Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts To the extent the terms of a Mortgage provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one (1) Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event later than the second Business Day after the deposit of good funds into the clearing account, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made by the Servicer only to (i) effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse itself out of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.11 (with respect to fire, flood and hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) for application to restore or repair the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with Section 3.11; (v) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or, only to the extent not required to be paid to the related Mortgagors, to pay itself interest on balances in the Servicing Account; or (vi) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article X. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be obligated to collect Escrow Payments if the related Mortgage Loan does not require such payments but the Servicer shall nevertheless be obligated to make Servicing Advances as provided in Section 3.01 and Section 3.11. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Servicing Accounts any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Servicing Accounts, any provision to the contrary notwithstanding. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer (i) shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall ensure that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan being imposed, the Servicer shall, promptly and to the extent required to avoid loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property unless the Servicer determines the advance to be nonrecoverable. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments subject to its determination of recoverability.
Increased Costs and Reduction of Return (a) If any Lender determines that due to any Change in Law occurring after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, there shall be any increase in the cost (including Taxes) to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding, continuing, converting to or maintaining any SOFR Rate Loans (other than any increase in cost resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, or (iii) Connection Income Taxes), then, subject to clause (c) of this Section 5.3, the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs. (b) If any Lender shall have determined that due to any Change in Law in respect of any Capital Adequacy Regulation occurring after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement that affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender and such Lender (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s or other entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital or liquidity is required to be increased as a consequence of its Term Loan Commitments, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, subject to clause (c) of this Section 5.3, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase. (c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.3 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances for similarly situated borrowers under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.
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.
Reduction of Servicing Compensation in Connection with Prepayment Interest Shortfalls In the event that any Mortgage Loan is the subject of a Prepayment Interest Shortfall, the Servicer shall, from amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, deposit into the Collection Account, as a reduction of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, no later than the Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount up to the Prepayment Interest Shortfall; provided that the amount so deposited shall not exceed the Compensating Interest for such Distribution Date. In case of such deposit, the Servicer shall not be entitled to any recovery or reimbursement from the Depositor, the Trustee, the Issuing Entity or the Certificateholders. With respect to any Distribution Date, to the extent that the Prepayment Interest Shortfall exceeds Compensating Interest (such excess, a "Non-Supported Interest Shortfall"), such Non-Supported Interest Shortfall shall reduce the Current Interest with respect to each Class of Certificates, pro rata based upon the amount of interest each such Class would otherwise be entitled to receive on such Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no reduction of the Servicing Fee in connection with Prepayment Interest Shortfalls related to the Relief Act or bankruptcy proceedings and the Servicer shall not be obligated to pay Compensating Interest with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls related to the Relief Act or bankruptcy proceedings.
Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts (a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Master Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law. (b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.09 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund. (c) The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3.06(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
