary Servicer shall provide copies to the Master Servicer of all material communications pursuant to this paragraph. If such election is made, the Primary Servicer shall be responsible for directly negotiating such response and/or resolution with the Commission or its staff 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 or its staff and copy the Depositor and the Master Servicer on all correspondence with the Commission or its staff 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

 

 18

 

 

Commission or its staff 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 or its staff with respect to any comments received from the Commission or its staff relating to Primary Servicer and to notify the Commission or its staff 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 or its staff 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 (other than those costs and expenses required to be at the Depositor's expense as set forth above) and any amendments to any reports filed with the Commission or its staff 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. The Primary Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by it to comply with the foregoing by inclusion of similar provisions in the related sub-subservicing or similar agreement. Upon resolution with the Commission, and subject to the reimbursement of any applicable expenses under Section 11.15 of the PSA, Primary Servicer shall promptly provide to each Other Depositor and the Master Servicer the appropriate revised reports, updated or revised information contained in any report filed by the Other Depositor under the Reporting Requirements, or any updated or revised material communications in connection with the response and/or resolution with the Commission or its staff, if and to the extent such reports, information and/or communications relate to information that was previously provided to the Other Depositor and would reasonably be expected to be contained in a report filed by the Other Depositor under the Reporting Requirements of an Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.02(e) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Certification Party, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any partners, directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees or agents of any Certification Party, the 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 liability, claim, loss, cost (including reasonable attorney’s fees), penalty, expense, judgment, fee, fine, forfeiture or damage 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 Article XI of the PSA, this Agreement or the Primary Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. The Primary Servicer shall cause any subservicer with which it enters into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans to agree to the foregoing indemnification and contribution obligations.

 

(f)            The indemnification, exculpation, and other protections and provisions in this Section 6.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer.

(b)           The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Primary Servicer, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Primary Servicer, do not (i) violate the Primary Servicer’s organizational documents, (ii) constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other material instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or any of its assets or (iii) violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Primary Servicer or its property is subject, which, in the case of either (ii) or (iii), is likely to materially and adversely affect either the ability of the Primary Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition;

 20

 

 

to materially and adversely affect either the ability of the Primary Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of the Primary Servicer;

 

(f)            No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Primary Servicer’s knowledge, threatened against the Primary Servicer which would prohibit the Primary Servicer from entering into this Agreement, or, in the Primary Servicer’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Primary Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

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 Primary Servicer Termination Event. On or after the receipt by the Primary Servicer of such written notice of termination from the Master Servicer, all authority and power of the Primary Servicer in this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer, and the Primary Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the Primary Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the remittance of funds and the transfers of the Primary Servicing Files as set forth in Section 7.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any termination of the Primary Servicer, the Primary Servicer will be entitled to receive all accrued and unpaid Primary Servicing Fees and Additional Primary Servicing Compensation through the date of termination.

 

(b)           Upon discovery by the Primary Servicer of any Primary Servicer Termination Event (but regardless of whether any notice has been given as provided in this Agreement or any cure period provided herein has expired), the Primary Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Master Servicer.

 

(c)           The Master Servicer may waive in writing 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 Primary 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.

 

(d)           The Primary Servicer shall not be or become Risk Retention Affiliated with or a Risk Retention Affiliate of any Successor Third-Party Purchaser. If the Primary Servicer is or becomes Risk Retention Affiliated with or a Risk Retention Affiliate of any Successor Third-Party Purchaser, the Primary Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Primary Servicer shall be terminated as Primary Servicer under this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(ii) below.

 

Section 7.02.          Termination of Agreement.

 

(a)           This Agreement shall be terminated with respect to the Primary Servicer:

 

(i)          pursuant to Section 3.20 of the PSA and Section 7.01 hereof, if the Master Servicer elects to terminate the Primary Servicer following a Primary Servicer Termination Event (except as provided in clause (iii) below);

 

 24

 

 

(ii)         promptly following the Primary Servicer being or becoming Risk Retention Affiliated with or a Risk Retention Affiliate of any Successor Third-Party Purchaser;

 

(iii)        immediately by the Master Servicer (or at the Depositor's request to the extent that the Depositor has the right to request termination of the Primary Servicer under the PSA) pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(xi) and (xii) hereof and PSA Section 3.20(a)(ix);

 

(iv)        upon resignation by the Primary Servicer as provided in Section 6.01 hereof;

 

(v)         with respect to any Mortgage Loan, in the event such Mortgage Loan is substituted or defeased pursuant to PSA Sections 2.03 and 3.18;

 

(vi)        at the option of the Master Servicer in its sole discretion with respect to any Mortgage Loan in the event such Mortgage Loan is purchased or repurchased pursuant to PSA Section 2.03, 3.16 or 9.01; or

 

(vii)       if the Master Servicer's responsibilities and duties as Master Servicer under the PSA have been assumed by the Trustee, and the Trustee exercises it right to terminate the Primary Servicer pursuant to PSA Section 3.20. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall constitute a "Sub-Servicing Agreement" as defined under the PSA and Primary Servicer shall be deemed an "Initial Sub-Servicer" as defined under the PSA.

