(ix)  notifying all Borrowers of the appropriate place for communications and payments, and collecting and monitoring all payments made with respect to the Mortgage Loans;
 
(x)  administering any requests for assumptions of a Mortgage Loan or transfers of ownership of or placement of subordinate financing on a Mortgaged Property in accordance with Section 3.08;
 
(xi)  commencing on behalf of the Master Servicer any litigation or proceeding relating to the foreclosure or other realization upon the collateral under any of the Mortgage Loans, and retaining legal counsel in connection therewith, all in accordance with Section 3.09.
 
(xii)  selling or disposing of each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with Section 3.10;
 
(xiii)  managing and operating each REO Property in accordance with Section  3.11;

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall not be required to undertake any lease approvals, loan modifications, workouts or restructuring, loan assumptions or substitutions, processing partial releases of collateral or subordinate financing requests, provided, however, that the Servicer shall be responsible for acting as the intermediary between the Borrower and the Master Servicer with respect to (x) processing Borrower requests for consents to actions and (y) the administration of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents, which includes, without limitation, collecting, organizing and forwarding to the Master Servicer any documents in the possession of the Servicer which relate to the Servicer’s obligation to act as such intermediary; and provided, further, that, subject to the above proviso, the Master Servicer shall be responsible for taking any actions regarding such Borrower requests and, therefore, shall be entitled to retain any modification fees, extension fees, assumption fees, and similar processing fees received from or on behalf of any Borrower unless and until the Master Servicer elects to engage the Servicer to perform such services pursuant to Sections 3.08 and 3.12.
 
Section 3.02  Escrow Accounts; Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items.
 
(a)  With respect to the Mortgage Loans described in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, and subject to and as required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more Eligible Accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into which any or all Escrow Payments shall be deposited within one Business Day after receipt and identification. Escrow Accounts shall be denominated “Midland Loan Services, Inc. in Trust for [the applicable owner] and Various Borrowers” or in such other manner as the Master Servicer prescribes. The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in writing of the location and account number of each Escrow Account it establishes and shall notify the Master Servicer prior to any change thereof. Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be made, subject to any express provisions to the contrary herein, applicable laws, and to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents governing the use of the Escrow Payments, only: (i) to effect payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents and other items required or permitted to be paid from escrow; (ii) to refund to the Borrowers any sums determined to be in excess of the amounts required to be deposited therein; (iii) to pay interest, if required under the Mortgage Loan Documents, to the Borrowers on balances in the Escrow Accounts; (iv) to pay to the Servicer from time to time any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.04; (v) to apply funds to the indebtedness of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms thereof; (vi) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance (including interest thereon at the Advance Rate) for which Escrow Payments should have been made by the Borrowers, but only from amounts received on the Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder; (vii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Escrow Accounts which was not required to be deposited therein; or (viii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Accounts at the termination of this Agreement.
 
(b)  The Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to each Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto as well as the payment of ground rents with respect to each ground lease (to the extent such information is reasonably available). To the extent that the related Mortgage Loan Documents require Escrow Payments to be made by a Borrower, the Servicer shall use Reasonable Efforts to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items, and shall effect payment prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan and deposited in the related Escrow Account by the Servicer. To the extent that the Mortgage Loan does not require a Borrower to make Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall use its Reasonable Efforts to require that any such payment be made by the Borrower prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. Subject to Section 3.05 with respect to the payment of insurance premiums, if a Borrower fails to make any such payment on a timely basis or collections from the Borrower are insufficient to pay any such item when due and the Servicer determines that an advance of such funds would constitute a Recoverable Servicing Advance, the Servicer shall consult with the Master Servicer regarding the timing for payment of taxes, assessments and other similar items and upon receipt of approval from the Master Servicer, make a Servicing Advance prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and, in any event, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, with respect to Mortgage Loans that do not provide for escrows for the payment taxes and assessments, the Servicer shall, subject to prompt receipt of approval from the Master Servicer, make a Servicing Advance for the payment of such items upon the earlier of (i) five Business Days after the Servicer has received confirmation that such item has not been paid and (ii) the earlier of (A) 30 days after the date such payments first become due and (B) five Business Days before the scheduled date of foreclosure of any lien arising from nonpayment of such items. In no event shall the Servicer be required to make any such Servicing Advance that would not, if made, be a Recoverable Servicing Advance.
 
