This Pooling and Servicing Agreement (this "Agreement") is dated and
effective as of November 12, 2007, among STRUCTURED ASSET SECURITIES CORPORATION
II, as Depositor, WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Master Servicer, LNR
PARTNERS, INC., as Special Servicer, and LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
Trustee.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates, which are to be issued
hereunder in multiple Classes and which in the aggregate will evidence the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat each Early
Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan, if any, as the primary asset of a separate REMIC
for federal income tax purposes, and each such REMIC will be designated as a
"Loan REMIC". The Class R-LR Certificates (if issued in accordance with Section
2.06) will represent the sole class of "residual interests" in each and every
Loan REMIC, if any, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income
tax law. A separate Loan REMIC Regular Interest will, on the Closing Date, be
issued with respect to, and will thereafter relate to, each Early Defeasance
Trust Mortgage Loan, if any, included in a Loan REMIC. Each Loan REMIC Regular
Interest, if any, issued with respect to, and relating to, an Early Defeasance
Trust Mortgage Loan in a Loan REMIC, shall also relate to any successor REO
Trust Mortgage Loan with respect to such Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan.
Each Loan REMIC Regular Interest, if any, shall: (i) bear a numeric designation
that is the same as the loan number for the related Early Defeasance Trust
Mortgage Loan set forth on the Trust Mortgage Loan Schedule; (ii) accrue
interest at the related per annum rate described in the definition of "Loan
REMIC Remittance Rate"; and (iii) have an initial Uncertificated Principal
Balance equal to the Cut-off Date Balance of the related Early Defeasance Trust
Mortgage Loan. The Legal Final Distribution Date of each Loan REMIC Regular
Interest, if any, is the Distribution Date immediately following the third
anniversary of the end of the remaining amortization term (as determined as of
the Closing Date) of the related Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan. None of
the Loan REMIC Regular Interests (if issued in accordance with Section 2.06)
will be certificated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Trust Fund
does not include Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loans, then (i) there will be
no Loan REMICs, (ii) neither the Class R-LR Certificates nor any Loan REMIC
Regular Interests will be issued and (iii) the provisions of Section 2.06(b)
will apply.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of the Trust Mortgage Loans (exclusive of the Early
Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loans, if any, and exclusive of any collections of
Additional Interest on the ARD Trust Mortgage Loans, if any, after their
respective Anticipated Repayment Dates), any Loan REMIC Regular Interests and
certain other related assets subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal
income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as
"REMIC I". The Class R-I Certificates will represent the sole class of "residual
interests" in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income
tax law. A separate REMIC I Regular Interest will, on the Closing Date, be
issued with respect to, and will thereafter relate to, each other Trust Mortgage
Loan included in REMIC I and each Loan REMIC Regular Interest, if any, included
in REMIC I. Each REMIC I Regular Interest issued with respect to, and relating
to, a Trust Mortgage Loan in REMIC I, shall also relate to any successor REO
Trust Mortgage Loan with respect to such Trust Mortgage Loan. Each REMIC I
Regular Interest issued with respect to, and relating to, any Loan REMIC Regular
Interest, shall also relate to the Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan and any
successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan corresponding to such Loan REMIC
Regular Interest. Each REMIC I Regular Interest shall: (i) bear a numeric
designation that is the same as the loan number for the related Trust Mortgage
Loan set forth on the Trust Mortgage Loan Schedule; (ii) accrue interest at a
per annum rate described in the definition of "REMIC I Remittance Rate"; and
(iii) have an initial Uncertificated Principal Balance equal to the Cut-off Date
Balance of the related Trust Mortgage Loan. The Legal Final Distribution Date of
each of the REMIC I Regular Interests is the Distribution Date immediately
following the third anniversary of the end of the remaining amortization term
(as determined as of the Closing Date) of the related Trust Mortgage Loan. None
of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be
designated as "REMIC II". The Class R-II Certificates will represent the sole
class of "residual interests" in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
under federal income tax law. The Legal Final Distribution Date for each REMIC
II Regular Interest is the latest Rated Final Distribution Date. None of the
REMIC II Regular Interests will be certificated. Each REMIC II Regular Interest
shall accrue interest at a per annum rate described in the definition of "REMIC
II Remittance Rate." The following table sets forth the designation, the initial
Uncertificated Principal Balance and the Corresponding Class of Principal
Balance Certificates for each of the REMIC II Regular Interests.

As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of the REMIC II Regular Interests as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be
designated as "REMIC III". The Class R-III Certificates will evidence the sole
class of "residual interests" in REMIC III for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
under federal income tax law. For federal income tax purposes, each Class of the

The Class V Certificates (if issued in accordance with Section 2.05)

collective basis by the same Mortgage(s) encumbering the related Mortgaged
Property or group of Mortgaged Properties. The Combination Trust Mortgage Loan
and related Non-Trust Mortgage Loan(s) that are secured by the same Mortgage(s)
on a particular Mortgaged Property or group of Mortgaged Properties will,
together, constitute a "Loan Combination" (which term shall include any pair or
group of successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect to those two (2) or more
mortgage loans or any other corresponding mortgage loans deemed to exist with
respect to a related REO Property). Each Trust Mortgage Loan and Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan comprising a Loan Combination is evidenced by a separate Mortgage
Note. The relative rights of the respective lenders in

respect of each Loan Combination are set forth in a related co-lender agreement
or intercreditor agreement (each such co-lender agreement or intercreditor
agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, a "Co-Lender Agreement"), between the holder of the Mortgage Note for the
Combination Trust Mortgage Loan included in such Loan Combination and the
holder(s) of the Mortgage Note(s) for the Non-Trust Mortgage Loan(s) included in
such Loan Combination. As and to the extent provided in the related Co-Lender
Agreement and the related loan documents, a Non-Trust Mortgage Loan may, under
various material default scenarios, be senior in right of payment to the related
Combination Trust Mortgage Loan (any such Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, a "Senior
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan"), be pari passu in right of payment with the related
Combination Trust Mortgage Loan (any such Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, a "Pari Passu
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan"), be subordinate in right of payment to the related
Combination Trust Mortgage Loan (any such Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, a
"Subordinate Non-Trust Mortgage Loan") or reflect some combination of those
payment characteristics.
Some or all of the Combination Trust Mortgage Loans (each, a "Serviced
Combination Trust Mortgage Loan") may be serviced and administered in accordance
with (and, accordingly, most material servicing functions with respect to the
related Non-Trust Mortgage Loans and any related REO Property will be performed
pursuant to) this Agreement, in which case the Loan Combination that includes
such Serviced Combination Trust Mortgage Loan will constitute a "Serviced Loan
Combination". Schedule XIV attached hereto identifies each Serviced Combination
Trust Mortgage Loan, if any, that will be included in the Trust Fund by name of
the related Mortgaged Property or group of related Mortgaged Properties, the
Cut-off Date Balance of such Serviced Combination Trust Mortgage Loan, the
original principal balance of each Non-Trust Mortgage Loan included in the
applicable Serviced Loan Combination and the holder (as of the Closing Date) of
the Mortgage Note for each Non-Trust Mortgage Loan included in the applicable
Serviced Loan Combination. If Schedule XIV attached hereto does not identify any
Trust Mortgage Loans, then the Trust Fund will not include any Serviced
Combination Trust Mortgage Loans and the provisions of Section 3.27(p) will
apply.
The Trust Fund may also include one (1) or more Combination Trust
Mortgage Loans (each, an "Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan") that will, in
each such case, be part of a Loan Combination (an "Outside Serviced Loan
Combination") as to which most material servicing functions with respect thereto
and any related REO Property will be performed pursuant to an Outside Servicing
Agreement. Schedule XV attached hereto identifies, among other things, each
Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, if any, that will be included in the Trust
Fund by name of the related Mortgaged Property or group of Mortgaged Properties,
the Cut-off Date Balance of such Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, the
original principal balance of each Non-Trust Mortgage Loan included in the
applicable Outside Serviced Loan Combination and the holder (as of the Closing
Date) of the Mortgage Note for each Non-Trust Mortgage Loan included in the
applicable Outside Serviced Loan Combination. If Schedule XV attached hereto
does not identify any Trust Mortgage Loans, then the Trust Fund will not include
any Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loans and the provisions of Section 3.27(q)
will apply.

this proviso shall be decreased by the Interest Reserve Amount, if any, with
respect to the related Interest Reserve Mortgage Loan or Interest Reserve REO

with respect to an Outside Serviced Loan Combination shall be calculated, and
allocated between the respective Mortgage Loans comprising such Outside Serviced
Loan Combination by the applicable Outside Servicer pursuant to the related
Outside Servicing Agreement; and the parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on

Mortgage Loan, as applicable, in such Outside Serviced Loan Combination, as
reported to them by the applicable Outside Servicer.

materially adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders (or, in the

Mortgage Loan Noteholder) and such default is likely to remain unremedied

received notice of the commencement of foreclosure or similar proceedings
with respect to the related Mortgaged Property;
provided, however, that a Serviced Mortgage Loan will cease to be a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan when a Liquidation Event has occurred with respect to
such Serviced Mortgage Loan, when the related Mortgaged Property has become an
REO Property or, so long as at such time no circumstance identified in clauses
(a) through (g) above exists that would cause such Serviced Mortgage Loan to
continue to be characterized as a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, when:
(w) with respect to the circumstances described in clause (a) of
this definition, the related Mortgagor has made three consecutive full and
timely Monthly Payments under the terms of such Mortgage Loan (as such
terms may be changed or modified in connection with a bankruptcy or similar
proceeding involving the related Mortgagor or by reason of a modification,
extension, waiver or amendment granted or agreed to by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20);

this definition, the default is cured in the good faith, reasonable
judgment of the Special Servicer;

such proceeding;
(z) with respect to the circumstances described in clause (g) of
this definition, such proceedings are terminated.
The Special Servicer may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on
the Master Servicer's determination as to whether a Servicing Transfer Event has
occurred giving rise to a Serviced Mortgage Loan's becoming a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan.
-99-

is part of a Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, then the other Mortgage Loan or each of the other Mortgage Loans, as the
case may be, in such Loan Combination shall also become a Specially Serviced

Loan Noteholder prevents the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event with
respect to the related Serviced Combination Trust Mortgage Loan through the
exercise of any cure rights granted under the related Co-Lender Agreement with
respect to such Serviced Combination Trust Mortgage Loan, then the existence of
such Servicing Transfer Event with respect to the related Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan (because any such cure rights do not include the cure of defaults
under the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan) will not, in and of itself,
result in any Mortgage Loan that is part of the subject Serviced Loan
Combination becoming a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (provided that a
separate Servicing Transfer Event may occur with respect to the subject Serviced
Loan Combination causing the Mortgage Loans comprising such Loan Combination to
become Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans).

Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan hereunder.

waiver or amendment of such Mortgage Loan granted or agreed to by the Special
Servicer (or the Master Servicer, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.20 (or,

Outside Servicer pursuant to the related Outside Servicing Agreement) and, in
the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan, without regard to its Anticipated Repayment
Date.
"Stated Principal Balance" shall mean, as of any date of
determination: (a) with respect to any Trust Mortgage Loan and any successor REO

such Distribution Date allocable to such Trust Mortgage Loan (or any such
successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto), without giving effect
to any adjustments pursuant to Section 1.03 in connection with the calculation
of the Adjusted Principal Distribution Amount, and (ii) the principal portion of
any Realized Loss incurred in respect of such Trust Mortgage Loan (or any such
successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) during the applicable
related Collection Period (or, in the case of a forgiveness of principal, a
Permitted Purchase under the related Outside Servicing Agreement and/or the
related Co-Lender Agreement for less than the related Purchase Price or a Final
Recovery Determination with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan
or any successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto, during the
related Underlying Collection Period) (provided that, if some or all of the
-100-
principal portion of such Realized Loss constitutes an Advance that previously
reduced the Stated Principal Balance of such Trust Mortgage Loan or any
successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto by operation of clause
(i) above, then the amount of that Advance included in the principal portion of
such Realized Loss shall not further reduce the Stated Principal Balance of such
Trust Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect
thereto under this clause (ii)); and (b) with respect to any Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan and any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto, the
Cut-off Date Balance of such Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, as permanently reduced on
each related Master Servicer Remittance Date (to not less than zero) by (i) any
principal amounts in respect of such Non-Trust Mortgage Loan (or any such
successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) distributed to the related
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder on such Master Servicer Remittance Date, and
(ii) the principal portion of any Realized Loss incurred in respect of such
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan (or any such successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect
thereto) in connection with a Liquidation Event or the forgiveness of principal
during the related Collection Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
Liquidation Event occurs in respect of any Mortgage Loan or any related REO
Property, then the "Stated Principal Balance" of such Mortgage Loan or of any
successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto, as the case may be, shall be
zero commencing as of the first Distribution Date (or, in the case of a Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto,
the first related Master Servicer Remittance Date) following the end of the
applicable Collection Period in which such Liquidation Event occurred; provided
that, in the case of an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or any successor

is a Final Recovery Determination made by the applicable Outside Servicer with
respect to, or a Permitted Purchase under the related Outside Servicing

as amended.
"Workout Fee" shall mean the fee designated as such in, and payable to
the Special Servicer with respect to certain collections on each Corrected
Mortgage Loan pursuant to, Section 3.11(c).
"Workout Fee Rate" shall mean, with respect to each Corrected Mortgage
Loan as to which a Workout Fee is payable, 1.0%.
"Yield Maintenance Charge" shall mean the amount paid or payable, as
the context requires, as the result of a Principal Prepayment on, or other early
collection of principal of, a Mortgage Loan, which amount is not otherwise due
thereon in respect of principal or interest and has been calculated (based on
scheduled payments of interest and/or principal on such Mortgage Loan) to
compensate the holder for reinvestment losses based on the value of an interest
rate index at or near the time of prepayment. Any other prepayment premiums,
penalties and fees not so calculated will not be considered "Yield Maintenance
Charges". In addition, any Excess Defeasance Deposit Proceeds will not be
considered "Yield Maintenance Charges". In the event that a Yield Maintenance
Charge shall become due for any particular Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall be required to follow the terms and provisions contained in the
applicable Mortgage Note, provided, however, that, in the event the particular
Mortgage Note shall not specify the U.S. Treasuries which shall be used in
determining the discount rate or the reinvestment yield to be applied in such
calculation, the Master Servicer shall be required to use those U.S. Treasuries
which shall generate the lowest discount rate or reinvestment yield for the
purposes thereof. Accordingly, if either no U.S. Treasury issue, or more than
one U.S. Treasury issue, shall coincide with the term over which the Yield
Maintenance Charge shall be calculated (which depending on the applicable
Mortgage Note is based on the remaining average life of the subject Serviced
Mortgage Loan or the actual term remaining through the related Stated Maturity
Date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable), the Master Servicer shall
use the applicable U.S. Treasury whose reinvestment yield is the lowest, with
such yield being based on the bid price for such issue as published in The Wall
Street Journal on the date that is 14 days prior to the date that the Yield
Maintenance Charge shall become due and payable (or, if such bid price is not
published on that date, the next preceding date on which such bid price is so
published) and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. The monthly
compounded nominal yield ("MEY") is derived from the reinvestment yield or
discount rate and shall be defined as MEY = (12 X [{(1+ "BEY"/2) ^1/6}-1]) X
100, where BEY is defined as the U.S. Treasury Reinvestment Yield which is in
decimal form and not in percentage, and 1/6 is the exponential power to which a
portion of the equation is raised. For example, using a BEY of 5.50%, the MEY =
(12 X [{(1+ .055/2) ^ 0.16667}- 1]) X 100 where .055 is the decimal
-111-
version of the percentage 5.5% and 0.16667 is the decimal version of the
exponential power. The MEY in the above calculation is 5.44%.
"Yield Maintenance Treasury Rate" shall mean, for purposes of
calculating a Discount Rate, the yield calculated by the Master Servicer by
linear interpolation of the yields, as such yields are reported in Federal
Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest Rates (519), under the
heading U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities, with respect to
the maturity dates set forth thereunder, one longer and one shorter, most nearly
approximating the maturity date (or, in the case of an ARD Trust Mortgage Loan
or any successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto, the Anticipated
Repayment Date) of the relevant prepaid Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Trust
Mortgage Loan. If Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 is no longer
published or does not indicate the information set forth above, then the Master
Servicer shall select a comparable publication or source for the purposes of
determining the Yield Maintenance Treasury Rate.
"YM Principal Balance Certificates" shall mean, collectively, the
Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-AB, Class A-3, Class A-1A, Class A-M, Class A-J,
Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J and Class
K Certificates.

SECTION 1.03. Certain Adjustments to the Principal Distributions on
the Certificates.
(a) If any party hereto is reimbursed out of general collections on
the Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Pool Custodial Account for any unreimbursed
Advance that has been or is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance (together
with interest accrued and payable thereon pursuant to Section 3.11(g) or Section
4.03(d), as applicable, to the extent such interest was paid hereunder from a
source other than related Default Charges or Loss of Value Payments), then (for
purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates) each such
reimbursement and payment of interest shall be deemed to have been made:
first, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Pool Custodial
Account that represent payments or other collections of principal Received by
the Trust with respect to the Trust Mortgage Loans and/or REO Trust Mortgage
Loans in the Loan Group that includes the Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Trust
Mortgage Loan in respect of which such Nonrecoverable Advance was made, and
which amounts, but for their application to reimburse such Nonrecoverable
Advance (and/or to pay interest thereon), would be included in the Available
Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date;
second, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Pool Custodial
Account that represent payments or other collections of principal Received by
the Trust with respect to the Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Trust Mortgage Loans
in the Loan Group that does not include the Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Trust
Mortgage Loan in respect of which such Nonrecoverable Advance was made, and
which amounts, but for their application to reimburse such Nonrecoverable
Advance (and/or to pay interest thereon), would be included in the Available
Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date;
third, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Pool Custodial
Account that represent any other payments and/or collections Received by the
Trust with respect to the Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Trust Mortgage Loans in
the Loan Group that includes the Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Trust Mortgage Loan
in respect of which such Nonrecoverable Advance was made, and which amounts, but
for their application to reimburse such Nonrecoverable Advance (and/or to pay
interest thereon), would be included in the Available Distribution Amount for
the related Distribution Date;
fourth, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Pool Custodial
Account that represent any other payments and/or collections Received by the
Trust with respect to the Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Trust Mortgage Loans in
the Loan Group that does not include the Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Trust
Mortgage Loan in respect of which such Nonrecoverable Advance was made, and
which amounts, but for their application to reimburse such Nonrecoverable
Advance (and/or to pay interest thereon), would be included in the Available
Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date; and
fifth, out of any other amounts then on deposit in the Pool Custodial
Account that may be available to reimburse the subject Nonrecoverable Advance
and/or to pay interest thereon.
(b) If and to the extent that any payment or other collection of
principal of any Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Trust Mortgage Loan is deemed to be
applied in accordance with Section 1.03(a) to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance
or to pay interest thereon, and further if and to the extent that such payment
or other collection of principal constitutes part of the Principal Distribution
Amount for any Distribution Date, then: (i) the Adjusted Principal Distribution
Amount for such Distribution Date shall exclude such payment or other collection
of principal; and (ii) in accordance with
-113-
clause (c) of the definition of "Adjusted Principal Distribution Amount", in
order to calculate the Adjusted Principal Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date, the amount of such payment or other collection of principal
shall be subtracted from the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution
Date. In addition, for purposes of determining the respective portions of the
Adjusted Principal Distribution Amount for any Distribution Date that are
attributable to the two Loan Groups, the Trustee shall take into account whether
any payment or other collection of principal excluded from such Adjusted
Principal Distribution Amount in accordance with the preceding sentence relates
to a Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Trust Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, in Loan
Group No. 1 or Loan Group No. 2.
(c) If and to the extent that (1) any Advance is determined to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance, (2) such Advance is reimbursed or interest thereon is
paid out of general principal collections on the Mortgage Pool as contemplated
by Section 1.03(a) above and (3) the particular item for which such Advance was
originally made or such interest on such Advance, as the case may be, is
subsequently Received by the Trust (in whole or in part) out of payments or
other collections in respect of the related Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Trust
Mortgage Loan (such item or such interest on such Advance, as the case may be,
if and to the extent so collected, a "Recovered Amount"), then: (i) without
duplication of any amounts already included therein, the Adjusted Principal
Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date that corresponds to the related
Collection Period in which such item or such interest on such Advance, as the
case may be, was Received by the Trust shall include such Recovered Amount; (ii)
in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of "Adjusted Principal
Distribution Amount", in order to calculate the Adjusted Principal Distribution
Amount for the Distribution Date that corresponds to the related Collection
Period in which such item was Received by the Trust, such Recovered Amount (to
the extent not already included therein) shall be added to the Principal
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date; and (iii) such Advance or such
interest thereon, as the case may be, to the extent of such Recovered Amount,
will no longer be considered to have been reimbursed or paid, as the case may
be, out of general principal collections on the Mortgage Pool. In addition, if
and to the extent that any Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance,
interest on such Advance is paid out of general principal collections on the
Mortgage Pool as contemplated by Section 1.03(a) above and such interest on such
Advance is subsequently reimbursed to the Trust out of Default Charges or Loss
of Value Payments collected on the Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Trust Mortgage
Loan as to which such Advance was made, then: (i) the Adjusted Principal
Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date that corresponds to the related
Collection Period in which such Default Charges were Received by the Trust or
such Loss of Value Payments were so applied shall include the portion of such
Default Charges or Loss of Value Payments that was applied to reimburse the
Trust for such interest on such Advance; (ii) in accordance with clause (b) of
the definition of "Adjusted Principal Distribution Amount", in order to
calculate the Adjusted Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date
that corresponds to the related Collection Period in which such Default Charges
were Received by the Trust or such Loss of Value Payments were so applied, an
amount equal to the portion of such Default Charges or Loss of Value Payments
that was applied to reimburse the Trust for such interest on such Advance shall
be added to the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date; and
(iii) such interest on such Advance, to the extent that the Trust was reimbursed
for such interest out of such Default Charges or such Loss of Value Payments,
will no longer be considered to have been paid out of general principal
collections on the Mortgage Pool. In addition, for purposes of determining the
respective portions of the Adjusted Principal Distribution Amount for any
Distribution Date that are attributable to the two Loan Groups, the Trustee
shall take into account whether any Recovered Amount, Default Charges or Loss of
Value Payments included in such Adjusted Principal Distribution Amount in
accordance with the
-114-
foregoing sentences of this Section 1.03(c) relates to a Trust Mortgage Loan or
REO Trust Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, in Loan Group No. 1 or Loan Group
No. 2; provided that, if the Nonrecoverable Advance or interest thereon to which
such Recovered Amount, Default Charges or Loss of Value Payments, as the case
may be, corresponds was deemed reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, out of
payments and other collections of principal attributable to both Loan Groups,
then such Recovered Amount, Default Charges or Loss of Value Payments, as the
case may be, shall be deemed allocated to the two Loan Groups, in each case up
to the amount of payments and other collections of principal attributable
thereto that were deemed applied to reimburse or pay, as the case may be, such
Nonrecoverable Advance or interest thereon, in the reverse order contemplated by
Section 1.03(a).
(d) Nothing contained in this Section 1.03 is intended to limit the
ability of any party hereto that is entitled to reimbursement hereunder for any
unreimbursed Advances that have been or are determined to be Nonrecoverable
Advances (together with interest accrued and payable thereon pursuant to Section
3.11(g) or Section 4.03(d)) to be reimbursed from collections of principal

