Application of Funds in the Collection Account The Master Servicer may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made, withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following purposes:
(i) to reimburse itself or any Servicer for Advances made by it or by such Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04 or the applicable Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Master Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause is limited to amounts received on or in respect of particular Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and amounts representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to the property subject to the related Mortgage) which represent late recoveries (net of the applicable Servicing Fee and the Master Servicing Fee) of payments of principal or interest respecting which any such Advance was made; provided, further, that following the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer may reimburse itself for previously unreimbursed Advances in excess of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loans from any funds in the Collection Account, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement, that the Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;
(ii) to reimburse itself or any Servicer for any Servicing Advances made by it or by such Servicer that it or such Servicer determines in good faith will not be recoverable from amounts representing late recoveries of payments of principal or interest respecting the particular Mortgage Loan as to which such Servicing Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement, that such Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;
(iii) to reimburse itself or any Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses and for amounts expended by it pursuant to Sections 9.20 and 9.22(a) or the applicable Servicing Agreement in good faith in connection with the restoration of damaged property and, to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds after such reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate less the applicable Servicing Fee and the Master Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan to the Due Date next succeeding the date of its receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds, to pay to itself out of such excess the amount of any unpaid assumption fees, late payment charges or other Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage Loan and to retain any excess remaining thereafter as additional servicing compensation, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that such Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;
(iv) to reimburse itself or any Servicer for expenses incurred by and recoverable by or reimbursable to it or such Servicer pursuant to Section 9.04, 9.05, 9.06, 9.16 or 9.22(a) or pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, and to reimburse itself for any expenses reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 10.01(c);
(v) to pay to the applicable Person, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or REO Property acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased by such Person pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not distributed on the date on which the related repurchase was effected;
(vi) subject to Section 5.05, to pay to itself income earned on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account;
(vii) to make payments to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.01(c);
(viii) to make distributions of any Retained Interest to the Retained Interest Holder on each Distribution Date (other than any Retained Interest not deposited into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.01(d)(iii));
(ix) to make payment to itself, the Trustee and others pursuant to any provision of this Agreement;
(x) to withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection Account;
(xi) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 7.02;
(xii) to reimburse a successor Master Servicer (solely in its capacity as successor Master Servicer), for any fee or advance occasioned by a termination of the Master Servicer, and the assumption of such duties by the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14, in each case to the extent not reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that the right of the Master Servicer or the Trustee thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders; and
(xiii) to reimburse any Servicer for such amounts as are due thereto under the applicable Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to such Servicer to the extent provided in such Servicing Agreement. If provided in the related Servicing Agreement, each Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any Prepayment Interest Excess (to the extent not offset by Prepayment Interest Shortfalls). In the event that the Master Servicer fails on any Deposit Date to remit to the Trustee any amounts required to be so remitted to the Trustee pursuant to subclause (vii) by 12 noon (New York time) on such date, the Master Servicer shall pay the Trustee, for the account of the Trustee, interest calculated at the “prime rate” (as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal) on such amounts not timely remitted for the period from and including that Deposit Date to but not including the related Distribution Date. In connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi) above, the Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, except as provided herein. The Master Servicer shall therefore keep and maintain a separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan it master services for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account it maintains pursuant to subclauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi) above.
Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts; Reserve Accounts (a) The Master Servicer shall, as to all Serviced Mortgage Loans, establish and maintain one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), in which all related Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained; provided that, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, if the related Servicing Account includes funds with respect to any other Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the Master Servicer shall maintain a separate sub-account of such Servicing Account that relates solely to such Serviced Loan Combination. Subject to the terms of the related loan documents, each Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. Withdrawals of amounts so collected from a Servicing Account may be made (in each case, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein in respect of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or, in the case of clauses (iv) and (v) below, to the extent of interest or other income earned on such amounts) only for the following purposes: (i) consistent with the related loan documents, to effect the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums (including premiums on any Environmental Insurance Policy), ground rents (if applicable) and comparable items in respect of the respective Mortgaged Properties; (ii) insofar as the particular Escrow Payment represents a late payment that was intended to cover an item described in the immediately preceding clause (i) for which a Servicing Advance was made, to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or any Fiscal Agent, as applicable, for such Servicing Advance; (iii) to refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) following an event of default under the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, for such other purposes as are consistent with the related loan documents, applicable law and the Servicing Standard; (v) to pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in such Servicing Account; (vi) to pay the Master Servicer interest and investment income on balances in such Servicing Account as described in Section 3.06, if and to the extent not required by law or the terms of the related loan documents to be paid to the Mortgagor; or (vii) to clear and terminate such Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. To the extent permitted by law or the applicable loan documents, funds in the Servicing Accounts may be invested only in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagors interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in the related Servicing Accounts, if required by law or the terms of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in a Servicing Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, as to each and every Serviced Mortgage Loan, (i) maintain accurate records with respect to the related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof and (ii) use reasonable efforts to obtain, from time to time, all bills for (or otherwise confirm) the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and, if the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to escrow for such items, shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. For purposes of effecting any such payment for which it is responsible, the Master Servicer shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (or, if such Serviced Mortgage Loan does not require the related Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to comply with the requirement of the related Mortgage that the Mortgagor make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items). Subject to Section 3.11(h), the Master Servicer shall timely make a Servicing Advance to cover any such item which is not so paid, including any penalties or other charges arising from the Mortgagor's failure to timely pay such items.
(c) The Master Servicer shall, as to each and every Serviced Mortgage Loan, make a Servicing Advance with respect to the related Mortgaged Property in an amount equal to all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items, (ii) ground rents (if applicable), and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies (including Environmental Insurance Policies), in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments (if any) collected from the related Mortgagor are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor (or any related guarantor or party entitled to exercise cure rights) has failed to pay such item on a timely basis. All such Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related payments by or on behalf of the Mortgagors, and further as provided in Section 3.05(a) and/or Section 3.05A. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes of this Agreement, including the Trustee's calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated Principal Balances of the related Serviced Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. The foregoing shall in no way limit the Master Servicer's ability to charge and collect from the Mortgagor such costs together with interest thereon.
(d) The Master Servicer shall, as to all Serviced Mortgage Loans, establish and maintain, as applicable, one or more accounts (the "Reserve Accounts"), into which all related Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deposited and retained; provided that, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, if the related Reserve Account includes funds with respect to any other Mortgage Loan, then the Master Servicer shall maintain a separate sub-account of such Reserve Account that relates solely to such Serviced Loan Combination. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited may be made (i) for the specific purposes for which the particular Reserve Funds were delivered, in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and any other agreement with the related Mortgagor governing such Reserve Funds, (ii) to pay the Master Servicer interest and investment income earned on amounts in the Reserve Accounts as described below, and (iii) following an event of default under the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, for such other purposes as are consistent with the related loan documents, applicable law and the Servicing Standard. To the extent permitted in the applicable loan documents, funds in the Reserve Accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Subject to the related loan documents, all Reserve Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. Consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer may waive or extend the date set forth in any agreement governing Reserve Funds by which any required repairs, capital improvements and/or environmental remediation at the related Mortgaged Property must be completed; provided that any waiver, any extension for more than 120 days and any subsequent extension may only be granted with the consent of the Special Servicer.
Collection of Funds Except as permitted under this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and will receive and collect, directly the funds and other property payable to or to be received by the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee will apply the funds and other property received by it, and will make deposits to, and distributions from, the Bank Accounts, under this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Application of Collections All collections for the Collection Period shall be applied by the Servicer as follows:
(a) With respect to each Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable or a Sold Receivable), payments by or on behalf of the Obligor, (other than Supplemental Servicing Fees with respect to such Receivable, to the extent collected) shall be applied to interest and principal in accordance with the Simple Interest Method.
(b) All amounts collected that are payable to the Servicer as Supplemental Servicing Fees hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account and paid to the Servicer in accordance with Section 5.7(a).
Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account (a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account and any REO Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”), and the Trustee, in its individual capacity, may direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, the Distribution Account is also an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee is the obligor thereon and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such), or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account and any REO Account and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall:
