on such Due Date, if it had been required to continue to accrue interest in
accordance with its terms, and to pay principal in accordance with the
amortization schedule in effect immediately prior to, and without regard to the
occurrence of, its most recent Maturity Date (as such may have been extended in

Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.4. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan that is cross-collateralized by Mortgaged Properties securing other
Mortgage Loans, all of such Mortgaged Properties and other security must be
considered in connection with any determination of whether an Advance or
Unliquidated Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. Such Officer's Certificate
shall be delivered to the Trustee (upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely)

and (in either case) to the applicable Special Servicer and the Trustee, in the
time periods as specified in Section 4.4 and shall include the information and

is recoverable shall remain with the applicable Master Servicer or Trustee, as

Servicer shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders, the Master
Servicers and the Trustee. None of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers
or the Trustee will be obligated to make any Advance that, in its judgment

would not ultimately be recoverable out of collections on the related Mortgage
Loan. Absent bad faith or breach of the servicing standard under the 2007-HQ11
Pooling and Servicing Agreement known to the General Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable, the determination as to the nonrecoverability of any
principal and interest advance made or proposed to be made with respect to the
Non-Trust-Serviced Companion Loan pursuant to the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders
and may, in all cases, be relied on by the Trustee and the General Master
Servicer unless the Trustee or the General Master Servicer, as the case may be,
has been advised by the 2007-HQ11 Trustee or the 2007-Master Servicer that the
party who made such nonrecoverability determination no longer has the required

in the case of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer
(among other things), the timing of recovery to such party and (v) to consider
the amount of any deferred Advances outstanding. In addition, the relevant party
may, consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the applicable Master
Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, update or change its
nonrecoverability determinations at any time in accordance with the terms hereof
and may, consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the applicable

accrued and unpaid interest) shall be applied in accordance with the express
provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents.

Section 1.5 ARD Loans
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement:
(a) For the ARD Loans, the Excess Interest accruing as a result of the
step-up in the Mortgage Rate upon failure of the related Mortgagor to pay the
principal on the Anticipated Repayment Date as specifically provided for in the
related Mortgage Note shall not be taken into account for purposes of the
definitions of "Appraisal Reduction," "Assumed Scheduled Payment," "Mortgage
Rate," "Purchase Price" and "Realized Loss."
(b) Excess Interest shall constitute an asset of the Trust but not an
asset of any REMIC Pool.
(c) Neither a Master Servicer nor a Special Servicer shall take any
enforcement action with respect to the payment of Excess Interest unless the
taking of such action is consistent with the Servicing Standard and all other
amounts due under such Mortgage Loan have been paid, and, in the good faith and
reasonable judgment of such Master Servicer and such Special Servicer, as the
case may be, 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 thereon.
(d) Liquidation Fees shall not be deemed to be earned on Excess
Interest.
(e) With respect to each ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date,
the respective Master Servicer or the respective Special Servicer, as the case
may be, shall be permitted, in its discretion, to waive in accordance with
Section 14.1 and Section 14.2 hereof, all or any accrued Excess Interest if,
prior to the related Maturity Date, the related Mortgagor has requested the
right to prepay the Mortgage Loan in full together with all payments required by
the Mortgage Loan in connection with such prepayment except for all or a portion
of accrued Excess Interest, provided that the respective Master Servicer's or
the respective Special Servicer's determination to waive the right to such
accrued Excess Interest is in accordance with the Servicing Standard and with
Section 14.1 and Section 14.2 hereof. The respective Master Servicer or the
respective Special Servicer, as the case may be, will have no liability to the
Trust, the Certificateholders or any other Person so long as such determination
is based on such criteria.
Section 1.6 Certain Matters Relating to the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari
Passu Loan

