Mortgage Loans as Described The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;
REO Property A Mortgaged Property acquired by the Servicer on behalf of the Trustee through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, as described in Section 3.17.
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.
Title to REO Property; REO Account (a) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired (and thus becomes REO Property), the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued in the name of the Trust where permitted by applicable law or regulation and consistent with customary servicing procedures, and otherwise, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holders. REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.16. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies for an extension of time no later than sixty (60) days prior to the close of the third calendar year in which it acquired ownership (or the period provided in the then applicable REMIC Provisions) and such extension is granted or is not denied (an “REO Extension”) by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest or Certificate is outstanding. If the Special Servicer is granted or not denied the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall be an expense of the Trust Fund payable out of the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).
Special Servicing of Delinquent Mortgage Loans If permitted under the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Seller may appoint, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and with the written consent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any NIMS Insurer, a Special Servicer to special service any Distressed Mortgage Loans. 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.
Conveyance of Subsequent Mortgage Loans (a) The Depositor does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund, without recourse, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, and including all amounts due on the Subsequent Mortgage Loans after the related Subsequent Cut-off Date, and all items with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however that the Depositor reserves and retains all right, title and interest in and to amounts due on the Subsequent Mortgage Loans on or prior to the related Subsequent Cut-off Date. The Depositor, contemporaneously with the delivery of this Agreement, has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee each item set forth in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The transfer to the Trustee by the Depositor of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be absolute and is intended by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificateholders to constitute and to be treated as a sale by the Depositor to the Trust Fund.
Conveyance of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below in consideration of the Trustee's delivery on the Subsequent Transfer Dates to or upon the order of the Depositor of all or a portion of the balance of funds in the Pre-Funding Account, the Depositor shall on any Subsequent Transfer Date sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey without recourse to the Trust Fund but subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement all of the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to (i) the Subsequent Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Subsequent Transfer Instrument delivered by the Depositor on such Subsequent Transfer Date, (ii) principal due and interest accruing on the Subsequent Mortgage Loans after the related Subsequent Cut-off Date and (iii) all items with respect to such Subsequent Mortgage Loans to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 and the other items in the related Mortgage Files; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Depositor reserves and retains all right, title and interest in and to principal received and interest accruing on the Subsequent Mortgage Loans prior to the related Subsequent Cut-off Date. The transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the Mortgage Pool by the Depositor of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be absolute and is intended by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificateholders to constitute and to be treated as a sale of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trust Fund. The related Mortgage File for each Subsequent Mortgage Loan shall be delivered to the Trustee at least three Business Days prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Date. The purchase price paid by the Trustee from amounts released from the Pre-Funding Account shall be one-hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans so transferred (as identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule provided by the Depositor). This Agreement shall constitute a fixed-price purchase contract in accordance with Section 860G(a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code.
Special Serviced Mortgage Loans If directed by the Special Servicer and solely at the Special Servicer’s option, each Servicer, other than WMMSC (a “Transferring Servicer”), shall transfer the servicing of any Mortgage Loan (other than a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan) 90 days or more delinquent to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Transferring Servicer, as Servicer, hereunder arising thereafter and the Transferring Servicer shall have no further rights or obligations, as Servicer, hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loan (except that the Special Servicer shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Transferring Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof or for any acts or omissions of the Transferring Servicer hereunder prior to the servicing transfer date, (ii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof or (iii) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Transferring Servicer hereunder). Upon the transfer of the servicing of any such Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and other compensation accruing after the servicing transfer date with respect to such Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.14. In connection with the transfer of the servicing of any Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, the Transferring Servicer, at the Special Servicer’s expense, shall deliver to the Special Servicer all documents and records relating to such Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing to the Special Servicer. On the servicing transfer date, the Special Servicer shall reimburse the Transferring Servicer for all unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees relating to the Mortgage Loans for which the servicing is being transferred. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.08 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement for all such Advances, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees paid by the Transferring Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.19. In addition, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of such transfer and the effective date of such transfer, and amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect that such Mortgage Loans are Special Serviced Mortgage Loans.
Real Property; Assets (a) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any real property.
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.
