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.
Subservicing Agreements between the Servicer and Subservicers (a) The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with subservicers (each, a "Subservicer"), for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans ("Subservicing Agreements"). The Servicer shall, within a reasonable period of time, give notice to the Trustee of any such Subservicing Agreement. The Trustee shall not be required to review or consent to such Subservicing Agreements and shall have no liability in connection therewith. (b) Each Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution that has deposit accounts insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Subservicing ▇▇▇▇▇▇ent must ▇▇▇▇▇e on the Subservicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will examine each Subservicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Subservicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Subservicers may enter into and make amendments to the Subservicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Trustee, without the consent of the Trustee. Any variation without the consent of the Trustee from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Subservicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Subservicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Subservicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor copies of all Subservicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments. (c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trustee, shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related Subservicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Subservicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
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:
Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan association (which may be a depository Affiliate of the Seller) which meets the guidelines set forth by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac as an eligible depository institution for custodial accounts. Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in a Custodial Account may be drawn on in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the initial Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent purchaser. The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date: (i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans; (ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate; (iii) all Liquidation Proceeds; (iv) any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.13; (v) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the loan documents or applicable law; (vi) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law; (vii) any Monthly Advances; (viii) Compensating Interest, if any, for the month of distribution. Such deposit shall be made from the Seller’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor; (ix) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with Sections 3.03; (x) any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller pursuant to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy, such deposit shall be made from the Seller’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor; and (xi) any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 6.02. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees and other ancillary fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account. The Seller may invest the funds in the Custodial Account in Eligible Investments designated in the name of the Seller for the benefit of the Seller, which shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding the Remittance Date next following the date of such investment (except that (A) any investment in the Eligible Institution with which the Custodial Account is maintained may mature on such Remittance Date and (B) any other investment may mature on such Remittance Date if the Seller shall advance funds on such Remittance Date, pending receipt thereof to the extent necessary to make distributions to the Purchaser) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to maturity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and above, all income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Seller and shall be subject to withdrawal by the Seller from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05(iv). The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Seller out of its own funds immediately as realized.
Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub- Servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and for the performance of any and all other activities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Each Sub-Servicer shall be either (i) an institution the accounts of which are insured by the FDIC or (ii) another entity that engages in the business of originating or servicing mortgage loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. With the consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of defective documentation or on account of a breach of a representation or warranty, as described in Section 2.02. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
