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.

(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).

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.

The Master Servicer to Pay Fees and Expenses The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, from its own funds, and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee and, except as otherwise agreed by the Master Servicer and the Trustee, the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement, or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall have no right of reimbursement from the Trust Estate for any such expenses, disbursements and advances not paid or reimbursed to it by the Master Servicer.
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.

The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the date such Serviced Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Serviced Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Serviced Loan, which shall occur upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the Servicing File.

In addition, if the related Mortgagor has been instructed, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, to make payments to the Special Servicer, upon such determination, the Special Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to remit all payments in respect of such Specially Serviced Loan directly to the Master Servicer.