(c)  In accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and for all Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall consult with the Master Servicer regarding any Servicing Advance and upon receipt of approval from the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance with respect to each related Mortgaged Property (including any REO Property) of all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (without duplication) (i) ground rents (if applicable), (ii) premiums on insurance policies, (iii) operating, leasing, managing and liquidation expenses for REO Properties, (iv) environmental inspections, (v) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and (vi) any other amount specifically required to be paid as a Servicing Advance hereunder, if and to the extent monies in the Servicing Accounts are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Borrower has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, provided that the Servicer shall only be required to make any such Servicing Advance that would, if made, constitute a Recoverable Servicing Advance.
 
Section 3.03  Collection Accounts.
 
(a)  With respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more Eligible Accounts (each, a “Collection Account”) for the benefit of the trust for the purposes set forth herein. Collection Accounts shall be denominated “Midland Loan Services, Inc. in Trust for [the applicable owner]” or in such other manner as the Master Servicer prescribes. The Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Accounts within one (1) Business Day after receipt all payments and collections received by it on or after the date hereof with respect to the Mortgage Loans, other than payments and collections with respect to any REO Property (which shall be deposited into the Collection Account from amounts withdrawn from the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.11(a)), Escrow Payments or payments in the nature of Additional Servicing Compensation.
 
(b)  The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Collection Accounts only as follows (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):
 
(i)  to withdraw any amount deposited in the Collection Accounts which was not required to be deposited therein;
 
(ii)  pursuant to Section 5.01, to pay to the Servicer the Servicing Fee, Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee and Disposition Fee on each Remittance Date;
 
(iii)  pursuant to Section 5.02, to pay or reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advances (including interest thereon at the Advance Rate);
 
(iv)  to pay to the Servicer from time to time any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Accounts pursuant to Section 3.04;
 
(v)  to remit to the Master Servicer on each Remittance Date, pursuant to wiring instructions from the Master Servicer, all amounts (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall include all prepayment penalties collected from the borrower) on deposit in the Collection Accounts (that represent good funds) as of the close of business on the Determination Date, net of any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to this Section;
 
(vi)  to clear and terminate the Collection Accounts upon the termination of this Agreement;
 
(vii)  pursuant to Section 5.02, to pay or reimburse itself for Advances not previously reimbursed; and
 
(viii)  to reimburse itself out of general collections for any Advance or Servicing Advance made that has been deemed by the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
 
Section 3.04  Permitted Investments.
 
The Servicer may direct any depository institution or trust company in which the Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein in one or more Permitted Investments; provided, however, that such funds shall be either (i) immediately available or (ii) available in accordance with a schedule which will permit the Servicer to meet its payment obligations hereunder. The Servicer shall be entitled to all income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit from its own funds in the applicable Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment of funds immediately upon the realization of such loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not direct the investment of funds held in any Escrow Account and retain the income and gain realized therefrom if the related Mortgage Loan Documents or applicable law permit the Borrower to be entitled to the income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited therein. In such event, the Servicer shall direct the depository institution or trust company in which such Escrow Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein (1) in accordance with the Borrower’s written investment instructions, if the Mortgage Loan Documents or applicable law require such funds to be invested in accordance with the Borrower’s direction; and (2) in accordance with the Master Servicer’s written investment instructions, if the Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law do not permit the Borrower to direct the investment of such funds; provided, however, that in either event (i) such funds shall be either (y) immediately available or (z) available in accordance with a schedule which will permit the Servicer to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow Account was established, and (ii) the Servicer shall have no liability for any loss in investments of such funds that are invested pursuant to such written instructions.
 
Section 3.05  Maintenance of Insurance Policies. 
 