 

(b)           If the Master Servicer's responsibilities and duties as Master Servicer under the PSA have been assumed by the Trustee, the Trustee shall, without act or deed on the part of the Trustee, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement as provided in PSA Section 3.20, and the Primary Servicer shall be bound to the Trustee under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement with the same force and effect as if the Trustee was originally the Master Servicer under this Agreement; and the Primary Servicer does hereby attorn to the Trustee, as the Master Servicer hereunder, said attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments on the part of any of the parties hereto immediately upon the Trustee succeeding to the interest of the Master Servicer hereunder. The Primary Servicer agrees, however, upon written demand by the Trustee to promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in confirmation of the foregoing provisions, satisfactory to the Trustee, in which the Primary Servicer shall acknowledge such attornment and shall confirm to the Trustee its agreement to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. References to the Trustee in this Section 7.02(b) shall be deemed to include the Trustee's designee or any other successor to the Master Servicer.

 

(c)           Termination pursuant to this Section or as otherwise provided herein shall be without prejudice to any rights of the Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer which may have accrued through the date of termination hereunder, including rights to be paid and reimbursed any outstanding Primary Servicing Fees and Additional Primary Servicing Compensation. In connection with any such termination, the terminated Primary Servicer shall (i) remit all funds in

 

 25

 

 

the related Primary Servicer Accounts to the Master Servicer or such other Person designated by the Master Servicer, net of accrued Primary Servicing Fees and Additional Primary Servicing Compensation through the termination date which are due and payable to the Primary Servicer, (ii) deliver all related Primary Servicing Files to the Master Servicer or to Persons designated by the Master Servicer, and (iii) fully cooperate with the Master Servicer to effectuate an orderly transition of the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans. All rights of the terminated Primary Servicer relating to the following after such termination shall continue in full force and effect until payment or other satisfaction in accordance with this Agreement or termination of the Trust: (y) indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof; and (z) the payment of its Primary Servicing Fees and Additional Primary Servicing Compensation which in any such case accrued under the terms of this Agreement on or before the date of such termination shall continue in full force and effect until payment or other satisfaction in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 8.01.          Rating Agency Communications.

 

(a)           The Primary Servicer shall not provide any information directly to, or communicate with, either orally or in writing, any Rating Agency or any NRSRO regarding the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans relevant to such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO's surveillance of the Certificates or Mortgage Loans, including, but not limited to, providing responses to inquiries from a Rating Agency or NRSRO regarding the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans relevant to such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO's surveillance of the Certificates and requests for Rating Agency Confirmation. All such information will be provided by, and all such communications, responses and requests will be made by, the Master Servicer in accordance with the procedures required by the PSA. To the extent that the Master Servicer is required to provide any information to, or communicate with, any Rating Agency or NRSRO in accordance with its obligations under the PSA and such information or communication is regarding the Mortgage Loans or the primary servicing by the Primary Servicer under this Agreement, the Primary Servicer shall provide the information to the Master Servicer necessary for the Master Servicer to fulfill such obligations. The Primary Servicer shall have no liability with regard to the Master Servicer's failure to provide to the Depositor or any other party any information, reports and certificates the Master Servicer is required to delivery under the PSA unless such failure is the result of the Primary Servicer's failure to meet its obligations hereunder. None of the foregoing restrictions in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Primary Servicer, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency or NRSRO, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s review of the ratings it assigns to the Primary Servicer, (ii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s approval of the Primary Servicer as a commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer or (iii) such Rating Agency's or NRSRO’s evaluation of the Primary Servicer's servicing operations in general; provided, that the Primary Servicer shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans to any Rating Agency or NRSRO in connection with such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency or NRSRO unless (x) Mortgagor, property and other deal specific identifiers are redacted; (y) such information has already been provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider and has been uploaded on to the 17g-5 Information Provider's

 

 26

 

 

Website; or (z) the Rating Agency confirms in writing that it does not intend to use such information in undertaking credit rating surveillance with respect to the Certificates (and the Primary Servicer shall, upon request, certify to the Depositor and the Master Servicer that it received the confirmation described in this clause (z) or provide the Depositor and the Master Servicer with a copy of such confirmation from the applicable Rating Agency); provided, however, that the Rating Agencies may use information delivered in reliance on the certification provided in this clause (z) for any purpose to the extent it is publicly available (unless the availability results from a breach of this Agreement, the PSA or any other confidentiality agreement to which such rating agency is subject) or comprised of information collected by the applicable Rating Agency from the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website (or another 17g-5 information provider’s website such Rating Agency has access to) (in each case, subject to any agreement governing the use of such information, including any engagement letter with the Depositor or any other applicable depositor) other than pursuant to Section 3.13(i) of the PSA or this Section 8.01(a).

 

(b)           The Primary Servicer hereby expressly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and its respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, Affiliates and controlling persons, and the Trust Fund (each, an "Indemnified Party"), from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, judgments, costs, fees, penalties, fines, forfeitures or other expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, pursuant to a third-party claim, insofar as such losses, liabilities, damages, claims, judgments, costs, fees, penalties, fines, forfeitures or other expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) arise out of or are based upon the Primary Servicer’s breach of this Section 8.01 (including, without limitation, a determination by a Rating Agency that it cannot reasonably rely on representations made by the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 17g-5(a)(3), but solely to the extent such determination is caused by a breach of this Section 8.01 by the Primary Servicer), and will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, as such expenses are incurred.

 

Section 8.02.         Amendment.

 

This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and may be amended from time to time by the Master Servicer and the Primary Servicer only by written agreement executed by the party or parties against whom the enforcement of such amendment is sought. Master Servicer shall not consent to any modification to the PSA in any manner which would increase the obligations or limit the rights of the Primary Servicer under the PSA or under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Primary Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