CONVEYANCE OF TRUST MORTGAGE LOANS; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
SECTION 2.01. Creation of Trust; Conveyance of Trust Mortgage Loans.
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that a common law trust
be established pursuant to this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York
and that such trust be designated as "LB-UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C7".
LaSalle 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.
The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby assign, sell, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee
in trust, without recourse, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, all the
right, title and interest of the Depositor in, to and under (i) the Trust
Mortgage Loans, (ii) the UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement(s),
(iii) any Co-Lender Agreement(s) and/or Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement(s),
and (iv) all other assets included or to be included in the Trust Fund. Such
assignment includes all interest and principal received or receivable on or with
respect to the Trust Mortgage Loans and due after the Cut-off Date and, in the
case of each Combination Trust Mortgage Loan, is subject to the provisions of
the related Co-Lender Agreement and, in the case of each Mezzanine-Related Trust
Mortgage Loan, is subject to the provisions of the related Mezzanine
Intercreditor Agreement. With respect to each Combination Trust Mortgage Loan
and Mezzanine-Related Trust Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust,
assumes the obligations of the holder of such Trust Mortgage Loan and the
related Mortgage Note under, and agrees to be bound by, the related Co-Lender
Agreement and/or Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding Section
11.07, the transfer of the Trust Mortgage Loans and the related rights and
property accomplished hereby is absolute and is intended by them to constitute a
sale.
The Trust Fund shall constitute the sole assets of the Trust. Except
as expressly provided herein, the Trust may not issue or invest in additional
securities, borrow money or make loans to other Persons. The fiscal year end of
the Trust shall be December 31.
(b) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to Section
2.01(a) above, the Depositor hereby agrees (in the case of each Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan), and the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller has agreed
pursuant to the related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (in the
case of each Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), on or before the Closing Date, to
deliver to and deposit with (or cause to be delivered to and deposited with):
(i) the Trustee or a Custodian appointed thereby, the Mortgage File for such
Trust Mortgage Loan, with copies of each Mortgage File to be delivered by the
Trustee to, upon request, the Master Servicer (and at the expense of the Trustee
and not at the expense of the Trust Fund), within 10 Business Days of such
request; and (ii) the Master Servicer (or, at the direction of the Master
Servicer, to the appropriate Sub-Servicer), all unapplied Escrow Payments and
Reserve Funds in the possession or under the control of the Depositor or the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, that relate to
such Trust Mortgage Loan (except in the case of an Outside Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan). None of the Trustee, any
-116-
Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be liable for any
failure by a Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor to comply with the document
delivery requirements of the respective Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and
this Section 2.01(b). In addition, the Depositor hereby agrees, in the case of a
Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan that is an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, and
the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller has agreed, pursuant to the
related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the case of each
Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan that is an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan,
to deliver to and deposit with, the Master Servicer, within 45 days of the
Closing Date, a copy of the mortgage file that was delivered to the related
Outside Trustee under the related Non Trust Mortgage Loan Securitization
Agreement.
After the Depositor's transfer of the Trust Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01(a), the Depositor shall not take any action
inconsistent with the Trust's ownership of the Trust Mortgage Loans.
(c) The Depositor hereby covenants that it shall retain with respect
to each Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan), and the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller has covenanted
in the related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that it shall
retain with respect to each Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan (other than an
Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan), an Independent Person (each such Person,
a "Recording Agent") through which the Depositor or the related Unaffiliated
Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, shall: (i) promptly (and in any event
within 45 days following the later of the Closing Date and the date on which all
necessary recording information is available to the subject Recording Agent)
submit for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records
each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases in
favor of, and delivered under clause (a)(iv) of the definition of "Mortgage
File" to, the Trustee; and (ii) cause each such assignment of Mortgage and
assignment of Assignment of Leases to be delivered to the Trustee following its
return by the appropriate public office for real property records, with copies
of any such returned assignments to be delivered by the Trustee to the Master
Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor (in the case of Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loans) or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (in the case of a
Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), as applicable, at least every 90 days after the
Closing Date (or at such additional times upon the request of the Master
Servicer if reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing
of the related Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer); 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 a certified copy of the recorded original.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor may, in the case of a
Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan),
and the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller may, in the case of a
Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loan), request the Trustee to submit for recording any of the assignments of
Mortgage and/or assignments of Assignment of Leases referred to in the prior
paragraph, and in such event, the requesting party shall cause any such
unrecorded or unfiled document to be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall
promptly undertake to submit for recording or filing any such document upon its
receipt thereof.
Each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases
referred to in the prior two paragraphs that is submitted for recording shall
reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the Trustee
or its agent following recording; provided that, in those instances where
-117-
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 least every 90 days after the
Closing Date (or at additional times upon the request of the Master Servicer if
reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the
related Trust Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer) and at the expense of the
Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan, other than an Outside
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan) or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller
(in the case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan, other than an Outside Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan), the Trustee shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of
any of the aforementioned assignments of Mortgage and/or assignments of
Assignment of Leases that have been received by the Trustee.
The Depositor shall bear the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
recording referred to in the first two paragraphs of this Section 2.01(c) with
respect to the Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loans), and the related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement provides that the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller shall bear
the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the recording referred to in the first
two paragraphs of this Section 2.01(c) with respect to the Non-Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loans).
If any of the assignments of Mortgage and/or assignments of Assignment
of Leases referred to in the first two paragraphs of this Section 2.01(c)
relating to a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan) are lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect
therein, then the Trustee shall direct the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan
Seller (pursuant to the related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement)
promptly to prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or to cure
such defect, as the case may be, and to deliver to the Trustee the substitute or
corrected document. If any of the assignments of Mortgage and/or assignments of
Assignment of Leases referred to in the first two paragraphs of this Section
2.01(c) relating to a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan) are lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect
therein, then the Depositor shall promptly prepare or cause the preparation of a
substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and shall deliver
to the Trustee the substitute or corrected document. The Trustee shall upon
receipt, whether from the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller or the
Depositor, cause the same to be duly recorded.
In addition to the foregoing, the Trustee shall retain an Independent
Person (such Person, the "Filing Agent"), at the expense of XX Xxxxxx Capital
Corporation (the "Payee"), pursuant to a letter agreement dated the Closing Date
(the "Filing Letter Agreement") between the Payee, the Depositor, the UBS
Mortgage Loan Seller and the Trustee, and the Trustee shall, with respect to
each Trust Mortgage Loan, through the Filing Agent: (i) promptly (and in any
event within 45 days following the later of the Closing Date and the date on
which all necessary filing information is available to such Filing Agent)
prepare and file, in the appropriate public office for UCC Financing Statements,
an assignment of each UCC Financing Statement delivered by the Depositor (with
respect to each Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan, other than an Outside Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan), or by the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (with
respect to each Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan, other than an Outside Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan), pursuant to clause (a)(xiv) of the definition of "Mortgage
File" or otherwise to the Trustee; and (ii) cause each such assignment of UCC
Financing Statement to be delivered to the Trustee following its return by the
appropriate public filing office for UCC Financing Statements, with copies of
any such returned assignments to be delivered by the Trustee to the Master
Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan), or at the expense of the related
-118-
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (in the case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan), as applicable, at least every 90 days after the Closing Date (or at such
additional times upon the request of the Master Servicer if reasonably necessary
for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the related Trust Mortgage
Loan by the Master Servicer). Each assignment of UCC Financing Statement
referred to in the prior sentence that is filed by or on behalf of the Trustee
shall reflect that the file copy thereof should be returned to the Trustee or
its agent following filing. The Depositor (with respect to the Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loans) hereby agrees, and each Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (with
respect to its Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loans) has agreed pursuant to the
related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, to reasonably cooperate
with the Trustee (and the Filing Agent) with respect to the filing of the
assignments of UCC Financing Statements as described in this paragraph and to
forward to the Trustee filing confirmation, if any, received by such party in
connection with assignments of UCC Financing Statements filed in accordance with
this paragraph.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Trustee provides the
Payee, pursuant to the Filing Letter Agreement, with an invoice for the expenses
(i) reasonably to be incurred in connection with the preceding paragraph and
(ii) required to be paid by the Payee pursuant to the Filing Letter Agreement,
and such expenses are not paid by the Payee in advance of such filings, the
Trustee, at the expense of the Depositor (with respect to each Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan, other than an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan), and at the
expense of the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to each
Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan, other than an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loan), shall only be required to cause the Filing Agent to file the assignments
of UCC Financing Statements with respect to Trust Mortgage Loans secured by
hotel or hospitality properties.
(d) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to Section
2.01(a) above, the Depositor shall, in the case of each Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan), deliver to and
deposit with (or cause to be delivered to and deposited with), and the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller has agreed (pursuant to the related
UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), in the case of each Non-Xxxxxx
Trust Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan), to
deliver and deposit with (or cause to be delivered to and deposited with), the
Master Servicer (or, at the direction of the Master Servicer, to and with the
applicable Sub-Servicer), within 45 days of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan
Origination Documents that relate to such Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan; provided
that neither the Depositor nor any Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller shall be
required to deliver any draft documents, privileged or other communications or
correspondence, credit underwriting or due diligence analyses or information,
credit committee briefs or memoranda or other internal approval documents or
data or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations.
The Master Servicer shall review the documents with respect to each
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan delivered by the Depositor or any Unaffiliated
Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to or as contemplated by the immediately preceding
paragraph and provide to the Depositor or such Unaffiliated, Mortgage Loan
Seller, as applicable, with a copy to the Controlling Class Representative and
the Special Servicer, a certificate in the form of Exhibit V attached hereto
(the "Master Servicer Certification") within 90 days of the Closing Date
acknowledging its (or, if the Master Servicer has directed that such documents
be delivered only to the applicable Sub-Servicer, the applicable Sub-Servicer's)
receipt as of the date of the Master Servicer Certification of such documents
actually received; provided that such review shall be limited to identifying the
document received, the Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan to which it purports to
relate, that it appears regular on its face and that it appears to have been
executed
-119-
(where appropriate). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
to the extent the Depositor or an Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as
applicable, has not been notified in writing of its failure to deliver any
document with respect to a Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan required to be delivered
pursuant to or as contemplated by the immediately preceding paragraph prior to
the date occurring 18 months following the date of the Master Servicer
Certification, the Depositor or such Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller as
applicable, shall have no obligation to provide such document.
In addition, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
each Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to deliver, on the Closing Date, to
the Master Servicer for deposit in the Pool Custodial Account, the Initial
Deposit relating to each Initial Deposit Mortgage Loan, if any, being sold by
such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Master Servicer shall hold all funds, documents and records
received by it in accordance with this Section 2.01(d) (as well as any funds
received by it pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) on behalf of the Trustee in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, insofar as they also relate to
any Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, on behalf of and for the benefit of the
related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder).
(e) In connection with the obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder, with regard to each Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan that is secured by
the interests of the related Mortgagor in a hospitality property and each
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan that has a related letter of credit, the Depositor
(with respect to each such Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan that is a Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan) shall, and the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (with
respect to each such Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan) will be obligated under the related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to, deliver to and deposit with the Master Servicer, on or
before the Closing Date, any related franchise agreement and franchise comfort
letter and the original of such letter of credit.
(f) It is not intended that this Agreement create a partnership or a
joint-stock association.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of Trust Fund by Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement,
hereby accepts receipt, directly or through a Custodian on its behalf, of (i)
the Trust Mortgage Loans and all documents delivered to it that constitute
portions of the related Mortgage Files and (ii) all other assets delivered to it
and included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse
claim, and declares that it or a Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold
such documents and any other documents subsequently received by it that
constitute portions of the Mortgage Files, and that it holds and will hold the
Trust Mortgage Loans and such other assets, together with any other assets
subsequently delivered to it that are to be included in the Trust Fund, in trust
for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
To the extent that the Mortgage File for any Serviced Combination Trust Mortgage
Loan relates to a Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall also hold
such Mortgage File in trust for the use and benefit of the related Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder. In connection with the foregoing, the
Trustee hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, each Mortgage Loan
Seller and each Underwriter that, as to each Trust Mortgage Loan, (i) the
Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Documents are in its possession or the
possession of a Custodian on its behalf, and (ii) the original Mortgage Note
(or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit, the copy of
-120-
such Mortgage Note) received by it or any Custodian with respect to such Trust
Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it or by such Custodian on its behalf and (A)
appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall
not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appears to
have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Trust
Mortgage Loan.
(b) The Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall review the
documents delivered to it or such Custodian with respect to each Mortgage Loan
(such review to be conducted with respect to each document so delivered, prior
to the date that a certification or deemed certification, as applicable, is
required to be delivered in accordance with the following sentence), and the
Trustee shall, or shall cause a Custodian on its behalf to, subject to Sections
2.01, 2.02(c) and 2.02(d), certify (at the times and in the manner set forth
below) to each of the other parties hereto, each Mortgage Loan Seller and each
Underwriter and, in the case of a Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, to the
related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), that, as to each
Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically identified
in any exception report annexed to such certification or delivered with a deemed
certification, as applicable): (A) all documents specified in clauses (a)(i)
through (a)(viii) and (a)(xiv) (without regard to the second parenthetical in
such clause (a)(xiv)) of the definition of "Mortgage File" or, in the case of an
Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iii) of the
definition of "Mortgage File", are in its possession or the possession of a
Custodian on its behalf; (B) the recordation/filing contemplated by Section
2.01(c) (except in the case of an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan) has been
completed (based solely on receipt by the Trustee or by a Custodian on its
behalf of the particular recorded/filed documents); (C) 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 (1) appear regular on their face
(handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute
irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (2) appear to have been executed
(where appropriate) and (3) purport to relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (D)
based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) above and this Section
2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the
Trust Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (v)
and (vi)(B) of the definition of "Trust Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately
reflects the information set forth in the Mortgage File. The certification
referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.02(b) shall be delivered by
the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf in writing: (i) whether or not any
exceptions are noted, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (with an
exception report annexed thereto), on or about the 60th day following the
Closing Date; and (ii) if any exceptions are noted, substantially in the form of
Exhibit C hereto (with an exception report annexed thereto), upon the earliest
to occur of (X) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (Y) the day on which
all material exceptions have been removed and (Z) the day on which the Depositor
or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, has repurchased
the last affected Trust Mortgage Loan; and (iii) if any exceptions are noted
following the initial certification in clause (i) of this sentence, in the form
of an updated exception report, on or about the 90th day following the Closing
Date and monthly thereafter until the final certification in clause (ii) of this
sentence is delivered (and upon and by delivery of each such updated exception
report the Trustee shall be deemed to have made the certifications set forth in
clauses (A) through (D) of the first sentence of this Section 2.02(b) as to each
Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement, except as specifically identified
in such updated exception report). If the Trustee's obligation to deliver the
certifications contemplated in this subsection terminates because two years have
elapsed since the Closing Date, the Trustee shall (or shall cause a Custodian on
its behalf to) deliver a comparable certification, upon request, to any party
hereto, any Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder and/or any Underwriter.
-121-
(c) None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or
any Custodian is under any duty or obligation 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. Furthermore, 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.
(d) 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 (a)(i) through (a)(viii) and (a)(xiv) (or, in the case of an Outside
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iii)) of the
definition of "Mortgage File" have been received and such additional information
as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by Sections
2.02(a) and (b) above.
(e) The Trustee, directly or through a Custodian retained by it,
shall: (i) provide for the safekeeping and preservation of the Mortgage Files
with respect to the Trust Mortgage Loans; (ii) segregate such Mortgage Files
from its own assets and the assets retained by it for others; (iii) maintain
such Mortgage Files in secure and fire resistant facilities in compliance with
customary industry standards; (iv) maintain disaster recovery protocols to
ensure the preservation of such Mortgage Files in the event of force majeure;
and (v) track and monitor the receipt and movement internally and externally of
such Mortgage Files and any release and reinstatement thereof.
SECTION 2.03. Repurchase of Trust Mortgage Loans for Document Defects
and Breaches of Representations and Warranties.
(a) If any party hereto (other than the Depositor) discovers or
receives written notice, with respect to any Trust Mortgage Loan, that (i) any
document (A) constituting a part of the related Mortgage File pursuant to
clauses (a)(i) through (a)(xiii) (or, in the case of an Outside Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan, clause (b)(i)) of the definition of "Mortgage File", (B)
specifically set forth on Schedule IX hereto with respect to a Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan only or (C) specifically set forth on Exhibit D to the related
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan only, has not been executed (if applicable) or is missing (each, a
"Document Defect") or (ii) there exists a breach of any representation or
warranty of the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller made pursuant to
Section 3(b) of the related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with
respect to any Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan (a "Breach") or a breach of any
representation or warranty of the Depositor made pursuant to Section 2.04(b)
hereof with respect to any Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan (also, a "Breach"), then
such party shall give prompt written notice thereof to each Rating Agency, the
related Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto and the Controlling Class
Representative. If the Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan)
or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (in the case of a Non-Xxxxxx
Trust Mortgage Loan) receives written notice or obtains actual knowledge of a
Document Defect or a Breach with respect to any Trust Mortgage Loan, and such
Document Defect or Breach, as of the date specified in the fourth paragraph of
this Section 2.03(a), materially and adversely affects the value of the subject
Trust Mortgage Loan, then such Document Defect shall constitute a "Material
Document Defect" or such Breach shall constitute a "Material Breach", as the
case may be. In the event the Depositor obtains
-122-
actual knowledge of a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, then the
Depositor shall deliver written notification to the Trustee with respect
thereto.
Promptly upon becoming aware of any Material Document Defect or
Material Breach with respect to a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan, the Trustee
shall deliver a Seller/Depositor Notification to the related Unaffiliated
Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and shall
require the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, within the time period
and subject to the conditions provided for in the applicable Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, except as otherwise contemplated by Sections 2.03(d) and
2.03(e), to cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case
may be, in all material respects, or repurchase the affected Trust Mortgage Loan
or any related REO Property (or, in the case of an REO Property related to a
Loan Combination, the Trust's interest therein) at the applicable Purchase Price
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Pool Custodial Account.
Promptly upon becoming aware of any such Material Document Defect or Material
Breach with respect to a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall deliver a
Seller/Depositor Notification to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer, and the Depositor shall, subject to Sections 2.03(d), 2.03(e)
and 2.03(f), (A) not later than (1) 30 days after the Depositor and the Trustee
have agreed upon the existence of such Material Document Defect or Material
Breach or (2) 30 days after an arbitration panel makes a binding determination,
in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03(i), that a Material Document
Defect or Material Breach exists or (B) in the case of a Material Document
Defect or Material Breach that affects whether a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan is
or will continue to be a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of the REMIC
Provisions (a "Qualified Mortgage"), not later than 90 days following the
discovery by any party of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach (and
such 30-day or 90-day period, as applicable, in the case of clause (A)(1),
(A)(2) or (B) (with respect to a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), and any "Initial
Resolution Period", as defined in the related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement (with respect to a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), as
applicable, are each referred to herein as an "Initial Resolution Period"), (i)
cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in
all material respects (which cure shall include payment of any out-of-pocket
expenses that are reasonably incurred and directly attributable to pursuing such
a claim based on such Material Document Defect or Material Breach associated
therewith) or (ii) if any such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as
the case may be, cannot be cured within the Initial Resolution Period,
repurchase the affected Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property
(or, in the case of an REO Property related to a Loan Combination, the Trust's
interest therein) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the Pool Custodial Account; provided, however,
that if (w) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is capable of being
cured but not within the Initial Resolution Period, (x) such Material Document
Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, does not affect whether any
Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan is a Qualified Mortgage, (y) the Depositor has
commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document
Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, within the Initial Resolution
Period, and (z) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's
Certificate confirming that such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as
the case may be, is not capable of being cured within the applicable Initial
Resolution Period, setting forth what actions the Depositor is pursuing in
connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Depositor anticipates that
such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, will be
cured within an additional period not to exceed either 90 days beyond the end of
the applicable Initial Resolution Period (in the event the Depositor and the
Trustee have agreed upon the existence of such Material Document Defect or
Material Breach as described in clause (A)(1) of the second sentence of this
paragraph) or 45 days beyond the end of the applicable
-123-
Initial Resolution Period (in the event an arbitration panel has made a binding
determination, as described in clause (A)(2) of the second sentence of this
paragraph, that a Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists), then the
Depositor shall have such additional 90-day period or 45-day period, as the case
may be (such additional 90-day period or 45-day period, as the case may be (with
respect to a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), and any "Resolution Extension Period",
as defined in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (with respect to a
Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), as applicable, are each referred to herein as a
"Resolution Extension Period"), to complete such cure or, failing such, to
repurchase the affected Trust Mortgage Loan (or the related Mortgaged Property);
and provided, further, that, if any such Material Document Defect is still not
cured after the applicable Initial Resolution Period and any such applicable
Resolution Extension Period solely due to the failure of the Depositor to have
received a recorded document, then the Depositor shall be entitled to continue
to defer its cure and repurchase obligations in respect of such Material
Document Defect so long as the Depositor certifies to the Trustee every six
months thereafter that the Material Document Defect is still in effect solely
because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the
Depositor is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions
being taken). The parties acknowledge that neither delivery of a certification
or schedule of exceptions to the Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan) or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (in the case of
a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) pursuant to Section 2.02(b) or otherwise nor
possession of such certification or schedule by the Depositor (in the case of a
Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller
(in the case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) shall, in and of itself,
constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach
or knowledge or awareness by the Depositor or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage
Loan Seller, as the case may be, of any Material Document Defect or Material
Breach.
If, during the period of deferral by the Depositor of its cure and
repurchase obligations as contemplated by the last proviso of the penultimate
sentence of the preceding paragraph, or during any comparable deferral by an
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller of its cure and repurchase obligations as
provided in Section 5 of the related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, the Trust Mortgage Loan that is the subject of the Material Document
Defect either becomes a Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or becomes the
subject of a proposed or actual assumption of the obligations of the related
Mortgagor under such Trust Mortgage Loan, then (i) any party to this Agreement
that becomes aware of such event shall deliver a Seller/Depositor Notification
to such effect (unless a Seller/Depositor Notification with respect to such
event has already been delivered by another party) to the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee and either the Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx
Trust Mortgage Loan) or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (in the
case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), and (ii) the Trustee, upon becoming
aware of such event, shall deliver a Seller/Depositor Notification to the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and either the Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx
Trust Mortgage Loan) or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (in the
case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), providing notice of such event and
directing the Depositor or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as
applicable, to cure the subject Material Document Defect within 15 days of
receipt of such Seller/Depositor Notification. If, upon the expiration of such
15-day period, the Depositor or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller,
as applicable, has failed to cure the subject Material Document Defect, then the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled (but
not obligated) to perform the obligations of the Depositor or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, with respect to curing the
subject Material Document Defect; and, upon electing to perform such
obligations, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall
promptly deliver a Seller/Depositor Notification to such effect. In connection
with the
-124-
preceding sentence, the Depositor will, and each related Unaffiliated Mortgage
Loan Seller will be obligated under the related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to, pay all reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and
expenses in connection with the applicable servicer's effecting such cure.
Provided that if any Seller/Depositor Notification with respect to a
Material Document Defect or Material Breach is received by the Depositor (in the
case of a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan
Seller (in the case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 2.03, within 24 months of the Closing Date, the
material and adverse effect of the subject Document Defect or Breach shall be
determined as of the date of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements. After the
expiration of 24 months following the Closing Date, the material and adverse
effect of any Document Defect or Breach that was not the subject of another
Seller/Depositor Notification received by the Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx
Trust Mortgage Loan) or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (in the
case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 2.03, within 24 months of the Closing Date, shall be determined as
of the date of such Seller/Depositor Notification.
If, in connection with any Material Breach, the Depositor is obligated
to repurchase any Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03, or
an Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller is obligated to repurchase any Non-Xxxxxx
Trust Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, then such obligation shall extend to any REO Trust Mortgage
Loan with respect thereto; provided that (i) the subject Material Breach existed
as to the subject predecessor Trust Mortgage Loan prior to the date the related
Mortgaged Property became an REO Property or within 90 days thereafter, and (ii)
the party having the repurchase obligation had received, no later than 90 days
following the date on which the related Mortgaged Property became an REO
Property, a Seller/Depositor Notification from the Trustee regarding the
occurrence of the subject Material Breach and directing such party to repurchase
the subject Trust Mortgage Loan.
(b) In connection with the events in Section 2.03(a), the Trustee
shall prepare and deliver, in each case promptly upon becoming aware of such
event, to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and either the Depositor
(with respect to a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or the related Unaffiliated
Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), as
applicable, a Seller/Depositor Notification identifying and describing the
circumstances identified in the definition of "Seller/Depositor Notification"
(unless, in the case of an event described in clauses (iii), (iv) and/or (vi),
as applicable, of the definition of "Seller/Depositor Notification", a
Seller/Depositor Notification with respect to such event has already been
delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer). Further, in
connection with the events in Section 2.03(a), the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare and deliver, in each case
promptly upon becoming aware of such event, to the other such servicer, the
Trustee and either the Depositor (with respect to a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan)
or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to a Non-Xxxxxx
Trust Mortgage Loan), as applicable, a Seller/Depositor Notification identifying
and describing the circumstances identified in clauses (iii), (iv) and/or (vi),
as applicable, of the definition of "Seller/Depositor Notification" (unless such
notification has already been delivered). A copy of each such Seller/Depositor
Notification shall also be delivered to the Controlling Class Representative
and, in the case of an event described in clauses (v) and/or (vii) of the
definition of "Seller/Depositor Notification", to either internal counsel to the
Depositor (with respect to a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or counsel to the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to a Non-Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan), as applicable,
-125-
to the extent the Trustee, Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
knows the identity of such person.
(c) If one or more (but not all) of the Trust Mortgage Loans
constituting a Cross-Collateralized Group are to be repurchased by the Depositor
or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by this Section
2.03, then, prior to the subject repurchase, the Depositor or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, or its designee shall use
its reasonable efforts, subject to the terms of the related Trust Mortgage
Loan(s), to prepare and, to the extent necessary and appropriate, have executed
by the related Mortgagor and record, such documentation as may be necessary to
terminate the cross-collateralization between the Trust Mortgage Loan(s) in such
Cross-Collateralized Group that are to be repurchased, on the one hand, and the
remaining Trust Mortgage Loan(s) therein, on the other hand, such that those two
groups of Trust Mortgage Loans are each secured only by the Mortgaged Properties
identified in the Trust Mortgage Loan Schedule as directly corresponding
thereto; provided that no such termination shall be effected unless and until
(i) the Controlling Class Representative, if one is then acting, has consented
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed to have
been given if no written objection is received by the Depositor or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business
Days of the Controlling Class Representative's receipt of a written request for
such consent) and (ii) the Trustee has received from the Depositor or the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, (A) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such termination would not cause an Adverse REMIC
Event to occur with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event
to occur with respect to any Grantor Trust and (B) written confirmation from
each Rating Agency that such termination would not cause an Adverse Rating Event
to occur with respect to any Class of Certificates; and provided, further, that
the Depositor, in the case of Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loans, or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, in the case of Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loans, may, at its option, purchase the entire subject Cross-Collateralized
Group in lieu of effecting a termination of the cross-collateralization. All
costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee or any Person on its behalf pursuant
to this paragraph shall be included in the calculation of the Purchase Price for
the Trust Mortgage Loan(s) to be repurchased. If the cross-collateralization of
any Cross-Collateralized Group is not or cannot be terminated as contemplated by
this paragraph, then, for purposes of (i) determining whether the subject Breach
or Document Defect, as the case may be, materially and adversely affects the
value of such Cross-Collateralized Group and (ii) the application of remedies,
such Cross-Collateralized Group shall be treated as a single Trust Mortgage
Loan.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists a Breach of that
portion of the representation or warranty on the part of the Depositor set forth
in, or made pursuant to, paragraph (xlviii) of Schedule II hereto, or on the
part of the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller set forth in, or made
pursuant to, paragraph (xlviii) of Exhibit B to the related UMLS/Depositor
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in each case specifically relating to whether
or not the Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document for
any Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to bear the reasonable costs
and expenses associated with the subject matter of such representation or
warranty, as set forth in such representation or warranty, then the Master
Servicer shall (and the Special Servicer may) direct the Depositor (in the case
of a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan
Seller (in the case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) in writing to wire
transfer to the Pool Custodial Account, within 90 days of such party's receipt
of such direction, the amount of any such reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by the Trust that (i) are due from the Mortgagor, (ii) otherwise would have been
required to be paid by the Mortgagor if such representation
-126-
or warranty with respect to such costs and expenses had in fact been true, as
set forth in the related representation or warranty, (iii) have not been paid by
the Mortgagor, (iv) are the basis of such Breach and (v) constitute "Covered
Costs". Upon payment of such costs, the Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan) or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (in the case of
a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in
all respects. Provided that such payment is made, this paragraph describes the
sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf
regarding any such Breach, regardless of whether it constitutes a Material
Breach, and none of the Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan)
or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (in the case of a Non-Xxxxxx
Trust Mortgage Loan) shall be obligated to otherwise cure such Breach or
repurchase the affected Trust Mortgage Loan under any circumstances. Amounts
deposited in the Pool Custodial Account pursuant to this paragraph shall
constitute "Liquidation Proceeds" for all purposes of this Agreement (other than
Section 3.11(c)).
(e) Subject to the penultimate sentence of this paragraph and subject
to Section 2.03(d), if the Depositor determines that a Material Breach (other
than a Material Breach of a representation or warranty on the part of the
Depositor set forth in, or made pursuant to, paragraph (xvii) of Schedule II
hereto) or a Material Document Defect with respect to a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan is not capable of being cured in accordance with Section 2.03(a), or the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller determines that a Material Breach
(other than a Material Breach of a representation or warranty on the part of the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller set forth in, or made pursuant to,
paragraph (xvii) of Exhibit B to the related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement) or Material Document Defect with respect to a Non-Xxxxxx
Trust Mortgage Loan is not capable of being cured in accordance with Section
5(a) of the related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then (in
lieu of repurchasing such Trust Mortgage Loan) the Depositor or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, may, at its sole option,
pay a cash amount equal to the loss of value (each such payment, a "Loss of
Value Payment") with respect to such Trust Mortgage Loan, which loss of value is
directly attributed to such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the
case may be. 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 the subject Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the
case may be, and any of the Depositor or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan
Seller, as the case may be, or (ii) by an arbitration panel pursuant to a
binding arbitration proceeding in accordance with Section 2.03(i); provided
that, in the event there is an arbitration proceeding for determining the
existence of a Material Breach or a Material Document Defect with respect to any
Trust Mortgage Loan, such arbitration proceeding must also include a
determination of the amount of the loss of value to such Trust Mortgage Loan
directly attributed to such Material Breach or such Material Document Defect, as
the case may be. Provided that such payment is made, this paragraph describes
the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their
behalf regarding any such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, and
neither the Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) nor the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (in the case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan) shall be obligated to otherwise cure such Material Breach or
Material Document Defect or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan based on such
Material Breach or Material Document Defect under any circumstances.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(e), if 95% or more
of the loss of value to a Mortgage Loan was caused by a Material Breach or
Material Document Defect, which Material Breach or Material Document Defect is
not capable of being cured, then this Section 2.03(e) shall not apply, and the
Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (in the case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan) shall be obligated to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the
-127-
applicable Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.03(a); and, furthermore,
neither the Depositor nor the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller shall
have the option of delivering Loss of Value Payments in connection with any
Material Breach relating to a Trust Mortgage Loan's failure to be a Qualified
Mortgage. In the event there is a Loss of Value Payment made by the Depositor or
an Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, in accordance with
this Section 2.03(e), 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(e).
In the event the amount of any Loss of Value Payment is determined by
an arbitration panel pursuant to a binding arbitration proceeding in accordance
with Section 2.03(i), then such Loss of Value Payment shall also include the
payment of any costs and expenses (including costs incurred in establishing the
amount of any related loss of value to the subject Trust Mortgage Loan,
including reasonable legal fees) that are reasonably incurred in good faith by
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee (on behalf of the
Trust) in enforcing the rights of the Trust against the Depositor or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, with respect to the subject
Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be; provided that,
if the Depositor (with respect to a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan) tenders a loss of value payment in a specified amount in connection with a
Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, prior to the
institution of arbitration proceedings and that offer is rejected, and if an
amount equal to or less than the loss of value payment originally tendered by
the Depositor or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may
be, is ultimately determined by an arbitration panel pursuant to a binding
arbitration proceeding, in accordance with Section 2.03(i), to be the actual
amount of the Loss of Value Payment attributed to such Material Breach or
Material Document Defect, as the case may be, then that Loss of Value Payment
shall not include the payment of any costs or expenses incurred in enforcing the
rights of the Trust against the Depositor or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage
Loan Seller, as applicable, with respect to the subject Material Breach or
Material Document Defect, as the case may be; and provided, further, that, if
the Special Servicer requests a loss of value payment from the Depositor or the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, of a specified
amount in connection with a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the
case may be, and the Depositor or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller,
as the case may be, refuses to pay that amount, and if an amount equal to or
greater than the loss of value payment originally requested by the Special
Servicer is ultimately determined by an arbitration panel pursuant to a binding
arbitration proceeding, in accordance with Section 2.03(i), to be the actual
Loss of Value Payment attributable to such Material Document Defect or Material
Breach, then that Loss of Value Payment shall also include the payment of any
costs or expenses reasonably incurred in good faith in enforcing the rights of
the Trust against the Depositor or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan
Seller, as applicable, with respect to the subject Material Breach or Material
Document Defect, as the case may be; and provided, further, that, if the
Depositor (with respect to a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan) tenders a loss of value payment in connection with a Material Breach or
Material Document Defect, as the case may be, in a specified amount, and the
Special Servicer rejects such tender and requests a greater loss of value
payment amount, and an amount in between the respective amounts tendered and
requested is ultimately determined by an arbitration panel pursuant to a binding
arbitration proceeding, in accordance with Section 2.03(i), to be the actual
Loss of Value Payment attributable to such Material Breach or Material Document
Defect, as the case may be, then that Loss of Value Payment shall also include
the payment of an amount equal to the product of (i) all costs and expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with that arbitration proceeding,
-128-
multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of the
amount determined by that arbitration proceeding over the amount tendered by the
Depositor or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be,
and the denominator of which is the excess of the amount requested by the
Special Servicer over the amount tendered by the Depositor or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event any Loss of Value Payment is determined by the parties
hereto by mutual agreement (and not by an arbitration proceeding), that Loss of
Value Payment shall not include any costs and expenses incurred by the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee unless such costs and expenses
were specifically included in such mutual agreement.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists a Material Breach
of the representation or warranty on the part of (A) the Depositor set forth in,
or made pursuant to, paragraph (xvii) of Schedule II hereto with respect to any
Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan, or (B) the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller
set forth in, or made pursuant to, paragraph (xvii) of Exhibit B to the related
UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Non-Xxxxxx
Trust Mortgage Loan, and, in each case, the subject Mortgage Loan becomes a
Qualified Mortgage prior to the expiration of the Initial Resolution Period
applicable to a Material Document Defect or Material Breach that affects whether
a Mortgage Loan is a Qualified Mortgage, and without otherwise causing an
Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event, then such breach will be
cured and the Depositor or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the
case may be, will not be obligated to repurchase or otherwise remedy such
Breach.
(g) In connection with any purchase or repurchase of a Trust Mortgage
Loan pursuant to or otherwise as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Trustee,
the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to
the purchasing/repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt
executed by the purchasing/repurchasing entity, all portions of the Mortgage
File and other documents pertaining to such Trust Mortgage Loan possessed by it,
and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed
or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the
purchasing/repurchasing entity or its designee in the same manner, but only if
the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the
Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar
to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously
assigned to the Trustee; provided that such tender by the Trustee or by a
Custodian on its behalf shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master
Servicer of a Request for Release accompanied by a certification of a Servicing
Officer to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection
with such purchase or repurchase, as the case may be, which are required to be
deposited in the Pool Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been
deposited. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by
the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, the endorsements and
assignments contemplated by this Section 2.03(g), and such other instruments as
may be necessary or appropriate to transfer title to an REO Property or any
interest therein in connection with the repurchase of an REO Trust Mortgage Loan
and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any powers of attorney necessary to
permit the Master Servicer to do so; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master
Servicer.
(h) The related UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
provides the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect or Breach
with respect to any Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan.
-129-
This Section 2.03 provides the sole remedies available to the
Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders,
respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan. Any purchase of a Trust Mortgage Loan pursuant to or as
contemplated by this Section 2.03 shall be on a whole loan, servicing release
basis.
(i) The parties hereto agree that any controversy or claim arising
under Section 5(a), Section 5(b) and/or Section 5(g) of any UMLS/Depositor
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the
Mediation/Arbitration procedures set forth in Section 5(i) of such
UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. In addition, subject to the
prior sentence, and without intending to create any overlap between the prior
sentence and this sentence, the parties hereto further agree that any
controversy or claim (a "Dispute") involving a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan and/or
the Depositor and arising under Section 2.03(a) and/or Section 2.03(e) of this
Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the following
Mediation/Arbitration procedures set forth in this Section 2.03(i).
If the Depositor receives a Seller/Depositor Notification pursuant to
Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement regarding the alleged existence of a Material
Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan and requesting the Depositor to cure or repurchase the affected Xxxxxx
Trust Mortgage Loan in connection therewith (a "Notice"), and the Depositor does
not agree upon the existence of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach
within 90 days of receiving such Notice, then, unless otherwise agreed to by the
parties involved in the Dispute, that Dispute shall be submitted to non-binding
mediation in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph; provided, that if
the Depositor is proceeding to cure the subject Material Document Defect or
Material Breach, then that Dispute shall not be submitted to mediation until the
expiration of the related Resolution Extension Period and the failure of the
Depositor to complete such cure (unless otherwise agreed to by the parties
involved in the Dispute). Following the 90-day period referred to in the
preceding sentence and subject to the preceding proviso, any party to this
Agreement that is involved in the Dispute may send a written letter (a
"Mediation Letter") to another party to this Agreement that they wish the
mediation process to begin between the sender and the recipient of such
Mediation Letter. Following receipt of a Mediation Letter, a mediator(s) shall
be selected by agreement of the parties to the mediation. If such parties cannot
agree on a mediator, then the mediation shall be conducted by three mediators,
one of which shall be selected by the Depositor and one of which shall be
selected by the Trustee or its designee. Each of the parties to the mediation
shall submit the name of the Person it has selected to serve as a mediator to
the opposing party within 10 days of the date of the Mediation Letter. If either
party fails to submit the name of its selected mediator within 10 days of the
date of the Mediation Letter, the other party shall have the right to select the
second mediator in addition to its own mediator (provided that such party has
submitted the name of its selected mediator within 10 days of the date of the
Mediation Letter). The two mediators selected by the party(ies) shall appoint a
third mediator within 20 days of the date of the Mediation Letter or such longer
time period as agreed to by the parties to the mediation. Any mediator(s) so
designated must be acceptable to both (i) the Depositor and (ii) the Trustee,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, whichever such party is the party
to the mediation on behalf of the Trust (or such party's designee). Any
mediators appointed or selected pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph
must be experienced professionals in the CMBS industry.
Any mediation related to a particular Dispute and commenced in
accordance with the preceding paragraph must be completed within 90 days of the
date of the Mediation Letter (or a longer period, if the parties to the
mediation agreed to extend the mediation). Any mediation referred to in this
-130-
Section 2.03(i) shall be conducted in the manner specified by the mediator(s)
and agreed upon by both (i) the Depositor and (ii) the Trustee, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, whichever such party is the party to the
mediation on behalf of the Trust (or such party's designee), and any such
mediation shall be conducted in New York City to the exclusion of all other
locations (unless otherwise agreed to by the parties to the mediation). During
the mediation process, the parties to the mediation shall discuss their
differences voluntarily and in good faith and attempt, with the assistance of
the mediator(s) as a facilitator of the negotiations, to reach an amicable
resolution of the Dispute. The mediation will be treated as a settlement
discussion and therefore will be confidential. No mediator selected in
accordance with this Section 2.03(i) may testify for either party in any later
proceeding relating to the Dispute. No recording or transcript shall be made of
the mediation proceedings. The fees and expenses of all mediator(s) shall be
shared equally by the parties to the mediation; provided, however, that the
party to the mediation that is acting on behalf of the Trust in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 2.03(i) or Section 5(i) of any UMLS/Depositor
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall, if and to the extent permitted under
Section 6.03 or Section 8.05(b), as applicable, be entitled to reimbursement or
indemnification by the Trust Fund for such fees and expenses.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no party shall be
required to agree to a Dispute resolution pursuant to mediation and no decision
or resolution of a mediator or mediators shall be binding on any party unless
such decision or resolution is expressly agreed to by such party. In the event
the parties involved in the Dispute have not agreed to a Dispute resolution
pursuant to mediation at the termination of the mediation, then that Dispute
will be settled by arbitration in accordance with the succeeding paragraphs of
this Section 2.03(i).
If a Dispute has not been resolved within 90 days of the date of the
Mediation Letter (or such shorter or longer period as is expressly agreed to by
the parties to the mediation), the mediation shall terminate and the Dispute
will be settled by arbitration. Following the date of termination of mediation,
which shall be the date occurring 90 days after the date of the Mediation Letter
unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the parties to the mediation,
arbitration may be commenced by any party to this Agreement involved in the
Dispute by sending a written notice to another party to this Agreement involved
in the Dispute that they wish the arbitration process to begin with respect to
the Dispute between the sender and the recipient of such written notice. The
date any such party receives written notice in accordance with this Section
2.03(i) from another party that such party wishes to commence arbitration shall
be referred to as the "Arbitration Commencement Date". Any arbitration hereunder
shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
American Arbitration Association Rules for Large Complex Commercial Disputes
("AAA Rules"), but shall not be conducted by the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA"). Discovery will be permitted in connection with the
arbitration in accordance with the AAA Rules. In the event of a conflict, the
provisions of this Agreement will control. Such arbitration shall be conducted
before a panel of three arbitrators, regardless of the size of the Dispute. The
arbitration panel shall consist of one person selected by the Depositor and one
person selected by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
whichever such party is the party to the arbitration on behalf of the Trust (or
such party's designee). Each such party shall submit the name of the person it
has selected to serve as an arbitrator to the other party within 30 days of the
Arbitration Commencement Date (or such longer period as is expressly agreed to
by the parties to the arbitration). If either such party fails to submit the
name of its selected arbitrator within 30 days of the Arbitration Commencement
Date, then the other such party shall have the right to select the second
arbitrator in addition to its own arbitrator (provided that such party has
submitted the name of its selected arbitrator within 30 days of the Arbitration
Commencement
-131-
Date). The two arbitrators designated in accordance with the two preceding
sentences shall appoint a third arbitrator within 45 days of the Arbitration
Commencement Date (or such longer period as is expressly agreed to by the
parties to the arbitration). All arbitrators appointed or selected pursuant to
the provisions of this paragraph must be experienced professionals in the CMBS
industry. The third arbitrator shall be an Independent person who has not
previously been employed by either party and does not have a direct or indirect
interest in either party or the subject matter of the arbitration. The two (2)
arbitrators appointed by the parties to the arbitration are not required to be
neutral and it shall not be grounds for removal of either of such arbitrators or
for vacating an arbitration award that either of such arbitrators has past or
present relationships with the party that appointed such arbitrator. No
potential arbitrator may serve on the panel unless he or she has agreed in
writing to abide and be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and
the AAA Rules and to keep confidential the terms of any arbitration proceeding
related to this Agreement and the terms of any discussion, negotiation,
decision, agreement or resolution in connection therewith.
Any issue concerning the extent to which any Dispute is subject to
arbitration, or concerning the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability
of these procedures, including any contention that all or part of these
procedures are invalid or unenforceable, shall be resolved by the arbitrators.
In no event, notwithstanding that any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid or unenforceable, shall the arbitrators have the power to make an award
or impose a remedy that could not be made or imposed by a court deciding the
matter in the same jurisdiction. In no event shall the arbitrators have the
power to make an award or impose a remedy that is not contemplated by, or
conflicts with the terms and provisions of, this Agreement (other than any term
or provision of this Agreement that is held to be invalid or unenforceable).
Without limiting the foregoing, the arbitrators shall have no authority to award
treble, consequential or punitive damages of any type under any circumstances,
whether or not such damages may be available under the AAA Rules or any other
act or law. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the result of the
arbitration will be binding on the parties involved in the Dispute, and judgment
on the arbitrators' award may be entered, subject to the provisions of Section
11.04 of this Agreement, in any court of competent jurisdiction.
All mediations and arbitrations shall be conducted in New York City to
the exclusion of all other locations (unless otherwise expressly agreed to by
the parties to the subject mediation or arbitration, as applicable). The party
to an arbitration that is acting on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 2.03(i) or Section 5(i) of any UMLS/Depositor
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall, if and to the extent permitted under
Section 6.03 or Section 8.05(b), as applicable, be entitled to reimbursement or
indemnification by the Trust Fund for the fees and expenses incurred in
connection therewith.
The parties to this Agreement hereby agree to waive any right to trial
by jury fully to the extent that any such right shall now or hereafter exist
with regard to the rights and remedies contained in this Section 2.03(i);
provided, that if (i) any party to an arbitration governed by this Section
2.03(i) fails to abide by the rules or deadlines for that arbitration (as such
deadlines may be extended by express agreement of the parties to that
arbitration), or (ii) the applicable appointed arbitrators determine that the
subject Dispute cannot be resolved through arbitration either because the AAA
Rules are inapplicable to the Dispute and/or the Federal Arbitration Act is
inapplicable to the Dispute or for any other reason, then the other party (in
the case of clause (i)) or any party (in the case of clause (ii)) to this
Agreement involved in such arbitration may in its sole option, file a complaint
to resolve the Dispute through a legal proceeding and in accordance with the
provision contained in Section 11.04 hereof.
-132-
If any of the provisions of this Section 2.03(i) are determined by a
court of law to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall
remain in effect and be binding on the parties involved in the Dispute to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
(j) In the event that the Master Servicer receives notice from the
Mortgagor under any Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan that (i) such Mortgagor
intends to defease such Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan in whole on or
before the second anniversary of the Closing Date and the cash amount tendered
by such Mortgagor to purchase Defeasance Collateral or other permitted
collateral in order to defease such Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan (in
accordance with the related loan documents) is less than the Purchase Price that
would be applicable in the event of a repurchase of such Trust Mortgage Loan in
connection with a Material Breach or a Material Document Defect, or (ii) such
Mortgagor intends to partially defease such Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan
on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, or (iii) such
Mortgagor intends to defease such Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan in whole
on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date and such Mortgagor is to
tender Defeasance Collateral or such other collateral as is permitted in
connection with a defeasance under the related loan documents that does not
constitute a cash amount equal to or greater than the Purchase Price set forth
in clause (i) above, then the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee
and either the Depositor (with respect to a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to a Non-Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan) of such Mortgagor's intention, and the Trustee shall direct the
Depositor (with respect to a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan), as applicable, to repurchase (and the Depositor, with respect to a Xxxxxx
Trust Mortgage Loan, hereby agrees, and the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan
Seller, with respect to a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan, pursuant to the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, has agreed to repurchase) such Trust
Mortgage Loan at a price equal to (A) the Purchase Price that would be
applicable in the event of a repurchase of such Trust Mortgage Loan in
connection with a Material Breach or a Material Document Defect and (B) the
amount, if any, by which the proceeds from any cash defeasance deposit exceeds
the amount described in clause (A) of this sentence, upon deposit by the related
Mortgagor of Defeasance Collateral, or cash sufficient to purchase the
Defeasance Collateral, as contemplated by the related loan documents (if
applicable), but in any event no later than the related defeasance date.
(k) In connection with any repurchase of any Early Defeasance Trust
Mortgage Loan, pursuant to or as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Tax
Administrator shall in accordance with Section 9.02 effect a "qualified
liquidation" of the related Loan REMIC in accordance with the REMIC Provisions.
The Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) hereby agrees to
pay, and the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the related
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (in the case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan) is obligated to pay, all reasonable costs and expenses, including the
costs of any Opinions of Counsel, in connection with any such "qualified
liquidation" of a Loan REMIC in accordance with the REMIC Provisions.