(a)  The Servicer shall use its Reasonable Efforts to cause the Borrower of each Mortgage Loan to maintain for each Mortgage Loan such insurance as is required to be maintained pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents. If the Borrower fails to maintain such insurance, then the Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of such breach and, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates, cause to be maintained (i) fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and the replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of the related Mortgaged Property and (ii) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, flood insurance in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (y) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or (z) the maximum amount of such insurance as is available for the related Mortgaged Property under the National Flood Insurance Act. After notifying the Master Servicer pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the Servicer shall take such action as the Master Servicer reasonably requests with respect to the maintenance of any other forms of insurance which are required to be maintained pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents, except to the extent that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or the Master Servicer, or after Securitization the Securitization trust, as mortgagee, does not have an insurable interest. The Servicer shall, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates, maintain for each REO Property no less insurance coverage than was previously required with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or as may be required at any time by the Master Servicer in writing. All such policies, except for policies maintained for any REO Mortgaged Property, shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Master Servicer, and shall be in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause. The costs of maintaining the insurance policies which the Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
 
(b)  The Servicer may fulfill its obligation to maintain insurance, as provided in Section 3.05(a), through a master force placed insurance policy, the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance, provided that such cost is limited to the incremental cost of such policy allocable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property is then covered thereby, which shall be paid by the Servicer). Such master force placed insurance policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the related Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the master force placed insurance policy because of such deductible to the extent that such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation required under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, or, in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.
 
(c)  The Servicer shall maintain at its own expense a fidelity bond in form and amount that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. In addition, the Servicer shall keep in force, at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, a policy or policies of insurance in form and amounts that are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of the Servicer’s officers and employees in connection with its obligations hereunder.
 
Section 3.06  Delivery and Possession of Servicing Files.
 
On or before the related Servicing Transfer Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer (i) a Servicing File with respect to each Mortgage Loan; and (ii) the amounts, if any, received by the Master Servicer representing Escrow Payments previously made by the Borrowers. The Servicer shall promptly acknowledge receipt of the Servicing File and Escrow Payments for the Mortgage Loans and shall promptly deposit such Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts established pursuant to this Agreement. The contents of each Servicing File delivered to the Servicer are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Master Servicer as the owner thereof or, in the case of a Securitization, held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Securitization trust; the Servicer’s possession of the contents of each Servicing File so delivered is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan; and such possession by the Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only. The Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of any Servicing File only in accordance with written instructions from the Master Servicer, and upon request of the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the Servicing File or a copy of any document contained therein; provided, however, that if the Servicer is unable to perform its Loan Servicing obligations with respect to the related Mortgage Loan after any such release or delivery of the Servicing File, then the Servicer’s responsibilities for Loan Servicing with respect to such Mortgage Loan may be terminated immediately by the Servicer upon written notice to the Master Servicer.
 
Section 3.07  Inspections.
 
The Servicer shall perform a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property or REO Property at least annually for Mortgage Loans with outstanding principal balance of more than $1,000,000 and every other year for Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of less than or equal to $1,000,000 or if (a) the related Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, (b) the Master Servicer requests such an inspection, or (c) the Servicer, with the approval of the Master Servicer, determines that it is prudent to conduct such an inspection. The Servicer shall prepare a written report of each such inspection and shall promptly deliver a copy of such report to the Master Servicer. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with any such inspections (including any out-of-pocket expenses related to travel and lodging and any charges incurred through the use of a qualified third party to perform such services) shall be paid as a Servicing Advance; provided, however, that with respect to the annual (or every other year) inspection of any Mortgaged Property or the initial inspection of any Mortgaged property relating to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, such expenses shall be borne by the Servicer.
 
Section 3.08  Due-on-Sale” Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
 
When any Borrower proposes to convey or encumber all or any portion of its interests in a Mortgaged Property, or if such conveyance or encumbrance has actually occurred, to the extent that the Servicer has actual knowledge of such conveyance or encumbrance, the Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Master Servicer and take such related actions as the Master Servicer reasonably directs, including (i) waiving or enforcing any due-on-sale clause or due-on-encumbrance clause contained in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, to the extent permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, (ii) taking or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement from or with the Person to whom such Mortgaged Property has been or shall be conveyed, and (iii) releasing the original Borrower from liability upon the related Mortgage Loan and substituting the new Borrower as the obligor thereon.
 
To the extent the Servicer is engaged by the Master Servicer to perform analysis, processing and administrative functions in connection with any request by a Borrower to waive any such due-on-sale clause or due-on-encumbrance clause and/or to enter into any such assumption or substitution agreement, the Servicer may, as a condition to granting any such request require (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that such Borrower pay to it, as Additional Servicing Compensation, a reasonable and customary fee consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices in connection with such request, together with any related costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer; provided, however, that in the event that the Borrower fails or is unable to pay any such costs and expenses, or the Master Servicer directs the Servicer to waive any requirement that the Borrower pay any such costs or expenses, the same shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
 
Section 3.09  Realization Upon Mortgaged Properties.
 