that the General Master Servicer or the Trustee receives notice from any of

applicable, is no longer approved by such Rating Agency as to its eligibility
requirements hereunder, the General Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be required to notify each of the other parties to this
Agreement and the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer of the same.
ARTICLE II
DECLARATION OF TRUST;
ISSUANCES OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.1 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans
(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Depositor does hereby assign
in trust to the Trustee, without recourse, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders all the right, title and interest of the Depositor, in, to
and under (i) the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, (ii)
the Depositor's rights under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that are
permitted to be assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 14 thereof, (iii)
the Depositor's rights under the Co-Lender Agreement and the 2007-HQ11 Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, and (iv) all other assets included or to be included in
REMIC I for the benefit of REMIC II and REMIC III. Such assignment includes all
interest and principal received or receivable on or with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and due after the Cut-Off Date. The transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the
related rights and property accomplished hereby is absolute and is intended by
the parties to constitute a sale. In connection with the initial sale of the
Certificates by the Depositor, the purchase price to be paid includes a portion
attributable to interest accruing on the Certificates from and after the Cut-Off
Date. The transfer and assignment of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan to
the Trustee and the right to service such Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms
and conditions of the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreements and the
Co-Lender Agreement.
(b) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to Section
2.1(a) above, the Depositor shall direct, and hereby represents and warrants
that it has directed, each Seller pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to
and deposited with, the Trustee or a Custodian appointed hereunder, on or before
the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed
to the Trustee as specified in clause (i) of the definition of "Mortgage File."
Each Seller is required, pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, to deliver to the Trustee the remaining documents constituting the
Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to the Non-Trust-Serviced
Pari Passu Loan, copies thereof) within the time period set forth therein. None
of the Trustee, any Custodian, any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer shall
be liable for any failure by any Seller or the Depositor to comply with the
document delivery requirements of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and this
Section 2.1(b).
(c) Each Seller other than Natixis and NCB, FSB, at its own expense,
for the Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by such Seller, and the Trustee, at
the expense of Natixis and NCB, FSB, as applicable, for the Natixis Loans sold
to the Depositor by Natixis, and the NCB, FSB Loans sold to the Depositor by
NCB, FSB, shall promptly (and in any event within 90 days following the receipt
of all recording information necessary to record such document) cause to be
submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public
office for real property records or UCC financing statements, as appropriate,
each assignment to the Trustee referred to in clauses (iv), (vi) and (ix)(B) of
the definition of "Mortgage File" (except with respect to the Non-Trust-Serviced
Pari Passu Loan). Each such assignment shall reflect that it should be returned
by the public recording office to the Trustee following recording or filing or
such party responsible for recording such assignment shall be responsible for
forwarding such assignment to the Trustee (except with respect to any Mortgage
File document recorded in the name of MERS or its designee); provided that in
those instances where the public recording office retains the original
Assignment of Mortgage, assignment of Assignment of Leases or assignment of UCC
financing statements, the Trustee shall obtain therefrom, at the expense of the
applicable Seller, a certified copy of the recorded original and shall forward
copies thereof to the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special
Servicer. If any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or
unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Trustee shall
promptly notify the applicable Seller and the applicable Seller for its
respective Mortgage Loans shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared and
delivered to the Trustee a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case
may be, and thereafter the Trustee shall upon receipt thereof from such Seller
cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.
The parties acknowledge the obligation of each Seller pursuant to
Section 2 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver to the
Trustee, on or before the fifth Business Day after the Closing Date, five
limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C to
the Primary Servicing Agreements or Exhibit 5 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements in favor of the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer and the
applicable Special Servicer to empower the Trustee, such Master Servicer and, in
the event of the failure or incapacity of the Trustee and such Master Servicer,
such Special Servicer, to submit for recording, at the expense of the applicable
Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be recorded as described in the
preceding paragraph and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording
thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as
original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee). The
Sellers agree to reasonably cooperate with the Trustee, the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or
revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such
recordation. The Trustee and each other party hereto agrees that no such power
of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under
authorization by any party hereto except that to the extent that the absence of
a document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such
Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is 180
days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the related Seller, but
in no event earlier than 18 months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if
any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The
Trustee shall submit such documents for recording, at the related Seller's
expense, after the periods set forth above; provided, however, the Trustee shall
not submit such assignments for recording if the applicable Seller produces
evidence that it has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that
it is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.
(d) All relevant servicing or loan documents and records in the
possession of the Depositor or the Sellers that relate to the servicing of any
Mortgage Loans and that are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File in

ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan shall be
delivered to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the related Primary Servicer,
if applicable), on or before the date that is 75 days following the Closing Date
and shall be held by such Master Servicer or the related Primary Servicer on
behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. To the
extent delivered to the Master Servicer and the related Sub-Servicer or the
related Primary Servicer, as applicable, by the related Seller, the Servicer
Mortgage File will consist of the documents listed in the definition of Mortgage
File; provided, however, the Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft
documents, attorney-client privileged communications, internal correspondence or
credit analysis. Delivery of any of the foregoing documents to the applicable
Primary Servicer (or sub-servicer) shall be deemed delivery to the applicable
Master Servicer and satisfy the Depositor's obligations under this Section
2.1(d). Each of the foregoing items may be delivered in electronic form, to the
extent such document is available in such form and such form is reasonably
acceptable to the applicable Master Servicer. None of any Master Servicer, any
Special Servicer or any Primary Servicer shall have any liability for the
absence of any of the foregoing items from the Servicing Mortgage File if such
item was not delivered by the related Seller.
(e) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to Section
2.1(a) above, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer
on or before the Closing Date a copy of a fully executed counterpart of each
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect on the Closing

Loans to the Trustee, endorsed as otherwise provided herein, to effect the
transfer to the Trustee of such Mortgage Notes and all related deeds of trust,
mortgages and other loan documents. The Depositor will deliver the original
Mortgage Notes (or lost note affidavits with copies of the related Mortgage
Notes, as described in the definition of Mortgage File) relating to the Natixis

transfer to the Trustee of such Mortgage Notes and all related deeds of trust,
mortgages and other loan documents. The Depositor will deliver the original
Mortgage Notes (or lost note affidavits with copies of the related Mortgage

transfer to the Trustee of such Mortgage Notes and all related deeds of trust,
mortgages and other loan documents. The Depositor will deliver the original

Notes, as described in the definition of Mortgage File) relating to the SunTrust
Loans to the Trustee, endorsed as otherwise provided herein, to effect the
transfer to the Trustee of such Mortgage Notes and all related deeds of trust,
mortgages and other loan documents. To avoid the unnecessary expense and
administrative inconvenience associated with the execution and recording of
multiple assignment documents, MSMC, Natixis, NCB, FSB and SunTrust, as
applicable, are required under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements to deliver
Assignments of Mortgages and assignments of Assignments of Leases and
assignments of UCC financing statements in blank or naming the Trustee, on
behalf of the Certificateholders, as assignee. Notwithstanding the fact that the

transferred from Natixis to the Depositor, the NCB, FSB Loans shall be deemed to
have been transferred from NCB, FSB to the Depositor, the SunTrust Loans shall

the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
With respect to the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan, the related
Mortgage File (exclusive, however, of the original Mortgage Note), together with
certain other documents and records, and all unapplied Escrow Payments and
Reserve Funds, in the possession of the Depositor or the related Seller that
relate to such Mortgage Loan has been delivered to the 2007-HQ11 Trustee in
accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement and the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Such documents and funds shall be held thereby on behalf of the
Trustee and the holders of the Non-Trust Serviced Companion Loan.
(g) With respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the first monthly
payment date will not occur until May 2007, an interest only payment at the
applicable Net Mortgage Rate will be funded by the applicable Seller under the
terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date. The
Depositor shall deliver such advance interest amount to the Trustee in
connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above.