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, will not violate the Depositor's certificate of
incorporation or by-laws or constitute a default (or an event which, 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 which 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.

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, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, 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 will 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 Trust 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.

to the Trustee with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud its present or

Loans to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01(a), 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 small
assets or capital with which to engage in and conduct its business.
(x) The Depositor does not intend to, and does not believe that
it will, incur debts or obligations beyond its ability to pay such debts
and obligations as they mature.

dissolution or bankruptcy of the Depositor are pending or contemplated.
(xii) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Depositor's
knowledge, threatened against the Depositor that, if determined adversely
to the Depositor, would prohibit the Depositor from entering into this
Agreement or that, 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.
(xiii) Except for any actions that are the express responsibility
of another party hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements,
and further except for actions that the Depositor is expressly permitted to
complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Depositor has taken all
actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the
Trust Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee.
(xiv) Immediately prior to the transfer of the Non-Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loans to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement (and assuming that
the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller transferred to the Depositor
good and marketable title to each Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan, free and
clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and other interests), (A) the
Depositor had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner and

II hereto, as of the Closing Date or such other date specified in the particular
representation and warranty, subject to the exceptions set forth on Schedule III
hereto (the headings set forth in Schedule II hereto with respect to each
representation and warranty being for convenience of reference only and in no
way limiting, expanding or otherwise affecting the scope or subject matter
thereof).
Except as expressly provided in Section 2.04(a), the Depositor does
not make any representations or warranties regarding the Non-Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loans.
(c) The representations, warranties and covenants of the Depositor set
forth in or made pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and Section 2.04(b) shall survive
the execution and delivery of this
-135-
Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the Persons for whose benefit they
were made for so long as the Trust Fund remains in existence. Upon discovery by
any party hereto of any breach of any of such representations, warranties and
covenants, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the other parties.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE TRUST FUND
SECTION 3.01. Administration of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) All of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties
are to be serviced and administered by the Master Servicer and/or the Special
Servicer hereunder. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
service and administer the Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO
Properties that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this
Agreement on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders
(or, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s)), as determined in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in accordance with:
(i) any and all applicable laws; (ii) the express terms of this Agreement; (iii)
the express terms of the respective Serviced Mortgage Loans and any and all
related intercreditor, co-lender or similar agreements (including with respect
to performing the duties of the holders of the respective Serviced Mortgage
Loans thereunder (to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement and to the
extent consistent with the Servicing Standard)); and (iv) to the extent
consistent with the foregoing, the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable in accordance with this Agreement, shall
service and administer each Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Serviced
Mortgage Loan as and when necessary and appropriate consistent with the
Servicing Standard. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to Section 3.21,
(i) the Master Servicer shall service and administer all of the Performing
Serviced Mortgage Loans and shall render such services with respect to the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as are specifically provided for herein, and
(ii) the Special Servicer shall service and administer each Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan and Administered REO Property and shall render such services with
respect to Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans as are specifically provided for
herein. All references herein to the respective duties of the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer, and to the areas in which they may exercise
discretion, shall be subject to Section 3.21.
(b) Subject to Sections 3.01(a), 3.20, 3.27 and 6.11, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have full power and authority,
acting alone (or, to the extent contemplated by Section 3.22 of this Agreement,
through subservicers), to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with the servicing and administration contemplated by Section 3.01(a)
that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, in its own
name, with respect to each of the Serviced Mortgage Loans it is obligated to
service hereunder, is authorized and empowered by the Trustee and, to the extent
provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement, each related Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan Noteholder (if any) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Trustee and such Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder or any of them, (i) any and all financing statements, continuation
statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien
created by any Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File
on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) in accordance
with the Servicing Standard and subject to Sections 3.01(a), 3.20, 6.11 and
3.27, any and all modifications, extensions, waivers, amendments or consents to
or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; (iii)
any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge or of assignment, and all other comparable instruments; and
(iv) any
-140-
and all instruments that such party may be required to execute on behalf of the
Trustee in connection with the defeasance of a Serviced Mortgage Loan as
contemplated in this Agreement. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall, at
the written request of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, promptly
execute any limited powers of attorney and other documents furnished by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that are necessary or appropriate to
enable them to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder;
provided, however, 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.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Master
Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the Trustee's written consent:
(i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee's name
without indicating the Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as applicable,
representative capacity; or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and
that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.
(c) The parties hereto acknowledge that each Loan Combination is
subject to the terms and conditions of the related Co-Lender Agreement; and,
with respect to each Loan Combination, the parties hereto further recognize the
respective rights and obligations of the Trust, as holder of the related
Combination Trust Mortgage Loan, and of the related Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s) under the related Co-Lender Agreement.
(d) With respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, in the event that
neither the related Trust Mortgage Loan nor the related REO Property (or any
interest therein) is an asset of the Trust Fund and, except as contemplated in
the second paragraph of this Section 3.01(d), in accordance with the related
Co-Lender Agreement, the servicing and administration of such Serviced Loan
Combination and any related REO Property are to be governed by a separate
servicing agreement and not by this Agreement, then (either (i) with the consent
or at the request of the holders of each Mortgage Loan comprising such Serviced
Loan Combination or (ii) if expressly provided for in the related Co-Lender
Agreement) the Master Servicer and, if such Serviced Loan Combination is then
being specially serviced hereunder or the related Mortgaged Property has become
an REO Property, the Special Servicer, shall continue to act in such capacities
under such separate servicing agreement; provided that such separate servicing
agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and/or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, and shall contain servicing and
administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing
compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of
this Agreement, except for the fact that such Serviced Loan Combination and the
related Mortgaged Property shall be the sole assets serviced and administered
thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder.
Further, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, if at any time
neither the related Trust Mortgage Loan nor any related REO Property (or any
interest therein) is an asset of the Trust Fund, and if a separate servicing
agreement with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination or any related REO
Property, as applicable, has not been entered into as contemplated by the
related Co-Lender Agreement and the prior paragraph (for whatever reason,
including the failure to obtain any rating agency confirmation required in
connection therewith pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement), and
notwithstanding that neither the related Trust Mortgage Loan nor any related REO
Property (or any interest therein) is an asset of the Trust Fund, then, unless
directed otherwise by the then current holders of the Mortgage Notes comprising
such Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer and, if applicable, the
Special Servicer shall continue to service and administer such Serviced Loan
Combination and/or any related REO Property, for the benefit of the respective
holders of such Serviced
-141-
Loan Combination, under this Agreement as if such Serviced Loan Combination or
any related REO Property were the sole assets subject hereto, with certain
references in this Agreement applicable to the Trust, the Trustee, the
Certificates, the Certificateholders (or any subgroup thereof) or any
representative of any such Certificateholders, all being construed to refer to
such similar terms as are applicable to the then current holder of the Mortgage
Note for the related Serviced Combination Trust Mortgage Loan.
(e) The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the
Servicing Standard to have prepared, executed (with the cooperation of the
Depositor, in the case of a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan, and the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, in the case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan, in obtaining requisite signatures, if applicable) and delivered by the
applicable party (and included in the Servicing File), not later than the later
of (i) 30 days following the Master Servicer's receipt of the subject franchisor
comfort letter, guaranty of payment or letter of credit and (ii) the expiration
of the period that may be required for such transfer or assignment pursuant to
the terms of the applicable franchisor comfort letter, guaranty of payment or
letter of credit, if any, (A) with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan secured
by a hospitality property (as identified on Schedule VI hereto) (and with
respect to which a franchise agreement constitutes part of the related Mortgage
File on the Closing Date), any original transfer or assignment documents
necessary to transfer or assign to the Trustee any rights under the related
franchisor comfort letter; and (B) with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan
that has a related guaranty or letter of credit that constitutes part of the
related Mortgage File on the Closing Date, any original transfer or assignment
documents necessary to transfer or assign to the Trustee any rights under the
related guaranty of payment or letter of credit. If, with respect to a Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan with a related letter of credit, it is determined by the
Master Servicer that a draw under such letter of credit has become necessary
under the terms thereof prior to the assignment under clause (B) of the
preceding sentence having been effected, then the Master Servicer shall direct
(in writing) the Depositor (in the case of a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (in the case of a Non-Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan) to make such draw or to cause such draw to be made on behalf of
the Trustee, and, the Depositor will, and each Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller
will be obligated under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, use its
best efforts to cause such draw to be made; provided that neither the Depositor
nor any Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller shall have any liability in connection
with the determination to make, or the making of, such draw (other than to remit
the proceeds of such draw to the Master Servicer).
(f) The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer to the Trustee, to the Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholders and
to each other under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an
independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or, except as
set forth in this Agreement, agent.
(g) The parties hereto acknowledge that each Outside Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan and the related Outside Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan(s) will
primarily be serviced and administered in accordance with the related Outside
Servicing Agreement, and the servicing and administrative duties of the parties
hereto with respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, any successor
REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto and any related Outside
Administered REO Property shall be limited to those expressly set forth herein.

SECTION 3.02. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
(a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
undertake reasonable efforts to collect all payments required under the terms
and provisions of the Serviced Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service
hereunder and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with the
Servicing Standard; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the
Special Servicer shall, with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan that
constitutes an ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, take any
enforcement action with respect to the payment of Additional 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
ARD Mortgage Loan is, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special
Servicer, necessary, appropriate and consistent with the Servicing Standard or
(ii) all other amounts due under such ARD Mortgage Loan have been paid, the
payment of such Additional 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 interest accrued on Advances. The
Special Servicer shall, with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans,
direct the Mortgagors to make payments directly to the Master Servicer; provided
that, in the event the Special Servicer receives a payment that should have been
made directly to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall promptly
forward such payment to the Master Servicer. Upon receipt of any such payment
with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
promptly notify the Special Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall direct the
Master Servicer as to the proper posting of such payment. Consistent with the
foregoing, the Special Servicer, with regard to a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, or the Master Servicer, with regard to a Performing Serviced Mortgage
Loan, may waive or defer any Default Charges in connection with collecting any
late payment on a Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided that without the consent of
the Special Servicer in the case of a proposed waiver by the Master Servicer, no
such waiver or deferral may be made by the Master Servicer pursuant to this
Section 3.02 if any Advance has been made as to such delinquent payment.
(b) All amounts Received by the Trust with respect to any
Cross-Collateralized Group in the form of payments from Mortgagors, Insurance
Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, shall be applied by
the Master Servicer among the Trust Mortgage Loans constituting such
Cross-Collateralized Group in accordance with the express provisions of the
related loan documents and, in the absence of such express provisions or to the
extent that such payments and other collections may be applied at the discretion
of the lender, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amounts
then "due and owing" as to each such Mortgage Loan. Except as otherwise
contemplated by the following paragraphs in this Section 3.02(b), all amounts
Received by the Trust in respect of or allocable to any particular Trust
Mortgage Loan (whether or not such Trust Mortgage Loan constitutes part of a
Cross-Collateralized Group) in the form of payments from Mortgagors, Liquidation
Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds shall be applied to
amounts due and owing under such Trust Mortgage Loan (including for principal
and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of
the related Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and/or any related loan
agreement and, in the absence of such express provisions or to the extent that
such payments and other collections may be applied at the discretion of the
lender, as follows: first, as a recovery of any related unpaid servicing
expenses and unreimbursed Servicing Advances; second, as a recovery of accrued
and unpaid interest on such Trust Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgage Rate
(net, in the case of an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, of related Outside
Servicing Fees) to, but not including, the date of
-143-
receipt (or, in the case of a full Monthly Payment from any Mortgagor, through
the related Due Date), exclusive, however, in the case of an ARD Trust Mortgage
Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, of any such accrued and unpaid
interest that constitutes Additional Interest; third, as a recovery of principal
of such Trust Mortgage Loan then due and owing, including by reason of
acceleration of such Trust Mortgage Loan following a default thereunder (or, if
a Liquidation Event has occurred in respect of such Trust Mortgage Loan, as a
recovery of principal to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal
balance); fourth, unless a Liquidation Event has occurred with respect to such
Trust 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 (including premiums on any Environmental
Insurance Policy), ground rents (if applicable) and similar items; fifth, unless
a Liquidation Event has occurred with respect to such Trust Mortgage Loan, as a
recovery of Reserve Funds to the extent then required to be held in escrow;
sixth, as a recovery of any Prepayment Consideration then due and owing under
such Trust Mortgage Loan; seventh, as a recovery of any Default Charges then due
and owing under such Trust Mortgage Loan; eighth, as a recovery of any
assumption fees, modification fees and extension fees then due and owing under
such Trust Mortgage Loan; ninth, as a recovery of any other amounts then due and
owing under such Trust Mortgage Loan (other than remaining unpaid principal and,
in the case of an ARD Trust Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date,
other than Additional Interest); tenth, as a recovery of any remaining principal
of such Trust Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid
principal balance; and, eleventh, in the case of an ARD Trust Mortgage Loan
after its Anticipated Repayment Date, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid
Additional Interest on such ARD Trust Mortgage Loan to but not including the
date of receipt; provided that, if one or more Advances previously made in
respect of a Trust Mortgage Loan have been reimbursed out of general collections
of principal on the Mortgage Pool as one or more Nonrecoverable Advances, then
collections in respect of such Trust Mortgage Loan available for application
pursuant to clauses second through eleventh of this sentence shall instead be
applied in the following order--(i) as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest
on, and principal of, such Trust Mortgage Loan, to the extent of any outstanding
P&I Advances and unpaid Master Servicing Fees in respect of such Trust Mortgage
Loan, (ii) as a recovery of the item(s) for which such previously reimbursed
Nonrecoverable Advance(s) were made (together with, but only if a Liquidation
Event has occurred with respect to such Trust Mortgage Loan, any interest on
such previously reimbursed Nonrecoverable Advance(s) that was also paid out of
general collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool), and (iii) in accordance
with clauses second through eleventh of this sentence (taking into account the
applications pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this proviso).
Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 3.02(b), all amounts
received with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination shall be applied to
amounts due and owing under the Mortgage Loans comprising such Loan Combination
(including for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the
express provisions of the related Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgage, the
related loan agreement, if any, and the related Co-Lender Agreement.
Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 3.02(b), all amounts
Received by the Trust with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan
shall be allocated among interest, principal and/or prepayment consideration due
thereon in accordance with the terms of any distribution date statement or
servicer report received from the related Outside Servicers with respect to such
Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan and, in the absence of any such statement
or report, in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement and, in the
absence of any allocation in the related Co-Lender Agreement, in accordance with
the first paragraph of this Section 3.02(b). Any nonrecoverable payment
-144-
made by an Outside Servicer to cover interest shortfalls incurred with respect
to an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan by reason of a Principal Prepayment
or other early collection of principal being applied to such Outside Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan prior to the related Due Date during the relevant Underlying
Collection Period, will be treated for purposes of this Agreement as if it was a
payment of interest by the related Mortgagor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Loss of Value Payments and Reserve
Collateral (or proceeds thereof) shall not be applied in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.02(b) unless and until such amounts are
transferred to the Pool Custodial Account, and deemed to constitute Liquidation
Proceeds in respect of a particular Trust Mortgage Loan, in accordance with
Section 3.05(e) and Section 3.27, respectively; and Liquidation Proceeds
resulting from any purchase or repurchase out of the Trust Fund of, or any
application of Loss of Value Payments to, any Trust Mortgage Loan that is part
of a Loan Combination shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the
first paragraph of this Section 3.02(b).
(c) Promptly following the Closing Date, in the case of each Outside
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall send written notice,
substantially in the form of Exhibit S hereto, to the related Outside Master
Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Trustee and
any other party under the related Outside Servicing Agreement that would
constitute a Servicer, stating (among other things) that, as of the Closing
Date, the Trustee is the holder of such Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan and
directing (i) the related Outside Master Servicer to remit to the Master
Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make
available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer (or, in the case of CMSA
reports, files and templates, to the Master Servicer with a copy to the Trustee)
all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that
are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of the
subject Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan under the related Co-Lender
Agreement and the related Outside Servicing Agreement and (ii) the related
Outside Master Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related
Outside Trustee and any other party under the related Outside Servicing
Agreement that would constitute a Servicer to forward to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee all reports, documents and other information required by the Trust
with respect to such entity, its affiliates and the subject Outside Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan because the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act and the requirements of Regulation AB. The Master Servicer
shall, upon receipt thereof, deposit into the Pool Custodial Account all amounts
received by it from any Outside Servicer or any other party under the related
Outside Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement with respect
to any Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property or
any related REO Property. In connection with the foregoing, the Master Servicer
shall provide each Outside Master Servicer wiring instructions for remittances
to the Master Servicer. In the event that, during any calendar month, the Master
Servicer fails to so receive any amounts, including (if applicable) advances,
due to the holder of an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan under the related
Co-Lender Agreement and/or the related Outside Servicing Agreement by the end of
the related Collection Period ending in such calendar month, then the Master
Servicer shall promptly (i) notify the related Outside Master Servicer and any
Outside Trustee under the related Outside Servicing Agreement that such amounts
due with respect to the subject Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or any
successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto have not been received
(specifying the amount of such deficiency), (ii) make inquiry of the related
Outside Master Servicer and any Outside Trustee under the related Outside
Servicing Agreement (and, to the extent learned, inform the Trustee) as to the
reason that such amounts have not been timely received, (iii) as and to the
extent appropriate, request that the related Outside
-145-
Master Servicer promptly remedy such failure to make a payment or an advance, as
the case may be, and (iv) make a P&I Advance with respect to such amounts as and
if required by the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.03.
Further, in accordance with Section 4.03, in the event the Master Servicer fails
to make such P&I Advance with respect to any Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loan or any successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto, then the
Trustee or, if it fails to do so, any Fiscal Agent, shall make such P&I Advance.
SECTION 3.03. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Servicing Accounts; Reserve Accounts.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, as to all Serviced Mortgage Loans,
establish and maintain one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), in which
all related Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained; provided that, in
the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, if the related Servicing Account
includes funds with respect to any other Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the Master
Servicer shall maintain a separate sub-account of such Servicing Account that
relates solely to such Serviced Loan Combination. Subject to the terms of the
related loan documents, each Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account.
Withdrawals of amounts so collected from a Servicing Account may be made (in
each case, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein in respect of the related
Serviced Mortgage Loan or, in the case of clauses (iv) and (v) below, to the
extent of interest or other income earned on such amounts) only for the
following purposes: (i) consistent with the related loan documents, to effect
the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums (including
premiums on any Environmental Insurance Policy), ground rents (if applicable)
and comparable items in respect of the respective Mortgaged Properties; (ii)
insofar as the particular Escrow Payment represents a late payment that was
intended to cover an item described in the immediately preceding clause (i) for
which a Servicing Advance was made, to reimburse the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee or any Fiscal Agent, as applicable, for such
Servicing Advance; (iii) to refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined
to be overages; (iv) following an event of default under the related Serviced
Mortgage Loan, for such other purposes as are consistent with the related loan
documents, applicable law and the Servicing Standard; (v) to pay interest, if
required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in such Servicing
Account; (vi) to pay the Master Servicer interest and investment income on
balances in such Servicing Account as described in Section 3.06, if and to the
extent not required by law or the terms of the related loan documents to be paid
to the Mortgagor; or (vii) to clear and terminate such Servicing Account at the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. To the extent
permitted by law or the applicable loan documents, funds in the Servicing
Accounts may be invested only in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to
the Mortgagors interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in the
related Servicing Accounts, if required by law or the terms of the related
Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in 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.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, as to each and every Serviced Mortgage
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 to obtain, from time to time, all bills for (or otherwise confirm) the
payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and, if the subject Serviced
Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to escrow
-146-
for such items, shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or
termination date. For purposes of effecting any such payment for which it is
responsible, the Master Servicer shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under
the terms of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (or, if such Serviced Mortgage
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, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with
the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to comply with the
requirement of the related Mortgage that the Mortgagor make payments in respect
of such items at the time they first become due and, in any event, prior to the
institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related
Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items). Subject to Section 3.11(h),
the Master Servicer shall timely make a Servicing Advance to cover any such item
which is not so paid, including any penalties or other charges arising from the
Mortgagor's failure to timely pay such items.
(c) The Master Servicer shall, as to each and every Serviced Mortgage
Loan, make a Servicing Advance with respect to the related Mortgaged Property in
an amount equal to all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting
the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items, (ii)
ground rents (if applicable), and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies
(including Environmental Insurance Policies), in each instance if and to the
extent Escrow Payments (if any) collected from the related Mortgagor are
insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor (or any related
guarantor or party entitled to exercise cure rights) has failed to pay such item
on a timely basis. All such Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the
first instance from related payments by or on behalf of the Mortgagors, and
further as provided in Section 3.05(a) and/or Section 3.05A. 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 the Mortgaged
Properties shall, for purposes of this Agreement, including the Trustee's
calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
unpaid Stated Principal Balances of the related Serviced Mortgage Loans,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. The foregoing
shall in no way limit the Master Servicer's ability to charge and collect from
the Mortgagor such costs together with interest thereon.
(d) The Master Servicer shall, as to all Serviced Mortgage Loans,
establish and maintain, as applicable, one or more accounts (the "Reserve
Accounts"), into which all related Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deposited and
retained; provided that, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, if the
related Reserve Account includes funds with respect to any other Mortgage Loan,
then the Master Servicer shall maintain a separate sub-account of such Reserve
Account that relates solely to such Serviced Loan Combination. Withdrawals of
amounts so deposited may be made (i) for the specific purposes for which the
particular Reserve Funds were delivered, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard and the terms of the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and any other
agreement with the related Mortgagor governing such Reserve Funds, (ii) to pay
the Master Servicer interest and investment income earned on amounts in the
Reserve Accounts as described below, and (iii) following an event of default
under the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, for such other purposes as are
consistent with the related loan documents, applicable law and the Servicing
Standard. To the extent permitted in the applicable loan documents, funds in the
Reserve Accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.06. Subject to the related loan documents, all Reserve
Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. Consistent with the Servicing Standard, the
Master Servicer may waive or extend the date set forth in any agreement
governing Reserve Funds by which any required repairs, capital improvements
and/or environmental remediation at the related Mortgaged Property must
-147-
be completed; provided that any waiver, any extension for more than 120 days and
any subsequent extension may only be granted with the consent of the Special
Servicer.
SECTION 3.04. Pool Custodial Account, Defeasance Deposit Account,
Collection Account, Interest Reserve Account, Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund.
(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
separate, segregated accounts (collectively, the "Pool Custodial Account"), in
which the amounts described in clauses (i) through (xi) below (which shall not
include any amounts allocable to the Non-Trust Mortgage Loans) shall be
deposited and held on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the sole benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Pool Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. The
Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Pool Custodial
Account, within one (1) Business Day of receipt (in the case of payments by
Mortgagors or other collections on the Trust Mortgage Loans) or as otherwise
required hereunder, the following payments and collections received (including
amounts Received by the Trust with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loans and/or any successor REO Trust Mortgage Loans with respect
thereto) or made by the Master Servicer or on its behalf subsequent to the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Trust
Mortgage Loans due and payable on or before the Cut-off Date, which amounts
shall be delivered promptly to the Depositor or its designee, with negotiable
instruments endorsed as necessary and appropriate without recourse, and other
than amounts required to be deposited in the Defeasance Deposit Account), or any
of the following payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on
or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal of the Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loans, including Principal Prepayments, and regardless of whether
those payments are made by the related Mortgagor, any related guarantor or
any party exercising cure rights hereunder or under any related co-lender,
intercreditor or similar agreement, out of any related Reserve Funds
maintained for such purpose, out of collections on any related Defeasance
Collateral or from any other source;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loans, including Default Interest and Additional Interest, and
regardless of whether those payments are made by the related Mortgagor, any
related guarantor or any party exercising cure rights hereunder or under
any related co-lender, intercreditor or similar agreement, out of any
related Reserve Funds maintained for such purpose, out of collections on
any related Defeasance Collateral or from any other source;
(iii) all Prepayment Consideration and late payment charges
Received by the Trust in respect of any Trust Mortgage Loan;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds Received by the Trust in respect of any Trust Mortgage
Loan or, except to the extent such proceeds are to first be deposited in an
REO Account, any REO Property;
(v) any amounts representing a reimbursement, payment and/or
contribution due and owing to the Trust from any Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement;
-148-
(vi) all remittances, including (if applicable) advances, to the
Trust under the related Outside Servicing Agreement and/or the related
Co-Lender Agreement with respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loan or any successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto;
(vii) 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 Pool Custodial Account;
(viii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(b) in connection
with losses on the Mortgage Pool resulting from a deductible clause in a
blanket or master force placed hazard insurance policy;
(ix) any Reserve Collateral or proceeds thereof required to be
transferred to the Pool Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.27 and any
amounts required to be transferred from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund
pursuant to Section 3.05(e), any Loan Combination Custodial Account
pursuant to Section 3.05A or the Pool REO Account pursuant to Section
3.16(c);
(x) insofar as they do not constitute Escrow Payments, any
amounts paid by a Mortgagor with respect to a Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan
specifically to cover items for which a Servicing Advance has been made;
and
(xi) the Initial Deposits, if any;
provided that any amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv), (viii) and (x)
above that relate to a Serviced Combination Trust Mortgage Loan or any successor
REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto (other than Liquidation Proceeds
derived from the Permitted Purchase of such Trust Mortgage Loan or the Trust's
interest in any related REO Property) shall be deposited in the applicable Loan
Combination Custodial Account, and, in any such case, shall thereafter be
transferred to the Pool Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.05A, together
with any other amounts required to be transferred from such Loan Combination
Custodial Account to the Pool Custodial Account from time to time pursuant to
Section 3.05A.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Pool Custodial Account
shall be exclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, actual payments from
Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds, assumption fees,
assumption application fees, funds representing a Mortgagor's payment of costs
and expenses associated with assumptions and defeasance, modification fees,
extension fees, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, amounts collected
for checks returned for insufficient funds and any similar fees (other than
Prepayment Consideration) not expressly referred to in the prior paragraph need
not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Pool Custodial Account. If the
Master Servicer shall deposit in the Pool Custodial Account any amount not
required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from
the Pool Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Special
Servicer, as additional special servicing compensation in accordance with
Section 3.11(d), all assumption fees and assumption application fees (or the
applicable portions thereof), and other transaction fees received by the Master
Servicer to which the Special Servicer is entitled pursuant to such section upon
receipt of a written statement (on which the Master Servicer is entitled to
rely) of a Servicing Officer of the Special
-149-
Servicer describing the item and amount (unless pursuant to this Agreement it is
otherwise clear that the Special Servicer is entitled to such amounts, in which
case a written statement is not required). The Pool Custodial Account shall be
maintained as a segregated account, separate and apart from trust funds created
for mortgage-backed securities of other series and the other accounts of the
Master Servicer.
Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through
(v) and (x) of the second preceding paragraph with respect to any Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than
two (2) Business Days after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer
for deposit into the Pool Custodial Account in accordance with the second
preceding paragraph (or, if applicable, in the case of a Serviced Combination
Trust Mortgage Loan, into the applicable Loan Combination Custodial Account in
accordance with Section 3.04A(a) and the proviso to 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 or other appropriate reason. 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 or
other appropriate reason. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with
respect to an Administered REO Property (other than an Administered REO Property
that relates to a Serviced Loan Combination) shall be deposited by the Special
Servicer into the Pool REO Account and thereafter remitted to the Master
Servicer for deposit into the Pool Custodial Account as and to the extent
provided in Section 3.16(c).
If and when any Mortgagor under any Defeasance Mortgage Loan that is
also a Serviced Mortgage Loan elects to defease all or any part of its Serviced
Mortgage Loan and, pursuant to the provisions of the related loan documents,
delivers cash to the Master Servicer to purchase the required Defeasance
Collateral, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
separate segregated accounts or sub-accounts (collectively, the "Defeasance
Deposit Account"), in which the Master Servicer shall deposit such cash within
one (1) Business Day of receipt by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer
shall retain such cash in the Defeasance Deposit Account pending its prompt
application to purchase Defeasance Collateral. The Master Servicer shall hold
such cash and maintain the Defeasance Deposit Account on behalf of the Trustee
and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), to secure payment on the related Defeasance
Mortgage Loan. The Defeasance Deposit Account shall be an Eligible Account and
may be a sub-account of the Pool Custodial Account. To the extent permitted by
law or the applicable Defeasance Mortgage Loan, prior to the purchase of
Defeasance Collateral, funds in the Defeasance Deposit Account may be invested
only in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06.
The Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the related Mortgagor(s)
interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in the Defeasance Deposit
Account, if required by law or the terms of the related Defeasance Mortgage
Loan(s). Notwithstanding that the Defeasance Deposit Account may be a
sub-account of the Pool Custodial Account for reasons of administrative
convenience, the Defeasance Deposit Account and the Pool Custodial Account
shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations and
responsibilities of the Master Servicer hereunder), be considered to be and
shall be required to be treated as, separate and distinct accounts. The Master
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund against any losses
arising out of the failure by the Master Servicer to perform its duties and
obligations hereunder as if such accounts were separate accounts. The provisions
of the prior two (2) sentences shall survive any resignation or removal of the
Master Servicer and appointment of a successor master servicer.
-150-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Master Servicer
receives cash to purchase Defeasance Collateral for any Early Defeasance Trust
Mortgage Loan that the Depositor or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan
Seller, as applicable, is required to repurchase pursuant to or as otherwise
contemplated by Section 2.03(j), the Master Servicer shall retain such cash in
the Defeasance Deposit Account on behalf of the Trust Fund until the Depositor
or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, tenders the
full Purchase Price in connection with such repurchase and shall, on the date of
such repurchase, transfer such cash to the Depositor or the related Unaffiliated
Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable.
(b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more separate,
segregated trust accounts (collectively, the "Collection Account") to be held in
trust for the sole benefit of the Certificateholders. Each account that
constitutes the Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. Subject to
Section 2.05(b), the Trustee shall establish and maintain, on a book-entry
basis, the "Class V Sub-Account", which sub-account shall be deemed to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class V Certificates. The Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee each month on or before the Trust Master
Servicer Remittance Date therein, for deposit in the Collection Account, an
aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to the Master Servicer
Remittance Amount for such Trust Master Servicer Remittance Date, together with,
in the case of the Final Distribution Date, any additional amounts contemplated
by Section 9.01 and any Loss of Value Payments contemplated by Section 3.05(e).
Immediately upon deposit of the Master Servicer Remittance Amount for any Trust
Master Servicer Remittance Date into the Collection Account, subject to Section
2.05(b), any portion thereof that represents Additional Interest shall be deemed
to have been deposited into the Class V Sub-Account.
In addition, the Master Servicer shall, as and when required
hereunder, deliver to the Trustee (without duplication) for deposit in the
Collection Account:
(i) any P&I Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer
in accordance with Section 4.03(a); and
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.19(a) in connection with Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
The Trustee shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Collection Account any
and all amounts received by it that are required by the terms of this Agreement
to be deposited therein. In addition, as and when required pursuant to Section
3.06, the Trustee shall (in all cases prior to distributions on the Certificates
being made on the related Distribution Date) deposit in the Collection Account
any amounts required to be so deposited by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.06
in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of
funds held in the Collection Account.
In the event that the Master Servicer fails, on any Trust Master
Servicer Remittance Date, to remit to the Trustee any amount(s) required to be
so remitted to the Trustee hereunder by such date, the Master Servicer shall pay
the Trustee, for the account of the Trustee, interest, calculated at the Prime
Rate, on such amount(s) not timely remitted, from and including that Trust
Master Servicer Remittance Date, to but not including the related Distribution
Date.
On the Trust Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of each year
(commencing in March 2008), the Trustee shall transfer from the Interest Reserve
Account to the Collection Account all
-151-
Interest Reserve Amounts then on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account with
respect to the Interest Reserve Mortgage Loans and any Interest Reserve REO
Mortgage Loans.
As and when required pursuant to Section 3.05(d), the Trustee shall
transfer monies from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to the Collection
Account.
(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more separate,
segregated accounts (collectively, the "Interest Reserve Account"), to be held
in trust for the sole benefit of the Certificateholders, for purposes of holding
the Interest Reserve Amounts in respect of the Interest Reserve Mortgage Loans
and any Interest Reserve REO Mortgage Loans. Each account that constitutes the
Interest Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account. On each Distribution Date
in February and, during a year that is not a leap year, in January, commencing
in February 2008, prior to any distributions being made in respect of the
Certificates on the subject Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from
the Collection Account and deposit in the Interest Reserve Account with respect
to each Interest Reserve Mortgage Loan and Interest Reserve REO Mortgage Loan,
an amount equal to the Interest Reserve Amount, if any, in respect of such
Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, for such Distribution
Date; provided that no such transfer of funds shall occur if the subject
Distribution Date is the Final Distribution Date. In addition, as and when
required pursuant to Section 3.06, the Trustee shall (in any event prior to any
distributions on the Certificates and any transfers to the Collection Account on
or before the related Distribution Date) deposit in the Interest Reserve Account
any amounts required to be so deposited by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.06
in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of
funds held in the Interest Reserve Account. Subject to the next paragraph, the
Interest Reserve Account may be a sub-account of the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding that the Interest Reserve Account may be a sub-account
of the Collection Account for reasons of administrative convenience, the
Interest Reserve Account and the Collection Account shall, for all purposes of
this Agreement (including the obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee
hereunder), be considered to be and shall be required to be treated as, separate
and distinct accounts. The Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust
Fund against any losses arising out of the failure by the Trustee to perform its
duties and obligations hereunder as if such accounts were separate accounts. The
provisions of this paragraph shall survive any resignation or removal of the
Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee.
(d) If any Excess Liquidation Proceeds are received on the Mortgage
Pool, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more separate, segregated
accounts (collectively, the "Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account") to be held in
trust for the sole benefit of the Certificateholders, for purposes of holding
such Excess Liquidation Proceeds. Each account that constitutes the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account shall be an Eligible Account. On each Trust Master
Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Pool
Custodial Account and remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account all Excess Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the
Mortgage Pool during the related Collection Period ending in the calendar month
in which such Trust Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs. In addition, as and
when required pursuant to Section 3.06, the Trustee shall (in any event prior to
any transfers to the Collection Account on or before the related Distribution
Date) deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account any amounts required to
be so deposited by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with
losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the
Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account. Subject to
-152-
the next paragraph, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account may be a sub-account
of the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding that the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account may be a
sub-account of the Collection Account for reasons of administrative convenience,
the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and the Collection Account shall, for
all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations and responsibilities
of the Trustee hereunder), be considered to be and shall be required to be
treated as, separate and distinct accounts. The Trustee shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust Fund against any losses arising out of the failure by the
Trustee to perform its duties and obligations hereunder as if such accounts were
separate accounts. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee.
(e) If any Loss of Value Payments are received in connection with a
Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, pursuant to or
as contemplated by Section 2.03(e), the Special Servicer shall establish and
maintain one or more non-interest bearing separate, segregated accounts
(collectively, the "Loss of Value Reserve Fund") to be held in trust for the
sole 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. The Special Servicer shall, upon receipt, deposit
in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund all Loss of Value Payments received by it.
(f) Funds (other than the Initial Deposits) in the Pool Custodial
Account, the Collection Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account may be invested only in Permitted Investments in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Funds in the Loss of Value
Reserve Fund shall remain uninvested. The Master Servicer shall give notice to
the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Rating Agencies of the location of the
Pool Custodial Account as of the Closing Date and of the new location of the
Pool Custodial Account prior to any change thereof. As of the Closing Date, the
Collection Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account shall be located at the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office. The
Trustee shall give notice to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Rating Agencies of any change in the location of the Collection Account, the
Interest Reserve Account or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account prior to any
change thereof.
SECTION 3.04A. Loan Combination Custodial Accounts for Serviced Loan
Combinations.
(a) With respect to each Serviced Loan Combination, the Master
Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more separate, segregated accounts
(collectively, with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination, the related "Loan
Combination Custodial Account") in which the amounts described in clauses (i)
through (ix) below, insofar as they are related to one or more Mortgage Loans
included in such Serviced Loan Combination, shall be deposited and held in trust
for the sole benefit of the holders of such Mortgage Loans, as their interests
may appear; provided that, subject to the last paragraph of this Section
3.04A(a), each Loan Combination Custodial Account may be a sub-account of the
Pool Custodial Account. Each Loan Combination Custodial Account shall be an
Eligible Account or, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 3.04A(a), a
sub-account of an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause
to be deposited in each Loan Combination Custodial Account, within one (1)
Business Day of receipt (in the case of payments or other collections on the
related
-153-
Serviced Loan Combination) or as otherwise required hereunder, the following
payments and collections received or made by the Master Servicer or on its
behalf with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination subsequent to the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on such Serviced
Loan Combination due and payable on or before the Cut-off Date, which payments
shall be held pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, and
other than amounts required to be deposited in the Defeasance Deposit Account):
(i) all payments on account of principal of the related Serviced
Loan Combination, including Principal Prepayments, and regardless of
whether those payments are made by the related Mortgagor, any related
guarantor or any party exercising any cure rights hereunder or under the
related Co-Lender Agreement or any related mezzanine intercreditor
agreement, out of any related Reserve Funds maintained for such purpose,
out of collections on any related Defeasance Collateral or from any other
source;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the related Serviced
Loan Combination, including Default Interest and Additional Interest, and
regardless of whether those payments are made by the related Mortgagor, any
related guarantor, or any party exercising any cure rights hereunder or
under the related Co-Lender Agreement or any related mezzanine
intercreditor agreement, out of any related Reserve Funds maintained for
such purpose, out of collections on any related Defeasance Collateral or
from any other source;
(iii) all Prepayment Consideration and/or late payment charges
received in respect of the related Serviced Loan Combination;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of the related Serviced Loan
Combination or, except to the extent such proceeds are to first be
deposited in a Loan Combination REO Account, any related Administered REO
Property;
(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 Loan Combination 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

