PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell Certificates, to be issued hereunder
in multiple Classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust to be created hereunder.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect that two segregated pools
of assets within the Trust Fund (exclusive of the Excess Interest, the Excess
Interest Distribution Account, the Class A-MFL Regular Interest, the Class A-MFL
Swap Contract and the Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account) be treated for federal
income tax purposes as two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits
("REMIC I" and "REMIC II", respectively).
REMIC I
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect that the portion of the
Trust Fund consisting of the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest) and
certain other related assets subject to this Agreement shall be treated as a
REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated asset pool will be
designated as "REMIC I". The REMIC I Regular Interests listed below under the
heading "Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interests" constitute "regular interests"
in REMIC I and the Class R-I Certificates constitute the sole Class of "residual
interests" in REMIC I created hereunder for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
The following table sets forth the Class or Component designation,
the corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest (the "Corresponding REMIC I Regular
Interest"), and the Corresponding Components of the Class XW Certificates for
each Class of the REMIC II Certificates (the "Corresponding Certificates").

As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat that portion of
the Trust Fund consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests and certain other

into account in determining the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property, as applicable, referred to in clause (2)(x)(i) of this
definition).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) an Appraisal Trigger Event
occurs with respect to any Loan, (ii) either (A) no Appraisal has been obtained
or conducted, as applicable in accordance with Section 3.19(b), with respect to
the related Mortgaged Property during the 12 month period prior to the date of

Principal Balance will be to the entire Stated Principal Balance thereof (i.e.,
the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loan and, in the
case of a Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan).
Each Whole Loan will be treated as a single mortgage loan for
purposes of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the
mortgage loans that comprise the Whole Loan.
For the avoidance of doubt, any Appraisal Reduction Amount with
respect to an A/B Whole Loan shall be calculated based upon the aggregate Stated
Principal Balances of the related A/B Mortgage Loan and the related A/B
Companion Loan and shall be deemed allocated: first, to the related A/B
Companion Loan to the extent of its outstanding principal balance and then to
the related Mortgage Loan.

the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, the related Controlling Holder

Servicer within the time period referenced in the immediately preceding
sentence, such approval and consent shall be deemed granted. With respect to any
Special Action described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this definition, the

any Cross-Collateralized Set in the form of payments from Mortgagors, Insurance
Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds shall be applied among
the Mortgage Loans constituting such Cross-Collateralized Set in accordance with
the express provisions of the related loan documents and, in the absence of such
express provisions, in accordance with the Servicing Standard. All amounts
collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of any Whole Loan in the form
of payments from Mortgagors, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds shall be applied among the Mortgage Loan and Companion
Loan(s) constituting such Whole Loan in accordance with the express provisions
of the related Intercreditor Agreement and, in the absence of such express
provisions, in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions.

Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds shall be applied to
amounts due and owing under the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage (including
for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express
provisions of the related loan documents and, in the absence of such express
provisions or if and to the extent that such terms authorize the lender to use
its discretion, shall be applied: first, as a recovery of Nonrecoverable
Advances (including interest on such Nonrecoverable Advances) and
Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts that were reimbursed from general
collections on the Mortgage Loans and resulted in principal distributed to the
Certificateholders being reduced as a result of the first proviso in the
definition of "Principal Distribution Amount", and, if applicable, unpaid
related Liquidation Expenses and any outstanding related Additional Trust Fund
Expenses; second, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest (excluding Excess
Interest in the case of an ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date) on
such Mortgage Loan to, but not including, the date of receipt by or on behalf of
the Trust (or, in the case of a full Monthly Payment from any Mortgagor, through
the related Due Date); third, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan

following a default thereunder (or, if a Liquidation Event has occurred in
respect of such Mortgage Loan, as a recovery of principal to the extent of its
entire remaining unpaid principal balance); fourth, unless a Liquidation Event
has occurred in respect of such Mortgage Loan, as a recovery of amounts to be
currently applied to the payment of, or escrowed for the future payment of, real
estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and
similar items; fifth, unless a Liquidation Event has occurred in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, as a recovery of Reserve Funds to the extent then required to be

owing under such Mortgage Loan; seventh, as a recovery of any Default Charges

on such ARD Loan, to but not including the date of receipt.
(b) Collections by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of each REO
Property, exclusive of amounts to be applied to the payment of the costs of
operating, managing, maintaining and disposing of such REO Property, shall be
treated: first, as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances (including interest on
such Nonrecoverable Advance) and Workout-Delayed Reimbursed Amounts with respect
to such REO Loan, that were reimbursed from collections on the Mortgage Loans
and resulted in principal distributed to the Certificateholders being reduced as
a result of the first proviso of the definition of "Principal Distribution
Amount"; second, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest (excluding, in the
case of an REO Loan that relates to an ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment
Date, Excess Interest) on such REO Loan at the related Mortgage Rate in effect
from time to time to but not including the Due Date in the Collection Period of
receipt; third, as a recovery of principal of such REO Loan to the extent of its
entire unpaid principal balance; fourth, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a
recovery of any other amounts due and owing in respect of such REO Loan; fifth,

Interest on such REO Loan to but not including the date of receipt by or on
behalf of the Trust, in that order.
(c) For the purposes of calculating distributions pursuant to this
Agreement, Excess Interest on an ARD Loan shall be deemed not to constitute
principal or any portion thereof and shall not be added to the unpaid principal
balance or Stated Principal Balance of such ARD Loan. To the extent any Excess
Interest is not paid on a current basis, it shall be deemed to be deferred
interest. Any reference to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of
Certificates on or as of a Distribution Date shall refer to the Certificate
Balance of such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date after giving
effect to any distributions made on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section
4.01(a).
(d) Insofar as amounts received in respect of any Mortgage Loan or
related REO Property and allocable to shared fees and shared charges owing in
respect of such Mortgage Loan or the related REO Loan, as the case may be, that
constitute Additional Master Servicing Compensation payable to the Master
Servicer and/or Additional Special Servicing Compensation payable to the Special
Servicer, are insufficient to cover the full amount of such fees and charges,
such amounts shall be allocated between such of those fees and charges as are
payable to the Master Servicer, on the one hand, and such of those fees and
charges as are payable to the Special Servicer, on the other, pro rata in
accordance with their respective entitlements.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan subject to an involuntary prepayment of principal
during a Collection Period, all interest collected during such Collection Period
in connection with such involuntary prepayment of principal that the related
lender would be entitled to retain under the related loan documents shall be
treated as excess interest and shall be used to offset any shortfalls of
interest for the related Distribution Date resulting from involuntary
prepayments of principal during such Collection Period prior to such shortfalls
of interest being allocated to any Class of Certificates. Any such interest not
required to offset shortfalls of interest for the related Distribution Date
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall constitute Additional
Master Servicing Compensation.
(f) The foregoing applications of amounts received in respect of any
Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall be determined by the Master Servicer and
reflected in the appropriate monthly report from the Master Servicer and in the
appropriate monthly Trustee Report as provided in Section 4.02.
(g) For purposes of calculating LIBOR with respect to the Class
A-MFL Certificates and each Interest Accrual Period, LIBOR shall be rounded, if
necessary, to the nearest hundred-thousandth of a percentage point.
If an expense under this Agreement relates in the reasonable
judgment of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, primarily to the administration of the Trust Fund, any REMIC formed
hereunder or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of
any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or
expense, or this Agreement states that any expense is solely "an expense of the
Trust Fund" or words of similar import, then such expense shall not be allocated
to, deducted or reimbursed from, or otherwise charged against any Companion Loan
and such Companion Loan Holder shall not suffer any adverse consequences as a
result of the payment of such expense.
Section 1.04 Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is hereby
acknowledged that the sets of Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule as being cross-collateralized with each other are, in the case of each
such particular set of Mortgage Loans, by their terms, cross-defaulted and
cross-collateralized with each other. For purposes of reference only in this
Agreement, and without in any way limiting the servicing rights and powers of
the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, with respect to any
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan (or successor REO Loan), the Mortgaged
Property (or REO Property) that relates or corresponds thereto shall be the
property identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as corresponding thereto. The
provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with
this Section 1.04; provided that, if there exists with respect to any
Cross-Collateralized Set only one original of any document referred to in the
definition of "Mortgage File" covering all the Mortgage Loans in such
Cross-Collateralized Set, then the inclusion of the original of such document in
the Mortgage File for any of the Mortgage Loans constituting such
Cross-Collateralized Set shall be deemed an inclusion of such original in the
Mortgage File for each such Mortgage Loan.
Section 1.05 Incorporation of Preliminary Statement.
The parties hereto acknowledge that the Preliminary Statement at the
beginning of this Agreement constitutes a part of this Agreement.
ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES; ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that a common law
trust be established pursuant to this Agreement and further such trust be
designated as "Banc of America Commercial Mortgage Inc., Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-1". LaSalle Bank National Association is
hereby appointed, and does hereby agree to act, as Trustee hereunder and, in
such capacity, to hold the Trust Fund in trust for the exclusive use and benefit
of all present and future Certificateholders. It is not intended that this
Agreement create a partnership or a joint-stock association.
(b) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, sell, set over and otherwise convey to the
Trustee, in trust, without recourse, for the benefit of the Certificateholders
(and for the benefit of the other parties to this Agreement as their respective
interests may appear) and, in the case of a Whole Loan, the related Companion
Loan Holder, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in, to and under
(i) the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files
and Servicing Files, (ii) the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements and
(iii) all other assets included or to be included in the Trust Fund. Such
assignment includes (i) the Mortgage Loans that from time to time are subject to
this Agreement, all interest accrued on the Mortgage Loans on and after the
Cut-off Date and all principal payments received on the Mortgage Loans after the
Cut-off Date (other than principal and interest payments due and payable on the
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, which shall belong and be promptly
remitted to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller), together with all documents
delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage
Loans by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; (ii) any REO Property acquired in
respect of a Mortgage Loan; (iii) such funds or assets that from time to time
are deposited into the Certificate Account, the REMIC I Distribution Account,
the REMIC II Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess
Interest Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and the
REO Account (if established), and (iv) in the case of a Mortgage Loan included
in a Whole Loan, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in the
related Intercreditor Agreement. In connection with the transfer and assignment
set forth in this Section 2.01, the Depositor shall make a cash deposit to the
Certificate Account in an amount equal to the Interest Deposit Amount and the
Initial Interest Reserve Deposit Amount. This conveyance is subject to the
rights of the Sub-Servicers pursuant to the Sub-Servicing Agreements, which
rights are subject in any event to this Agreement.
Under United States generally accepted accounting principles, the
Depositor shall report: (i) its acquisition of the Mortgage Loans from the
Mortgage Loan Sellers, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale
Agreements, as a purchase of such Mortgage Loans from the Mortgage Loan Sellers;
and (ii) its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, pursuant to this
Section 2.01(b), as a sale of such Mortgage Loans to the Trustee. In connection
with the foregoing, the Depositor shall cause all of its records to reflect such
acquisition as a purchase and such transfer as a sale (in each case, as opposed
to a secured loan).
After the Depositor's transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), the Depositor shall not take any action
inconsistent with the Trust's ownership of the Mortgage Loans.
In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to this
Section 2.01(b), the Depositor hereby represents and warrants that it has
contractually obligated the Mortgage Loan Sellers, at the Mortgage Loan Sellers'
expense, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements, to deliver
to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Trustee
or a Custodian appointed thereby, on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage
File and any Additional Collateral (other than Reserve Funds) for each Mortgage
Loan acquired by the Depositor from the Mortgage Loan Sellers. In addition, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan under which any Additional Collateral is in the
form of a Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date, the Depositor hereby
represents and warrants that it has contractually obligated the Mortgage Loan
Sellers to cause to be prepared, executed and delivered to the issuer of each
such Letter of Credit such notices, assignments and acknowledgments as are
required under such Letter of Credit to assign, without recourse, to the Trustee
the related Mortgage Loan Seller's rights as the beneficiary thereof and drawing
party thereunder; provided that the originals of such Letter of Credit shall be
delivered to the Master Servicer. The Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee on
or before the Closing Date a fully executed counterpart of each Mortgage Loan
Purchase and Sale Agreement. If a Mortgage Loan Seller fails to deliver on or
before the Closing Date, with respect to any related Mortgage Loan so assigned,
a copy of the Mortgage, a copy of any related Ground Lease, the originals and
copies of any related Letters of Credit, the original or a copy of the policy of
lender's title insurance or, if such policy has not yet been issued, a
"marked-up" pro forma title policy or commitment for title insurance marked as
binding and countersigned by the issuer or its authorized agent either on its
face or by an acknowledged closing instruction or escrow letter, or, with
respect to hospitality properties, a copy of the franchise agreement, an
original copy of the comfort letter and any transfer documents with respect to
such comfort letter, the delivery requirements of this Section 2.01(b) shall be
deemed satisfied with respect to such missing document if such Mortgage Loan
Seller delivers such document to the Trustee (or, in the case of originals of
Letters of Credit, to the Master Servicer) within 15 days following the Closing
Date. With respect to the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the
foregoing delivery requirements may be satisfied by either Bank of America or
Eurohypo for both Bank of America and Eurohypo. With respect to the Mortgage
Loans so assigned, the Trustee shall provide a certification within 30 days of
the Closing Date that a copy of the Mortgage, a copy of any related Ground
Lease, the originals of any related Letters of Credit, the original or a copy of
the policy of lender's title insurance or, if such policy has not yet been
issued, a "marked-up" pro forma title policy or commitment for title insurance
marked as binding and countersigned by the issuer or its authorized agent either
on its face or by an acknowledged closing instruction or escrow letter, or, with
respect to hospitality properties, a copy of the franchise agreement, an
original copy of the comfort letter and any transfer documents with respect to
such comfort letter due on the Closing Date have been delivered (with any
exceptions noted). None of the Trustee, any Custodian, the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer shall be liable for any failure by any Mortgage Loan Seller
or the Depositor to comply with the document delivery requirements of the
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements and this Section 2.01(b).
The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and
property accomplished hereby is absolute and is intended by the parties hereto
to constitute an absolute transfer of such Mortgage Loans and such other related
rights and property by the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a
pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge
of security for a loan, however, the Depositor and the Trustee intend that the
rights and obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor and the Trustee also intend and
agree that, in such event, (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law, (ii) the Depositor shall be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security interest in
all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the assets
constituting the Trust Fund, including the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from
time to time, all principal and interest received on or with respect to such
Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (other than scheduled payments of interest
and principal due and payable on such Mortgage Loans on or prior to the related
Due Date in March 2007 or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, on or
prior to the related date of substitution), all amounts held from time to time
in the Certificate Account, the REMIC I Distribution Account, the REMIC II
Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest
Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, the REO Account
or the Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account, and all reinvestment earnings on such
amounts, and all of the Depositor's right, title and interest under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements, (iii) the possession by the Trustee or its
agent of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto
from time to time and such other items of property that constitute instruments,
money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession
by the secured party" or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such
secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law, and (iv) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, Persons holding such property shall be deemed to be
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose
of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
(c) As soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within 90 days
after the later of (i) the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement
Mortgage Loan substituted as contemplated by Section 2.03, after the related
date of substitution) and (ii) the date on which all recording information
necessary to complete the subject document is received by the Trustee, the
Trustee shall complete (to the extent necessary), and shall submit for recording
or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate office for real property
records or UCC Financing Statements, as applicable, each assignment of Mortgage
and assignment of Assignment of Leases (except with respect to any Mortgage or
Assignment of Leases that has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee)
in favor of the Trustee referred to in clauses (iv) and (v) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" that has been received by the Trustee or a Custodian on its
behalf and each original UCC-2 and UCC-3 in favor of the Trustee referred to in
clause (viii) of the definition of "Mortgage File" that has been received by the
Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf. Upon request of the Master Servicer (if
reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the
related Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer) and at the expense of the related
Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trustee shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of
any such assignment that has been received by the Trustee. Each such assignment
shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the
Trustee following recording, and each such UCC-2 and UCC-3 shall reflect that
the file copy thereof should be returned to the Trustee following filing;
provided that in those instances where the public recording office retains the
original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases the
Trustee shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original at the
expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller. The Trustee may assume for purposes
of recordation of each UCC-2 and UCC-3 that the Mortgage File containing the
related UCC-1 includes one state level UCC Financing Statement filing in the
state of incorporation of the related Borrower for each Mortgaged Property (or
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more related Borrowers, the
state of incorporation of each such Borrower). Each Mortgage Loan Seller will
deliver to the Trustee the UCC Financing Statements, completed pursuant to
Revised Article 9 of the UCC, on the new national forms, in recordable form, to
be recorded pursuant to this Section 2.01(c). The Trustee will submit such UCC
Financing Statements for filing in the state of incorporation as so indicated on
the documents provided. If any such document or instrument is lost or returned
unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the
Trustee shall direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to prepare or cause to be
prepared promptly, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale
Agreement, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and
thereafter the Trustee shall, upon receipt thereof, cause the same to be duly
recorded or filed, as appropriate with any re-recording, re-filing or rejection
expenses at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller. If such Mortgage Loan
Seller has been so notified and has not prepared a substitute document or cured
such defect, as the case may be, within 60 days, the Trustee shall promptly
notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Rating Agencies, the
related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved and the Trustee has
knowledge of such Companion Loan Holder) and the Directing Certificateholder.
Such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be responsible for paying the reasonable fees
and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee in connection with the
above-referenced recording and filing of documents insofar as it relates to the
Mortgage Loans transferred by such Mortgage Loan Seller and acquired by the
Depositor from such Mortgage Loan Seller, all as more particularly provided for
in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement. With respect to the
Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the foregoing delivery requirements
may be satisfied by either Bank of America or Eurohypo for both Bank of America
and Eurohypo.
(d) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to
Section 2.01(b), the Depositor hereby represents and warrants that it has
contractually obligated each Mortgage Loan Seller, at such Mortgage Loan
Seller's expense, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale
Agreement, to deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and
deposited with, the Master Servicer or its designee, on or before the Closing
Date, the following items: (i) asset summaries delivered to the Rating Agencies,
originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals,
environmental/engineering reports, leases, rent rolls and tenant estoppels in
the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to
the Mortgage Loans transferred by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor
and, to the extent they are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File in
accordance with the definition thereof, originals or copies of all documents,
certificates, letters of credit, environmental insurance policies and related
endorsements, and opinions in the possession or under the control of such
Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related
Mortgagors in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans and that
are reasonably required for the ongoing administration and servicing of such
Mortgage Loans (except to the extent such items represent draft documents,
internal notes, attorney-client privileged communications or credit analyses);
and (ii) all unapplied Reserve Funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or
under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to, and that are
required for the ongoing administration and servicing of, the Mortgage Loans
transferred by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor. The Master Servicer
shall hold all such documents, records and funds on behalf of the Trustee in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, each of Bank of
America and Eurohypo is only liable for its pro rata share (i.e., 50%) of any
costs and expenses incurred under this Section with respect to such Mortgage
Loan.
(e) In the event a Mortgage Loan is repurchased by the related
Mortgage Loan Seller, where applicable, the Trustee shall re-assign any rights
that such Mortgage Loan Seller had with respect to representations and
warranties made by a third party originator to such Mortgage Loan Seller under
the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement in respect of any such
Mortgage Loan.

provisions of Section 2.01 and to the further review provided for in this
Section 2.02, and further subject to the Schedule of Exceptions attached hereto
as Schedule III, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, an original Mortgage Note
endorsed to the Trustee and declares that it or a Custodian on its behalf holds
and will hold the documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage
Loan Sellers in respect of the Mortgage Loans, and that it holds and will hold
all other assets included in REMIC I in trust for the exclusive use and benefit
of all present and future Certificateholders (other than the Class V
Certificateholders) and the Trustee as holder of the REMIC I Regular Interests
the Class A-MFL Regular Interest. To the extent that the Mortgage File for a
Mortgage Loan included in a Whole Loan relates to the Mortgage Loan as well as
the related Companion Loan, the Trustee shall also hold such Mortgage File for
the use and benefit of the related Companion Loan Holder.
(b) On or about the ninetieth day following the Closing Date, the
Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall review the documents delivered to it
or such Custodian with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and the Trustee shall,
subject to Sections 1.04, 2.02(c) and 2.02(d), certify electronically or in
writing (substantially in the form of Exhibit F) to each of the other parties
hereto, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole
Loan is involved and the Trustee has knowledge of such Companion Loan Holder)
and the Directing Certificateholder, that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject
to this Agreement (except as specifically identified in any exception report
annexed to such certification): (i) the original Mortgage Note specified in
clause (i) of the definition of "Mortgage File" and all allonges thereto, if any
(or a copy of such Mortgage Note, together with a lost note affidavit certifying
that the original of such Mortgage Note has been lost), the original or copy of
documents specified in clauses (ii) through (vii) and (xii) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" (without regard to the parentheticals therewith), have been
received by it or a Custodian on its behalf; (ii) if such report is due more
than 180 days after the Closing Date, the recordation/filing contemplated by
Section 2.01(c) has been completed (based solely on receipt by the Trustee of
the particular recorded/filed documents); (iii) all documents received by it or
any Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by it or by
such Custodian on its behalf and (A) appear regular on their face (handwritten
additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if
initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appear to have been executed and (C) purport to
relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (iv) the Trustee on behalf of the Trust is
shown as the owner of each Mortgage recorded in the name of MERS or its
designee. The Trustee may assume that, for purposes of reviewing the items in
clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File and completing the
certification attached hereto as Exhibit F, the related UCC-1 includes one state
level UCC Financing Statement filing in the state of incorporation of the
related Borrower for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage
Loan that has two or more related Borrowers, the state of incorporation of each
such Borrower). If any exceptions are noted or if the recordation/filing
contemplated by Section 2.01(c) has not been completed (based solely on receipt
by the Trustee of the particular documents showing evidence of the
recordation/filing), the Trustee shall every 90 days after the ninetieth day
following the Closing Date until the earliest of (i) the date on which such
exceptions are eliminated and such recordation/filing has been completed, (ii)
the date on which all the Defective Mortgage Loans are removed from the Trust
Fund, and (iii) the second anniversary of the Closing Date), distribute an
updated exception report to the recipients of the above mentioned certification
that was submitted to such recipients substantially in the form of Exhibit F. At
any time subsequent to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Trustee
shall, upon request and at the requesting party's expense, prepare and deliver
to the requesting party (including any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner)
an updated version of the exception report provided for in the prior sentence.
(c) If a Mortgage Loan Seller substitutes a Replacement Mortgage
Loan for any Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Section 2.03, the
Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall review the documents delivered to it
or such Custodian with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan, and the
Trustee shall deliver a certification comparable to that described in the prior
paragraph, in respect of such Replacement Mortgage Loan, on or about the
thirtieth day following the related date of substitution (and, if any exceptions
are noted, every 90 days thereafter until the earliest of (i) the date on which
such exceptions are eliminated and all related recording/filing has been
completed, (ii) the date on which such Replacement Mortgage Loan is removed from
the Trust Fund and (iii) the second anniversary of the date on which such
Replacement Mortgage Loan was added to the Trust Fund). At any time subsequent
to the second anniversary of the date on which such Replacement Mortgage Loan is
added to the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall, upon request, prepare and deliver to
the requesting party (including any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner) an
updated version of the exception report provided for in the prior sentence.
(d) None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of
the documents specified in clauses (iii), (v), (vi) and (viii) through (xii) of
the definition of "Mortgage File" exist or are required to be delivered by the
Mortgage Loan Sellers in respect of any Mortgage Loan, or (ii) to inspect,
review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other
papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same
are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or
appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to
Letters of Credit referenced in clause (xii) of the definition of "Mortgage
File" the Trustee shall perform the review set forth in Sections 2.02(b)(iii)(A)
through (C). Furthermore, except as expressly provided in Section 2.02(b), none
of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Custodian shall
have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or
endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of
any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable
jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable
jurisdiction.
(e) In performing the reviews contemplated by subsections (b) and
(c) of this Section 2.02, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the Mortgage Loan
Sellers as to the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature
thereon. It is understood that the scope of the Trustee's review of the Mortgage
Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in clauses
(i) through (v) and clause (vii) of the definition of "Mortgage File", have been
received and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the
certifications required by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.02. If a
Mortgage Loan Seller is notified of or discovers any error in a Mortgage Loan
Checklist, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall amend such Mortgage Loan
Checklist within 180 days and distribute such Mortgage Loan Checklist to each of
the other parties hereto; provided, however, an error in such Mortgage Loan
Checklist by itself shall not be deemed to be a Material Breach or Material
Document Defect. Such new, corrected Mortgage Loan Checklist shall be deemed to
amend and replace the existing Mortgage Loan Checklist; provided, however, the
correction or amendment of such Mortgage Loan Checklist by itself shall not be
deemed to be a cure of a Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
Section 2.03 Mortgage Loan Seller's Repurchase or Substitution of
Mortgage Loans for Material Document Defects and Material Breaches.
(a) If any party hereto discovers, or receives written notice from a
non-party, that a Document Defect or Breach exists with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, then such party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other
parties hereto, including (unless it is the party that discovered the Document
Defect or Breach) the Trustee. Upon the Trustee's discovery or receipt of notice
that a Document Defect or Breach exists with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the
Trustee shall notify the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Loan
Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved and the Trustee has knowledge of such
Companion Loan Holder) and the related Mortgage Loan Seller.
(b) If necessary, the Trustee shall request the related Mortgage
Loan Seller to comply with Section 4(c) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
and Sale Agreement with respect to any Document Defect or other deficiency in a
Mortgage File relating to a Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee becomes aware of any
failure on the part of any Mortgage Loan Seller to do so, the Trustee shall
promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.
(c) Promptly upon its becoming aware of any Material Document Defect
or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
(and the Special Servicer may) notify the related Mortgage Loan Seller in
writing of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be,
and direct such Mortgage Loan Seller that it must, not later than 90 days from
the receipt by such parties of such notice (such 90-day period, the "Initial
Resolution Period"), correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material
Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, or repurchase the
Defective Mortgage Loan (as, if and to the extent required by the related
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement), at the applicable Purchase Price;
provided, however, if such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies in writing to the
Trustee (i) that, as evidenced by an accompanying Opinion of Counsel, any such
Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, does not and
will not cause the Defective Mortgage Loan, to fail to be a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) that such Material
Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, is capable of being
corrected or cured but not within the applicable Initial Resolution Period,
(iii) that such Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding
with the cure of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case
may be, within the applicable Initial Resolution Period, and (iv) that such
Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Breach or Material Document
Defect, as the case may be, will be corrected or cured within an additional
period not to exceed the Resolution Extension Period (a copy of which
certification shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan
Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved and the Trustee has knowledge of such
Companion Loan Holder), then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional
period equal to the applicable Resolution Extension Period to complete such
correction or cure or, failing such, to repurchase the Defective Mortgage Loan;
provided, further, in lieu of effecting any such repurchase (but, in any event,
no later than such repurchase would have to have been completed), such Mortgage
Loan Seller shall be permitted, during the three-month period following the
Startup Day for REMIC I (or during the two-year period following such Startup
Day if the affected Mortgage Loan is a "defective obligation" within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-2(f)), to replace the affected Mortgage Loan with one or more Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loans and to pay a cash amount equal to the applicable
Substitution Shortfall Amount, subject to any other applicable terms and
conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement and this
Agreement. If any substitution for a Deleted Mortgage Loan is not completed in
all respects by the end of the three-month (or, if applicable, the two-year)
period contemplated by the preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall
be barred from doing so (and, accordingly, will be limited to the
cure/repurchase remedies contemplated hereby), and no party hereto shall be
liable thereto for any loss, liability or expense resulting from the expiration
of such period. If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as
contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer shall designate the
Certificate Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the
applicable Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be)
are to be wired, and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee when
such deposit is made. Any such repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan
shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the
sole remedy of each related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be to cure such Material
Document Defect or Material Breach, as applicable, or to repurchase its related
Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion.
(d) If one or more of the Mortgage Loans constituting a
Cross-Collateralized Set are the subject of a Breach or Document Defect, then,
for purposes of (i) determining whether such Breach or Document Defect is a
Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, and (ii) the
application of remedies, such Cross-Collateralized Set shall be treated as a
single Mortgage Loan.
If (x) any Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or
substituted as contemplated in this Section 2.03, (y) such Mortgage Loan is a
Crossed-Collateralized Mortgage Loan or is secured by a portfolio of Mortgaged
Properties and the related loan documents provide that a Mortgaged Property may
be uncrossed from the other Mortgaged Properties in that portfolio, and (z) the
applicable Material Breach or Material Document Defect does not constitute a
Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, as to any
related Crossed-Collateralized Mortgage Loan or applies to only specific
Mortgaged Properties included in such portfolio (without regard to this
paragraph), then the applicable Material Breach or Material Document Defect (as
the case may be) will be deemed to constitute a Material Breach or Material
Document Defect (as the case may be) as to any related Crossed-Collateralized
Mortgage Loan and to each other Mortgaged Property included in such portfolio
and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall repurchase or substitute for any
related Crossed-Collateralized Mortgage Loan in the manner described above
unless, in the case of a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, both of
the following conditions would be satisfied if such Mortgage Loan Seller were to
repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed-Collateralized Mortgage
Loans or affected Mortgaged Properties as to which a Material Breach or Material
Document Defect had occurred without regard to this paragraph as calculated by
the Master Servicer (with the approval of the Special Servicer and the Directing
Certificateholder): (i) the debt service coverage ratio for any related
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties for the four
calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or substitution is not
less than the greater of (a) the debt service coverage ratio immediately prior
to the repurchase, and (b) the debt service coverage ratio on the Closing Date,
subject to a floor of 1.25x, and (ii) the loan-to-value ratio for any related
Crossed-Collateralized Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties is not greater
than the lesser of (a) the loan-to-value ratio immediately prior to the
repurchase and (b) the loan-to-value ratio on the Closing Date, subject to a cap
of 75%. In the event that both of the conditions set forth in the preceding
sentence would be satisfied, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may elect either
to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed-Collateralized
Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Properties as to which the Material Breach or
Material Document Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for the aggregate
Crossed-Collateralized Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties.
To the extent that the related Mortgage Loan Seller repurchases or
substitutes for an affected Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged
Property in the manner prescribed above while the Trustee continues to hold any
related Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans, such Mortgage Loan Seller and the
Depositor shall either uncross the repurchased Cross-Collateralized Mortgage
Loan or affected Mortgaged Property (provided that the Depositor has received an
Opinion of Counsel that uncrossing the repurchased Cross-Collateralized Mortgage
Loan will not adversely affect the status of REMIC I or REMIC II as a REMIC
under the Code) or shall forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other's
Primary Collateral, but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the
Primary Collateral securing its respective affected Cross-Collateralized
Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, including, with respect to the Trustee,
the Primary Collateral securing Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so
long as such exercise does not materially impair the ability of the other party
to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of
remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to
exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties held by such party,
then both parties shall forbear from exercising such remedies until the loan
documents can be modified to remove the threat of such impairment as a result of
the exercise of remedies.
(e) Whenever one or more mortgage loans are substituted for a
Defective Mortgage Loan by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by
this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer shall direct such party effecting the
substitution to deliver the related Mortgage File to the Trustee, to certify
that such substitute mortgage loan satisfies or such substitute mortgage loans
satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of
"Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan" and to send such certification to the
Trustee. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as
contemplated by this Section 2.03 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself
a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant
Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the Defective Mortgage Loan will be
required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby. Monthly Payments due with
respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of
substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding
Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in March 2007 and on
or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund.
Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) on
or prior to the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with
respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related
date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted
by the Master Servicer to the party effecting the related substitution promptly
following receipt.
(f) If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced by the
related Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Master
Servicer shall direct such Mortgage Loan Seller to amend the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if
applicable, the substitution of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan(s); and,
upon its receipt of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Master Servicer
shall deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to
the other parties hereto. Upon any substitution of one or more Replacement
Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Replacement Mortgage Loan(s)
shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects.
(g) Upon receipt of a Request for Release (in the form of Exhibit D
attached hereto) and an Officer's Certificate from the Master Servicer to the
effect that the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall
Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced by the
related Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by this Section 2.03 has been
deposited into the Certificate Account, and further, if applicable, upon receipt
of the Mortgage File for each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) to be
substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with the certification
referred to in Section 2.03(e) from the party effecting the substitution, if
any, the Trustee shall (i) release or cause the release of the Mortgage File and
any Additional Collateral held by or on behalf of the Trustee for the Deleted
Mortgage Loan to the party effecting the repurchase/substitution or its designee
and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer and/or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it and are
reasonably necessary to vest in the party effecting the repurchase/substitution
or its designee the ownership of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, and the Master
Servicer shall notify the applicable Mortgagors of the transfers of the Deleted
Mortgage Loan(s) and any Replacement Mortgage Loan(s). If the Mortgage related
to the Deleted Mortgage Loan has been recorded in the name of MERS or its
designee, the Master Servicer shall take all necessary action to reflect the
release of such Mortgage on the records of MERS. In connection with any such
repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, each of the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver to the party effecting
the repurchase/substitution or its designee any portion of the related Servicing
File, together with any Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds and Additional
Collateral, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at
the expense of the party effecting the repurchase/substitution. The reasonable
"out-of-pocket" costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer and/or the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.03(g), shall be payable
to each of them, first, by the related Mortgage Loan Seller to the extent such
Mortgage Loan Seller was required to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan, and
then as Servicing Advances in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan.
(h) The applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement
provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on
their behalf, respecting any Breach or Document Defect with respect to Mortgage
Loans sold by the related Mortgage Loan Seller. If the related Mortgage Loan
Seller defaults on its obligations to repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as
contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer shall (and the Special
Servicer may) promptly notify the Trustee in writing, and the Trustee shall
notify the Certificateholders. Thereafter, the Master Servicer (with respect to
Performing Loans where the defaulting Mortgage Loan Seller is not an Affiliate
of the Master Servicer) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially
Serviced Loans and with respect to Performing Loans where the defaulting
Mortgage Loan Seller is an Affiliate of the Master Servicer) shall take such
actions on behalf of the Trust with respect to the enforcement of such
repurchase/substitution obligations (and if the Master Servicer is notified or
otherwise becomes aware of a default on the part of such Mortgage Loan Seller in
respect of its obligations under Section 4 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
and Sale Agreement, the Master Servicer shall also take such actions on behalf
of the Trust with respect to the enforcement of such obligations of such
Mortgage Loan Seller), including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
legal proceedings, as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall
determine are in the best interests of the Certificateholders (taken as a
collective whole). Any and all reasonable "out-of-pocket" costs and expenses
incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 2.03(h), including reasonable attorney fees and
expenses to the extent not collected from such Mortgage Loan Seller because such
Mortgage Loan Seller either failed, or was not required, to cure the subject
actual or alleged Breach or Document Defect or repurchase/replace the affected
related Mortgage Loan, shall constitute Servicing Advances in respect of the
affected Mortgage Loan. With respect to the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu
Mortgage Loan, the failure of one of the related Mortgage Loan Sellers to honor
its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement
shall not increase the liability or obligations of the other Mortgage Loan
Seller hereunder or under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement.
Without limiting the Trustee's duties under this Section 2.03, the
Trustee irrevocably designates the Special Servicer, with respect to the
Specially Serviced Loans, and the Master Servicer, with respect to Performing
Loans, for the benefit of Certificateholders to use reasonable efforts to
enforce, after notice to the Trustee, any of the obligations of a Mortgage Loan
Seller under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement. Such
enforcement including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
shall be carried out in such form, to such extent and at such time as the
Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall reasonably
determine is in the best interests of the Certificateholders (taken as a
collective whole). All out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney's fees and
litigation costs and expenses) incurred by the Special Servicer or Master
Servicer, as the case may be, in carrying out its obligations hereunder shall be
reimbursable to the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as the case may be, and
constitute Additional Trust Fund Expenses. The Trustee shall upon request
promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Special Servicer or Master
Servicer, as the case may be, limited powers of attorney and other documents
necessary, delivered to it by the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as the
case may be, for execution, or appropriate to enable the Special Servicer or
Master Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out such enforcement duties
subject to Section 3.01(c).
(i) In the event that either pursuant to a settlement agreed to by a
Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (it being
understood that the provisions of this Section 2.03(i) shall not constitute a
waiver of the Trust's rights under Section 2.03(h) unless the Special Servicer,
on behalf of the Trust, has agreed to accept a loss of value payment in lieu of
the Trust's rights under Section 2.03(h)) or a judicial order, such Mortgage
Loan Seller makes a cash payment, either as a cure of a Material Breach or a
Material Defect, or in lieu of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan on which a
Material Breach or a Material Defect exists or is alleged to exist (each such
payment, a "Loss of Value Payment") with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the
amount of each such Loss of Value Payment shall be determined either (i) by
mutual agreement of the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust with respect to
such Material Breach or Material Defect, as the case may be, and such Mortgage
Loan Seller or (ii) by judicial decision. Provided that such Loss of Value
Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy
available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding
any such Material Breach or Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the
related Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material
Defect or repurchase the Defective Mortgage Loan based on such Material Breach
or Material Defect under any circumstances. In the event there is a Loss of
Value Payment made by a Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with this Section
2.03(i), the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the
Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(g).
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, for purposes of the remedies available to the Certificateholders, or
the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect
or Breach with respect to the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Mortgage Note for the Skyline
Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan is held in equal 50% portions by each of Bank
of America and Eurohypo; (ii) each such 50% portion was transferred to the
Depositor by Bank of America and by Eurohypo; (iii) for purposes of this Section
2.03, the respective portions of the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan
that are subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement (each, a "Skyline
Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion") shall be deemed to constitute
separate Mortgage Loans; (iv) if the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan
is required to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 2.03,
then each of Bank of America and Eurohypo shall be responsible to repurchase or
replace only the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion that is
transferred by the subject Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor, and neither
Bank of America nor Eurohypo shall have any responsibility for the Skyline
Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion that is transferred by the other such
Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor; and (v) the Purchase Price for each
Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion shall equal one-half of the
Purchase Price for the entire Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan. With
respect to the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, any cure by either of
Bank of America or Eurohypo with respect to its respective Skyline Portfolio
Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan
Purchase and Sale Agreement, that also cures the Material Document Defect or
Material Breach with respect to the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan
shall satisfy the cure obligations of both Bank of America and Eurohypo with
respect to such Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.
(a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to each of the
other parties to this Agreement and for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and, in the case of a Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan, as
of the Closing Date, that:
(i) The Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Depositor,
and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the
Depositor, do not violate the Depositor's certificate of incorporation or
bylaws or constitute a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of
time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach
of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or
that is applicable to it or any of its assets.
(iii) The Depositor has the full power and authority to enter into
and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and
has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.
(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by each of the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal
and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor
in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement may be
limited by (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
reorganization, liquidation, fraudulent transfer, moratorium and other
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B)
general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(v) The Depositor is not in violation of, and its execution and
delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the
terms of this Agreement do not constitute a violation of, any law, any
order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or
demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory
authority, which violation, in the Depositor's good faith and reasonable
judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability
of the Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the
financial condition of the Depositor.
(vi) The transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee as
contemplated herein requires no regulatory approval, other than any such
approvals as have been obtained, and is not subject to any bulk transfer
or similar law in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.
(vii) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Depositor's
knowledge, threatened against the Depositor that would prohibit the
Depositor from entering into this Agreement or, in the Depositor's good
faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and adversely
affect either the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or the financial condition of the Depositor.
(viii) Immediately prior to the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by
the Depositor to the Trustee hereunder, the Depositor had good and
marketable title to, and was the sole owner of, each such Mortgage Loan,
free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances and other interests on,
in or to such Mortgage Loan.
(ix) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing or
registration with, any state or federal court or governmental agency or
body is required for the consummation by the Depositor of the transactions
contemplated herein, except for those consents, approvals, authorizations
and orders that previously have been obtained and those filings and
registrations that previously have been completed, and except for those
filings and recordings of loan documents and assignments thereof that are
contemplated by this Agreement to be completed after the Closing Date.
(x) The Depositor has been solvent at all relevant times prior to,
and will not be rendered insolvent by, its transfer of the Mortgage Loans
to the Trustee, pursuant to Section 2.01(b).
(xi) After giving effect to its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to
the Trustee, pursuant to Section 2.01(b), the value of the Depositor's
assets, either taken at their present fair saleable value or at fair
valuation, will exceed the amount of the Depositor's debts and
obligations, including contingent and unliquidated debts and obligations
of the Depositor, and the Depositor will not be left with unreasonably