Mortgage Files delivered to it, (ii) the REMIC I Regular Interests, (iii) the
REMIC II Regular Interests, in each case, in trust for the use and benefit of
all present and future Certificateholders; and (iv) the assets of the Class EI
Grantor Trust in trust for the use and benefit of the present and future Holders

90 days after the Closing Date in respect of the Final Certification, the
Trustee shall examine the Mortgage Files in its possession, and shall deliver to
the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and the
Operating Adviser, a certification (the "Initial Certification" and the "Final
Certification," respectively, in the respective forms set forth as Exhibit B-1
and Exhibit B-2 hereto), which shall be in electronic format (i) in the case of
the Initial Certification, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, except as may be specified in the schedule of exceptions to Mortgage
File delivery attached thereto, to the effect that: (A) all documents pursuant
to clause (i) of the definition of Mortgage File are in its possession, (B) such
documents have been reviewed by it and have not been materially mutilated,
damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered, and such documents
relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (C) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as
provided in clause (i) of the definition of Mortgage File, and (ii) in the case
of the Final Certification, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, except as may be specified in the schedule of exceptions to Mortgage
File delivery attached thereto, to the effect that: (A) all documents pursuant
to clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (vi), (viii) and (xii) of the definition of Mortgage
File required to be included in the Mortgage File (to the extent required to be
delivered pursuant to this Agreement and any applicable Primary Servicing
Agreement), and with respect to all documents specified in the other clauses of
the definition of Mortgage File to the extent actually known by a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee to be required pursuant to this Agreement (assuming that,
with respect to the documents referred to in clause (xii) of the definition of
Mortgage File, an original letter of credit in the possession of the Trustee is
not so required, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge to the contrary), are in its possession, (B) such documents have been
reviewed by it and have not been materially mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or
otherwise physically altered, and such documents relate to such Mortgage Loan,
(C) based on its examination and only as to the Mortgage Note and Mortgage or

Mortgaged Property set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule respecting such
Mortgage Loan accurately reflects the information contained in the documents in
the Mortgage File, (D) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as required by the
terms of this Agreement and (E) the Trustee on behalf of the Trust is shown as
the owner of each Mortgage recorded in the name of MERS. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the delivery of an original or a copy of a binder, pro forma policy
or title commitment certified by the title company in lieu of the delivery of
the actual Title Insurance Policy shall not be considered a Material Document
Defect with respect to any Mortgage File. The Trustee shall deliver to the
Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Operating Adviser and each Seller a
copy of such Final Certification, which may be in electronic format.
Within 360 days after the Cut-Off Date, the Trustee shall provide a
confirmation of receipt of recorded assignments of Mortgage (as described in the
definition of Mortgage File, with evidence of recording thereon) or otherwise
provide evidence of such recordation to the applicable Master Servicer, the
applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Adviser and each Seller, and if any
recorded assignment of Mortgage has not been received by the Trustee by such
time, the Trustee shall provide information in such confirmation on the status
of missing assignments. The Trustee agrees to use reasonable efforts to submit
for recording any unrecorded assignments of Mortgage that have been delivered to
it (including effecting such recordation process through or cooperating with the
applicable Seller) such recordation to be at the expense of the applicable
Seller; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not submit for recording any
such assignments if the applicable Seller produces evidence that it has sent any
such assignment for recording and is awaiting its return from the applicable
recording office. In giving the certifications required above, the Trustee shall
be under no obligation or duty to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, securities or other papers to determine whether they or the
signatures thereon are valid, legal, genuine, enforceable, in recordable form or
appropriate for their represented purposes, or that they are other than what
they purport to be on their face, or to determine whether any Mortgage File
should include any assumption agreement, modification agreement, consolidation
agreement, extension agreement, Assignment of Lease, ground lease, UCC financing
statement, guaranty, written assurance, substitution agreement, lock-box
agreement, intercreditor agreement, management agreement or letter of credit.
If any exceptions are noted on a schedule of exceptions attached to the
Final Certification, including exceptions resulting from the fact that the
recordation and/or filing has not been completed (based solely on the absence of
receipt by the Custodian (or the Trustee) of the particular documents showing
evidence of the recordation and/or filing), then the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee (or the Trustee) shall continuously update such schedule of exceptions
to reflect receipt of any corrected documents, additional documents or
instruments or evidences of recordation and/or filing, as to each Mortgage Loan,
until the earliest of the following dates: (i) the date on which all such
exceptions are eliminated (any such elimination resulting from the fact that
recordation and/or filing has been completed shall be based solely on receipt by
the Custodian or the Trustee of the particular documents showing evidence of the
recordation and/or filing), (ii) the date on which all the affected Mortgage
Loans are removed from the Trust and (iii) the second anniversary of the Closing
Date, and shall provide such updated schedule of exceptions (which may be in
electronic format) to each of the Depositor, each Seller (as to its respective
Mortgage Loans only), the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special
Servicer and the Operating Adviser on or about the date that is 180 days after
the Closing Date and then again every 90 days thereafter (until the earliest

shall continue to provide such updated schedule of exceptions annually after
such date). The Trustee shall promptly forward a copy thereof to each
Certificateholder in the Controlling Class and shall deliver or make available a
copy thereof to other Certificateholders pursuant to Sections 5.4(e) and 5.4(f).
Promptly, and in any event within two Business Days, following any request
therefor by the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable
Special Servicer or the Operating Adviser that is made later than two years
following the Closing Date, the Custodian (or the Trustee) shall deliver an
updated schedule of exceptions, which may be in electronic format (to the extent
the prior schedule showed exceptions), to the requesting Person and the Trustee,
which shall make available a copy thereof pursuant to Section 5.4(e).

custody of each Trustee Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein.