a deductible clause in a blanket or master force placed hazard insurance
policy;
(vii) any amounts required to be transferred from the Loan
Combination REO Account established with respect to the related Serviced
Loan Combination pursuant to Section 3.16(c);
(viii) insofar as they do not constitute Escrow Payments, any
amounts paid by the related Mortgagor with respect to the related Serviced
Loan Combination specifically to cover items for which a Servicing Advance
has been made; and
-154-
(ix) any amounts representing a reimbursement, payment and/or
contribution due and owing to a party other than the Trust from any related
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder in accordance with the related Co-Lender
Agreement;
provided that, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, any Liquidation
Proceeds derived from a Permitted Purchase of the Trust Mortgage Loan included
in such Serviced Loan Combination or the Trust's interest in any related REO
Property, shall in each case be deposited into the Pool Custodial Account.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in each Loan Combination
Custodial Account shall be exclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, actual
payments from the related Mortgagor in respect of the related Serviced Loan
Combination in the nature of Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds, assumption fees,
assumption application fees, funds representing such Mortgagor's payment of
costs and expenses associated with assumptions and defeasance, modification
fees, extension fees, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, amounts
collected for checks returned for insufficient funds and any similar fees to
which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer is entitled as additional
servicing compensation and that are not expressly referred to in the prior
paragraph, need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the subject Loan
Combination Custodial Account. If the Master Servicer shall deposit into any
Loan Combination Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited
therein, then it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Custodial
Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master
Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Special Servicer, as additional special
servicing compensation in accordance with Section 3.11(d), all assumption fees
and assumption application fees (or the applicable portions thereof) and other
transaction fees received by the Master Servicer with respect to each Serviced
Loan Combination, to which the Special Servicer is entitled pursuant to such
section, upon receipt of a written statement of a Servicing Officer of the
Special Servicer (upon which the Master Servicer may, absent manifest error,
rely) describing the item and amount (unless pursuant to this Agreement it is
otherwise clear that the Special Servicer is entitled to such amounts, in which
case a written statement is not required). Each Loan Combination Custodial
Account shall be maintained as a segregated account, separate and apart from
trust funds created for mortgage-backed securities of other series and the other
accounts of the Master Servicer.
Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through
(iv), (viii) and (ix) of the second preceding paragraph with respect to any
Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event
later than two (2) Business Days after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master
Servicer for deposit into the related Loan Combination Custodial Account in
accordance with the second preceding paragraph (or, if applicable, into the Pool
Custodial Account in accordance with Section 3.04(a) and the proviso to 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 or other appropriate reason. 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 or other appropriate reason. Any such amounts received
by the Special Servicer with respect to an Administered REO Property that
relates to a Serviced Loan Combination shall initially be deposited by the
Special Servicer into the Loan Combination REO Account established with respect
to such Serviced Loan Combination and thereafter remitted to the Master Servicer
for deposit into the related Loan Combination Custodial Account, all in
accordance with Section 3.16(c).
-155-
Notwithstanding that a Loan Combination Custodial Account may be a
sub-account of the Pool Custodial Account for reasons of administrative
convenience, such Loan Combination Custodial Account and the Pool Custodial
Account shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations and
responsibilities of the Master Servicer hereunder), be considered to be and
shall be required to be treated as, separate and distinct accounts. The Master
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund and the respective
related Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholders against any losses arising out of
the failure by the Master Servicer to perform its duties and obligations
hereunder as if such accounts were separate accounts. The provisions of this
paragraph shall survive any resignation or removal of the Master Servicer and
appointment of a successor master servicer.
(b) If and when the related Mortgagor elects to defease any Serviced
Loan Combination or any portion thereof, the provisions of the next to last
paragraph of Section 3.04(a) relating to the Defeasance Deposit Account shall
apply.
(c) In connection with each Serviced Loan Combination, the Master
Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the related Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s) and the Special Servicer of the location of the related Loan
Combination Custodial Account when first established and of the new location of
the related Loan Combination Custodial Account prior to any change thereof.

the Special Servicer, the Trustee (for example, the Trustee Fee) or such Fiscal
Agent, as the case may be, is clearly required pursuant to this Agreement, in
which case a written statement is not required). The Master Servicer may, absent
manifest error, rely conclusively on any such written statement and shall have

which such party is seeking payment or reimbursement and setting forth the
provision(s) of the related Co-Lender Agreement pursuant to which such party
believes it is entitled to reimbursement; provided that the Master Servicer may
not condition payments required to be made to a Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder or an Outside Servicer in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(xvii) upon
receipt of such a written statement (other than as permitted under the related
Co-Lender Agreement); and provided, further, that to the extent such a written
statement from an officer of the subject Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder or
Outside Servicer, as the case may be, is received by the Master Servicer, the
Master Servicer may, absent manifest error, rely upon such statement as the
nature and amount of the item for which reimbursement is sought.
The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting for
each Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan and Administered REO Property, on a
loan-by-loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any request for withdrawal
from the Pool Custodial Account. With respect to each Trust Mortgage Loan for
which it makes an Advance, each of the Trustee and any Fiscal Agent shall keep
and maintain separate accounting, on a loan-by-loan basis, for the purpose of
justifying any request for withdrawal from the Pool Custodial Account for
reimbursements of Advances or payments of interest thereon.
(b) The Trustee may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the

respect to any Administered REO Property related to the subject Serviced
Loan Combination pursuant to Section 3.17(d) (to the extent that it has not

extent provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement) to be made pursuant to
this clause (xii) out of: first, to the maximum extent permitted under the

Agreement) to be made pursuant to this clause (xvi) out of: first, to the
maximum extent permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement, any amounts
on deposit in the related Loan Combination Custodial Account that would

Combination or any successor REO Mortgage Loan(s) with respect thereto);
(xvii) to the extent (A) consistent with the Co-Lender Agreement
for the subject Serviced Loan Combination and (B) not otherwise included
among the payments contemplated by clause (i) above of this Section 3.05A,
to transfer to the Pool Custodial Account the aggregate of all Additional
Trust Fund Expenses and/or any other amounts relating to the subject
Serviced Loan Combination, that have been previously paid out of the Pool
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a) and that, if not previously
paid out of the Pool Custodial Account in accordance with Section 3.05(a),
would have been otherwise payable from such Loan Combination Custodial
Account under this Section 3.05A;
(xviii) if the related Co-Lender Agreement permits any related
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder to cure defaults under the Trust
Mortgage Loan included in the subject Serviced Loan Combination, to
reimburse any amounts paid by the applicable Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder in connection with exercising such cure rights, such Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan Noteholder's right to reimbursement under this clause (xviii)
to be limited to
-172-
amounts on deposit in the related Loan Combination Custodial Account that
represent collections on the subject Serviced Loan Combination that are
specifically allocable to such reimbursement in accordance with the related
Co-Lender Agreement; and
(xix) to clear and terminate such Loan Combination Custodial
Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting
records in connection with any withdrawal from each Loan Combination Custodial
Account pursuant to clauses (ii) through (xviii) of the preceding paragraph.
(b) The Master Servicer shall pay to each of the Special Servicer (or
to third-party contractors at the direction of the Special Servicer), the
Trustee or any Fiscal Agent, as applicable, from each Loan Combination Custodial
Account, amounts permitted to be paid thereto from such account promptly upon
receipt of a written statement of (i) a Servicing Officer of the Special
Servicer or (ii) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or such Fiscal Agent, as
the case may be, in each case describing the item and amount to which the
Special Servicer (or such third-party contractor), the Trustee or such Fiscal
Agent, as the case may be, is entitled (unless such payment to the Special
Servicer, the Trustee or such Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, is clearly
required pursuant to this Agreement, in which case written statements shall not
be required). The Master Servicer may, absent manifest error, rely conclusively
on any such written statement and shall have no duty to re-calculate the amounts
stated therein. The parties seeking payment pursuant to this section shall each
keep and maintain separate accounting for the purpose of justifying any request
for withdrawal from each Loan Combination Custodial Account, on a loan-by-loan
basis.
In the case of each Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer
shall remit or cause to be remitted to each Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder, within one (1) Business Day of the Master Servicer's receipt
thereof, late collections (not including Principal Prepayments) received on the
related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan subsequent to the related Determination
Date therefor in any particular month (exclusive of any portion of such amount
payable or reimbursable to any third party in accordance in accordance with this
Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement), to the extent such amount is not
otherwise included or scheduled to be included in a normal monthly remittance
during such month to such Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder and in
respect of which an advance is required to be made or has been made by a service
provider of the related securitization trust.
To the extent (i) consistent with the Co-Lender Agreement for the
related Serviced Loan Combination and (ii) not otherwise included as part of the
normal monthly remittance, the Master Servicer shall transfer from each Loan
Combination Custodial Account to the Pool Custodial Account, promptly upon
amounts for such purposes becoming available in such Loan Combination Custodial
Account, the aggregate of all Additional Trust Fund Expenses and/or any other
amounts relating to such Serviced Loan Combination, that have been previously
paid out of the Pool Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a) and that, if
not previously paid out of the Pool Custodial Account in accordance with Section
3.05(a), would have been otherwise payable from such Loan Combination Custodial
Account under this Section 3.05A.
In accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement for each Serviced Loan
Combination, the Master Servicer shall, as and when required thereunder (or, if
no date is specified therein, on each
-173-
applicable Loan Combination Master Servicer Remittance Date), withdraw from the
related Loan Combination Custodial Account and (i) transfer to the Pool
Custodial Account all amounts required to be remitted to the Trust with respect
to the Trust Mortgage Loan included in such Serviced Loan Combination and/or any
successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto, pursuant to the related
Co-Lender Agreement, and (ii) remit to the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage
Loan Noteholder(s) all amounts required to be remitted thereto with respect to
the Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan(s) included in such Serviced Loan
Combination and/or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto,
pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement. Monthly remittances to the
holder(s) of the Non-Trust Mortgage Loan(s) included in any Serviced Loan
Combination and/or any successor REO Mortgage Loan(s) with respect thereto
shall, in each case, be made as and when required under the related Co-Lender
Agreement (or, if no date is specified therein, on the applicable Loan
Combination Master Servicer Remittance Date) in accordance with the reasonable
instructions of such respective holder(s), including as to the method of payment
(which shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds).
In connection with each Serviced Loan Combination that includes any
Specially Designated Securitized Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer
fails, on or before any applicable Loan Combination Master Servicer Remittance
Date for such Loan Combination, to remit to the holder of such Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan any amount(s) required to be so remitted to such holder hereunder
on or before such date, the Master Servicer shall pay to such holder, for the
account of such holder, interest, calculated at the federal funds rate (or such
other rate as may be provided for under the related Co-Lender Agreement), on
such amount(s) not timely remitted, from and including such Loan Combination
Master Servicer Remittance Date to but not including the date on which the
required remittance is made.
SECTION 3.06. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the
Servicing Accounts, the Reserve Accounts, the Defeasance Deposit Account, the
Custodial Accounts, the REO Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account and the
Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account.
(a) (i) The Master Servicer may direct in writing any depository
institution maintaining a Servicing Account, a Reserve Account, the Defeasance
Deposit Account or a Custodial Account (any of the foregoing accounts listed in
this clause (i), a "Master Servicer Account"), (ii) the Special Servicer may
direct in writing any depository institution maintaining an REO Account, and
(iii) the Trustee may direct (pursuant to a standing order or otherwise) any
depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Interest Reserve
Account or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account (any of the foregoing
accounts listed in this clause (iii), a "Trustee Account"; and any of the Master
Servicer Accounts, the REO Accounts and Trustee Accounts, an "Investment
Account"), to invest, or if it is such depository institution, may itself
invest, the funds held therein (other than, in the case of the Pool Custodial
Account and the Collection Account, the Initial Deposits) in one or more
Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing,
unless payable on demand, (x) 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 (y) if and to the
extent that the depository institution maintaining such Investment Account is
the obligor on such investment, no later than the time and date as of which such
funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement
(but in any event prior to distributions on the Certificates or any transfers to
another Investment Account being made on or before the related Distribution
Date); provided that in the
-174-
case of any Servicing Account, any Reserve Account or the Defeasance Deposit
Account, such investment direction shall be subject to the related loan
documents and applicable law.
All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless
payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be
made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) and, in the case of a
Permitted Investment in any Investment Account solely related to a Serviced Loan
Combination, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s). The
Master Servicer (with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts in the Master
Servicer Accounts) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Permitted
Investments of amounts in the REO Accounts), on behalf of the Trustee and, in
the case of any Investment Account solely related to a Serviced Loan
Combination, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), or the
Trustee in its capacity as such (in the case of any Trustee Account), 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 a
"certificated security", "uncertificated security" or "deposit account". The
Trustee hereby designates the Master Servicer (with respect to Permitted
Investments of amounts in the Master Servicer Accounts) and the Special Servicer
(with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts in the REO Accounts), as
applicable, as the Person that shall be the "entitlement holder" and maintain
"control" as set forth under clauses (i) and (ii) above. For purposes of this
Section 3.06(a), (i) the terms "entitlement holder", "security entitlement",
"control" (except with respect to deposit accounts), "certificated security" and
"uncertificated security" shall have the meanings given such terms in Revised
Article 8 (1994 Revision) of the UCC, and the terms "control" (with respect to
deposit accounts) and "deposit account" shall have the meanings given such terms
in Revised Article 9 (1998 Revision) of the UCC, and (ii) "control" of any
Permitted Investment in any Investment Account by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer shall constitute "control" by a Person designated by, and
acting on behalf of, the Trustee and, in the case of any Investment Account
solely related to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), for purposes of Revised Article 8 (1994 Revision)
of the UCC or Revised Article 9 (1998 Revision) of the UCC, as applicable. 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 any
Master Servicer Account), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Accounts)
or the Trustee (in the case of any Trustee Account) shall:
(x) 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 at least the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable
thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such
date; and
(y) 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 any of the Master Servicer Accounts, 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 related Investment Period (and,
in the case of Servicing Accounts, Reserve Accounts and the Defeasance Deposit
Account, to the extent not otherwise payable to Mortgagors under applicable law
or the related loan documents), shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of
the Master Servicer and shall be subject
-175-
to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.03(a), 3.03(d), 3.04(a),
3.04A(b), 3.05(a) or 3.05A, as applicable. Whether or not the Special Servicer
directs the investment of funds in any of the REO Accounts, 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 related
Investment 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 any of
the Trustee Accounts, 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 related Investment Period, shall be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal in
accordance with Section 3.05(b), 3.05(c) or 3.05(d), as the case may be. 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 (i) the Servicing
Accounts, the Reserve Accounts and the Defeasance Deposit Account (except to the
extent that any investment of funds with respect thereto is at the direction of
a Mortgagor in accordance with the related loan documents or applicable law) and
(ii) the Custodial Accounts), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO
Accounts) and the Trustee (in the case of any Trustee Account) shall promptly
deposit therein from its own funds, without right of reimbursement, no later
than the end of the related Investment Period, during which such loss was
incurred, the amount of the Net Investment Loss, if any, for such Investment
Account for such Investment Period. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.06, no party shall be required under this Agreement
to deposit any loss on a deposit of funds in an Investment Account if such loss
is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state
chartered depository institution or trust company with which such deposit was
maintained so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the
conditions set forth in the definition of "Eligible Account" at the time such
deposit was made and also as of a date no earlier than 30 days prior to the
insolvency.
(c) Except as expressly provided otherwise 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, the Trustee may, and subject to Section 8.02, upon the request of
the Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to
any Class, shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment
or performance, including 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 the calculation
of the Available Distribution Amount and the Master Servicer Remittance Amount,
the amounts so invested shall be deemed to remain on deposit in such Investment
Account.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Deposits shall remain
uninvested.
SECTION 3.07. Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions
and Fidelity Coverage; Environmental Insurance.
(a) The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with
the Servicing Standard, to cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property
that secures a Serviced Mortgage Loan and is not an REO Property, all insurance
coverage as is required under the related Mortgage Loan (except to the extent
that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance
Default); provided that, if and to the extent that any such Mortgage permits the
holder thereof any
-176-
discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise) as to the insurance
coverage that the related Mortgagor is required to maintain, the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall exercise such discretion in a
manner consistent with the Servicing Standard; and provided, further, that, if
and to the extent that a Mortgage so permits, the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to require the
related Mortgagor to obtain the required insurance coverage from Qualified
Insurers that have, in each such case, the applicable Required Insurer Rating;
and provided, further, that the Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained,
with Qualified Insurers that have, in each such case, the applicable Required
Insurer Rating, for any such Mortgaged Property any such insurance that the
related Mortgagor is required but fails to maintain, but only to the extent that
(i) the Trustee (as mortgagee of record on behalf of the Certificateholders or,
in the case of a Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Loan Combination,
the Certificateholders and the related Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s))
has an insurable interest, and (ii) either (A) such insurance is available at a
commercially reasonable rate, or (B) solely in the case of all-risk insurance or
other insurance that covers losses from acts of terrorism, the failure by the
Mortgagor to maintain such insurance has not been determined by the Special
Servicer, based on due inquiry in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to
constitute an Acceptable Insurance Default. In determining whether any insurance
coverage is available or is available at reasonable rates, the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent consistent with the
Servicing Standard, be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such
determination and any such determinations by the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as the case may be, must be made not less frequently (but need not be
made more frequently) than annually (or such other lesser period as may be
required by the Servicing Standard) but in any event shall be made at the
approximate date on which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case
may be, receives notice of the renewal, replacement or cancellation of coverage.
Subject to Sections 3.27 and 6.11, the related Serviced Loan Combination
Controlling Party (in the case of a Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced
Loan Combination) or the Controlling Class Representative (in the case of any
other Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan) may request that
earthquake insurance be secured for such Mortgaged Property by the related
Mortgagor, to the extent that (i) such insurance may be obtained at a
commercially reasonable price and (ii) the related loan documents and applicable
law give the mortgagee the right to request such insurance coverage and such
loan documents require the Mortgagor to obtain earthquake insurance at the
request of the mortgagee. Subject to Section 3.17(a), the Special Servicer, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, shall also cause to be maintained for
each Administered REO Property no less insurance coverage than was previously
required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage; provided that such
insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates and the subject hazards
are at the time commonly insured against for properties similar to the subject
Administered REO Property located in or around the region in which such
Administered REO Property is located (or, in the case of all-risk insurance or
other insurance that covers acts of terrorism, the Special Servicer has
determined, based on due inquiry in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that
either such insurance is available at a commercially reasonable rate or the
subject hazards are at the time commonly insured against for properties similar
to the subject Administered REO Property located in or around the region in
which such Administered REO Property is located); and provided, further, that
all such insurance shall be obtained from Qualified Insurers that have, in each
such case, the applicable Required Insurer Rating. All such insurance policies
shall contain (if they insure against loss to property and do not relate to an
REO Property) a "standard" mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master
Servicer (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Serviced Mortgage
Loans, including Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), and shall be in the name of
the Special Servicer (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of
Administered REO Properties), on behalf of the Trustee. If the Special Servicer
is in the process of making a determination, in the case of all-risk
-177-
insurance or other insurance that covers losses from acts of terrorism, as to
whether the failure by the Mortgagor under any Serviced Mortgage Loan to
maintain such insurance constitutes an Acceptable Insurance Default, then,
during the period of such evaluation by the Special Servicer (or, to the extent
applicable, during the period that the Special Servicer is obtaining the consent
under Section 6.11 of the Controlling Class Representative or, with respect to a
Serviced Loan Combination, obtaining the consent under Section 3.27 of the
Serviced Loan Combination Controlling Party) the Master Servicer shall not be
liable for any loss related to the related Mortgagor's failure to maintain
terrorism insurance and shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder as
a result of such failure to maintain terrorism insurance (provided, that the
Master Servicer used reasonable efforts, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, to cause such Mortgagor to maintain such insurance and has given
prompt written notice to the Special Servicer of its determination that it will
not be successful in its efforts to cause the Mortgagor to obtain such
insurance, along with its determination, and any information in its possession,
regarding the availability and cost of such insurance). The Special Servicer
shall promptly notify the Master Servicer of each such determination by the
Special Servicer under this paragraph.
Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the 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 subject to the rights of any
tenants and ground lessors, as the case may be, and in each case in accordance
with the terms of the related Mortgage and the Servicing Standard) shall be
deposited in the applicable Custodial Account in accordance with Section 3.04(a)
or 3.04A(a), as applicable, in the case of amounts received in respect of a
Serviced Mortgage Loan, or in the applicable REO Account in accordance with
Section 3.16(b), in the case of amounts received in respect of an Administered
REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
in maintaining any such insurance (including any earthquake insurance maintained
at the request of a Serviced Loan Combination Controlling Party or the
Controlling Class Representative, as applicable) shall not, for purposes hereof,
including calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to
the unpaid principal balance or Stated Principal Balance of the related Serviced
Mortgage Loan(s) or REO Mortgage Loan(s), notwithstanding that the terms of such
loan so permit, but shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, as a Servicing Advance.
(b) If either 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 Serviced
Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties that it is required to service
and administer, then, to the extent such policy (i) is obtained from a Qualified
Insurer having (or whose obligations are guaranteed or backed, in writing, by an
entity having) the applicable Required Insurer Rating, and (ii) provides
protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, then the
Master Servicer or the 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 and/or the subject Administered
REO Properties. Such blanket policy or master force placed 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 subject
Administered REO Property an individual 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 individual policy, promptly deposit
into the applicable Custodial Account from its own funds the amount not
otherwise payable under the blanket policy or master force placed policy because
of the deductible clause therein, to the extent that any such
-178-
deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related
Serviced Mortgage Loan (or in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the
deductible limitation for an individual policy which 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, the
Certificateholders and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property that secures a
Serviced Loan Combination, the related Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s),
claims under any such blanket policy or master force placed policy in a timely
fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
(c) Subject to the third paragraph of this Section 3.07(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 in which Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or
Administered REO Properties are part of the Trust Fund) keep in force with
Qualified Insurers that, in each such case, has (or whose obligations are in
each such case guaranteed or backed, in writing, by an entity that has) the
applicable Required Insurer Rating, a fidelity bond, which fidelity bond shall
be in such form and amount as would permit it to be a qualified Xxxxxx Xxx
seller-servicer of multifamily mortgage loans, or in such other form and amount
as would not cause an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of
Certificates (as evidenced in writing from each 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.
Subject to the third paragraph of this Section 3.07(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 in which Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or
Administered REO Properties are part of the Trust Fund) also keep in force with
Qualified Insurers that, in each such case, has (or whose obligations are in
each such case guaranteed or backed, in writing, by an entity that has) the
applicable Required Insurer Rating, 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 would permit it to be a qualified Xxxxxx Mae
seller-servicer of multifamily mortgage loans, or in such other form and amount
as would not cause an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of
Certificates (as evidenced in writing from each 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the long-term debt
obligations of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (or its direct corporate
parent if such parent is responsible for the obligations of the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable), as the case may be, are rated at least "A"
(or the equivalent) from each Rating Agency (or, in the case of any Rating
Agency, such lower rating as will not result in an Adverse Rating Event with
respect to any Class of Certificates rated by such Rating Agency, as evidenced
in writing by such Rating Agency), such Person may self-insure with respect to
all or a portion of the risks described in this Section 3.07(c).
(d) In the event that either of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer has actual knowledge of any event (an "Insured Environmental Event")
giving rise to a claim under any
-179-
Environmental Insurance Policy in respect of any Environmentally Insured
Mortgage Loan (other than, if applicable, an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loan) for which the Mortgagor has not filed a claim or in respect of an
Administered REO Property, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer
if such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Special
Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in all cases. Upon becoming aware of
such Insured Environmental Event, the Master Servicer, in the case of a
Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Special Servicer, in the case of a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property, in accordance
with the terms of such Environmental Insurance Policy and the Servicing
Standard, shall timely make a claim thereunder with the appropriate insurer and
shall take such other actions necessary under such Environmental Insurance
Policy in order to realize the full value thereof for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. With respect to each Environmental Insurance Policy in
respect of an Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loan (other than, if applicable,
an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer (in the case of
any such Mortgage Loan that is a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the
Special Servicer (in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that is a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or in the case of an Administered REO Property) shall
each review and familiarize itself with the terms and conditions relating to
enforcement of claims and shall, in the event the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer has actual knowledge of an Insured Environmental Event giving rise to a
claim under such policy, monitor the dates by which any claim must be made or
any action must be taken under such policy to realize the full value thereof for
the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Master Servicer (in the case of Performing Serviced Mortgage
Loans) and the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans and Administered REO Properties) shall each abide by the terms and
conditions precedent to payment of claims under the Environmental Insurance
Policies with respect to the Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loans (other than,
if applicable, any Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan) and take all such
actions as may be required to comply with the terms and provisions of such
policies in order to maintain such policies in full force and effect and to make
claims thereunder.
In the event that either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
receives notice of a termination of any Environmental Insurance Policy with
respect to an Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loan (other than, if applicable,
an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan), then the party receiving such notice
shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, provide written
notice of such termination to the other such party and the Trustee. Upon receipt
of such notice, the Master Servicer, with respect to a Performing Serviced
Mortgage Loan, or the Special Servicer, with respect to a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property, shall address such termination in
accordance with Section 3.07(a). Any legal fees, premiums or other out-of-pocket
costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with
enforcing the obligations of the Mortgagor under any Environmental Insurance
Policy or a resolution of such termination of an Environmental Insurance Policy
shall be paid by the Master Servicer and shall be reimbursable to it as a
Servicing Advance.
The Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Mortgage
Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans) shall monitor the actions, and enforce the obligations, of the related
Mortgagor under each Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loan (other than, if
applicable, an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan) insofar as such
actions/obligations relate to (i) to the extent consistent with Section 3.07(a),
the maintenance (including, without limitation,
-180-
any required renewal) of an Environmental Insurance Policy with respect to the
related Mortgaged Property or (ii) environmental testing or remediation at the
related Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 3.08. Enforcement of Alienation Clauses.
(a) If, with respect to any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer receives a request from a Mortgagor regarding the transfer of
the related Mortgaged Property to, and assumption of such Performing Serviced
Mortgage Loan by, another Person and/or transfers of certain interests in such
Mortgagor (including, without limitation, sales or transfers of the related
Mortgaged Property (in full or in part) or the sale, transfer, pledge or
hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in the related Mortgagor or its
owners) or, in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan that by its terms
permits transfer or assumption without the consent of the lender so long as
certain conditions are satisfied, a request by the related Mortgagor for a
determination that such conditions have been satisfied, then the Master Servicer
shall promptly notify the Special Servicer of such request, shall evaluate
(consistent with the Servicing Standard) the experience and financial condition
of the proposed transferee and the status of any conditions to transfer or
assumption (as described above) and prepare a report in connection therewith and
shall deliver to the Special Servicer such report and any documents or other
materials that the Master Servicer shall have received regarding the proposed
transfer and, if applicable, the proposed assumption. The Special Servicer shall
have the right hereunder, within 15 days (or, in the case of a consent to a
determination as to whether the conditions precedent to the subject transfer or
assumption have been satisfied, within 10 days, or within such longer period as
may be necessary to obtain any required consent pursuant to Section 3.27 or
6.11, as and if applicable) of receipt of such recommendation and supporting
materials and any other materials reasonably requested by the Special Servicer,
in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to withhold or grant consent to any
such request for such transfer and/or assumption and/or to make a determination
as to whether the conditions to transfer or assumption (as described above) have
been satisfied, as applicable, each in accordance with the terms of the subject
Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan and this Agreement; provided that any grant of
consent on the part of the Special Servicer shall be subject to Section 3.08(d),
Section 3.27 and/or Section 6.11, in each case if and as applicable. If the
Special Servicer does not respond within such 15-day period, 10-day period or
such longer period as set forth above (and set forth in the notice described in
the following proviso), as the case may be, such party's consent shall be deemed
granted; provided that if the Special Servicer's consent is not withheld,
granted or deemed granted within the aforementioned 15-day period or 10-day
period, as applicable, because the Special Servicer is in the process of
obtaining a consent required pursuant to Section 3.27 and/or Section 6.11, as
applicable, then the Special Servicer shall, prior to the termination of the
aforementioned 15-day or 10-day period, provide notice to the Master Servicer of
such process and the estimated time period for completion thereof. If the
Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (i) withholds or
denies its consent to any such request for such transfer and/or assumption with
respect to any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan and/or (ii) determines, with
respect to any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan that by its terms permits
transfer and/or assumption without lender consent so long as certain conditions
are satisfied, that such conditions have not been satisfied, then, in each such
case, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in writing of such
determination, and the Master Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that
the requested transfer and/or assumption will not be permitted and shall
restrict the requested transfer and/or assumption of the subject Performing
Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the Special
Servicer consents or is deemed to consent to such proposed transfer and/or
assumption and/or determines that the conditions to transfer or assumption have
been satisfied, the Master Servicer shall process such request of the related
Mortgagor; and, in the
-181-
case of a transfer of the related Mortgaged Property to, and assumption of such
Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan by, another Person, the Master Servicer
(subject to Section 3.08(d)) shall be authorized to enter into an assumption or
substitution agreement with the Person, which shall be a Single Purpose Entity,
to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been or is proposed to be conveyed
and/or release the original Mortgagor from liability under such Performing
Serviced Mortgage Loan and substitute as obligor thereunder the Person to whom
the related Mortgaged Property has been or is proposed to be conveyed; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer shall not enter into any such agreement to the
extent that any terms thereof would result in an Adverse REMIC Event or Adverse
Grantor Trust Event or create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior
to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage. The Master Servicer
shall notify the Trustee, the Special Servicer, each Rating Agency, the
Controlling Class Representative and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination
that consists of Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans, the related Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), of any assumption or substitution
agreement executed pursuant to this Section 3.08(a) and shall forward thereto a
copy of such agreement together with a Review Package. Subject to the terms of
the related loan documents, no assumption of a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage
Loan shall be made without the assumption of all other Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loans making up the related Cross-Collateralized Group. Further, subject to the
terms of the related loan documents and applicable law, no assumption of a
Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be made or transfer of interest in a Mortgagor
approved, unless all costs in connection therewith, including any arising from
seeking Rating Agency confirmation, are paid by the related Mortgagor.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer
shall approve and close, without the consent of the Special Servicer, all
initial syndications of tenant-in-common interests, provided such syndications
are specifically permitted by and in accordance with the related loan documents
for any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
Upon completion of any such initial transfer, the Master Servicer shall promptly
provide notice by electronic mail thereof to the Special Servicer and the
Controlling Class Representative, which notice shall also (i) advise the Special
Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative as to the total number of
transfers with respect to such Serviced Mortgage 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, and
(ii) advise the Special Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative of
when, with respect to any such Serviced Mortgage Loan, such tenant-in-common
syndication is complete. Any request for a modification to or extension of the
final initial syndication date respecting any such tenant-in-common transfers or
increase in the permitted number of tenant-in-common interests under the initial
syndication shall be (A) processed (i) solely in the case of a KeyBank Trust
Mortgage Loan and only for so long as KeyCorp Real Estate Capital Markets, Inc.
is the primary servicer with respect to such KeyBank Trust Mortgage Loan, by the
Master Servicer, and (ii) in all other cases, other than (A)(i) above, by the
Special Servicer, and (B) in all cases, submitted to the Special Servicer for
approval (which, in the case of clause (A)(i) above shall be deemed approved if
the request is not denied by the Special Servicer in writing to the Master
Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of the Special Servicer's receipt of such
request), and the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Controlling Class
Representative of any such modification or extension.
(b) If, with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer receives a request from a Mortgagor for consent to a transfer of the
related Mortgaged Property and assumption of such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan and/or consent to a transfer of interests in the related Mortgagor
(including, without limitation, sales or transfers of the related Mortgaged
Property (in
-182-
full or in part) or the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or
indirect interests in the related Mortgagor or its owners) or in the case of a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that by its terms permits transfer or
assumption without the consent of the lender so long as certain conditions are
satisfied, a request by the related Mortgagor for a determination that such
conditions have been satisfied, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the
Special Servicer of such request and deliver to the Special Servicer any
documents that the Master Servicer shall have received regarding the proposed
transfer and assumption. Subject to Section 3.08(d), Section 3.27 and/or Section
6.11, in each case if and as applicable, the Special Servicer shall determine
whether to grant such consent, whether the conditions to transfer or assumption
(as described above) have been satisfied and/or whether to enforce any
restrictions on such transfer and/or assumption contained in the related loan
documents, as applicable, each in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
Upon consent by the Special Servicer to any proposed transfer of a
Mortgaged Property and assumption by the proposed transferee of the related
Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the Special Servicer
shall process the request of the related Mortgagor for such transfer and
assumption and shall be authorized to enter into an assumption or substitution
agreement with the Person, which shall be a Single Purpose Entity, to whom the
related Mortgaged Property has been or is proposed to be conveyed and/or release
the original Mortgagor from liability under the related Serviced Mortgage Loan
and substitute as obligor thereunder the Person to whom the related Mortgaged
Property has been or is proposed to be conveyed; provided, however, that the
Special Servicer shall not enter into any such agreement to the extent that any
terms thereof would result in an Adverse REMIC Event or Adverse Grantor Trust
Event or create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on parity
with, the lien of the related Mortgage. The Special Servicer shall notify the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency, the Controlling Class
Representative and, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), of any assumption or
substitution agreement executed pursuant to this Section 3.08(b) and shall
forward thereto a copy of such agreement. Subject to the terms of the related
loan documents, no assumption of a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan shall be
made without the assumption of all other Serviced Trust Mortgage Loans making up
the related Cross-Collateralized Group. Further, subject to the terms of the
related loan documents and applicable law, no assumption of a Serviced Mortgage
Loan shall be made unless all costs in connection therewith, including any
arising from seeking Rating Agency confirmation, are paid by the related
Mortgagor.
As used in this Section 3.08, the terms "sale" and "transfer" shall
include the matters contemplated by the parentheticals in the first sentence of
Section 3.08(a).
(c) If, with respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer receives a request from the related Mortgagor regarding a
further encumbrance of the related Mortgaged Property or of an interest in the
related Mortgagor (including, without limitation, any mezzanine financing of the
related Mortgagor or any direct or indirect owners of the related Mortgagor or
the Mortgaged Property or any sale, issuance or transfer of preferred equity in
the Mortgagor or its owners or, in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage
Loan that by its terms permits further encumbrance without the consent of the
lender provided certain conditions are satisfied, a request by the related
Mortgagor for a determination that such conditions have been satisfied), then
the Master Servicer shall promptly obtain relevant information for purposes of
evaluating such request. If the Master Servicer determines, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, to approve such further encumbrance or that the conditions
precedent to such further encumbrance have been satisfied, as applicable, then
the Master
-183-
Servicer shall provide to the Special Servicer a written copy of such
recommendation (which shall include the reason therefor) and the materials upon
which such recommendation is based. The Special Servicer shall have the right
hereunder, within 15 days (or, in the case of a consent to a determination as to
whether the conditions precedent to a further encumbrance have been satisfied,
within 10 days), or within such longer period as may be necessary to obtain any
required consent pursuant to Section 3.27 or 6.11, as and if applicable, of
receipt of such recommendation and supporting materials and any other materials
reasonably requested by the Special Servicer, to reasonably withhold or, subject
to Section 3.08(d) and, further, subject to the Special Servicer obtaining any
consent to the extent required pursuant to Section 3.27 and/or Section 6.11, in
each case if and as applicable, grant consent to any such request for such
further encumbrance of the related Mortgaged Property or of an interest in the
related Mortgagor or to object or consent to the determination by the Master
Servicer as to whether the conditions to further encumbrance (as described
above) have been satisfied, as applicable, each in accordance with the terms of
such Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan and this Agreement and subject to the
Servicing Standard. If the Special Servicer does not respond within such 15-day
period, 10-day period or such longer period as set forth above (and set forth in
the notice described in the following proviso), as the case may be, such party's
consent shall be deemed granted; provided, that if the Special Servicer's
consent is not withheld, granted or deemed granted within the aforementioned
15-day period or 10-day period, as applicable, because the Special Servicer is
in the process of obtaining a consent required pursuant to Section 3.27 and/or
Section 6.11, as applicable, then the Special Servicer shall, prior to the
termination of the aforementioned 15-day or 10-day period, provide notice to the
Master Servicer of such process and the estimated time period for completion
thereof. If the Special Servicer consents or is deemed to have consented to such
further encumbrance of the related Mortgaged Property or of an interest in the
related Mortgagor, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall process such request
of the related Mortgagor. If the Special Servicer does not consent to, and is
not deemed to have consented to, such further encumbrance, then the Master
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee (as mortgagee of record on behalf of the
Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)) shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, enforce the restrictions contained in the related loan
documents on further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property and/or of an
interest in the related Mortgagor, as applicable. If the Special Servicer, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, within the requisite time period, (i)
objects to the determination by the Master Servicer with respect to a Performing
Serviced Mortgage Loan (which by its terms permits further encumbrance without
lender consent provided certain conditions are satisfied) that the subject
conditions have been satisfied, or (ii) determines with respect to any other
Serviced Mortgage Loan (which by its terms permits further encumbrance without
lender consent provided certain conditions are satisfied) that the subject
conditions have not been satisfied, then, in each such case, the Special
Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in writing of such objection or
determination, as applicable, and the Master Servicer shall notify the related
Mortgagor that the requested further encumbrance will not be permitted and shall
restrict the requested further encumbrance of the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan
in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
With respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee (as mortgagee of record on behalf of the
Certificateholders and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property that secures a
Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s)) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enforce the
restrictions contained in the related loan documents on further encumbrances of
the related Mortgaged Property and/or of interests in the related Mortgagor, as
applicable, and shall, with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans that by
their terms permit further encumbrance without mortgagee consent so long as
certain conditions are
-184-
satisfied, make all determinations as to whether such conditions have been
satisfied, and shall process all documentation in connection therewith, unless
the Special Servicer has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment,
that waiver of such restrictions or such conditions, as the case may be, would
be in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination delivered to the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and, in the case of a Serviced
Loan Combination, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s));
provided that any such waiver of such restrictions shall be subject to Section
3.08(d) and Section 6.11 and/or Section 3.27, in each case if and as applicable.
As used in this Section 3.08, the term "encumbrance" shall include the
matters contemplated by the parentheticals in the first sentence of this Section
3.08(c).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
3.08, but subject to the related loan documents and applicable law: (i) if (A)
the then unpaid principal balance of the subject Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan,
together with any other Serviced Trust Mortgage Loans that are
cross-collateralized therewith, is at least equal to the lesser of (1)
$35,000,000 and (2) 5% of the then aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage
Pool or (B) the subject Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan is then one of the ten (10)
largest Trust Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool, then neither the Master
Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall waive any restrictions
contained in the related Mortgage on transfers of the related Mortgaged Property
or on transfers of interests in the related Mortgagor, and (ii) if (X) the then
unpaid principal balance of the subject Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, together
with any other Serviced Trust Mortgage Loans that are cross-collateralized
therewith, is at least equal to the lesser of (1) $20,000,000 and (2) 2% of the
then aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Pool or (Y) the subject
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan is then one of the ten (10) largest Trust Mortgage
Loans in the Mortgage Pool, then neither the Special Servicer nor the Master
Servicer shall waive any restrictions contained in the related Mortgage on
further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property or of interests in the
related Mortgagor, unless, in the case of either (i) or (ii) above, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have received prior
written confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if a Serviced Loan
Combination is involved and includes a Specially Designated Securitized
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, from each applicable Other Rating Agency) that such
action would not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of
Certificates or any affected class of Specially Designated Non-Trust Mortgage
Loan Securities rated by such rating agency. Also notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 3.08, but subject to the related loan
documents and applicable law, if (A) the aggregate loan-to-value ratio of the
subject Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan (together with any additional loans that
would further encumber the related Mortgaged Property and/or interests in the
related Mortgagor) would be equal to or greater than 85% or (B) the aggregate
debt service coverage ratio of the related Mortgaged Property (taking into
account any additional loans that would further encumber the related Mortgaged
Property and/or interests in the related Mortgagor) would be less than 1.20x,
then neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall
waive any restrictions contained in the related Mortgage on further encumbrances
of the related Mortgaged Property or encumbrances of interests in the related
Mortgagor, unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, shall have obtained prior written confirmation from S&P that such action
would not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of
Certificates or any affected class of Specially Designated Non-Trust Mortgage
Loan Securities rated by such rating agency. Neither the Master Servicer nor the
Special Servicer has the authority to perform any of the actions set forth above
in this paragraph with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan. In
connection with any request for rating confirmation from a rating agency
pursuant to
-185-
this paragraph of Section 3.08(d), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, shall deliver a Review Package to such rating agency.
Further, subject to the terms of the related loan documents and applicable law,
no waiver of a restriction contained in the related Mortgage on transfers of the
related Mortgaged Property or interests in the related Mortgagor or on further
encumbrances thereof may be waived by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, unless all costs in connection therewith, including any
arising from seeking rating agency confirmation, are paid by the related
Mortgagor. To the extent not collected from the related Mortgagor (or from the
Depositor or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to or as
contemplated by Section 2.03), any rating agency charges in connection with the
foregoing shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Outside Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan, in the event that any action set forth in clause (i) or
(ii) of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph regarding such Trust
Mortgage Loan would require written confirmation from a Rating Agency that such
action would not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of
Certificates rated by such Rating Agency in accordance with clause (i) or (ii)
of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph if such Trust Mortgage Loan
were a Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, then the Controlling Class Representative
(and, additionally, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, if applicable)
shall not consent to a waiver of any restrictions contained in the related
Mortgage on transfers of the related Mortgaged Property or on transfers of
interests in the related Mortgagor or to a waiver of any restrictions contained
in the related Mortgage on further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged
Property or of interests in the related Mortgagor, in each case to the extent it
is permitted to do so under the related Outside Servicing Agreement and/or the
related Co-Lender Agreement, unless it has obtained written confirmation from
each Rating Agency that such action would not result in an Adverse Rating Event
with respect to any Class of Certificates rated by such Rating Agency. Upon
being asked to consent to any action set forth in the preceding sentence (i) if
the party initially in receipt of such request for consent is the Controlling
Class Representative, the Controlling Class Representative shall request from
the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall thereupon provide, a
determination to the Controlling Class Representative as to, and (ii) if the
party initially in receipt of such request for consent is the Master Servicer,
the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Controlling Class
Representative together with a determination as to, and (iii) if the party
initially in receipt of such request for consent is the Special Servicer, the
Special Servicer shall forward such request to the Master Servicer and the
Controlling Class Representative, and the Master Servicer shall thereupon
provide a determination to the Controlling Class Representative as to, in the
case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, whether such action would require written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such action would not result in an
Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Certificates rated by such
Rating Agency in accordance with clause (i) or clause (ii) of the first sentence
of the preceding paragraph if such Trust Mortgage Loan were a Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan (and the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to
conclusively rely on such determination by the Master Servicer). Further,
subject to the terms of the related loan documents and applicable law, the
Controlling Class Representative shall not affirmatively consent to a waiver of
any restrictions contained in the related Mortgage on transfers of the related
Mortgaged Property or on transfers of interests in the related Mortgagor or to a
waiver of any restrictions contained in the related Mortgage on further
encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property or of interests in the related
Mortgagor, unless all costs in connection therewith, including any arising from
seeking Rating Agency confirmation, are paid by the related Mortgagor (unless
requiring payment of such costs by the Mortgagor is contrary to the explicit
terms of the related loan documents). To the extent not payable by and collected
from the related Mortgagor, any
-186-
rating agency charges in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the
Master Servicer by withdrawing the amount of such charges from the Pool
Custodial Account.
If and to the extent that any expenses paid by the Master Servicer in
connection with the actions contemplated by this Section 3.08(d) would result in
the failure of any one or more Holder(s) of Regular Interest Certificates to
receive any amount of principal or interest at the related Pass-Through Rate to
which such Holder(s) are entitled (in each case by the time any such amounts are
due and payable to such Holder(s)), then such amounts shall be deemed to have
been distributed to such Holder(s) from REMIC III, as of the time paid by the
Master Servicer, and then paid by such Holder(s) and not by any of the REMIC
Pools.
(e) To the extent not prohibited by the applicable loan documents and
applicable law, the Master Servicer with respect to Performing Serviced Mortgage
Loans, and the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans, may charge the related Mortgagor (and retain to the extent permitted
under Section 3.11) a fee in connection with any enforcement or waiver
contemplated under this Section 3.08.
SECTION 3.09. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Required
Appraisals; Appraisal Reduction Calculation.
(a) The Special Servicer shall, subject to Sections 3.09(b), 3.09(c),
3.09(d), 3.27 and 6.11, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of properties securing such of the Specially Serviced Mortgage 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 Serviced Mortgage Loan that
constitutes an ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, take any
enforcement action with respect to the payment of Additional 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
ARD Mortgage Loan is, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special
Servicer, necessary, appropriate and consistent with the Servicing Standard or
(ii) all other amounts due under such ARD Mortgage Loan have been paid, the
payment of such Additional 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 interest accrued on Advances. Subject
to Section 3.11(h), the Special Servicer shall request that the Master Servicer
advance all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings, and the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor as provided in
Section 3.05(a) or Section 3.05A, as applicable. The Special Servicer shall be
responsible, consistent with the Servicing Standard, for determining whether to
exercise any rights it may have under the cross-collateralization and/or
cross-default provisions of a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan. Nothing
contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Special
Servicer, on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Mortgaged
Property that secures a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of the affected
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), 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 the Special Servicer in its
reasonable and good faith judgment taking into account the
-187-
factors described in Section 3.18 and the results of any appraisal obtained as
provided below in this Section 3.09, all such bids to be made in a manner
consistent with the Servicing Standard.
If and when the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer deems it
necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any
Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, whether for
purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, it may have an appraisal
performed with respect to such property by an Independent Appraiser or other
expert in real estate matters, which appraisal shall take into account the
factors specified in Section 3.18, and the cost of which appraisal shall be
covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance; provided that if the
Master Servicer intends to obtain an appraisal in connection with the foregoing,
the Master Servicer shall so notify the Special Servicer and consult with the
Special Servicer regarding such appraisal.
If any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a
Required Appraisal Loan, then the Special Servicer shall (i) obtain or conduct,
as applicable, a Required Appraisal within 60 days (or, in the case of a
Serviced Loan Combination, such shorter time period (if any) as may be required
under the related Co-Lender Agreement) of such occurrence (unless a Required
Appraisal was obtained or conducted, as applicable, with respect to such
Required Appraisal Loan within the prior 12 months and the Special Servicer
reasonably believes, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that no material
change has subsequently occurred with respect to the related Mortgaged Property
that would draw into question the applicability of such Required Appraisal) and
(ii) obtain or conduct, as applicable, an update of the most recent Required
Appraisal approximately 12 months following the most recent Required Appraisal
or subsequent update thereof for so long as such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or any
successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) or such Serviced Loan
Combination, as the case may be, remains a Required Appraisal Loan. The Special
Servicer shall deliver copies of all such Required Appraisals and updated
Required Appraisals to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and, in the case of a
Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Loan Combination, the related
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), in each such case, promptly following the
Special Servicer's receipt of the subject appraisal, and, upon request, to the
Controlling Class Representative. Based on each such Required Appraisal and
updated Required Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall (monthly, on each related
Determination Date, until the subject Required Appraisal Loan ceases to be such)
calculate and notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Controlling Class
Representative, and, in the case of any Mortgaged Property that secures a
Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s), of any resulting Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of the
subject Required Appraisal Loan. Such calculations by the Special Servicer shall
be subject to review and confirmation by the Master Servicer, provided that the
Master Servicer may rely on any information provided by the Special Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall, at the direction of the Special Servicer, advance the
cost of each such Required Appraisal and updated Required Appraisal; provided,
however, that such expense will be subject to reimbursement to the Master
Servicer as a Servicing Advance out of the related Custodial Account pursuant to
Section 3.05(a) or Section 3.05A, as applicable. At any time that an Appraisal
Reduction Amount exists with respect to any Required Appraisal Loan, the related
Serviced Loan Combination Controlling Party (in the case of a Serviced Loan
Combination or related REO Property) or the Controlling Class Representative (in
all other cases involving a Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO
Property), as applicable, may, at its own expense, obtain and deliver to the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee an appraisal that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Special Servicer and satisfies the requirements
of a "Required Appraisal", and upon the written request of the related Serviced
Loan Combination Controlling Party or the Controlling Class Representative, as
applicable, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction
Amount in
-188-
respect of the subject Required Appraisal Loan based on such appraisal delivered
by such party and shall notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Controlling
Class Representative and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the
related Serviced Loan Combination Controlling Party, of such recalculated
Appraisal Reduction Amount.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
Mortgaged Property shall be acquired by the Special Servicer on behalf of the
Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property that secures a
Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s)) under such circumstances, in such manner or pursuant to such
terms as would, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Special Servicer
(exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard), (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 Mortgaged Property
that is not treated as "foreclosure property" and that is held by a REMIC Pool
at any given time constitutes not more than a de minimis amount of the assets of
such REMIC Pool within the meaning of Treasury regulations section
1.860D-1(b)(3)(i) and (ii)), or (ii) except as permitted by Section 3.17(a),
subject the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal, state or local taxes
under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, however, a Mortgaged Property may be
acquired through a single member limited liability company if the Special
Servicer determines that such an action is appropriate to protect the Trust
(and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Loan
Combination, the related Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)) from potential
liability.
In addition, the Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal
property pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:
(i) such personal property is, in the reasonable, good faith
judgment of the Special Servicer (exercised in accordance with the
Servicing Standard), 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 be reimbursable as, a
Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property
as part of the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on any
REMIC Pool under the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC Pool to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09,
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the
Trustee (and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Loan
Combination, on behalf of the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s)), 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 that secures
a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of the related Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)), 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 (a "potentially responsible party"), unless such action is
consistent with Section 3.27 and/or Section 6.11, in each case if and as
applicable, and the Special Servicer has previously determined (as evidenced by
an Officer's Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee
-189-
(and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Loan
Combination, to the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)) that
shall specify all of the bases for such determination), in accordance with the
Servicing Standard and based on an Environmental Assessment of such Mortgaged
Property performed by an Independent Person, who regularly conducts
Environmental Assessments, within six months prior to any such acquisition of
title or other action (a copy of which Environmental Assessment shall be
delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and, in the case of a Mortgaged
Property that secures a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of the related
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)), that:
(i) the Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws and regulations or, if not, that it would (taking into
account the coverage provided under any related Environmental Insurance
Policy) maximize the recovery on the related Serviced Mortgage Loan to the
Certificateholders (or, if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved, to the
Certificateholders and the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s)), as a collective whole, on a present value basis (the
relevant discounting of anticipated collections that will be distributable
to Certificateholders (or, if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved, to
the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s)), as a collective whole, to be performed at the related
Mortgage Rate(s)) to acquire title to or possession of the Mortgaged
Property and to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged
Property into compliance therewith in all material respects; and
(ii) 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, if such circumstances or conditions
are present for which any such action could reasonably be expected to be
required, that it would (taking into account the coverage provided under
any related Environmental Insurance Policy) maximize the recovery on the
related Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Certificateholders (or, if a Serviced
Loan Combination is involved, to the Certificateholders and the related
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)), as a collective whole, on
a present value basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated collections
that will be distributable to Certificateholders (or, if a Serviced Loan
Combination is involved, to the Certificateholders and the related Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)), as a collective whole, to be
performed at the related Mortgage Rate(s)) to acquire title to or
possession of the Mortgaged Property and to take such actions with respect
to the affected Mortgaged Property.
The Special Servicer shall, in good faith, undertake reasonable
efforts to make the determination referred to in the preceding paragraph and
may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the Environmental Assessment
referred to above in making such determination. The cost of any such
Environmental Assessment shall be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Servicing
Advance; and if any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Special
Servicer shall perform or cause to be performed such additional environmental
testing as it deems necessary and prudent to determine whether the conditions
described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding paragraph have been satisfied
(the cost of any such additional testing also to be covered by, and reimbursable
as, a Servicing Advance). The cost of any remedial, corrective or other further
action contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph,
shall be payable out of the Pool Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)
(or with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, first out of the related Loan
-190-
Combination Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05A, and then out of the
Pool Custodial Account), and to the extent the funds in the Pool Custodial
Account and/or the related Loan Combination Custodial Account are insufficient,
such cost shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.11(h).
If and to the extent funds become available that would otherwise be
distributable to the related Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), any such
cost that was paid out of the Custodial Account shall be reimbursed from such
available funds in accordance with the terms and provisions of the related
Co-Lender Agreement.
(d) If the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.09(c) above
establishes that any of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the
first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged
Property securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall
take such action as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (other than
proceeding against the Mortgaged Property). At such time as it deems
appropriate, the Special Servicer may, on behalf of the Trust (and, if a
Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage
Loan Noteholder(s)), subject to Section 3.27 and/or Section 6.11, in each case
if and as applicable, release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property from
the lien of the related Mortgage.
(e) The Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer, the
Underwriters, the Trustee and, if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the
related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), monthly in writing as to
any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property
that represents security for a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which the
environmental testing contemplated in Section 3.09(c) above has revealed that
any of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence
thereof has not been satisfied, in each case until the earlier to occur of
satisfaction of all such conditions and release of the lien of the related
Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.
(f) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, with respect to any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the advisability of seeking to obtain a deficiency judgment if
the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of
the affected Serviced Mortgage Loan permit such an action, and shall, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, seek such deficiency judgment if it
deems advisable (the cost of which undertaking shall be covered by, and be
reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance).
(g) The Master Servicer shall, with the reasonable cooperation of the
Special Servicer, prepare and file information returns with respect to the
receipt of mortgage interest received with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan
required by Section 6050H of the Code and the reports of foreclosures and
abandonments of any Mortgaged Property (other than any Mortgaged Property that
secures an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan) and the information returns
relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged
Property required by Sections 6050J and 6050P of the Code. Such reports shall be
in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by
Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
(h) As soon as the Special Servicer makes a Final Recovery
Determination with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
Administered REO Property, it shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and, if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s). The Special Servicer shall maintain
accurate
-191-
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, the Master Servicer and, if a Serviced Loan Combination is
involved, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), no later
than the seventh Business Day following such Final Recovery Determination.
SECTION 3.10. Trustee and Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of a notification that
payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and
any related Custodian (and, in the case of a Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan,
the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder) by a certification
(which certification shall be in the form of a Request for Release in the form
of Exhibit D-1 attached hereto and shall be accompanied by the form of a release
or discharge and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to
be deposited in the applicable Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or
Section 3.04A(a), as applicable, have been or will be so deposited) of a
Servicing Officer (a copy of which certification shall be delivered to the
Special Servicer) and shall request delivery to it of the related Mortgage File
and, in the case of a Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, the original of the
Mortgage Note for such Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Trustee shall release, or cause any related
Custodian to release, the related Mortgage File (and, in the case of a Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall cause the related Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan Noteholder to release the Mortgage Note for such Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan) to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and shall
deliver to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, such release
or discharge, duly executed. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Collection Account or any Custodial Account.
(b) If from time to time, and as appropriate for servicing or
foreclosure of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall otherwise require any Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) (or
the original of the Mortgage Note for a Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan), the
Trustee, upon request of the Master Servicer and receipt from the Master
Servicer of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit D-1 attached hereto
signed by a Servicing Officer thereof, or upon request of the Special Servicer
and receipt from the Special Servicer of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit D-2 attached hereto, shall release, or cause any related Custodian to
release, such Mortgage File (or such portion thereof) (and, in the case of a
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall cause the related Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder to release the original of the Mortgage Note
for such Non-Trust Mortgage Loan) to the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be. Upon return of such Mortgage File (or such portion
thereof) to the Trustee or related Custodian (and, if applicable, such original
Mortgage Note for such Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan to the related Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder), or the delivery to the Trustee (and, if
applicable, to the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder) of a
certificate of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer stating that such
Serviced Mortgage 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 related Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or Section
3.04A(a), as applicable, have been or will be so deposited, or that the related
Mortgaged Property has become an REO Property, the Request for Release shall be
released by the Trustee or related Custodian to the
-192-
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. If the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer requires the original Mortgage Note or any other
document that constitutes part of a Mortgage File for any Trust Mortgage Loan,
then (unless such document is to be delivered to outside legal counsel) such
documents shall be maintained in a manner consistent with the Servicing
Standard.
(c) Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period (but
no less than three (3) Business Days) as execution and delivery can reasonably
be accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee and, in the case of
a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s) of an exigency) of the Special Servicer's request therefor, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer (or the Special
Servicer may execute and deliver in the name of the Trustee (on behalf of the
Certificateholders and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property that secures a
Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s)) based on a limited power of attorney issued in favor of the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01(b)), in the form supplied to the
Trustee, with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, any court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents stated by the Special Servicer to
be reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of the
related Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment
against any Mortgagor on the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the
related Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity or
to defend any legal action or counterclaim filed against the Trust Fund, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or, if applicable, any Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan Noteholder. Together with such documents or pleadings, the Special
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (and, if applicable, any affected Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder) a certificate of a Servicing Officer
requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and
certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that
the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee (on behalf of the
Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, also on
behalf of the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)) will not
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the
termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Master
Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the Trustee's written consent:
(i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee's name
without indicating the Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as applicable,
representative capacity, or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and
that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.
(d) If from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the related
Co-Lender Agreement and the related Outside Servicing Agreement, and as
appropriate for enforcing the terms of any Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan,
any related Outside Servicer or the appropriate Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder requests delivery to it of the original Mortgage Note for such
Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, then the Trustee shall release or cause
the release of such original Mortgage Note to the requesting party or its
designee. In connection with the release of the original Mortgage Note for any
Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan in accordance with the preceding sentence,
the Trustee shall obtain such documentation (such as a custodial receipt) as is
appropriate to evidence the holding by the related Outside Servicer or the
appropriate Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder as custodian on behalf of and for
the benefit of the Trustee.