(a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
service and administer the Loans and any REO Properties that it is obligated to
service and administer pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of the Trustee, and
in the best interests and for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, in the
case of a Whole Loan, on behalf of the related Companion Loan Holder, as a
collective whole (and, in the case of a Whole Loan that is an A/B Whole Loan,
taking into account the subordination of the A/B Companion Loan), in accordance
with any and all applicable laws, the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the
respective Loans and in the case of a Whole Loan, the related Intercreditor
Agreement, and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in accordance with
the Servicing Standard. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to Section
3.21, (i) the Master Servicer shall service and administer all Performing Loans,
and (ii) the Special Servicer shall service and administer (x) each Loan (other
than a Corrected Loan) as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and
is continuing, and (y) each REO Property; provided, however, the Master Servicer
shall continue to collect information and prepare all reports to the Trustee
required hereunder with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans and REO
Properties (and the related REO Loans), and further to render such incidental
services with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as are
specifically provided for herein; and provided, further, the Special Servicer
shall render such incidental services with respect to Performing Loans as are
specifically provided for herein. The Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of
the Trust, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property.
(b) Subject to Section 3.01(a) the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall each have full power and authority, acting alone or through
Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with
such servicing and administration that it may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer
(with respect to Performing Loans and Corrected Loans) and the Special Servicer
(with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans), in its own name or in
the name of the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if a Whole Loan is
affected, the related Companion Loan Holder, the Trustee or any of them: (i) any
and all financing statements, control agreements, continuation statements and
other documents or instruments necessary to perfect or maintain the lien created
by any Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the
related Mortgaged Property and other related collateral; (ii) any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge, and all other comparable instruments; and (iii) subject to Sections

extensions, amendments and consents. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall,
at the written request of a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, furnish, or cause to be so furnished, to the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, any limited powers of attorney and
other documents (each of which shall be prepared by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable) necessary or appropriate to enable it to carry
out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided that the Trustee
shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and the Trustee will be indemnified
pursuant to, and subject to the limitations set forth in, Section 8.05 for any
losses or expenses it incurs due to the Master Servicer's use of such power of
attorney.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall without the Trustee's
written consent: (i) except as provided in Section 3.30, initiate any action,
suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee's name without indicating the Master
Servicer's or such Special Servicer's, as applicable, representative capacity,
or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually does cause,
the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.
The Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer shall indemnify the
Trustee for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee
in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney by
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.
(d) The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer to the Trustee and, unless they are the same person, each other under
this Agreement is intended by the parties to this Agreement to be that of an
independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
(e) The parties hereto acknowledge that each of the 000 Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxx Pari Passu Whole Loan, the Forest Hills Corporate Center A/B Whole Loan,
the Pacific Shores Pari Passu Whole Loan, the Richmond Ridge Apartments A/B

Apartments Intercreditor Agreement, (v) the respective rights and obligations of
the "Holders" under the Skyline Portfolio Intercreditor Agreement, including
with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of Skyline

accordance with Section 1(b) of the Skyline Portfolio Intercreditor Agreement
and (vi) the respective rights and obligations of the "Holders" under the Solana
Intercreditor Agreement, including with respect to the allocation of collections
on or in respect of Solana Pari Passu Whole Loan and the making of payments to

Agreement.
Unless otherwise expressly provided for in the related Intercreditor
Agreement, if, at such time as a Mortgage Loan (other than the Skyline Portfolio
Pari Passu Mortgage Loan) included in a Whole Loan shall no longer be part of
the Trust Fund, a separate servicing agreement with respect to such Whole Loan
has not been entered into, then, until such time as a separate servicing
agreement is entered into and any required rating confirmation is obtained, and
notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, the
Master Servicer and, if applicable, the Special Servicer shall continue to
service such Whole Loan or any related REO Property, as the case may be, under
this Agreement as if it were a separate servicing agreement, for the benefit of
the parties under the related Intercreditor Agreement, with: (i) such Whole Loan
and the related Mortgaged Property constituting the sole assets thereunder; (ii)
references to the "Trustee", "Trust" and "Certificateholders" (or any sub-group
thereof) being construed to refer to the new "Note A Holder" or its equivalent
under the related Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable and (iii) references to
the "Directing Certificateholder" or its equivalent being construed to refer to
the "Controlling Holder", "Lead Lender" or its respective equivalent under the
related Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, from and
after the date that such Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund and
until the servicing and administration of such Whole Loan is to be governed by a
separate servicing agreement and not by this Agreement, and notwithstanding any
other provision hereof: (i) no P&I Advances shall be made by the Master
Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee in respect of such Mortgage Loan and
(ii) the holders of such Whole Loan shall be solely responsible for all fees,
costs, expenses, liabilities, indemnities and other amounts payable or
reimbursable to any Person in respect of such Mortgage Loan and any related REO
Property and in no event shall any such fees, costs, expenses, liabilities,
indemnities, or other amounts be payable out of the Mortgage Pool or any
collections relating thereto (except to the extent accrued and unpaid while such
Mortgage Loan was included as part of the Trust Fund). With, respect to a Whole
Loan, subject to any express provision contained in the related Intercreditor
Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein shall be deemed to override the
provisions of such Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the rights of the
Companion Loan Holder(s) thereunder. With respect to the servicing and
administration duties and obligations with respect to a Whole Loan, in the event
of any inconsistency between the provisions of an Intercreditor Agreement and
the provisions of this Agreement, or as to any matter on which such
Intercreditor Agreement is silent or makes reference to this Agreement, this
Agreement shall govern.
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that the servicing and administration of the
Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan shall continue hereunder even if one
or more of the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portions or any
related REO Property is no longer part of the Trust Fund, until such time as no
Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion is included in the Trust
Fund; provided that if both Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portions
are not included in the Trust Fund, the servicing and administration of the
Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan shall continue hereunder (and all
Servicing Fees shall continue to accrue and be paid hereunder) until a separate
servicing agreement is entered into; provided, however, from and after the date
that either Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion is no longer part
of the Trust Fund and until the servicing and administration of the Skyline
Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion is to be governed by a separate
servicing agreement and not by this Agreement, and notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, (i) the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan shall be
serviced for the benefit of the holder of the Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu
Mortgage Loan Portion that is not included in the Trust Fund, the
Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holders, as a collective
whole, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) no P&I
Advances shall be made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of any
Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion that is no longer part of the
Trust Fund and (iii) the holder of such Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage

related REO Property and in no event shall any such fees, costs, expenses,
liabilities, indemnities, or other amounts be payable out of the Mortgage Pool
or any collections relating thereto (except to the extent accrued and unpaid
while such Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion was included as
part of the Trust Fund).
Section 3.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
(a) The Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) and the
Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall undertake
reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Loans and shall follow such collection procedures as are
consistent with applicable law, the express terms of this Agreement and the
related loan documents and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, the
Servicing Standard, provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special
Servicer shall, with respect to any ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment
Date, take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of Excess Interest
(other than the making of requests for its collection), unless (i) the taking of
an enforcement action with respect to the payment of other amounts due under
such Loan is, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer,
and without regard to such Excess Interest, also necessary, appropriate and
consistent with the Servicing Standard or (ii) all other amounts due under such
Loan have been paid, the payment of such Excess Interest has not been forgiven
in accordance with Section 3.20 and, in the good faith and reasonable judgment
of the Special Servicer, the Liquidation Proceeds expected to be recovered in
connection with such enforcement action will cover the anticipated costs of such
enforcement action and, if applicable, any associated Advance Interest.
Consistent with the foregoing, the Special Servicer (as to Specially Serviced
Loans) may waive any Default Charges in connection with any specific delinquent
payment on a Loan it is obligated to service hereunder. Consistent with the
foregoing and in each case subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master
Servicer (or if applicable a Sub-Servicer) may grant a one time waiver of
Default Charges in connection with a late payment, provided that for any waiver
thereafter of Default Charges in connection with a Loan that is 30 days or more
past due, and with respect to which Advances, Advance Interest or Additional
Trust Fund Expenses have been incurred and remain unreimbursed to the Trust, the
Master Servicer must obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder
before granting such waiver subject to the obligation of the Master Servicer to
act in accordance with applicable law and the Servicing Standard. The Directing
Certificateholder's consent shall be deemed granted if it has not responded in
writing (which may be via fax or e-mail) within ten Business Days of its receipt
of such request.
(b) (i) At least 90 days prior to the maturity date of each Balloon
Loan that is included in the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall send a notice
to the related Mortgagor of such maturity date (with a copy to be sent to the
Special Servicer) and shall request written confirmation that the Balloon
Payment will be paid by such maturity date.
(ii) Within 60 days after the Closing Date (or within such shorter
period as may be required by the applicable Letter of Credit), the Master
Servicer shall notify each provider of a Letter of Credit for any Loan
that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall be the beneficiary under
each such Letter of Credit. The Master Servicer shall maintain and execute
each such Letter of Credit, if applicable, in accordance with the related
loan documents.
(iii) Within 60 days after the later of (A) the Closing Date as to
each Loan that is secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a
Ground Lease (or within such shorter period as may be required by the
applicable Ground Lease) and (B) the Master Servicer's receipt of a copy
of the related Ground Lease, the Master Servicer shall notify the related
ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Trust pursuant
to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of
default under the related Ground Lease should thereafter be forwarded to
the Master Servicer.
All amounts received by the Trust with respect to a Whole Loan shall
be applied to amounts due and owing thereunder (including for principal and
accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of this
Agreement, the related Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgage, the related loan
agreement, if any, and the related Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 3.03 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Servicing Account; Servicing Advances; Reserve Accounts.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, as to all the Loans, establish and
maintain one or more accounts (each a "Servicing Account"), into which all
Escrow Payments received by it with respect to the Loans shall be deposited and
retained. Subject to any terms of the related loan documents that specify the
nature of the account in which Escrow Payments shall be held, each Servicing
Account shall be an Eligible Account. Withdrawals of amounts so collected in
respect of any Loan (and interest earned thereon) from a Servicing Account may
be made only: (i) to effect payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and comparable items in respect of
related Mortgaged Property; (ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances
made thereby to cover any of the items described in the immediately preceding
clause (i); (iii) to refund to the related Mortgagor any sums as may be
determined to be overages; (iv) to pay interest or other income, if required and
as described below, to the related Mortgagor on balances in the Servicing
Account (or, if and to the extent not payable to the related Mortgagor, to pay
such interest or other income (up to the amount of any Net Investment Earnings
in respect of such Servicing Account for each Collection Period) to the Master
Servicer); (v) disburse Insurance Proceeds if required to be applied to the
repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property; or (vi) to clear and
terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 9.01. The Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid
to the related Mortgagor interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in
a Servicing Account maintained thereby, if required by law or the terms of the
related Loan. If the Master Servicer shall deposit into a Servicing Account any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such
amount from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Special Servicer shall within two Business Days after
receipt deliver all Escrow Payments received by it to the Master Servicer for
deposit into the applicable Servicing Account.
(b) The Master Servicer shall as to each Loan, including each
Specially Serviced Loan, (i) maintain accurate records with respect to the
related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes,
assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and
the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof
and (ii) use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to
obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including
renewal premiums) and effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or
termination date. For purposes of effecting any such payment, the Master
Servicer shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related
loan documents; provided that if such Loan does not require the related
Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, each of the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, as to those
Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and subject to and in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, enforce the requirement of the related Mortgage
that the Mortgagor make payments in respect of such items at the time they first
become due.
(c) In accordance with the Servicing Standard and for all Loans, but
subject to Section 3.11(h), the Master Servicer shall make a Servicing Advance
with respect to each Mortgaged Property (including each Mortgaged Property
relating to a Specially Serviced Loan) all such funds as are necessary for the
purpose of effecting the timely payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments
and other similar items, (ii) ground rents (if applicable), and (iii) premiums
on Insurance Policies, in each instance prior to the applicable penalty or
termination date if and to the extent that (x) Escrow Payments (if any)
collected from the related Mortgagor are insufficient to pay such item when due,
and (y) the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis;
provided that, in the case of amounts described in the preceding clause (i), the
Master Servicer shall not make a Servicing Advance of any such amount until the
Master Servicer (in accordance with the Servicing Standard) has actual knowledge
that the Mortgagor has not made such payments and reasonably anticipates that
such amounts will not be paid by the related Mortgagor on or before the
applicable penalty date. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first
instance from related collections from the Mortgagor and further as provided in
Section 3.05. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the payment
of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in
respect of such Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including
calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
respective unpaid principal balances or Stated Principal Balances of the related
Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Loans so permit; provided that
this sentence shall not be construed to limit the rights of the Master Servicer
on behalf of the Trust or, if a Whole Loan is involved, on behalf of the related
Companion Loan Holder, to enforce any obligations of the related Mortgagor under
such Loan.
(d) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, as applicable,
one or more accounts (the "Reserve Accounts"), in which all Reserve Funds, if
any, received by it with respect to the Loans shall be deposited and retained.
As and to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard and the related loan
documents, the Master Servicer may make withdrawals of amounts so deposited, and
draws under any Letter of Credit delivered in lieu of Reserve Funds, to pay for,
or to reimburse the related Mortgagor in connection with, the costs associated
with the related tenant improvements, leasing commissions, repairs,
replacements, capital improvements and/or environmental testing and remediation,
litigation and/or other special expenses at or with respect to the related
Mortgaged Property for which such Reserve Funds were intended or such Letter of
Credit was delivered and, in the case of a Reserve Fund constituting debt
service reserve accounts, to apply amounts on deposit therein in respect of
principal and interest on the related Loan. In addition, as and to the extent
consistent with the Servicing Standard and the related loan documents, the
Master Servicer may make withdrawals of amounts so deposited, and draws under
any Letter of Credit so delivered, to prepay the Loan in the event certain
leasing or other economic criteria are not satisfied at the related Mortgaged
Property (but only if such prepayment is required by the related loan documents
or continuing to hold such funds or Letter of Credit as Additional Collateral is
not consistent with the Servicing Standard), or to release such amounts to the
related Mortgagor or otherwise apply such amounts for any other appropriate
purpose in the event that such criteria are satisfied, and the Master Servicer
may return any Letter of Credit so delivered to the related Mortgagor. Subject
to the terms and limitations of the related loan documents, each Reserve Account
shall be an Eligible Account. Interest and other income, if any, earned on funds
on deposit in any Reserve Account held by the Master Servicer (to the extent of
any Net Investment Earnings with respect to such Reserve Account for any
Collection Period), shall be for the benefit of and payable to the Master
Servicer, unless otherwise required to be paid to the related Mortgagor by law
or the terms of the related Loan. Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Master Servicer to enable the Master Servicer to make any draw under any Letter
of Credit shall constitute a Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer shall
make reasonable efforts to recover such expenses from the related Mortgagor to
the extent the Mortgagor is required to pay such expenses under the terms of the
related loan documents.
(e) To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to
be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Loan, the Master Servicer
shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation thereof within a
reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which
such plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent any repairs,
capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or
completed pursuant to the terms of the Loan, the Master Servicer shall request
from the Mortgagor written confirmation of such actions and remediations within
a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which
such action or remediations are required by the related loan documents to be or
to have been taken or completed. To the extent a Mortgagor shall fail to
promptly respond to any inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the Master
Servicer shall determine whether the related Mortgagor has failed to perform its
obligations under the related Loan and report any such failure to the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is
involved) and the Directing Certificateholder within a reasonable time after the
date as of which such actions or remediations are required to be or to have been
taken or completed. The Master Servicer shall promptly give written notice to
the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole
Loan is involved), the Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved) and
the Directing Certificateholder if the Master Servicer shall determine that any
Mortgagor has failed to perform its obligations under the related loan documents
in respect of environmental matters.
Section 3.04 Certificate Account, Distribution Account, REMIC I
Distribution Account, REMIC II Distribution Account, Excess Interest
Distribution Account, Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, the Class A-MFL
Floating Rate Account, the Interest Reserve Account and Whole Loan Custodial
Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected
and received by it in connection with the Mortgage Pool separate and apart from
its own funds and general assets. The Master Servicer shall establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Certificate Account"), held on
behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The
Certificate Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited into the Certificate Account, within one
Business Day of receipt (in the case of payments by Mortgagors or other
collections on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans) or as otherwise required
hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by or on
behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal,
interest, Escrow Payments and any other amounts due and payable on the Mortgage
Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, which payments shall be delivered promptly
to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its related designee, with negotiable
instruments endorsed as necessary and appropriate without recourse):
(i) all payments, from whatever source, or transfers from a debt
service reserve account, on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments, from whatever source, or transfers from a debt
service reserve account, on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans
including Default Interest and Excess Interest;
(iii) all Prepayment Premiums received in respect of the Mortgage
Loans;
(iv) all payments, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of the Mortgage Loans together
with any amounts representing recoveries of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amounts or Nonrecoverable Advances in respect of the related Mortgage
Loans;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect
to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Certificate Account;
(vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(b) in connection with losses
resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket or master single insurance
policy;
(vii) any amounts required to be transferred to the Certificate
Account from the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c);
(viii) any amounts representing payments made by Mortgagors that are
allocable to cover items in respect of which Servicing Advances have been
made;
(ix) any proceeds from the repurchase or substitution of Mortgage
Loans under Section 2.03;
(x) insofar as they do not constitute Escrow Payments, any amounts
paid by a Mortgagor specifically to cover items for which a Servicing
Advance has been made or that represent a recovery of property protection
expenses from a Mortgagor;
(xi) the Interest Deposit Amount and Initial Interest Reserve
Deposit Amount received from the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.01(b);
and
(xii) any Loss of Value Payments, as set forth in Section 3.05(g);
provided that any amounts described above (other than clause (v) of this Section
3.04(a) that relate to the Whole Loan or any related REO Property (other than
Liquidation Proceeds derived from the sale of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to
Section 3.18 to or through the related Note B Holder pursuant to the related
Intercreditor Agreement) shall be deposited into the Whole Loan Custodial
Account, and, in any such case, shall thereafter be transferred as provided in
Section 3.05(f).
The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Certificate Account
shall be exclusive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual
payments from Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds, late
payment charges, assumption fees, assumption application fees, earnout fees,
extension fees, substitution fees, modification fees, charges for beneficiary
statements or demands and amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient
funds, need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account.
The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Special Servicer any of the
foregoing items received by it, if and to the extent that such items constitute
Additional Special Servicing Compensation payable to the Special Servicer. If
the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Certificate Account any amount not
required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from
the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through
(iv) and (viii) of this Section 3.04(a) with respect to any Loan (for the
avoidance of doubt, not including any REO Loan), the Special Servicer shall
promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day after receipt of available
funds, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the
Certificate Account in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, unless
the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a
particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement.
Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO
Property (other than an REO Property related to a Whole Loan) shall be deposited
by the Special Servicer into the REO Account and remitted to the Master Servicer
for deposit into the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c). With
respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer,
the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Master
Servicer unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of
a restrictive endorsement.
(b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more trust
accounts (collectively, the "Distribution Account") to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Trust as holder of the Class A-MFL Regular Interest and the REMIC
I Regular Interests, and for the Certificateholders. The Distribution Account
shall be an Eligible Account. On or prior to 1:00 p.m. New York City time on
each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, for deposit into the Distribution Account, an aggregate amount of
immediately available funds equal to the Master Servicer Remittance Amount for
such Master Servicer Remittance Date. If, at 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
any Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee has not received the Master
Servicer Remittance Amount, the Trustee shall provide notice to the Master
Servicer in the same manner as required by Section 4.03(a) with respect to P&I
Advances.
In the event that the Master Servicer fails to remit the Master
Servicer Remittance Amount for such Master Servicer Remittance Date on the
related Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall pay to the
Trustee interest at the Reimbursement Rate on the Master Servicer Remittance
Amount for the period from and including such Master Servicer Remittance Date to
but excluding the date on which the Master Servicer Remittance Amount is
actually received by the Trustee.
In addition, the Master Servicer shall, as and when required
hereunder, deliver to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account:
(i) any P&I Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer in
accordance with Section 4.03(a);
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.19(e) in connection with Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls; and
(iii) any Liquidation Proceeds paid by the Master Servicer or a
Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class in connection with the
purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties pursuant to
Section 9.01, exclusive of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds
required to be deposited into the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
9.01.
The Trustee shall, upon receipt, deposit into the Distribution
Account any and all amounts received or advanced by the Trustee that are
required by the terms of this Agreement to be deposited therein.
All such amounts deposited in respect of the Mortgage Loans (other
than Excess Interest, if any) shall, on each Distribution Date, be deemed to be
deposited into the REMIC I Distribution Account in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. All such amounts deposited in respect of such Excess Interest shall be
deemed to be deposited into the Excess Interest Distribution Account.
(c) (i) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the REMIC I
Distribution Account, as a sub-account of the Distribution Account, in the name
of the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (other than
Holders of the Class V Certificates). The REMIC I Distribution Account shall be
established and maintained as an Eligible Account or as a sub-account of the
Distribution Account. With respect to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
withdraw or be deemed to withdraw from the REMIC I Distribution Account and
deposit or be deemed to deposit into the REMIC II Distribution Account on or
before such date the amount of the Available Distribution Amount (including P&I
Advances) and Prepayment Premiums to be distributed in respect of the REMIC I
Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(i) and Section 4.01(c)(iii) on
such date.
(ii) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the REMIC II
Distribution Account, as a sub-account of the Distribution Account, in the
name of the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the REMIC II
Certificateholders. The REMIC II Distribution Account shall be established
and maintained as an Eligible Account or as a sub-account of the
Distribution Account. With respect to each Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall withdraw or be deemed to withdraw from the REMIC II Distribution
Account the amount of the Available Distribution Amount (including P&I
Advances) and Prepayment Premiums to be distributed in respect of the
REMIC II Certificates (other than the Class A-MFL Certificates) and the
Class A-MFL Regular Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(b) and Section
4.01(c)(i) on such date.
(iii) [RESERVED].
(iv) The Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
or sub-accounts (collectively, the "Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account")
in the name of the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account shall be an Eligible Account. On each Master Servicer
Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Certificate
Account and remit to the Trustee for deposit into the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account all Excess Liquidation Proceeds received during the
Collection Period ending on the Business Day prior to such Master Servicer
Remittance Date.
(v) The Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts or
sub-accounts (collectively, the "Excess Interest Distribution Account"),
in the name of the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Class V
Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the Excess Interest
Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account. On each Master Servicer
Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Certificate
Account and remit to the Trustee for deposit into the Excess Interest
Distribution Account all Excess Interest received during the Collection
Period ending on the Business Day prior to such Master Servicer Remittance
Date.
(vi) On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and
maintain the Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account in trust for the benefit of
the Class A-MFL Certificateholders and the Class A-MFL Swap Counterparty.
The Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account shall (i) at all times be an
Eligible Account and (ii) relate solely to the Class A-MFL Certificates
and amounts payable in respect of the Class A-MFL Swap Contract. The
Trustee shall deposit into the Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account all
amounts received in respect of distributions on the Class A-MFL Regular
Interest as specified in Section 3.05(h), and shall immediately deposit
into the Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account all amounts received under the
Class A-MFL Swap Contract.
(d) Funds in the Certificate Account may be invested only in
Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. The
Master Servicer shall give notice to the other parties hereto of the location of
the Certificate Account as of the Closing Date and of the new location of the
Certificate Account prior to any change thereof. The Distribution Account, the
REMIC I Distribution Account, the REMIC II Distribution Account, the Class A-MFL
Floating Rate Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account shall be established at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee as of the Closing Date, and the Trustee shall give notice to the
other parties hereto of the new location of the Distribution Account, the REMIC
I Distribution Account, the REMIC II Distribution Account, the Class A-MFL
Floating Rate Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account prior to any change thereof. Funds in the Excess
Interest Distribution Account, if established, and the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account, if established, shall remain uninvested.
(e) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
Whole Loan Custodial Accounts in which the Master Servicer shall deposit or
cause to be deposited within one Business Day of receipt (in the case of
payments by Mortgagors or other collections on or in respect of a Whole Loan) or
as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received
or made by or on behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in
respect of principal, interest and any other amounts due and payable on such
Whole Loan on or before the Cut-off Date, which payments shall be held as
provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement):
(i) all payments, from whatever source, or transfers from a
debt service reserve account, on account of principal, including
Principal Prepayments, on such Whole Loan;
(ii) all payments, from whatever source, or transfers from a
debt service reserve account, on account of interest on such Whole
Loan;
(iii) all Prepayment Premiums received in respect of such
Whole Loan;
(iv) all payments, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds
and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of such Whole Loan,
together with any amounts representing recoveries of Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amounts or Nonrecoverable Advances in respect of the
related Whole Loan;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred
with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in such Whole
Loan Custodial Account;
(vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(b) in
connection with losses with respect to such Whole Loan resulting
from a deductible clause in a blanket or master single insurance
policy;
(vii) any amounts required to be transferred from the related
REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c);
(viii) any amounts representing payments made by Mortgagors
that are allocable to cover items in respect of which Servicing
Advances have been made; and
(ix) insofar as they do not constitute Escrow Payments, any
amounts paid by the related Mortgagor with respect to the related
Whole Loan specifically to cover items for which a Servicing Advance
has been made or that represent a recovery of property protection
expenses from a Mortgagor.
The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Whole Loan Custodial
Accounts shall be exclusive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds,
assumption fees, assumption application fees, earnout fees, extension fees,
substitution fees, modification fees, charges for beneficiary statements or
demands and amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, need
not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Whole Loan Custodial Accounts.
The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Special Servicer any of the
foregoing items received by it, if and to the extent that such items constitute
Additional Special Servicing Compensation payable to the Special Servicer. If
the Master Servicer shall deposit into any Whole Loan Custodial Account any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such
amount from such Whole Loan Custodial Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision to the contrary
in this Agreement, the Master Servicer may maintain the Certificate Account and
the respective Whole Loan Custodial Accounts as multiple separate sub-accounts
of a single Eligible Account; provided that: (i) all deposits into and
withdrawals from such single Eligible Account shall be made in the same manner
as would be the case if the Certificate Account and the respective Whole Loan
Custodial Accounts were maintained as multiple separate accounts; (ii) all
distributions on the Certificates will be calculated and made in the same manner
as would be the case if the Certificate Account and the respective Whole Loan
Custodial Accounts were maintained as multiple separate accounts; (iii) the
Master Servicer shall make credits and debits to those multiple sub-accounts in
a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement governing deposits and
withdrawals of funds to and from the Certificate Account and the respective
Whole Loan Custodial Accounts, respectively; (iv) the Master Servicer's
maintaining the Certificate Account and the respective Whole Loan Custodial
Accounts as multiple separate sub-accounts of a single Eligible Account (as
opposed to in the form of multiple separate Eligible Accounts) shall not
adversely affect any of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holder (if a
Whole Loan is affected); and (v) such single Eligible Account shall be entitled
substantially as follows: "Bank of America, National Association, as Master
Servicer, in trust for the registered holders of Banc of America Commercial
Mortgage Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-1, and
the respective Companion Loan Holder, as their interests may appear,
Certificate/Custodial Account".
Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through
(iv) and (viii) of this Section 3.04(e) with respect to such Whole Loan (for the
avoidance of doubt, not including any REO Loan), the Special Servicer shall
promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day after receipt of available
funds, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the applicable
Whole Loan Custodial Account in accordance with the second preceding paragraph,
unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard,
that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive
endorsement. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to
an REO Property (other than an REO Property that is not related to a Whole Loan)
shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the related REO Account and
remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the related Whole Loan
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c). With respect to any such amounts
paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall
endorse such check to the order of the Master Servicer unless the Special
Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular
item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement.
Funds in a Whole Loan Custodial Account may be invested only in
Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. The
Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the
Depositor and the related Companion Loan Holder, of the location of each Whole
Loan Custodial Account as of the Closing Date and of the new location of a Whole
Loan Custodial Account prior to any change thereof.
(f) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Interest
Reserve Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master
Servicer is hereby authorized to make deposits in and withdrawals from the
Interest Reserve Account, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The
Interest Reserve Account shall be maintained as a segregated account separate
from other accounts.
(g) If any Loss of Value Payments are received in connection with a
Material Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, pursuant to or as
contemplated by Section 2.03(i), the Special Servicer shall establish and
maintain one or more non-interest bearing accounts (collectively, the "Loss of
Value Reserve Fund") to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, for purposes of holding such Loss of Value Payments. Each
account that constitutes the Loss of Value Reserve Fund shall be an Eligible
Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall,
upon receipt, deposit in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund all Loss of Value
Payments received by it.

of which such Servicing Advance was made, and (B) Insurance Proceeds,

other clause of this Section 3.05(a) (exclusive of any such amount arising
in respect of a Mortgage Loan included in a Whole Loan to the extent such
payment was paid out of collections from the related Whole Loan Custodial
Account), it being acknowledged that this clause (xviii) shall not be
construed to modify any limitation otherwise set forth in this Agreement
on the time at which any Person is entitled to payment or reimbursement of
any amount or the funds from which any such payment or reimbursement is
permitted to be made;
(xix) to pay the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Mortgage

included in a Whole Loan to the extent such payment was paid out of
collections from the Whole Loan Custodial Account), if any, previously
purchased or otherwise removed from the Trust Fund by such Person pursuant
to or as contemplated by this Agreement, all amounts received thereon
subsequent to the date of purchase;
(xx) to transfer Excess Liquidation Proceeds (exclusive of Excess

(xxi) to withdraw any amounts deposited in error; and
(xxii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account at the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
If amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account at any particular
time (after withdrawing any portion of such amounts deposited into the
Certificate Account in error) are insufficient to satisfy all payments,
reimbursements and remittances to be made therefrom as set forth in clauses (ii)
through (xxii) of this Section 3.05(a), then the corresponding withdrawals from
the Certificate Account shall be made in the following priority and subject to
the following rules: (A) if the payment, reimbursement or remittance is to be
made from a specific source of funds, then such payment, reimbursement or
remittance shall be made from that specific source of funds on a pro rata basis
with any and all other payments, reimbursements and remittances to be made from
such specific source of funds; and (B) if the payment, reimbursement or
remittance can be made from any funds on deposit in the Certificate Account,
then (following any withdrawals made from the Certificate Account in accordance
with the immediately preceding clause (A) of this Section 3.05(a)) such payment,
reimbursement or remittance shall be made from such general funds remaining on a
pro rata basis with any and all other payments, reimbursements or remittances to
be made from such general funds; provided that any reimbursements of Advances in
respect of any particular Mortgage Loan or REO Property out of the Certificate
Account pursuant to any of clauses (ii), (vi) and (vii) of this Section 3.05(a),
and any payments of interest thereon out of the Certificate Account pursuant to
either of clauses (viii) and (ix) of this Section 3.05(a), shall be made (to the
extent of their respective entitlements to such reimbursements and/or payments):
first, to the Trustee and second, pro rata, to the Master Servicer and Special
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting
records, on a loan-by-loan basis (and on a property-by-property basis for REO
Loans) when appropriate, in connection with any withdrawal from the Certificate
Account pursuant to clauses (ii) through (xxii) of this Section 3.05(a)
sufficient to determine the amounts attributable to REMIC I or, in the case of a
withdrawal not related to a specific Mortgage Loan, allocable pro rata based on
relative aggregate Stated Principal Balances.
The Master Servicer shall pay to the Special Servicer (or to third
party contractors at the direction of the Special Servicer) from the Certificate
Account amounts permitted to be paid to it (or to such third party contractors)
therefrom promptly upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the
Special Servicer describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer
(or such third party contractors) is entitled. The Master Servicer may rely
conclusively on any such certificate and shall have no duty to recalculate the
amounts stated therein. The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate
accounting for each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Property, on a loan-by-loan
and property-by-property basis, for the purpose of justifying any request for
withdrawal from the Certificate Account.
Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a
Nonrecoverable Advance, instead of obtaining reimbursement out of general
collections immediately, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable, may, in its sole discretion, elect to obtain
reimbursement for such Nonrecoverable Advance over time and the unreimbursed
portion of such Advance will accrue interest at the Reimbursement Rate. If such
an election to obtain reimbursement over time is made, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, will, during the first six
months after such nonrecoverability determination was made, only seek
reimbursement for such Nonrecoverable Advance from collections of principal
(with such Nonrecoverable Advances being reimbursed before Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amounts). After such initial six months, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, may continue to seek
reimbursement for such Nonrecoverable Advance solely from collections of
principal or may seek reimbursement for such Nonrecoverable Advance from general
collections, in each case for a period of time not to exceed an additional six
months (with such Nonrecoverable Advances being reimbursed before
Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts). In the event that the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, wishes to seek reimbursement
over time after the second six-month period discussed in the preceding sentence,
then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
may continue to seek reimbursement for such Nonrecoverable Advance solely from
collections of principal or may seek reimbursement for such Nonrecoverable
Advance from general collections, in either case for such a longer period of
time as agreed to by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee
(as applicable) and the Directing Certificateholder (with each such applicable
party having the right to agree or disagree in its sole discretion) (with such
Nonrecoverable Advances being reimbursed before Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amounts). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after such a determination
to obtain reimbursement over time, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or
the Trustee, as applicable, may, in its sole discretion, decide to obtain
reimbursement immediately. The fact that a decision to recover such
Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some Classes of
Certificateholders to the detriment of other Classes shall not, with respect to
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, constitute a violation of the
Servicing Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee, constitute a violation of
any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or contractual duty hereunder. The
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, will give
each Rating Agency three weeks prior notice of its intent to obtain
reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances from interest collections as described
above unless (1) the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (or Trustee, if
applicable) determines in its sole discretion that waiting three weeks after
such a notice could jeopardize the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's
(or Trustee's, if applicable) ability to recover Nonrecoverable Advances, (2)
changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer (or Trustee, if applicable) that could
affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable
Advance, whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the
determination in clause (1) of this paragraph, or (3) the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer has not timely received from the Trustee information requested
by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to consider in determining whether to
defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1),
(2) or (3) of this paragraph applies, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer
(or Trustee, if applicable) shall give each Rating Agency notice of an
anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the
Certificate Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as
reasonably practicable in such circumstances. The Master Servicer or Special
Servicer (or Trustee, if applicable) shall have no liability for any loss,
liability or expense resulting from any notice provided to each Rating Agency
contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.
If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, is reimbursed out of general collections for any unreimbursed
Advances that are determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances (together with any
interest accrued and payable thereon), then (for purposes of calculating
distributions on the Certificates) such reimbursement and payment of interest
shall be deemed to have been made: first, out of the Principal Distribution
Amount, that, but for its application to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance
and/or to pay interest thereon, would be included in the Available Distribution
Amount for any subsequent Distribution Date, and second, out of other amounts
that, but for their application to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to
pay interest thereon, would be included in the Available Distribution Amount for
any subsequent Distribution Date.
If and to the extent that any payment is deemed to be applied as
contemplated in the paragraph above to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance or to
pay interest thereon, then the Principal Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date shall be reduced, to not less than zero, by the amount of such
reimbursement. If and to the extent (i) any Advance is determined to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) such Advance and/or interest thereon is reimbursed
out of the Principal Distribution Amount as contemplated above and (iii) the
particular item for which such Advance was originally made is subsequently
collected out of payments or other collections in respect of the related
Mortgage Loan, then the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date
that corresponds to the Collection Period in which such item was recovered shall
be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of such item and
(B) any previous reduction in the Principal Distribution Amount for a prior
Distribution Date as contemplated in the paragraph above resulting from the
reimbursement of the subject Advance and/or the payment of interest thereon.
To the extent a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to a Mortgage
Loan is required to be reimbursed from the principal portion of the general
collections on the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 3.05(a), such
reimbursement shall be made first, from the principal collections available on
the Mortgage Loans included in the same Loan Group as such Mortgage Loan and if
the principal collections in such Loan Group are not sufficient to make such
reimbursement in full, then from the principal collections available in the
other Loan Group (after giving effect to any reimbursement of Nonrecoverable
Advances related to such other Loan Group). To the extent the Principal
Distribution Amount for a Distribution Date is increased as set forth in
preceding paragraph, such increase shall be allocated first to the principal
collections in the Loan Group with respect to which the Mortgage Loan as to
which the related Nonrecoverable Advance was made does not belong, and then to
the Loan Group with respect to which the Mortgage Loan as to which the related
Nonrecoverable Advance was made does belong.
If one or more unreimbursed Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts
exist, then such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts will be reimbursable only
from amounts in the Certificate Account that represent collections of principal
on the Mortgage Loans (net of any collections of principal applied to
reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances or interest thereon); provided,
however, on any Distribution Date when (1) less than 10% of the initial
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool is outstanding and (2)
the sum of the aggregate unpaid Nonrecoverable Advances plus the aggregate
unpaid Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts that have not been reimbursed to
the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, exceeds 20% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool then outstanding,
then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
may obtain reimbursement of any outstanding Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount
from principal collections or any other amounts in the Certificate Account,
including but not limited to interest collected on the Mortgage Loans, if
principal is not sufficient to pay such amounts; provided, further, however, the
foregoing shall not in any manner limit the right of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to choose voluntarily to seek
reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts solely from collections
of principal. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, will give each Rating Agency three weeks prior notice of its intent
to obtain reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts from interest
collections as described in the preceding sentence.
If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, is reimbursed out of general collections for any Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amounts, then (for purposes of calculating distributions on the
Certificates) such reimbursement and payment of interest shall be deemed to have
been made: first, out of the Principal Distribution Amount, that, but for its
application to reimburse a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, would be
included in the Available Distribution Amount for any subsequent Distribution
Date, and second, out of other amounts that, but for their application to
reimburse a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, would be included in the
Available Distribution Amount for any subsequent Distribution Date.
If and to the extent that any payment is deemed to be applied as
contemplated in the paragraph above to reimburse a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amount, then the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date shall
be reduced, to not less than zero, by the amount of such reimbursement. If and
to the extent (i) such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount is reimbursed out of
the Principal Distribution Amount as contemplated above and (ii) the particular
item for which such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount was originally made is
subsequently collected out of payments or other collections in respect of the
related Mortgage Loan, then the Principal Distribution Amount for the
Distribution Date that corresponds to the Collection Period in which such item
was recovered shall be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the
amount of such item and (B) any previous reduction in the Principal Distribution
Amount for a prior Distribution Date as contemplated in the paragraph above
resulting from the reimbursement of the subject Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amount.
To the extent a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to
a Mortgage Loan is required to be reimbursed from the principal portion of the
general collections on the Mortgage Loans pursuant to clause (vii) of this
Section 3.05(a), such reimbursement shall be made first, from the principal
collections available on the Mortgage Loans included in the same Loan Group as
such Mortgage Loan and, if the principal collections in such Loan Group are not
sufficient to make such reimbursement in full, then from the principal
collections available in the other Loan Group (after giving effect to any
reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances related to such other Loan Group). To
the extent the Principal Distribution Amount for a Distribution Date is
increased as set forth in preceding paragraph, such increase shall be allocated
first to the principal collections in the Loan Group with respect to which the
Mortgage Loan as to which the related Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount was
reimbursed does not belong, and then to the Loan Group with respect to which the
Mortgage Loan as to which the related Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount was
reimbursed does belong.
For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, the right of any Person hereunder to recover
amounts owing with respect to a Whole Loan from the Certificate Account and/or
the related Whole Loan Custodial Account shall be without duplication.
(b) The Trustee may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the
REMIC I Distribution Account for any of the following purposes (the order set
forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):
(i) to be deemed to transfer from the REMIC I Distribution Account
to the REMIC II Distribution Account on or before the related Distribution
Date the Available Distribution Amount as provided in Section 4.01(a)(ii)
and Prepayment Premiums to be distributed in respect of the REMIC I
Regular Interests, as contemplated by Section 4.01(c)(i) and to make
distributions to the Class R-I Certificates pursuant to Section
4.01(c)(iii) or Section 9.01, as applicable;
(ii) to pay the Trustee accrued and unpaid Trustee Fees pursuant to
Section 8.05(a) and to reimburse the Trustee for any other amounts to
which it is entitled to be reimbursed from the Distribution Account
pursuant to this Agreement;
(iii) to pay the Trustee or any of its respective directors,
officers, employees and agents, as the case may be, any amounts payable or
reimbursable to any such Person pursuant to Section 8.05(b);
(iv) as contemplated by Section 12.01(h), to pay for the reasonable
costs of the Opinions of Counsel sought by the Trustee as contemplated by
Section 12.01(a) or 12.01(d) in connection with any amendment to this
Agreement requested by the Trustee, provided such amendment is in
furtherance of the rights and interests of Certificateholders;
(v) to pay for the reasonable costs of the Opinions of Counsel
sought by the Trustee as contemplated by Section 12.02(a);
(vi) to (A) pay any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed
on REMIC I or REMIC II or on the assets or transactions of any such REMIC,
together with all incidental costs and expenses, and any and all
reasonable expenses relating to tax audits, if and to the extent that
either (1) none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or the REMIC Administrator is liable therefor pursuant to Section 10.01(d)
and/or Section 10.01(h) or (2) any such Person that may be so liable has
failed to timely make the required payment, and (B) reimburse the REMIC
Administrator for reasonable expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it
by the Trust pursuant to Section 10.01(d) and/or Section 10.01(h); and
(vii) to clear and terminate the REMIC I Distribution Account at the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
Taxes imposed on REMIC I or REMIC II shall be allocated to the
related REMIC.
(c) The Trustee shall be deemed to make withdrawals from the REMIC
II Distribution Account for any of the following purposes: (i) to make
distributions to Certificateholders (other than Holders of the Class A-MFL
Certificates and Class V Certificates and the Class R-I Certificates) on each
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(b), Section 4.01(c)(i) or Section
9.01, as applicable, to make distributions to the Class A-MFL Floating Rate
Account with respect to the Class A-MFL Regular Interest pursuant to this
Agreement; and (ii) to clear and terminate the REMIC II Distribution Account at
the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
(d) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the
Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and deposit into the Distribution Account,
for distribution on such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
the entire amount, if any, then on deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Account and (ii) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount distributable on
such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b), over the
Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date (calculated without
regard to such transfer from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to the
Distribution Account); provided that on the Business Day prior to the Final
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account and deposit into the Distribution Account, for distribution on
such Distribution Date, any and all amounts then on deposit in the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account.
(e) The Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any
particular funds on deposit in the Certificate Account and the Distribution
Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of compensation,
Advances (with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and their respective
expenses hereunder, but only if and to the extent such compensation, Advances
(with interest) and expenses are to be reimbursed or paid from such particular
funds on deposit in the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account pursuant
to the express terms of this Agreement.
(f) The Master Servicer may (and, with respect to clause (i),
shall), from time to time, make withdrawals from each Whole Loan Custodial
Account, for any of the following purposes (the order set forth below not
constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):
(i) to make remittances each month no later than the Master
Servicer Remittance Date, in an aggregate amount of immediately
available funds equal to the applicable portion of the Whole Loan
Remittance Amount, to the related Companion Loan Holder and to the
Certificate Account for the benefit of the Trust (as holder of the
related Mortgage Loan or any related REO Loan), in accordance with
the related Intercreditor Agreement; provided, however, any
Liquidation Proceeds relating to any repurchase of the Companion
Loan related to a Whole Loan by the related seller thereof shall be
remitted solely to the related Companion Loan Holder and Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan related to a
Whole Loan by the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be remitted
solely to the Certificate Account; provided that any Liquidation
Proceeds related to a sale pursuant to Section 3.18 or pursuant to
the related Intercreditor Agreement of a Mortgage Loan included in a
Whole Loan shall be deposited directly into the Certificate Account
and applied solely to pay expenses relating to that Mortgage Loan
and to the Available Distribution Amount, and any Liquidation
Proceeds related to a sale pursuant to Section 3.18 of a Companion
Loan shall be deposited into the related Whole Loan Custodial
Account and applied solely to pay expenses relating to such
Companion Loan and to pay amounts due to the related Companion Loan

(ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, for xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances made with respect to such
Mortgage Loan or, in the case of the Trustee, with respect to the
related Mortgage Loan (in each case, with its own funds), as the
case may be, respective rights to reimbursement pursuant to this
clause (ii) with respect to any P&I Advance (other than
Nonrecoverable P&I Advances, which are reimbursable pursuant to
clause (vii) of this Section 3.05(f)) or principal and/or interest
advance being limited to amounts that represent Late Collections of
interest and principal received in respect of the particular Whole
Loan as to which such P&I Advance or principal and/or interest

such Whole Loan Custodial Account in error) are insufficient to satisfy all
payments, reimbursements and remittances to be made therefrom as set forth in
clauses (ii) through (xx) of this Section 3.05(f), then the corresponding
withdrawals from such Whole Loan Custodial Account shall be made in the
following priority and subject to the following rules: (A) if the payment,
reimbursement or remittance is to be made from a specific source of funds, then
such payment, reimbursement or remittance shall be made from that specific
source of funds on a pro rata basis with any and all other payments,
reimbursements and remittances to be made from such specific source of funds;
and (B) if the payment, reimbursement or remittance can be made from any funds
on deposit in such Whole Loan Custodial Account, then (following any withdrawals
made from such Whole Loan Custodial Account in accordance with the immediately
preceding clause (A) of this paragraph) such payment, reimbursement or
remittance shall be made from such general funds remaining on a pro rata basis
with any and all other payments, reimbursements or remittances to be made from
such general funds; provided that any reimbursements of Advances in respect of
such Whole Loan or REO Property out of such Whole Loan Custodial Account
pursuant to any of clauses (ii), (vi) and (vii) of this Section 3.05(f), and any
payments of interest thereon out of such Whole Loan Custodial Account pursuant
to either of clauses (viii) and (ix) of this Section 3.05(f), shall be made (to
the extent of their respective entitlements to such reimbursements and/or
payments): first, to the Trustee; and second, pro rata, to the Master Servicer
and Special Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall also be entitled to make withdrawals from
time to time, from the Whole Loan Custodial Account of amounts necessary for the
payments or reimbursement of amounts required to be paid with respect to a
Securitized Companion Loan to the master servicer, the special servicer and the
trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to the
applicable Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.05(f),
the Master Servicer acknowledges its obligations under the related Intercreditor
Agreement to remit funds thereunder then due and owing to the holder of the
Companion Loan related to such Whole Loan in the time frames set forth therein.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall
notify the Trustee in writing of any transfer of the Companion Loan related to a
Whole Loan, specifically identifying the name, address and contact information
of the transferee if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as
applicable, has received actual written notice from the transferee of such
transferee's name, address and contact information.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be
permitted (but shall have no affirmative obligation whatsoever or be otherwise
required under this Agreement) to structure the time of recoveries of
Nonrecoverable Advances in such a manner as the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
is in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole, which
may include being reimbursed for Nonrecoverable Advances in installments over
time.
(g) If any Loss of Value Payments are deposited into the Loss of
Value Reserve Fund with respect to any Loan or any related REO Property, then
the Special Servicer shall, promptly when needed, transfer such Loss of Value
Payments (up to the remaining portion thereof) from the Loss of Value Reserve
Fund to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account for the
following purposes:
(i) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.05(a), for any Nonrecoverable
Advance made by such party with respect to such Loan or any related REO
Property (together with interest thereon);
(ii) to pay, in accordance with Section 3.05(a), or to reimburse the
Trust for the prior payment of, any expense relating to such Loan or any
related REO Property that constitutes or, if not paid out of such Loss of
Value Payments, would constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense;
(iii) to offset any Realized Loss (as calculated without regard to
the application of such Loss of Value Payments) incurred with respect to
such Loan or any successor REO Loan with respect thereto;
(iv) following the occurrence of a liquidation event or other
disposition with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related REO
Property, to cover the items contemplated by the immediately preceding
clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 3.05(g) in respect of any other
Loan or REO Loan; and
(v) on the final Distribution Date after all distributions have been
made as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 3.05(g), to
the related Mortgage Loan Seller to offset any Realized Losses (net of any
amount contributed by the Mortgage Loan Seller that was used pursuant to
clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 3.05(g)).
Any Loss of Value Payments transferred to the Certificate Account
pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of the prior paragraph shall, except for
purposes of Section 3.11(c), be deemed to constitute Liquidation Proceeds
received by the Trust in respect of the related Loan or any successor REO Loan
with respect thereto for which such Loss of Value Payments were received; and
any Loss of Value Payments transferred to the Certificate Account pursuant to
clause (iv) of the prior paragraph shall, except for purposes of Section
3.11(c), be deemed to constitute Liquidation Proceeds received by the Trust in
respect of the Loan or REO Loan for which such Loss of Value Payments are being
transferred to the Certificate Account to cover an item contemplated by clauses
(i) through (iii) of the prior paragraph.
On the Business Day immediately prior to the Master Servicer
Remittance Date related to the final Distribution Date, the Special Servicer
shall withdraw from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and transfer to the Master
Servicer, for deposit in the Certificate Account, any Loss of Value Payments
remaining on deposit in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. Such Loss of Value
Payments so deposited in the Certificate Account shall constitute part of the
Available Distribution Amount for the final Distribution Date, to the extent
needed to distribute to the Holders of the REMIC II Regular Certificates (other
than the Class A-MFL Certificates) and the Class A-MFL Regular Interest in
accordance with Section 9.01, all interest then payable thereto, together with
the aggregate Certificate Balance of, and all loss reimbursement amounts for
such final Distribution Date in respect of, the respective Classes of the REMIC
II Regular Certificates (other than the Class A-MFL Certificates) and the Class
A-MFL Regular Interest, and otherwise shall be distributable to the Holders of
the Residual Certificates on the final Distribution Date.
(h) The Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Class A-MFL Floating
Rate Account in the following order of priority and only for the following
purposes: (i) to withdraw amounts deposited in the Class A-MFL Floating Rate
Account in error and pay such amounts to Persons entitled thereto; (ii) out of
interest amounts to make regularly scheduled payments of interest required to be
paid to the Class A-MFL Swap Counterparty under the Class A-MFL Swap Contract as
specified in Section 3.31(c), provided there is no Class A-MFL Swap Default;
(iii) to make distributions to the Holders of the Class A-MFL Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.01(l); and (iv) to clear and terminate the Class A-MFL
Floating Rate Account pursuant to Section 9.01.
Section 3.06 Investment of Funds in the Certificate Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the REMIC I
Distribution Account, the REMIC II Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account, the Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account and the REO Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Certificate Account, the Servicing Account, the Interest Reserve
Account and each Whole Loan Custodial Account, the Special Servicer may direct
any depository institution maintaining each REO Account, and the Trustee may
direct any depository institution maintaining the REMIC I Distribution Account,
the REMIC II Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account and the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to
invest, or if it is such depository institution, may itself invest, the funds
held therein (each such account, for purposes of this Section 3.06, an
"Investment Account") only in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest
or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, no later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding date on which such funds
are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement (or in
the case of the Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account, maturing no later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding date on which such funds
are required to be withdrawn therefrom and paid to the Class A-MFL Swap
Counterparty). All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless
payable on demand, in which case such investments may be sold at any time. Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a
Permitted Investment in any Investment Account solely related to a Whole Loan,
the related Companion Loan Holder (in its capacity as such). The Master Servicer
(with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts in the Certificate Account,
the Interest Reserve Account, each Whole Loan Custodial Account and the
Servicing Account) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Permitted
Investments of amounts in each REO Account), on behalf of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and in the case of any Investment Account
solely related to a Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder, and the
Trustee (with respect to the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, the REMIC I
Distribution Account, the REMIC II Distribution Account, the Class A-MFL
Floating Rate Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account), on behalf
of the Certificateholders, shall (and the Trustee hereby designates the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or itself, as applicable, as the Person that
shall) (i) be the "entitlement holder" of any Permitted Investment that is a
"security entitlement" and (ii) maintain "control" of any Permitted Investment
that is either a "certificated security" or an "uncertificated security". For
purposes of this Section 3.06(a), the terms "entitlement holder", "security
entitlement", "control", "certificated security" and "uncertificated security"
shall have the meanings given such terms in Revised Article 8 (1994 Revision) of
the UCC, and "control" of any Permitted Investment by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer shall constitute "control" by a Person designated by, and
acting on behalf of, the Trustee for purposes of Revised Article 8 (1994
Revision) of the UCC. If amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any
time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer
(in the case of the Certificate Account, the Interest Reserve Account, each
Whole Loan Custodial Account and the Servicing Account) or the Special Servicer
(in the case of each REO Account) and the Trustee (in the case of the Excess
Interest Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, the
Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account, the REMIC I Distribution Account and the
REMIC II Distribution Account) shall:
(i) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted
Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser
of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to
be withdrawn on such date; and
(ii) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee,
as the case may be, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a
Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the
Investment Account.
(b) Whether or not the Master Servicer directs the investment of
funds in the Certificate Account, the Interest Reserve Account, each Whole Loan
Custodial Account and the Servicing Account, interest and investment income
realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment
Earnings, if any, for each such Investment Account for each Collection Period,
shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be
subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.05(a) or Section 3.05(f),
as applicable. Whether or not the Special Servicer directs the investment of
funds in each REO Account, interest and investment income realized on funds
deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for
such Investment Account for each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Special Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal
in accordance with Section 3.16(b). Whether or not the Trustee directs the
investment of funds in the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account, the Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account, the REMIC I
Distribution Account and the REMIC II Distribution Account, interest and
investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of Net
Investment Earnings, if any, for each such Investment Account for each
Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Trustee
and shall be subject to withdrawal by the Trustee. If any loss shall be incurred
in respect of any Permitted Investment on deposit in any Investment Account, the
Master Servicer (in the case of the Certificate Account, the Interest Reserve
Account, each Whole Loan Custodial Account and the Servicing Account (with
respect to funds invested by the Master Servicer for its own account)), the
Special Servicer (in the case of each REO Account) and the Trustee (in the case
of the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Account, the Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account, the REMIC I Distribution Account
and the REMIC II Distribution Account) shall promptly deposit therein from its
own funds, without right of reimbursement, no later than the end of the
Collection Period during which such loss was incurred, the amount of the Net
Investment Loss, if any, for such Collection Period. The Trustee shall have no
liability whatsoever with respect to any such losses, except in respect to
losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment on deposit in the Excess
Interest Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, the
Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account, the REMIC I Distribution Account and the
REMIC II Distribution Account; and to the extent that it is the obligor on any
such Permitted Investment.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has
not taken such action, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.02, upon the
request of Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting
Rights allocated to any Class, shall take such action as may be appropriate to
enforce such payment or performance, including, without limitation, the
institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
(d) Notwithstanding the investment of funds held in any Investment
Account, for purposes of the calculations hereunder, including, without
limitation, the calculation of the Available Distribution Amount and the Master
Servicer Remittance Amount, the amounts so invested (but not any interest earned
thereon) shall be deemed to remain on deposit in such Investment Account.
Section 3.07 Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions
and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) In the case of each Loan, the Master Servicer shall use
reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause each
Mortgagor to maintain, and, if the Mortgagor does not so maintain, the Master
Servicer will itself cause to be maintained, for each Mortgaged Property
(including each Mortgaged Property relating to any Specially Serviced Loan) all
insurance coverage as is required, subject to applicable law, under the related
loan documents; provided that, if and to the extent that any such loan documents
permit the holder thereof any discretion (by way of consent, approval or
otherwise) as to the insurance coverage that the related Mortgagor is required
to maintain, the Master Servicer shall exercise such discretion in a manner
consistent with the Servicing Standard and, prior to the date such existing
insurance expires or is required to be renewed, the Master Servicer may, to the
extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, take into account insurance in
place at loan origination, with a view towards requiring insurance comparable to
that required under other Loans with express provisions governing such matters
and including business interruption or rental loss insurance for at least 12
months; and provided, further, the Master Servicer shall be required to maintain
such insurance coverage upon the related Mortgagor's failure to do so only to
the extent that such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates and
the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, as mortgagee has an insurable interest.
Subject to Section 3.17(b), the Special Servicer shall also cause to be
maintained for each REO Property no less insurance coverage (to the extent
available at commercially reasonable rates) (A) than was previously required of
the related Mortgagor under the related loan documents and (B), at a minimum,
(i) hazard insurance with a replacement cost rider, (ii) business interruption
or rental loss insurance for at least 12 months, and (iii) commercial general
liability insurance, in each case, in an amount customary for the type and
geographic location of such REO Property and consistent with the Servicing
Standard; provided that all such insurance required to be maintained by Master
Servicer or Special Servicer shall be obtained from Qualified Insurers that, in
each case, shall have a financial strength or claims-paying rating no lower than
two rating categories below the highest rated Certificates outstanding, and in
any event no lower than "A" from Fitch and "A2" from Xxxxx'x (or in such other
form and amount or issued by an insurer with such other financial strength or
claims-paying ability as would not, as confirmed in writing by the relevant
Rating Agency, result in an Adverse Rating Event. All such insurance policies
shall contain (if they insure against loss to property) a "standard" mortgagee
clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in
the case of insurance maintained in respect of the Mortgage Loans), or shall
name the Trustee (and in the case of a Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan
Holder) as the insured, with loss payable to the Special Servicer on behalf of
the Trustee (and in the case of a Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder)
(in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), and shall be
issued by an insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such insurance,
and, unless prohibited by the related Mortgage, may contain a deductible clause
(not in excess of a customary amount). Any amounts collected by the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO
Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case in
accordance with the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited into the Certificate
Account or, if a Whole Loan is involved, the related Whole Loan Custodial
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a), or Section 3.05(f),
as applicable in the case of amounts received in respect of a Loan, or in the
applicable REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.16(c), in
the case of amounts received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall
not, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to unpaid principal balance or Stated Principal
Balance of the related Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Loan so
permit; provided, however, this sentence shall not limit the rights of the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust or, if a Whole Loan
is involved, on behalf of the related Companion Loan Holder, to enforce any
obligations of the related Mortgagor under such Loan. Costs to the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer of maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this
Section 3.07 shall be paid by and reimbursable to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, as a Servicing Advance.
If the related loan documents specifically and expressly set forth
terms requiring insurance coverage against terrorist or similar acts for a Loan,
then the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall enforce the terms of the
related loan documents in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and if the
Mortgagor fails to maintain such insurance, such failure shall constitute a
Servicing Transfer Event. To the extent the loan documents do not set forth
specific terms requiring insurance coverage against terrorist or similar acts
and a Loan (x) requires a Mortgagor to maintain insurance policies covering some
or all of the risks contained in the Additional Exclusions or (y) in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer has determined (in consultation
with the Special Servicer and the Directing Certificateholder) that the loan
documents permit the lender to require the Mortgagor to maintain insurance
policies covering some or all the risks contained in the Additional Exclusions
(the covered risks required to be covered or that the lender has the discretion
to require to be covered being referred to as "Covered Risks"), the Master
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard
to determine whether, upon renewal of the Mortgagor's property or casualty
insurance (including any all risk insurance policy), any of the Covered Risks
are excluded from coverage. If any of the Covered Risks are determined by the
Master Servicer to be excluded from coverage, the Master Servicer shall request
the Mortgagor to either (i) purchase insurance acceptable to the Master Servicer
in accordance with the Servicing Standard and in accordance with the related
loan documents covering such Covered Risks or (ii) provide a written explanation
as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with the written consent of the Special Servicer in accordance with
the Servicing Standard the Master Servicer may waive the requirement to procure
insurance covering any of the Covered Risks if the Master Servicer determines in
accordance with the Servicing Standard that (1) insurance covering any such
Covered Risks is not available at a commercially reasonable price, or (2) based
on information reasonably available to the Master Servicer, after due inquiry,
any such Covered Risks are at that time not commonly insured against for
properties similar to the Mortgaged Property and located in or around the region
in which the Mortgaged Property is located unless the Stated Principal Balance
of the Loan is greater than $20,000,000. If the Stated Principal Balance of the
Loan is greater than $20,000,000, then the Master Servicer must determine that
the circumstances in both clauses (1) and (2) of the immediately preceding
sentence apply prior to waiving the Mortgagor's requirement to procure insurance
with respect to any Covered Risks. If the Special Servicer fails to give a
response to the Master Servicer as referenced in the second preceding sentence
within ten Business Days of the Master Servicer initially notifying the Special
Servicer in writing of such request, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify
the Directing Certificateholder of such failure of the Special Servicer to
respond to such request. If the Directing Certificateholder and/or the Special
Servicer have not responded to the Master Servicer within ten Business Days of
the notice referenced in the immediately preceding sentence, the Master Servicer
shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether to require (or
not require) the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance; provided that during the
period that the Special Servicer and/or the Directing Certificateholder are
evaluating such insurance, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
and/or the Directing Certificateholder shall be liable for any loss related to
its failure to require a Mortgagor to maintain terrorism insurance and shall not
be in default of its obligations hereunder as a result of such failure. If the
Master Servicer requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance and the
Mortgagor fails to maintain such insurance, to the extent such insurance is then
reasonably available, the Master Servicer shall then procure such insurance in
accordance with the Servicing Standard and such failure by the Mortgagor shall
constitute a Servicing Transfer Event. For purposes of computing whether the
$20,000,000 threshold described herein is met for a particular Loan, if a Loan
is secured by multiple Mortgaged Properties, then the amount subject to the
$20,000,000 threshold shall be the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of
the related Loan pro rated based on an individual Mortgaged Property's appraised
value as a percentage of the total appraised value of all of the related
Mortgaged Properties.
(b) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and
maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy or master
force placed policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Loans or REO
Properties, as applicable, that it is required to service and administer
hereunder, then, to the extent such policy (i) is obtained from a Qualified
Insurer having a financial strength or claims-paying rating no lower than "A"
from Fitch and "A2" from Xxxxx'x or having such other financial strength or
claims-paying ability rating as would not, as confirmed in writing by the
relevant Rating Agency, result in an Adverse Rating Event and (ii) provides
protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed
to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on
the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties, as applicable. Such policy
may contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary amount), in which
case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall, if
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO
Property a hazard insurance policy complying with the requirements of Section
3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses that would have been
covered by such an individual policy, promptly deposit into the Certificate
Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket or
master force placed policy in connection with such loss or losses because of
such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the
deductible limitation that pertained to the related Loan (or, in the absence of
any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation for an individual
policy that is consistent with the Servicing Standard). The Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall prepare and present, on behalf of
itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Whole Loan,
the related Companion Loan Holder, claims under any such blanket or master
forced placed policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
(c) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall at
all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special
Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which Specially
Serviced Loans or REO Properties for which it is responsible exist as part of
the Trust Fund) keep in force with a Qualified Insurer having a financial
strength or claims-paying rating no lower than two rating categories below the
highest rated Certificates outstanding, and in any event no lower than "A" from
Fitch and "A2" from Xxxxx'x, a fidelity bond in such form and amount as are
consistent with the Servicing Standard or would permit it to be a qualified
Xxxxxx Mae seller-servicer of multifamily mortgage loans (or in such other form
and amount or issued by an insurer with such other financial strength or
claims-paying ability rating as would not result in an Adverse Rating Event with
respect to any Class of Rated Certificates (as confirmed in writing to the
Trustee by the relevant Rating Agency)). Each of the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision
if an Affiliate thereof has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of
such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Such fidelity bond shall
provide that it may not be canceled without ten days' prior written notice to
the Trustee.
Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall at all
times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special
Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which Specially
Serviced Loans and/or REO Properties for which it is responsible exist as part
of the Trust Fund) also keep in force with a Qualified Insurer having a
financial strength or claims-paying rating no lower than two rating categories
below the highest rated Certificates outstanding, and in any event no lower than
"A" from Fitch and "A2" from Xxxxx'x, a policy or policies of insurance covering
loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in
connection with its servicing obligations hereunder, which policy or policies
shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard
or would permit it to be a qualified Xxxxxx Mae seller-servicer of multifamily
mortgage loans (or in such other form and amount or issued by an insurer with
such other financial strength or claims-paying rating as would not result in an
Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates (as
confirmed in writing to the Trustee by the relevant Rating Agency)). Each of the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with
the foregoing provisions if an Affiliate thereof has such insurance and, by the
terms of such policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such errors
and omissions policy shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten days'
prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt
obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or its direct or
indirect parent company), as applicable, are rated not lower than "A" from Fitch
and "A2" from Xxxxx'x, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
may self-insure with respect to either or both of the fidelity bond coverage and
the errors and omissions coverage required as described above, in which case it
shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such
coverage.
Section 3.08 Enforcement of Alienation Clauses.
(a) As to each Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a (i)
"due-on-sale" clause (which includes, without limitation, sales or transfers of
the Mortgaged Property (in full or in part) or the sale, transfer, pledge or
hypothecation of direct or indirect interest in the related Borrower or its
owners), which by its terms (1) provides that such Loan shall (or may at the
mortgagee's option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an
interest in the related Mortgaged Property or of a controlling interest in the
related Mortgagor; (2) provides that such Loan may not be assumed without the
consent of the mortgagee or satisfaction of certain conditions in connection
with any such sale or other transfer, for so long as such Loan is included in
the Trust Fund or (3) provides that such Loan may be assumed or transferred
without the consent of the mortgagee provided that certain conditions set forth
in the related loan documents are satisfied, or (ii) as to each Loan that
contains a provision in the nature of a "due-on-encumbrance" clause (including,
without limitation, any mezzanine financing of the related Borrower or the
related Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in such
Borrower or its direct or indirect owners), that by its terms: (1) provides that
such Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee's option) become due and payable upon
the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance on the related
Mortgaged Property; (2) requires the consent of the mortgagee or satisfaction of
certain conditions to the creation of any such additional lien or other
encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property; or (3) provides that such Loan
may be further encumbered provided that certain conditions set forth in the loan
documents have been satisfied, each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, as to those
Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, exercise (or waive its right to
exercise) any right it may have with respect to such Loan (x) to accelerate the
payments thereon, (y) to withhold its consent to any such sale or other
transfer, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard or (z) determine
whether the conditions set forth in clause (a)(i)(3) of this paragraph have been
satisfied.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither
the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall waive any right it has, or
grant any consent it is otherwise entitled to withhold, under any related
"due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clause (including, but not limited to,
making any determination that the conditions set forth in clauses (a)(i)(3) and
(a)(ii)(3) of this Section 3.08 have been satisfied), unless both the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have followed the procedures set forth
for those Loans in the manner set forth in the immediately below clauses (i)
through (vi):
(i) The Master Servicer shall not waive any right it has, or grant
any consent that it may otherwise withhold under any related "due-on-sale"
or "due-on-encumbrance" clause (including, but not limited to, making any
determination that the conditions set forth in clauses (a)(i)(3) and
(a)(ii)(3) of this Section 3.08 have been satisfied) without first
obtaining the consent of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer's
consent shall be deemed given if the Master Servicer shall have provided
the Special Servicer written notice of the matter together with all of the
information set forth in the immediately succeeding sentence and all
information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall not have responded in writing, via fax or e mail within 15
Business Days of such request (subject to any extensions of applicable
time periods required if the Special Servicer is required by this
Agreement to seek the consent of other third parties). In connection with
the request set forth above, the Master Servicer shall provide to the
Special Servicer written notice of the matter, a written explanation of
the surrounding circumstances, such additional information as the Special
Servicer shall reasonably request and a request for approval by the
Special Servicer.
(ii) The Special Servicer shall not waive any right it has, or grant
any consent that it may otherwise withhold under any related "due-on-sale"
or "due-on-encumbrance" clause without obtaining the consent of the
Directing Certificateholder for (a) any Non-Partitioned Loan and/or Post
CAP Whole Loan that is a Performing Loan or (b) for any Specially Serviced
Loan that is a Non-Partitioned Loan and/or a Post CAP Whole Loan. Consent
by the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed given if the Special
Servicer shall have provided the Directing Certificateholder written
notice of the matter together with all of the information set forth in the
immediately succeeding sentence and the Directing Certificateholder shall
not have responded in writing, via fax or e mail within ten Business Days
of such request. In connection with the request set forth above, the
Special Servicer shall provide to the Directing Certificateholder written
notice of the matter, a written explanation of the surrounding
circumstances, such additional information as the Directing
Certificateholder shall reasonably request and a request for approval by
the Directing Certificateholder.
(iii) With respect to any A/B Whole Loan for which a related Control
Appraisal Period does not exist, (A) the Master Servicer with respect to
those time periods when such Loan is a Performing Loan shall not waive any
right that it may have, or grant any consent that it may otherwise
withhold under any related "due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clause
without obtaining the consent of the Special Servicer, which consent shall
not be given without the Special Servicer first obtaining the consent of
the related Controlling Holder, and (B) the Special Servicer with respect
to those time periods when either such Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan
shall not waive any right that it may have, or grant any consent that it
may otherwise withhold under any related "due-on-sale" or
"due-on-encumbrance" clause without obtaining the consent of the related
Controlling Holder. Consent by a Controlling Holder shall be deemed given
if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have
provided such Controlling Holder written notice of the matter together
with all of the information set forth in the last sentence of Section
3.08(a)(ii) and such Controlling Holder shall not have responded in
writing, via fax or email within ten Business Days of such request.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Master Servicer shall not permit any such transfer, assumption or further
encumbrance of such Loan or related Mortgaged Property or interests in the
related Borrower, if the Special Servicer, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, (a) notifies the Master Servicer of its determination
with respect to any Loan (which by its terms permits the transfer,
assumption or further encumbrance without mortgagee consent provided
certain conditions are satisfied and the determination as to whether any
such conditions are satisfied would require the mortgagee to exercise the
judgment of a reasonable prudent commercial lender) that the conditions
required under the related loan documents have not been satisfied or (b)
objects in writing to the Master Servicer's determination that such
conditions have been satisfied with respect to any such Serviced Loan.
(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to the
consent or waiver of any "due-on-sale" clause as described in Section
3.08(a), if any Mortgage Loan:
(1) has an outstanding principal balance of greater than
$5,000,000 and represents greater than 5% of the then outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Pool;
(2) has an outstanding principal balance of greater than
$35,000,000; or
(3) has an outstanding principal balance of greater than
$5,000,000 and is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans in the Trust
Fund based on outstanding principal balance,
then neither the Master Servicer nor Special Servicer shall waive any right it
has, or grant any consent it is otherwise entitled to withhold, under any
related "due-on-sale" clause until it has received written confirmation from
each Rating Agency that such action would not result in the qualification (if
applicable), downgrade or withdrawal of the rating then assigned by such Rating
Agency to any Class of Certificates.
(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to the
consent or waiver of any "due-on-encumbrance" clause as described in
Section 3.08(a), if any Mortgage Loan:
(1) represents greater than 2% of the then outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Pool, or
(2) is at the time one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans or
crossed portfolios of Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans (by
outstanding principal balance) in the Mortgage Pool or has an
outstanding principal balance of greater than $20,000,000, or
(3) after taking into consideration any additional
indebtedness secured by the related Mortgaged Property, the
loan-to-value ratio for such Mortgage Loan would be greater than 85%
or the debt service coverage ratio would be less than 1.20x,
then neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
shall waive any right it has, or grant any consent it is otherwise entitled to
withhold, under any related "due-on-encumbrance" clause governing the transfer
of any Mortgaged Property that secures, or controlling interests in any
Mortgagor under, a Cross-Collateralized Set unless the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have obtained written confirmation from
each Rating Agency that such action shall not result in a qualification (if
applicable), downgrade or withdrawal of the rating then assigned by such Rating
Agency to any Class of Certificates or Companion Loan Securities.
(vii) In the event that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer
intends or is required, in accordance with the preceding clauses, by the
loan documents or applicable law, to permit the transfer of any Mortgaged
Property, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
may, if consistent with the Servicing Standard, enter into a substitution
of liability agreement, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor and any
original guarantors are released from liability, and the transferee and
any new guarantors are substituted therefor and become liable under the
Mortgage Note and any related guaranties and, in connection therewith, may
require from the related Mortgagor a reasonable and customary fee for the
additional services performed by it, together with reimbursement for any
related costs and expenses incurred by it. In addition, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, if consistent with
the Servicing Standard, shall require as a condition of its approval that
the related Mortgagor pay all costs associated with such transfer. The
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall
promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any such agreement and forward
the original thereof to the Trustee for inclusion in the related Mortgage
File.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer
shall approve and close, without the consent of the Special Servicer, all
transfers of tenant-in-common ownership interests contemplated by and in
accordance with the related loan documents for any Performing Loan listed on
Schedule XIII. Upon completion of any such transfer, the Master Servicer shall
promptly (i) provide notice by electronic mail thereof to the Special Servicer
and (ii) advise the Special Servicer as to the total number of transfers with
respect to such Performing Loan that the Master Servicer has approved and closed
as of such date and the expiration date (if any) by which such transfer(s) must
occur pursuant to the related loan documents.
(b) In connection with any permitted assumption of any Loan or
waiver of a "due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clause thereunder, the Master
Servicer (in the case of a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (in the case
of a Specially Serviced Loan) shall prepare all documents necessary and
appropriate for such purposes and shall coordinate with the related Mortgagor
for the due execution and delivery of such documents.
(c) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer collects an
assumption fee or an assumption application fee in connection with any transfer
or proposed transfer of any interest in a Mortgagor or a Mortgaged Property,
then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will apply that
fee to cover the costs and expenses associated with that transfer or proposed
transfer that are not otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor and that would
otherwise be payable or reimbursable out of the Trust Fund, including any Rating
Agency fees and expenses. Any remaining portion of such assumption fee (such
remaining portion, a "Net Assumption Fee") or of such assumption application fee
(such remaining portion, a "Net Assumption Application Fee") will be applied as
additional compensation to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in
accordance with Section 3.11.
Section 3.09 Realization Upon Defaulted Loans.
(a) The Special Servicer shall, subject to Sections 3.09(b),
3.09(c), and 3.09(d), exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of
properties and other collateral securing such of the Loans as come into and
continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for
collection of delinquent payments, including pursuant to Section 3.20; provided
that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, with respect to
any ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, take any enforcement action
with respect to the payment of Excess Interest (other than the making of
requests for its collection) unless (i) the taking of an enforcement action with
respect to the payment of other amounts due under such Loan is, in the good
faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, and without regard to
such Excess Interest, also necessary, appropriate and consistent with the
Servicing Standard, or (ii) all other amounts due under such Loan have been
paid, the payment of such Excess Interest has not been forgiven in accordance
with Section 3.20 and, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special
Servicer, the Liquidation Proceeds expected to be recovered in connection with
such enforcement action will cover the anticipated costs of such enforcement
action and, if applicable, any associated Advance Interest. In connection with
the foregoing, in the event of a default under any Loan or Cross-Collateralized
Set that is secured by real properties located in multiple states, and such
states include California or another state with a statute, rule or regulation
comparable to California's "one action rule", then the Special Servicer shall
consult Independent counsel regarding the order and manner in which the Special
Servicer should foreclose upon or comparably proceed against such properties.
The reasonable costs of such consultation shall be paid by, and reimbursable to,
the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. In addition, all other costs and
expenses incurred in any foreclosure sale or similar proceeding shall be paid
by, and reimbursable to, the Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance. Nothing
contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Special
Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a
foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market
value of such property, as determined by such Special Servicer taking into
account the factors described in Section 3.18 and the results of any Appraisal
obtained pursuant to the following sentence or otherwise, all such cash bids to
be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the
Special Servicer deems it necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard
for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property
securing a Defaulted Loan, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or
otherwise, the Special Servicer is authorized to have an Appraisal completed
with respect to such property (the cost of which appraisal shall be covered by,
and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance).
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
Mortgaged Property shall be acquired by the Special Servicer on behalf of the
Trust (and in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Whole Loan, on behalf
of the related Companion Loan Holder) under such circumstances, in such manner
or pursuant to such terms as would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code (unless the portion of such REO Property that is not treated as
"foreclosure property" and that is held by REMIC I at any given time constitutes
not more than a de minimis amount of the assets of such REMIC within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(3)(i) and (ii)), or (ii) except as
permitted by Section 3.17(a), subject the Trust (and in the case of a Mortgaged
Property securing any Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder) to the
imposition of any federal income or prohibited transaction taxes under the Code.
Subject to the foregoing, however, a Mortgaged Property may be acquired through
a single member limited liability company. In addition, except as permitted
under Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property
on behalf of the Trust pursuant to this Section 3.09 (with the exception of cash
or cash equivalents pledged as collateral for a Loan) unless either:
(i) such personal property is incident to real property (within the
meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special
Servicer; or
(ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel
(the cost of which shall be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Servicing
Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property as part
of the Trust Fund will not cause either REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding or,
subject to Section 3.17, cause the imposition of a tax on the Trust under
the REMIC Provisions.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09,
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the
Trust (and in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Whole Loan, on behalf
of the related Companion Loan Holder), obtain title to a Mortgaged Property by
foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action
with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the
Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders (and in the case of a Mortgaged
Property securing a Whole Loan, on behalf of the related Companion Loan Holder),
could, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised
in accordance with the Servicing Standard, 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 CERCLA or any comparable law, unless:
(i) the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, based on a Phase I Environmental Assessment
(and any additional environmental testing that the Special Servicer deems
necessary and prudent) of such Mortgaged Property conducted by an
Independent Person who regularly conducts Phase I Environmental
Assessments and performed during the 12-month period preceding any such
acquisition of title or other action, that the Mortgaged Property is in
compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and there
are no circumstances or conditions present at the Mortgaged Property
relating to the use, management or disposal of Hazardous Materials for
which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or
remediation could be required under any applicable environmental laws and
regulations; or
(ii) in the event that the determination described in the
immediately preceding clause (c)(i) cannot be made, the Special Servicer
has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, on
the same basis as described in the immediately preceding clause (c)(i),
that it would maximize the recovery to the Certificateholders, or if a
Whole Loan is affected, to the Certificateholders and the related
Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole and, with respect to any A/B
Whole Loan, taking into account the subordination of the related A/B
Companion Loan), on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting of
anticipated collections that will be distributable to Certificateholders
to be performed at the related Net Mortgage Rate) to acquire title to or
possession of the Mortgaged Property and to take such remedial, corrective
and/or other further actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged
Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws and
regulations and to appropriately address any of the circumstances and
conditions referred to in the immediately preceding clause (c)(i).
Any such determination by the Special Servicer contemplated by
clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph shall be evidenced by an
Officer's Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Loan Holder (if
a Whole Loan is involved) and the Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is
involved), specifying all of the bases for such determination, such Officer's
Certificate to be accompanied by all related environmental reports. The cost of
such Phase I Environmental Assessment and any such additional environmental
testing shall be advanced by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special
Servicer given in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, the
Master Servicer shall not be obligated in connection therewith to advance any
funds that, if so advanced, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.
Amounts so advanced shall be subject to reimbursement as Servicing Advances in
accordance with Section 3.05(a). The cost of any remedial, corrective or other
further action contemplated by clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph shall be
payable out of the Certificate Account or, if a Whole Loan is involved, out of
the related Whole Loan Custodial Account, pursuant to Section 3.05.
(d) If neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii)
of the first paragraph of Section 3.09(c) has been satisfied with respect to any
Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take
such action as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (other than
proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and, at such time as it deems
appropriate, may, on behalf of the Trust, and, if a Whole Loan is involved, the
related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole and, with respect to any
A/B Whole Loan, taking into account the subordination of the related A/B
Companion Loan), release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property from the
lien of the related Mortgage.
(e) The Special Servicer shall report to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), the
related Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved) and the Directing
Certificateholder monthly in writing as to any actions taken by the Special
Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to which neither of the
conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first paragraph of Section
3.09(c) has been satisfied, in each case until the earliest to occur of
satisfaction of either of such conditions, release of the lien of the related
Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property and the related Loan's becoming a Corrected
Loan.
(f) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of seeking to obtain a
deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and
the terms of the subject Loan permit such an action and shall, in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, seek such deficiency judgment if it deems
advisable.
(g) Annually in each January, commencing in January 2008, the Master
Servicer (with information provided by the Special Servicer) shall file with the
IRS, on a timely basis, the information returns with respect to the reports of
foreclosures and abandonments and reports relating to any cancellation of
indebtedness income with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans and REO
Properties required by Sections 6050H (as applicable), 6050J and 6050P of the
Code. Contemporaneously, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officer's Certificate stating that all such information returns relating to
Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties that were required to be filed
during the prior 12 months have been properly completed and timely provided to
the IRS. The Master Servicer shall prepare and file the information returns with
respect to the receipt of any mortgage interest received in a trade or business
from individuals with respect to any Loan as required by Section 6050H of the
Code. All information returns shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet
the reporting requirements imposed by the relevant sections of the Code.
(h) As soon as the Special Servicer makes a Final Recovery
Determination with respect to any Loan or REO Property, it shall promptly notify
the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, the related
Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved) and the Controlling Holder
(if an A/B Whole Loan is involved). The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate
records, prepared by a Servicing Officer, of each such Final Recovery
Determination (if any) and the basis thereof. Each such Final Recovery
Determination (if any) shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered
to the Trustee and the Master Servicer no later than the third Business Day
following such Final Recovery Determination.
Section 3.10 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Loan, or the receipt by the
Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify
the Trustee and the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved),
and request delivery of the related Mortgage File by delivering thereto a
Request for Release in the form of Exhibit D that shall be accompanied by the
form of any release or discharge to be executed by the Trustee. Any such Request
for Release shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or
to be received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited
into the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so
deposited. Upon receipt of such notice and request conforming in all material
respects to the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall promptly release, or cause
any related Custodian to release, the related Mortgage File to the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If the Mortgage has been recorded
in the name of MERS or its designee, the Master Servicer shall take all
necessary action to reflect the release of the Mortgage on the records of MERS.
No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed
of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Certificate Account or if a Whole
Loan is involved, the related Whole Loan Custodial Account.
(b) If from time to time, and as appropriate for servicing or
foreclosure of any Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall
otherwise require any Mortgage File (or any portion thereof), then, upon request
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and receipt therefrom of a
Request for Release in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto signed by a
Servicing Officer thereof, the Trustee shall release, or cause any related
Custodian to release, such Mortgage File (or portion thereof) to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Upon return of such
Mortgage File (or portion thereof) to the Trustee or the related Custodian, or
the delivery to the Trustee of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the
Special Servicer stating that such Loan was liquidated and that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required
to be deposited into the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or, if
a Whole Loan is involved, into the related Whole Loan Custodial Account pursuant
to Section 3.04(e), have been or will be so deposited, or that such Loan has
become an REO Property, the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee
to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.
(c) Within five Business Days of the Special Servicer's request
therefor (or, if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency,
within such shorter period as is reasonable under the circumstances), the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer, in the form supplied
to the Trustee, as applicable, by the Special Servicer, any court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the
foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal
action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law
or in equity or to defend any legal action or counterclaim filed against the
Trust, or if a Whole Loan is involved, against the related Companion Loan
Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer; provided that the Trustee
may alternatively execute and deliver to the Special Servicer, in the form
supplied to the Trustee by the Special Servicer, a limited power of attorney,
subject to the provisions of Section 3.01(c), issued in favor of the Special
Servicer and empowering the Special Servicer to execute and deliver any or all
of such pleadings or documents on behalf of the Trustee (however, the Trustee
shall not be liable for any misuse of such power of attorney by such Special
Servicer). Together with such pleadings or documents (or such power of attorney
empowering the Special Servicer to execute the same on behalf of the Trustee),
the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
requesting that such pleadings or documents (or such power of attorney
empowering the Special Servicer to execute the same on behalf of the Trustee) be
executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such pleadings or
documents are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee (or by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee) will not

termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
If a Whole Loan is involved, such documents and pleadings shall also be
delivered by the Special Servicer to the related Companion Loan Holder.
(d) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as
applicable, is authorized for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if a
Whole Loan is involved, the related Companion Loan Holder, to direct, manage,
prosecute and/or defend any and all claims and litigation relating to (a) the
enforcement of the obligations of the Borrower or guarantor under any loan
documents and (b) any action brought by the Borrower against the Trust Fund.
Such enforcement shall be carried out in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard; it being
expressly understood that (i) the Master Servicer shall not be liable for such
enforcement by the Special Servicer and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be
liable for such enforcement by the Master Servicer.
Section 3.11 Servicing Compensation; Interest on Servicing Advances;
Payment of Certain Expenses; Obligations of the Trustee Regarding Back-up
Servicing Advances.
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Master Servicing Fee with respect to
each Loan (including each Specially Serviced Loan) and each related REO Loan. As
to each such Loan and REO Loan, for each calendar month (commencing with March
2007) or any applicable portion thereof, the Master Servicing Fee shall accrue
at the related Master Servicing Fee Rate on the same principal amount, and
without giving effect to any Excess Interest that may accrue on any ARD Loan
after its Anticipated Repayment Date, as interest accrues from time to time
during such calendar month (or portion thereof) on such Loan or is deemed to
accrue from time to time during such calendar month (or portion thereof) on such
REO Loan, as the case may be, and shall be calculated on the same Interest
Accrual Basis as is applicable for such Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be.
The Master Servicing Fee with respect to any Loan or REO Loan shall cease to
accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. Master Servicing Fees
earned with respect to any such Loan or REO Loan shall be payable monthly from
payments of interest on such Loan or REO Revenues allocable as interest on such
REO Loan, as the case may be. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover
unpaid Master Servicing Fees in respect of any Loan or REO Loan out of the
portion of any related Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds allocable as interest on such Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be. The
right to receive the Master Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in
part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement and except as otherwise
expressly provided in the following paragraph.
(b) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the following
items as additional servicing compensation, which shall be paid prior to
remittance of such amounts, if any, which are required to be paid to any
Companion Loan Holder in the case of a Whole Loan under any Intercreditor
Agreement (the following items, collectively, "Additional Master Servicing
Compensation"):
(i) any and all Net Default Charges, Net Assumption Application
Fees, Net Modification Application Fees and earnout fees collected with
respect to a Performing Loan;
(ii) 50% of any and all Net Assumption Fees actually paid by a
Mortgagor with respect to a Performing Loan;
(iii) 50% of any and all Net Modification Fees, extension fees,
consent fees and waiver fees actually paid by a Mortgagor with respect to
a Performing Loan for which Special Servicer approval is required;
(iv) any and all charges for beneficiary statements or demands,
amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds and other
loan processing fees actually paid by a Mortgagor with respect to a
Performing Loan and, in the case of checks returned for insufficient
funds, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan;
(v) any and all Prepayment Interest Excess collected on the Mortgage
Loans;
(vi) interest or other income earned on deposits in the Investment
Accounts maintained by the Master Servicer, in accordance with Section
3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any,
with respect to any such Investment Account for each Collection Period
and, further, in the case of a Servicing Account or Reserve Account, only
to the extent such interest or other income is not required to be paid to
any Mortgagor under applicable law or under the related Mortgage); and
(vii) 50% of any and all substitution fees (net of any costs
incurred in connection with any substitution) collected on a Performing
Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing with respect to any 50% sharing of
fees referenced in this Section 3.11(b), the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to all such fees if with respect to the activity related to any such fee the
Master Servicer is not required to seek the consent and/or approval of the
Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.
To the extent that any of the amounts described in the preceding
paragraph are collected by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall
promptly pay such amounts to the Master Servicer.
(c) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special
Servicer shall be entitled to receive monthly the Special Servicing Fee with
respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and each REO Loan for which it is
responsible. As to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan, for any particular
calendar month or applicable portion thereof, the Special Servicing Fee shall
accrue at the Special Servicing Fee Rate on the same principal amount as
interest accrues from time to time during such calendar month (or portion
thereof) on such Specially Serviced Loan or is deemed to accrue from time to
time during such calendar month (or portion thereof) on such REO Loan, as the
case may be, and shall be calculated on the same Interest Accrual Basis as is
applicable for such Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be. The
Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan
shall cease to accrue as of the date a Liquidation Event occurs in respect
thereof or, in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan, as of the date it becomes
a Corrected Loan. Earned but unpaid Special Servicing Fees with respect to
Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans shall be payable monthly out of general
collections on the Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Certificate
Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided, however, if a Whole Loan is
involved, first out of funds on deposit in the related Whole Loan Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.05(f).
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special
Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Workout Fee with respect to each
Corrected Loan. As to each Corrected Loan, the Workout Fee shall be payable out
of, and shall be calculated by application of the Workout Fee Rate to, each
payment of interest (other than Default Interest and Excess Interest) and
principal received from the related Mortgagor on such Loan for so long as it
remains a Corrected Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any such Corrected
Loan will cease to be payable if a new Servicing Transfer Event occurs with
respect thereto or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property;
provided that a new Workout Fee would become payable if and when the subject
Loan again became a Corrected Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated,
including pursuant to Section 3.23, or resigns in accordance with Section 6.04,
it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect
of (i) any Loans serviced by it that became Corrected Loans during the period
that it acted as Special Servicer and that were still Corrected Loans at the
time of such termination or resignation and (ii) any Specially Serviced Loans
for which such Special Servicer has resolved the circumstances and/or conditions
causing any such Loan to be a Specially Serviced Loan, but that had not as of
the time the Special Servicer was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely
because the related Mortgagor had not made three consecutive timely Monthly
Payments and that subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the
related Mortgagor making such three consecutive timely monthly payments (and the
successor to the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such
Workout Fees), in each case until the Workout Fee for any such loan ceases to be
payable in accordance with the preceding sentence; provided that, in the case of
any Specially Serviced Loan described in clause (ii) of this sentence, the
terminated Special Servicer shall immediately deliver the related Servicing File
to the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall (without further
compensation) monitor that all conditions precedent to such Loan's becoming a
Corrected Loan are satisfied and, further, shall immediately transfer such
Servicing File to the new Special Servicer if and when it becomes apparent to
the Master Servicer that such conditions precedent will not be satisfied.
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special
Servicer shall also be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to
each Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan as to which it receives any full,
partial or discounted payoff from the related Mortgagor or any Insurance
Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds. Notwithstanding the
foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, no Liquidation Fee shall be payable in
connection with: (a) the purchase of a Defaulted Loan by the Majority
Certificateholder of the Controlling Class pursuant to any applicable purchase
right set forth in Section 3.18(c) or Section 3.18(l) or with respect to a
purchase of a related Defaulted Loan at its fair value as determined in Section
3.18, unless such purchase is by an assignee of the Majority Certificateholder
of the Controlling Class or the Special Servicer, such assignee is not an
affiliate of the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class or the
Special Servicer, such assignment is for no material consideration, and provided
such purchase occurs or purchase right is exercised more than 90 days from the
date that the Special Servicer has initially determined the fair value of the
related Mortgage Loan; (b) the purchase of any Mortgage Loan by the related A/B
Whole Loan Purchase Option Holder (or its designee) or the holder of a
subordinate note or a Mezzanine Loan (or its designee) pursuant to a purchase
option contained in the related intercreditor agreement, unless such purchase
occurs or purchase right is exercised more than 90 days from the date that the
Mortgage Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan; (c) the purchase option of
the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01; (d) the repurchase by the related
Mortgage Loan Seller of a Mortgage Loan so required to be repurchased by it
pursuant to Section 4 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement
and Section 2.03 within the time frame set forth in the Initial Resolution
Period and/or the Resolution Extension Period (if applicable), provided that
such time frame shall never be less than 90 days from the date that the related
Mortgage Loan Seller was first notified of its obligation to repurchase pursuant
to Section 4 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement and
Section 2.03, provided such purchase occurs within 90 days after the date that
the related Mortgage Loan Seller was first notified of its obligation to
repurchase such Loan; (e) in connection with a Loss of Value Payment by the
related Mortgage Loan Seller; and (f) with respect to any Securitized Companion
Loan, a purchase or repurchase of such Securitized Companion Loan under an Other
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As to each such Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan, the Liquidation
Fee shall be payable out of, and shall be calculated by application of the
Liquidation Fee Rate to, any such full, partial or discounted payoff,
Condemnation Proceeds and/or Liquidation Proceeds received or collected in
respect thereof (other than any portion of such payment or proceeds that
represents Default Charges, Excess Interest or a Prepayment Premium). The
Liquidation Fee with respect to any such Specially Serviced Loan will not be
payable if such Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.
The Special Servicer's right to receive any Special Servicing Fee,
Workout Fee and/or Liquidation Fee to which it is entitled may not be
transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of
the Special Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement and
except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
(d) The Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the following
items as additional special servicing compensation, which shall be paid prior to
remittance of such amounts, if any, which are required to be paid to the related
Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Whole Loan under the related
Intercreditor Agreement) (the following items, collectively, the "Additional
Special Servicing Compensation"):
(i) any and all Net Default Charges collected with respect to a
Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan;
(ii) any and all Net Assumption Fees, Net Assumption Application
Fees, Net Modification Fees, Net Modification Application Fees, extension
fees, consent fees, waiver fees, earnout fees, late payment charges and
charges for beneficiary statements or demands that are actually received
on or with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan;
(iii) 50% of any and all Net Assumption Fees, modification fees,
extension fees, consent fees and waiver fees that are actually received on
or with respect to a Performing Loan;
(iv) interest or other income earned on deposits in the Special
Servicer's applicable REO Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but
only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to
such REO Account for each Collection Period); and
(v) 50% of any and all substitution fees (net of any costs incurred
in connection with any substitution) collected on a Performing Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing with respect to the fees referenced in
the immediately preceding clauses (iii) and (v), the Special Servicer shall not
be entitled to such fees unless the Master Servicer was required to seek the
approval or consent of the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement with
respect to any consent, extension, modification or waiver related to any such
fee.
To the extent that any of the amounts described in the preceding
paragraph are collected by the Master Servicer with respect to a Specially
Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly pay such amounts to the
Special Servicer and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in the
Certificate Account or if a Whole Loan is involved, in the related Whole Loan
Custodial Account.
(e) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be
required (subject to Section 3.11(h)) to pay out of its own funds all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including
payment of any amounts due and owing to any Sub-Servicers retained by it
(including any termination fees) and the premiums for any blanket policy or the
standby fee or similar premium, if any, for any master force placed policy
obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07(b)), if
and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the Certificate
Account, the related Whole Loan Custodial Account, the Reserve Accounts or an
REO Account, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement for any such expense incurred by it except as
expressly provided in this Agreement. If the Master Servicer is required to make
any Servicing Advance hereunder at the direction of the Special Servicer in
accordance with Section 3.03(c), Section 3.19 or otherwise, the Special Servicer
shall promptly provide the Master Servicer with such documentation regarding the
subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request.
(f) If the Master Servicer is required under this Agreement to make
a Servicing Advance, but does not do so within ten days after such Advance is
required to be made, the Trustee shall, if it has actual knowledge of such
failure on the part of the Master Servicer, give notice of such failure to the
Master Servicer. If such Advance is not made by the Master Servicer within three
Business Days after such notice, then (subject to Section 3.11(h)) the Trustee
shall make such Advance. Any failure by the Master Servicer to make a Servicing
Advance it is required to make hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default by
the Master Servicer, subject to and as provided in Section 7.01(a).
(g) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall
each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from
time to time, accrued on the amount of each Advance made thereby (with its own
funds), for so long as such Advance is outstanding. Such interest with respect
to any Advances shall be payable: (i) first, in accordance with Sections 3.05
and 3.27, out of any Default Charges subsequently collected on or in respect of
the Mortgage Pool or the Companion Loan related to a Whole Loan, if applicable;
and (ii) then, after such Advance is reimbursed, but only if and to the extent
that such Default Charges are insufficient to cover such Advance Interest, out
of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit in
the Certificate Account or if a Whole Loan or related REO Property is involved,
on deposit in the related Whole Loan Custodial Account. The Master Servicer
shall reimburse itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as appropriate, for
any Advance made by any such Person as soon as practicable after funds available
for such purpose are deposited into the Certificate Account or if a Whole Loan
is involved, are deposited into the related Whole Loan Custodial Account.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no interest shall be payable
with respect to any P&I Advance of a payment due on a Loan during the applicable
grace period and interest shall cease to accrue on any Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amount to the extent such amount has been reimbursed from
principal collections in accordance with Section 3.05.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, none
of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be required to
make any Servicing Advance that it determines in its reasonable, good faith
judgment would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided, however,
the Special Servicer may, at its option, in consultation with the Directing
Certificateholder, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee notice of such determination. Any such determination shall be
conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee. The determination
by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Servicing Advances (or a
determination by the Special Servicer with respect to such Person) that it has
made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance,
if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be made by
such Person in its reasonable, good faith judgment and shall be evidenced by an
Officer's Certificate delivered promptly to the Depositor and the Trustee
(unless it is the Person making such determination), and the Trustee shall
provide a copy thereof to the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion
Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved and the Trustee has knowledge of such
Companion Loan Holder), setting forth the basis for such determination,
accompanied by a copy of an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO
Property performed within the 12 months preceding such determination, and
further accompanied by any other information, including engineers' reports,
environmental surveys or similar reports, that such Person may have obtained and
that support such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the Trustee
(i) shall conclusively rely on and be bound by any determination of
nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Special Servicer and (ii) shall
be entitled to conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that
may have been made by the Master Servicer with respect to a particular Servicing
Advance, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled
to conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have
been made by the other such party with respect to a particular Servicing
Advance. A copy of any such Officer's Certificate (and accompanying information)
of the Master Servicer shall also be delivered promptly to the Special Servicer,
a copy of any such Officer's Certificate (and accompanying information) of the
Special Servicer shall also be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer, and a
copy of any such Officer's Certificates (and accompanying information) of the
Trustee shall also be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer. The Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of
prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations as if
such Unliquidated Advances were unreimbursed Servicing Advances.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the
Master Servicer may (and, at the direction of the Special Servicer if a
Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property is involved, shall) pay directly out
of the Certificate Account or, if a Whole Loan is involved, the related Whole
Loan Custodial Account, in accordance with Section 3.05, any servicing expense
that, if paid by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided that the Master Servicer (or the
Special Servicer, if a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property is involved)
has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that making such
payment is in the best interests of the Certificateholders, or if a Whole Loan
is affected, the interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion
Loan Holder (as a collective whole and, in the case of an A/B Whole Loan, taking
into account the subordination of the related A/B Companion Loan), as evidenced
by an Officer's Certificate delivered promptly to the Depositor and the Trustee,
which shall provide a copy thereof to the Directing Certificateholder and the
related Companion Loan Holder, as applicable (if a Whole Loan is involved and
the Trustee has knowledge of such Companion Loan Holder), setting forth the
basis for such determination and accompanied by any information that such Person
may have obtained that supports such determination. A copy of any such Officer's
Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Master Servicer shall also be
delivered promptly to the Special Servicer, and a copy of any such Officer's
Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer shall also be
promptly delivered to the Master Servicer.
Section 3.12 Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements.
(a) The Special Servicer shall perform or cause to be performed a
physical inspection of a Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable (but in any
event not later than 60 days) after the related Loan becomes a Specially
Serviced Loan (and, in cases where the related Loan has become a Specially
Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall continue to perform or cause to be
performed a physical inspection of the subject Mortgaged Property at least once
per calendar year thereafter for so long as the related Loan remains a Specially
Serviced Loan or if such Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property); provided
that the Special Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of the reasonable
and direct out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with each such
inspection as Servicing Advances. Beginning in 2008, the Master Servicer shall
at its expense perform or cause to be performed an inspection of each Mortgaged
Property at least once per calendar year (or, in the case of each Loan with an
unpaid principal balance of under $2,000,000, once every two years), if the
Special Servicer has not already done so during that period pursuant to the
preceding sentence. The costs of each such inspection incurred by the Special
Servicer shall be reimbursable first from Default Charges and then, to the
extent such Default Charges are insufficient, out of general collections. To the
extent such costs are to be reimbursed from general collections, such costs
shall constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense. The Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall each prepare a written report of each such inspection
performed by it or on its behalf that sets forth in detail the condition of the
Mortgaged Property and that specifies the occurrence or existence of: (i) any
sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is aware, (ii) any change
in the condition or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property that the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, is aware of and considers material, or (iii) any waste committed on
the Mortgaged Property that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, is aware of and
considers material. Upon request of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall each deliver to the Trustee a copy (or image in suitable
electronic media) of each such written report prepared by it, in each case
within 30 days following the request (or, if later, within 30 days following the
later of completion of the related inspection if the inspection is performed by
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or receipt of
the related inspection report if the inspection is performed by a third party).
Upon request, the Trustee shall request from the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, and, to the extent such items have been delivered
to the Trustee by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, deliver, upon request, to each of the Depositor, the related Mortgage Loan
Seller, the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Loan Holder or
any Controlling Holder, as applicable (if a Whole Loan is involved and the
Trustee has knowledge of such Companion Loan Holder or such Controlling Holder,
as applicable), any Certificateholder or, if the Trustee has in accordance with
Section 5.06(b) confirmed the Ownership Interest in Certificates held thereby,
any Certificate Owner, a copy (or image in suitable electronic media) of each
such written report prepared by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.
(b) Commencing with respect to the calendar quarter ended June 2007,
the Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Loan, and the Master
Servicer, in the case of each Performing Loan, shall make reasonable efforts to
collect promptly (and, in any event, shall attempt to collect within 45 days
following the end of the subject quarter or 120 days following the end of the
subject year) from each related Mortgagor quarterly and annual operating
statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property, and
quarterly and annual financial statements of such Mortgagor, to the extent
required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage. In addition, the Special
Servicer shall cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent
rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of each REO Property and shall collect
all such items promptly following their preparation. The Special Servicer shall
deliver copies (or images in suitable electronic media) of all of the foregoing
items so collected or obtained by it to the Master Servicer within 30 days of
its receipt thereof.
Within 60 days after receipt by the Master Servicer from the related
Mortgagors or otherwise, as to Performing Loans, and within 45 days after
receipt by the Special Servicer or otherwise, as to Specially Serviced Loans and
REO Properties, of any annual operating statements or rent rolls with respect to
any Mortgaged Property or REO Property, the Master Servicer (or the Special
Servicer, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property) shall,
based upon such operating statements or rent rolls, prepare (or, if previously
prepared, update) the related CMSA Operating Statement Analysis Report
commencing March 31, 2008. The Master Servicer also shall deliver to the
Directing Certificateholder (in hard copy or electronic format, as requested)
copies of all such rent rolls and operating statements. The Special Servicer
shall remit a copy of each CMSA Operating Statement Analysis Report prepared or
updated by it (within ten days following the initial preparation and each update
thereof), together with, if so requested, the underlying operating statements
and rent rolls, to the Master Servicer in a format reasonably acceptable to the
Master Servicer and the Trustee. All CMSA Operating Statement Analysis Reports
relating to Performing Loans shall be maintained by the Master Servicer, and all
CMSA Operating Statement Analysis Reports relating to any Specially Serviced
Loan and REO Property shall be maintained by the Special Servicer. The Trustee
shall, upon request, request from the Master Servicer (if necessary) and, to the
extent such items have been delivered to the Trustee by the Master Servicer,
deliver to the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Loan Holder

Loan Holder), any Certificateholder or, if the Trustee has in accordance with
Section 5.06 confirmed the Ownership Interest in the Certificates held thereby,
any Certificate Owner, a copy of such CMSA Operating Statement Analysis (or
update thereof) and, if requested, the related operating statement or rent
rolls.
Within 60 days (or, in the case of items received from the Special
Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties, 30 days)
after receipt by the Master Servicer of any quarterly or annual operating
statements with respect to any Mortgaged Property or REO Property, the Master
Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan
or REO Property) shall prepare or update and forward to the Trustee (upon
request), the Master Servicer (with respect to CMSA NOI Adjustment Worksheets
prepared by the Special Servicer), the Special Servicer (with respect to CMSA
NOI Adjustment Worksheets prepared by the Master Servicer), the Directing

related operating statements (in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee and the Special Servicer) commencing March 31, 2008.
If, with respect to any Loan (other than a Specially Serviced Loan),
the Special Servicer has any questions for the related Mortgagor based upon the
information received by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(a) or
3.12(b), the Master Servicer shall, in this regard and without otherwise
changing or modifying its duties hereunder, reasonably cooperate with the

the Master Servicer) with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans and any REO
Properties for which it is responsible, providing the required information as of
such Determination Date: (i) a CMSA Property File; (ii) a CMSA Special Servicer
Loan File (which, in each case, if applicable, will identify each Loan by loan
number and property name); and (iii) the CMSA REO Status Report. In addition,
the Special Servicer shall from time to time provide the Master Servicer with
such information in the Special Servicer's possession regarding the Specially
Serviced Loans and REO Properties as may be requested by the Master Servicer and
is reasonably necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report and any
supplemental information required to be provided by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee.