credit, which are part of the Mortgage File, in trust for the benefit of the

Section 2.3 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans for Material Document Defects
and Material Breaches of Representations and Warranties
(a) If any party hereto discovers that any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been delivered as and when
required (and including the expiration of any grace or cure period), has not
been properly executed, or is defective on its face or discovers or receives
notice of a breach of any of the representations and warranties relating to the
Mortgage Loans required to be made by a Seller regarding the characteristics of
the Mortgage Loans and/or related Mortgaged Properties as set forth in the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, and in either case such defect or
breach either (i) materially and adversely affects the interests of the holders
of the Certificates in the related Mortgage Loan, or (ii) both (A) the document
defect or breach materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan
and (B) the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Rehabilitated
Mortgage Loan (such a document defect described in the preceding clause (i) or
(ii), a "Material Document Defect," and such a breach described in the preceding
clause (i) or (ii), a "Material Breach") such party shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties hereto and to each Rating Agency subject to the
terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Promptly (but in any
event within three Business Days) upon becoming aware of any such Material
Document Defect or Material Breach, the applicable Master Servicer shall, and
the applicable Special Servicer may, request that the related Seller, not later
than 90 days from such Seller's receipt of the notice of such Material Document
Defect or Material Breach, cure such Material Document Defect or Material
Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects; provided, however, that if
such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, cannot be
corrected or cured in all material respects within such 90-day period, and such
Material Document Defect or Material Breach would not cause the Mortgage Loan to
be other than a "qualified mortgage" (as defined in the Code) but the related
Seller is diligently attempting to effect such correction or cure, as certified
by such Seller in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, then the
cure period will be extended for an additional 90 days unless, solely in the
case of a Material Document Defect, (x) the Mortgage Loan is at the end of the
initial 90 day period a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing
Transfer Event has occurred as a result of a monetary default or as described in
clause (ii) or clause (v) of the definition of "Servicing Transfer Event" and
(y) the Material Document Defect was identified in a certification delivered to
the Seller by the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.2 not less than 90 days prior to
the delivery of the notice of such Material Document Defect. The parties
acknowledge that neither delivery of a certification or schedule of exceptions
to a Seller pursuant to Section 2.2 or otherwise nor possession of such
certification or schedule by the Seller shall, in and of itself, constitute
delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge or awareness by
the Seller of any Material Document Defect listed therein. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any breach of the representation and warranty
contained under the heading "Prepayment Premiums" in Exhibit 2 to each Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall constitute a
Material Breach only if such prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge is
not deemed "customary" for commercial mortgage loans at the time of origination,
as evidenced by (i) an opinion of tax counsel to such effect or (ii) a
determination by the Internal Revenue Service that such provision is not
customary. In addition, if such Mortgage Loan is modified so that it becomes a
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, such breach shall be deemed cured and the
related Seller will not be obligated to repurchase such Mortgage Loan or
otherwise remedy such breach. The related Seller is required to pay for any
expenses incurred by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special
Servicer in connection with such modification. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan, the General Master
Servicer and the General Special Servicer shall not enforce the related Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement if the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer or 2007-HQ11 Special
Servicer shall be entitled to, and shall be, enforcing such Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement pursuant to the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement on
behalf of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan and in such event any related
Liquidation Fee shall be payable to the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer to the extent
required by the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and no Liquidation Fee
shall be payable hereunder. However, with respect to any Material Breach or
Material Document Defect that relates solely to the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari
Passu Loan and not to the remainder of its Loan Group, and which is not being
enforced by the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer or 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer, the
General Master Servicer shall, and the General Special Servicer may, proceed as
otherwise described above or below with respect to the enforcement of the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and the General Special Servicer may
receive a Liquidation Fee on the related Liquidation Proceeds to the extent
otherwise permitted hereby. Any expenses incurred by the applicable Master
Servicer or Special Servicer in connection with this Section 2.3(a) shall be
considered a Servicing Advance.
If any such Material Document Defect or Material Breach cannot be
corrected or cured in all material respects within the above cure periods, the
related Seller that is the subject of such Material Breach shall be obligated,
not later than the last day of such permitted cure period, to (i) repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the applicable
Purchase Price in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
or (ii) if within the two-year period commencing on the Closing Date, at the
related Seller's option, replace, without recourse, such Mortgage Loan or REO
Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan. If such Material
Document Defect or Material Breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other
than a "qualified mortgage" (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the
previous sentence, the repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from
the earlier of the date the related Seller discovered or was notified of the
breach or defect.
As to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the applicable
Master Servicer shall not execute any instrument effecting the substitution
unless the related Seller has delivered to the Trustee for such Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related
Assignment of Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required
by Section 2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.1 and
such Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on statements and certifications
from the Trustee for this purpose. If the Mortgage related to the Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee,
the applicable Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts (and
the Trustee shall cooperate with such efforts of such Master Servicer) to
reflect the release of such Mortgage on the records of MERS. No substitution may
be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.
Monthly payments due with respect to Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans in the
month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust and will be retained by the
applicable Master Servicer and remitted by such Master Servicer to the related
Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will include the Scheduled Payment due on
the related Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the related
Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan.
The applicable Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the
Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and
the substitution of the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and upon
such amendment such Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered such
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the applicable Special
Servicer. Upon such substitution, the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects. Upon
receipt of the Trustee Mortgage File pertaining to any Qualifying Substitute
Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall release the Trustee Mortgage File relating to
such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related Seller, and the Trustee (and the
Depositor, if necessary) shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or assignment in the form presented to it, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest title (to the extent
that such title was transferred to the Trustee or the Depositor) in the related
Seller or its designee to any Deleted Mortgage Loan (including any property
acquired in respect thereof or any insurance policy proceeds relating thereto)
substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.3.
If (i) a Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced in connection
with a Material Document Defect or Material Breach as contemplated above, (ii)
such Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with one or more
other Mortgage Loans in the Trust and (iii) the applicable document defect or
breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the
case may be, as to such other Mortgage Loans (without regard to this paragraph),
then the applicable document defect or breach (as the case may be) shall be
deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case
may be) as to each such other Mortgage Loan for purposes of the above
provisions, and the related Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or replace
each such other Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in
the case of such breach or document defect, both of the following conditions
would be satisfied if the related Seller were to repurchase or replace only
those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Breach or Material Document Defect
had occurred without regard to this paragraph (the "Affected Loan(s)"): (1) the
debt service coverage ratio for all such other Mortgage Loans (excluding the
Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the
repurchase or replacement (determined as provided in the definition of Debt
Service Coverage Ratio, except that net cash flow for such four calendar
quarters, rather than year-end, shall be used) is equal to the greater of (x)
the debt service coverage ratio for all such Mortgage Loans (including the
Affected Loan(s)) set forth under the heading "NCF DSCR" in Appendix II to the
Final Prospectus Supplement and (y) 1.25x, and (2) the Loan-to-Value Ratio for
all such other Mortgage Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater
than the lesser of (x) the current Loan-to-Value Ratio for all such Mortgage
Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth under the heading "Cut-Off Date
LTV" in Appendix II to the Final Prospectus Supplement and (y) 75%. The
determination of the applicable Master Servicer as to whether the conditions set
forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence
of manifest error. The applicable Master Servicer will be entitled to cause to
be delivered, or direct the related Seller to (in which case the related Seller
shall) cause to be delivered to such Master Servicer: (i) an Appraisal of any or
all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the
condition set forth in clause (2) above has been satisfied, in each case at the
expense of the related Seller if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved
by the related Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and (ii)
an Opinion of Counsel that not requiring the repurchase of each such other
Mortgage Loan will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is cross-defaulted and
cross-collateralized with any other Mortgage Loan conveyed hereunder, to the
extent that the applicable Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for
such Mortgage Loan (each, a "Repurchased Loan") in the manner prescribed above
while the Trustee continues to hold any other Mortgage Loan that is
cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted (each, a "Cross-Collateralized Loan")
with such Repurchased Loan, the related Seller and the Depositor have agreed in
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to modify, prior to such repurchase or
substitution, the related Mortgage Loan documents in a manner such that such
affected Repurchased Loan, on the one hand, and any related
Crossed-Collateralized Loans held by the Trustee, on the other, would no longer
be cross-defaulted or cross-collateralized with one another; provided that the
applicable Seller shall have furnished the Trustee, at the expense of the
applicable Seller, with a Nondisqualification Opinion that such modification
shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; provided, further, that if such
Nondisqualification Opinion cannot be furnished, the applicable Seller and the
Depositor have agreed in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that
such repurchase or substitution of only the Repurchased Loan, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, shall not be permitted and the applicable
Seller shall repurchase or substitute for the Repurchased Loan and all related
Crossed-Collateralized Loans. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of
credit securing the Repurchased Loan and the Cross-Collateralized Loans shall be
allocated between such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan
documents. All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and
effect, without any modification thereof. The Mortgagors set forth on Schedule
IX hereto are intended third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in
this paragraph and the preceding paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph and
the preceding paragraph may not be modified with respect to any Mortgage Loan
without the related Mortgagor's consent.
Upon occurrence (and after any applicable cure or grace period), any of
the following document defects shall be conclusively presumed materially and
adversely to affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan and
be a Material Document Defect: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the
original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost
note affidavit and indemnity and a copy of the Mortgage Note; (b) the absence
from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage, unless there is included
in the Mortgage File (i) a copy of the Mortgage certified by the local authority
with which the Mortgage was recorded or (ii) a true and correct copy of the
Mortgage together with an Officer's Certificate; or (c) the absence from the
Mortgage File of the item called for by paragraph (viii) of the definition of
Mortgage File (or, with respect to the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan, a
copy thereof). If any of the foregoing Material Document Defects is discovered
by the Custodian (or the Trustee if there is no Custodian) or any other party
hereto, the Trustee (or as set forth in Section 2.3(a), the applicable Master
Servicer) will take the steps described elsewhere in this section, including the
giving of notices to the Rating Agencies and the parties hereto and making
demand upon the related Seller for the cure of the document defect or repurchase
or replacement of the related Mortgage Loan.
(b) If the related Seller disputes that a Material Document Defect or
Material Breach exists with respect to a Mortgage Loan or otherwise refuses (i)
to effect a correction or cure of such Material Document Defect or Material
Breach, (ii) to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from the Trust or (iii) to
replace such Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, each in
accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then provided that
(x) the period of time provided for the related Seller to correct, repurchase or
cure has expired and (y) the Mortgage Loan is then in default and is then a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Special Servicer may, subject
to the Servicing Standard, modify, work-out or foreclose, sell or otherwise
liquidate (or permit the liquidation of) the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
9.12, Section 9.15, Section 9.36 and Section 14.1, as applicable, of this
Agreement, while pursuing the repurchase claim. Each Seller acknowledges and
agrees that any modification of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to such a work-out
shall not constitute a defense to any repurchase claim nor shall such
modification or work-out change the Purchase Price due from the related Seller
for any repurchase claim. Any sale of the Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure upon
such Mortgage Loan and sale of the REO Property, to a Person other than the
related Seller shall be without (i) recourse of any kind (either expressed or
implied) by such Person against the related Seller and (ii) representation or
warranty of any kind (either expressed or implied) by the related Seller to or
for the benefit of such Person.
The fact that a Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not
discovered until after foreclosure (but in all instances prior to the sale of