SECTION 3.11. Servicing Compensation; Payment of Expenses; Certain
Matters Regarding 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 Trust
Mortgage Loan, each REO Trust Mortgage Loan, each Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage
Loan and any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect to a Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan. As to each such Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicing Fee shall: (i) accrue from time to time at the related Master
Servicing Fee Rate on the same principal amount as interest accrues from time to
time on such Mortgage Loan or is deemed to accrue from time to time on such REO
Mortgage Loan; and (ii) be calculated on a 30/360 Basis (or, in the event that a
Principal Prepayment in full or other Liquidation Event shall occur with respect
to any such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan on a date that is not a Due Date,
on the basis of the actual number of days to elapse from and including the most
recently preceding related Due Date to but excluding the date of such Principal
Prepayment or Liquidation Event in a month consisting of 30 days); provided
that, in the case of each KeyBank Trust Mortgage Loan that accrues interest on
an Actual/360 Basis or any successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect
thereto, the Master Servicing Fee shall be calculated on an Actual/360 Basis.
The Master Servicing Fee with respect to any such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage
Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof.
Earned but unpaid Master Servicing Fees shall be payable monthly, on a
loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each such Mortgage Loan and REO
Revenues allocable as interest on each such REO Mortgage Loan. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Master Servicing Fees in respect of
any such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan out of that portion of related
Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds allocable as
recoveries of interest, to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a) or Section
3.05A, as applicable, and in the case of a Trust Mortgage Loan or an REO Trust
Mortgage Loan, out of such other amounts as may be permitted by Section 3.05(a).
In no event shall any Master Servicing Fee earned with respect to any Serviced
Subordinate Non-Trust Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with
respect thereto be payable out of any amounts allocable to any more senior
Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is part of the related Serviced Loan
Combination. 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.
(b) Additional master servicing compensation, in the form of the items
set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) below in this paragraph, shall be
retained by the Master Servicer or promptly paid to the Master Servicer by the
Special Servicer and such additional master servicing compensation is not
required to be deposited in any Custodial Account: (i) Net Default Charges,
charges for beneficiary statements or demands, amounts collected for checks
returned for insufficient funds, and any similar fees (excluding Prepayment
Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges), in each case to the extent actually
paid by a Mortgagor with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (or, in the case
of Net Default Charges, any Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan) and accrued during the
time that such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of Net Default Charges,
such Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan) was a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan (or,
in the case of Net Default Charges, a Performing Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan),
and any Net Default Charges Received by the Trust with respect to an Outside
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan; (ii) 100% (or, if the consent of the Special
Servicer is required with respect to the subject action, 50%) of each
modification fee, extension fee or other similar fee actually paid by a
Mortgagor with respect to a modification, consent, extension, waiver, amendment,
encumbrance of the related Mortgaged Property or similar action agreed to by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section
-194-
3.20(c) or Section 3.08(c), and 100% of any fee actually paid by a Mortgagor in
connection with a defeasance of a Serviced Mortgage Loan as contemplated under
Section 3.20; and (iii) with respect to any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan,
50% of any and all assumption fees, 100% of any and all assumption application
fees (or, in the event that (x) the Master Servicer enters into an assumption or
substitution agreement pursuant to Section 3.08(a) and the related loan
documents do not provide for an assumption fee in connection therewith, or (y)
the proposed transfer or assumption under Section 3.08(a) is approved and/or
processed but does not occur or (z) the proposed transfer or assumption under
Section 3.08(a) is not approved or is denied and does not occur and,
additionally, in the case of (x), (y) and (z), assumption application fees are
paid by the Mortgagor in connection therewith, then 50% of such assumption
application fees) and other applicable fees, actually paid by a Mortgagor in
accordance with the related loan documents with respect to any assumption or
substitution agreement entered into by the Master Servicer on behalf of the
Trust (or, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of the Trust
and the related Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)) pursuant to Section
3.08(a) or paid by a Mortgagor with respect to any transfer of an interest in a
Mortgagor pursuant to Section 3.08(a). The Master Servicer shall also be
entitled to additional master servicing compensation in the form of (i)
Prepayment Interest Excesses Received by the Trust with respect to the Trust
Mortgage Loans; (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits in the
Custodial Accounts in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of
the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for each
related Investment Period); and (iii) to the extent not required to be paid to
any Mortgagor under applicable law, any interest or other income earned on
deposits in the Servicing Accounts, the Reserve Accounts and the Defeasance
Deposit Account maintained thereby (but only to the extent of the Net Investment
Earnings, if any, with respect to each such account for each related Investment
Period).
The parties hereto acknowledge that, with regard to each Outside
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, as and to the extent provided in the related
Outside Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement, as
applicable, amounts in the nature of the foregoing may be payable to one of the
related Outside Servicers, and there can be no assurance that any related
Prepayment Interest Excesses and/or Default Charges shall be Received by the
Trust with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan.
(c) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each REO Mortgage Loan that relates to an
Administered REO Property. With respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
and each REO Mortgage Loan that relates to an Administered REO Property, the
Special Servicing Fee shall: (i) accrue from time to time at the Special
Servicing Fee Rate on the same principal amount as interest accrues from time to
time on such Mortgage Loan or is deemed to accrue from time to time on such REO
Mortgage Loan; and (ii) be calculated on a 30/360 Basis (or, in the event that a
Principal Prepayment in full or other Liquidation Event shall occur with respect
to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan on a date that is
not a Due Date, on the basis of the actual number of days to elapse from and
including the most recently preceding related Due Date to but excluding the date
of such Principal Prepayment or Liquidation Event, in a month consisting of 30
days and, in the case of any other partial period that does not run from one Due
Date through and including the day immediately preceding the next Due Date, on
the basis of the actual number of days in such period in a month consisting of
30 days). The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan shall cease to accrue as of the date a
Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof or it becomes a Corrected Mortgage
Loan. Earned but unpaid Special Servicing Fees in respect of Specially Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loans and, to the extent they relate to
-195-
Administered REO Properties, REO Trust Mortgage Loans shall be payable monthly
out of general collections on the Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Pool Custodial
Account, to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a). In addition, earned but
unpaid Special Servicing Fees in respect of a Serviced Loan Combination
consisting of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Mortgage Loans shall be
payable out of collections on such Loan Combination on deposit in the applicable
Loan Combination Custodial Account, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section
3.05A and the related Co-Lender Agreement, and, with respect to any Serviced
Combination Trust Mortgage Loan that constitutes a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, out of collections on deposit in the Pool Custodial
Account, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.05.
As further compensation for its services hereunder, the Special
Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Workout Fee with respect to each
Corrected Mortgage Loan. As to each Corrected Mortgage Loan, subject to the
second following paragraph, the Workout Fee shall be payable from, and shall be
calculated by application of the Workout Fee Rate to, all collections of
principal, interest (other than any Default Interest, Additional Interest and
Excess Defeasance Deposit Proceeds), Prepayment Premiums and/or Yield
Maintenance Charges received on the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan for so long
as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan; provided that no Workout Fee shall be
payable from, or based upon the receipt of, Liquidation Proceeds collected in
connection with a Permitted Purchase, or out of any Loss of Value Payments,
Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds. The Workout Fee with respect to any
Corrected Mortgage Loan will cease to be payable if such Corrected Mortgage Loan
again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or if the related Mortgaged
Property becomes an REO Property; provided that a new Workout Fee will become
payable if and when the particular Serviced Mortgage Loan again becomes a
Corrected Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated or removed (other
than for cause) or resigns in accordance with the first sentence of the first
paragraph of Section 6.04, it shall retain the right to receive any and all
Workout Fees (and the successor Special Servicer (including the Trustee if it is
the successor Special Servicer as provided in the first paragraph of Section
7.02) shall not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees) that are
payable in respect of:
(i) each Mortgage Loan that became a Corrected Mortgage Loan
during the period that the terminated, removed or resigning Special
Servicer acted as Special Servicer and was still such at the time of such
termination, removal or resignation; and
(ii) each Mortgage Loan that would have been a "Corrected
Mortgage Loan" at the time of such termination, removal or resignation but
for the payment (in accordance with clause (w) of the definition of
"Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan") by the related Mortgagor of the three
consecutive full and timely Monthly Payments under the terms of such
Serviced Mortgage Loan (as such terms may have been changed or modified in
connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving the related
Mortgagor or by reason of a modification, extension, waiver or amendment
granted or agreed to by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.20), but only if such three consecutive full and
timely Monthly Payments are in fact made within three months of such
termination, removal or resignation;
in each case until the Workout Fee for any such Serviced Mortgage Loan ceases to
be payable in accordance with the preceding sentence.
-196-
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special
Servicer shall also be entitled to receive the Liquidation Fee with respect to
each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which it receives a full, partial or
discounted payoff and, subject to the provisos to the next sentence, each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and Administered REO Property as to which it
receives Net Liquidation Proceeds. As to each such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan or Administered REO Property, subject to the following paragraph, the
Liquidation Fee shall be payable from, and shall be calculated by application of
the Liquidation Fee Rate to, such full, partial or discounted payoff and/or such
Net Liquidation Proceeds (exclusive of any portion of such payoff or proceeds
that represents Default Interest and/or Additional Interest); provided that no
Liquidation Fee shall be payable (i) with respect to any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan that becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan or (ii) from, or based upon
the receipt of, Liquidation Proceeds collected in connection with the
acquisition of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property by all the
Certificateholders (acting together) in exchange for all the Certificates
pursuant to Section 9.01 or the purchase of any Specially Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan by a Purchase Option Holder pursuant to Section 3.18 (provided,
however, that a Liquidation Fee will be paid in connection with the purchase of
a Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan at its FV Price as determined in
Section 3.18, if such purchase is by an assignee of either a Holder of a
Certificate of the Controlling Class or the Special Servicer, such assignee is
not an Affiliate of a Holder of a Certificate of the Controlling Class or the
Special Servicer, such assignment is for no material consideration, and such
purchase occurs or purchase right is exercised more than 90 days from the date
that the Special Servicer has initially determined the FV Price of the related
Mortgage Loan), by the Special Servicer, a Controlling Class Certificateholder,
the Master Servicer, the Depositor or Xxxxxx Brothers pursuant to Section 9.01,
by a Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder or its designee pursuant to the related
Co-Lender Agreement (unless such purchase occurs after the expiration of 60 days
from the date such Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder's right to purchase such
Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan arose under such Co-Lender Agreement and
such Liquidation Fee is actually paid), by the City of Tustin pursuant to the
District at Tustin Legacy DDA, by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.03 or by
or on behalf of an Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the applicable
UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in connection with a Material
Document Defect or a Material Breach (in either such case, prior to the
expiration of the Seller/Depositor Resolution Period), by the Depositor pursuant
to Section 2.03 or by or on behalf of an Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller
pursuant to the applicable UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in
connection with the defeasance of an Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan prior
to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, or by the holder of a related
mezzanine loan pursuant to a purchase right in connection with a Mortgage Loan
default as set forth in the related intercreditor agreement (unless a
Liquidation Fee is specifically required to be paid in connection with such
purchase and is actually paid pursuant to the subject intercreditor agreement;
provided that, if the subject intercreditor agreement provides that a
Liquidation Fee is payable if and to the extent such fee is payable under this
Agreement (or words of similar import), then such Liquidation Fee shall be
payable hereunder if such purchase occurs after the expiration of 60 days from
the date the right to purchase arises under such mezzanine intercreditor
agreement and if such fee is actually paid; and provided, further, that, if the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, consents subsequent to the
Closing Date to the incurrence by the principal(s) of a Mortgagor under a Trust
Mortgage Loan of mezzanine financing in accordance with the related loan
documents and enters into an intercreditor agreement, such servicer (to the
extent it is permitted to do so under the related loan documents and applicable
law and in accordance with the Servicing Standard) shall require the related
mezzanine lender to pay a Liquidation Fee in connection with any purchase right
that arises upon a Mortgage Loan default in the event such purchase occurs after
the expiration of 60 days from the date the right to purchase arises under such
mezzanine
-197-
intercreditor agreement) or (iii) from, or based upon the receipt or
application of, Loss of Value Payments; and provided, further, that, in
connection with any purchase by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.03 or by or
on behalf of an Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the applicable
UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in connection with a Material
Document Defect or a Material Breach (in either case, subsequent to the
expiration of the Seller/Depositor Resolution Period), the Liquidation Fee shall
equal 1% of the Stated Principal Balance of the repurchased Trust Mortgage Loan
(or, if an REO Property is being repurchased, 1% of the Stated Principal Balance
of the related REO Trust Mortgage Loan).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Workout Fee and/or Liquidation Fee
payable in accordance with the two preceding paragraphs with respect to Mortgage
Loans or REO Mortgage Loans that comprise a Serviced Loan Combination shall be
paid from collections received on such Loan Combination on deposit in the
applicable Loan Combination Custodial Account, to the extent permitted pursuant
to Section 3.05A and the related Co-Lender Agreement; provided that in no event
shall any Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee earned with
respect to any Serviced Subordinate Non-Trust Mortgage Loan or any successor REO
Mortgage Loan with respect thereto be payable out of any amounts allocable to
any more senior Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is part of the related
Serviced Loan Combination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Liquidation Fee and
a Workout Fee relating to the same Mortgage Loan shall not be paid from the same
proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer
shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation
Fees with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan or comparable deemed
mortgage loan comprising an Outside Serviced Loan Combination.
The Special Servicer's right to receive the Special Servicing Fee, the
Workout Fee and the Liquidation Fee 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.
(d) Additional special servicing compensation in the form of the items
set forth below in clauses (i) through (vi) below shall be retained by the
Special Servicer or promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Master
Servicer, as the case may be, and shall not be required to be deposited in any
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04A(a): (i) Net
Default Charges actually collected with respect to any Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loan or any successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto that accrued
while the subject loan was a Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or an REO
Trust Mortgage Loan; (ii) with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan,
100% of any and all assumption fees, assumption application fees and other
applicable fees, actually paid by a Mortgagor in accordance with the related
loan documents, with respect to any assumption or substitution agreement entered
into by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (or, in the case of a
Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of the Trust and the related Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)) pursuant to Section 3.08(b) or paid by a
Mortgagor with respect to any transfer of an interest in a Mortgagor pursuant to
Section 3.08(b); (iii) with respect to any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan,
50% of any and all assumption fees actually paid by a Mortgagor in accordance
with the related loan documents, with respect to any assumption or substitution
agreement entered into by the Master Servicer
-198-
on behalf of the Trust (or, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, on
behalf of the Trust and the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s)) pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or paid by a Mortgagor with respect
to any transfer of an interest in a Mortgagor pursuant to Section 3.08(a); (iv)
with respect to any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, in the event that (x) the
Master Servicer enters into an assumption or substitution agreement pursuant to
Section 3.08(a) and the related loan documents do not provide for an assumption
fee in connection therewith or (y) the proposed transfer or assumption under
Section 3.08(a) is approved and/or processed but does not occur or (z) the
proposed transfer or assumption under Section 3.08(a) is not approved or is
denied and does not occur and, additionally, in the case of (x), (y) and (z),
assumption application fees are paid by the Mortgagor in connection therewith,
then 50% of such assumption application fees; (v) with respect to any Performing
Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the consent of the Special Servicer is required with
respect to the subject action, 50% of each modification fee, extension fee or
other similar fee actually paid by a Mortgagor with respect to a modification,
consent, extension, waiver, amendment, encumbrance of the related Mortgaged
Property or similar action agreed to by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
3.20(c) or Section 3.08(c); and (vi) any and all other modification fees,
consent fees, extension fees and similar fees actually collected on the Serviced
Mortgage Loans that are not otherwise payable to the Master Servicer as
additional master servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.11(b). The
Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional special servicing
compensation in the form of interest or other income earned on deposits in any
REO Account, if established, in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the
extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for
each related Investment Period).
(e) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be
required 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 of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket policy or
the standby fee or similar premium 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 any of the Custodial
Accounts or, in the case of the Special Servicer, any of the REO Accounts, and
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be entitled to
reimbursement for such expenses except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(f) If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer is required under any
provision of this Agreement to make a Servicing Advance, but it does not do so
within 15 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 or
Special Servicer, as the case may be, give written notice of such failure to, as
applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. If such Servicing
Advance is not made by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, within three (3) Business Days after such notice is given to the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, then (subject to
Section 3.11(h)) the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance. If the Trustee
fails to make any Servicing Advance required to be made under this Agreement,
then (subject to Section 3.11(h)) the Fiscal Agent, if any, shall make such
Servicing Advance within one (1) Business Day of such failure by the Trustee
and, if so made, the Trustee shall be deemed not to be in default under this
Agreement.
(g) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any
Fiscal Agent shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement
Rate in effect from time to time, compounded annually, accrued on the amount of
each Servicing Advance made thereby (with its own funds) for so long as such
Servicing Advance is outstanding, such interest to be payable: (i) first, in
accordance with Sections 3.05(a) and 3.26, out of any Default Charges on deposit
in the Pool Custodial Account that
-199-
were collected on or in respect of the particular Trust Mortgage Loan or REO
Trust Mortgage Loan as to which such Servicing Advance relates (provided that
such Default Charges will only be applied to pay interest accrued on such
Servicing Advance through the date that such Default Charges were received); and
(ii) then, if and to the extent that such Default Charges are insufficient to
cover such interest, but not before the related Advance has been reimbursed
pursuant to this Agreement, out of general collections on the Trust Mortgage
Loans and REO Trust Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Pool Custodial Account;
provided that, if such Servicing Advance was made with respect to a Serviced
Loan Combination or any related Mortgaged Property, then such interest shall
first be payable out of amounts on deposit in the related Loan Combination
Custodial Account in accordance with Section 3.05A and the related Co-Lender
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee or any Fiscal Agent, as appropriate, in accordance with Section 3.03,
Section 3.05(a) or Section 3.05A, as applicable, for any Servicing Advance as
soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the
applicable Custodial Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a
determination that a previously made Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, instead of obtaining reimbursement out of general collections
on the Mortgage Pool immediately, any of the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee or any Fiscal Agent, as applicable, may, in its sole
discretion, elect to obtain reimbursement for such Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance over a period of time (not to exceed 12 months or such longer period of
time as is approved in writing by the Controlling Class Representative) and the
unreimbursed portion of such Servicing Advance will accrue interest at the
Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time. At any time after such a
determination to obtain reimbursement over time in accordance with the preceding
sentence, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or any Fiscal
Agent, as applicable, may, in its sole discretion, decide to obtain
reimbursement immediately. The fact that a decision to recover such
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance over time, or not to do so, benefits some
Classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other Classes shall not
constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard by the Master Servicer, or a
breach of any fiduciary duty owed to the Certificateholders by the Trustee or a
Fiscal Agent, or a breach of any other contractual obligation owed to the
Certificateholders by any party to this Agreement.
(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or any Fiscal Agent shall be
required to make out of its own funds any Servicing Advance that would, if made,
constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer that it has made (or, in the case of the
Special Servicer, that the Master Servicer, the Trustee or a Fiscal Agent has
made) a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance,
if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be made in
accordance with the Servicing Standard and shall be evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee and the Depositor (and, in the
case of a Servicing Advance with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the
related Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)), setting forth the basis for such
determination, together with a copy of any appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which appraisal shall be an
expense of the Trust, shall take into account the factors specified in Section
3.18 and shall have been conducted by an Independent Appraiser in accordance
with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the 12 months preceding
such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related
Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls
of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in the Master
Servicer's or the Special Servicer's possession) and any engineers' reports,
environmental surveys or similar reports that the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer may have obtained and that support such determination. If the Master
Servicer intends to obtain an appraisal in connection with the foregoing, the
Master Servicer shall so notify the
-200-
Special Servicer and consult with the Special Servicer regarding such appraisal.
In determining whether any Servicing Advance constitutes a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be
entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the related
Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (as such terms may have
been modified), to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Property
in its "as is" or then current condition and with its then current occupancies,
all as modified by such party's reasonable assumptions (consistent with the
Servicing Standard) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse
change with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, to estimate and consider
(among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other
things) the timing of recoveries. In addition, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer may update or change its recoverability determination at any
time with respect to any Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer may obtain
from the Special Servicer any analysis, appraisals or market value estimates or
other information in the possession of the Special Servicer for purposes of
determining whether a Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.
The Trustee and any Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any
determination by the Master Servicer (and the Trustee, any Fiscal Agent and the
Master Servicer shall rely on any determination by the Special Servicer) that a
Servicing Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance;
provided, however, that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has
failed to make a Servicing Advance for reasons other than a determination by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that such Servicing
Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee or any Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, shall make such Servicing Advance within the time periods required
by Section 3.11(f) unless the Trustee or such Fiscal Agent, in good faith, makes
a determination that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(i) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the
Master Servicer shall (at the direction of the Special Servicer if a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property is involved) pay directly
out of the Pool Custodial Account and/or (if a Serviced Loan Combination is
involved) the related Loan Combination Custodial Account, in accordance with
Section 3.05(a) or Section 3.05A, as applicable, any servicing expense that, if
advanced 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 Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO
Property is involved) has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard
that making such payment, in the case of withdrawals from a Loan Combination
Custodial Account, is in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the
related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder (as a collective whole), or,
in the case of withdrawals from the Pool Custodial Account, is in the best
interests of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole), as evidenced in
each case by an Officer's Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Controlling Class Representative and any affected Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), 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
promptly delivered 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. The Master Servicer may, absent
manifest error, conclusively rely on any information in this regard provided by
the Special Servicer (if other than the Master Servicer or an Affiliate
thereof).