CMSA Collateral Summary File, which are prepared by the Trustee), providing the
most recent information with respect to the Mortgage Pool as of the related
Determination Date (and which, in each case, if applicable, will identify each
subject Loan by loan number and property name).
The Master Servicer may, but is not required to, make any of the
reports or files comprising the CMSA Investor Reporting Package (other than the
CMSA Bond Level File and the CMSA Collateral Summary File, which are prepared by
the Trustee) available each month on the Master Servicer's website; provided
that the Master Servicer shall e-mail such reports or files to the Directing
Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is
involved), until the Master Servicer's website is established. In connection
with providing access to the Master Servicer's website, the Master Servicer may
require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer and otherwise (subject
to the preceding sentence) adopt reasonable rules and procedures, which may
include, to the extent the Master Servicer deems necessary or appropriate,
conditioning access on execution of an agreement governing the availability, use
and disclosure of such information, and which may provide indemnification to the
Master Servicer for any liability or damage that may arise therefrom.
(e) The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the
reports set forth in Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c), and the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Special Servicer the reports set
forth in Section 3.12(d), in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the
Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trustee. The Master Servicer may,
absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports to be provided by the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c). The Trustee
may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports to be provided by
the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(d). In the case of information or
reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.12(d), to the extent that such information or reports are, in turn,
based on information or reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) and to the extent that such reports are to
be prepared and delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or
Section 3.12(c), the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such
information or reports to the Trustee until it has received the requisite
information or reports from the Special Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall
not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the reports required by
Section 3.12(d) caused by the Special Servicer's failure to timely provide any
information or report required under Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c).
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise
required to be disclosed by this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of
this Section 3.12 to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so
fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or
any provision of a loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with
respect to the Loans or Mortgaged Properties or would constitute a waiver of the
attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust. The Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer may disclose any such information or any additional information
to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent with applicable law, the
related loan documents and the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it
deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on
the part of any other party hereto).
(g) The Depositor shall provide to the Master Servicer and the
Trustee the initial data (as of the respective Due Dates for the Loans in March
2007 or the most recent earlier date for which such data is available)
contemplated by the CMSA Loan Setup File, the CMSA Loan Periodic Update File,
the CMSA Operating Statement Analysis Report and the CMSA Property File. In
addition, the Depositor shall cause each Mortgage Loan Seller to prepare (or
cause to be prepared on its behalf) a CMSA Loan Set-Up File.
(h) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to
deliver any statement, report or information under any provision of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may
satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such
statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or
information in a commonly used electronic format or (z) making such statement,
report or information available on the Master Servicer's internet website or the
Trustee's Website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method
of delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may request delivery in
paper format of any statement, report or information required to be delivered to
the Trustee and clause (z) of this paragraph shall not apply to the delivery of
any information required to be delivered to the Trustee unless the Trustee
consents to such delivery.
Section 3.13 [RESERVED].
Section 3.14 [RESERVED].
Section 3.15 Access to Certain Information.
(a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
afford to the Trustee, the Depositor, each Rating Agency, the Directing
Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan Holder or any Controlling
Holder, as applicable (if a Whole Loan is involved), and to the OTS, the FDIC
and any other banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise
authority over any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, access to any records
regarding the Loans and the servicing thereof within its control, except to the
extent it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, the terms of the loan
documents or contract entered into prior to the Closing Date or to the extent
such information is subject to a privilege under applicable law to be asserted
on behalf of the Certificateholders. Such access shall be afforded without
charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business
hours at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, designated by it; provided, however, Certificateholders and Certificate
Owners shall be required to pay their own photocopying costs. The Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled to affix a reasonable
disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original
source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto). In
connection with providing access to such records to the Directing
Certificateholder and any related Companion Loan Holder or any Controlling
Holder, as applicable (if a Whole Loan is involved), the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer may each require registration (to the extent access is provided
via the Master Servicer's internet website) and the acceptance of a reasonable
disclaimer and otherwise adopt reasonable rules and procedures, which may
include, to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, deems necessary or reasonably appropriate, conditioning access on
the execution and delivery of an agreement reasonably governing the
availability, use and disclosure of such information. The failure of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section
3.15 as a result of a confidentiality obligation shall not constitute a breach
of this Section 3.15. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each deny
any of the foregoing persons access to confidential information or any
intellectual property that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is
restricted by license or contract from disclosing. In connection with providing
access to information pursuant to this Section 3.15 to parties other than the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each (i) affix a
reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the
original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party
hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable statement
regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition
access to information on the execution of a reasonable confidentiality
agreement; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual
property; and (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the
Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan if the disclosure of such items is
prohibited by applicable law or the provisions of any related loan documents or
would constitute a waiver of the attorney client privilege. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be
disclosed by it pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this
Agreement to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment consistent with
the applicable Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would violate applicable
law or any provision of a loan document or, in the case of a Whole Loan, any
document relating to the related Companion Loan prohibiting disclosure of
information with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Companion Loan related to a
Whole Loan or the Mortgaged Properties, constitute a waiver of the attorney
client privilege on behalf of the Trust or the Trust Fund or otherwise
materially harm the Trust or the Trust Fund. Neither the Master Servicer nor the
Special Servicer shall be liable for providing or disseminating information in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Once a month, each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer available
to answer questions from the Directing Certificateholder during regular business
hours at such time and for such duration as the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, and the Directing Certificateholder shall reasonably
agree, regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and/of REO
Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, is responsible. As a condition to such disclosure, the Directing
Certificateholder shall execute a confidentiality agreement substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit M.
Section 3.16 Title to REO Property; REO Account.
(a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee or its nominee, on behalf of
the Certificateholders and, if a Whole Loan is affected, the related Companion
Loan Holder or, subject to Section 3.09(b), to a single member limited liability
company of which the Trust is the sole member, which limited liability company
is formed or caused to be formed by the Special Servicer at the expense of the
Trust for the purpose of taking title to one or more REO Properties pursuant to
this Agreement. The limited liability company shall be (i) disregarded as an
entity separate from the Trust pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section
301.7701-3(b), and (ii) a manager-managed limited liability company, with the
Special Servicer to serve as the initial manager to manage the property of the
limited liability company, including any applicable REO Property, in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement as if such property was held directly in the
name of the Trust or Trustee under this Agreement. The Special Servicer, on
behalf of the Trust (and, in the case of a Whole Loan, on behalf of the related
Companion Loan Holder), shall sell any REO Property by the end of the third
calendar year following the year in which the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder acquire
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code,
unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies, more than 60 days prior to the
expiration of such liquidation period, and is granted an extension of time (an
"REO Extension") by the IRS to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains for the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the
holding by the Trust of such REO Property subsequent to the end of the third
calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to either of REMIC I or REMIC II.
Regardless of whether the Special Servicer applies for or is granted the REO
Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or
obtains the Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (ii) of such sentence, the
Special Servicer shall act in accordance with the Servicing Standard to
liquidate such REO Property on a timely basis. If the Special Servicer is
granted such REO Extension or obtains such Opinion of Counsel, the Special
Servicer shall (i) promptly forward a copy of such REO Extension or Opinion of
Counsel to the Trustee, and (ii) sell such REO Property within such extended
period as is permitted by such REO Extension or contemplated by such Opinion of
Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in
connection with its applying for and being granted the REO Extension
contemplated by clause (i) of the third preceding sentence or its obtaining the
Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the third preceding sentence,
and for the creation of and the operating of a limited liability company, shall
be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.
(b) The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur, except
as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, the Special Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more Pool REO Accounts, to be held on behalf of
the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, for the
retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property. If such
REO Acquisition occurs with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Whole
Loan, the Special Servicer shall establish an REO Account solely with respect to
such property (a "Whole Loan REO Account"), which may be a sub-account of the
Pool REO Account, to be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
related Companion Loan Holder. Each REO Account shall be an Eligible Account and
may consist of one account for all the REO Properties. The Special Servicer
shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the related REO Account, within
two Business Days of receipt, all REO Revenues, Liquidation Proceeds (net of all
Liquidation Expenses paid therefrom) and Insurance Proceeds received in respect
of an REO Property. The Special Servicer is authorized to pay out of related
Liquidation Proceeds any Liquidation Expenses incurred in respect of an REO
Property and outstanding at the time such proceeds are received. Funds in an REO
Account may be invested only in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section
3.06. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to make withdrawals from an REO
Account to pay itself, as Additional Special Servicing Compensation in
accordance with Section 3.11(d), interest and investment income earned in
respect of amounts held in such REO Account as provided in Section 3.06(b) (but
only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings with respect to the REO
Account for any Collection Period). The Special Servicer shall give notice to
the other parties hereto and if a Whole Loan is involved, the related Companion
Loan Holder, of the location of an REO Account when first established and of the
new location of an REO Account prior to any change thereof.
(c) The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account funds
necessary for the proper operation, management, maintenance and disposition of
any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in the applicable
REO Account relating to such REO Property. By 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the Business Day following the end of each Collection Period, the Special
Servicer shall withdraw from the related REO Account and deposit into the
Certificate Account or the applicable Whole Loan Custodial Account, as
applicable, or deliver to the Master Servicer (which shall deposit such amounts
into the Certificate Account or the applicable Whole Loan Custodial Account, as
applicable), the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each such REO
Property during such Collection Period, net of any withdrawals made out of such
amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided that the Special Servicer
may retain in the applicable REO Account such portion of such proceeds and
collections as may be necessary to maintain a reserve of sufficient funds for
the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any
such REO Property (including the creation of a reasonable reserve for repairs,
replacements, necessary capital improvements and other related expenses), such
reserve not to exceed an amount sufficient to cover such items reasonably
expected to be incurred during the following 12-month period. For purposes of
the foregoing, the Pool REO Account and a Whole Loan REO Account correspond to
the Certificate Account and the related Whole Loan Custodial Account,
respectively.
(d) The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records,
on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits
to, and withdrawals from, an REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b) or (c).
Section 3.17 Management of REO Property.
(a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer
shall manage, conserve, protect, operate and lease such REO Property for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Whole Loan, for the
benefit of the related Companion Loan Holder as a collective whole and, in the
case of an A/B Whole Loan, taking into account the subordination of the related
A/B Companion Loan) solely for the purpose of its timely disposition and sale in
a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any "income from non permitted
assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code. Subject to the
foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to
do any and all things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of
and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Whole Loan,
for the benefit of the related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole and,
in the case of an A/B Whole Loan, taking into account the subordination of the
related A/B Companion Loan) (as determined by the Special Servicer in its good
faith and reasonable judgment). Subject to this Section 3.17, the Special
Servicer may earn "net income from foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(c) of the Code if it determines that earning such income is in the
best interests of Certificateholders, or if a Whole Loan is affected, the
interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holder (as a
collective whole and, in the case of an A/B Whole Loan, taking into account the
subordination of the related A/B Companion Loan), on a net after-tax basis as
compared with net leasing such REO Property or operating such REO Property on a
different basis. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall deposit or
cause to be deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than the second
Business Day following receipt of such funds), in the applicable REO Account all
revenues received by it with respect to each such REO Property and the related
REO Loan, and shall withdraw from the applicable REO Account, to the extent of
amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary
for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and disposition of
such REO Property, including, without limitation:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO
Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO
Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
(iii) any ground rents in respect of such REO Property, if
applicable; and
(iv) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain, lease and dispose
of such REO Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect
of any such REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses
(i) through (iv) of this Section 3.17(a) with respect to such REO Property, the
Special Servicer shall, subject to Section 3.19(d), direct the Master Servicer
to make (and the Master Servicer shall so make) Servicing Advances in such
amounts as are necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced in the manner
contemplated by Section 3.11(g)) the Master Servicer determines, in its
reasonable, good faith judgment, that such payment would be a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special
Servicer shall not:
(i) permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New
Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will
give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease
other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize or permit any construction on any such REO Property,
other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and
then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other
improvement was completed before default on the related Loan became
imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an
Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate, any such REO Property on any
date more than 90 days after its acquisition date;
unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of
Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing
Advance) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail
to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the
Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of
Counsel.
(c) The Special Servicer shall contract with any Independent
Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property within 90 days
of the acquisition date thereof, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be
inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm's
length;
(ii) the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be an
expense of the Trust Fund, unless a Whole Loan is involved, in which case
such fees shall be netted out of collections on the REO Property prior to
being remitted to the Special Servicer) shall be reasonable and customary
in light of the nature and locality of the REO Property;
(iii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to
require, that the Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property, including, without limitation, those listed in Section 3.17(a),
and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such
costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;
(iv) none of the provisions of this Section 3.17(c) relating to any
such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor
shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and
obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any
such REO Property; and
(v) the Special 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.
The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties
and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. To the extent the costs of any contract with an
Independent Contractor for the operation and maintenance of any REO Property are
greater than the revenues from such REO Property, such excess costs shall be
covered by and reimbursable as a Servicing Advance.
(d) When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer a statement prepared by the Special Servicer
setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal
income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or
business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non customary service to the
tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real
Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Sections 3.17(a) and
3.17(b).
Section 3.18 Resolution of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties.
(a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may
sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Loan or a related REO
Property only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Section 3.18 or as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Section
2.03(a), Section 9.01, an Intercreditor Agreement, or, in the case of a Mortgage
Loan with a related Mezzanine Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related
Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, or, in the case of a Whole Loan pursuant to
the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.
(b) After the Master Servicer has pursuant to Section 3.21(a)
notified the Special Servicer of a Servicing Transfer Event and in connection
therewith has provided the Special Servicer with the information required under
Section 3.21(a) with respect to any Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall
determine the fair value of such Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing
Standard as hereinafter provided; provided, however, such determination shall be
made without taking into account any effect the restrictions on the sale of such
Mortgage Loan contained herein may have on the value of such Defaulted Loan;
provided, further, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts promptly to
obtain an Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgaged Property unless it has
an Appraisal that is less than 12 months old and has no actual knowledge of, or
notice of, any event that in the Special Servicer's judgment would materially
affect the validity of such Appraisal. The Special Servicer shall make its fair
value determination as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within
30 days) after its receipt of such new Appraisal, if applicable. The Special
Servicer will, from time to time, but not less often than every 90 days, adjust
its fair value determination based upon changed circumstances, new information
and other relevant factors, if any, in each instance in accordance with the
Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class and the
related Companion Loan Holder, if a Mortgage Loan included in any Whole Loan is
involved, promptly upon its fair value determination and any adjustment thereto.
The Special Servicer shall also deliver to the Master Servicer, the Majority
Certificateholder of the Controlling Class and the related Companion Loan
Holder, if a Mortgage Loan included in any Whole Loan is involved, the most
recent Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property then in the Special
Servicer's possession, together with such other third-party reports and other
information then in the Special Servicer's possession that the Special Servicer
reasonably believes to be relevant to the fair value determination with respect
to such Mortgage Loan (such materials are, collectively, the "Determination
Information"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not be
required to deliver the Determination Information to the Master Servicer, and
shall instead deliver the Determination Information to the Trustee, if the
Master Servicer will not be determining whether the Option Price represents fair
value for the Defaulted Loan, pursuant to Section 3.18(e). The reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in making its
fair value determination shall be paid and reimbursed as a Servicing Advance.
In determining the fair value of any Defaulted Loan, the Special
Servicer shall take into account, among other factors, the period and amount of
the delinquency on such Defaulted Loan, the occupancy level and physical
condition of the related Mortgaged Property, the state of the local economy in
the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, the time and expense
associated with a purchaser's foreclosing on the related Mortgaged Property and
the expected recoveries from pursuing a work-out or foreclosure strategy instead
of selling the Defaulted Loan to the Option Holder. In addition, the Special
Servicer shall refer to the Determination Information and all other relevant
information obtained by it or otherwise contained in the Mortgage File and
provided to the Special Servicer; provided that the Special Servicer shall take
account of any change in circumstances regarding the related Mortgaged Property
known to the Special Servicer that has occurred subsequent to, and that would,
in the Special Servicer's reasonable judgment, materially affect the value of
the related Mortgaged Property reflected in, the most recent related Appraisal.
Furthermore, the Special Servicer shall consider all available objective
third-party information obtained from generally available sources, as well as
information obtained from Independent vendors providing real estate services to
the Special Servicer, concerning the market for distressed real estate loans and
the real estate market for the subject property type in the area where the
related Mortgaged Property is located. The reasonable cost of all third party
consultants and related reports, including but not limited to appraisals,
inspection reports and broker opinions of value, reasonably incurred by the
Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.18(b) shall constitute, and be
reimbursable as, Servicing Advances. The other parties to this Agreement shall
cooperate with all reasonable requests for information.
(c) At the time a Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, the
Special Servicer and the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class
(each, together with their assignees, an "Option Holder") will have an
assignable option (the "Purchase Option") to purchase such Defaulted Loan,
subject to the rights of the related Controlling Holder, if the Mortgage Loan
included in any A/B Whole Loan is involved, and subject to Section 3.18(l)) from
the Trust Fund at a price (the "Option Price") equal to (A) if the Special
Servicer has not yet determined the fair value of such Defaulted Loan, the sum
of (1) the Stated Principal Balance thereof, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the Mortgage Rate, (2) any related Prepayment Premium
then payable by the Mortgagor, to the extent the Special Servicer or the Special
Servicer's assignee is identified as the Person that will acquire the related
Mortgage Loan, (3) all related Advances for which the Trust Fund, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee has not been reimbursed, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Advance Rate, and (4) all
accrued Master Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Trustee Fees, Liquidation
Fees, Workout Fees and Additional Trust Fund Expenses allocable to such
Defaulted Loan whether recovered or unrecovered from the related Mortgagor or
(B) if the Special Servicer has determined the fair value of such Defaulted Loan
pursuant to Section 3.18(b), an amount at least equal to such fair value with
respect to any Purchase Option held by the Majority Certificateholder of the
Controlling Class or the Special Servicer only. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
for a period of 90 days after it receives notice of the Special Servicer's fair
value determination and the related expiration (if any) of the applicable
purchase option held by the related A/B Whole Loan Purchase Option Holder (the
"Option Period"), only the Purchase Option held by the Majority
Certificateholder of the Controlling Class may be exercised. Notwithstanding the
foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, none of the Majority Certificateholder
of the Controlling Class, the related A/B Whole Loan Purchase Option Holder or
the related Mezzanine Loan Holder (with respect to a Mezzanine Loan), shall be
required to pay a Liquidation Fee with respect to any applicable purchase right
under this Agreement or in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or with
respect to a purchase of a related Defaulted Loan at its fair value as
determined in this Section 3.18 if such purchase occurs or purchase right is
exercised not later than 90 days from the date that the Special Servicer has
initially determined the fair value for the related Defaulted Loan. For the
avoidance of doubt, any Purchase Option with respect to any Skyline Portfolio
Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion shall only be exercisable with respect to both
Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portions, except to the extent that a
Skyline Portfolio Pari Passu Mortgage Loan Portion has been repurchased by the
related Seller pursuant to Section 4 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and
Sale Agreement.
Any Option Holder may sell, transfer, assign or otherwise convey its
Purchase Option with respect to any Defaulted Loan to any party (other than a
Person whose acquisition of the Defaulted Loan would violate the terms of any
related intercreditor or similar agreement) at any time after the related
Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan. The transferor of any Purchase Option
shall notify the Trustee and the Master Servicer of such transfer and such
notice shall include the transferee's name, address, telephone number, facsimile
number and appropriate contact person(s) and shall be acknowledged in writing by
the transferee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Majority Certificateholder of the
Controlling Class shall have the right to exercise its Purchase Option prior to
any exercise of the Purchase Option by the Special Servicer; provided, however,
if the Purchase Option is not exercised by the Majority Certificateholder of the
Controlling Class or any assignee thereof within 60 days of a Mortgage Loan
becoming a Defaulted Loan, then the Special Servicer shall have the right to
exercise its Purchase Option prior to any exercise by the Majority
Certificateholder of the Controlling Class and the Special Servicer or its
assignee may exercise such Purchase Option at any time during the 30-day period
immediately following the expiration of such 60-day period Following the
expiration of each such 30-day period, the Majority Certificateholder of the
Controlling Class shall again have the exclusive right to exercise the Purchase
Option.
Each Option Holder's Purchase Option with respect to any Defaulted
Loan, if not exercised, will automatically terminate (A) once the related
Defaulted Loan is no longer a Defaulted Loan; provided, however, if such
Mortgage Loan subsequently becomes a Defaulted Loan, the related Purchase Option
shall again be exercisable, (B) upon the acquisition, by or on behalf of the
Trust Fund, of title to the related Mortgaged Property through foreclosure or
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, (C) upon the modification or pay-off, in full or at
a discount, of such Defaulted Loan in connection with a workout, or (D) subject
to the Master Servicer's determination set forth in Section 3.18(e), upon
another Option Holder's exercise of its Purchase Option with respect to the
related Mortgage Loan becoming effective pursuant to Section 3.18(d).
(d) Upon receipt of notice from the Special Servicer indicating that
a Mortgage Loan has become a Defaulted Loan, and after the expiration of the
Option Period, each Option Holder (whether the original grantee of such option
or any subsequent transferee) may exercise its Purchase Option by providing the
Master Servicer and the Trustee written notice thereof (the "Purchase Option
Notice"), in the form of Exhibit I, which notice shall identify the Person that,
on its own or through an Affiliate, will acquire the related Mortgage Loan upon
closing and shall specify a cash exercise price at least equal to the Option
Price. Immediately upon receipt of such Purchase Option Notice, the Master
Servicer shall notify the remaining Option Holders that a Purchase Option has
been exercised. Within ten days thereafter, each remaining Option Holder may
submit to the Master Servicer and the Trustee a Purchase Option Notice for the
related Defaulted Loan. Upon the expiration of such ten-day period, or such
sooner time as all remaining Option Holders have submitted Purchase Option
Notices, the Master Servicer shall notify the Option Holder whose Purchase
Option Notice included the highest exercise price that the exercise of its
Purchase Option is effective. The Master Servicer shall also notify the Trustee
of such effective exercise. In the event that more than one Option Holder
exercises its Purchase Option at the same price, the Purchase Option Notice
first received by the Master Servicer shall be effective. The exercise of any
Purchase Option pursuant to this Section 3.18(d) shall be irrevocable.
(e) If the Special Servicer or any Controlling Class Option Holder,
or any of their respective Affiliates, is identified in the Purchase Option
Notice as the Person expected to acquire the related Mortgage Loan, and the
Option Price is based upon the Special Servicer's fair value determination, the
Master Servicer shall determine whether the Option Price represents fair value
for the Defaulted Loan, in the manner set forth in Section 3.18(b) and as soon
as reasonably practicable but in any event within 30 days (except as such period
may be extended as set forth in this paragraph) of its receipt of the Purchase
Option Notice and Determination Information from the Special Servicer. In
determining whether the Option Price represents the fair value of such Defaulted
Loan, the Master Servicer may obtain an opinion as to the fair value of such
Defaulted Loans, taking into account the factors set forth in Section 3.18(b),
from a Qualified Appraiser or other Independent expert of recognized standing
having experience in evaluating the value of defaulted mortgage loans, which
opinion shall be based on a review, analysis and evaluation of the Determination
Information, and to the extent such Qualified Appraiser or third party deems any
such Determination Information to be defective, incorrect, insufficient or
unreliable, such Person may base its opinion on such other information it deems
reasonable or appropriate, and, absent manifest error, the Master Servicer may
conclusively rely on the opinion of any such Person that was chosen by the
Master Servicer with reasonable care. Notwithstanding the 30-day time period
referenced above in this paragraph, the Master Servicer will have an additional
15 days to make a fair value determination if the Person referenced in the
immediately preceding sentence has determined that the Determination Information
is defective, incorrect, insufficient or unreliable. The reasonable costs of all
appraisals, inspection reports and opinions of value, reasonably incurred by the
Master Servicer or any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be
advanced by the Master Servicer and shall constitute, and be reimbursable as,
Servicing Advances. In connection with the Master Servicer's determination of
fair value, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the
Determination Information for the use of the Master Servicer or any such third
party.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.18(e) to the
contrary, if the Special Servicer or the Majority Certificateholder of the
Controlling Class, or any of their respective Affiliates, is identified in the
Purchase Option Notice as the Person expected to acquire the related Mortgage
Loan, and the Option Price is based upon the Special Servicer's fair value
determination, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are Affiliates,
the Trustee shall determine whether the Option Price represents fair value for
the Defaulted Loan, in the manner set forth in Section 3.18(b) and as soon as
reasonably practicable but in any event within 30 days (except as such period
may be extended as set forth in this paragraph) of its receipt of the Purchase
Option Notice and Determination Information from the Special Servicer. In
determining whether the Option Price represents the fair value of such Defaulted
Loan, the Trustee may obtain an opinion as to the fair value of such Defaulted
Loans, taking into account the factors set forth in Section 3.18(b), from a
Qualified Appraiser or other Independent expert of recognized standing having
experience in evaluating the value of defaulted mortgage loans, which opinion
shall be based on a review, analysis and evaluation of the Determination
Information, and to the extent such Qualified Appraiser or third party deems any
such Determination Information to be defective, incorrect, insufficient or
unreliable, such Person may base its opinion on such other information it deems
reasonable or appropriate, and absent manifest error, the Trustee may
conclusively rely on the opinion of any such Person that was chosen by the
Trustee with reasonable care. Notwithstanding the 30-day time period referenced
above in this paragraph, the Trustee will have an additional 15 days to make a
fair value determination if the Person referenced in the immediately preceding
sentence has determined that the Determination Information is defective,
incorrect, insufficient or unreliable. The reasonable costs of all appraisals,
inspection reports and opinions of value, reasonably incurred by the Trustee or
any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be advanced by the Master
Servicer and shall constitute, and be reimbursable as, Servicing Advances. In
connection with the Trustee's determination of fair value the Special Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee the Determination Information for the use of the
Trustee or any such third party.
In the event a designated third party determines that the Option
Price is less than the fair value of the Defaulted Loan, such party shall
provide its determination, together with all information and reports it relied
upon in making such determination, to the Special Servicer, who shall then
adjust its fair value determination and, consequently, the Option Price,
pursuant to Section 3.18(b). The Special Servicer shall promptly provide written
notice of any adjustment of the Option Price to the Option Holder whose Purchase
Option has been declared effective pursuant to Section 3.18(d). Upon receipt of
such notice, such Option Holder shall have three Business Days to (i) accept the
Option Price as adjusted and proceed in accordance with Section 3.18(f), or (ii)
reject the Option Price as adjusted, in which case such Option Holder shall not
be obligated to close the purchase of the Defaulted Loan. Upon notice from such
Option Holder, or the Special Servicer, that such Option Holder rejects the
Option Price as adjusted, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall provide the
notices described in the second paragraph of Section 3.18(f) and thereafter any
Option Holder may exercise its purchase option in accordance with this Section
3.18, at the Option Price as adjusted.
(f) The Option Holder whose Purchase Option is declared effective
pursuant to Section 3.18(d) shall be required to pay the purchase price
specified in its Purchase Option Notice to the Master Servicer within ten
Business Days of its receipt of the Master Servicer's notice confirming that the
exercise of its Purchase Option is effective. Upon receipt of an Officer's
Certificate from the Master Servicer specifying the date for closing the
purchase of the related Defaulted Loan, and the purchase price to be paid
therefor, the Trustee shall deliver at such closing for release to or at the
direction of such Option Holder, the related Mortgage File, and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as shall be provided to it by such Option Holder and are reasonably
necessary to vest in the purchaser or any designee thereof the ownership of such
Mortgage Loan. In connection with any such purchase by any Person other than it,
the Special Servicer shall deliver the related Mortgage File to or at the
direction of the purchaser. In any case, the Master Servicer shall deposit the
purchase price into the Certificate Account within one Business Day following
receipt.
The Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee and the
Special Servicer upon the holder of the effective Purchase Option's failure to
remit the purchase price specified in its Purchase Option Notice pursuant to
this Section 3.18(f). Thereafter, the Trustee shall notify each Option Holder of
such failure and any Option Holder may then exercise its purchase option in
accordance with this Section 3.18.
(g) Unless and until the Purchase Option with respect to any
Defaulted Loan is exercised, the Special Servicer shall pursue such other
resolution strategies with respect to such Defaulted Loan including workout,
foreclosure and sale of any REO Property, as the Special Servicer may deem
appropriate, consistent with the Asset Status Report and the Servicing Standard;
provided, however, the Special Servicer shall not sell any Defaulted Loan (other
than in connection with exercise of a related Purchase Option).
(h) The Special Servicer shall sell an REO Property in the manner
set forth in Section 3.16(a). The Special Servicer may purchase any REO Property
at the Purchase Price therefor. The Special Servicer may also offer to sell to
any Person any REO Property, if and when the Special Servicer determines,
consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such a sale would be in the best
economic interests of the Trust Fund. The Special Servicer shall give the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Directing Certificateholder and the related
Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), not less than ten days'
prior written notice of its intention to sell any such REO Property, in which
case the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any
Person for any such REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Purchase
Price therefor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the
Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer, an Affiliate of the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, or an employee of
any of them may act as broker in connection with the sale of any such REO
Property and may retain from the proceeds of such sale a brokerage commission
that does not exceed the commission that would have been earned by an
independent broker pursuant to a brokerage agreement entered into at arm's
length.
In the absence of any such offer, the Special Servicer shall accept
the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special
Servicer to be a fair price for such REO Property, if the highest offeror is a
Person other than the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer (if the Master
Servicer and Special Servicer are Affiliates) or the Majority Certificateholder
of the Controlling Class (provided that the Majority Certificateholder of the
Controlling Class is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer), or any of their
respective Affiliates, or if such price is determined to be such a price by the
Trustee, if the highest offeror is the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer (if
the Master Servicer and Special Servicer are Affiliates) or the Majority
Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, or any of their respective
Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the
Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer
for or purchase any such REO Property pursuant hereto.
The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the
foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special
Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection
of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders. In
addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard that acceptance of such offer would be in
the best interests of the Certificateholders (for example, if the prospective
buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the
terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more
favorable).
In determining whether any offer received from the Special Servicer,
the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer and Special Servicer are Affiliates)
or the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, or any of their
respective Affiliates represents a fair price for any such REO Property, the
Trustee shall obtain and may conclusively rely on an Appraisal from a Qualified
Appraiser, at the expense of the Trust Fund. In determining whether any offer
constitutes a fair price for any such REO Property, the Trustee (or, if
applicable, such Qualified Appraiser) shall take into account, and any appraiser
shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors,
the physical condition of such REO Property, the state of the local economy and
the Trust Fund's obligation to comply with REMIC Provisions.
(i) Subject to the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions, the
Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund in negotiating and taking
any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any
such REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection
therewith. A sale of any such REO Property shall be without recourse to, or
representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, any Servicer, or the
Trust Fund (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance
documents may contain customary representations and warranties of title,
condition and authority so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to
the Trust Fund) and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor or
the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust Fund or any Certificateholder
with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or
the Trustee.
(j) The Special Servicer shall, within two Business Days following
its receipt of available funds, remit to the Master Servicer the proceeds of any
sale after deduction of the expenses of such sale incurred in connection
therewith for deposit into the Certificate Account. The Trustee, upon receipt of
an Officer's Certificate from the Master Servicer to the effect that such
deposit has been made, shall release or cause to be released to the party or
parties effecting such purchase (or any designee thereof) the related Mortgage
File, and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment,
in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it and are reasonably
necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Defaulted Loan effecting such
purchase (or any designee thereof) ownership of such Defaulted Loan. In
connection with any such purchase, the Special Servicer shall deliver the
related Servicing File to the purchaser of such Defaulted Loan with the
cooperation of the Master Servicer effecting such purchase (or any designee
thereof).
(k) Subject to Sections 3.18(a) through 3.18(j), the Special
Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee in negotiating and taking any other
action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted
Loan or REO Property, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection
therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective
offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer's actual
costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or
evaluating offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the
Certificate Account or if a Whole Loan is involved, in the related Whole Loan
Custodial Account; provided no such fees and charges shall be charged by the
Special Servicer to the Controlling Class Option Holder or any assignee in
connection with the sale of Defaulted Loans. Any sale of a Defaulted Loan or any
REO Property shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust
except as provided in Section 3.18(i), and if such sale is consummated in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Depositor, the Special
Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall have any liability to any
Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the
Special Servicer or the Trustee.
(l) The Purchase Option with respect to the Forest Hills Corporate
Center A/B Whole Loan is subject to the purchase rights of the Forest Hills
Corporate Center Note B Holder in accordance with the terms of and as set forth
in the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Purchase Option with respect to the
Richmond Ridge Apartments A/B Whole Loan is subject to the purchase rights of
the Richmond Ridge Apartments Note B Holder in accordance with the terms of and
as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.
(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) each
Mezzanine Lender may be entitled to purchase the related Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the related Mezzanine
Intercreditor Agreement, even after it has been purchased out of the Trust Fund
pursuant to this Section 3.18 and (ii) the related Note B Holder may be entitled
to purchase the related A/B Whole Loan in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in Section 10 of the Forest Hills Corporate Center
Intercreditor Agreement or in Section 8 of the Richmond Ridge Apartments
Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, even after it has been purchased out of
the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 3.18. Any purchase of a Specially
Serviced Loan that is purchased pursuant to this Section 3.18 will remain
subject to the purchase rights of, in each case if applicable: (1) the related
Mezzanine Lender, if any, as set forth in the related Mezzanine Intercreditor
Agreement and (2) the related Controlling Holder as set forth in the related
Intercreditor Agreement with respect to such A/B Whole Loans.
(n) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to contrary, in no
event with respect to the Forest Hills Corporate Center A/B Whole Loan or the
Richmond Ridge Apartments A/B Whole Loan, will the related Mortgagor (or any of
its affiliates) be permitted to purchase such Mortgage Loan should such Mortgage
Loan become a Defaulted Loan under this Agreement.
(o) With respect to each Whole Loan with a related Securitized
Companion Loan, upon the Trustee having actual knowledge that the related
Mortgage Loan has become a Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall promptly notify, in
writing, each related Companion Loan Holder (such notice shall include the
option price for such Securitized Companion Loan as determined by the Special
Servicer based on the same methodology for determining the fair value of the
related Mortgage Loan) or if such Securitized Companion Loan has been
securitized, the applicable trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing
Agreement (who shall be instructed to promptly notify, in writing, the
"controlling class representative" (as defined in the related Other Pooling and
Servicing Agreement) of that securitization or an analogous party). Upon receipt
of such notice, the related "controlling class representative" (as defined in
the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or analogous party shall have
the right, at its option, to purchase its respective Serviced Securitized
Companion Loan from the trust established pursuant to the related Other Pooling
and Servicing Agreement for a price determined by the Special Servicer in
accordance with Section 3.18 hereof, with respect to such Securitized Companion
Loan. Such Purchase Option shall otherwise be on the same terms as the Purchase
Option provided to the Option Holder in Section 3.18(a) mutatis mutandis.
Section 3.19 Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer shall maintain at its Primary Servicing
Office and shall, upon reasonable advance written notice, make available for
review by each Rating Agency and by any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner
or any Person identified to the Master Servicer as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate or an interest therein, copies of the Servicing Files; provided
that, if the Master Servicer in its reasonable, good faith determination
believes that any item of information contained in such Servicing Files is of a
nature that it should be conveyed to all Certificateholders at the same time, it
shall, as soon as reasonably possible following its receipt of any such item of
information, disclose such item of information to the Trustee as part of the
reports to be delivered to the Trustee by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 4.02(b), and until the Trustee has either disclosed such information to
