Servicing of the Mortgage Loans Section 3.01.
Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee for the related Non-Serviced Trust), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

Any applicable Termination Fee related to the termination of the related Servicer and the appointment of any Special Servicer shall be paid by the Seller from its own funds, without right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund. Any fees paid to any such Special Servicer shall not exceed the Servicing Fee Rate.
Relief Act Mortgage Loans As to any Relief Act Mortgage Loan, the excess of (i) 30 days' interest (or, in the case of a principal prepayment in full, interest to the date of prepayment) on the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof (or, in the case of a principal prepayment in part, on the amount so prepaid) at the related Net Rate over (ii) 30 days' interest (or, in the case of a principal prepayment in full, interest to the date of prepayment) on such Scheduled Principal Balance (or, in the case of a Principal Prepayment in part, on the amount so prepaid) at the Net Rate required to be paid by the Mortgagor as limited by application of the Relief Act.
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans To the extent and for so long as the Class B Certificates of a Series are outstanding and the Class B Holder owns at least 75% of the most subordinate outstanding class of the Class B Certificates of such Series (calculated by dividing the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class B Certificates by the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of all certificates of the same class), Delinquent Mortgage Loans of the related Series may, at the option of the Class B Holder, be designated in writing by the Class B Holder as Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and transferred to the Special Servicer for servicing. The Special Servicer shall service the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement [and the Servicer Guide]. Following the designation of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan as a Specially Serviced Loan, the Company shall transfer servicing of such Delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer substantially in the manner set forth herein and in Schedule II hereto. [The parties hereto agree that any fees resulting from the transfer of the servicing of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan from the Company or a subservicer to the Special Servicer (or any successor thereto) shall be the obligation of the Company.] As of the Effective Date (as defined below) of each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall succeed to and undertake all rights, duties and obligations of the prior servicer (including, without limitation, the making of advances, any right to purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at the purchase price set forth in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the right to receive the servicing fee with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement [and the terms and conditions of the Servicer Guide]. With respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the effective date (the "Effective Date") shall be the first day of the month immediately following the month of designation of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as such, provided that such written designation is received by the Company on or prior to the 15th calendar day of such month. Once a Delinquent Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, such Delinquent Mortgage Loan shall remain a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and shall continue to be serviced by the Special Servicer, until the earlier of the liquidation or other disposition of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the termination of this Agreement, regardless of delinquency status, whether the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property or otherwise; provided, however, that if the Company exercises its right as Master Servicer to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans in a Trust Fund pursuant to an optional termination provision under the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the servicing of any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans with respect to which foreclosure proceedings have not been commenced shall be transferred promptly by the Special Servicer in accordance with written instructions from the Company. If the Class B Holder (i) transfers such percentage interest in any Class B Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns less than 75% of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such class, or (ii) purchases such percentage interest in any Class B Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns 75% or more of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such class, the Class B Holder shall promptly notify the Company and the Special Servicer in writing of any such transfer or acquisition. Upon receipt of written notice from the Class B Holder, the Company or the Class B Holder shall revise Schedule I hereto to reflect any such transfer or acquisition and shall forward promptly a copy of such revised schedule to the Company or the Class B Holder, as applicable, and the Special Servicer. With respect to the purchase of at least 75% of the Class B Certificates of any Series by the Class B Holder after the date hereof, this Agreement shall be effective as of the date such written notice of acquisition is received by the Company. If and to the extent the Company is permitted to purchase Delinquent Mortgage Loans under the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class B Holder may direct the Company to purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and to promptly resell such Mortgage Loan to the Class B Holder at the price and on the terms set forth in such Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event the Class B Holder directs the Company to purchase a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as permitted under this Section, the Company shall promptly take all action necessary under the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to accomplish such purchase (i.e. provide notification to the Trustee and/or Custodian) and to resell such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Class B Holder. The Class B Holder, and not the Company, shall be required to remit the purchase price for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the related Trustee. The Company will inform the Trustee in writing of the purchase of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by the Class B Holder and further shall promptly take all actions necessary or desirable to effect the conveyance of such Mortgage Loan and the related servicing rights to the Class B Holder or its designee, time being of the essence. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall (i) in no event be obligated to effect any cure or remedy in connection with a deficiency in the documentation for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the extent such deficiency existed at the time such Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) have any responsibility for any obligations, duties, or liabilities of the Company with respect to the servicing of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that arose prior to the related Effective Date for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, other than those which would customarily be assumed after the Effective Date.