SECTION 3.12. Property Inspections; Collection of Financial
Statements; Delivery of Certain Reports.
(a) The Special Servicer shall perform or cause to be performed a
physical inspection of the Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan
as soon as practicable after such Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and annually thereafter for so long as such Mortgage Loan
remains a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the cost of which shall be paid by
the Master Servicer, at the direction of the Special Servicer, and shall be
reimbursable as a Servicing Advance. In addition, the Special Servicer shall
perform or cause to be performed a physical inspection of each of the
Administered REO Properties at least once per calendar year, the cost of which
shall be paid by the Master Servicer, at the direction of the Special Servicer,
and shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance. Beginning in 2008, the Master
Servicer shall at its expense perform or cause to be performed a physical
inspection of each Mortgaged Property securing a Performing Serviced Mortgage
Loan: (i) at least once every two calendar years in the case of Mortgaged
Properties securing Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans that have outstanding
principal balances of (or Mortgaged Properties having allocated loan amounts of)
$2,000,000 or less; and (ii) at least once every calendar year in the case of
all other such Mortgaged Properties; provided that, the Master Servicer will not
be required to perform or cause to be performed an inspection on a Mortgaged
Property if such Mortgaged Property has been inspected by the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer in the preceding six (6) months. The Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer shall each promptly prepare or cause to be prepared and
deliver to the Trustee, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s) (if the subject Mortgaged Property secures a Serviced Loan
Combination) and each other a written report of each such inspection performed
by it that sets forth in detail the condition of the Mortgaged Property and that
specifies the existence of: (i) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the
Mortgaged Property of which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, is aware, (ii) any change in the condition or value of the Mortgaged
Property that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in its
reasonable, good faith judgment, considers material, or (iii) any waste
committed on the Mortgaged Property. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer
shall each forward copies of any such inspection reports prepared by it to the
Underwriters, the Controlling Class Representative and the Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan Noteholders, upon request, subject to payment of a reasonable fee.
The Special Servicer, in the case of each Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan and each REO Mortgage Loan that relates to an Administered REO Property,
and the Master Servicer, in the case of each Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan,
shall each, consistent with the Servicing Standard, use reasonable efforts to
obtain quarterly, annual and other periodic operating statements and rent rolls
with respect to each of the related Mortgaged Properties and REO Properties. The
Special Servicer shall, promptly following receipt, deliver copies of the
operating statements and rent rolls received or obtained by it to the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver copies of the operating
statements and rent rolls received or obtained by it (including pursuant to the
preceding sentence) to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, any related Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s) (if the subject Mortgaged Property secures
a Serviced Loan Combination) or any Controlling Class Certificateholder, in each
case upon request.
Within 30 days after receipt by the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, of any annual operating statements with respect to any
Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property that secures an Outside
Serviced Loan Combination) or Administered REO Property, the Master Servicer
(with respect to a Mortgaged Property that secures a Performing Serviced
Mortgage
-202-
Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to a Mortgaged Property that
secures a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or with respect to an Administered
REO Property) shall prepare or update and forward to the Trustee a CMSA NOI
Adjustment Worksheet for such Mortgaged Property or Administered REO Property
(with, upon request, the annual operating statements attached thereto as an
exhibit).
The Master Servicer, with respect to a Mortgaged Property that secures
a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Special Servicer, with respect to a
Mortgaged Property that secures a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or with
respect to an Administered REO Property, shall prepare and maintain one CMSA
Operating Statement Analysis Report for each such Mortgaged Property and
Administered REO Property. The CMSA Operating Statement Analysis Report for each
such Mortgaged Property and REO Property is to be updated by the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, within 30 days after its receipt of updated
operating statements for a Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may
be. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use the
"Normalized" column from the CMSA NOI Adjustment Worksheet for any Mortgaged
Property or REO Property, as the case may be, to update and normalize the
corresponding annual year-end information in the CMSA Operating Statement
Analysis Report and shall use any annual operating statements and related data
fields received with respect to any Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the
case may be, to prepare the CMSA NOI Adjustment Worksheet for such property.
Copies of CMSA Operating Statement Analysis Reports and CMSA NOI Adjustment
Worksheets (as well as any comparable items received with respect to an Outside
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property) are to be forwarded by
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to each other, the
Trustee and any Controlling Class Certificateholder, in each case upon request.
(b) Not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day
after each Trust Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Master Servicer the following reports with respect to the
Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loans and any Administered REO Properties and,
to the extent that the subject information relates to when they were Specially
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loans, with respect to any Corrected Trust Mortgage
Loans, providing the required information as of the related Determination Date:
(A) a CMSA Special Servicer Loan File, (B) a CMSA Servicer Appraisal Reduction
Template, and (C) a CMSA Servicer Realized Loss Template.
(c) Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second
Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall furnish
to the Trustee and, upon request, to the Depositor, the Underwriters and the
Special Servicer, by electronic transmission (or in such other form to which the
Trustee or the Depositor, as the case may be, and the Master Servicer may
agree), an accurate and complete CMSA Loan Periodic Update File providing the
required information for the Trust Mortgage Loans and any REO Trust Mortgage
Loans as of the related Determination Date (or, in the case of an Outside
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with
respect thereto, as of the end of the related Underlying Collection Period). In
the case of information to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 3.12(c), insofar as such information is solely within
the control of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer (if other than the
Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof) shall have no obligation to provide
such information until it has received such information from the Special
Servicer, shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the CMSA
Loan Periodic Update File caused by the Special Servicer's failure to timely
provide any report required under this Agreement and may, absent actual
knowledge of an error therein, conclusively rely on the reports to be provided

respective Mortgage Loan Sellers or any Mortgagor with respect to the CMSA Loan
Periodic Update File, CMSA Loan Setup File, CMSA Property File and CMSA
Financial File.
Not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business

Determination Date with respect to each subject Trust Mortgage Loan and/or REO
Property; and (iii) a CMSA Advance Recovery Report providing the required
information for the Trust Mortgage Loans and any REO Trust Mortgage Loans as of
the related Determination Date (or, in the case of an Outside Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan with respect thereto, as
of the end of the related Underlying Collection Period).
The Master Servicer shall incorporate in the foregoing reports
referred to above in this Section 3.12(c) any information and reports received
(by the date in the month of such Distribution Date that such information and
reports are scheduled to be received in accordance with the related Outside
Servicing Agreement) from the applicable Outside Servicer with respect to each
Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Trust Mortgage Loan
with respect thereto. The Master Servicer shall include on one of such reports
updated information as of the applicable Determination Date regarding the amount
of accrued and unpaid interest on Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(g)

(d) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its
reasonable judgment, that information regarding the Trust Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties (in addition to the information otherwise required to be contained in
the CMSA Investor Reporting Package) should be disclosed to Certificateholders
and Certificate Owners, then the Master Servicer or, solely as to Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties, the Special Servicer,
shall so notify the Trustee, set forth such information in an additional report,
in a format reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Master Servicer and, if
applicable, the Special Servicer (the "Supplemental Report"), and deliver such
report to the Trustee upon preparation thereof or simultaneously with the
delivery of the Master Servicer's reports described in Section 3.12(c).
(e) The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the
reports set forth in Section 3.12(b) in an electronic format reasonably
acceptable to the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, and the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and, upon request,
any Controlling Class Certificateholder, the reports set forth in Section
3.12(c) in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to 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, with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or an
Outside Administered REO Property, by a related Outside Servicer pursuant to the
related Outside Servicing Agreement. The
-204-
Trustee may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports to be
provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(c) to the extent that
the underlying information is solely within the control of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, and the Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute,
recalculate or verify the information provided to it by the Master Servicer. In
the case of information or reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.12(c), if and to the extent that such information
is based on reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section
3.12(b) or by an Outside Servicer pursuant to an Outside Servicing Agreement, or
if and to the extent such reports are to be prepared and delivered by the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or by an Outside Servicer pursuant
to an Outside Servicing Agreement, then, so long as the Master Servicer and the
party required to provide the subject reports are not the same Person or
Affiliates, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such
information or reports to the Trustee until it has received such information or
reports from the Special Servicer or the relevant Outside Servicer, as
applicable, and the Master Servicer is entitled to conclusively rely on such
information provided by the Special Servicer or relevant Outside Servicer, as
applicable. The Master Servicer shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay
in providing the reports required by Section 3.12(c) caused by the Special
Servicer's failure to timely provide any report required under Section 3.12(b)
of this Agreement, or by an Outside Servicer's failure to provide any report
required to be provided to the holder of the related Outside Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Outside Servicing Agreement or the related
Co-Lender Agreement, as applicable.
(f) The preparation and maintenance by the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer of all the reports specified in this Section 3.12, including
the calculations made therein, shall be done in accordance with CMSA standards
to the extent applicable thereto.
(g) 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 (i) physically delivering a paper copy of such
statement, report or information (ii) delivering such statement, report or
information in a commonly used electronic format or (iii) other than with
respect to a delivery by the Master Servicer to the Special Servicer or a
delivery by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer, making such statement,
report or information available on such servicer's internet website and
delivering notice to the intended recipient of such availability and the
location of such website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular
method of delivery.

Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder: (i) copies of operating statements and rent

Serviced Loan Combination.
(b) If the Mortgage Loans forming a Serviced Loan Combination
constitute Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, or if a Mortgaged Property
securing a Serviced Loan Combination has become an REO Property, then each
calendar month, not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second
Business Day prior to the applicable Loan Combination Master Servicer Remittance
Date in
-205-
such month, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the

2:00 p.m.) (New York City time) on each applicable Master Servicer Remittance
Date, the Master Servicer shall, with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination,
prepare all Loan Combination Servicing Reports as may be relevant and that are

Section 3.12A(b). The Master Servicer shall also include on one of such reports
updated information as of the applicable Loan Combination Determination Date
regarding the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on Advances in accordance
with Section 3.11(g) and/or 4.03(d), such information to be presented on a
loan-by-loan basis.
(d) The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the
reports set forth in Section 3.12A(b) in an electronic format reasonably
acceptable to the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer
may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports to be provided by
the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12A(b). In the case of information or
reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to a Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage
Loan Noteholder pursuant to Section 3.12A(f), to the extent that such
information is based on reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.12A(b) and/or that such reports are to be prepared and delivered by
the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12A(b), so long as the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer are not the same Person or Affiliates, the
Master Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such information or reports
until it has received such 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 3.12A(f) caused by the Special
Servicer's failure to timely provide any report required under Section 3.12A(b)
of this Agreement.
(e) The preparation and maintenance by the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer of all the reports specified in this Section 3.12A, including
the calculations made therein, shall be done in accordance with CMSA standards,
to the extent applicable thereto.
(f) Not later than 4:00 p.m. (or, in the case of a Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan that is part of a Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Securitization Trust,
2:00 p.m.) (New York City time) on each related Master Servicer Remittance Date,
the Master Servicer shall forward or make available to the related Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s) all related Loan Combination Servicing Reports

Section 3.12A, during the calendar month in which such Master Servicer
Remittance Date occurs.
(g) The Master Servicer shall only be obligated to deliver the
statements, reports and information contemplated by Section 3.12A(f) to the
extent it receives the necessary underlying information from the Special
Servicer and shall not be liable for its failure to deliver such statements,
reports and information on the prescribed due dates, to the extent caused by the
failure of the Special Servicer to deliver timely such underlying information.
Nothing herein shall obligate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to
violate any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information with
-206-
respect to the related Mortgagor, and the failure of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer to disseminate information for such reason shall not be a
breach hereunder.
Absent manifest error of which it has actual knowledge, neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for the accuracy
or completeness of any information supplied to it by a Mortgagor, a Mortgage
Loan Seller or third party that is included in any reports, statements,
materials or information prepared or provided by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement. Neither the Master
Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any obligation to verify the
accuracy or completeness of any information provided by a Mortgagor, a Mortgage
Loan Seller, a third party or each other.
SECTION 3.13. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
Each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
shall deliver (or, in the case of the Trustee, make available), and shall cause
(or, in the case of the Master Servicer with respect to a Sub-Servicer
identified on Exhibit K hereto, shall use reasonable efforts to cause) each
Additional Item 1123 Servicer retained or engaged by it to deliver, to the
Trustee, the Rating Agencies, the Depositor and each Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage
Loan Noteholder, at no expense to the Trust, on or before April 30 of each year,
beginning in 2008 (or, as to any such year, such earlier date as is contemplated
by the last sentence of this paragraph), a statement of compliance (the "Annual
Statement of Compliance") from the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or such Additional Item 1123 Servicer, as the case may be, signed by an
authorized officer thereof, to the effect that (i) a review of the activities of
the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or such Additional Item
1123 Servicer, as the case may be, during the preceding calendar year (or, in
the case of the first such certification, during the period from the Closing
Date to December 31, 2007, inclusive) and, in particular, of its performance
under this Agreement (or, in the case of an Additional Item 1123 Servicer, under
the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement or primary servicing agreement), has been
made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer's
knowledge, based on such review, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or such Additional Item 1123 Servicer, as the case may be, has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of an
Additional Item 1123 Servicer, under the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement or
primary servicing agreement) in all material respects throughout such preceding
calendar year or portion thereof (or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any
such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to
such officer and the nature and status thereof). Notwithstanding the timing
provided for in the first sentence of this paragraph, if (as confirmed in
writing by the Depositor) the Depositor or any other party hereto is required to
file an Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Commission in respect of the Trust
covering any particular calendar year, or (if applicable) any other depositor,
trustee and/or other certifying party and certifying officer with respect to a
related securitization trust is required to file an Annual Report on Form 10-K
with the Commission in connection with the securitization of any Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan covering any particular calendar year and so notifies
the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, then the Annual
Statement of Compliance to be delivered during the following year by each of the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and by each Additional
Item 1123 Servicer with which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has
entered into a servicing relationship with respect to any one or more Mortgage
Loans, shall be delivered (in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel or in such other
mutually agreeable format) on or before March 15 of such following year to the
Trustee, the Depositor, each Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder and any
such depositor, trustee and/or other certifying party and certifying officer
with respect to a related
-207-
securitization trust, as applicable; and the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer are hereby notified that the Depositor is required to file an Annual
Report on Form 10-K with the Commission in respect of the Trust covering
calendar year 2007.
In the event that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Trustee is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such
party shall provide, and shall cause (or, in the case of the Master Servicer
with respect to a Sub-Servicer identified on Exhibit K hereto, shall use
reasonable efforts to cause) any Additional Item 1123 Servicer retained or
engaged by such party to provide, an annual statement of compliance pursuant to
this Section 3.13 with respect to the period of time that the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer or the Trustee was subject to this Agreement. In addition,
in the event that any Additional Item 1123 Servicer retained or engaged by the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is terminated or resigns
pursuant to the terms of any applicable servicing agreement, such party shall
cause (or, in the case of the Master Servicer with respect to a Sub-Servicer
identified on Exhibit K hereto, shall use reasonable efforts to cause) the
subject Additional Item 1123 Servicer retained or engaged by such party to
provide an annual statement of compliance pursuant to this Section 3.13 with
respect to the period of time that the Additional Item 1123 Servicer was subject
to such other servicing agreement.
In the event the Trustee or the Depositor does not receive the Annual
Statement of Compliance with respect to any party hereto or, if the Trustee has
been notified of the existence thereof, any Additional Item 1123 Servicer
contemplated to deliver such report pursuant to the preceding paragraph, by
March 15th of any year during which an Annual Report on Form 10-K is required to
be filed with the Commission with respect to the Trust, then the Trustee shall,
and the Depositor may, forward a Servicer Notice to such Person (or, in the case
of an Additional Item 1123 Servicer known to the Trustee or the Depositor, as
the case may be, to the party hereto that retained or engaged such Additional
Item 1123 Servicer), with a copy of such Servicer Notice to the Depositor (if
the Trustee is sending the Servicer Notice) or the Trustee (if the Depositor is
sending the Servicer Notice), as applicable, within two (2) Business Days of
such failure. Any party hereto that retains or engages, during an Exchange Act
Reporting Year, a Servicing Representative (other than a Sub-Servicer identified
on Exhibit K hereto) that is, with respect to such Exchange Act Reporting Year,
an Additional Item 1123 Servicer shall so notify the Trustee (unless such party
is the Trustee) and the Depositor in writing promptly following such party's
becoming aware that such Servicing Representative is or has become an Additional
Item 1123 Servicer; and, further, if such Servicing Representative does not
deliver an Annual Statement of Compliance with respect to itself by March 15th
of any year during which a Form 10-K is required to be filed with the Commission
with respect to the Trust, the party hereto that retained or engaged such
Servicing Representative shall so notify the Trustee (unless such party is the
Trustee) and the Depositor in writing no later than the second Business Day
following such March 15th.
If any party hereunder is also acting as an Outside Servicer with
respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or Outside Administered REO
Property during any portion of an Exchange Act Reporting Year in respect of the
Trust, then such party shall, in its capacity as such Outside Servicer, comply
with the provisions of this Section 3.13 applicable to the Master Servicer (if
the subject party is also acting as an Outside Master Servicer) or the Special
Servicer (if the subject party is also acting as an Outside Special Servicer),
as applicable, but reflecting that such Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or
such Outside Administered REO Property is being serviced and administered under
the related Outside Servicing Agreement.

year that is not an Exchange Act Reporting Year, the Trustee shall not be
required to deliver its Annual Statement of Compliance set forth above in this
Section 3.13.

any such Servicing Function Participant's or such Sub-Servicing Function
Participant's, as the case may be, Annual Assessment Report or Annual

(1) Business Day following the date on which such report was to be delivered)

with reasonable efforts)); and (ii) as an exhibit to each report delivered by a
Servicing Function Participant or a Sub-Servicing Function Participant pursuant

to the immediately preceding clause (i), together with (if required to be filed
with the Commission under applicable law) the written consent of such registered
public accounting firm authorizing the filing of such Annual Attestation Report
with the Commission as part of any registration statement applicable to the
registration of the Registered Certificates and/or any Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Securities. Each Annual Attestation Report must be available for general use and

Participant retained or engaged by a party hereto that is known to the Trustee
or the Depositor, as the case may be, by March 15th of any year during which an
Annual Report on Form 10-K is required to be filed with the Commission with

purposes of this Section 3.14, as well as Section 3.13 and Section 7.01(v)(B) of
this Agreement, a "Servicer Notice" shall constitute either any writing
forwarded to such party or, in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.05, e-mail notice or fax

Servicer to no more than three e-mail addresses in the aggregate in order to
fulfill its notification requirement as set forth in the preceding sentence
and/or under the provisions of Section 7.01(v)(B).
Any party hereto that retains or engages, during an Exchange Act
Reporting Year, a Servicing Representative (other than a Sub-Servicer identified
on Exhibit K hereto) that is, with respect to such Exchange Act Reporting Year,
a Sub-Servicing Function Participant shall so notify the Trustee (unless such
party is the Trustee) and the Depositor in writing promptly following such
party's becoming aware that such Servicing Representative is or has become a
Sub-Servicing Function Participant; and, further, if such Servicing
Representative does not deliver or cause the delivery of an Annual Assessment
Report, an Annual Attestation Report (together with, if required to be filed
with the Commission under applicable law, the consent of the applicable
registered public accounting firm to file such corresponding Annual Attestation
Report with the Commission) with respect to itself by March 15th of any year
during which a Form 10-K is required to be filed with the Commission with
respect to the Trust, the party hereto that retained or engaged such Servicing
Representative shall promptly so notify the Trustee (unless such party is the

