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.

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.

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.

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 Depositor shall make no claim upon the Trust Property for the payment of such expenses.
Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements For so long as the Trust or any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, shall (i) cause each Sub-Servicing Agreement (with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or sub-servicing agreement (with respect to any other Servicer) to which it is a party to entitle the Depositor to terminate such agreement (without compensation, termination fee or the consent of any other Person) at any time following any failure of the applicable Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article X and (ii) promptly notify the Depositor following any failure of the applicable Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article X. The Depositor is hereby authorized to exercise the rights described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence in its sole discretion. The rights of the Depositor to terminate a Sub-Servicing Agreement (with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or sub-servicing agreement (with respect to any other Servicer) as aforesaid shall not limit any right Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may have to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement or sub-servicing agreement, as applicable.
of the Interim Servicing Agreement All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;