the related REO Property or Mortgage Loan) shall not prejudice any claim against
the related Seller for repurchase of the REO Mortgage Loan or REO Property. In
such an event, each Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall
notify the related Seller of the discovery of the Material Document Defect or
Material Breach and the related Seller shall be required to follow the
procedures set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to correct
or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach or purchase the REO
Property at the Purchase Price. If the related Seller fails to correct or cure
the Material Document Defect or Material Breach or purchase the REO Property,
then the provisions above regarding notice of offers related to such REO
Property and the related Seller's right to purchase such REO Property shall
apply. If a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final order that the
related Seller is or was obligated to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or
REO Mortgage Loan or the related Seller otherwise accepts liability, then, after
the expiration of any applicable appeal period, but in no event later than the
termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.30 hereof, the related Seller
will be obligated to pay to the Trust the difference between any Liquidation
Proceeds received upon such liquidation (including those arising from any sale
to the related Seller) and the Purchase Price; provided that the prevailing
party in such action shall be entitled to recover all costs, fees and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys fees) related thereto; provided, further, that
if the Seller is the prevailing party in such action, such costs, fees and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) shall be an Additional Trust
Expense.
In connection with any liquidation or sale of a Mortgage Loan or REO
Property as described above, the Special Servicer will not receive a Liquidation
Fee in connection with (x) such liquidation or sale or any portion of the
Work-Out Fee that accrues after the related Seller receives notice of a breach
or defect until a final determination has been made, as set forth in the prior
paragraph, as to whether the related Seller is or was obligated to repurchase
such related Mortgage Loan or REO Property or (y) a repurchase by the related
Seller of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan, where the repurchase
obligation has been enforced by the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer or 2007-HQ11
Special Servicer. Subject to the last two sentences of the first paragraph of
Section 2.3(a), upon such determination, the Special Servicer will be entitled:
(i) with respect to a determination that the related Seller is or was obligated
to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, to collect a Liquidation Fee, if due in
accordance with the definition thereof, based upon the full Purchase Price of
the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, with such Liquidation Fee payable by
the related Seller or (ii) with respect to a determination that the related
Seller is not or was not obligated to repurchase a Mortgage Loan (or the Trust
decides that it will no longer pursue a claim against the Seller for
repurchase), (A) to collect a Liquidation Fee based upon the Liquidation
Proceeds as received upon the actual sale or liquidation of such Mortgage Loan
or REO Property, and (B) collect any accrued and unpaid Work-Out Fee, based on
amounts that were collected for as long as the related Mortgage Loan was a
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, in each case with such amounts to be paid from
amounts in the Certificate Account.
In any month in which the related Seller substitutes one or more
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
applicable Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the
aggregate Principal Balance of all such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans as
of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Principal Balance of all
such Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of scheduled
principal portion of the monthly payments received in the month of
substitution). The Depositor shall cause the related Seller to deposit the
amount of such shortage into the Certificate Account in the month of
substitution, without any reimbursement thereof. In addition, the Depositor
shall cause the related Seller to deposit into the Certificate Account, together
with such shortage, if any, an amount equal to interest on the Deleted Mortgage
Loans at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Mortgage Rate from the Due
Date as to which interest was last paid up to the Due Date next succeeding such
substitution together with the amount of unreimbursed Servicing Advances,
amounts required to be paid to the applicable Special Servicer but remaining
unpaid or unreimbursed, and interest on unreimbursed Advances with respect to
such Deleted Mortgage Loans at the Advance Rate. The Depositor shall cause the
related Seller, in the case of the Mortgage Loans, to give notice in writing
(accompanied by an Officer's Certificate as to the calculation of such shortage)
to the Trustee and the applicable Master Servicer of such event which notice
shall be accompanied by an Officer's Certificate as to the calculation of such
shortfall.
If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the applicable
Master Servicer shall designate the Certificate Account as the account to which
funds in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. Any such purchase of
a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.
(c) In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage
Loan contemplated by this Section 2.3, the Trustee, the applicable Master
Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall each tender to the related
Seller, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by such Seller, all
portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage
Loan possessed by it (including, without limitation, all documents delivered to
the Trustee and such Master Servicer pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement), and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage
File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the
related Seller or its designee in the same manner, and pursuant to appropriate
forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to
which documents were previously assigned to the Trustee, but in any event,
without recourse, representation or warranty; provided that such tender by the
Trustee shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the applicable Master
Servicer of a Request for Release. The applicable 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 2.3, and the
Trustee shall execute and deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit the
applicable Master Servicer to do so. The applicable Master Servicer shall, and
is also hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, reconvey to the
related Seller any deposits then held in the applicable Escrow Account relating
to the Mortgage Loan being repurchased or substituted for. Each Master Servicer
shall indemnify the Trustee for all costs, liabilities and expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by the Trustee in connection with any negligent or
intentional misuse of any such powers of attorney by such Master Servicer.
(d) The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provide the sole remedies
available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, respecting any Material Document Defect or Material Breach.
The parties hereunder understand that (i) MSMC, as Seller under Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement I, will be providing the remedies with respect to the MSMC
Loans, (ii) Natixis, as Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement II, will
be providing remedies with respect to the Natixis Loans, (iii) SunTrust, as
Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement III, will be providing remedies
with respect to the SunTrust Loans and (iv) NCB, FSB, as Seller under Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement IV, will be providing the remedies with respect to the
NCB, FSB Loans. No amendment to this Agreement may change in any manner the
obligations of a Seller under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
without the consent of such Seller in writing.
(e) The Trustee shall enforce the provisions of this Section 2.3.
Alternatively, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, appoint a designee to
enforce such provisions (which, with the applicable Master Servicer's consent,
may be such Master Servicer or which, with the applicable Special Servicer's
consent, may be such Special Servicer).
Section 2.4 Representations and Warranties
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Master Servicers,
the Special Servicers and the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust)

