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.
