Prior to January 30 in each year commencing in 2006, the Trustee shall, in accordance with industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. Prior to (i) March 15, 2006 and (ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 15 of each year thereafter, the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with a Master Servicer Certification, together with a copy of the annual independent accountant’s servicing report and annual statement of compliance to be delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.13 and 3.14. Prior to (i) March 31, 2006 and (ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, March 31 of each year thereafter, the Trustee shall, subject to subsection (d) below, file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust Fund. Such Form 10-K shall include the Master Servicer Certification and other documentation provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to the second preceding sentence and the Form 10-K certification signed by the Depositor. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section 3.16; provided, however, the Trustee will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Copies of all reports filed by the Trustee under the Exchange Act shall be sent to: the Depositor c/o Bear, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. Inc., Attn: Managing Director-Analysis and Control, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ 3859. Fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Section 3.16 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.
(b) In connection with the filing of any 10-K hereunder, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K) for the Depositor regarding certain aspects of the Form 10-K certification signed by the Depositor, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to undertake an analysis of any accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K.
(c) The Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 3.16 or the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Depositor under this Section 3.16 or the Depositor’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Depositor and their respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Section 3.16 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable, then the defaulting party, in connection with a breach of its respective obligations under this Section 3.16 or its respective negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith, agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other parties as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other.
(d) Nothing shall be construed from the foregoing subsections (a), (b) and (c) to require the Trustee or any officer, director or Affiliate thereof to sign any Form 10-K or any certification contained therein. Furthermore, the inability of the Trustee to file a Form 10-K as a result of the lack of required information as set forth in Section 3.16(a) or required signatures on such Form 10-K or any certification contained therein shall not be regarded as a breach by the Trustee of any obligation under this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.01, this Section 3.16 may be amended without the consent of the Certificateholders.
Company Reports (a) The Company has filed with or otherwise furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) all material forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed or furnished by it under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act since December 31, 2007 (such documents, as supplemented or amended since the time of filing, and together with all information incorporated by reference therein, the “Company SEC Reports”). No Subsidiary of the Company is required to file with the SEC any such forms, reports, schedules, statements or other documents pursuant to Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act. As of their respective effective dates (in the case of Company SEC Reports that are registration statements filed pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act) and as of their respective filing dates (in the case of all other Company SEC Reports), except as and to the extent modified, amended, restated, corrected, updated or superseded by any subsequent Company SEC Report filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company SEC Reports (i) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such Company SEC Reports, and (ii) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(b) The Company maintains a system of “internal controls over financial reporting” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and that includes policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
(c) The Company maintains a system of “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that information relating to the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company required under the Exchange Act with respect to such reports.
(d) Since December 31, 2008, the Company has not received any oral or written notification of a “material weakness” in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The term “material weakness” shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Statements of Auditing Standards 112 and 115, as in effect on the date hereof.
(e) Except as and to the extent modified, amended, restated, corrected, updated or superseded by any subsequent Company SEC Report filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement, the audited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements (including any related notes) included in the Company SEC Reports fairly present in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of financial statements for quarterly periods, to normal year-end adjustments) and were prepared in conformity with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved (except as otherwise disclosed in the notes thereto).
SEC Filings AMAO has filed all documents required to be filed by AMAO under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof (the “SEC Filings”), and AMAO has filed such materials on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Documents prior to the expiration of any such extension, except for its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021. As of their respective filing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as applicable to the SEC Filings and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, except for a warrant accounting issue (the “Warrant Accounting Issue”) and a classification error related to temporary equity and permanent equity made in AMAO’s historical financial statements where, at the closing of AMAO’s initial public offering, AMAO improperly valued its common stock subject to possible redemption (the “Temporary Equity Issue”). None of the SEC Documents, contained, when filed or, if amended prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except for the Warrant Accounting Issue and the Temporary Equity Issue. There are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the Commission staff with respect to any of the SEC Filings. Except for the Warrant Accounting Issue and the Temporary Equity Issue, the financial statements contained in the SEC Filings have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of AMAO and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.