(a)  Upon the failure of any Borrower to make any required payment of principal, interest or other amounts due under a Mortgage Loan, or otherwise to perform fully any material obligations under any of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, in either case within any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall, upon discovery of such failure, promptly notify the Master Servicer in writing. In accordance with the operating procedures set forth in Exhibit “C” attached hereto, the Servicer shall issue notices of default, declare events of default, declare due the entire outstanding principal balance, and otherwise take all reasonable actions under the related Mortgage Loan in preparation for the Master Servicer to realize upon the underlying collateral. With respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, as permitted under the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, and subject to the Master Servicer’s prior written consent, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of the related Mortgaged Property. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall, subject to the consent or direction of the Master Servicer, follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. All costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in any such proceedings shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
 
(b)  If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Master Servicer’s nominee, or after Securitization the nominee of the Securitization trustee, but in no event shall such deed or certificate be taken in the name of the Servicer. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall be considered to be an REO Mortgage Loan held by the Master Servicer or after Securitization the Securitization trustee until such time as the related REO Property shall be sold, transferred or conveyed by the Master Servicer or such trustee. Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as such REO Mortgage Loan shall be considered to be an outstanding Mortgage Loan, payments and collections with respect to the related REO Property received in any month (net of related expenses) shall be applied to amounts which would have been payable under the related Note in accordance with the terms of such Note.
 
(c)  Except as otherwise provided in written instructions delivered to the Servicer by the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall not obtain title to any Mortgaged Property as a result or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Master Servicer, or after Securitization the Securitization trustee, would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of any Environmental Law, or a “discharger” or “responsible party” thereunder, unless the Servicer has also previously determined, based on a report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental site assessments, that:
 
(i)  such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws or, if not, that taking such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions; and
 
(ii)  there are no circumstances present on such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any applicable Environmental Law, or that, if any such Hazardous Materials are present for which such action could be required, taking such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions.
 
If the Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria in clauses (i) and (ii) above that it would be in the best economic interest of the Master Servicer, or after Securitization the Securitization trustee, to take any such actions, the Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of such proposed action. The Servicer shall take such action only if authorized by the Master Servicer in writing. The costs of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Expense.
 
If the environmental assessment first obtained by the Servicer with respect to a Mortgaged Property indicates that such Mortgaged Property may not be in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws or that Hazardous Materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, the Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer’s prior written consent, shall cause such further environmental assessments to be conducted.
 
(d)  The environmental site assessments contemplated by Section 3.09(c) shall be prepared by any Person who is recommended by the Servicer and approved in writing by the Master Servicer or such other Person as directed in writing by the Master Servicer. The cost of preparation of any environmental assessment shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Expense.
 
(e)  If the Servicer determines, pursuant to Section 3.09(c), that taking such actions as are necessary to bring any Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, or taking such actions with respect to the containment, clean-up, removal or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, is not reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions, then the Servicer shall take such action as directed in writing by the Master Servicer, including, without limitation, releasing the lien of the related Mortgage with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
 
Section 3.10  Sale of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
 
(a)  With respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, when and if directed in writing by the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall use its Reasonable Efforts to sell to any Person (other than an Affiliate of the Servicer) such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property on commercially reasonable terms which are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that any such sale must be approved in writing by the Master Servicer.
 
(b)  Subject to Sections 3.10(a), the Servicer shall act on behalf of the Master Servicer in negotiating and taking any such action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, or after Securitization the Securitization trust (except that any contract of sale and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of title and condition). The Net Liquidation Proceeds (after deduction of the Disposition Fee) shall be promptly deposited by the Servicer in the related Collection Account.
 
Section 3.11  Management of REO Property.
 