all Certificateholders in a Distribution Date Statement or has properly filed
such information with the Commission on behalf of the Trust under the Exchange
Act, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to withhold such item of information
from any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or prospective transferee of a
Certificate or an interest therein; and provided, further, the Master Servicer
shall not be required to make particular items of information contained in the
Servicing File for any Loan available to any Person if the disclosure of such
particular items of information is expressly prohibited by applicable law or the
provisions of any related loan documents. Except as set forth in the provisos to
the preceding sentence, copies of all or any portion of any Servicing File are
to be made available by the Master Servicer upon request; however, the Master
Servicer shall be permitted to require payment of a sum sufficient to cover the
reasonable out-of-pocket costs for making such copies (other than with respect
to the Rating Agencies and the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling
Class). The Special Servicer shall, as to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO
Property, promptly deliver to the Master Servicer a copy of each document or
instrument added to the related Servicing File, and the Master Servicer shall in
no way be in default under this Section 3.19(a) solely by reason of the Special
Servicer's failure to do so.
In connection with providing access to or copies of the items
described in the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer may require, unless
the Depositor directs otherwise, (a) in the case of Certificate Owners, a
written confirmation executed by the requesting Person, in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Master Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is
a beneficial holder of Certificates and will otherwise keep such information
confidential and (b) in the case of a prospective purchaser, confirmation
executed by the requesting Person generally to the effect that such Person is a
prospective purchaser of a Certificate or an interest therein, is requesting the
information for use in evaluating a possible investment in Certificates and will
otherwise keep such information confidential. All Certificateholders, by the
acceptance of their Certificates, shall be deemed to have agreed to keep such
information confidential, except to the extent that the Depositor grants written
permission to the contrary or to the extent such information is public
information. The Master Servicer shall not be liable for the dissemination of
information in accordance with this Section 3.19(a).
(b) Promptly following the occurrence of an Appraisal Trigger Event
with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan (each such Mortgage Loan or
Whole Loan and any related REO Loan, until it ceases to be such in accordance
with the following paragraph, a "Required Appraisal Loan"), the Special Servicer
shall obtain (or, if such Required Appraisal Loan has a Stated Principal Balance
of $2,000,000 or less, at its discretion, conduct) an Appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property, unless an Appraisal thereof had previously been obtained
(or, if applicable, conducted) within the preceding 12-month period and there
has been no subsequent material change in the circumstances surrounding the
related Mortgaged Property that, in the judgment of the Special Servicer, would
materially affect the value of the property, and shall deliver a copy of such
Appraisal to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder,
the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved) and any Holder
of a Non-Registered Certificate (other than a Class V, Class R-I or Class R-II
Certificate), subject, in each instance, to Section 12.10(b). If such Appraisal
is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost thereof shall be covered by,
and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. Promptly following the receipt of,
and based upon, such Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall determine and report
to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, the
related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved) and any Holder of a
Non-Registered Certificate (other than a Class V, Class R-I or Class R-II
Certificate), subject, in each instance, to Section 12.10(b), the then
applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject
Required Appraisal Loan.
For so long as any Loan or REO Loan remains a Required Appraisal
Loan, the Special Servicer shall, within 30 days of each anniversary of such
loan's having become a Required Appraisal Loan, obtain (or, if such Required
Appraisal Loan has a Stated Principal Balance of $2,000,000 or less, at its
discretion, conduct) an update of the prior Appraisal, and shall deliver a copy
of such update to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Directing
Certificateholder, the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is
involved) and any Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate (other than a Class V,
Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate), subject, in each instance, to Section
12.10(b). If such update is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost
thereof shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.
Promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such update, the Special
Servicer shall redetermine and report to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Loan Holder or any
Controlling Holder, as applicable, related to a Whole Loan (subject, in each
instance, to Section 12.10(b)) and any Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate
(other than a Class V, Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate subject to Section
12.10(b)), the then applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect
to the subject Required Appraisal Loan.
The Directing Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan
Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved and to the extent so provided in the
applicable Intercreditor Agreement) have the right at any time to require that
the Special Servicer obtain a new Appraisal of the subject Mortgaged Property in
accordance with MAI standards from a Qualified Appraiser selected by the Special
Servicer, at the expense of the requesting party. Upon receipt of such Appraisal
the Special Servicer shall deliver a copy thereof to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan Holder
(if a Whole Loan is involved). Promptly following the receipt of, and based
upon, such Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall redetermine and report to the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder and the related
Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), the then applicable
Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject Required
Appraisal Loan.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each deliver
to the other, to the Trustee (but only upon its request) and to the Directing
Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is
involved), copies of all Appraisals, environmental reports and engineering
reports (or, in each case, updates thereof) obtained by it with respect to any
Mortgaged Property or REO Property. Upon the request of any Rating Agency or any
Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate (except a Class V, Class R-I or Class
R-II Certificate), pursuant to Section 8.12(b), the Trustee will inform the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of such request and, if
necessary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will deliver
instructions, whereupon either such party, as applicable, shall deliver copies
of any of the items delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence to such
requesting Person.
(d) No more frequently than once per calendar month, the Special
Servicer may require the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall be
obligated subject to the second following paragraph to reimburse the Special
Servicer for any Servicing Advances that were made by the Special Servicer
(notwithstanding the fact that it has no obligation to make such Servicing
Advances), but not previously reimbursed (whether pursuant to this Section
3.19(d) or otherwise) to the Special Servicer, and to pay the Special Servicer
interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not
including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying
payment of interest shall be made within ten days of the request therefor by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the
Special Servicer. Upon the Master Servicer's reimbursement to the Special
Servicer of any Servicing Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of
interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.19(d), the Master
Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such
Servicing Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer originally made such
Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement
for such Advance, together with Advance Interest thereon, at the same time, in
the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise
have been entitled if it had actually made such Servicing Advance.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if the Special Servicer (i) is required under any other provision of
this Agreement to direct the Master Servicer to make a Servicing Advance or (ii)
is otherwise aware a reasonable period in advance that it is reasonably likely
that the Special Servicer will incur a cost or expense that will, when incurred,
constitute a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer shall (in the case of
clause (i) of this sentence), and shall use reasonable efforts to (in the case
of clause (ii) of this sentence), request that the Master Servicer make such
Servicing Advance, such request to be made in writing and confirmed by both
parties and in a timely manner that does not materially and adversely affect the
interests of any Certificateholder, and accompanied by sufficient information
for the Master Servicer to make recoverability determinations, and at least ten
Business Days prior to the date on which failure to make such Servicing Advance
would (with notice from the Trustee regardless of whether such notice is
actually received) constitute an Event of Default pursuant to Section
7.01(a)(v); provided, however, the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially
Serviced Loans and REO Properties) is allowed but not required to make any
Servicing Advance that it fails to timely request the Master Servicer to make.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Master Servicer shall have the
obligation to make any such Servicing Advance that it is requested by the
Special Servicer to make within five Business Days of the Master Servicer's
receipt of such request and such information and documents as are reasonably
necessary for the Master Servicer to make such Servicing Advance and to
determine recoverability. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement
for any Servicing Advance made by it at the direction of the Special Servicer,
together with Advance Interest thereon, at the same time, in the same manner and
to the same extent as the Master Servicer is entitled with respect to any other
Servicing Advance made thereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.19(d) or
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall
not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer for, or make at the Special
Servicer's direction, any Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines in
its reasonable, good faith judgment that the Servicing Advance that the Special
Servicer is directing the Master Servicer to reimburse it for or make hereunder,
although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance, is or would be, if made, a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master
Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer and the Trustee in writing of such
determination. Such notice shall not obligate the Special Servicer to make such
Servicing Advance.
(e) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit
into the Distribution Account by 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on each Master
Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor, a cash
payment (a "Compensating Interest Payment") in an amount equal to the sum of (i)
the aggregate amount of Balloon Payment Interest Shortfalls, if any, incurred in
connection with Balloon Payments received in respect of the Mortgage Pool (other
than Mortgage Loans that are Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or Defaulted
Loans) during the most recently ended Collection Period, plus (ii) the lesser of
(A) the aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, incurred in
connection with Principal Prepayments received in respect of the Mortgage Pool
(other than Mortgage Loans that are Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or
Defaulted Loans and other than shortfalls arising in connection with the payment
of insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds) during the most recently ended
Collection Period, and (B) the aggregate of (1) that portion of its Master
Servicing Fees for the related Collection Period that is, in the case of each
and every Loan and REO Loan for which such Master Servicing Fees are being paid
in such Collection Period, calculated at 0.01% per annum, and (2) all Prepayment
Interest Excesses received in respect of the Mortgage Pool during the most
recently ended Collection Period, plus (iii) in the event that any Principal
Prepayment was received on the last Business Day of the second most recently
ended Collection Period, but for any reason was not included as part of the
Master Servicer Remittance Amount for the preceding Master Servicer Remittance
Date (other than because of application of the subject Principal Prepayment in
accordance with Section 3.05(a) for another purpose), the total of all interest
and other income accrued or earned on the amount of such Principal Prepayment
while it is on deposit in the Certificate Account or, in the case of a Mortgage
Loan included in a Whole Loan, Section 3.05(f); provided, however, if a
Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs as a result of the Master Servicer's
allowing the related Borrower to deviate from the terms of the related loan
documents regarding principal prepayments (other than (v) on a Specially
Serviced Loan, (w) a payment of insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds, (x)
a payment subsequent to a default under the related loan documents (provided
that the Master Servicer reasonably believes that acceptance of such payment is
consistent with the Servicing Standard and has obtained the consent of the
Special Servicer), (y) pursuant to applicable law or a court order, or (z) at
the request or with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder), then, for
purposes of calculating the Compensating Interest Payment for the subject
Collection Period, the amount in clause (ii) of this paragraph shall be the
aggregate of (A) all Master Servicing Fees for such Collection Period and (B)
all Prepayment Interest Excesses and, to the extent earned on principal
prepayments, Net Investment Earnings received by the Master Servicer during such
Collection Period; and provided, further, the rights of the Certificateholders
to offset the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls shall not be cumulative.
(f) Except under the same circumstances that it would be permitted
to waive a prepayment lockout provision in the subject Loan pursuant to Section
3.20(a), neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall consent to
any Mortgagor's prepaying its Loan, partially or in its entirety, if the
Mortgagor would be prohibited from doing so without such consent. In each case
subject to the Servicing Standard and applicable law and to the extent permitted
by the related loan documents, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
agree not to accept any Principal Prepayments with respect to any Loan on a date
other than the then applicable due date therefor except that the Special
Servicer shall be permitted to accept Principal Prepayments with the consent of
the Directing Certificateholder.
(g) The Master Servicer shall not exercise any discretionary right
it has with respect to any Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Note or
Mortgage to apply any amounts maintained as an escrow or reserve to the
principal balance of such Loan except in the case of a default thereunder.
(h) The Master Servicer shall send written notice to each Borrower
to the effect that, if applicable, the Master Servicer and/or the Trustee have
been appointed as the "designee" of the lender under any related Lock-Box
Agreement.
(i) In connection with each prepayment of principal received
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall calculate any applicable Prepayment Premium
under the terms of the related Mortgage Note. Promptly following its
determination thereof, the Master Servicer shall disclose to the Trustee its
calculation of any such Prepayment Premium.
(j) The Master Servicer shall, as to each Loan that is secured by
the interest of the related Mortgagor under a Ground Lease, promptly (and in any
event within 45 days) after the Closing Date notify the related ground lessor of
the transfer of such Loan to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and inform
such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related Ground Lease
should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer.
(k) Except as required under the loan documents, Mezzanine
Intercreditor Agreement or applicable law and subject to Section 3.21(f), the
Special Servicer shall not, without the consent of the Directing
Certificateholder, consent to the foreclosure of any Mezzanine Loan or to the
transfer of any Mezzanine Loan.
Section 3.20 Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.
(a) The Master Servicer (solely as to Performing Loans) and the
Special Servicer (as to Specially Serviced Loans) each may, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term
of, forgive or defer the payment of interest (including, without limitation,
Default Interest and Excess Interest) on and principal of, forgive late payment
charges and Prepayment Premiums on, permit the release, addition or substitution
of collateral securing, and/or permit the release of the Mortgagor on or any
guarantor of any Loan it is required to service and administer hereunder without
the consent of the Trustee or any Certificateholder, subject, however, to
Section 3.02, Section 3.08, Section 3.21 and Section 3.28 and each of the
following limitations, conditions and restrictions:
(i) other than as provided in Sections 2.03(b), 3.02, 3.08 and
3.20(g), the Master Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver
or amendment of any term of, or take any of the other acts referenced in
this Section 3.20(a) with respect to, any Loan, that would affect the
amount or timing of any related payment of principal, interest or other
amount payable under such Loan or affect the security for such Loan,
unless the Master Servicer has obtained the consent of the Special
Servicer (it being understood and agreed that (A) the Master Servicer
shall promptly provide the Special Servicer with notice of any Mortgagor's
request for such modification, waiver or amendment, the Master Servicer's
recommendations and analysis, and with all information reasonably
available to the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably
request to withhold or grant any such consent, each of which shall be
provided reasonably promptly in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
(B) the Special Servicer shall decide whether to withhold or grant such
consent in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (C) if any such
request has not been expressly responded to within ten Business Days
(subject to any extensions of applicable time periods required if the
Special Servicer is required by this Agreement to seek the consent of
third parties) of the Special Servicer's receipt from the Master Servicer
of the Master Servicer's recommendations and analysis and all information
reasonably requested thereby and reasonably available to the Master
Servicer, as such time period may be extended if the Special Servicer is
required to seek the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, the
related Companion Loan Holder or any Controlling Holder, as applicable,
related to a Whole Loan, any mezzanine lender, or the Rating Agencies, to
make an informed decision (or, if the Special Servicer did not request any
information, within ten Business Days from such notice), such consent
shall be deemed to have been granted);
(ii) Subject to the restrictions on extensions in Section
3.20(a)(iv), the Master Servicer may (with the consent of the Directing
Certificateholder, subject, however, to Section 3.21(f)) extend the
maturity date of any Mortgage Loan (including any Whole Loan, if
applicable) for up to six months (but not more than two such extensions by
the Master Servicer shall occur);
(iii) other than as provided in Sections 3.02 and 3.08, the Special
Servicer shall not agree to (or, in the case of a Performing Loan, consent
to the Master Servicer's agreeing to) any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of, or take (or, in the case of a Performing Loan,
consent to the Master Servicer's taking) any of the other acts referenced
in this Section 3.20(a) with respect to, any Loan that would affect the
amount or timing of any related payment of principal, interest or other
amount payable thereunder or, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of
the Special Servicer, would add to, release, substitute for, or otherwise
alter a material amount of the security for such Loan, unless a material
default on such Loan has occurred or, in the reasonable, good faith
judgment of the Special Servicer, a default in respect of payment on such
Loan is reasonably foreseeable, and such modification, waiver, amendment
or other action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to the
Certificateholders, or if a Whole Loan is affected, to the
Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective
whole and, in the case of an A/B Whole Loan, taking into account the
subordination of the related A/B Companion Loan) on a net present value
basis than would liquidation;
(iv) the Special Servicer shall not extend (or, in the case of a
Performing Loan, consent to the Master Servicer's extending) the date on
which any Balloon Payment is scheduled to be due on any Loan to a date
beyond the earliest of (A) five years prior to the Rated Final
Distribution Date, and (B) if such Loan is secured by a Mortgage solely or
primarily on the related Mortgagor's leasehold interest in the related
Mortgaged Property, 20 years (or, to the extent consistent with the
Servicing Standard, giving due consideration to the remaining term of the
Ground Lease, ten years) prior to the end of the then current term of the
related Ground Lease (plus any unilateral options to extend);
(v) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall make
or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, or take
any of the other acts referenced in this Section 3.20(a) with respect to,
any Loan that would result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to
either of REMIC I or REMIC II;
(vi) subject to applicable law, the related loan documents and the
Servicing Standard, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer
shall permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Loan
unless all related fees and expenses are paid by the related Mortgagor;
(vii) the Special Servicer shall not permit (or, in the case of a
Performing Loan, consent to the Master Servicer's permitting) any
Mortgagor to add or substitute any real estate collateral for its Loan
unless the Special Servicer shall have first determined in its reasonable,
good faith judgment, based upon a Phase I Environmental Assessment (and
any additional environmental testing that the Special Servicer deems
necessary and prudent) conducted by an Independent Person who regularly
conducts Phase I Environmental Assessments, at the expense of the
Mortgagor, that such additional or substitute collateral is in compliance
with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that there are no
circumstances or conditions present with respect to such new collateral
relating to the use, management or disposal of any Hazardous Materials for
which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or
remediation would be required under any then applicable environmental laws
or regulations; and
(viii) the Special Servicer shall not permit the release, including
in connection with a substitution contemplated by clause (vii) of this
Section 3.20(a), of any collateral securing an outstanding Loan, except as
provided in Section 3.09(d) or Section 3.26, or except where a Loan (or,
in the case of a Cross-Collateralized Set, where such entire
Cross-Collateralized Set) is satisfied, or except in the case of a release
where (A) either (1) the use of the collateral to be released will not, in
the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, materially
and adversely affect the net operating income being generated by or the
use of the related Mortgaged Property, or (2) there is a corresponding
principal pay down of such Loan in an amount at least equal to the
appraised value of the collateral to be released (or substitute collateral
with an appraised value at least equal to that of the collateral to be
released, is delivered), (B) the remaining Mortgaged Property (together
with any substitute collateral) is, in the Special Servicer's good faith
and reasonable judgment, adequate security for the remaining Loan and (C)
such release would not, in and of itself, result in an Adverse Rating
Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates or Companion Loan
Securities (as confirmed in writing to the Trustee by each Rating Agency);
provided that the limitations, conditions and restrictions set forth in clauses
(i) through (vii) of this Section 3.20(a) shall not apply to any act or event
(including, without limitation, a release, substitution or addition of
collateral) in respect of any Loan that either occurs automatically, or results
from the exercise of a unilateral option by the related Mortgagor within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(c)(2)(iii), in any event under
the terms of such Loan in effect on the Closing Date (or, in the case of a
Replacement Mortgage Loan, on the related date of substitution); and provided,
further, notwithstanding clauses (i) through (vii) of this Section 3.20(a),
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to oppose
the confirmation of a plan in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving a
Mortgagor if, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, such opposition would not
ultimately prevent the confirmation of such plan or one substantially similar;
and provided, further, notwithstanding clause (vii) of this Section 3.20(a),
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain
any confirmation of the Certificate or Companion Loan Securities ratings from
the Rating Agencies to grant, or to subordinate the lien of Loans to, easements,
rights-of-way or similar agreements that do not materially affect the use or
value of a Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor's ability to make any payments
with respect to the related Loan.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special
Servicer (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, subject to the
limitations of Section 3.21(f)) may, consistent with the Servicing Standard,
agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan that is not in
default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable if it consults with
counsel (and if it is determined by the Special Servicer to be necessary,
provides the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be at the expense
of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or,
if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other
Person, to be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance to the extent
such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) to obtain advice
regarding whether the contemplated waiver, modification or amendment (i) will
not be a "significant modification" of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b), and (ii) will not cause (x) REMIC I or
REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC for purposes of the Code, or (ii) REMIC I
or REMIC II to be subject to any tax under the REMIC Provisions.
(b) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have
any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders and in the case of a Whole
Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder or any other Person if its analysis and
determination that the modification, waiver, amendment or other action
contemplated by Section 3.20(a) is reasonably likely to produce a greater
recovery to Certificateholders, or if a Whole Loan is affected, to
Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole
and, in the case of an A/B Whole Loan, taking into account the subordination of
the related A/B Companion Loan) on a net present value basis than would
liquidation, should prove to be wrong or incorrect, so long as the analysis and
determination were made on a reasonable basis by the Special Servicer or the
Master Servicer, as applicable, consistent with the Servicing Standard. Each
such determination shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate to such effect
to be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Trustee, the Directing
Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is
involved). The Special Servicer shall include with any such Officer's
Certificate the supporting documentation forming the basis for its conclusion.
(c) Any payment of interest that is deferred pursuant to Section
3.20(a) shall not, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation,
calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid
principal balance or Stated Principal Balance of the related Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Loan so permit or that such interest may
actually be capitalized.
(d) The Master Servicer (as to Performing Loans) and the Special
Servicer (as to Specially Serviced Loans) each may, as a condition to its
granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification, waiver or
indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within the
Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, discretion pursuant
to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Loan and is
permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such Mortgagor pay to it,
as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable fee relating to such consent,
modification, waiver or indulgence (not to exceed 1.0% of the unpaid principal
balance of the related Loan) for the additional services performed in connection
with such request, together with any related costs and expenses incurred by it;
provided that the charging of such fees would not otherwise constitute a
"significant modification" of the Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-2(b). All such fees collected by the Master Servicer and/or the Special
Servicer shall be allocable between such parties, as Additional Master Servicing
Compensation and Additional Special Servicing Compensation, respectively, as
provided in Section 3.11.
(e) All modifications, waivers, amendments and other actions entered
into or taken in respect of the Loans pursuant to the preceding subsections of
this Section 3.20 shall be in writing. Each of the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall notify the other such party, the Trustee, the Directing
Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is
involved), in writing, of any modification, waiver, amendment or other action
entered into or taken in respect of any Loan pursuant to this Section 3.20 and
the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Trustee or the related Custodian for
deposit into the related Mortgage File (with a copy to the other such party), an
original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver,
amendment or other action, promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days)
following the execution thereof. In addition, following the execution of any
modification, waiver or amendment agreed to by the Special Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.20(a), the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee an Officer's Certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis of the determination made by it pursuant to clause (ii) of Section
3.20(a).
(f) With respect to any ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment
Date, the Master Servicer shall be permitted to waive all or any accrued Excess
Interest if, prior to the related maturity date, the related Mortgagor has
requested the right to prepay the Loan in full together with all payments
required by the Loan in connection with such prepayment except for all or a
portion of accrued Excess Interest; provided that the Master Servicer's
determination to waive the right to such accrued Excess Interest is reasonably
likely to produce a greater payment to Certificateholders on a net present value
basis than a refusal to waive the right to such Excess Interest. Any such waiver
shall not be effective until such payment is tendered. The Master Servicer shall
have no liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or any other person so
long as such determination is based on such criteria. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall be
required to seek the consent of the Directing Certificateholder and provide to
the Directing Certificateholder any information that the Directing
Certificateholder may reasonably request in order to grant or deny its consent,
provided that such information is in the possession of the Master Servicer,
prior to waiving any Excess Interest. The Directing Certificateholder's consent
to a waiver shall be deemed granted if the Directing Certificateholder fails to
respond to such request within ten Business Days of its receipt of such request.
Except as permitted in Section 3.20(a), the Special Servicer shall have no right
to waive the payment of Excess Interest.
(g) The Master Servicer shall not be required to seek the consent of
the Special Servicer or any Certificateholder or obtain any confirmation of the
Certificate or Companion Loan Securities ratings from the Rating Agencies
(unless otherwise set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement with respect
to a Whole Loan) to approve the following modifications, waivers or amendments
of the Loans: (i) waivers of minor covenant defaults (other than financial
covenants), including late financial statements; (ii) releases of (A)
non-material parcels of a Mortgaged Property, in connection with a pending or
threatened condemnation; (B) parcels of a Mortgaged Property not given any value
in the underwriting of the Loan; or (C) similar non-material parcels of a
Mortgaged Property; (iii) grant, or to subordinate the lien of Loans to,
easements, rights of way or similar agreements that do not materially affect the
use or value of a Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor's ability to make any
payments with respect to the related Loan; and (iv) other routine leasing
approvals, including the granting of subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreements, with respect to leases (A) where the related lease
constitutes less than the greater of (x) 20% of the total square footage of the
related Mortgaged Property and (y) 20,000 total square feet, (B) that would be
considered "at market rates" (i.e. the space is being leased at rates which are
not materially above or materially below the rates that would be offered by
similarly situated properties where the Mortgaged Property is located in the
reasonable judgment of a commercially prudent commercial mortgage loan servicer)
and (C) that are not ground leases; provided that (w) any such modification,
waiver or amendment would not in any way affect a payment term of the
Certificates, (x) any such modification, waiver or amendment would not
constitute a "significant modification" of such Loan pursuant to Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise constitute an Adverse
REMIC Event or Adverse Grantor Trust Event (y) agreeing to any such
modification, waiver or amendment would be consistent with the Servicing
Standard, and (z) agreeing to any such modification, waiver or amendment shall
not violate the terms, provisions or limitations of this Agreement or any other
document contemplated hereby.
The Master Servicer shall submit any non-material modification,
waivers or amendment not provided for in clause (i) through (iv) of Section
3.20(g) which are necessary to correct a scrivener's error on the terms of any
Mortgage Loan which is patent on its face or cure any ambiguity caused by such a
scrivener's error for review and approval by the Special Servicer. The Special
Servicer shall have five Business Days from receipt thereof to approve or
respond and its failure to respond within such time period shall constitute
deemed approval. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to a fee with
respect to the review of the items discussed in the first two sentences of this
paragraph.
The Special Servicer, with respect to any request that the Master
Servicer is required to seek the approval or consent thereof under this Section
3.20(g), shall respond to the Master Servicer in writing (which may be via
e-mail or facsimile) of its decision to grant or deny the Master Servicer's
request for approval and consent within ten Business Days of its receipt of such
request and all information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer or such
longer time as is applicable if Directing Certificateholder consent is required;
it being understood, however, the Special Servicer shall forward any request for
approval to the Directing Certificateholder within five Business Days of receipt
of the Master Servicer's request thereof and the ten Business Day period with
respect to Directing Certificateholder approvals in Section 3.21(e) still
applies such that, if there is not a response after 15 Business Days, the
requested approval and consent shall be deemed approved and consented to by the
Special Servicer and the Directing Certificateholder. If the Special Servicer so
fails to respond to the Master Servicer within the time period referenced in the
immediately preceding sentence, such approval and consent shall be deemed
granted.
(h) In connection with granting an extension of the maturity date of
any Loan in accordance with Section 3.20(a), the Special Servicer, in the case
of a Specially Serviced Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of a
Performing Loan, shall each cause the related Mortgagor to agree, if it has not
already done so pursuant to the existing loan documents, to thereafter deliver
to the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder and the
related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), audited operating
statements on a quarterly basis with respect to the related Mortgaged Property,
provided that the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be,
may, in its sole discretion, waive the requirement that such statements be
audited.
(i) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer collects a
modification fee or a modification application fee in connection with a
modification or proposed modification of a Loan, then the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, will apply that fee to cover the costs and
expenses associated with that modification or proposed modification that are not
otherwise paid by the related Mortgagor and that would otherwise be payable or
reimbursable out of the Trust Fund, including any Rating Agency fees and
expenses. Any remaining portion of such modification fee (such remaining
portion, a "Net Modification Fee") or of such modification application fee (such
remaining portion, a "Net Modification Application Fee") will be applied as
additional compensation to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in
accordance with Section 3.11.
Section 3.21 Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer and
Special Servicer; Record Keeping; Asset Status Report.
(a) Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred
with respect to any Loan, the Master Servicer shall immediately give notice
thereof to the Directing Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan Holder
(if a Whole Loan is involved), and deliver the related Servicing File to the
Special Servicer and shall use its best efforts to provide the Special Servicer
with all information, documents (or copies thereof) and records (including
records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like)
relating to the Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable
it to assume its functions hereunder with respect thereto without acting through
a Sub-Servicer. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.01(b) or any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the copying and delivery of such
documents, instruments, items, records and information shall not be at the
expense of the Special Servicer. At its option, although its Sub-Servicing
Agreement is temporarily suspended, the related Sub-Servicer, without any
compensation therefor, may retain Loans on its computer systems while such Loans
are Specially Serviced Loans, provided that no Sub-Servicer shall take any
action with respect thereto so long as such Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan
and provided that the Master Servicer shall assume all the Master Servicing
duties with respect to that Loan as provided in the second succeeding paragraph.
The Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to comply with the third
preceding sentence within five Business Days of the occurrence of each related
Servicing Transfer Event. The Master Servicer shall deliver to each Holder of a
Non-Registered Certificate (except a Class V, Class R-I or Class R-II
Certificate) that shall have requested a copy of any such notice a copy of the
notice of such Servicing Transfer Event provided by the Master Servicer to the
Special Servicer pursuant to this Section. No later than ten Business Days
before the Master Servicer is required to deliver a copy of the related
Servicing File to the Special Servicer, it shall review the Servicing File and
request from the Trustee any material documents that it is aware are missing
from the Servicing File. If the related Sub-Servicer elects not to retain
Specially Serviced Loans on its computer systems, then such Sub-Servicer shall
return all Mortgage Files to the Master Servicer.
Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Loan has become a
Corrected Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof to the
Master Servicer and to the Directing Certificateholder and the related Companion
Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), and return the related Servicing File
to the Master Servicer within five Business Days and upon giving such notice and
returning such Servicing File, to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer's
obligation to service such Loan, and the Special Servicer's right to receive the
Special Servicing Fee with respect to such Loan, shall terminate, and the
obligations of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Loan shall
resume.
Notwithstanding other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Master Servicer shall remain responsible for the accounting, data
collection, reporting and other basic Master Servicer administrative functions
with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans, provided that the Master Servicer
shall establish reasonable procedures as to the application of Special Servicer
receipts and tendered payments, and the Special Servicer shall have the
exclusive responsibility for and authority over all contacts (including
collection, which information shall be provided by the Master Servicer) with and
notices to Mortgagors and similar matters relating to each Specially Serviced
Loan and the related Mortgaged Property.
Also notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection
with the transfer to the Special Servicer of the servicing, subject to Section
2.03, of a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan as a result of a Servicing
Transfer Event or the reassumption of servicing responsibilities by the Master
Servicer with respect to any such Loan upon its becoming a Corrected Loan, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each transfer to the other, as
and when applicable, the servicing of all other Cross-Collateralized Mortgage
Loans constituting part of the same Cross-Collateralized Set; provided that no
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan may become a Corrected Loan at any time that
a continuing Servicing Transfer Event exists with respect to another
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan in the same Cross-Collateralized Set.
(b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer
shall provide to the Trustee the originals, of documents contemplated by the
definition of "Mortgage File" and generated while such Loan is a Specially
Serviced Loan, for inclusion in the related Mortgage File (with a copy of each
such original to the Master Servicer), and provide to the Master Servicer copies
of any additional related Loan information, including correspondence with the
related Mortgagor generated while such Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in
the event that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are the same Person,
all notices, certificates, information, consents and documents required to be
given or delivered by the Master Servicer to the Special Servicer or vice versa
shall be deemed to be given or delivered, as the case may be, without the
necessity of any action on such Person's part.
(d) No later than 45 days after the date the servicing of a Loan is
transferred from the Master Servicer to the Special Servicer pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall deliver to each Rating
Agency, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the related Companion Loan Holder (if
a Whole Loan is involved), and the Directing Certificateholder a report (the
"Asset Status Report") with respect to such Loan and the related Mortgaged
Property. Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to
the extent reasonably determinable:
(i) a summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Loan and any
negotiations with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations
reasonably known to the Special Servicer (including without limitation by
reason of any Phase I Environmental Assessment and any additional
environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.09), consistent with the
Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies set
forth herein and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other
collateral for the related Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been
retained;
(iii) the most current rent roll and income or operating statement
available for the related Mortgaged Property;
(iv) the Special Servicer's recommendations on how such
Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status and
returned to the Master Servicer for regular servicing or otherwise
realized upon;
(v) the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property together
with the assumptions used in the calculation thereof (which the
Special Servicer may satisfy by providing a copy of the last
obtained Appraisal); and
(vi) such other information as the Special Servicer deems
relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.
If within ten Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the
Directing Certificateholder (except with respect to any Whole Loan) or the
related Controlling Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), does not disapprove
such Asset Status Report in writing, the Special Servicer shall implement the
recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however,
the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law,
the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable loan documents; provided,
further, if the Special Servicer determines that the failure to take any action
set forth in such Asset Status Report would violate the Servicing Standard, the
Special Servicer may implement the recommended action outlined in such Asset
Status Report without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder's or the
related Controlling Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved) response. If the
Directing Certificateholder or the related Controlling Holder (if a Whole Loan
is involved) disapproves such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer will
revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Directing Certificateholder
or the related Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved), the Rating
Agencies, the Trustee and the Master Servicer a new Asset Status Report as soon
as practicable, but no later than 30 days after such disapproval. The Special
Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above in this
Section 3.21(d) until the earlier of (x) the delivery by the Directing
Certificateholder or the related Controlling Holder (if a Whole Loan is
involved), as applicable, of an affirmative approval in writing of such revised
Asset Status Report, (y) the failure of the Directing Certificateholder or the
related Controlling Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), as applicable, to
disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten Business Days
of its receipt thereof; or (z) the passage of 90 days from the date of
preparation of the initial version of the Asset Status Report. Following the
earliest of such events, and subject to the terms of Section 3.20, the Special
Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in the most recent
version of such Asset Status Report (provided that the Special Servicer shall
not take any action that is contrary to applicable law or the terms of the
applicable loan documents or that violates the Servicing Standard or fail to
take any action, if the failure to take such action would violate the Servicing
Standard). The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status
Report it has previously delivered and implement the new action in such revised
report so long as such revised report has been prepared, reviewed and either
approved or not rejected as provided above. For the avoidance of doubt, any
action to be taken (or not taken) by the Special Servicer with respect to an
Asset Status Report must be in all respects consistent with the Servicing
Standard and applicable law. The Special Servicer shall have the authority to
meet with the Mortgagor for any Specially Serviced Loan and take such actions
consistent with the Servicing Standard and the related Asset Status Report. The
Special Servicer shall not take any action inconsistent with the related Asset
Status Report, unless such action would be required to act in accordance with
the Servicing Standard.
(e) The Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable,
shall provide the Directing Certificateholder and the related Controlling
Holder, as applicable, with not less than ten Business Days' prior notice
(except as provided in Section 3.08(a)) of any Special Action (as described
below) that the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, proposes
to take and, in the case of the Special Action described in clause (vi) in this
Section 3.21(e), the Special Servicer shall also contemporaneously notify the
Master Servicer; provided, however, if a shorter period of notice is necessary
to avoid the occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event or a violation of Section
3.21(f), then the required period of notice shall be such shorter period.
The Directing Certificateholder (except with respect to any A/B
Whole Loan) or the related Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is
involved), as applicable, shall be entitled to advise the Special Servicer with
respect to any Special Action, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Special Servicer shall not take any Special Action or
consent to the taking of any Special Action if the Directing Certificateholder
(except with respect to any A/B Whole Loan) or the related Controlling Holder
(if an A/B Whole Loan is involved), as applicable, has objected thereto by the
close of business on the tenth Business Day following its receipt of notice
thereof, or if a shorter period was necessitated in accordance with the
preceding sentence, by the close of business on the date on which such shorter
period expires (it being understood that the failure of the Directing
Certificateholder (except with respect to any A/B Whole Loan) or the related
Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved), as applicable, to respond
in the time frame set forth in the Approval Provisions shall be deemed to
constitute such party's approval of such action); provided, however, (i) the
ability of the Directing Certificateholder or the related Controlling Holder (if
a A/B Whole Loan is involved), as applicable, to so advise or object shall in
all events be subject to Section 3.21(f) and shall not violate the provisions of
the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement (with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a
related Mezzanine Loan), (ii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, shall not follow any such advice or objection that would result in a
violation of this Agreement, including Section 3.21(f), the loan documents, any
Intercreditor Agreement or applicable laws or otherwise result in an Adverse
REMIC Event or violate the provisions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement
(with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a related Mezzanine Loan) and (iii) if
(a) the Directing Certificateholder (except with respect to any A/B Whole Loan)
or the related Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved), as
applicable, (b) the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, together
cannot agree within 10 Business Days upon a course of action with respect to any
Special Action, then the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable,
shall implement its proposed course of action and (c) if the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer determines that immediate action is necessary in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, it may take such action prior to the expiration of
the ten Business Day period. Subject to the foregoing, in connection with the
implementation of any Special Action or the extension of the maturity date of a
Loan, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall comply with the Approval
Provisions, as applicable. For purposes hereof, "Special Action" means each of
the following actions:
(i) any proposed or actual foreclosure upon or comparable conversion
(which may include acquisitions of an REO Property) of the ownership of
properties securing such of the Specially Serviced Loans as come into and
continue in default;
(ii) any modification, extension, amendment or waiver of a monetary
term (including the timing of payments) or any material non-monetary term