materially and adversely affect (i) the ability of the Depositor to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or (ii) the business, operations, financial
condition, properties or assets of the Depositor;
(c) The execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not

(c) Each Certificate shall, on original issue, be executed by the

this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided

The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed by the Trustee
or the Certificateholders, and a new successor may be appointed, in accordance
with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 7.6 and 7.7 hereof
with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a
written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Trustee, any trust company
to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may
prescribe; provided that the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any
of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.
Section 3.3 Transfer and Exchange of Certificates

duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed
by such Holder or such Holder's duly authorized attorney in such form as shall
be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any
Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, and subject to the
restrictions set forth in the other subsections of this Section 3.3, the
Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the
same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate initial
Certificate Balance, initial Notional Amount or Percentage Interest, as the case
may be, as the Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to
a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
or transfer of Certificates. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept any
request for a registration of transfer of any Certificate during the period
beginning five calendar days prior to any Distribution Date.
(b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number
of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing
in the aggregate the same initial Certificate Balance, initial Notional Amount
or Percentage Interest, as the case may be, as the Certificate surrendered, upon
surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the offices of the Certificate
Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of exchange duly
executed by such Holder or such Holder's duly authorized attorney in such form
as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any
such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the
same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge
shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of
Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Certificate Registrar shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(c) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any
Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration
and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and
such state securities laws. If a transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate held
as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the
Securities Act (other than in connection with a transfer of such Non-Registered
Certificate by the Depositor or one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate
Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon
receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit D-1 hereto and a certificate from such Certificateholder's
prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A
hereto or as Exhibit D-2B hereto; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to
the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer shall be made without
registration under the Securities Act, together with the written
certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is
based (such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust or of the
Depositor, any Master Servicer, any Special Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). If a transfer of
any interest in a Non-Registered Certificate that constitutes a Book-Entry
Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other
than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer
of any interest in such Non-Registered Certificate by the Depositor or any of
its Affiliates), then the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such transfer
shall be required to obtain either (i) a certificate from such Certificate
Owner's prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit
D-3A hereto or as Exhibit D-3B hereto, or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities
Act. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicers, the Special
Servicers or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any
Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement
to permit the transfer of any Certificate. Any Certificateholder or Certificate
Owner desiring to effect a transfer of Non-Registered Certificates or interests
therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, each
Underwriter, the Trustee, each Master Servicer, each Special Servicer and the
Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is
not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
(d) No transfer of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate, Class EI
Certificate or Residual Certificate or any interest therein shall be made (A) to
any retirement plan or other employee benefit plan or arrangement, including
individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans and collective
investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or
arrangements are invested, including, without limitation, insurance company
general accounts, that is subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any
applicable federal, state or local law ("Similar Laws") materially similar to
the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a "Plan"), (B) in
book-entry form to an Institutional Accredited Investor who is not also a
Qualified Institutional Buyer or (C) to any Person who is directly or indirectly
purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary
of, as trustee of, or with "plan assets" of a Plan, unless: (i) in the case of a
Non-Investment Grade Certificate that constitutes a Book-Entry Certificate and
is being sold to a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the purchase and holding of
such Certificate or interest therein qualifies for the exemptive relief
available under Sections I and III of U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60; or (ii) in the case of a
Non-Investment Grade Certificate held as a Definitive Certificate, the
prospective Transferee provides the Certificate Registrar with a certification
of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the
Certificate Registrar that such transfer will not constitute or result in a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code or materially similar provisions of applicable federal, state or local
law or subject the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicers, the Special
Servicers or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement. Each Person who acquires any Non-Investment Grade
Certificate, Class EI Certificate or Residual Certificate or interest therein
(unless it shall have acquired such Certificate or interest therein from the
Depositor or an Affiliate thereof or, in the case of a Non-Investment Grade
Certificate, unless it shall have delivered to the Certificate Registrar the
certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence) shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar
(or, in the case of an interest in a Non-Investment Grade Certificate that
constitutes a Book-Entry Certificate, to the Certificate Owner that is
transferring such interest) a certification to the effect that: (i) it is
neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such
Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee
of, or with "plan assets" of a Plan; or (ii) in the case of a Non-Investment
Grade Certificate, that the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest
therein by such Person qualifies for the exemptive relief available under
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or another exemption from the "prohibited
transactions" rules under ERISA by the U.S. Department of Labor. No transfer of
a Class EI or Residual Certificate will be made to any Person that does not make
the representation in clause (i) of the preceding sentence.
(e) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably authorized the Trustee under clause (F) below to deliver
payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably authorized
the Certificate Registrar under clause (G) below to negotiate the terms of any
mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other
things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of such Person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject
to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and a United States Tax
Person and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or
impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery
to it, and no Transfer of any Residual Certificate shall be registered until
the Certificate Registrar receives, an affidavit and agreement substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 (a "Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement") from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other
things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not
acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the
subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains
its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain
a Permitted Transferee, that it is a United States Tax Person, that it has
historically paid its debts as they have come due and will continue to do so
in the future, that it understands that its tax liability with respect to
the Residual Certificates may exceed cash flows thereon and it intends to
pay such taxes as they come due, that it will provide the Certificate
Registrar with all information necessary to determine that the applicable
paragraphs of Section 14 of such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement are true
or that Section 14 is not applicable, that it will not cause income with
respect to the Residual Certificate to be attributable to a foreign
permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an applicable
income tax treaty) of such Person or any other United States Tax Person and
that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 3.3(e) and agrees to be
bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement
by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the Certificate
Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a
Permitted Transferee or is not a United States Tax Person, no Transfer of an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee
shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement
from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to transfer its