(a)  Upon the acquisition by the Master Servicer of any REO Property, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do or authorize to be done any and all things in connection therewith as are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, all on terms and for such period as the Servicer deems to be in the best economic interest of the Master Servicer. The Servicer shall segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property one or more Eligible Accounts (each, an “REO Account”) for the purposes set forth herein. REO Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts and shall be denominated “__________ in Trust for IMPAC Commercial Capital Corporation” or in such other manner as the Master Servicer prescribes. The Servicer shall be entitled to any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in an REO Account pursuant to Section 3.04. In connection therewith, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account on a daily basis within one (1) Business Day after receipt all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property (except for any Net Liquidation Proceeds), and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper maintenance, leasing, operation, management and sale of any REO Property, including:
 
(i)  all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
 
(ii)  all taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon;
 
(iii)  all ground rental payments, if applicable, with respect to such REO Property; and
 
(iv)  all costs and expenses necessary to maintain, lease, operate, manage and sell such REO Property, including the management fee payable to the property manager engaged by Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(b).
 
To the extent that amounts on deposit in any REO Account are insufficient for the purposes set forth above, and the Servicer determines that advancing such funds would constitute a Recoverable Servicing Advance, the Servicer shall consult with the Master Servicer regarding such Servicing Advance and upon receipt of approval from the Master Servicer, make a Servicing Advance. The Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and deposit into the related Collection Account on a monthly basis on or prior to the related Remittance Date the income, net of expenses, received or collected from each REO Property; provided, however, that the Servicer may retain in each REO Account funds sufficient for the payment of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, including, without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements, and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses.
 
(b)  The Servicer may contract with any Person as a property manager for the operation and management of any REO Property; provided, however, that:
 
(i)  the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith and the Master Servicer has provided its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) with respect to such property manager;
 
(ii)  none of the provisions of this Section relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Person shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Master Servicer with respect to the operation and management of such REO Property; and
 
(iii)  the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.
 
Section 3.12  Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.
 
(a)  When any Borrower proposes any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan or requests any consents related thereto, the Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Master Servicer and take such related actions as the Master Servicer directs, except with respect to any Borrower proposal or request which involves any required payment from the Borrower in the nature of Additional Servicing Compensation to which the Servicer is properly entitled. All modifications, waivers or amendments of any Mortgage Loan or consents related thereto shall be in writing.
 
(b)  To the extent the Servicer is engaged by the Master Servicer to perform analysis, processing and administrative functions in connection with any request by a Borrower for any consent, modification, waiver or amendment the Servicer may, as a condition to granting any such request require (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that such Borrower pay to it, as Additional Servicing Compensation, a reasonable and customary fee consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices in connection with such request, together with any related costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer; provided, however, that in the event that the Borrower fails or is unable to pay any such costs and expenses, or the Master Servicer directs the Servicer to waive any requirement that the Borrower pay any such costs or expenses, the same shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

SERVICER’S COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES
 
Section 5.01  Servicing Compensation.
 
As consideration for servicing the Mortgage Loans subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan remaining subject to this Agreement during any calendar month or part thereof. Such Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly on the Remittance Date and shall be computed on the basis of the same outstanding principal balance and for the period with respect to which any related interest payment on the related Mortgage Loan is computed. The Servicer may pay itself the Servicing Fee on each Remittance Date from amounts on deposit in the related Collection Account.
 
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain any payments or collections received by it which are in the nature of Additional Servicing Compensation.
 
As compensation for its special servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fee for each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining subject to this Agreement during any calendar month or part thereof. Such Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly on the Remittance Date and shall be computed on the basis of the same outstanding principal balance and for the period with respect to which any related interest payment on the related Mortgage Loan is computed. The Servicer may pay itself the Special Servicing Fee on each Remittance Date from amounts on deposit in the related Collection Account. The Servicer shall not be entitled to the Servicing Fee for any Mortgage Loan in the event the Servicer is entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan.
 
In addition to the other servicing compensation provided for in this Agreement, and not in lieu thereof, the Servicer shall be entitled to (i) the Disposition Fee, which shall be payable out of Net Liquidation Proceeds prior to the deposit of Net Liquidation Proceeds into the Collection Account; and (ii) the Workout Fee which shall be payable on each Remittance Date.
 
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient for the payment of the Servicing Fee, Special Servicing Fee or Workout Fee, the Master Servicer shall pay any such shortfall to the Servicer within ten (10) Business Days after the Master Servicer’s receipt of an itemized invoice therefor.
 