"due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clause as set forth in clause (vi);
(iii) any proposed or actual sale of a Defaulted Loan or REO
Property (other than in connection with the termination of the Trust Fund
or pursuant to Section 3.18);
(iv) any determination to bring an REO Property into compliance with
applicable environmental laws or to otherwise address Hazardous Materials
located at an REO Property;
(v) any acceptance of substitute or additional collateral for a Loan
unless the lender is required to accept such collateral by the underlying
loan documents and any release of the real estate collateral securing the
Loan (except as permitted by clause (ii) of Section 3.20(g));
(vi) any waiver of a "due-on-sale" clause (except as set forth in
Section 3.08(a)) or "due-on-encumbrance" clause;
(vii) any acceptance or approval of acceptance or consent to
acceptance of an assumption agreement releasing a borrower from liability
under a Loan (except as set forth in Section 3.08(a));
(viii) any acceptance of a discounted payoff of a Mortgage Loan;
(ix) any release of earnout reserve funds (other than as expressly
required, with no lender discretion and/or is automatic, under the related
loan documents);

required, with no lender discretion and/or is automatic, under the related
loan documents);
(xi) any approval of a material lease (in excess of 20% of the
leasable space) (other than as expressly required, with no lender
discretion and/or is automatic, under the related loan documents); or
(xii) any change in property manager or franchise (other than as
expressly required, with no lender discretion and/or is automatic, under
the related loan documents).
(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, (i) no objection, failure to approve or direction of the Directing
Certificateholder or the related Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is
involved), as applicable, shall (A) require or cause the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Loan then serviced
by it, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Master
Servicer's obligation or the Special Servicer's obligation to act in accordance
with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each of REMIC I
and REMIC II, or (B) result in the imposition of a "prohibited transaction" or
"prohibited contribution" tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (C) expose the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Fund, the
Trustee or their officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or
liability, or (D) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer's or the
Master Servicer's responsibilities under this Agreement (the "Prohibited
Actions"), and (ii) in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer take any action or refrain from taking any action if the taking of such
action or the refraining from taking of such action would violate the Servicing
Standard or the REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, shall disregard any such direction, failure to approve or objection.
The Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability to the
Certificateholders (other than the holders of the Controlling Class) and the
related Controlling Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved) shall have no liability
to the Certificateholders (including the holders of the Controlling Class) for
any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, the Directing
Certificateholder or the related Controlling Holder (if a Whole Loan is
involved), as applicable, will not be protected against any liability to any
Holder of the Controlling Class would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason
of reckless disregard of obligations or duties. By its acceptance of a
Certificate, each Certificateholder confirms its understanding that the
Directing Certificateholder or the related Controlling Holder (if a Whole Loan
is involved), as applicable, may take actions that favor the interests of one or
more Classes of the Certificates over other Classes of the Certificates, and
that the Directing Certificateholder or the related Controlling Holder (if a
Whole Loan is involved), as applicable, may have special relationships and
interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the
Certificates, that the Directing Certificateholder or the related Controlling
Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), as applicable, may act solely in the
interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, that none of the Directing
Certificateholder or any Controlling Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), as
applicable, has any duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other
than the Controlling Class, that none of the Directing Certificateholder or any
Controlling Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), as applicable, shall be deemed
to have been negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in
willful misfeasance, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of
the Holders of the Controlling Class, that none of the Directing
Certificateholder or any Controlling Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), as
applicable, shall have any liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no
Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing
Certificateholder or any Controlling Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), as
applicable, or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for
having so acted.
(g) With respect to each Whole Loan, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein (but subject to Section 3.21(f) and the related
Intercreditor Agreement), (i) the Special Servicer shall be required to consult
with the related Controlling Holder upon the occurrence of any event of default
under the related Whole Loan, to consider alternative actions recommended by
such Controlling Holder and to consult with such Controlling Holder with respect
to determinations made pursuant to Section 3.09 or Section 3.18 and (ii) at any
time (whether or not any event of default under the related Whole Loan has
occurred) the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be required to
consult with such Controlling Holder to the extent that the related loan
documents grant the lender the right to approve budgets for the related
Mortgaged Property, prior to approving any such budget.
(h) In connection with any proposed Special Action, the Special
Servicer shall prepare a summary of such proposed Special Action and an analysis
of whether or not such Special Action is reasonably likely to produce a greater
recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action or making such
determination and shall provide to the Directing Certificateholder or any
Controlling Holder, as applicable, such summary and such information as is in
its possession or control and is reasonably requested by the Directing
Certificateholder or any Controlling Holder, as applicable, as may be necessary
in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling
Holder, as applicable, in order to make a determination with respect to such
Special Action.
The Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall provide to the
Directing Certificateholder by hard copy or by electronic means concurrently
with the delivery thereof to the related Borrower, copies of any notice of an
event of default under the related loan documents and any other notices sent to
such Borrower with respect to foreclosure or other exercise of remedies or
enforcement, modification or waiver with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or
the related Mortgaged Property.
The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall also provide to
the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Holder, as applicable, by
hard copy, electronic means or by other means agreed to by the Directing
Certificateholder or any Controlling Holder, as applicable, and the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer (A) within 30 days of receipt thereof, copies
of any financial statements, certificates, correspondence, notices, bills or
reports with respect to the related Borrower or Mortgaged Property that were
delivered pursuant to, or to which the mortgagee or lender would be entitled to
under, the terms of the related loan documents, (B) within 30 days following the
receipt thereof by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer monthly operating
statements and rent rolls for the related Mortgaged Property and (C) within 30
days following the receipt thereof by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer annual operating statements and rent rolls for the related Mortgaged
Property.
The expense of providing information (except for any notice of an
event of default) and summaries pursuant to this Section 3.21(h) shall be an
expense of the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Holder, as
applicable, and shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund.
Section 3.22 Sub-Servicing Agreements.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (in the case of the
Special Servicer, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) may each
enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third
parties of any or all of its obligations hereunder, provided that, in each case,
the Sub-Servicing Agreement: (i) insofar as it affects the Trust and the related
Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), is consistent with this
Agreement in all material respects; (ii) expressly or effectively provides that
if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall for any
reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation,
by reason of an Event of Default), any successor to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder (including the Trustee if the
Trustee has become such successor pursuant to Section 7.02) may thereupon either
assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date
of assumption, obligations of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the
case may be, under such agreement or, except with respect to those Sub-Servicing
Agreements listed on Schedule II and subject to the provisions of Section
3.22(d), terminate such rights and obligations; (iii) in the case of a
Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer, expressly or
effectively provides that such agreement shall be suspended as to servicing
actions with respect to any Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Loan
becomes a Specially Serviced Loan unless such Loan is then sub-serviced by
Midland Loan Services, Inc. or its permitted successors and assigns pursuant to
such Sub-Servicing Agreement (but only until such time as such Loan becomes a
Corrected Loan); (iv) in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by
the Special Servicer, relates only to Specially Serviced Loans or REO Properties
and expressly or effectively provides that such agreement shall terminate with
respect to any such Loan that becomes a Corrected Loan; (v) in the case of a
Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer, provides that the
related Sub-Servicer shall comply with all reasonable requests for additional
information made by the Master Servicer (provided, however, the related
Sub-Servicer shall not be required to furnish the same information to the Master
Servicer more than once) and, further, provides that the failure of the related
Sub-Servicer to furnish the Master Servicer on a timely basis with any required
reports, statements or other information, including without limitation, the
reports referred to in Section 3.12(a), either (A) shall permit the Master
Servicer to make necessary inquiries of the related borrower directly or (B)
shall (subject to a cure period not to exceed 60 days) constitute an event of
default thereunder for which the Master Servicer may terminate such Sub-Servicer
without payment of any termination fee (it being understood that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this clause (v), the obligations of a Sub-Servicer
in respect of Section 3.12(b) may be limited to the provision of reports as
agreed between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer and response to
reasonable inquiries from the Master Servicer with respect thereto); (vi)
subject to Section 3.08 and Section 3.20(g), does not authorize any Sub-Servicer
to approve a modification or assumption of any Loan without the approval of the
Master Servicer, in the case of Performing Loans or of the Special Servicer, in
the case of Specially Serviced Loans or authorizes the Sub-Servicer to foreclose
any Loan without the approval of the Special Servicer; (vii) imposes no
liability whatsoever on the Trustee, the Certificateholders, any Companion Loan
Holder or any Controlling Holder with respect to anything contained therein
(provided, that nothing herein shall preclude the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer from seeking any indemnification that it would be otherwise entitled to
under this Agreement); (viii) provides that the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer each shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer retained by it in
accordance with the respective Sub-Servicing Agreement and, in any event, from
its own funds; and (ix) contain events of default materially similar to an Event
of Default hereunder for the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, include actions
taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be; and, in connection therewith, all amounts
advanced by any Sub-Servicer to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master
Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, such Advances shall be
recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as
if such Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are
outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section
3.11(g) and/or Section 4.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master
Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as they may agree. For purposes of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be deemed to
have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such
payment. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall notify the
other such party, the Trustee and the related Companion Loan Holder (in the case
of a Whole Loan) and the Depositor in writing promptly of the appointment by it
of any Sub-Servicer, and shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all
Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof,
entered into by it promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents.
(b) Each Sub-Servicer actually performing servicing functions (i)
shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the
Mortgaged Properties for the Loans it is to service are situated, if and to the
extent required by applicable law, and (ii) to the extent sub-servicing
multifamily loans, shall be an approved conventional seller/servicer of
multifamily mortgage loans for Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae or a HUD-Approved
Servicer.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, for the benefit of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holder (in
the case of a Whole Loan), shall (at no expense to the Certificateholders, any
Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Whole Loan) or the Trust) each monitor
the performance and enforce the obligations of its Sub-Servicers under the
related Sub-Servicing Agreements. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the terms of this
Agreement, 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 or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its reasonable business judgment, would
require were it the owner of the Loans. Promptly upon becoming aware of a
default under any Sub-Servicing Agreement to which it is a party, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify each of the
other parties hereto, the Trustee and the related Companion Loan Holder (in the
case of a Whole Loan), and then the Trustee shall provide a copy of such notice
to the Directing Certificateholder, and, in accordance with Section 8.12(b),
shall, upon request, provide a copy of such notice to each Holder of a
Non-Registered Certificate (except a Class V, Class R-I or Class R-II
Certificate) of any such default.
(d) With respect to the Sub-Servicing Agreements in effect as of the
Closing Date that are listed on Schedule II, the initial Master Servicer hereby
agrees that it shall not, in its capacity as Master Servicer, terminate any
Sub-Servicer thereunder without cause. In the event of the resignation, removal
or other termination of the initial Master Servicer (or any successor Master
Servicer) hereunder for any reason, the successor to the initial Master Servicer
(or to such successor Master Servicer) shall elect, with respect to any
Sub-Servicing Agreement existing at the time of such termination (i) to assume
the rights and obligations of the predecessor Master Servicer under such
Sub-Servicing Agreement and continue the sub-servicing arrangements thereunder
on the same terms (including without limitation the obligation to pay the same
sub-servicing fees and other compensation), (ii) to enter into a new
Sub-Servicing Agreement with such Sub-Servicer and on such terms as the new
Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer shall mutually agree (it being understood
that such Sub-Servicer is under no obligation to accept any such new
Sub-Servicing Agreement or to enter into or continue negotiations with the new
Master Servicer) or (iii) except with respect to those Sub-Servicing Agreements
listed on Schedule II, which may only be terminated for cause, to terminate such
Sub-Servicing Agreement without cause provided that such Sub-Servicing
Agreements have events of default that are similar to the Events of Default set
forth in Section 7.01. Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this Section
3.22(d) shall limit the ability of the initial or a successor Master Servicer to
terminate a Sub-Servicer at any time for cause; provided, however, the parties
hereto understand and agree that the refusal or failure of a Sub-Servicer to
enter into or continue negotiations with a successor Master Servicer concerning
a new Sub-Servicing Agreement shall not constitute cause for termination.
References in this Section 3.22(d) to Master Servicer, successor Master Servicer
or subsequent successor Master Servicer shall mean the Trustee, if it is then
Master Servicer, successor Master Servicer or subsequent Master Servicer
pursuant to the operation of Section 7.02.
(e) In the event the Trustee or its designee assumes the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of
amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use its
best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing
Agreement to the assuming party.
(f) Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer shall each remain obligated and liable to the Trustee
and the Certificateholders for the performance of its obligations and duties
under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent
and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and
administering the Loans for which it is responsible.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any
account established and maintained by a Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing
Agreement with the Master Servicer shall for all purposes under this Agreement
be deemed to be an account established and maintained by the Master Servicer.
(h) Each Sub-Servicer pursuant to its related Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall retain the original of any letter of credit that has been issued
in connection with any Loan that it sub-services pursuant to such agreement on
behalf of the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Certificateholders provided
that it shall provide a copy of such letter of credit to the Master Servicer.
(i) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall use
commercially reasonable efforts (including enforcement as such term is described
in Section 3.22(c)) to cause each Additional Servicer and/or Servicing Function
Participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect
to the Mortgage Loans to, forward a copy of each report or statement prepared by
such party pursuant to Section 11.09, 11.10 and/or 11.11 to the Rating Agencies
and the Directing Certificateholder and the related Companion Loan Holder (in
the case of a Whole Loan).
Section 3.23 Designation of the Special Servicer by the Majority
Certificateholder of the Controlling Class or the Controlling Holder.
(a) The Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class may at
any time and from time to time terminate (with or without cause) and replace any
existing Special Servicer or any Special Servicer that has resigned or otherwise
ceased to serve as Special Servicer (other than with respect to any Whole Loan).
Such Majority Certificateholder shall so designate a Person to so serve by the
delivery to the Trustee of a written notice stating such designation. The
Trustee shall, promptly after receiving any such notice, so notify the Rating
Agencies. The designated Person shall become the Special Servicer as of the date
the Trustee shall have received: (i) written confirmation from each Rating
Agency stating that if the designated Person were to serve as Special Servicer
hereunder, none of the then current ratings assigned by such Rating Agency to
the respective Classes of the Certificates would be downgraded, qualified (if
applicable) or withdrawn as a result thereof; (ii) a written acceptance of all
obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, executed by the
designated Person; and (iii) an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person
designated to become the Special Servicer) to the effect that the designation of
such Person to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with this Section
3.23, that upon the execution and delivery of the written acceptance referred to
in the immediately preceding clause (ii), the designated Person shall be bound
by the terms of this Agreement and that this Agreement shall be enforceable
against the designated Person in accordance with its terms. The existing Special
Servicer shall be deemed to have resigned simultaneously with such designated
Person's becoming the Special Servicer hereunder; provided, however; (i) the
terminated or resigned, as applicable, Special Servicer shall continue to be
entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on
or prior to the effective date of such resignation, whether in respect of
Servicing Advances or otherwise, (ii) it shall be entitled to certain Workout
Fees thereafter received to the extent permitted by Section 3.11(c), and (iii)
it and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination
or resignation. Such terminated Special Servicer shall cooperate with the
Trustee and the replacement Special Servicer in effecting the termination of its
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer within two Business Days to the replacement Special Servicer for
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be or should
have been credited by the terminated Special Servicer to the REO Account or
delivered to the Master Servicer or that are thereafter received by the
terminated Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO
Properties and the execution and delivery of such documents acknowledging its
termination as Special Servicer as may be required by any Rating Agency. The
Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class shall be responsible for
paying any costs associated with such replacement, including the reasonable
costs of any servicing transfer.
(b) Solely with respect to A/B Whole Loans, the related Controlling
Holder shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Special
Servicer under this Agreement with respect the related A/B Whole Loan, with or
without cause, upon ten Business Days notice to the Special Servicer, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee, and to appoint a successor Special Servicer; provided,
however, as evidenced in writing by each of the Rating Agencies, the appointment
of the proposed successor of the Special Servicer will not, in and of itself,
result in a downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings
provided by the Rating Agencies in respect to any Class of Certificates. Except
as provided in this Section 3.23(b), there shall not be more than two Special
Servicers appointed under this Agreement. No penalty or fee shall be payable to
the Special Servicer with respect to any termination pursuant to this Section
3.23(b). Such Controlling Holder shall cause the Special Servicer to be
reimbursed for the payment of any outstanding reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses pursuant to the terms hereof, which costs and expenses shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund and shall be responsible for paying any costs
associated with any such replacement of the Special Servicer, including
reasonable costs of any servicing transfer.
The successor Special Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the
Trustee of any appointment contemplated by this Section 3.23 at least two
Business Days prior to the effective date thereof and shall provide the
Depositor and the Trustee with all information reasonably requested by the
Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K
not later than the effective date of such appointment.
The terminated Special Servicer (i) shall continue to be entitled to
receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to
the effective date of such termination, whether in respect of Servicing Advances
or otherwise, (ii) it shall be entitled to certain Workout Fees thereafter
received to the extent permitted by Section 3.11(c), and (iii) it and its
directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination. Such terminated
Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and the replacement Special
Servicer in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights
hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within two Business Days
to the replacement Special Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts
that shall at the time be or should have been credited by the terminated Special
Servicer to the REO Account or delivered to the Master Servicer or that are
thereafter received by the terminated Special Servicer with respect to Specially
Serviced Loans and REO Properties and the execution and delivery of such
documents acknowledging its termination as Special Servicer as may be required
by any Rating Agency.
Section 3.24 Confidentiality.
Subject to the terms of Section 3.19(a), the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer will use reasonable efforts to keep confidential and not
disclose to any Person other than each other, the Depositor, the Trustee, a
Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Sub-Servicer (with respect to any Loans
it is sub-servicing), a Borrower (with respect to the related Loan), any
Certificateholder, the related Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Whole
Loan) and the Rating Agencies, any information that it obtains in its capacity
as Master Servicer or Special Servicer with respect to the Loans or any related
Mortgagor including, without limitation, credit information with respect to any
such Mortgagor (collectively, "Confidential Information"), except (i) any
officers, directors and employees of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (or
any officers, directors and employees of any Affiliates of the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer); (ii) auditors and government regulators of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer and any agents, financial or tax advisors,
attorneys, accountants and professional consultants retained by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement that have been informed of the confidential
nature of the information provided to them; (iii) each Mortgage Loan Seller with
respect to information relating to the Loans transferred into the Trust by such
Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) a potential purchaser of servicing rights hereunder
that has agreed to keep such information confidential; (v) to the extent the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer deems such disclosure to be reasonably
necessary in carrying out its duties pursuant to this Agreement or any
Sub-Servicing Agreement; (vi) to the extent such information is publicly
available or otherwise available from sources unrelated to this transaction;
(vii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or court order or is
demanded pursuant to a subpoena; (viii) to the extent such information is
required to be delivered to third parties (including, without limitation,
property inspectors, tax service companies, insurance carriers, and data systems
vendors) in connection with the performance of the Master Servicer's or the
Special Servicer's obligations hereunder; or (ix) to the extent the Depositor
consents in writing to such disclosure. For purposes of this paragraph, the
terms "Master Servicer" and "Special Servicer" shall mean the divisions or
departments of such corporate entities involved in providing services hereunder
and their respective officers, directors and employees. Notwithstanding anything
in this Section 3.24 to the contrary, the Master Servicer, and any Sub-Servicer
with the prior written permission of the Master Servicer, may disseminate
pool-wide and general statistical information relating to the Loans and the Loan
portfolio being serviced (as to any Sub-Servicer, limited to its own
sub-serviced portfolio), so long as no Mortgagors are identified. In no event
shall the Master Servicer or Special Servicer have any liability under this
Section 3.24 for reporting, delivering or disclosing information in good faith
pursuant to the duties and requirements imposed by it under the other provisions
of this Agreement.
Section 3.25 No Solicitation of Prepayments.
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall solicit
or permit any Affiliate to solicit, either directly or indirectly, prepayments
from any Mortgagors under the Loans; provided that payments on any ARD Loan on
or after the related Anticipated Repayment Date shall be deemed not to
constitute prepayments for this purpose; provided, however, the foregoing
restriction shall not be interpreted to prohibit such solicitation by a division
or department of, or an Affiliate of, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, or otherwise by a division or department of, or an Affiliate of, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer if such solicitation occurs incidentally
in the normal course of business and such solicitation is not conducted, in
whole or in part, (i) by an individual engaged at any time in activities
relating to the servicing of Loans or (ii) based upon or otherwise with the
benefit of information or documentation relating to the Certificates obtained by
or through the business unit within the Master Servicer or Special Servicer
responsible for servicing the Loans (other than information that has previously
been filed with the Commission without fault by such Person), including without
limitation any listing of the Loans or related Mortgagors or Mortgaged
Properties. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall contain a provision identical to
the foregoing with respect to the related Sub-Servicer.
Section 3.26 Certain Matters with Respect to Mortgage Loans
Permitting Defeasance, Franchise Mortgage Loans and Certain Mortgage Loans
Permitting Additional Debt.
(a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which the Master
Servicer shall have the discretion pursuant to the terms thereof to require the
related Mortgagor to post defeasance collateral consisting of U.S. government
securities, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-2(a)(8)(i), in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under
the Mortgage Note when due in lieu of making a permitted prepayment, the Master
Servicer shall so require defeasance; provided that the Master Servicer has
received an Opinion of Counsel that such defeasance complies with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8). The Master Servicer may accept as defeasance
collateral any "government security," within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-(2)(a)(8)(i), notwithstanding any more restrictive requirements
in the Mortgage.
(b) The Master Servicer shall require, as a condition to the
exercise by the Mortgagor of any defeasance rights, that the Mortgagor pay any
costs and expenses associated with such exercise.
(c) To the extent that the terms of a Mortgage permit defeasance,
the Master Servicer shall require the related Mortgagor to deliver a
certification from the Mortgagor's independent certified public accountants as
to the sufficiency of the related U.S. government securities, and provide a copy
of such certification to each Rating Agency and the Directing Certificateholder.
(d) To the extent that the terms of a Mortgage permit defeasance,
the Master Servicer shall not approve the form and substance of any required
legal documents in connection with such defeasance unless (i) to the extent that
the outstanding principal balance of a Mortgage Loan is $20,000,000 or more, or
constitutes 5% or more of the then current principal balance of the Mortgage
Pool or such Mortgage Loan comprises at the time one of the ten largest Mortgage
Loans (by outstanding principal balance) in the Mortgage Pool, Fitch and Xxxxx'x
each shall have confirmed to it in writing that such defeasance will not result
in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification (if applicable) of the rating of
any Class of Certificates or Companion Loan Securities, (ii) it shall have
obtained an Opinion of Counsel that the defeasance complies with applicable
REMIC Provisions; and, (iii) it shall have obtained an accountant's
certification that the defeasance collateral is sufficient to make payments
under the related Mortgage Loan for the remainder of its term. In the case of
the defeasance of any Mortgage Loan that does not require a Rating Agency
confirmation pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Master
Servicer must provide to S&P after completion of the defeasance a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto.
(e) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that provides for defeasance,
to the extent permitted by the terms of such Mortgage Loan, or if so requested
by the Rating Agencies, the Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to have
the related Mortgagor (i) designate a Single-Purpose-Entity (if the borrower no
longer complies) to assume the Mortgage Loan and own the collateral and (ii)
provide an opinion from counsel that the Trustee has a perfected security
interest in the new collateral.
(f) To the extent that (i) the outstanding principal balance of a
Mortgage Loan is $20,000,000 or more or constitutes 2% or more of the then
current principal balance of the Mortgage Pool, and (ii) the terms of the
related loan documents require the consent of the lender in order for the
related Mortgagor to change the manager of the related Mortgaged Property, the
Master Servicer shall not so consent to such a change in management unless it
has received (a) the prior consent of the Special Servicer, which will be deemed
given if such party has not responded within ten Business Days (as such period
may be extended herein if the consent of the Directing Certificateholder or any
Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved) is required hereunder)
following delivery of request for consent together with any information
reasonably necessary to make a decision and (b) a written confirmation from each
Rating Agency such a change in management, if effected, would not result in the
withdrawal, downgrade or qualification (if applicable) of the rating of any
Class of Certificates or Companion Loan Securities.
(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.26 the
Master Servicer will disregard any objection of the Directing Certificateholder
or any Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved), as applicable,
that would result in a Prohibited Action.
Section 3.27 Application of Default Charges.
(a) Subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement,
any and all Default Charges that are actually received by or on behalf of the
Trust with respect to the Mortgage Pool, shall be applied for the following
purposes and in the following order, in each case to the extent of the remaining
portion of such Default Charges:
first, to pay to the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, in that order, any Advance Interest due and owing to such party
on outstanding Advances made thereby with respect to any Mortgage Loan or
REO Loan in the Mortgage Pool;
second, to reimburse the Trust for any Advance Interest paid to the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer since the Closing
Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan in the Mortgage Pool
during the 12-month period preceding the receipt of such Default Charges,
which Advance Interest was paid from a source other than Default Charges
received on the Mortgage Pool (provided, however, if the Special Servicer
is able to determine that such Default Charges are related to any
Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan in respect of which Advance Interest
was paid to the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer prior
to such 12-month period from a source other than Default Charges received
on the Mortgage Pool, then the Master Servicer shall conclusively rely on
such determination and shall apply such Default Charges to reimburse the
Trust for such Advance Interest);
third, to pay the Special Servicer for any Servicing Advances made
for the cost of an inspection made on a Specially Serviced Loan;
fourth, to reimburse the Trust for any other Additional Trust Fund
Expenses incurred with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan in the
Mortgage Pool during the 12-month period prior to the receipt of such
Default Charges, which Additional Trust Fund Expenses were previously paid
from a source other than Default Charges received on the Mortgage Pool
(provided, however, if the Special Servicer is able to determine that such
Default Charges are related to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan in
respect of which any Additional Trust Fund Expense was paid to the Trustee
prior to such 12-month period from a source other than Default Charges
received on the Mortgage Pool, then the Master Servicer shall conclusively
rely on such determination and shall apply such Default Charges to
reimburse the Trust for such Additional Trust Fund Expense);
fifth, to pay the Master Servicer for Servicing Advances made for
the cost of an inspection made on a Loan other than a Specially Serviced
Loan; and
sixth, to pay any remaining portion of such Default Charges as
Additional Master Servicing Compensation to the Master Servicer, if such
Default Charges were collected with respect to a Performing Loan, and
otherwise to pay any remaining portion of such Default Charges as
Additional Special Servicing Compensation to the Special Servicer.
(b) Default Charges applied to reimburse the Trust pursuant to
either clause second or clause fourth of Section 3.27(a) is intended to be
available for distribution on the Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(b),
subject to application pursuant to Section 3.05(a), Section 3.05(b), Section
3.05(c) or Section 3.05(f) for any items payable out of general collections on
the Mortgage Pool. Default Charges applied to reimburse the Trust pursuant to
either clause second or clause fourth of Section 3.27(a) shall be deemed to
offset payments of Advance Interest or other Additional Trust Fund Expenses
(depending on which clause is applicable) in the chronological order in which
they were made or incurred (whereupon such Advance Interest or other Additional
Trust Fund Expenses (depending on which clause is applicable) shall thereafter
be deemed to have been paid out of Default Charges).
(c) Subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement,
any and all Default Charges that are actually collected with respect to any
Companion Loan related to a Whole Loan or any successor REO Loan with respect
thereto during any Collection Period (as allocable thereto pursuant to the
related loan agreement), shall be applied for the following purposes and in the
following order, in each case to the extent of the remaining portion of such
Default Charges and net of any portion of such Default Charges, if any, that are
required to be paid to the related Companion Loan Holder under any Intercreditor
Agreement and/or this Agreement:
first, to pay to the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, in that order, any interest due and owing to such party on any
outstanding Advances made thereby, with respect to any Loan or REO Loan in such
Whole Loan or the related REO Mortgaged Property and reimbursed in the related
Collection Period (to be applied with respect to any particular party in such
manner that the interest that accrued first and has been outstanding the longest
shall be paid first); and
second, to pay any remaining portion of such Default Charges as
Additional Master Servicing Compensation to the Master Servicer, to the extent
received, if they were accrued with respect to such Companion Loan during a
period that it was a Performing Loan, or as Additional Special Servicing
Compensation to the Special Servicer, to the extent received, if they were
accrued with respect to such Companion Loan during a period that it was a
Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan, in each case pursuant to Section 3.11.
Section 3.28 Matters Regarding the Whole Loans.
(a) No Companion Loan Holder will have any liability to the Trust or
the Certificateholders for 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, such Companion Loan Holder will not be protected
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason
of negligent disregard of duties.
(b) Each Companion Loan Holder shall be entitled to receive a copy
of any report required to be delivered (upon request or otherwise) to the
Trustee with respect to the related Whole Loan or any related REO Property by
any other party hereto. The related Companion Loan Holder shall also be entitled
to receive a copy of any document, certificate, instrument, notice or
correspondence required to be delivered (upon request or otherwise) by the
Trustee or Master Servicer with respect to the related Whole Loan or any related
REO Property to any other party hereto. In addition, the related Companion Loan
Holder, or a servicer acting on its behalf, shall be entitled to request
information from the Master Servicer with respect to the related Whole Loan to
permit customary reporting with respect to a securitization relating to the
related Companion Loan; provided, however, the information provider shall not be
required to deliver information relating to Loans other than the related Whole
Loan or information of a scope or nature that is materially different from that
which is required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under this Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall be permitted to require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing such information.
(c) If, pursuant to Section 2.03, Section 3.18 or Section 9.01, the
Mortgage Loan included in a Whole Loan is purchased or repurchased from the
Trust Fund, the purchaser thereof shall be bound by the terms of the related
Intercreditor Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the
holder of the related Note under the related Intercreditor Agreement. All
portions of the related Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such
Mortgage Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or
appropriate to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan in its capacity as the holder
of the related Note (as a result of such purchase or repurchase), under the
related Intercreditor Agreement in the manner contemplated under such agreement,
which such purchaser shall be deemed to acknowledge and thereafter such Mortgage
File shall be held by such purchaser or a custodian appointed thereby for the
benefit of each Note holder (as their interests appear under the related
Intercreditor Agreement). If the related Servicing File is not already in the
possession of such purchaser or custodian (as the case may be), it shall be
delivered to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under
the separate servicing agreement for the related Whole Loan.
Section 3.29 Certain Powers of the Controlling Holders and Certain
Intercreditor Matters.
(a) No Controlling Holder shall owe any fiduciary duty to the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Certificateholder with
respect to the related Whole Loan. The related Controlling Holder will not have
any liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining
from the taking of any action or the giving or withholding of any consent,
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment. By its acceptance of a
Certificate, each Certificateholder confirms its understanding that a
Controlling Holder may take or refrain from taking actions that favor the
interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates over other Classes of the
Certificates, and that a Controlling Holder may have special relationships and
interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the
Certificates, that a Controlling Holder does not have any duties to the Holders
of any Class of Certificates, and that the related Controlling Holder shall have
no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take
any action whatsoever against a Controlling Holder or any director, officer,
employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with
respect to each A/B Whole Loan, the related Controlling Holder, in lieu of the
Directing Certificateholder, shall be entitled to exercise all rights of the
Directing Certificateholder under this Agreement with respect to the related A/B
Whole Loan, as applicable, and any references to the Directing Certificateholder
in this Agreement relating to actions permitted to be taken only with the
consent of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to such A/B Whole Loan
shall be deemed to be references to the related Controlling Holder; provided,
however, (i) the Directing Certificateholder shall also have the right to
receive all reports and notices under this Agreement (which shall not be an
expense of the related Controlling Holder), (ii) the Directing Certificateholder
shall also have the right to consult with the Special Servicer (on a non-binding
basis) regarding such A/B Whole Loan and (iii) the Directing Certificateholder
(and not the related Controlling Holder) shall be entitled to exercise the
Purchase Option set forth in Section 3.18(c) with respect to such A/B Whole
Loan. In addition, the applicable Controlling Holder shall have any rights,
whether or not additional, that are specified in the related Intercreditor
Agreement.
In addition, if a Control Appraisal Period exists with respect to an
A/B Whole Loan, then the related Controlling Holder shall be the Directing
Certificateholder who shall be authorized to exercise any of its approval and
consent rights and powers provided for in Section 3.23, this Section 3.29 or
elsewhere in this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement with respect
to such A/B Whole Loan, subject to the provisions of the related Intercreditor
Agreement; provided, however, the related Note B Holder shall nevertheless
retain the right to receive distributions and (if the Note B Holder is not the
related Borrower or an affiliate thereof) notices and reports under this
Agreement.
(c) Within five Business Days of receipt of written notice that a
new related Controlling Holder has been selected, the Trustee shall deliver
notice to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, of such related
Controlling Holder's identity.
(d) With respect to each A/B Whole Loan, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the related Controlling Holder shall have the
right to cure monetary and non-monetary defaults by the related Borrower as
provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 3.30 Litigation Control.
The Special Servicer, with respect to litigation involving Specially
Serviced Loans, and the Master Servicer, with respect to litigation involving
Performing Loans, and where the applicable servicer contemplates availing itself
or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund of indemnification as provided for
under this Agreement, such servicer shall, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, direct, manage, prosecute, defend and/or settle any and all
claims and litigation ("Litigation Control") relating to (a) the enforcement of
the obligations of a Borrower under the related loan documents and (b) any
action brought against the Trust Fund or any party to this Agreement with
respect to any Mortgage Loan. Such Litigation Control shall be carried out in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
Servicing Standard. Upon becoming aware of or being named in any such claims or
litigation, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Directing
Certificateholder and the Trustee of such claims or litigation. In addition, the
Master Servicer shall prepare and submit a monthly status report regarding any
Litigation Control matter to the Directing Certificateholder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Special Servicer and the
Master Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with and keep the Directing
Certificateholder and the Trustee advised of any material development including
without limitation (i) any material decision concerning Litigation Control and
the implementation thereof and (ii) any decision to agree to or propose any
terms of settlement, and shall submit any such development or decision to the
Directing Certificateholder for its approval or consent. Subject to the second
to last paragraph of this Section 3.30, the Special Servicer or the Master
Servicer shall not take any action implementing any such material development or
decision described in the preceding sentence unless and until it has notified in
writing the Directing Certificateholder and the Directing Certificateholder has
not objected in writing within five Business Days of having been notified
thereof and having been provided with all information that the Directing
Certificateholder has reasonably requested with respect thereto promptly
following its receipt of the subject notice (it being understood and agreed that
if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer or the
Master Servicer, as applicable, within such five Business Day period, then the
Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have approved the taking of such
action); provided that, in the event that the Special Servicer or the Master
Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action is necessary to
protect the interests of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole), the
Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may take such action
without waiting for the response of the Directing Certificateholder; provided
that the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, has reasonably
determined that the Directing Certificateholder has received notice of such
action in writing.
With respect to any Litigation Control otherwise required to be
exercised hereunder by the Master Servicer relating to a Mortgage Loan that has
either: (i) been satisfied or paid in full or (ii) as to which a Final Recovery
Determination has been made, after receiving the required notice from the Master
Servicer set forth above that it became aware of or was named in any such claims
or litigation, the Directing Certificateholder may direct in writing that the
such Litigation Control nevertheless be exercised by the Special Servicer;
provided that: (a) the Special Servicer has determined, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, that its actions with respect to such obligations (including
without limitation settlements) (i) would be in the best interests of the
Certificateholders and, in the case of any Whole Loan, the related Companion
Loan Holder (as a collective whole), (ii) do not require any admission of
liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Master Servicer (or Xxxxx Fargo Bank,
N.A. as Sub-Servicer, if applicable)and (iii) are fully indemnifiable (including
without limitation on behalf of the Master Servicer) under Section 6.03 and
payable by the Trust; (b) all costs and fees incurred in defending and settling
the claims (including without limitation on behalf of the Master Servicer) are
indemnified expenses under Section 6.03; and (c) with respect to a settlement,
the Special Servicer has reasonably consulted with the Master Servicer prior to
such settlement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advice, direction or objection of
the Directing Certificateholder shall (i) require or cause the Special Servicer
or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan
or any related intercreditor, co-lender or similar agreement, applicable law or
any provision of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer's and the Master
Servicer's obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to
maintain the REMIC status of each of REMIC I and REMIC II, (ii) result in an
Adverse REMIC Event with respect to either of REMIC I or REMIC II or an Adverse
Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust, (iii) expose the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Seller, the
Trust Fund, the Trustee or their Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders,
partners, members, managers, employees or agents to any claim, suit, or
liability for which this Agreement does not provide indemnification to such
party or expose any such party to prosecution for a criminal offense, or (iv)
materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer's or the Master Servicer's
responsibilities under this Agreement; and neither the Special Servicer nor the
Master Servicer will follow any such advice, direction or objection if given by
the Directing Certificateholder or initiate any such actions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) in the event that any action,
suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee in its individual capacity, or
in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee in its individual
capacity, the Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, may retain counsel and appear in any such
proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests
(but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (b)
in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an
action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the
obligations of a Mortgagor under the related loan documents or otherwise
relating to a Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, neither the Master Servicer
nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the
Trustee, (i) initiate any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of
the Trustee, whether in such capacity or individually, (ii) engage counsel to
represent the Trustee, or (iii) prepare, execute or deliver any government
filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other
similar action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee
to be registered to do business in any state; and (c) in the event that any
court finds that the Trustee is a necessary party in respect of any action,
suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any
Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in
any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its
interest, whether as Trustee or individually (but not to otherwise direct,
manage or prosecute such litigation or claim).
Section 3.31 Class A-MFL Swap Contract.
(a) On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee, not in its
individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Trustee, on behalf of the
Class A-MFL Grantor Trust, shall enter into the Class A-MFL Swap Contract and
related agreements with the Class A-MFL Swap Counterparty.
(b) Not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Business
Day prior to each Distribution Date, based on the CMSA Loan Periodic Update File
for the related Collection Period provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 4.01(b) and subject to the priorities set forth in Sections 4.01(a),
4.01(b) and 4.01(l), the Trustee shall (i) calculate the Class A-MFL Net Swap
Payment, if any, and the Class A-MFL Floating Swap Payment, if any, in
accordance with the terms of the Class A-MFL Swap Contract and this Agreement,
and (ii) notify the Class A-MFL Swap Counterparty of any Class A-MFL Floating
Swap Payment or Class A-MFL Net Swap Payment. In the event the Trustee fails to
receive any Class A-MFL Floating Swap Payment payable by the Class A-MFL Swap
Counterparty on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall provide the Class A-MFL Swap Counterparty with notice of such
non-payment no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such date. On the
related Distribution Date following such notice of non-payment, if the Trustee
fails to receive the Class A-MFL Floating Swap Payment by 11:00 a.m. New York
City time on such Distribution Date, a Class A-MFL Swap Default and a Class
A-MFL Distribution Conversion shall occur on such Distribution Date.
(c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall remit the Class
A-MFL Net Swap Payment, if any, to the Class A-MFL Swap Counterparty from the
Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account; provided that upon and during the
continuation of a Class A-MFL Distribution Conversion, the Trustee shall not
make such payments to the Class A-MFL Swap Counterparty. Promptly upon receipt
of any payment or other receipt in respect of the Class A-MFL Swap Contract, the
Trustee shall deposit the same into the Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account.
(d) The Trustee shall at all times enforce the Trust's rights under
the Class A-MFL Swap Contract. In the event of a Class A-MFL Swap Default, the
Trustee shall promptly provide written notice to the Holders of the Class A-MFL
Certificates and shall be required to take such actions (following the
expiration of any applicable grace period specified in the Class A-MFL Swap
Contract), unless otherwise directed in writing by the holders of 25% by
Certificate Balance of the Class A-MFL Certificates, to enforce the rights of
the Trust under the Class A-MFL Swap Contract as may be permitted by the terms
thereof, including termination thereof, and use Class A-MFL Swap Termination
Fees, if any, received from the Class A-MFL Swap Counterparty to enter into a
replacement interest rate swap contract on substantially identical terms or on
such other terms reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Depositor, with a
replacement swap counterparty that would not cause a Rating Agency Trigger Event
and satisfies the requirements of the Class A-MFL Swap Contract, subject, in
each case, to written confirmation by the Rating Agencies that such action will
not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the then current
ratings of the Certificates. If the costs attributable to entering into a
replacement interest rate swap contract would exceed the amount of any Swap
Termination Fees, a replacement interest rate swap contract shall not be entered
into and any such proceeds will instead be distributed, pro rata, to the holders
of the Class A-MFL Certificates on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date
as part of the Class A-MFL Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution
Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the Trustee
shall be under no obligation to take any action to enforce the rights of the
Trust Fund under the Class A-MFL Swap Agreement unless it is assured, in its
sole discretion, that the costs and expenses of such action(s) will be
reimbursed by the Holders of the Class A-MFL Certificates or another party
(other than the Trust).
Any Class A-MFL Distribution Conversion shall become permanent
following the determination by the Trustee not to enter into a replacement
interest rate swap contract and distribution of any Class A-MFL Swap Termination
Fees to the Holders of the Class A-MFL Certificates. Any such Swap Default (or
termination of the Class A-MFL Swap Contract) and the resulting Class A-MFL
Distribution Conversion shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Event of
Default under this Agreement.
Upon any change (or notification to the Trustee that such change is
imminent) in the payment terms on the Class A-MFL Certificates, including as a
result of a Class A-MFL Distribution Conversion, termination of a Class A-MFL
Distribution Conversion, a Swap Default or the cure of a Swap Default, the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor of the change in payment terms.
(e) In the event that the Class A-MFL Swap Contract is terminated
and no replacement Class A-MFL Swap Contract is entered into, the Trustee shall
provide notice of such termination to the Class A-MFL Certificateholders, which
notice shall include: "The Class A-MFL Swap Contract with respect to the Class
A-MFL Certificates is terminated as of [date]. Certificateholders and beneficial
owners that are Plans are advised that the Exemption will no longer apply to the
Class A-MFL Certificates, effective 60 days after the receipt of this notice.
"Exemption", as used in this notice, shall mean, collectively, the individual
prohibited transaction exemptions granted by the U.S. Department of Labor to
NationsBank Corporation (predecessor in interest to Bank of America
Corporation), PTE 93-31, as amended by XXX 00-00, XXX 0000-00 and PTE 2002-41.
All other capitalized terms used in this notice shall have the meaning assigned
to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement."
(f) The Trustee's obligation to pay to the Class A-MFL Swap
Counterparty any funds under the Class A-MFL Swap Contract shall be limited to

Distribution Account shall be withdrawn or deemed to be withdrawn (to the extent
of the Available Distribution Amount, the "REMIC I Distribution Amount") in the
case of all Classes of REMIC I Regular Interests and distributed or deemed to be
distributed on the REMIC I Regular Interests as set forth in Section 4.01(a)(ii)
and distributed on the Class R-I Certificates as set forth in Section

(ii) Principal and interest amounts, reimbursement of Realized
Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses and timing of distributions on
each REMIC I Regular Interest will be identical to such amounts,
reimbursements and timing on the related Corresponding Certificates
(including, for this purpose, the Class A-MFL Regular Interest and
excluding the Class A-MFL Certificates); except that, solely for this
purpose, all calculations of interest with respect to the Corresponding
REMIC I Regular Interests shall be made as though the Class A-1

though the Class XW Notional Amount were zero at all times and such that
the amounts and timing of interest distributions on each Corresponding
REMIC I Regular Interest represent the aggregate of the corresponding
amounts on each Class of Corresponding Certificates and its related
Component of the Class XW Certificates; provided that (A) interest shall
be deemed distributed on such REMIC I Regular Interest only in the same
priority and to the extent actually distributable on such related Class of
Corresponding Certificates or related Component and (B) interest
distributable on the Class XW Certificates shall be distributable pro rata
among the related Components.

Amount and Prepayment Premiums allocable to the REMIC I Regular Interests
pursuant to Section 4.01(c)(iii) shall be distributed to the Holders of
the Class R-I Certificates (but only to the extent of the Available

immediately thereafter, shall make distributions thereof from the REMIC II
Distribution Account to the REMIC II Regular Certificates (other than the Class
A-MFL Certificates) and the Class A-MFL Regular Interest in the order of

Holders of each other Class of Class A Certificates and the Class A-MFL Regular
Interest, if any, that pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 4.01(b) has an
earlier right to payment with respect thereto. References to "remaining

Certificates and the Class A-MFL Regular Interest that has a higher Payment

All distributions of interest made in respect of the Class XW
Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be
deemed to have been made in respect of all the Components of such Class, pro
rata in accordance with the respective amounts of interest that would be payable
on such Components on such Distribution Date based on the Class XW Strip Rate of
such Component multiplied by its Component Notional Amount, less an allocable
portion of any Prepayment Interest Shortfall, together with any amounts thereof
remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates.
(c) (i) On each Distribution Date, Prepayment Premiums collected
during the related Collection Period with respect to the Group 1 Mortgage Loans
will be distributed by the Trustee as follows: (a) prior to the Distribution
Date on which the Certificate Balance of the Class A-AB Certificates is reduced
to zero, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-AB Certificates in
an amount equal to the product of: (i) a fraction, not greater than one, whose
numerator is the Certificate Balance of such Class, and whose denominator is the
sum of the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2
Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates and Class A-AB Certificates (each
Certificate Balance referenced in clause (i) to be such balance prior to giving
effect to any distributions of principal on such Distribution Date), (ii) the
Base Interest Fraction for the related principal payment on such Class of
Certificates and (iii) the amount of the Prepayment Premium collected on such
principal prepayment during the related Prepayment Period; and (b) on or after
the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Balance of the Class A-AB
Certificates is reduced to zero, to the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2
Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-AB Certificates, Class A-4
Certificates, Class A-MFX Certificates, Class A-MFL Regular Interest, Class A-J

Certificates and Class Q Certificates on such Distribution Date, (ii) the Base
Interest Fraction for the related principal payment on such Class of
Certificates and (iii) the amount of Prepayment Premiums collected on such
principal prepayment during the related Prepayment Period. Any Prepayment
Premiums collected during the related Prepayment Period remaining after such
distributions will be distributed to the holders of the Class XW Certificates.
No Prepayment Premiums in respect of Mortgage Loans included in Loan Group 1
will be distributed to holders of any other Class of Certificate.
(ii) On each Distribution Date, Prepayment Premiums collected during
the related Collection Period with respect to the Group 2 Mortgage Loans
will be distributed by the Trustee to the Class A-1A Certificates in an
amount equal to the product of (a) a fraction, not greater than one, whose
numerator is the amount of principal distributed to such Class on such
Distribution Date and whose denominator is the total amount of principal
payments received in respect of such Distribution Date for all Mortgage
Loans included in Loan Group 2 on such Distribution Date, (b) the Base
Interest Fraction for the related principal prepayment and such Class of
Certificates and (c) the amount of Prepayment Premiums collected on such
principal prepayment during the related Prepayment Period. However, the
amount of Prepayment Premiums so distributed to the Class A-1A
Certificates in accordance with the preceding sentence will not exceed the
amount of Prepayment Premiums collected on the Mortgage Loan in Loan Group
2 during such Prepayment Period. Any Prepayment Premiums collected during
the related Prepayment Period remaining after such distributions will be
distributed to the holders of the Class XW Certificates. No Prepayment
Premiums in respect of Mortgage Loans included in Loan Group 2 will be
distributed to holders of any other Class of Certificates. No Prepayment
Premiums will be distributed to the holders of the Class K Certificates,
Class L Certificates, Class M Certificates, Class N Certificates, Class O
Certificates, Class P Certificates, Class Q Certificates, Class V
Certificates, Class R-I Certificates or Class R-II Certificates. Instead,
after the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2
Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-AB Certificates, Class A-4
Certificates, Class A-MFX Certificates, Class A-MFL Regular Interest,
Class A-J Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates, Class
D Certificates, Class E Certificates, Class F Certificates, Class G
Certificates, Class H Certificates and Class J Certificates have been
reduced to zero, all Prepayment Premiums with respect to the Mortgage
Loans will be distributed to the holders of the Class XW Certificates.
Prepayment Premiums will be distributed on any Distribution Date only to
the extent they are received in respect of the Mortgage Loans in the
related Prepayment Period.
(iii) All distributions of Prepayment Premiums made in respect of
the respective Classes of REMIC II Regular Certificates (other than the
Class A-MFL Certificates) and the Class A-MFL Regular Interest on each
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(c)(i) shall first be deemed to
be distributed from REMIC I to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC I Regular
Interests, pro rata based upon the amount of principal distributed in
respect of each Class of REMIC I Regular Interest for such Distribution
Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ii).
(d) All distributions made with respect to each Class on each
Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates
in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as
otherwise provided below, all such distributions with respect to each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders
of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record
Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided
the Trustee with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days
prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form
of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or
otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Certificateholder as it appears
in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate
(determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized
Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to such Certificate)
will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution. Any distribution
that is to be made with respect to a Certificate in reimbursement of a Realized
Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated thereto, which
reimbursement is to occur after the date on which such Certificate is
surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence, will be made by check
mailed to the address of the Certificateholder that surrendered such Certificate
as such address last appeared in the Certificate Register or to any other
address of which the Trustee was subsequently notified in writing.
(e) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall
be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or the REMIC Administrator shall have any responsibility therefor except as
otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.
(f) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions
from the proceeds of the Trust Fund in respect of their Certificates, and all
rights and interests of the Certificateholders in and to such distributions,
shall be as set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of
Certificates nor any party hereto shall in any way be responsible or liable to
the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly
previously distributed on the Certificates. Distributions in reimbursement of
Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously allocated to a
Class of Certificates shall not constitute distributions of principal and shall
not result in a reduction of the related Class Principal Balance.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the
Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of
Certificates (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of
any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to such
Class of Certificates) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall, as soon as practicable in the month in which such Distribution Date
occurs, mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates as of the date of
mailing a notice to the effect that:
(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to
such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the Corporate
Trust Office or such other location therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after
such Distribution Date.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates
of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or
Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held
uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate
non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been
given pursuant to this Section 4.01(g) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Trustee, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the
remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their
Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding
such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the
first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering
Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder by the
Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section
4.01(g). If all of the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation by the second anniversary of the delivery of the second notice, the
Trustee shall distribute to the Class R-II Certificateholders all unclaimed
funds and other assets that remain subject hereto.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments made or received under the Class A-MFL Swap Contract and payments to
Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Trustee
reasonably believes are applicable under the Code taking into account any
applicable exemptions from, or reductions in, withholding upon receipt of
appropriate IRS forms and documentation. The consent of Certificateholders shall
not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trustee does withhold any
amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to
any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee
shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholders. Such amounts
shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Certificateholders for all
purposes of this Agreement.
(i) On each Distribution Date, any Excess Interest received during
the related Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be
withdrawn by the Trustee from the Excess Interest Distribution Account and
distributed by the Trustee to the Holders of the Class V Certificates.
(j) On the final Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master
Servicer shall withdraw from the Certificate Account and deliver to the REMIC
Administrator who shall distribute to the Holders of the Residual Certificates,
any Loss of Value Payments transferred from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to
the Certificate Account on the immediately preceding Master Servicer Remittance
Date in accordance with Section 3.05(a), to the extent not otherwise included in
the Available Distribution Amount for the final Distribution Date.
(k) On each Distribution Date, to the extent of the Class A-MFL
Available Funds for such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make distributions
from the Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account in the following order of priority,
satisfying in full, to the extent required and possible, each priority before
making any distribution with respect to any succeeding priority:
(A) first, to the Holders of the Class A-MFL Certificates in
respect of interest, up to an amount equal to the Class A-MFL
Interest Distribution Amount, for such Distribution Date;
(B) second, to the Holders of the Class A-MFL Certificates in
reduction of the Certificate Balances thereof, an amount equal to
the Class A-MFL Principal Distribution Amount until the outstanding
Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
(C) third, to the Holders of the Class A-MFL Certificates
until all Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses
previously allocated to the Class A-MFL Certificates (as a result of
the allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses
to the Class A-MFL Regular Interest) but not previously reimbursed,
have been reimbursed in full; and
(D) fourth, to pay termination payments, if any, to the A-MFL
Swap Counterparty; and
(E) fifth, any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class
A-MFL Certificates.
(l) So long as a Class A-MFL Distribution Conversion is not in
effect, any Prepayment Premiums paid on the Class A-MFL Regular Interest shall
be payable to the Class A-MFL Swap Counterparty pursuant to the terms of the
Class A-MFL Swap Contract on a net basis as part of the Class A-MFL Net Swap
Payment specified in Section 3.31. On each Distribution Date for which a Class
A-MFL Distribution Conversion is in effect, any Prepayment Premium paid on the
Class A-MFL Regular Interest shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class
A-MFL Certificates. Any termination payments due to the Class A-MFL Swap
Counterparty under the Class A-MFL Swap Contract shall be payable solely from
(i) amounts, if any, remaining in the Class A-MFL Floating Rate Account after
all other amounts have been paid to the Class A-MFL Regular Interest (including
all principal amounts outstanding) and to the Class A-MFL Certificates pursuant
to Section 4.01 and (ii) to the extent of any payment made by a replacement swap
counterparty to the Trust Fund in consideration for entering into such
replacement swap contract, if any (less any costs and expenses incurred by the
Trust Fund in connection with entering into such replacement swap contract).
(m) If, in connection with any Distribution Date, the Trustee has
reported the amount of an anticipated distribution to the Depository based on a
report received from the Master Servicer, and the final report from the Master
Servicer changes the initial amounts forwarded by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee or if there is Class A-MFL Swap Default, the Trustee shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Depository to make a revised
distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. The Trustee shall not
be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay (or claim by the
Depository resulting therefrom) in the making of such distribution to the
Certificateholders and shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund
for any reasonable losses, costs or expenses resulting therefrom.