Outside Trustee with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or

portion of an Exchange Act Reporting Year in respect of the Trust, then such
party shall, in its capacity as such Outside Servicer or Outside Trustee, as the
case may be, comply with the provisions of this Section 3.14 applicable to the
Master Servicer (if the subject party is also acting as an Outside Master
Servicer), the Special Servicer (if the subject party is also acting as an
Outside Special Servicer) or the Trustee (if the subject party is also acting as
an Outside Trustee), as applicable, but reflecting that such Outside Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan or such Outside Administered REO Property is being serviced
and administered under the related Outside Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, with respect to each
year that is not an Exchange Act Reporting Year, the Trustee shall not be
required to deliver its report on an Annual Assessment Report or the Annual
Attestation Report for itself set forth above in this Section 3.14.
SECTION 3.15. Access to Certain Information.
(a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford
to the Trustee, the Underwriters, the Rating Agencies, the Depositor, any
Certificateholder, any Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder and any
Certificate Owner (identified as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be), and to the OTS,
the FDIC and any other banking or insurance regulatory authority that may
exercise authority over any Certificateholder, any Certificate Owner (identified
as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be) or any Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder, access to any records regarding the Serviced Mortgage Loans and the
servicing thereof within its control (which access shall be limited, in the case
of any Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder or any regulatory authority
seeking such access in respect of a Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder,
to records relating to the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan), except to
the extent it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law or contract or to
the extent such information is subject to a privilege under applicable law to be
asserted on behalf of the Certificateholders or the Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage
Loan Noteholders. Such access shall be afforded 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.
In connection with providing or granting any information or access
pursuant to the prior paragraph to a Certificateholder, a Certificate Owner, a
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder or any regulatory authority that may
exercise authority over a Certificateholder, a Certificate Owner or a Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
each may require payment from such Certificateholder, a Certificate Owner or a
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover the
reasonable costs and expenses of providing such information or access, including
copy charges and reasonable fees for employee time and for space; provided that
no charge may be made if such information or access was required to be given or
made available under applicable law. In connection with providing
Certificateholders and Certificate Owners access to the information described in
the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
require (prior to affording such access) a written confirmation executed by the
requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, generally to
the effect that such Person is a Holder of Certificates or a beneficial holder
of Book-Entry Certificates and will keep such information confidential.
-212-
Upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder, or any
Certificate Owner identified to the Master Servicer to the Master Servicer's
reasonable satisfaction, the Master Servicer may provide (or forward
electronically) (at the expense of such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner)
copies of any operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements obtained
by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer; provided that, in connection
therewith, the Master Servicer shall require a written confirmation executed by
the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable
to the Master Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is a Holder of
Certificates or a beneficial holder of Book-Entry Certificates and will keep
such information confidential.
(b) No less often than on a monthly basis, upon reasonable prior
notice and during normal business hours, each of the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer
available to answer questions (if and to the extent the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible (or, in the case of the
Special Servicer, would be responsible upon the occurrence of a Servicing
Transfer Event) for the servicing thereof) from the following parties: (i) the
Controlling Class Representative regarding the performance and servicing of the
Mortgage Loans and/or the REO Properties; and (ii) the related Serviced Loan
Combination Controlling Party regarding the performance and servicing of each
Serviced Loan Combination and/or any related REO Property. Except as provided in
the following sentence, in connection with providing the Controlling Class
Representative with the information described in the preceding sentence, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall require (prior to providing such
information for the first time to such Controlling Class Representative) a
Controlling Class Representative Confirmation (as defined in Section 6.09(b)),
generally to the effect that such Person will keep any information received by
it from time to time pursuant to this Agreement confidential (other than with
respect to communications with the Controlling Class). In the case of the
initial Controlling Class Representative, upon its or an Affiliate's acquisition
of any of the Class T Certificates, such entity shall be deemed to have agreed
to keep all non-public information received by it in such capacity from time to
time pursuant to this Agreement confidential, subject to applicable law, and
such initial Controlling Class Representative shall be deemed to have made such
agreement without delivery of the Controlling Class Representative Confirmation.
SECTION 3.16. Title to REO Property; REO Accounts.
(a) If title to any Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged
Property that secures an Outside Serviced Loan Combination) is acquired, the
deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee or its nominee on
behalf of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property that
secures a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of the related Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s). If, pursuant to Section 3.09(b), the Special
Servicer formed or caused to be formed, at the expense of the Trust, a single
member limited liability company (of which the Trust is the sole member) for the
purpose of taking title to one or more Administered REO Properties pursuant to
this Agreement, then (subject to the interests of any affected Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder), the deed or certificate of sale with
respect to any such Administered REO Property shall be issued to such single
member limited liability company. The limited liability company shall be 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 Administered 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.
-213-
The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and, in the case of
any Administered REO Property that relates to a Serviced Loan Combination, the
related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), shall sell any
Administered REO Property by the end of the third calendar year following the
calendar year in which the applicable REMIC Pool acquires 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 end of such third
succeeding year, for 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, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer,
to the effect that the holding by the applicable REMIC Pool of such Administered
REO Property subsequent to the end of such third succeeding year will not result
in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" (as defined in Section
860F of the Code) of any REMIC Pool or cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. If the Special
Servicer is granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the
immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by
clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall
sell the subject Administered REO Property within such extended period as is
permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be.
Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its obtaining
the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or
its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second
preceding sentence, or for the creation of and the operating of a single member
limited liability company, shall be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Servicing
Advance.
(b) The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected
and received in connection with any Administered REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur in
respect of any Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property that secures
a Loan Combination), the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or
more accounts (collectively, the "Pool REO Account"), to be held on behalf of
the Trustee in trust for the sole benefit of the Certificateholders, for the
retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property (other
than any REO Property that relates to a Loan Combination). If such REO
Acquisition occurs with respect to the Mortgaged Property that secures any
Serviced Loan Combination, then the Special Servicer shall establish one or more
accounts solely with respect to such property (the related "Loan Combination REO
Account"), to be held for the sole benefit of the Certificateholders and the
related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s). The Pool REO Account and
each Loan Combination REO Account shall each be an Eligible Account. The Special
Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the applicable REO Account,
upon receipt, all REO Revenues, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of any Administered REO Property. Funds
in an REO Account (other than any such funds representing Additional Interest)
may be invested 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 such REO Account for any related
Investment Period). The Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and
the Master Servicer of the location of each REO Account, and shall give notice
to the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s) of the location of
any Loan Combination REO Account, in each case when first established and of the
new location of any such REO Account prior to any change thereof.
-214-
(c) The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the related REO Account
funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and
disposition of any Administered REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts
on deposit in such REO Account relating to such REO Property. On the Business
Day following each Trust Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall withdraw
from any Pool REO Account and deposit into the Pool Custodial Account (or
deliver to the Master Servicer or such other Person as may be designated by the
Master Servicer for deposit into the Pool Custodial Account) the aggregate of
all amounts received in respect of each Administered REO Property (other than
any Administered REO Property relating to a Serviced Loan Combination) during
the Trust Collection Period ending on such Trust Determination Date, net of any
withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence and,
further, net of any reserves to be maintained in the Pool REO Account in
accordance with the last sentence of this Section 3.16(c). On the Business Day
following each related Loan Combination Determination Date, the Special Servicer
shall withdraw from the Loan Combination REO Account related to any Serviced
Loan Combination and deposit into the Loan Combination Custodial Account that
relates to such Serviced Loan Combination (or deliver to the Master Servicer or
such other Person as may be designated by the Master Servicer for deposit into
such Loan Combination Custodial Account) the aggregate of all amounts received
in respect of any Administered REO Property that relates to such Serviced Loan
Combination during the related Loan Combination Collection Period ending on such
related Loan Combination Determination Date, net of any withdrawals made out of
such amounts pursuant to the second preceding sentence and, further, net of any
reserves to be maintained in the related Loan Combination REO Account in
accordance with the last sentence of this Section 3.16(c). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Special Servicer may retain in the related REO Account such
portion of proceeds and collections in respect of any Administered REO Property
as may be necessary to maintain a reserve of sufficient funds for the proper
operation, management, leasing, maintenance and disposition of such REO Property
(including the creation of a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements,
necessary capital replacements and other related expenses), such reserve not to
exceed an amount sufficient to cover such items to be incurred during the
following 12-month period.
(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, each REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b) or (c). The
Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer any information with respect
to each REO Account as is reasonably requested by the Master Servicer.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.16 shall
not apply to any Outside Administered REO Property.
SECTION 3.17. Management of REO Property.
(a) Prior to the acquisition by it of title to a Mortgaged Property
(other than a Mortgaged Property that secures an Outside Serviced Loan
Combination), the Special Servicer shall review the operation of such Mortgaged
Property and determine the nature of the income that would be derived from such
property if it were acquired by the Trust Fund. If the Special Servicer
determines from such review that:
(i) None of the income from Directly Operating such Mortgaged
Property would be subject to tax as "net income from foreclosure property"
within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions or would be subject to the tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under
-215-
Section 860F of the Code (either such tax referred to herein as an "REO
Tax"), then such Mortgaged Property may be Directly Operated by the Special
Servicer as REO Property;
(ii) Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property as REO Property
could result in income from such property that would be subject to an REO
Tax, but that a lease of such property to another party to operate such
property, or the performance of some services by an Independent Contractor
with respect to such property, or another method of operating such property
would not result in income subject to an REO Tax, then the Special Servicer
may (provided that in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special
Servicer, it is commercially reasonable) acquire such Mortgaged Property as
REO Property and so lease or operate such REO Property; or
(iii) It is reasonable to believe that Directly Operating such
property as REO Property could result in income subject to an REO Tax and
that no commercially reasonable means exists to operate such property as
REO Property without the Trust Fund incurring or possibly incurring an REO
Tax on income from such property, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the
Tax Administrator, in writing, a proposed plan (the "Proposed Plan") to
manage such property as REO Property. Such plan shall include potential
sources of income, and, to the extent reasonably possible, estimates of the
amount of income from each such source. Upon request of the Special
Servicer, the Tax Administrator shall advise the Special Servicer of the
Tax Administrator's federal income tax reporting position with respect to
the various sources of income that the Trust Fund would derive under the
Proposed Plan. After receiving the information described in the preceding
sentence from the Tax Administrator, the Special Servicer shall implement
the Proposed Plan (after acquiring the respective Mortgaged Property as REO
Property), with any amendments required to be made thereto as a result of
the Tax Administrator's tax reporting position.
The Special Servicer's decision as to how each Administered REO
Property shall be managed and operated shall be based on the Servicing Standard
and, further, based on the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special
Servicer as to which means would be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders (and, in the case of any Administered REO Property related to
a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s)), as a collective whole, by maximizing (to the extent commercially
reasonable and consistent with Section 3.17(b)) the net after-tax REO Revenues
received with respect to such property without materially impairing the Special
Servicer's ability to promptly sell such property for a fair price. In
connection with performing their respective duties under this Section 3.17(a),
both the Special Servicer and the Tax Administrator may consult with counsel and
tax accountants, the reasonable cost of which consultation shall be covered by,
and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance to be made by the Special Servicer.
(b) If title to any Administered REO Property is acquired, the Special
Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such REO Property for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of any Administered REO
Property related to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)) solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition
and sale in a manner that does not and will not: (i) cause such REO Property to
fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code; or (ii)
except as contemplated by Section 3.17(a), either result in the receipt by any
REMIC Pool of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of
Section 860F(a)(2)(B)
-216-
of the Code or result in an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust
Event. 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
consistent with the Servicing Standard and, consistent therewith, shall withdraw
from the related REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with
respect to any Administered REO Property, funds necessary for the proper
operation, management, maintenance and disposition of such REO Property,
including:
(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; and
(iv) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain, lease, sell,
protect, manage, operate and restore such REO Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the related REO Account in
respect of any Administered REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set
forth in the preceding sentence with respect to such REO Property, the Master
Servicer shall, at the direction of the Special Servicer, make Servicing
Advances in such amounts as are necessary for such purposes unless the Master
Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such
payment would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer may make any such Servicing Advance without regard to recoverability if
it is a necessary fee or expense incurred in connection with the defense or
prosecution of legal proceedings.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special
Servicer shall not, with respect to any Administered REO Property:
(i) enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to
such Administered REO Property, if the New Lease, by its terms would 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 such Administered
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
Serviced Mortgage 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 such Administered REO Property
on any date more than 90 days after the related REO Acquisition;
-217-
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, at the
direction of the Special Servicer, and shall be reimbursable as a Servicing
Advance) to the effect that such action would not cause such Administered REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code at
any time that it is held by a REMIC Pool, in which case the Special Servicer may
take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
(d) The Special Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor
for the operation and management of any Administered REO Property; provided
that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm's
length;
(ii) the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be
expenses of the Trust Fund and, in the case of any Administered REO
Property that relates to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)) shall be reasonable and customary in
consideration of the nature and locality of such Administered REO Property;
(iii) except as permitted under Section 3.17(a), any such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor, in a timely manner, (A) pay out of related REO
Revenues all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation
and management of such Administered REO Property, including those listed in
Section 3.17(b) above, and (B) except to the extent that such revenues are
derived from any services rendered by the Independent Contractor to tenants
of such Administered REO Property that are not customarily furnished or
rendered in connection with the rental of real property (within the meaning
of Section 1.856-4(b)(5) of the Treasury regulations or any successor
provision), 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(d) 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 such Administered 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
Administered 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 under Section 3.16 and this Section 3.17 for indemnification of
the Special Servicer by any such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. No agreement
entered into pursuant to this Section 3.17(d) shall be deemed a Sub-Servicing
Agreement for purposes of Section 3.22.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.17 shall
not apply to any Outside Administered REO Property.
-218-
SECTION 3.18. Sale of Trust Mortgage Loans and Administered REO
Properties.
(a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may sell
or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Trust Mortgage Loan or
Administered REO Property only in connection with a Permitted Purchase of such
Trust Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, as the case may be, and/or in
connection with a sale of such Administered REO Property in accordance with this
Section 3.18.
(b) Within five (5) Business Days after the Special Servicer has
knowledge that any Trust Mortgage Loan has become a Specially Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall give notice (the "Purchase Option
Notice") of such event to the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s) (if such Trust Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan
Combination), each Holder of a Certificate of the Controlling Class and the
Trustee. The Special Servicer and the Majority Controlling Class
Certificateholder(s) and any assignees of the foregoing parties (such parties
and assignees being the "Purchase Option Holders") shall each have an option to
purchase such Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan at a cash price that is at
least equal to the Purchase Price; provided that a material default exists with
respect to such Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) and any assignee
thereof shall have the sole right to purchase such Specially Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan at a price at least equal to the Purchase Price for the subject
Trust Mortgage Loan prior to any purchase option of the Special Servicer or its
assignee; provided, however, if the option to purchase such Specially Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan is not exercised by the Majority Controlling Class
Certificateholder(s) or any assignee thereof within 15 days after receiving the
Purchase Option Notice from the Special Servicer, then each Purchase Option
Holder shall have the right to purchase such Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loan at a price at least equal to the Purchase Price for the subject Trust
Mortgage Loan and during the time that such purchase is afforded to the Purchase
Option Holders, the Special Servicer shall accept the first offer by a Purchase
Option Holder that is at least equal to the Purchase Price; and provided,
further, that the option of any Purchase Option Holder to purchase such
Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan at a price at least equal to the Purchase
Price in accordance with this subsection (b) shall terminate at such time that
notice is given by the Special Servicer of the FV Price (as defined below)
pursuant to subsection (c) below.
(c) Upon the expiration of 30 days following the date that the Special
Servicer gives a Purchase Option Notice regarding a Specially Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan, if none of the Purchase Option Holders has exercised its option
to purchase such Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan as described in
subsection (b) above, then (i) provided that a material default exists with
respect to such Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, each Purchase Option
Holder will then have an option to purchase such Specially Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the FV Price (as defined below) of such
Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan and (ii) the Special Servicer shall
promptly obtain an MAI appraisal (the cost of which shall be covered by a
Servicing Advance) of the related Mortgaged Property by an Independent Appraiser
(unless such an appraisal was obtained within one year of the date of the
Purchase Option Notice and the Special Servicer has no knowledge of any
circumstances that would materially affect the validity of such appraisal).
Promptly after obtaining such MAI appraisal (or, in the event such an appraisal
was already in the possession of or available to the Special Servicer as
contemplated by the last parenthetical of the immediately preceding sentence and
none of the Purchase Option Holders has exercised its option to purchase such
Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan as described in subsection (b) above,
promptly after the expiration of 30 days following the date of the subject
Purchase Option
-219-
Notice), the Special Servicer shall determine the fair value (the "FV Price")
for the subject Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
Servicing Standard and the provisions of subsection (i) below. Promptly after
determining such FV Price, the Special Servicer shall provide notice of such FV
Price to the Trustee and each Purchase Option Holder.
(d) If the Special Servicer determines that it is willing, or another
Purchase Option Holder notifies the Special Servicer that it is willing, to
purchase any Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan as to which a material
default exists at a price (a "FV Bid") that is equal to or above the FV Price,
then the Special Servicer shall notify all other Purchase Option Holders that it
has made or received, as the case may be, such FV Bid (without disclosing the
amount of such FV Bid). All other Purchase Option Holders may submit competing
bids within the ten (10) Business Day period following such notice. At the
conclusion of the above-described ten (10) Business Day period, the Special
Servicer shall accept the highest bid received from any Purchase Option Holder
that is at least equal to the FV Price for the subject Specially Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan.
(e) If the Special Servicer accepts the bid of any Purchase Option
Holder, such Purchase Option Holder shall be required to purchase the subject
Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan within ten (10) Business Days of receipt
of notice of such acceptance; provided, that neither the Special Servicer nor
any Holder of a Certificate of the Controlling Class shall be liable for the
failure of any assignee whose bid has been accepted by the Special Servicer to
complete any such purchase.
(f) If the Special Servicer has not accepted a FV Bid prior to the
expiration of 120 days from its determination of the FV Price and thereafter
receives a FV Bid or a request from a Purchase Option Holder for an updated FV
Price, the Special Servicer shall within 45 days recalculate the FV Price (with
no presumption that such FV Price should be reduced on account of the lack of an
FV Bid) and repeat the notice and bidding procedure provided in subsection (d)
above until the purchase option terminates under subsection (j) below.
(g) If the party exercising the purchase option at the FV Price for
any Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan is the Special Servicer or an
Affiliate thereof, the Trustee shall verify that the FV Price of such Trust
Mortgage Loan is at least equal to the fair value of such Trust Mortgage Loan.
In conducting such verification, the Trustee will be permitted to conclusively
rely on an appraisal obtained by the Trustee from an Independent Appraiser at
the time it is required to verify such FV Price and/or the opinion of an
Independent expert in real estate matters (including the Master Servicer) with
at least five years' experience in valuing or investing in loans, similar to the
subject Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, that has been selected by the
Trustee with reasonable care at the expense of the Trust Fund.
(h) Any Purchase Option Holder may, once such purchase option is
exercisable pursuant to this Section 3.18, assign its purchase option with
respect to any Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan to a third party other
than the related Mortgagor or, if such assignment would violate the terms of any
related co-lender, intercreditor or similar agreement, any Affiliate of the
related Mortgagor; and, upon such assignment such third party shall have all of
the rights that had been granted to the Purchase Option Holder hereunder in
respect of the purchase option. Such assignment shall only be effective upon
written notice (together with a copy of the executed assignment and assumption
agreement) being delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer. Any Purchase Option Holder that acquires, pursuant to this Section
3.18, a Trust Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan
-220-
Combination must satisfy the requirements for an acceptable transferee under the
related Co-Lender Agreement.
(i) In determining the FV Price for any Specially Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan under this Section 3.18, the Special Servicer may take into
account, among other factors, the results of any appraisal or updated appraisal
(the cost of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance) that it or the Master
Servicer may have obtained in accordance with this Agreement within the prior
twelve months; the opinions on fair value expressed by Independent investors in
mortgage loans comparable to the subject Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan;
the period and amount of any delinquency on the subject Specially Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan; the physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property; the
state of the local economy; and the expected recoveries from the subject
Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan if the Special Servicer were to pursue a
workout or foreclosure strategy instead of selling such Mortgage Loan to a
Purchase Option Holder.
(j) The purchase option for any Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall terminate, and shall not be exercisable as
set forth in subsections (b) and (c) above (or if exercised, but the purchase of
such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan has not yet occurred, shall terminate and
be of no further force or effect) if and when (i) the Special Servicer has
accepted a FV Bid (although the purchase option shall resume if the Person that
submitted that FV Bid does not complete the purchase of the subject Specially
Serviced Trust Mortgage within the time period provided for under Section
3.18(e)), (ii) such Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan has become a
Corrected Mortgage Loan or is otherwise no longer in material default, (iii) the
related Mortgaged Property has become an REO Property, (iv) a Final Recovery
Determination has been made with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan or (v) the subject Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan has been removed
from the Trust Fund.
(k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if and for so
long as an Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan constitutes a "Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan" (or the equivalent) under the related Outside Servicing
Agreement as to which there exists a material default, then such Outside
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a "Specially Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan" for purposes of, and be subject to the purchase options
contemplated by, Sections 3.18(b) through 3.18(j); provided that the FV Price
described above may be calculated based upon, among other things, appraisals and
other reasonably appropriate information obtained from the related Outside
Servicers under the related Outside Servicing Agreement. If the Special Servicer
has received insufficient information from the applicable Outside Servicer with
respect to any such Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan in order to establish a
FV Price, it will base such determination only on a current Appraisal and on
information otherwise available or reasonably obtainable by it, at the expense
of the Trust. In addition, if the Special Servicer is determining a FV Price
with respect to any Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan and has not received
from the applicable Outside Servicer an appraisal with respect to the Mortgaged
Property securing such Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan that is dated within
the 12 month period prior to the determination of the FV Price, then the Special
Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the Trust, a new Appraisal of the
subject Mortgaged Property. If the Special Servicer determines that a FV Price
cannot be established for any such Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan based on
a current Appraisal and other information available to it, then none of the
purchase option holders will be permitted to exercise the purchase option at a
FV Price. In connection with the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to withdraw from the Pool Custodial Account any out-of-pocket expenses
associated with making such FV Price determination.
-221-
(l) Until such time as a FV Bid is accepted with respect to any
Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall continue to
pursue all of the other resolution options available to it with respect to such
Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing
Standard.
(m) Any Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan that is purchased
pursuant to the purchase option provided for in this Section 3.18 will remain
subject to any cure and/or purchase rights of any holder of a related mezzanine
loan in connection with a Mortgage Loan default as set forth in the related
intercreditor agreement. In addition, if any Combination Trust Mortgage Loan is
purchased pursuant to the purchase option provided for in this Section 3.18 then
it will remain subject to any cure and/or purchase rights of the related
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s) provided for under the related
Co-Lender Agreement. Furthermore, if the District at Tustin Legacy Trust
Mortgage Loan is purchased pursuant to this Section 3.18, then it will remain
subject to the purchase rights of the City of Tustin provided for under the
District at Tustin Legacy DDA. If any Serviced Loan Combination is comprised of
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Special Servicer has determined a FV
Price with respect to the related Combination Trust Mortgage Loan in accordance
with this Section 3.18, the Special Servicer shall provide to the related
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s) all material information in its possession
that has formed the basis of such FV Price, including the most current Appraisal
in its possession.
(n) The Special Servicer shall use its best efforts to solicit offers
for each Administered REO Property in such manner as will be reasonably likely
to realize a fair price within the time period provided for by Section 3.16(a).
Subject to Section 3.27 and/or Section 6.11, if and as applicable, the Special
Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple bids are received
contemporaneously or subsequently, the highest) cash offer received from any
Person that constitutes a fair price for such Administered REO Property. If the
Special Servicer reasonably believes that it will be unable to realize a fair
price for any Administered REO Property within the time constraints imposed by
Section 3.16(a), then (subject to Section 3.27 and/or Section 6.11, in each case
if and as applicable) the Special Servicer shall dispose of such Administered
REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer shall deem
necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances
and, in connection therewith, shall accept the highest outstanding cash bid,
regardless of from whom received.
(o) The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee and the Depositor
prior written notice of its intention to sell any Administered REO Property
pursuant to this Section 3.18.
(p) No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to
purchase any Administered REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its
Affiliates may bid for or purchase any Administered REO Property pursuant
hereto.
(q) Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any
Administered REO Property for purposes of this Section 3.18, shall be determined
by the Special Servicer or, if such cash offer is from the Special Servicer or
an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, by the Trustee. In determining whether any
offer received from the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer
represents a fair price for any Administered REO Property, the Trustee shall be
supplied with and shall be entitled to rely on the most recent appraisal in the
related Servicing File conducted in accordance with this
-222-
Agreement within the preceding 12-month period (or, in the absence of any such
appraisal or if there has been a material change at the subject Administered REO
Property since any such appraisal, on a new appraisal to be obtained by the
Special Servicer (the cost of which shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as,
a Servicing Advance)). The appraiser conducting any such new appraisal shall be
an Independent Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if neither the Special
Servicer nor any Affiliate thereof is bidding with respect to an Administered
REO Property and selected by the Trustee if either the Special Servicer or any
Affiliate thereof is so bidding. Where any Interested Person is among those
bidding with respect to an Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer shall
require that all offers be submitted to it (and, if the Special Servicer or any
Affiliate thereof is bidding, to the Trustee) in writing and be accompanied by a
refundable deposit of cash in an amount equal to 5% of the offer amount. In
determining whether any offer from a Person other than itself or one of its
Affiliates constitutes a fair price for any Administered REO Property, the
Special Servicer shall take into account the results of any appraisal or updated
appraisal that it or the Master Servicer may have obtained in accordance with
this Agreement within the prior 12 months, and any Independent Appraiser shall
be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the
occupancy level and physical condition of the subject Administered REO Property,
the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of the subject
Administered REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.16(a).
The Purchase Price for any Administered REO Property shall in all cases be
deemed a fair price. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3.18,
no cash offer from the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall
constitute a fair price for any Administered REO Property unless such offer is
the highest cash offer received and at least two independent offers (not
including the offer of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof) have been
received. In the event the offer of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate
thereof is the only offer received or is the higher of only two offers received,
then additional offers shall be solicited. If an additional offer or offers, as
the case may be, are received and the original offer of the Special Servicer or
any Affiliate thereof is the highest of all cash offers received, then the offer
of the Special Servicer or such Affiliate shall be accepted, provided that the
Trustee has otherwise determined, as provided above in this Section 3.18(q),
that such offer constitutes a fair price for any Administered REO Property. Any
offer by the Special Servicer shall be unconditional; and, if accepted, the
subject Administered REO Property shall be transferred to the Special Servicer
without recourse, representation or warranty other than customary
representations as to title given in connection with the sale of a real
property.
(r) Subject to Sections 3.18(a) through 3.18(q) above, and further
subject to Section 3.27 and/or Section 6.11, in each case if and as applicable,
the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee in negotiating with
independent third parties seeking to purchase an Administered REO Property and
taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of
any Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property pursuant
to this Section 3.18, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection
therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective
bidders for any Administered REO Property, and may retain, fees that approximate
the Special Servicer's actual costs in the preparation and delivery of
information pertaining to, or evaluating bids for, such Administered REO
Property without obligation to deposit such amounts into any Custodial Account.
Any sale of a Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO
Property pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall be final and without recourse to
the Trustee or the Trust, and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, neither the Special Servicer nor the Trustee shall have
any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price
therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.
-223-
(s) Any sale of a Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan or an
Administered REO Property pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall be for cash only
and shall be on a servicing released basis.
SECTION 3.19. Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer and
Special Servicer; Obligations to Notify Ground Lessors and Hospitality
Franchisors; the Special Servicer's Right to Request the Master Servicer to Make
Servicing Advance.
(a) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in
the Collection Account on each Trust Master Servicer Remittance Date, without
any right of reimbursement therefor, an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the
aggregate amount of all Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, incurred in
connection with Principal Prepayments Received by the Trust, during the most
recently ended applicable Collection Period, with respect to Performing Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loans and, if it constitutes a "Performing Serviced Mortgage
Loan" (or the equivalent) under the related Outside Servicing Agreement, any
Outside Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan; and (ii) the sum of (1) the aggregate of
all Master Servicing Fees received by the Master Servicer during such Collection
Period with respect to the entire Mortgage Pool (but only to the extent of that
portion thereof calculated at a rate of 0.01% per annum with respect to each and
every Trust Mortgage Loan and REO Trust Mortgage Loan) and (2) the aggregate
amount of Prepayment Interest Excesses received in respect of the entire
Mortgage Pool during such Collection Period; provided, however, that if any
Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs with respect to any Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loan as a result of the Master Servicer's allowing the Mortgagor to deviate from
the terms of the related loan documents regarding principal prepayments, the
Master Servicer shall be obligated to pay an amount equal to the entire
Prepayment Interest Shortfall with respect to the subject Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan without any limitation of the kind set forth in clauses (1) and
(2) above. The Master Servicer hereby agrees to utilize commercially reasonable
efforts to direct each Mortgagor to make principal prepayments in accordance
with the timeframes set forth in the related loan documents.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, as to each Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan
which is secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a Ground Lease,
even if the corresponding fee interest is encumbered, promptly (and in any event
within 60 days) following the Closing Date, notify the related ground lessor of
the transfer of such Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan to the Trust Fund 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.
(c) The Master Servicer shall, as to each Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan
which is secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor in a hospitality
property (as identified on Schedule VI hereto), not later than the later of (i)
30 days following the Master Servicer's receipt of the subject franchise
agreement and (ii) the expiration of the period that may be required for such
notice pursuant to the terms of the applicable franchise documents, if any,
notify the related hospitality franchisor of the transfer of such Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement and inform such
hospitality franchisor that any notices of default under the related franchise
agreement should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if the Special Servicer is required under this Agreement to make any
Servicing Advance but does not desire to do so, the Special Servicer may, in its
sole discretion, request that the Master Servicer make such
-224-
Servicing Advance, such request to be made, in writing, at least five (5)
Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2)
Business Days, provided that the written request sets forth the nature of the
emergency or the basis of the urgency) in advance of the date on which such
Servicing Advance is required to be made hereunder and to be accompanied by such
information and documentation regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the
Master Servicer may reasonably request. The Master Servicer shall have the
obligation to make any such Servicing Advance that it is so requested by the
Special Servicer to make, within five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency
situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days) of the Master Servicer's
receipt of such request. If the request is timely and properly made, the Special
Servicer shall be relieved of any obligations with respect to a Servicing
Advance that it so requests the Master Servicer to make (regardless of whether
or not the Master Servicer shall make such Servicing Advance). The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Servicing Advance made by it
at the direction of the Special Servicer, together with interest thereon in
accordance with Sections 3.05(a) or 3.05A and/or 3.11(g), as applicable, 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 Advances made thereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.19(d), the
Master Servicer shall not be required to make at the direction of the Special
Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines in its
reasonable, good faith judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not
characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is
in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the
Special Servicer in writing of such determination, which shall be made pursuant
to Section 3.11(h). Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer
make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special
Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance, and the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any Fiscal Agent shall be
entitled to conclusively rely on such determination. Upon making a
determination, in accordance with the applicable requirements under Section
3.11(h), that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made with
respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property is
a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer shall report its
determination to the Master Servicer and the Trustee. The Master Servicer, the
Trustee and any Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a
determination by the Special Servicer.
(e) The Master Servicer (if a Performing Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan
is involved) and the Special Servicer (if a Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loan or an REO Trust Mortgage Loan is involved) shall each be responsible for:
(i) providing on a timely basis to any lender of any related mezzanine debt such
notices (including with respect to Mortgage Loan defaults), reports and other
information as may be required from the Trust, as holder of any Trust Mortgage
Loan, under any related co-lender, intercreditor or similar agreement; and (ii)
otherwise taking such actions as are required under or contemplated by the
related co-lender, intercreditor or similar agreement to permit any lender of
related mezzanine debt to exercise any purchase option or cure rights that it
may have with respect to any Trust Mortgage Loan under such related co-lender,
intercreditor or similar agreement.
(f) Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any funds or other assets
remaining in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, to the extent not otherwise
required to be part of the Available Distribution Amount for the Final
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 3.05(e), shall be distributed to
the Holder or Holders of the Class R-III Certificates. The Trustee and the
Special Servicer shall account for the Loss of Value Reserve Fund as an outside
reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury regulations
-225-
section 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any REMIC Pool or Grantor Trust Pool.
Furthermore, for all federal tax purposes, the Trustee and the Special Servicer
shall treat: (i) any amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to the
Certificateholders as distributions by the REMIC Pools for all federal tax
purposes; and (ii) any amounts transferred by a REMIC Pool to the Loss of Value
Reserve Fund as amounts distributed by such REMIC Pool to the beneficial owner
of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The Holder or Holders of the Class R-III
Certificates will be the sole beneficial owner(s) of the Loss of Value Reserve
Fund for all income and franchise tax purposes.
(g) [RESERVED.]
(h) In connection with a mediation and/or arbitration proceeding
conducted in accordance with Section 2.03(i) hereof or Section 5(i) of any
UMLS/Depositor Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, in the
event that the Master Servicer is the party acting on behalf of the Trust in
such mediation and/or arbitration proceeding and such mediation and/or
arbitration proceeding relates to a Specially Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer shall consult with the Special Servicer prior to consenting to
or entering into any final resolution, settlement or agreement with respect
thereto.
(i) Without the prior written consent of the applicable Mortgage Loan
Seller, the Master Servicing Group (as defined below) shall not disclose to any
Person employed by the Master Servicer or an affiliate thereof that is part of a
business unit that originates or refinances mortgage loans any information that
the Master Servicing Group has received or obtained or generated or is otherwise
in its possession as a result of its acting as Master Servicer hereunder. In
addition, without the prior written consent of the applicable Mortgage Loan
Seller, the Master Servicing Group shall not take any direct action, nor will it
direct a third party to take any action, to refinance or solicit the refinancing
of any Mortgage Loan. For purposes of this Section 3.19(i), the "Master
Servicing Group" shall mean the business unit of the Master Servicer (which,
with respect to Wachovia Bank, National Association, is called Real Estate Asset
Management) that is in the business of master servicing and/or primary servicing
commercial mortgage loans that are in securitizations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the following shall not constitute violations of this Section
3.19(i): (i) dissemination of information or reports as contemplated by this
Agreement, (ii) promotions undertaken by the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of
the Master Servicer which are directed to commercial mortgage loan borrowers,
originators and mortgage brokers generally, which promotions, in each case, are
based upon information that has been acquired from a source other than the
Master Servicing Group, including, without limitation, commercially acquired
mailing lists or information generally available in the public domain, (iii)
actions taken in connection with serving the refinancing needs of a Mortgagor
who, without such solicitation by the Master Servicer as described in the second
preceding sentence, contacts the Master Servicer in connection with the
refinance of such Mortgage Loan, or (iv) actions taken or communications made by
the Master Servicing Group in connection with the sale or refinance of a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(j) If any Serviced Mortgage Loan provides that the applicable grace
period during which any Monthly Payment is due (without giving rise to a
default) does not commence until after notice is given to the related Mortgagor,
then the Master Servicer shall monitor the receipt of all Monthly Payments with
respect to such Mortgage Loan. If any such Monthly Payment on any such Mortgage
Loan is not received by the related Due Date, then the Master Servicer shall use
reasonable efforts to provide, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, as
soon as reasonably practicable, written
-226-
notice of such failure to the related Mortgagor sufficient to cause the
commencement of the applicable grace period.
SECTION 3.20. Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents;
Defeasance.
(a) Subject to Sections 3.20(b) through 3.20(f) and 3.20(m) below, and
further subject to Section 3.08, Section 3.27 and/or Section 6.11, in each case
if and as applicable, and any related intercreditor, co-lender or similar
agreement (including, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced
Loan Combination, the related Co-Lender Agreement), the Special Servicer (or,
under certain circumstances specified herein, the Master Servicer) may, on
behalf of the Trustee and, in the case of a Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan,
the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder, agree to any
modification, extension, waiver or amendment of any term of any Serviced
Mortgage Loan and respond to various Mortgagor requests for consent on the part
of the mortgagee (including the lease reviews and lease consents related
thereto), without the consent of the Trustee, any Certificateholder, any
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder, the Master Servicer (in the case of
any such action taken by the Special Servicer) or, except as expressly set forth
below, the Special Servicer (in the case of any such action taken by the Master
Servicer). Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer (in its capacity
as such) may agree with the related Mortgagor to any modification, extension,
waiver or amendment of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(b) All modifications, extensions, waivers or amendments of any
Serviced Mortgage Loan, including the lease reviews and lease consents related
thereto, shall be in writing and shall be considered and effected in a manner
consistent with the Servicing Standard. All modifications, extensions, waivers
or amendments of a Co-Lender Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement
relating to a Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be in writing and shall be considered
and effected in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard.
(c) In the case of any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, and subject
to the rights of the Special Servicer set forth below, the Master Servicer shall
(without the consent of the Trustee, any Certificateholder, any Serviced
Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder or, except as expressly set forth herein, the
Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative or a Loan Combination
Controlling Party), be responsible for the following:
(i) approving routine leasing activity (including any
subordination, standstill and attornment agreements) with respect to any
lease for less than the lesser of (A) 20,000 square feet and (B) 20% of the
related Mortgaged Property;
(ii) approving a change of the property manager at the request of
the related Mortgagor, provided that (A) the successor property manager is
not affiliated with the Mortgagor and is a nationally or regionally
recognized manager of similar properties, (B) the subject Mortgage Loan
does not have an outstanding principal balance in excess of $5,000,000 and
(C) the subject Mortgaged Property does not secure a Loan Combination;
(iii) approving any waiver affecting the timing of receipt of
financial statements from any Mortgagor, provided that such financial
statements are delivered no less than quarterly and within 60 days of the
end of the calendar quarter;
-227-
(iv) approving annual budgets for the related Mortgaged Property;
provided that no such budget (A) provides for the payment of operating
expenses in an amount equal to more than 110% of the amounts budgeted
therefor for the prior year or (B) provides for the payment of any material
expenses to any affiliate of the Mortgagor (other than the payment of a
management fee to any property manager if such management fee is no more
than the management fee in effect on the Cut-off Date);
(v) subject to other restrictions herein regarding Principal
Prepayments, waiving any provision of a Mortgage Loan requiring a specified
number of days notice prior to a Principal Prepayment;
(vi) approving modifications, consents or waivers (other than
those set forth in Sections 3.20(d) and (e)) in connection with a
defeasance permitted by the terms of the subject Performing Serviced
Mortgage Loan if the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (which
Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of the Mortgagor) to the effect that
such modification, waiver or consent would not cause any REMIC Pool to fail
to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or result in a "prohibited
transaction" under the REMIC Provisions; provided that the Master Servicer
shall not approve any modification that would reduce the amount of the
Defeasance Collateral required to be delivered in connection with any such
defeasance; and
(vii) consenting to subject the related Mortgaged Property to an
easement, right-of-way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking,
public improvements or another purpose, and consenting to subordination of
the subject Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan to such easement, right-of
way or similar agreement provided the Master Servicer shall have determined
in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such easement, right-of-way
or similar agreement shall not materially interfere with the then-current
use of the related Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided
by the related Mortgage, or the related Mortgagor's ability to repay the
subject Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or materially and adversely
affect the value of the related Mortgaged Property, or cause the subject
Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan to cease to be a "qualified mortgage" for
REMIC purposes;
provided that, (1) any such modification, waiver or amendment would not in any
way affect a payment term (including (except as provided in Section 3.20(o)
below) a waiver of the payment of assumption fees) of the subject Performing
Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than in the case of a waiver of the payment of
Default Charges), (2) agreeing to such modification, waiver or amendment would
be consistent with the Servicing Standard, (3) agreeing to such modification,
waiver or amendment will not violate the terms, provisions or limitations of
this Agreement and (4) any such modification, waiver or amendment does not
materially violate the terms, conditions and limitations of Section 3.08, if
applicable. With respect to any action proposed to be taken by the Master
Servicer under this Section 3.20(c) where any thresholds in clauses (i) through
(vii) of the preceding sentence are exceeded, or which cannot be taken by the
Master Servicer by reason of the proviso to the previous sentence, the Special
Servicer only may take such action (if and to the extent otherwise permitted
under this Agreement).
For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any request for the disbursement of earnouts or holdback amounts with
respect to (i) any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan received by the Master
Servicer shall be submitted to the Special Servicer for approval
-228-
and processing, (ii) any Earnout Trust Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan received by the Master Servicer shall be processed by the
Master Servicer and submitted to the Special Servicer for approval (which
request, in the case of this clause, shall be deemed approved if the request is
not denied by the Special Servicer in writing to the Master Servicer within ten
(10) Business Days of the Special Servicer's receipt of such request) and (iii)
any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan that is not an Earnout Trust Mortgage Loan
received by the Master Servicer shall be approved and processed by the Master
Servicer. For purposes of this Agreement, "disbursement of earnouts or holdback
amounts" shall mean the disbursement or funding to a Mortgagor of previously
unfunded, escrowed or otherwise reserved portions of the loan proceeds of the
applicable Mortgage Loan until certain conditions precedent thereto relating to
the satisfaction of performance-related criteria (i.e., project reserve
thresholds, lease-up requirements, sale requirements, etc.) as set forth in the
applicable Mortgage Loan documents, have been satisfied.
Except as permitted by Section 3.02(a), Section 3.03(d), Section 3.07,
Section 3.08, this Section 3.20(c), Section 3.20(m) and Section 3.20(o), or
otherwise as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Master Servicer may not
agree to waive, modify or amend any term of any Serviced Mortgage Loan
(including allowing the Mortgagor to deviate from the terms of the related loan
documents regarding principal prepayments) or respond to any Mortgagor requests
for mortgagee consent and shall forward such requests to the Special Servicer.
Furthermore, the Master Servicer may not in any event agree to any modification,
extension, waiver or amendment of any term of any Serviced Mortgage Loan that
would cause an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse
Grantor Trust Event with respect to any Grantor Trust Pool.
(d) Except as provided in Section 3.02(a), Section 3.07, Section 3.08,
Section 3.20(e), Section 3.20(m) and Section 3.20(o), the Special Servicer, on
behalf of the Trustee or, in the case of a Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, the
related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder, shall not agree or consent
to any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of any term of any Serviced
Mortgage Loan that would:
(i) affect the amount or timing of any scheduled payment of
principal, interest or other amount (including Prepayment Premiums or Yield
Maintenance Charges, but excluding Default Charges and, subject to Section
3.20(o), other amounts payable as additional servicing compensation)
payable thereunder;
(ii) affect the obligation of the related Mortgagor to pay a
Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge, or effectuate the waiver of
any prepayment restriction thereunder or permit a Principal Prepayment
during any period in which the related loan documents prohibit Principal
Prepayments;
(iii) except as expressly contemplated by the related Mortgage or
pursuant to Section 3.09(d), result in a release of the lien of the
Mortgage on any material portion of the related Mortgaged Property without
a corresponding Principal Prepayment in an amount not less than the fair
market value (as determined by an appraisal by an Independent Appraiser
delivered to the Special Servicer at the expense of the related Mortgagor
and upon which the Special Servicer, absent manifest error, may
conclusively rely) of the property to be released; or
-229-
(iv) in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Special
Servicer, otherwise materially impair the security for such Mortgage Loan
or reduce the likelihood of timely payment of amounts due thereon.
Furthermore, the Special Servicer may not agree to any modification,
extension, waiver or amendment of any term of any Serviced Mortgage Loan that
would cause an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse
Grantor Trust Event with respect to any Grantor Trust Pool.
(e) Notwithstanding Section 3.20(d), but subject to Section 3.20(o),
Section 3.27 and/or Section 6.11, in each case if and as applicable, and the
second and third paragraphs of this Section 3.20(e), the Special Servicer may--
(i) reduce the amounts owing under any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan by forgiving principal, accrued interest (including
Additional Interest) or any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge,
(ii) reduce the amount of the Monthly Payment on any Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, including by way of a reduction in the related
Mortgage Rate,
(iii) forbear in the enforcement of any right granted under any
Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other loan document relating to a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan,
(iv) accept a Principal Prepayment on any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan during any Lockout Period, or
(v) extend the maturity of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan;
provided that (A) the related Mortgagor is in monetary default or material
non-monetary default with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or,
in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Special Servicer, such default is
reasonably foreseeable, (B) in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the
Special Servicer, such modification, extension, waiver or amendment would
increase the recovery on such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to
Certificateholders (as a collective whole) or, if a Serviced Loan Combination is
involved, would increase the recovery on such Loan Combination to
Certificateholders and the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder(s) (as a collective whole), on a present value basis (the relevant
discounting of anticipated collections that will be distributable to the
Certificateholders (or, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, to
Certificateholders and the related Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)), to be
performed at the related Mortgage Rate(s)), and (C) such modification,
extension, waiver or amendment would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event with
respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to any
Grantor Trust Pool; and provided, further, that any modification, extension,
waiver or amendment of the payment terms of a Serviced Loan Combination shall be
structured so as to be consistent with the allocation and payment priorities set
forth in the related loan documents and the related Co-Lender Agreement, such
that neither the Trust, as holder of the Trust Mortgage Loan that constitutes
part of that Serviced Loan Combination, on the one hand, nor any of the related
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholders, on the other hand, shall gain a
priority over any other such holder with respect to any payment, which priority
is not, as of the date of the related Co-Lender Agreement, reflected in such
loan documents and such Co-Lender Agreement; and provided, further,
-230-
that, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, to the extent consistent
with the Servicing Standard (taking into account the extent to which any
Serviced Subordinate Non-Trust Mortgage Loan that is part of such Serviced Loan
Combination is junior to the Trust Mortgage Loan and any Pari Passu Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan that is part of the same Serviced Loan Combination), (1) no
waiver, reduction or deferral of any particular amounts due on the Trust
Mortgage Loan or any Pari Passu Non-Trust Mortgage Loan that is part of such
Serviced Loan Combination shall be effected prior to the waiver, reduction or
deferral of the entire corresponding item in respect of each Serviced
Subordinate Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, if any, that is part of such Serviced Loan
Combination, and (2) no reduction of the Mortgage Rate on the Trust Mortgage
Loan or any Pari Passu Non-Trust Mortgage Loan that is part of such Serviced
Loan Combination shall be effected prior to the reduction of the Mortgage Rate
on each Serviced Subordinate Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, if any, that is part of
such Serviced Loan Combination, to the fullest extent possible. In the case of
every other modification, waiver or amendment agreed to by the Special Servicer,
the Special Servicer shall determine and may rely on an Opinion of Counsel
(which Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Trust Fund to the
extent not paid by the related Mortgagor) to the effect that such modification,
waiver or amendment would not either (1) cause an Adverse REMIC Event with
respect to any REMIC Pool or (2) result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with
respect to any Grantor Trust Pool.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Special Servicer:
(i) extend the maturity date of a Serviced Mortgage Loan beyond the date that is
two (2) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date; (ii) extend the
maturity date of any Serviced Mortgage Loan for more than five (5) years beyond
its Stated Maturity Date; (iii) if the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan is secured
solely or primarily by a Mortgage on the leasehold interest under a Ground Lease
(but not the related fee interest), extend the maturity date of such Serviced
Mortgage Loan beyond the date which is twenty (20) years (or, to the extent
consistent with the Servicing Standard, giving due consideration to the
remaining term of the Ground Lease, ten (10) years) prior to the expiration of
the term of such Ground Lease; or (iv) permit the release or substitution of a
Mortgaged Property or any material portion thereof (other than as expressly
provided in this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan documents) unless it has
received written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such action will not
result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Certificates
rated by such Rating Agency.
The determination of the Special Servicer contemplated by clause (B)
of the proviso to the first paragraph of this Section 3.20(e) shall be evidenced
by an Officer's Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)) and describing in reasonable
detail the basis for the Special Servicer's determination. The Special Servicer
shall attach to such Officer's Certificate any information including but not
limited to income and expense statements, rent rolls, property inspection
reports and appraisals that support such determination.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none
of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall give any consent, approval or direction regarding the termination of the
related property manager or the designation of any replacement property manager
or, if such Mortgaged Property is hospitality property, give any consent,
approval or direction regarding the termination of the franchise or the
designation of a new franchise, with respect to any Mortgaged Property that
secures a Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan that has an unpaid principal balance that
is at least equal to the lesser of $20,000,000 and 2% of the then aggregate
principal balance of the Mortgage Pool or is one of the ten (10) largest
(measured by unpaid principal balance) Trust Mortgage
-231-
Loans in the Mortgage Pool, unless: (1) the mortgagee is not given discretion
under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan to withhold its consent; or (2) it
has received prior written confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if a
Serviced Loan Combination is involved and if such Serviced Loan Combination
includes a Specially Designated Securitized Non-Trust Mortgage Loan, each
applicable Other Rating Agency) that such action will not result in an Adverse
Rating Event with respect to any Class of Certificates or class of Specially
Designated Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Securities rated by such rating agency.
Any party hereto seeking rating agency confirmation with respect to
the matters described above shall deliver a Review Package to such rating
agency.
(g) Any payment of interest that is deferred pursuant to any
modification, extension, waiver or amendment permitted hereunder, shall not, for
purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance or Stated Principal
Balance of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of
such modification, extension, waiver or amendment so permit. The foregoing shall
in no way limit the Special Servicer's ability to charge and collect from the
Mortgagor costs otherwise collectible under the terms of the related Mortgage
Note.
(h) The Special Servicer or Master Servicer may, as a condition to
granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification, extension, waiver
or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within its
discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the
related Serviced Mortgage Loan and, further, by the terms of this Agreement and
applicable law, require that such Mortgagor pay to it (i) as additional
servicing compensation, a reasonable or customary fee for the additional
services performed in connection with such request, and (ii) any related costs
and expenses incurred by it. Any such fee that is to be shared by the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer may not be waived or reduced by either such
party without the consent of the other party. In no event shall the Special
Servicer or Master Servicer be entitled to payment for such fees or expenses
unless such payment is collected from the related Mortgagor.
(i) The Special Servicer and Master Servicer shall each notify the
other, any related Sub-Servicers, the Trustee and, if a Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan is affected, the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Noteholder, in writing, of any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of
any term of any Serviced Mortgage Loan (including fees charged the Mortgagor)
agreed to by it and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Trustee or any
related Custodian for deposit in the related Mortgage File (with a copy to be
delivered to or retained by, as applicable, the Master Servicer and, if a
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan is affected, the related Serviced Non-Trust
Mortgage Loan Noteholder), an executed counterpart of the agreement relating to
such modification, extension, waiver or amendment promptly following execution
and delivery thereof, to be followed by an original recorded counterpart
promptly following the recordation (and receipt) thereof.
(j) To the extent that either the Master Servicer or Special Servicer
waives any Default Charge in respect of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, whether
pursuant to Section 3.02(a) or this Section 3.20, the respective amounts of
additional servicing compensation payable to the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer as Net Default Charges out of such Default Charges shall be reduced
proportionately based upon the respective amounts that would have been payable
thereto as Net Default Charges out of such Default Charges if such waiver had
not been granted.
-232-
(k) If, with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (1) under which the
lender can require defeasance in lieu of prepayment, or (2) that permits
defeasance, the Master Servicer shall receive a notice from the related
Mortgagor that it intends to prepay or defease, as applicable, such Serviced
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms thereof, then the Master Servicer
shall, subject to the next paragraph and the related loan documents, (i) only
(x) in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan under clause (1) above and (y) if
such notice is received by the Master Servicer prior to any related prepayment
provision period designated as "O(z)" on Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement
with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan and the intended prepayment or
defeasance, as applicable, is anticipated to be effected prior to the
commencement of such period, promptly respond to such notice in a manner which
would require that the Mortgagor pledge Defeasance Collateral in lieu of such
prepayment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note, and (ii) upon the
written confirmation from each Rating Agency (and if a Serviced Loan Combination
that includes a Specially Designated Securitized Non-Trust Mortgage Loan is
involved, and any related Specially Designated Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Securities are rated by any Other Rating Agency that is not a Rating Agency,
from such Other Rating Agency) that the acceptance of a pledge of the Defeasance
Collateral (or, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan under clause (1) above,
that the acceptance of a pledge of the Defeasance Collateral in lieu of a full
prepayment) will not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class
of Certificates or class of Specially Designated Non-Trust Mortgage Loan
Securities rated by such rating agency, take such further action as provided in
such Mortgage Note to effectuate such defeasance, including the purchase and
perfection of the Defeasance Collateral on behalf of the Trustee (as mortgagee
of record on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced
Loan Combination, the affected Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s));
provided that the written confirmation contemplated by clause (ii) above shall
not be required from either Rating Agency in the case of a Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan (1) with an unpaid principal balance less than or equal to
$35,000,000, (2) that constitutes less than 5% of the aggregate unpaid principal
balance of the Mortgage Pool and (3) that does not then constitute one of the
ten largest (measured by unpaid principal balance) Trust Mortgage Loans in the
Mortgage Pool, so long as, in lieu of obtaining such written confirmation from
such Rating Agency the Master Servicer delivers to such Rating Agency a
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (a "Defeasance
Certificate"); and provided, further, that, the written confirmation
contemplated by clause (ii) above shall not be required from S&P and/or Fitch
(provided the Master Servicer delivers a Defeasance Certificate to the
applicable Rating Agency), as applicable, in the event the subject Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan complies with the then current applicable guidelines set
forth by such Rating Agency, or the unpaid principal balance of the subject
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, the percentage the subject Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loan constitutes of the Mortgage Pool or the relative size of the subject
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan with respect to the Mortgage Pool, as applicable,
does not exceed the then current applicable threshold for review as set forth by
such Rating Agency.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the related loan
documents, the Master Servicer shall not permit a pledge of Defeasance
Collateral under any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is also a Defeasance Mortgage
Loan if (i) such defeasance would occur within two (2) years of the Startup Day,
(ii) the Defeasance Collateral shall not be Government Securities, (iii) an
opinion of counsel confirming that the Trustee has a first priority security
interest in the Defeasance Collateral is not delivered, (iv) the defeased note
is not held by a special purpose entity with no material assets other than
Defeasance Collateral, (v) a certification from a firm of independent public
accountants confirming the adequacy of the Defeasance Collateral is not
delivered, (vi) all costs to be incurred in connection with such defeasance
(including Rating Agency fees, accountants' fees and costs incurred in
connection with
-233-
any required opinions of counsel) would not be paid by the related Mortgagor, or
(vii) unless such confirmation is not required pursuant to the first paragraph
of this Section 3.20(k), either Rating Agency does not confirm in writing to the
Master Servicer that the acceptance of a pledge of the Defeasance Collateral (in
lieu of a full prepayment, if applicable) will not result in an Adverse Rating
Event with respect to any Class of Certificates rated by such Rating Agency.
All expenses related to the defeasance of a Serviced Mortgage Loan
shall be charged to the related Mortgagor or other responsible party.
With respect to any Defeasance Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan, to the
extent the related Mortgage Loan documents expressly grant the lender or its
designee the right to appoint a successor borrower (or words of similar import)
thereunder in connection with a defeasance, the Trustee hereby designates LBHI
(if such Defeasance Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan is a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan) or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Defeasance
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan is a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) as its
designee with respect to the exercise of, and hereby grants to LBHI (if such
Defeasance Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan is a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Defeasance Serviced Trust
Mortgage Loan is a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) the right, in its capacity as
designee of the Trustee as holder of the subject Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan,
to exercise, the right and/or obligation of the lender under the related
Mortgage Loan documents to appoint a "successor borrower" (as defined under the
related Mortgage Loan documents) or words of similar import, to hold and pledge
the related Defeasance Collateral in the event a related Mortgagor exercises its
right pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents to defease the subject
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan and obtain the release of all or a portion of the
related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage (provided that
such rights and/or obligations as successor borrower shall be exercised in
accordance with customary terms and costs). In connection with the foregoing, if
the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as holder of the subject Defeasance Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan, receives written notice from the related Mortgagor that it
intends to defease the subject Defeasance Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, then the Trustee or the
Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall send a copy of such written notice to
LBHI (if such Defeasance Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan is a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage
Loan) or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Defeasance
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan is a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or (if LBHI or
the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, has notified
the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, in writing that it has
appointed a designee and has provided such party with such designee's contact
information for any notice required in connection therewith) the designee of
LBHI or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be,
promptly after receipt of such written notice. If, however, the Master Servicer,
in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that neither LBHI nor its
designee (if such Defeasance Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan is a Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan) or neither the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller nor its
designee (if such Defeasance Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan is a Non-Xxxxxx Trust
Mortgage Loan), as the case may be, is performing the duties related to the
appointment of a successor borrower in a timely manner and/or in accordance with
the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents (after LBHI or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, and the applicable
designee having been provided with written notice in accordance with this
paragraph and a reasonable period of time (which shall not be less than five (5)
Business Days) to perform such duties), then the Master Servicer (or a designee
of the Master Servicer) shall itself perform those obligations under the related
Mortgage Loan documents in accordance with the Servicing Standard, applicable
law and the related Mortgage Loan documents, and thereupon the
-234-
appointment of LBHI or its designee (if such Defeasance Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loan is a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), or the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan
Seller or its designee (if such Defeasance Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan is a
Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), as the case may be, in connection therewith
shall be null and void. In the event, with respect to a Defeasance Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan, that LBHI or its designee (if such Defeasance Serviced
Trust Mortgage Loan is a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), the related Unaffiliated
Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee (if such Defeasance Serviced Trust Mortgage
Loan is a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), or the Master Servicer or a designee
of the Master Servicer, actually appoints a successor borrower in accordance
with the related Mortgage Loan documents and the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph and the relevant portion or all, as applicable, of the subject
Mortgaged Property is released from the lien of the related Mortgage, then, to
the extent provided under the related Mortgage Loan documents, such successor
borrower shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the original
Mortgagor under such Defeasance Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan. If LBHI or the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, by written notice
to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, designates a third party to exercise its
rights under this paragraph and provides contact information therefor, then the
Trustee and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such
notice and, in such event, all notices required to be delivered to LBHI or the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, pursuant to this
paragraph shall be delivered to the designee of LBHI or the related Unaffiliated
Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be.
(l) If the Master Servicer receives notice from the Mortgagor under
any Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan that such Mortgagor intends to defease
such Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part, on or before the
second anniversary of the Closing Date, then promptly after receipt of such
notice the Master Servicer shall calculate or cause to be calculated the cash
amount required to be tendered by such Mortgagor to purchase the Defeasance
Collateral or other permitted collateral required to defease such Early
Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan. If (i) the defeasance is to be in full and the
cash amount required to be tendered by the Mortgagor to purchase the Defeasance
Collateral or other permitted collateral required to defease the subject Early
Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan (in accordance with the related loan documents)
is less than an amount equal to the Purchase Price (calculated as if the subject
Serviced Trust Mortgage Loan was to be repurchased in connection with a Material
Breach or Material Document Defect as of the date such defeasance is scheduled
to occur), or (ii) the defeasance is to be in part, or (iii) the defeasance is
to be in full and the related Mortgagor is to tender Defeasance Collateral or
such other collateral as is permitted in connection with a defeasance under the
related loan documents that does not constitute a cash amount equal to or
greater than the Purchase Price set forth in clause (i) above, then the Master
Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor (if such Early Defeasance Trust
Mortgage Loan is a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or the related Unaffiliated
Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan is a
Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan), and upon delivery by the related Mortgagor of
the Defeasance Collateral, or cash sufficient to purchase the Defeasance
Collateral, contemplated by the related loan documents, the Depositor (if such
Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan is a Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) or the
related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Early Defeasance Trust
Mortgage Loan is a Non-Xxxxxx Trust Mortgage Loan) shall be required, pursuant
to or as contemplated by Section 2.03(j) (if applicable), to repurchase such
Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan on or before the proposed date on which
such Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan will be defeased. The Master Servicer
shall use reasonable efforts to require the Depositor or the related
Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, to make any such required
repurchase described above. If the defeasance is to be in full and the cash
amount required to be tendered by the Mortgagor to
-235-
purchase the Defeasance Collateral or other permitted collateral required to
purchase the Defeasance Collateral or other permitted collateral required to
defease the subject Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan is equal to or exceeds
an amount equal to the Purchase Price set forth in clause (i) of the preceding
sentence (as calculated as of the date such purchase is to be made), then the
Master Servicer shall, notwithstanding the related loan documents, (i) treat the
cash amount tendered by such Mortgagor to defease the subject Early Defeasance
Trust Mortgage Loan as a prepayment in full of such Early Defeasance Trust
Mortgage Loan (provided that no Prepayment Interest Shortfalls shall be payable
by the Master Servicer in connection therewith) by the related Mortgagor on the
related Due Date coinciding with or next succeeding the defeasance date (and any
Excess Defeasance Deposit Proceeds shall be allocated by the Trustee among and
paid to the Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01, with any Excess
Defeasance Deposit Proceeds to constitute, and be treated in the same manner as
a payment of any other type of, Prepayment Consideration), (ii) deposit in the
Pool Custodial Account the cash amount tendered by such Mortgagor to purchase
the Defeasance Collateral or other permitted collateral required to defease the
subject Early Defeasance Trust Mortgage Loan, (iii) xxxx the Mortgage Note
"cancelled" and return it to such Mortgagor, and (iv) take such other and
further action, including the release of the Mortgage with respect to the
related Mortgaged Property, consistent with the prepayment in full of such
Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor and/or
the related Unaffiliated Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, of the foregoing.
(m) With respect to any ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated
Repayment Date, the Master Servicer shall be permitted, subject to obtaining the
Special Servicer's consent, to waive (such waiver to be in writing addressed to
the related Mortgagor, with a copy to the Trustee) all or any portion of the
accrued Additional Interest on such ARD Mortgage Loan if (i) such ARD Mortgage
Loan is a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, (ii) prior to the related maturity
date, the related Mortgagor has requested the right to prepay such ARD Mortgage
Loan in full together with all payments required under such ARD Mortgage Loan in
connection with such prepayment (except for all or a portion of such accrued
Additional Interest), and (iii) the Master Servicer has determined, in its
reasonable, good faith judgment, that the waiver of the Trust's right to receive
such accrued Additional Interest is reasonably likely to produce a greater
payment to Certificateholders (as a collective whole) on a present value basis
(the relevant discounting of anticipated collections that will be distributable
to Certificateholders to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) than a
refusal to waive the right to such Additional Interest. Neither the Master
Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability to the Trust, the
Certificateholders or any other Person so long as such determination is
exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
(n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none
of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall: (i) enter
into to any amendment or modification of any Co-Lender Agreement, the effect of
which would materially and adversely affect the interests of, or materially
increase or change the obligations of, any other such Person under such
Co-Lender Agreement, without first consulting with and obtaining the consent of
such other Person; or (ii) enter into any amendment or modification of any
Co-Lender Agreement unless such amendment or modification was consistent with
the Servicing Standard and satisfied the requirements for such amendments and
modifications set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement.
(o) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall waive, modify or
reduce any amount constituting an assumption fee (or portion thereof) payable by
a Mortgagor if and to the extent such assumption fee (or applicable
-236-
portion thereof) would be payable to the other such party as additional
servicing compensation, as the case may be, without the consent of such other
party. To the extent that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, in
accordance with the preceding sentence, waive (or consent to a waiver of, as
applicable) any amount constituting an assumption fee (or applicable portion
thereof) in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the respective amounts of additional
servicing compensation payable to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
from such assumption fee (or applicable portion thereof) shall be reduced
proportionately based upon the respective amounts that would have been payable
thereto as additional servicing compensation from such assumption fee (or
applicable portion thereof) if such waiver had not been granted.
SECTION 3.21. Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer and
Special Servicer; Record Keeping.
(a) Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with
respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan that had otherwise been a Performing
Serviced Mortgage Loan, and if the Master Servicer is not also the Special
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof (or, if
applicable, the Special Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof to the
Master Servicer), and the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of the related
Servicing File, to the Special Servicer and shall use reasonable 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 such Mortgage Loan, either in the Master
Servicer's or any of its directors', officers', employees', affiliates' or
agents' possession or control or otherwise available to the Master Servicer
without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the Special
Servicer to enable it to assume its functions hereunder with respect thereto
without acting through a Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of
the occurrence of each related Servicing Transfer Event (or of notice of the
occurrence of such Servicing Transfer Event, if applicable); provided, however,
that if the information, documents and records requested by the Special Servicer
are not contained in the Servicing File, the Master Servicer shall have such
period of time as reasonably necessary to make such delivery. The Special
Servicer may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the Master Servicer's
determination (and the Master Servicer may, absent manifest error, conclusively
rely on the Special Servicer's determination, as applicable) that a Servicing
Transfer Event has occurred giving rise to a Serviced Mortgage Loan's becoming a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be liable or in
default hereunder for any reasonable act or failure to act because of or arising
out of the Master Servicer's failure to deliver information, documents or
records with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with
the requirements hereof.
Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan has become a
Corrected Mortgage Loan, and if the Master Servicer is not also the Special
Servicer, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof, and shall
within five (5) Business Days of such occurrence return the related Servicing
File, together with any and all new information, documents and records relating
to the subject Mortgage Loan that were not part of the Servicing File when it
was delivered to the Special Servicer, to the Master Servicer (or such other
Person as may be directed by the Master Servicer) and upon giving such notice,
and returning such Servicing File, to the Master Servicer (or such other Person
as may be directed by the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer's obligation to
service such Mortgage Loan, and the Special Servicer's right to receive the
Special Servicing Fee with respect to such
-237-
Mortgage Loan shall terminate, and the obligations of the Master Servicer to
service and administer such Mortgage Loan shall resume.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with
the transfer to the Special Servicer of the servicing of a Cross-Collateralized
Mortgage Loan as a result of a Servicing Transfer Event or the re-assumption of
servicing responsibilities by the Master Servicer with respect to any such
Serviced Mortgage Loan upon its becoming a Corrected Mortgage 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 Group; provided that no
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan may become a Corrected Mortgage Loan at
anytime that a continuing Servicing Transfer Event exists with respect to
another Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan in the same Cross-Collateralized
Group.
(b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special
Servicer shall provide to the Custodian originals of newly executed documents
included within the definition of "Mortgage File" for inclusion in the related
Mortgage File (with a copy of each such original to the Master Servicer), and
shall provide to the Master Servicer copies of any additional related Mortgage
Loan information, including correspondence with the related Mortgagor.
(c) Upon request (and to the extent not otherwise already provided by
the Special Servicer pursuant to its reporting obligations hereunder), the
Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each
Rating Agency (or such other Person as may be directed by the Master Servicer) a
statement in writing and in computer readable format (the form of such statement
to be agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) describing,
on a loan-by-loan and property-by-property basis, (1) insofar as it relates to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, the information described
in clauses (x) through (xvii) and (xxii) of Section 4.02(a) (with respect to
information set forth in such clauses related to prior Distribution Dates and/or
periods, the Special Servicer may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on
information furnished to it by the Master Servicer or the Trustee) and, insofar
as it relates to the Special Servicer, the information described in clauses
(xxvi), (xxvii) and (xxxii) of Section 4.02(a), (2) the amount of all payments,
Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received, and
the amount of any Realized Loss incurred, with respect to each Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period, and the amount of
Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received, and
the amount of any Realized Loss incurred, with respect to each Administered REO
Property during the related Collection Period, (3) the amount, purpose and date
of all Servicing Advances made by the Special Servicer with respect to each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and Administered REO Property during the
related Collection Period, (4) in writing, a brief narrative summary of the
status of each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (5) such additional
information relating to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered
REO Properties as the Master Servicer reasonably requests to enable it to
perform its responsibilities under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this subsection (c), the Master Servicer shall maintain ongoing
payment records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
and Administered REO Properties and shall provide the Special Servicer with any
information reasonably available to the Master Servicer required by the Special
Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement.
-238-
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Aventura Mall
Trust Mortgage Loan, (i) the existence of pending litigation as reflected in the
claim brought by X.X. Xxxxxx Corporation, Inc. against Aventura Mall Venture,
SDG, Aventura Limited Partnership, SDG Properties VIII, Inc., Turnberry Aventura
Mall Company, and Tamco, Inc., dated approximately June 21, 2007, and (ii) the
negotiation of a modification to the leases referenced in the tenant estoppel
letters delivered by certain tenants of the Mortgaged Property securing the
Aventura Mall Trust Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of the
related loan documents, in each case, do not as of the Cut-off Date and will
not, in the absence of the occurrence following the date of this Agreement of
another event that in and of itself constitutes a Servicing Transfer Event with
respect to the Aventura Mall Trust Mortgage Loan, constitute a default or an
imminent default under, or a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to, the
Aventura Mall Trust Mortgage Loan although any judgment obtained in such
litigation which is not satisfied and discharged in accordance with the related
loan documents may result in a Servicing Transfer Event. Nothing in this
paragraph (d) is intended to contravene the provisions of Section 3.20(c)(i) and
Section 3.28. Further, any consents or approvals required to be obtained from
the lender pursuant to the terms of the Aventura Mall Trust Mortgage Loan loan
documents in connection with the settlement of all or any portion of the
aforesaid litigation shall be given or denied solely by the Special Servicer, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard.
SECTION 3.22. Sub-Servicing Agreements.
(a) Subject to Section 3.22(b) and Section 3.22(f), the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to
provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of their respective
obligations hereunder, provided that in each case, the Sub-Servicing Agreement:
(i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects, requires the
Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement
(provided that any Sub-Servicer identified on Exhibit K hereto shall not be
required to comply with the provisions of Section 3.19(i)) and, with the
exception of Sections 7.01(a)(x) through (xiii), provides for events of default
with respect to the Sub-Servicer substantially the same as those set forth in
Section 7.01 (modified as necessary to apply to the Sub-Servicer's obligations
under the Sub-Servicing Agreement); (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall for any reason no longer act in
such capacity hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the
Trustee or its designee may thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to
the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, under such sub-servicing
agreement or may terminate such sub-servicing agreement without cause and
without payment of any penalty or termination fee (provided, however, that those
Sub-Servicing Agreements in effect as of the Closing Date (or, if being
negotiated as of the Closing Date, in effect within 90 days thereafter (or, if
being negotiated as of the Closing Date with KeyCorp Real Estate Capital
Markets, Inc., within 120 days thereafter)) may only be terminated by the
Trustee or its designee as contemplated by Section 3.22(d) hereof and in such
additional manner as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement); (iii)
provides that the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, in the
case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement relating to a Serviced Loan Combination, the
related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s), shall each be a
third-party beneficiary under such sub-servicing agreement, but that (except to
the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, thereunder as contemplated
by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trustee, the Trust, any
successor Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, any
Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder or any Certificateholder shall have
any duties under such agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv)
permits any purchaser of a Serviced
-239-
Trust Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such sub-servicing
agreement with respect to such purchased Trust Mortgage Loan at its option and
without penalty; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to enter into or consent
to any modification, extension, waiver or amendment or otherwise take any action
on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer contemplated by Section
3.08, Section 3.09 and Section 3.20 (other than Section 3.20(c)(iv)) hereof
without the consent of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may
be; provided, that KeyCorp Real Estate Capital Markets, Inc. shall be permitted
to enter into or consent to any modification, extension, waiver or amendment or
otherwise take any action on behalf of the Master Servicer contemplated by
Section 3.08, Section 3.09 and Section 3.20 hereof without the consent of the
Master Servicer (but with the consent of any other party to this Agreement as
may be required herein) so long as (A) KeyCorp Real Estate Capital Markets, Inc.
is and continues to be rated at least "CPS1" by Fitch as a primary servicer, and
(B) KeyCorp Real Estate Capital Markets, Inc. remains on S&P's Select Servicer
List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Servicer; and provided, further, that the
Master Servicer shall, in accordance with Section 3.22(e), remain liable with
respect to such actions of KeyCorp Real Estate Capital Markets, Inc. performed
on behalf of the Master Servicer; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any
direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the
Trust Fund; (vii) provides that, if the Sub-Servicer constitutes an Additional
Item 1123 Servicer, then it will deliver to the applicable parties an Annual
Statement of Compliance in respect of the Sub-Servicer as and when contemplated
by Section 3.13; (viii) provides that, if the Sub-Servicer constitutes a
Sub-Servicing Function Participant, then it will deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to the applicable parties, an Annual Assessment Report in respect of
the Sub-Servicer and a corresponding Annual Attestation Report (together with,
if required to be filed with the Commission under applicable law, the consent of
the applicable registered public accounting firm to file such corresponding
Annual Attestation Report with the Commission) as and when contemplated by
Section 3.14; (ix) provides that the Sub-Servicer will deliver to the Master
Servicer a backup certification substantially similar to the Master Servicer
Backup Certification with respect to the Sub-Servicer, with such delivery to
occur at or before the same times, and under the same circumstances, as the
Master Servicer Backup Certification to be delivered by or with respect to the
Master Servicer (except that each such document delivered by the Sub-Servicer
shall only cover the Mortgage Loans being subserviced thereby); and (x) includes
a representation by the Sub-Servicer that such Sub-Servicer is not an
"affiliate" (as such term is defined in Section III of PTE 2000-58) of the
Trustee or of any "affiliate" (as such term is defined in Section III of PTE
2000-58) of the Trustee (provided that this clause (x) shall not apply to a
Sub-Servicer listed on Exhibit K hereto). In addition, each Sub-Servicing
Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer (including any with an effective
date on or before the Closing Date) shall provide that such agreement shall,
with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder, terminate at the
time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or,
alternatively, be subject to the Special Servicer's rights to service such
Serviced Mortgage Loan for so long as such Mortgage Loan continues to be a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), and each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into
by the Special Servicer shall relate only to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
and shall terminate with respect to any such Mortgage Loan which ceases to be a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
each shall deliver to the Trustee and each other copies of all Sub-Servicing
Agreements (and, to the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder, a
copy of any Sub-Servicing Agreement in respect of a Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage
Loan), as well as any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into
by it promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in
this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer 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
-240-
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder to make P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, out of its own funds and,
accordingly, such P&I Advances or Servicing 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 or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be. For so long as they are outstanding, Advances shall accrue interest in
accordance with Sections 3.11(g) or 4.03(d), as applicable, such interest to be
allocable between the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, 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, the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Controlling Class Certificateholders and, if a Serviced Loan
Combination is involved, the related Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s) in
writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer (other than any
Sub-Servicer identified on Exhibit K that is servicing any of the Serviced
Mortgage Loans on the Closing Date). The Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall each notify the Trustee and the Depositor in writing, promptly
upon becoming aware thereof, whether any Sub-Servicer retained by it constitutes
an Additional Item 1123 Servicer or a Sub-Servicing Function Participant. The
initial Special Servicer hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Closing
Date, it has not retained and does not expect to retain any particular Person or
group of affiliated Persons to act as a Sub-Servicer with respect to 10% or more
of the Mortgage Pool (by balance). The initial Master Servicer hereby represents
and warrants that the only Persons with which it has entered into or is
negotiating a Sub-Servicing Agreement as of the Closing Date are listed on
Exhibit K and, in each such case, the Sub-Servicing Agreement shall not cover
any Mortgage Loan (other than the Mortgage Loans identified on Exhibit K hereto
with respect to such Sub-Servicer) that the subject Sub-Servicer did not primary
service prior to the Closing Date.
(b) Each Sub-Servicer (i) shall be authorized to transact business in
the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service
are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law, and (ii) except
for any Sub-Servicer that is servicing any of the Serviced Mortgage Loans on the
Closing Date (which Sub-Servicers are identified on Exhibit K hereto), shall be
an approved conventional seller/servicer of mortgage loans for FHLMC or Xxxxxx
Xxx or a HUD-Approved Servicer.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, for the benefit of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Loan
Combination, also for the benefit of the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage
Loan Noteholder(s), shall (at no expense to the Trustee, any Certificateholder,
any Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder or the Trust Fund) monitor the
performance and enforce the obligations of their respective Sub-Servicers under
the related Sub-Servicing Agreements. Such enforcement, including the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance
with
