For the avoidance of doubt, if the Primary Servicer’s report on assessment of compliance with Relevant Servicing Criteria or the related accountants’ report identifies any material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, such reports shall include a discussion of whether the identified instance was determined to have involved the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and any steps taken to remedy such identified instance of noncompliance to the extent related to its activities with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Primary Servicer and that are backed by the same asset-type backing the Certificates.

 

Section 11.12 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be incorporated herein and apply to the Primary Servicer for so long as the Primary Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer to the same extent such section applies to the Master Servicer. The Primary Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, each Certification Party and any director, officer, representative, agent, member, manager, employee or Affiliate of the Master Servicer or any Certification Party, from and against any expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of subsections (i)-(iii) in the first paragraph of Section 11.12 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent the Primary Servicer is an Affected Reporting Party, the Primary Servicer shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 11.12 and incorporated herein by reference, including, but not limited to, obtaining the consent of the Depositor and the Master Servicer (in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably denied, withheld or delayed), to directly communicate with the Commission or its staff and negotiate a response and/or resolution with the Commission or its staff and copying the Master Servicer on all material communications with the Commission or its staff. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by

 

 20

 

the Depositor or any Other Depositor and the Master Servicer (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel to the Depositor or any Other Depositor and the Master Servicer) in connection with the foregoing and any amendments to any reports filed with the Commission or its staff therewith shall be promptly paid by the Primary Servicer upon receipt of an itemized invoice from the Depositor, any Other Depositor and/or the Master Servicer, as applicable. Upon resolution with the Commission, the Primary Servicer shall promptly provide, to each Other Depositor the appropriate revised reports, updated or revised information contained in any report filed by the Other Depositor under the Reporting Requirements, or any updated or revised material communications in connection with the response and/or resolution with the Commission or its staff, if and to the extent such reports, information and/or communications relate to information that was previously provided to the Other Depositor and would reasonably be expected to be contained in a report filed by the Other Depositor under the Reporting Requirements of an Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The Primary Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and each other party listed in Section 11.15 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accordance with Section 11.15 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If any Serviced Companion Loan constitutes a Serviced Securitized Companion Loan, the Primary Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer all information, reports, statements and certificates with respect to the Primary Servicer and such Serviced Companion Loan comparable to any information, reports, statements or certificates required to be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 11.15 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, even if the Primary Servicer is not otherwise required to provide such information, reports or certificates to any Person in order to comply with Regulation AB. Such information, reports or certificates shall be provided to the Master Servicer no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the Master Servicer is required to deliver its comparable information, reports, statements or certificates pursuant to Section 11.15 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Subject to other provisions of this Agreement restricting the right of the Primary Servicer to retain subservicers or subcontractors, the provisions of Article XI regarding retaining a “Sub--Servicer,” “Subcontractor,” “Additional Servicer” or “Servicing Function Participant” shall be applicable to any sub-servicer, subcontractor or agent hired by the Primary Servicer to perform any of its obligations hereunder and the Primary Servicer shall comply with such provisions.

 

The Primary Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless each Certification Party from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees, claims, fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of (a) a breach of its obligations to provide any of the annual compliance statements or annual assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria or attestation reports pursuant to this Agreement, (b) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part in the performance of its obligations, (c) any failure by it, as a Servicer (as defined in Section 11.02(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) to identify a Servicing Function Participant pursuant to Section 11.02(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (d) delivery of any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable.

 

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.01(c)(39) is unavailable or

 

 21

 

insufficient to hold harmless any Certification Party, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or any employee, director or officer of the Depositor, then the Primary Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to the indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party on the one hand and the Primary Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Primary Servicer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.01(c)(39).

 

(40)        Sections 12.01(b)(i)-(ii). The Primary Servicer shall provide all reasonable cooperation (with respect to information regarding the Mortgage Loans in the Primary Servicer’s possession) to enable the Master Servicer to provide the information required pursuant to Sections 12.01(b)(i)-(ii) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 3.02     Merger or Consolidation of the Primary Servicer.

 

The Primary Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a national banking association under the laws of the United States of America. The Primary Servicer shall continue to be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the Mortgaged Properties for the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law, except where the failure to so comply would not adversely affect the Primary Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

Any Person into which the Primary Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Primary Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Primary Servicer, shall be the successor of the Primary Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person (i) must be a business entity whose business includes the servicing of mortgage loans and shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated to the extent required by applicable law, (ii) must be an approved servicer of multifamily mortgage loans for FHLMC or FNMA or a HUD-approved servicer, (iii) must be acceptable to the Master Servicer, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, and (iv) shall have assumed in writing the obligations of the Primary Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Primary Servicer may not remain the Primary Servicer under this Agreement after (x) being merged or consolidated with or into any Person that is a Prohibited Party, or (y) transferring all or substantially all of its assets to any Person if such Person is a Prohibited Party, except to the extent that (i) the Primary Servicer is the surviving entity of such merger, consolidation or transfer and has been and continues to be in compliance with its Regulation AB reporting obligations hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii) the Depositor consents to such merger, consolidation or transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

Section 3.03     Limitation on Liability of the Primary Servicer and Others.