(b) By 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day
following each Determination Date (or with respect to the CMSA Loan Periodic
Update File, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day
following each Determination Date), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, in a computer-readable medium downloadable by the Trustee, each of the
files and reports comprising the CMSA Investor Reporting Package (other than the
CMSA Bond Level File and the CMSA Collateral Summary File, which are prepared by
the Trustee), each reflecting information as of the close of business on such
Determination Date, in a mutually agreeable electronic format. The CMSA Loan
Periodic Update File contained in the CMSA Investor Reporting Package and any
written information supplemental thereto shall include such information with
respect to the Mortgage Loans that is reasonably required by the Trustee for
purposes of making the calculations and preparing the reports for which the
Trustee is responsible pursuant to Section 4.01, this Section 4.02, Section 4.04
or any other section of this Agreement, as set forth in reasonable written
specifications or guidelines issued by the Trustee from time to time. Such
information may be delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee by telecopy
or in such electronic or other form as may be reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer.
The Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event, as
may be reasonably required by the Master Servicer) provide the Master Servicer
with such information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans
and REO Properties as may be necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each
report and any supplemental information to be provided by the Master Servicer to
the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be
disclosed pursuant to Section 4.02(a) or this Section 4.02(b) shall not
constitute a breach of Section 4.02(a) or of this Section 4.02(b) to the extent
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in
the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a loan
document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Loans or the
Mortgaged Properties, would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege
on behalf of the Trust or would otherwise materially harm the Trust Fund. The
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by
it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without
suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).
(c) Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first
Business Day following each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall
prepare and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer, the
following reports (or data fields required for the Master Servicer to produce
such reports) with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans and any REO
Properties, providing the required information as of such Determination Date:
(i) a CMSA Property File; and (ii) a CMSA Special Servicer Loan File. In
addition, the Special Servicer shall from time to time provide the Master
Servicer with such information in the Special Servicer's possession regarding
the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as may be requested by the
Master Servicer and is reasonably necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare
each report and any supplemental information required to be provided by the
Master Servicer to the Trustee.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure of
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise
required to be disclosed by this Section 4.02 shall not constitute a breach of
this Section 4.02 to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer so fails
because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any
provision of a loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect
to the Loans or Mortgaged Properties or would constitute a waiver of the
attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust. The Master Servicer and
Special Servicer may disclose any such information or any additional information
to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent with applicable law, the
related loan documents and the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it
deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on
the part of any other party hereto).
(e) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to
deliver any statement, report or information under any provision of this
Agreement (other than reports to be delivered to the Trustee, which shall be
delivered directly to the Trustee in a mutually agreeable electronic format),
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may satisfy
such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such statement,
report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or information in a
commonly used electronic format or (z) making such statement, report or
information available on the Master Servicer's internet website, unless this
Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery.
Section 4.03 P&I Advances.
(a) On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer
shall in the case of all Mortgage Loans other than a Mortgage Loan included in a
Whole Loan, either (i) deposit into the Distribution Account from its own funds
an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in
respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the
Certificate Account for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent
months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances, or (iii) make
P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the
total amount of P&I Advances to be made; provided that if Late Collections of
any of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which it is to
make P&I Advances on any Master Servicer Remittance Date are then on deposit in
the Certificate Account, the Master Servicer shall use such Late Collections
(net of any Master Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees payable
therefrom) to make such P&I Advances. With respect to each Whole Loan, on each
Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) deposit
into the related Whole Loan Custodial Account from its own funds an amount equal
to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the
related Distribution Date on the Mortgage Loan included in such Whole Loan, (ii)
subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, apply amounts held
in the related Whole Loan Custodial Account for future distribution in
subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances, or
(iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made; provided that if Late
Collections of any of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of
which it is to make P&I Advances on any Master Servicer Remittance Date are then
on deposit in the related Whole Loan Custodial Account, the Master Servicer
shall use such Late Collections (net of any Master Servicing Fees, Liquidation
Fees and Workout Fees payable therefrom and any portion thereof required to be
paid to the related Companion Loan Holder in the case of a Whole Loan under the
related Intercreditor Agreement) to make such P&I Advances. Any amounts held in
the Certificate Account or if a Whole Loan is involved, the related Whole Loan
Custodial Account, for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances
(other than the Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest
contemplated by the proviso to the preceding sentence) shall be appropriately
reflected in the Master Servicer's records and replaced by the Master Servicer
by deposit into the Certificate Account or, if a Whole Loan is involved, the
related Whole Loan Custodial Account, on or before the next succeeding
Determination Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of
Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which
such P&I Advances were made). If, as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any
Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall not have made any P&I
Advance required to be made on such date pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) (and
shall not have delivered to the Trustee the requisite Officer's Certificate and
documentation related to a determination of nonrecoverability of a P&I Advance),
then the Trustee shall provide notice of such failure to a Servicing Officer of
the Master Servicer by facsimile transmission sent to telecopy no. (213)
345-7240 (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee in writing) and by telephone at telephone no. (000) 000-0000 (or such
alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in writing) as
soon as possible, but in any event before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on such
Master Servicer Remittance Date. If, after such notice, the Trustee does not
receive the full amount of such P&I Advances by the close of business (New York
City time) on such Master Servicer Remittance Date, then (i) unless the Trustee
determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance if made or
the Trustee shall make, by 11:00 a.m. on the Distribution Date or in any event
by such time as shall be required to make the required distribution on such
Distribution Date, the portion of such P&I Advances that was required to be, but
was not, made by the Master Servicer on such Master Servicer Remittance Date and
(ii) such failure shall constitute an Event of Default on the part of the Master
Servicer. The making of an Advance by a fiscal agent appointed by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.06 shall not be an Event of Default with respect to the
Trustee. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee
shall be required to make a P&I Advance on any Companion Loan.
(b) The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made in respect of
the Loans (including, without limitation, Balloon Loans that are included in the
Trust Fund delinquent as to their respective Balloon Payments) and any REO Loans
for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to subsection (c) of this Section
4.03, the aggregate of all Monthly Payments (other than Balloon Payments) and
any Assumed Monthly Payments, in each case net of related Master Servicing Fees
that were due or deemed due, as the case may be, in respect thereof on their
respective Due Dates during the related Collection Period and that were not paid
by or on behalf of the related Mortgagors or otherwise collected as of the close
of business on the Business Day before the Master Servicer Remittance Date;
provided that if an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to any
Required Appraisal Loan, then, in the event of subsequent delinquencies thereon,
the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Required Appraisal
Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein
acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such
P&I Advance) to equal the product of (i) the amount of the interest portion of
such P&I Advance for such Required Appraisal Loan for such Distribution Date
without regard to this proviso, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, expressed as a
percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of
such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of
the related Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, and the denominator of which is
equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan
immediately prior to such Distribution Date; provided, further, the Master
Servicer shall not advance Excess Interest with respect to ARD Loans or a
Prepayment Premium.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance
shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made,
constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. In addition, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans other than Mortgage Loans included in a Whole Loan,
Nonrecoverable P&I Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.05(a)
out of general collections on the Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Certificate
Account. With respect to a Mortgage Loan included in a Whole Loan,
Nonrecoverable P&I Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.05(f).
The determination by the Master Servicer or the Trustee that it has made a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would
constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, or any such determination made by the
Special Servicer, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered
promptly (and, in any event, in the case of a proposed P&I Advance by the Master
Servicer, no less than five Business Days prior to the related Master Servicer
Remittance Date) to the Trustee (or, if applicable, retained thereby), the
Depositor, the Rating Agencies, the Directing Certificateholder and the related
Companion Loan Holder and any Controlling Holder, as applicable (in the case of
a Whole Loan), setting forth the basis for such determination, together with
(such determination is prior to the liquidation of the related Loan or REO
Property) a copy of an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO
Property, as the case may be, which shall have been performed within the 12
months preceding such determination, and further accompanied by any other
information that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may have obtained
that supports such determination. The Trustee shall deliver such Officer's
Certificate as soon as practicable after its determination that such P&I Advance
would be nonrecoverable. If such an Appraisal shall not have been required and
performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer may,
subject to its reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will
demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain an Appraisal
for such purpose at the expense of the Trust out of general collections. The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that
may have been made by the Master Servicer with respect to a particular P&I
Advance, and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on
any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Special
Servicer with respect to a particular P&I Advance in the case of Specially
Serviced Loans.
(d) As and to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a) or Section
3.05(f) with respect to a Whole Loan or any portion thereof, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate
in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each P&I Advance made
thereby (out of its own funds), to the extent that such P&I Advance relates to a
Past Grace Period Loan when made, or remains outstanding when such Loan becomes
a Past Grace Period Loan, in which case such interest shall begin to accrue when
such Loan becomes a Past Grace Period Loan, for so long as such P&I Advance is
outstanding (or, in the case of Advance Interest payable to the Master Servicer,
if earlier, until the Late Collection of the delinquent principal and/or
interest in respect of which such P&I Advance was made has been received by the
Master Servicer). Such interest will be paid: first, out of any Default Charges
as set forth in Section 3.27; and second, at any time coinciding with or
following the reimbursement of such P&I Advance, out of general collections on
the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Certificate Account
or if a Whole Loan is involved, out of general collections on deposit in the
related Whole Loan Custodial Account. As and to the extent provided by Section
3.05(a) or Section 3.05(f) with respect to a Whole Loan, the Master Servicer
shall reimburse itself or the Trustee, as appropriate, for any P&I Advance made
thereby as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose are
deposited into the Certificate Account or, if a Whole Loan is involved are
deposited into the related Whole Loan Custodial Account, and in no event shall
interest accrue in accordance with this Section 4.03(d) on any P&I Advance as to
which the corresponding Late Collection had been received as of the related date
on which such P&I Advance was made. Interest accrued on any P&I Advance made
under this Section 4.03 with respect to: (A) a Whole Loan which is a Pari Passu
Whole Loan shall be payable (unless required to be paid to the related Companion
Loan Holder under any Intercreditor Agreement): (i) first, out of Default
Charges collected on or in respect of the related Whole Loan during the same
Collection Period in which such P&I Advance is reimbursed, (ii) second, to the
extent that the Default Charges described in the immediately preceding clause
(i) are insufficient, but only if such P&I Advance is being reimbursed at the
same time or if such P&I Advance has been previously reimbursed, out of any
other collections that were made on or in respect of such Whole Loan allocable
to the related Mortgage Loan, and (iii) third, solely with respect to such Whole
Loan, to the extent that Default Charges or other collections described in the
immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) are insufficient, but only if such
P&I Advance is being reimbursed at the same time or if such Advances has been
previously reimbursed, out of general collections on or in respect of the
Mortgage Loans, or (B) a Whole Loan which is an A/B Whole Loan shall be payable
(unless required to be paid to the related Companion Loan Holder under any
Intercreditor Agreement): (i) first, out of Default Charges collected on or in
respect of the related A/B Companion Loan, during the 12-month period in which
such Advance is reimbursed, (ii) second, out of Default Charges collected on or
in respect of the related Mortgage Loan, as applicable, during the same
Collection Period in which such P&I Advance is reimbursed, (iii) third, to the
extent that the Default Charges described in the immediately preceding clause
(i) and (ii) are insufficient, but only if such P&I Advance is being reimbursed
at the same time or if such P&I Advance has been previously reimbursed, out of
any other collections that were made on or in respect of such A/B Whole Loan,
and (iv) solely with respect to such A/B Whole Loan, to the extent that Default
Charges or other collections described in the immediately preceding clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) are insufficient, but only if such P&I Advance is being
reimbursed at the same time or if such Advances has been previously reimbursed,
out of general collections on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans.
(e) With regard to such P&I Advances, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Trustee shall account for that part of the P&I Advances
that is attributable to Past Grace Period Loans, and that part of the P&I
Advances that is attributable to Within Grace Period Loans.
(f) With respect to each Whole Loan with a Pari Passu Companion Loan
that will not be included in the Trust Fund, if (i) the Master Servicer or any
master servicer for a securitization relating to the Pari Passu Companion Loan
determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I
Advance or an outstanding P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable and (ii)
notice of such determination has been delivered by the Master Servicer or the
Master Servicer receives written notice of such determination by any other
master servicer for a securitization relating to the Pari Passu Companion Loan,
none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the other master servicers or any
other party to the related pooling and servicing agreement may make any
additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the Pari
Passu Companion Loan until the Master Servicer has consulted with the other
applicable master servicers and they agree that circumstances with respect to
the related Whole Loan have changed such that a proposed future P&I Advance
would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance
(g) None of the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall advance any
amount due to be paid by the Class A-MFL Swap Counterparty for distribution to
the Class A-MFL Certificates. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, if funds
allocated to payment of interest distributions on the Class A-MFL Regular
Interest are insufficient to make all required interest payments on the Class
A-MFL Regular Interest, the amount paid to the Class A-MFL Swap Counterparty
will be reduced and interest paid by the Class A-MFL Swap Counterparty under the
Class A-MFL Swap Contract will be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, by an
amount equal to the difference between the amount actually paid to the Class
A-MFL Swap Counterparty and the amount that would have been paid if the funds
allocated to payment of interest distributions on the Class A-MFL Regular
Interest had been sufficient to make all required interest payments on the Class
A-MFL Regular Interest.
Section 4.04 Allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund
Expenses.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall determine the
amount, if any, by which (i) the then aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of
the Sequential Pay Certificates and the Class A-MFL Regular Interest exceeds
(ii) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be
outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date (provided, however, for
purposes of this calculation, any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts paid
from principal collections on the Mortgage Pool shall for purposes of this
calculation be deemed to still be outstanding unless the related Unliquidated
Advance has been determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance on the related Loan
or a Final Determination has been made with respect to the related Loan or the
related Mortgage Loan or REO Property is otherwise liquidated or disposed). If
such excess does exist, then the Class Principal Balances of the Class Q
Certificates, the Class P Certificates, the Class O Certificates, the Class N
Certificates, the Class M Certificates, the Class L Certificates, the Class K
Certificates, the Class J Certificates, the Class H Certificates, the Class G
Certificates, the Class F Certificates, the Class E Certificates, the Class D
Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class A-J
Certificates, the Class A-MFX Certificates and the Class A-MFL Regular Interest
shall be reduced sequentially, in that order in each case, until such excess or
the related Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero (whichever occurs first).
If, after the foregoing reductions, the amount described in clause (i) of the
second preceding sentence still exceeds the amount described in clause (ii) of
the second preceding sentence, then the respective Class Principal Balances of
the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-AB, Class A-4 and Class A-1A
Certificates shall be reduced, pro rata in accordance with the relative sizes of
the then outstanding Class Principal Balances of such Classes of Certificates,
until such excess or each such Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero
(whichever occurs first). Such reductions in the Class Principal Balances of the
respective Classes of the Sequential Pay Certificates and the Class A-MFL
Regular Interest shall be deemed to be allocations of Realized Losses and
Additional Trust Fund Expenses, to the extent not covered by reductions in
distributions of interest pursuant to the allocations set forth in Section
4.01(b).
(b) With respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses or
Additional Trust Fund Expenses allocated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) with
respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the REMIC I Principal Balances of
the REMIC I Regular Interests as a write-off and shall be allocated among the
REMIC I Regular Interests in the same priority as the Class of Corresponding
Certificates.
Section 4.05 Interest Reserve Account.
The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Interest
Reserve Account in the Trustee's name for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Interest Reserve Account shall be established and maintained, at all times,
as an Eligible Account, which the Master Servicer may (but shall not be
obligated to) invest only in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section
3.06. Each of the Interest Deposit Amount and the Initial Interest Reserve
Deposit Amount shall be deposited in the Interest Reserve Account pursuant to
Section 2.01 and shall be distributed on the first Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 4.01. On each Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in February and
each Master Servicer Remittance Date in January of any year that is not a leap
year (unless, in either case, the related Distribution Date is the final
Distribution Date), the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Certificate
Account, in respect of each Mortgage Loan that accrues interest on an Actual/360
Basis, and deposit into the Interest Reserve Account, an amount equal to one
day's interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance
of each such Mortgage Loan or as of the Distribution Date in the month preceding
the month in which such Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs, to the extent a
Monthly Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so
deposited in any consecutive January (if applicable) and February, "Withheld
Amounts"). On the Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of each calendar year
(or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date),
the Master Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit into the REMIC I
Distribution Account all Withheld Amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve
Account with respect to Mortgage Loans.
Section 4.06 Excess Interest Distribution Account.
The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Excess Interest
Distribution Account in trust for the benefit of the Class V Certificateholders
whether or not such Certificates have an outstanding Class Principal Balance.
The Excess Interest Distribution Account shall be established and maintained at
all times as an Eligible Account, which the Trustee may (but shall not be
obligated to) invest only in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section
3.06. The Excess Interest Distribution Account may be a sub-account of the
Distribution Account. Prior to the applicable Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Excess Interest
Distribution Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest received during the
applicable Collection Period. Following the distribution of Excess Interest to
Class V Certificateholders on the first Distribution Date after which there are
no longer any Mortgage Loans outstanding which pursuant to their terms could pay
Excess Interest, the Trustee shall terminate the Excess Interest Distribution
Account.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms
annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through and including A-28; provided that any of
the Certificates may be issued with appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced
thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, as may be required to comply with any law or with rules or
regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities market in
which the Certificates are admitted to trading, or to conform to general usage.
The Certificates will be issuable in registered form only; provided, however, in
accordance with Section 5.03 beneficial ownership interests in the REMIC II
Regular Certificates shall initially be held and transferred through the
book-entry facilities of the Depository. The Class A-1 Certificates, the Class
A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates, the Class A-AB Certificates, the
Class A-4 Certificates, the Class A-1A Certificates, the Class A-MFX
Certificates, the Class A-MFL Certificates and the Class A-J Certificates will
be issuable in denominations corresponding to initial Certificate Principal
Balances as of the Closing Date of not less than $10,000 and any whole dollar
denomination in excess thereof; the Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F,
Class G, Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class O, Class P
and Class Q Certificates will be issuable in denominations corresponding to
initial Certificate Principal Balances as of the Closing Date of not less than
$100,000 and any whole dollar denomination in excess thereof; the Class XW
Certificates will be issuable in denominations corresponding to initial Notional
Balances as of the Closing Date of not less than $1,000,000 and any whole dollar

Certificates will be issuable only in denominations representing not less than
10% of the Percentage Interest. Each Class of Residual Certificates will be
issuable only in a denomination representing the entire Class. With respect to
any Certificate or any beneficial interest in a Certificate, the "Denomination"
thereof shall be (i) the amount (a) set forth on the face thereof, (b) set forth
on a schedule attached thereto or (c) in the case of any beneficial interest in
a Book-Entry Certificate, the interest of the related Certificate Owner in the
applicable Class of Certificates as reflected on the books and records of the
Depository or related Participants, as applicable, (ii) expressed in terms of
initial Certificate Principal Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable,
and (iii) be in an authorized denomination, as set forth above. The Book-Entry
Certificates will be issued as one or more certificates registered in the name
of a nominee designated by the Depository, and Certificate Owners will hold
interests in the Book-Entry Certificates through the book-entry facilities of
the Depository in the minimum Denominations and aggregate Denominations as set
forth in the above. No Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry Certificate of any
Class thereof will be entitled to receive a Definitive Certificate representing
its interest in such Class, except as provided in Section 5.03. Unless and until
Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Class of Certificates will
be maintained and transferred on the book-entry records of the Depository and
Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class
of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions
received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the
Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository's procedures and,
except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments,
notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will
refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its
nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related
registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in
accordance with the Depository's procedures.
(b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as trustee hereunder by an
authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the authorized officers of the Trustee shall be
entitled to all benefits under this Agreement, subject to the following
sentence, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, however, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication;
provided that the Certificates, issued on the Closing Date shall, in any event,
be dated the Closing Date.
(c) Any Definitive Certificates shall be printed, typewritten,
lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may
be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities
exchange on which any of the Certificates may be listed, or as may, consistently
herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as
evidenced by their execution thereof.
Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) At all times during the term of this Agreement, there shall be
maintained at the office of the Certificate Registrar a Certificate Register in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Certificate Registrar
(located as of the Closing Date at 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000,
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 60603) may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide
for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed (and
hereby agrees to act in accordance with the terms hereof) as Certificate
Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee may appoint, by a
written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer and the REMIC Administrator, any other bank or trust company to act as
Certificate Registrar under such conditions as the predecessor Certificate
Registrar may prescribe, provided that the Trustee shall not be relieved of any
of its duties or responsibilities hereunder as Certificate Registrar by reason
of such appointment. If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the
terms hereof, the successor trustee shall immediately succeed to its
predecessor's duties as Certificate Registrar. The Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the REMIC Administrator shall have the right
to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all
reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate
Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate Register. Upon
request, the Trustee shall promptly inform, or cause the Certificate Registrar
to inform, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the
identity of all Certificateholders of the Controlling Class.
If Certificateholders representing more than 25% of any Class of
Certificates (hereinafter referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the
Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate
with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication that
such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five
Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants
access during normal business hours to the most recent list of
Certificateholders held by the Trustee. If the Trustee is no longer the
Certificate Registrar and such a list is as of a date more than 90 days prior to
the date of receipt of such applicants' request, the Trustee shall promptly
request from the Certificate Registrar a current list as provided above, and
shall afford such applicants access to such list promptly upon receipt.
Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding such list, agrees
with the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that neither the Certificate
Registrar nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure
of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders
hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
(b) No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made
unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. If a transfer (other than one by the
Depositor to an Affiliate thereof or the initial transfer thereof) is to be made
in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable
state securities laws, then either: (i) the Certificate Registrar shall require
that the transferee deliver to the Certificate Registrar an investment
representation letter (the "Investment Representation Letter") substantially in
the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, which Investment Representation Letter
shall certify, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional
"accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of
Regulation D under the Securities Act (an "Institutional Accredited Investor")
or a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act (a "Qualified Institutional Buyer"), and the Certificate
Registrar may also require that the transferee deliver to the Certificate
Registrar an Opinion of Counsel if such transferee is not a Qualified
Institutional Buyer or (ii) if the certifications described in the preceding
clause (i) cannot be provided, (a) the Certificate Registrar shall require an
Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the
Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing
the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from registration or
qualification under the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and
other relevant laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trust Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor or the Trustee and (b) the
Certificate Registrar shall require the transferor to execute a certification in
form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar setting forth the
facts surrounding such transfer; provided, however, a transfer of a
Non-Registered Certificate of any such Class may be made to a trust if the
transferor provides to the Certificate Registrar and to the Trustee a
certification that interests in such trust may only be transferred subject to
requirements substantially to the effect set forth in this Section 5.02. The
Master Servicer will furnish, or cause to be furnished, upon the request of any
Holder of Non-Registered Certificates, to a prospective purchaser of such
Non-Registered Certificates who is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such
information relating to the Mortgage Loans that are in its possession and as is
specified in paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A with respect to the Trust Fund,
unless, at the time of such request, the entity with respect to which such
information is to be provided is subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar is obligated
to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the
Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of any Non-Registered
Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Holder of a
Non-Registered Certificate desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may
result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such
federal and state laws. Unless the Certificate Registrar determines otherwise in
accordance with applicable law and the rules and procedures of, or applicable
to, the Depository (the "Depository Rules"), transfers of a beneficial interest
in a Book-Entry Certificate representing an interest in a Non-Registered
Certificate that is not rated in one of the top four categories by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization to (i) an Institutional Accredited
Investor will require delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate and the
Certificate Registrar shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02(b) or (ii) a Qualified Institutional
Buyer may only be effectuated by means of an "SRO Rule 144A System" approved for
such purpose by the Commission.
(c) With respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, the Class V
Certificates and Residual Certificates: no sale, transfer, pledge or other
disposition by any Holder of any such Certificate shall be made unless the
Certificate Registrar shall have received either (i) a representation letter
from the proposed purchaser or transferee of such Certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, to the effect that such proposed
purchaser or transferee is not (a) an employee benefit plan subject to the
fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975
of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA)
subject to any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") that is, to a
material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each
a "Plan") or (b) a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such
Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets by reason
of investment in the entity by such Plan and the application of Department of
Labor Regulation ss. 2510.3-101), other than (except with respect to the Class V
Certificates or a Residual Certificate) an insurance company using the assets of
its general account under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such
Certificates by such insurance company would be exempt from the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 95-60 or (ii) except for the Class V Certificates or the Residual
Certificates (which may not be transferred to a Holder who does not make the
representation described in clause (i)(a) or (i)(b)) of this Section 5.02(c), if
such Certificate is presented for registration in the name of a purchaser or
transferee that is any of the foregoing, any Opinion of Counsel or other
certification as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor to the
effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by such purchaser or
transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt "prohibited
transaction" within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any
Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Underwriters, the Placement Agent or
the Depositor to any obligation or liability (including obligations or
liabilities under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any such Similar Law) in
addition to those set forth in this Agreement. The Certificate Registrar shall
not register the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any such
Certificate unless the Certificate Registrar has received either the
representation letter described in clause (i) of this Section 5.02(c) or, with
respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, the Opinions of Counsel or other
certification described in clause (ii) of this Section 5.02(c). The costs of any
of the foregoing representation letters, certifications or Opinions of Counsel
shall not be borne by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Underwriters, the Placement Agent, the Certificate
Registrar or the Trust Fund. With respect to transfers of Book-Entry
Certificates only, to the extent the purchase or holding of a Certificate
described in this Section 5.02(c) would be restricted by ERISA, the Code or
Similar Law, each Certificate Owner of such Certificate shall be deemed to
represent that it is not a Person specified in clause (i)(a) or (i)(b) of this
Section 5.02(c) and therefore shall not be required pursuant to this Section
5.02(c) to deliver to the Certificate Registrar the representation letter in the
form of Exhibit E attached hereto described in clause (i) of this Section
5.02(c), or the Opinion of Counsel or other certification described in clause
(ii) of this Section 5.02(c). Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of
any such Certificates that would constitute or result in a prohibited
transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, or would
otherwise violate the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall be deemed
absolutely null and void ab initio, to the extent permitted under applicable
law.
Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any such
Certificates that would constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under
ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, or would otherwise violate
the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall be deemed absolutely null and void
ab initio, to the extent permitted under applicable law.
So long as any of the Class of Certificates remains outstanding, the
Master Servicer will make available, or cause to be made available, upon
request, to any Holder and any Person to whom any such Certificate of any such
Class of Certificates may be offered or sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise
disposed of by such Holder, information with respect to the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Mortgage Loans reasonably necessary to the provision of
an Opinion of Counsel described in this Section 5.02(c).
(d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of
such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions
and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee under clause (ii) of this Section
5.02(d) to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person. The rights of
each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are
expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trustee and the REMIC Administrator of any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate (other than in connection with
the initial issuance thereof or the transfer thereof among the
Depositor and its Affiliates), the Certificate Registrar shall
require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit and
agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1
(a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement") from the proposed Transferee,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar,
representing and warranting, among other things, that such
Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject
of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it
retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate it will
endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed
the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by
them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) of this Section
5.02(d)(i), if the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that
the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed
Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Except in connection with the initial issuance of the
Residual Certificates or any transfer thereof among the Depositor
and its Affiliates, each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (1) to require a
Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any prospective Transferee to
whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in such
Residual Certificate and (2) not to transfer its Ownership Interest
in such Residual Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate
Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C-2 stating that, among other things, it has no actual
knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(ii) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then
the last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate that was in
compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) shall be restored,
to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be
under any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d)
or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof
or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement.
(iii) The REMIC Administrator shall make available to the IRS and
those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary
to compute any tax imposed as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization or a nominee, agent or middleman thereof, including the
information described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess inclusions" of such Residual
Certificate. The Person holding such Ownership Interest shall be
responsible for the reasonable compensation of the REMIC Administrator for
providing such information.
(e) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth
in this Section 5.02, the Holder of any Definitive Certificate may transfer or
exchange the same in whole or in part (with a Denomination equal to any
authorized denomination) by surrendering such Certificate at the Certificate
Registrar's office or at the office of any successor Certificate Registrar or
transfer agent appointed by the Certificate Registrar, together with an
instrument of assignment or transfer (executed by the Holder or its duly
authorized attorney), in the case of transfer, and a written request for
exchange in the case of exchange. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section 5.02 and Depository Rules, any Certificate Owner owning a
beneficial interest in a Non-Registered Certificate may cause the Certificate
Registrar to request that the Depository exchange such Certificate Owner's
beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Certificate for a Definitive Certificate or
Certificates. Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the
Certificate Registrar shall, execute and deliver at such offices or at the
office of such transfer agent, as the case may be, to the transferee (in the
case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first class
mail (at the risk of the transferee in the case of transfer or Holder in the
case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or Holder, as applicable,
may request, a Definitive Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require,
for a like aggregate Denomination and in such Denomination or Denominations as
may be requested.
(f) In the event a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar
becomes aware that a Definitive Certificate or a beneficial interest in a
Book-Entry Certificate representing a Non-Registered Certificate is being held
by or for the benefit of a Person who is not an Institutional Accredited
Investor, or that such holding is unlawful under the laws of a relevant
jurisdiction, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right to void such
transfer, if permitted under applicable law, or to require the investor to sell
such Definitive Certificate or beneficial interest in such Book-Entry
Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor within 14 days after notice
of such determination and each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a
Certificate authorizes the Certificate Registrar to take such action.
(g) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed
by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(h) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. In
addition, in connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited
Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs (including
the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's review of the documents and
any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate
Registrar as provided herein) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in
connection with such transfer.
(i) Subsequent to the initial issuance of the Certificates, the
Trustee shall be responsible for the preparation of physical Certificates in
connection with any transfer or exchange; provided that the correct form of
Certificate of each Class shall be provided by the Depositor to the Trustee on
diskette on or about the Closing Date. All Certificates surrendered for transfer
and exchange shall be physically canceled by the Certificate Registrar, and the
Certificate Registrar shall hold or destroy such canceled Certificates in
accordance with its standard procedures.
(j) The Certificate Registrar shall be required to provide the
Depositor and the REMIC Administrator with an updated copy of the Certificate
Register on or about January 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 2008, and
shall be required to provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the REMIC Administrator with an updated copy of the Certificate
Register at other times promptly upon written request therefor.
(k) If a Person is acquiring any Non-Registered Certificate or
interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person
shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar (or, in the case of a
Book-Entry Certificate, to the Certificate Owner that is transferring such
interest) a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be
reasonably required by the Trustee (or such Certificate Owner) to confirm that,
it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii)
full power to make the acknowledgments, representations, warranties,
certification and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in
subsections (b), (c) and (d), as applicable, of this Section 5.02.
(l) [RESERVED].
(m) Any Holder of an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate
in respect of the Certificates shall have the right, upon prior written notice
to the Depositor, the Trustee, Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, and the
Depository, in the form of the Exchange Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit
Q, to exchange all or a portion of such interest for an equivalent interest in a
Domestic Global Certificate in connection with a transfer of its interest
therein to a transferee that is eligible to hold an interest in a Domestic
Global Certificate as set forth herein. Any Holder of an interest in a Domestic
Global Certificate shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Depository and Euroclear or Clearstream, as
applicable, in the form of the Exchange Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit O
or Exhibit P, as applicable, to exchange all or a portion of such interest for
an equivalent interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate in connection with a
transfer of its interest therein to a transferee that is eligible to hold an
interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate as set forth herein. The Exchange
Certificate shall specify the denomination of the Certificates to be exchanged.
The Exchange Certificate shall also contain a representation that the transfer
is being made in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or
Regulation S, as the case may be. Following receipt of any Exchange Certificate
by the Depositor or the Trustee, (i) the Trustee shall endorse the schedule to
any Global Certificate representing the Certificate or Certificates being
exchanged to reduce the stated principal or notional amount of such Global
Certificate by the denominations of the Certificate or Certificates for which
such exchange is to be made, and (ii) the Trustee shall endorse the schedule to
any Global Certificate representing the Certificate or Certificates for which
such exchange is to be made to increase the stated principal or notional amount
of such Global Certificate by the denominations of the Certificate or
Certificates being exchanged therefor. The form of the Exchange Certificate
shall be available from the Trustee.
(n) No transfer of any Class A-MFL Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be made unless the
transfer or exchange is accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and
accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachments)
or W-9 in form satisfactory to the Trustee, duly executed by such
Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing (with copies
directly from such Certificateholders to the Swap Counterparty). The Trustee
shall promptly forward any such IRS Form received by the Trustee to the Swap
Counterparty. Each such Class A-MFL Certificateholder by its purchase of such a
Certificate shall be deemed to consent to any IRS Form being so forwarded.
Section 5.03 Book-Entry Certificates.
(a) The Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the
Class A-3 Certificates, the Class A-AB Certificates, the Class A-4 Certificates,
the Class A-1A Certificates, the Class XW Certificates, the Class A-MFX
Certificates, the Class A-MFL Certificates, the Class A-J Certificates, the
Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the Class D Certificates, the
Class E Certificates, the Class F Certificates, the Class G Certificates, the
Class H Certificates, the Class J Certificates, the Class K Certificates, the
Class L Certificates, the Class M Certificates, the Class N Certificates, the
Class O Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the Class Q Certificates
shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates registered in the name of
the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided in subsection (c) of this
Section 5.03), transfer of such Certificates may not be registered by the
Certificate Registrar unless such transfer is to a successor Depository that
agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with
Ownership Interests therein. Such Certificate Owners shall hold and transfer
their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the
book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided in subsection
(c) of this Section 5.03), shall not be entitled to fully registered, physical
Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such Ownership Interests.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in
the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures
established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing each
such Certificate Owner (in addition to the procedures established under this
Agreement and, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream). Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the
Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage
firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal
procedures. Neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall have any
responsibility to monitor or restrict the transfer of Ownership Interests in
Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository, Euroclear or
Clearstream.
(b) The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the REMIC Administrator and the Certificate Registrar may for all
purposes, including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates,
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to such Certificates for the purposes of exercising the
rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by
law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository
Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple
requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the
Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be
deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate
Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with
solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give
notice to the Depository of such record date. If any party hereto requests from
the Depository a list of the Depository Participants in respect of any Class or
Classes of the Book-Entry Certificates, the cost thereof shall be borne by the
party on whose behalf such request is made (but in no event shall any such cost
be borne by the Trustee).
(c) If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to any Class of the
Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor, or (ii) the Depositor notifies the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar
and DTC of its intent to terminate the book-entry system through DTC and, upon
receipt of notice of such intent from DTC, the Depository Participants holding
beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such
termination. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of any Class of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall execute, and the
Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, the appropriate Definitive
Certificates to the Certificate Owners identified in such instructions. None of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the REMIC
Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions.
(d) The Book-Entry Certificates (i) shall be delivered by the
Certificate Registrar to the Depository, or pursuant to the Depository's
instructions, and shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and (ii) shall
bear a legend substantially to the following effect:
UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO
THE CERTIFICATE REGISTRAR FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR
PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF
CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO
SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED
OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.
The Book-Entry Certificates may be deposited with such other
Depository as the Certificate Registrar may from time to time designate, and
shall bear such legend as may be appropriate.
(e) Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial
interest in a Book-Entry Certificate for a Definitive Certificate, as provided
herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on a schedule affixed to the
related Book-Entry Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to
such Book-Entry Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation
evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the
Denomination of such Book-Entry Certificate equal to the Denomination of such
Definitive Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.
(f) If a Holder of a Definitive Certificate wishes at any time to
transfer such Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in the Book-Entry Certificate, such transfer may
be effected only in accordance with Depository Rules and this Section 5.03(f).
Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Certificate Registrar's office
of (i) the Definitive Certificate to be transferred with an assignment and
transfer pursuant to this Section 5.03(f), (ii) written instructions given in
accordance with Depository Rules directing the Certificate Registrar to credit
or cause to be credited to another account a beneficial interest in the related
Book-Entry Certificate, in an amount equal to the Denomination of the Definitive
Certificate to be so transferred, (iii) a written order given in accordance with
the Depository Rules containing information regarding the account to be credited
with such beneficial interest, (iv) if the affected Certificate is a
Non-Registered Certificate an Investment Representation Letter from the
transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional
Buyer, and (v) if delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest
in the Regulation S Global Certificate, a Regulation S Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar shall cancel such Definitive Certificate, execute and
deliver a new Definitive Certificate for the Denomination of the Definitive
Certificate not so transferred, registered in the name of the Holder or the
Holder's transferee (as instructed by the Holder), and the Certificate Registrar
shall instruct the Depository or the custodian holding such Book-Entry
Certificate on behalf of the Depository to increase the Denomination of the
related Book-Entry Certificate by the Denomination of the Definitive Certificate
to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of
the Person specified in such instructions a corresponding Denomination of such
Book-Entry Certificate.
Each Regulation S Certificate shall include a certification to the
effect that: (i) (1) the offer of the Certificates was not made to a person in
the United States; and (2) no directed selling efforts have been made in
contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(b) or 904(b) of Regulation S, as
applicable, and the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the
registration requirements of the Securities Act; or (ii) with respect to
transfers made in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act, that the
Certificates being transferred are not "restricted securities" as defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
(g) The Certificates initially sold in offshore transactions in
reliance on Regulation S shall be represented by a single Regulation S Global
Certificate for each such Class in fully registered form without interest
coupons, which will be deposited with the Trustee and registered in the name of
Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC. Beneficial interests in each Regulation S Global
Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream.
No interest in the Regulation S Global Certificates may be held by
or transferred to a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) except for
exchanges for a beneficial interest in a Domestic Global Certificate or a
Definitive Certificate as described in Section 5.02(m). Any beneficial interest
in a Regulation S Global Certificate that is transferred to a U.S. Person that
is an Institutional Accredited Investor (that is not a Qualified Institutional
Buyer) is required to be delivered in the form of a Definitive Certificate and
shall cease to be an interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate and,
thereafter, will be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures
applicable to Certificates in definitive form described in Section 5.03.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer of a beneficial interest in a
Regulation S Global Certificate to a Definitive Certificate pursuant to this
Section 5.03 shall be made prior to the Release Date. Certificates evidenced by
Regulation S Global Certificates shall be subject to certain restrictions on
transfer as set forth in Section 5.02 and shall bear a legend regarding such
restrictions described herein.
Section 5.04 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered
to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may
reasonably be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of actual notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and like Percentage Interest.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Trustee
and the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee
and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
Section 5.05 Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the REMIC
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and any agents of any of them may treat
the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the REMIC Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.
Section 5.06 Certification by Certificate Owners.
(a) Each Certificate Owner is hereby deemed by virtue of its
acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Book-Entry Certificates to agree to
comply with the applicable transfer requirements of Sections 5.02(b) and
5.02(c).
(b) To the extent that under the terms of this Agreement, it is
necessary to determine whether any Person is a Certificate Owner, the Trustee
shall make such determination based on a certificate of such Person that shall
specify, in reasonable detail satisfactory to the Trustee, the Class and
Certificate Principal Balance or Certificate Notional Amount, as the case may
be, of the Book-Entry Certificate beneficially owned, the value of such Person's
interest in such Certificate and any intermediaries through which such Person's
Ownership Interest in such Book-Entry Certificate is held; provided, however,
the Trustee shall not knowingly recognize such Person as a Certificate Owner if
such Person, to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, acquired
its Ownership Interest in a Book-Entry Certificate in violation of Section
5.02(b) and/or Section 5.02(c), or if such Person's certification that it is a
Certificate Owner is in direct conflict with information obtained by the Trustee
from the Depository, Depository Participants, and/or indirect participating
brokerage firms for which a Depository Participant acts as agent, with respect
to the identity of a Certificate Owner. The Trustee shall exercise its
reasonable discretion in making any determination under this Section 5.06(b) and
shall afford any Person providing information with respect to its beneficial
ownership of any Certificates an opportunity to resolve any discrepancies
between the information provided and any other information available to the
Trustee.
Section 5.07 Regarding the Identification of Certain
Certificateholders.
(a) For purposes of determining the identity of the Holders of the
Non-Registered Certificates (except a Class V, Class R-I or Class R-II
Certificate) to whom certain reports and other information are required to be
delivered hereunder, the Trustee and the Master Servicer may rely, with respect
to any such Certificates outstanding in book-entry form, on a certification,
given to the Trustee and provided to the Master Servicer, by any Person that

ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR, THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SPECIAL SERVICER AND THE
REMIC ADMINISTRATOR
Section 6.01 Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the REMIC Administrator.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
REMIC Administrator shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of
the respective obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the REMIC Administrator
herein.
Section 6.02 Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC Administrator.
(a) Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the REMIC Administrator each will keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation or other
business organization under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization,
and each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign
corporation or otherwise in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or
shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement,
the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective
duties under this Agreement.
(b) The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
REMIC Administrator each may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person,
or transfer all or substantially all of its assets (which, as to the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer, may be limited to all or substantially all of
its assets relating to the business of mortgage loan servicing) to any Person,
in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC Administrator
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, shall be the
successor of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
REMIC Administrator, as the case may be, 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, no successor
or surviving Person shall succeed to the rights of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, unless such succession will not result in any downgrade,
qualification (if applicable) or withdrawal of the rating then assigned by any
Rating Agency to any Class of Certificates or Companion Loan Securities (as
confirmed in writing).
In accordance with Section 11.02, The Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer and such successor or surviving Person shall notify the
Depositor and the Trustee of any such merger, conversion or consolidation at
least two Business Days prior to the effective date thereof and shall provide
the Depositor and the Trustee with all information reasonably requested by the
Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K
not later than the effective date of such merger, conversion or consolidation.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the REMIC Administrator and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the REMIC Administrator or any director, officer, employee or agent of any of
the foregoing shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders
or any Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Whole Loan) for any action taken,
or not taken, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in
judgment; provided, however, this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or any such other
Person against any breach of a representation or warranty made herein, or
against any expense or liability specifically required to be borne thereby
pursuant to the terms hereof, or against any liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of obligations or duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent or
reckless disregard of such obligations and duties. The Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the REMIC Administrator and any director,
manager, member, officer, employee or agent (including Sub-Servicers) of any of
the foregoing may rely in good faith on any document of any kind that, prima
facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
REMIC Administrator and any director, manager, member, officer, employee or
agent (including Sub-Servicers) of any of the foregoing shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Trust against any loss, liability or expense, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation,
incurred in connection with any claims or legal action relating to this
Agreement, the Certificates or any asset of the Trust, other than any loss,
liability or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne by such Person
pursuant to the terms hereof, including, without limitation, Section 10.01(h);
or (ii) that was incurred in connection with claims against such party resulting
from (A) any breach of a representation or warranty made herein by such party,
(B) willful misfeasance, bad faith, recklessness or negligence in the
performance of obligations or duties hereunder by such party, or from negligent
or reckless disregard of such obligations or duties, or (C) any violation by
such party of any state or federal securities law. None of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC Administrator shall be under
any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such
action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, except in
the case of a legal action contemplated by Section 3.22, in its opinion does not
involve it in any ultimate expense or liability; provided, however, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC Administrator
may in its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or
desirable with respect to the enforcement and/or protection of the rights and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders, or if
a Whole Loan is affected, the interests of the Certificateholders and the
related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole and, in the case of an A/B
Whole Loan, taking into account the subordination of the related A/B Companion
Loan); provided, however, if a Whole Loan and/or a Companion Loan Holder is
involved, such expenses, costs and liabilities shall be payable out of the
related Whole Loan Custodial Account and shall also be payable out of the
Certificate Account if (A) amounts on deposit in the related Whole Loan
Custodial Account are insufficient therefor and (B) either (i) such expenses,
costs and liabilities do not relate solely to such Companion Loan or (ii) if
such expenses, costs and liabilities relate solely to such Companion Loan, only
to the extent of deposits in the Certificate Account related directly to the
Whole Loan. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, and any
liability resulting therefrom, shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
REMIC Administrator each shall be entitled to the direct payment of such
expenses or to be reimbursed therefor from the Certificate Account as provided
in Section 3.05(a) (or, if and to the extent the matter relates solely to the
Companion Loan related to a Whole Loan, out of the related Whole Loan Custodial
Account and out of the Certificate Account to the extent of deposits therein
related directly to the Whole Loan). For the avoidance of doubt, such expenses,
costs and liabilities shall not be deemed to relate solely to the Companion Loan
related to a Whole Loan for the sole reason that the related action was
instituted by or against the related Companion Loan Holder.
Section 6.04 Master Servicer, Special Servicer and REMIC
Administrator Not to Resign.
None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC
Administrator shall be permitted to resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it, except (i) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of
such appointment by, a successor thereto that is reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee and the Directing Certificateholder and the receipt by the Trustee of
written confirmation from each and every Rating Agency to the effect that such
resignation and appointment will not result in the downgrade, qualification (if
applicable) or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by such Rating Agency to
any Class of Certificates or Companion Loan Securities or (ii) upon
determination that such obligations and duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it, the other activities
of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or REMIC Administrator, as the case may
be, so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the
Master Servicer, Special Servicer or REMIC Administrator, as the case may be, at
the date of this Agreement. Any such determination of the nature described in
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as the case may be,
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect, which shall be
rendered by Independent counsel, be addressed and delivered to the Trustee and
the Rating Agencies and be paid for by the resigning party. No such resignation
for either reason shall become effective until the Trustee or other successor
shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning party
hereunder. All costs and expenses of the Trustee and the Trust (including,
without limitation, any costs or expenses of any party hereto reimbursable out
of the Trust Fund) in connection with any such resignation (including, without
limitation, any requisite transfer of servicing) shall be paid for, as incurred,
by the resigning party.
Consistent with the foregoing, none of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the REMIC Administrator shall be permitted, except as
expressly provided herein, to assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or
privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or
authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or
obligations to be performed by it hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision
hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC
Administrator are transferred to a successor thereto, then, subject to Section
3.11(a) and Section 3.22, the entire amount of compensation payable to the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as the case
may be, pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor.
Section 6.05 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the REMIC Administrator.
The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the REMIC
Administrator each shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable
notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as the case
may be, in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to such of
its officers as are responsible for such obligations. Upon reasonable request,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the REMIC Administrator each shall
furnish the Depositor and the Trustee with its most recent financial statements,
or in the case of the Special Servicer, publicly available financial statements
of its corporate parent, and such other publicly available information directly
related to the servicing of the Loans or to its ability to perform its
obligations hereunder as it possesses, and that it is not prohibited by law or,
to the extent applicable, binding obligations to third parties with respect to
confidentiality from disclosing, regarding its business, affairs, property and
condition, financial or otherwise; provided that neither the Depositor nor the
Trustee may disclose the contents of any information that is not available
publicly to non-affiliated third parties (other than their duly authorized
representatives, which include without limitation attorneys and/or accountants)
unless the Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable, is required to do so under
applicable securities law or is compelled to do so as a matter of law. The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the REMIC Administrator hereunder and may,
but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted
obligation of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC
Administrator hereunder or, in connection with a default thereby, exercise the
rights of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC Administrator
hereunder; provided, however, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or the REMIC Administrator shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder
by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor
shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act
by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the REMIC Administrator and is
not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the REMIC Administrator under this Agreement or otherwise.