The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Midland Loan Services, Inc. (and its successors and assigns) shall also be entitled to the Excess Servicing Strip with respect to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing and may at its option assign or pledge to any third party or retain for itself the Excess Servicing Strip. The Master Servicer (or its successor hereunder, if any) shall pay the Excess Servicing Strip to the holder of the Excess Servicing Strip (i.e., Midland Loan Services, Inc. or any such third party) at such time and to the extent the Master Servicer is entitled to receive payment of its Master Servicing Fees hereunder, notwithstanding any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that Midland Loan Services, Inc. is terminated or resigns as servicer, it (and its successors and assigns) will be entitled to retain the Excess Servicing Strip.
 
Pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, the Servicer shall also receive interest for any Advances made by it on the Mortgage Loans on an actual/360 day basis for the time period from the date of such initial Advance until the time such Advance is reimbursed. The interest rate on such Advance will be determined by reference to the Prime Rate as most recently published in the Wall Street Journal for the time period from the date of such initial Advance until the time such Advance is reimbursed. The amount of interest paid on an Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer shall be offset with late fees collected by the Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 5.02  Servicing Advances and Advances.
 
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Servicer shall obtain the written approval of the Master Servicer prior to incurring any Servicing Advance that is over $5,000.00 per item, except for any Servicing Expense which is (i) incurred by the Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.02(b) or 3.05 or (ii) made for any purposes other than those described in item (i) above, and is not over $15,000.00 and is made in an emergency situation to preserve and protect the Mortgaged Property or the safety of the public in connection with such Mortgaged Property. The Servicer may cause any Servicing Expenses to be paid directly from the related Collection Account. The Servicer not be required to make any Servicing Advance that is not a Recoverable Servicing Advance.
 
(b) The Servicer shall make its reasonable efforts to collect or cause to be collected all payments required under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and shall follow collection procedures comparable to the collection procedures of prudent institutional mortgage loan servicer servicing mortgage loans for their own account to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive or permit to be waived any late payment charge, assumption fee, or any penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) suspend or reduce or permit to be suspended or reduced regular monthly payments for a period of up to six months, or arrange or permit an arrangement with a Mortgagor for a scheduled liquidation of delinquencies. In the event the Servicer shall consent to the deferment of the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall nonetheless make an Advance to the same extent as if such installment were due, owing and delinquent and had not been deferred through liquidation of the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that the obligation of the Servicer to make an Advance shall apply only to the extent that such Advances are not Nonrecoverable Advances. The Servicer shall determine the aggregate amount of Advances required to be made for the related Distribution Date, which shall be in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (1) the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof adjusted to the Mortgage Rate less the sum of the Master Servicing Fee Rate, the Sub-Servicing Fee Rate and any applicable PMI Insurer Fee Rate, other than Balloon Payments, less the amount of any reductions in the amount of interest collectable from the Mortgagor pursuant to the Relief Act, on the Outstanding Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of business as of the related Determination Date) plus (2) with respect to each Balloon Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the close of business on the related Determination Date, an amount equal to the assumed Monthly Payment (net of the related Master Servicing Fees and Sub-Servicing Fees) that would have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal amortization scheduled for such Balloon Loan until such Balloon Loan is finally liquidated; provided that no Advance shall be made if it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. On or before 4:00 P.M. New York time on each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds an amount equal to the Advances to be made by the Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date. The amount of any reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.03 in respect of outstanding Advances on any Distribution Date shall be allocated to specific Monthly Payments due but delinquent for previous Due Periods, which allocation shall be made, to the extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which have been delinquent for the longest period of time. Such allocations shall be conclusive for purposes of reimbursement to the Servicer from recoveries on related Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.03.
 
(c) The Master Servicer and the Servicer shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any particular funds on deposit in the Custodial Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of its Servicing Fee, Advances, Servicing Advances and any amounts reimbursable thereto in accordance with Section 3.11 of the PSA, but only if and to the extent such amounts are to be reimbursed or paid from such particular funds on deposit in the Custodial Account pursuant to the express terms of the PSA.

The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent thereof shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Servicer against any claim loss, liability or expense incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, by reason of (i) the Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except to the extent such liability is related to the Servicer’s performance of Special Services, in which event a gross negligence standard shall apply) in the performance of its duties hereunder or the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) a breach of the Servicer’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.01.