 

Neither the Primary Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or affiliates, agents of the

 

 22

 

Primary Servicer shall be under any liability to the Master Servicer any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Primary Servicer or any such person against any breach of representations or warranties made herein, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence (or by reason of any specific liability imposed hereunder for a breach of the Servicing Standard) in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations and duties. The Primary Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of the Primary Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Primary Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action relates to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability not recoverable from the Trust Fund; provided, however, the Primary Servicer may, with the consent of the Master Servicer, undertake any such action, proceeding, hearing or examination that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, to the extent that the legal expenses and costs of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom are reimbursable, and are reimbursed to the Master Servicer, by the Trust Fund pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Primary Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Master Servicer upon written demand. To the extent provided in Section 6.04 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Primary Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense, incurred in connection with any claim, loss, penalty, fine, foreclosure, judgment, liability or legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Primary Servicer by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Primary Servicer shall not have any rights of indemnification out of the Trust Fund except through the Master Servicer as described above and, in each case, to the full extent that the Master Servicer is permitted to indemnification from the Trust Fund under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 3.04     Primary Servicer Not to Resign.

 

The Primary Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Master Servicer, or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Primary Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Primary Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer.

 

Section 3.05     No Transfer or Assignment of Servicing.

 

With respect to the responsibility of the Primary Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans hereunder, the Primary Servicer acknowledges that the Master Servicer has acted in reliance upon the Primary Servicer’s independent status, the

 

 23

 

adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 3.05, the Primary Servicer shall not either assign or transfer this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof (except as allowed by Section 3.01(c)(27) of this Agreement), or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Master Servicer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any assignment or transfer by the Primary Servicer of this Agreement or the servicing hereunder (the “Primary Servicing Rights”), the Primary Servicer shall allow the Master Servicer an opportunity to bid on the purchase of such Primary Servicing Rights. The Primary Servicer may also solicit bids from any other parties independent of the Primary Servicer. If the Master Servicer offers the highest purchase price for such Primary Servicing Rights, then the Master Servicer shall be provided the opportunity to purchase such Primary Servicing Rights for such purchase price.

 

Section 3.06     Indemnification.

 

The Master Servicer and the Primary Servicer each agrees to and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, in the case of the Primary Servicer, and the Primary Servicer, in the case of the Master Servicer (including any of their partners, directors, officers, employees or agents) from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that the Master Servicer, in the case of the Primary Servicer, and the Primary Servicer, in the case of the Master Servicer, may sustain arising from or as a result of any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence of the Master Servicer or Primary Servicer, as applicable, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard by the Master Servicer or Primary Servicer, as applicable, of its duties and obligations hereunder or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made herein; provided, that such indemnity shall not cover indirect or consequential damages. Each indemnified party hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnitor of matters which may give rise to liability of such indemnitor hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnitor of any liability except to the extent of actual prejudice. Section 3.06 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer.

 

ARTICLE IV

 26

 

party to.

 

If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer 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 Serviced Companion 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, the Serviced Companion Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer pursuant to and under Section 4.01 of this Agreement, 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, the Serviced Companion Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Primary Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Companion Noteholders shall be entitled to direct the Master Servicer to replace the Primary Servicer with a successor sub-servicer for the Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to Section 7.01(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Successor Sub-Servicer”) following an Event of Default with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan. The Primary Servicer agrees that if it is terminated pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement, 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 or the Successor Sub-Servicer, if applicable, 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 or the Successor Sub-Servicer, if applicable, 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 or the Successor Sub-Servicer, if applicable, 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 Servicing Account, or any REO Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loans or any REO Property (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 Prime Rate, 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.

 

Section 4.02     Waiver of Defaults.

 

 27

 

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 Event of Default 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 Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default 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 Event of Default.

 

ARTICLE V

The Master Servicer may, at its sole option, terminate any rights the Primary Servicer may have hereunder with respect to any or all of the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans, as provided in Section 4.01 of this Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, the Primary Servicer will no longer perform the obligations of the Master Servicer as Companion Paying Agent if terminted as the Primary Servicer with respect to the Serviced Whole Loan.

 

 28

 

In addition, the Master Servicer shall terminate any rights the Primary Servicer may have hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans if at any time the Primary Servicer is a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Successor Third Party Purchaser and the Primary Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB pursuant to Section 3.20 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Any notice of termination shall be in writing and delivered to the Primary Servicer as provided in Section 6.05 of this Agreement.

 

Section 5.03     Termination of Duties with Respect to Specially Serviced Loans.

 

At such time as any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the obligations and duties of the Primary Servicer set forth herein with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan that are required to be performed by the Special Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall cease in accordance with Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement. The Primary Servicer shall continue to perform all of its duties hereunder with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans to the extent set forth in Section 3.01 of this Agreement. If a Specially Serviced Loan becomes a Corrected Loan, the Primary Servicer shall commence servicing such Corrected Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
