(n)          a Servicer Termination Event by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement occurs, which Servicer Termination Event occurred as a result of the failure of the Primary Servicer to perform any obligation required under this Agreement; or

 

(o)           (1)      so long as the Issuing Entity is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, any failure by the Primary Servicer to deliver any annual certification, assessment

If any Primary Servicer Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Primary Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer or, in the case of a Primary Servicer Termination Event described in 4.01(o), the Depositor may terminate, by notice in writing to the Primary Servicer, all of the rights and obligations of the Primary Servicer as Primary Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. From and after the receipt by the Primary Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Primary Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 4.01, and, without limitation, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Primary Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Primary Servicer agrees that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 4.01, it shall promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Master Servicer with all documents and records (including, without limitation, those in electronic form) requested by it to enable it to assume the Primary Servicer’s functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the Primary Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the assumption by a successor of the Primary Servicer’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within one (1) Business Day to the Master Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Primary Servicer to the Primary Servicer Collection Account, the Collection Account, any Escrow Account, any Reserve Account, any Lock-Box Account, or any Cash Collateral Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans (provided, however, that the Primary Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, and it and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.03 of this Agreement notwithstanding any such termination).

 

In addition to any other rights the Master Servicer may have hereunder, if the Primary Servicer fails to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts when required to be remitted hereunder, the Primary Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on the amount of such late remittance at the rate of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association prime rate plus three

 

 

percent (3%) per annum, applied on a per diem basis for each day such remittance is late (i.e., said per annum rate divided by 365 multiplied by the number of days late); but in no event shall such interest be greater than the maximum amount permitted by law.

 

In addition to any other rights and remedies available to the Master Servicer hereunder or at law or equity, including, without limitation, the right to a recovery of damages, the Master Servicer may impose, and if so imposed, the Primary Servicer shall pay, the penalties described in this paragraph for any failure by the Primary Servicer to timely provide to the Master Servicer any report or certification required by this Agreement to be provided to the Master Servicer, the Collection Report required by this Agreement, the remittance report in the form of Exhibit G required by this Agreement, or the account reconciliations required by this Agreement (and, with respect to the account reconciliations, such failure continues unremedied for thirty (30) days after the time within which they are required to be delivered) (each such failure referred to herein as a “Primary Servicer Delinquency”). The Master Servicer may impose on the Primary Servicer a penalty of $500.00 for the first Primary Servicer Delinquency to occur hereunder (“Initial Primary Servicer Delinquency”), a penalty of $1,000.00 for the next Primary Servicer Delinquency occurring within two (2) years following an Initial Primary Servicer Delinquency, and a penalty of $1,500.00 for any other Primary Servicer Delinquency occurring within two (2) years following an Initial Primary Servicer Delinquency; provided, however, that if no Primary Servicer Delinquency occurs during any two (2) year period, the first Primary Servicer Delinquency thereafter shall be deemed to be an “Initial Primary Servicer Delinquency”. The penalties provided for in this paragraph are not intended to constitute liquidated damages. The rights and remedies of the Master Servicer under this Agreement are cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.

 

Section 4.02      Waiver of Defaults.

 

The Master Servicer may waive any default by the Primary Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Primary Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

 

Section 4.03      Other Remedies of Master Servicer.

 

During the continuance of any Primary Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Primary Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer, in addition to the rights specified in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, shall have the right, in its own name, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Primary Servicer Termination Event.

Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 6.11      Third Party Beneficiary.

 

The Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement, provided that, except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder as contemplated by Section 6.12 of this Agreement,

All such information will be provided by, and all such communications, responses and requests will be made by, the Master Servicer in accordance with the procedures required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent that the Master Servicer is required to take any action under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to comply with Exchange Act Rule 17g-5, the Primary Servicer shall cooperate and provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer to enable the Master Servicer to comply with such obligations.

 

(b)           The Primary Servicer hereby expressly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and the Depositor and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, Affiliates and controlling persons, and the Trust Fund (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, judgments, costs, fees, penalties, fines, forfeitures or other expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, pursuant to a third-party claim, insofar as such losses, liabilities, damages, claims, judgments, costs, fees, penalties, fines, forfeitures or other expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) arise out of or are based upon (i) the Primary Servicer’s breach of this Section 6.19 or (ii) a determination by the Rating Agency that it cannot reasonably rely on representations made by the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 17g-5(a)(3), to the extent caused by any such breach referred to in clause (i) above by the Primary Servicer, and will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, as such expenses are incurred.