Ownership Interest in such Residual Certificate and (2) not to transfer its
Ownership Interest in such Residual Certificate unless it provides to the
Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit E-2 among other things stating that (x) it has conducted a
reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the proposed
Transferee and, as a result of the investigation, the Transferor determines
that the proposed Transferee had historically paid its debts as they came
due and found no significant evidence that the proposed Transferee will not
continue to pay its debts as they come due in the future and, (y) it has no
actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted
Transferee or is not a United States Tax Person.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate that is a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of
temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) or is holding an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of a "pass-through
interest holder," by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate,
agrees to give the Certificate Registrar written notice of its status as
such immediately upon holding or acquiring such Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate.
(F) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.3(e) or if any
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall lose its status as a Permitted
Transferee or a United States Tax Person, then the last preceding Holder of
such Residual Certificate that was in compliance with the provisions of this
Section 3.3(e) shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all
rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. None of the
Trustee, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers or the Certificate
Registrar shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of
Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this
Section 3.3(e) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement.
(G) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 3.3(e), or if
any Holder of a Residual Certificate shall lose its status as a Permitted
Transferee or a United States Tax Person, and to the extent that the
retroactive restoration of the rights and obligations of the prior Holder of
such Residual Certificate as described in clause (F) above shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, then the Trustee shall have the right, without
notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, but
not the obligation, to sell or cause to be sold such Residual Certificate to
a purchaser selected by the Trustee on such terms as the Trustee may choose.
Such noncomplying Holder shall promptly endorse and deliver such Residual
Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Certificate
Registrar. Such purchaser may be the Certificate Registrar itself or any
Affiliate of the Certificate Registrar. The proceeds of such sale, net of
the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Certificate
Registrar or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be
remitted by the Certificate Registrar to such noncomplying Holder. The terms
and conditions of any sale under this clause (G) shall be determined in the
sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar
shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those
Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all information in its possession
necessary to compute any tax imposed as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee, including the information described in Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess inclusions" of
such Residual Certificate. The Person holding the Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be responsible for the reasonable compensation of the
Trustee for providing such information. Each Master Servicer shall take all
reasonable action to cooperate with the Trustee in making such information
available.
The provisions of this Section 3.3(e) may be modified, added to or
eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, each Master Servicer, the Operating Adviser and the
Depositor the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the
modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not
cause such Rating Agency to qualify, downgrade or withdraw its then current
rating of any Class of Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, to the effect that
such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not
cause any REMIC Pool to (x) cease to qualify as a REMIC or (y) be subject to
an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a
Person which is not a Permitted Transferee, or cause a Person other than the
prospective Transferee to be subject to a tax caused by the Transfer of a
Residual Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee.
(f) None of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar shall have any liability to the Trust arising from a
transfer of any Certificate in reliance upon a certification, ruling or Opinion
of Counsel described in this Section 3.3; provided, however, that the
Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Residual Certificate
if it has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee does not meet the
qualifications of a permitted Holder of a Residual Certificate as set forth in
Section 3.3(e); provided, further, that the Certificate Registrar shall not
register the transfer of a Noneconomic Residual Interest if it shall have
received notice that the Transferor has determined, as a result of the
investigation under Section 3.3(e)(D), that the proposed Transferee has not paid
its debts as they came due or that it will not pay its debts as they come due in
the future. The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation or duty to
monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restriction on transfer
or exchange of Certificates or any interest therein imposed under this Article
III or under applicable law other than to require delivery of the certifications
and/or opinions described in this Article III; provided, however, that the
Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Residual Certificate
if it has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee does not meet the
qualifications of a permitted Holder of a Residual Certificate as set forth in
Section 3.3(e). The Certificate Registrar shall have no liability for transfers
(including without limitation transfers made through the book-entry facilities
of the Depository or between or among Participants or Certificate Owners) made
in violation of applicable restrictions, provided that the Certificate Registrar
has satisfied its duties expressly set forth in Sections 3.3(c), 3.3(d) and
3.3(e).
(g) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
physically cancelled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar
shall hold such cancelled Certificates in accordance with its standard
procedures.
(h) The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Master Servicers, the
Special Servicers and the Depositor, upon written request, with an updated copy
of the Certificate Register within a reasonable period of time following receipt
of such request.
(i) Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for the individual
Certificates represented thereby, a Global Certificate representing all of the
Certificates of a Class may not be transferred, except as a whole by the
Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to
the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any
such nominee to a successor Clearing Agency or a nominee of such successor
Clearing Agency, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be
registered; provided that this subsection (i) shall not prohibit any transfer of
a Certificate of a Class that is issued in exchange for a Global Certificate of
the same Class pursuant to Section 3.9 below. Nothing in this subsection (i)
shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a
Global Certificate effected in accordance with the other provisions of this
Section 3.3.
Section 3.4 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates
If (A) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (B) except in the case of
a mutilated Certificate so surrendered, there is delivered to the Certificate
Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate
Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust.
In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.4,
the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate
Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section 3.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 3.5 Persons Deemed Owners
Prior to presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee, the Operating Adviser
and any agents of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee or
the Operating Adviser may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as of the related Record Date as the owner of such Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicers, the Special
Servicers, the Trustee, the Operating Adviser or any agent of the Master
Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee or the Operating Adviser shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 3.6 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses
If three or more Certificateholders, a Certificateholder holding all
the Certificates of any Class of Certificates, any Master Servicer, any Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Adviser or the Depositor (A) request in
writing from the Certificate Registrar a list of the names and addresses of
Certificateholders and (B) in the case of a request by Certificateholders, state
that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates,
then the Certificate Registrar shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt
of such request, afford such Certificateholders, the Master Servicers, the
Special Servicers, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Operating Adviser, as
applicable, access during normal business hours to a current list of the
Certificateholders. The expense of providing any such information requested by
such Person shall be borne by the party requesting such information and shall
not be borne by the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee. Every
Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that the
Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of
the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders
hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 3.7 Book-Entry Certificates
(a) The Class A-1, Class A-1A, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class
A-M, Class A-J, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G,
Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class O and Class P
Certificates, upon original issuance, each shall be issued in the form of one or
more Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to
the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (the
"Depository"), the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor,
provided that any Non-Investment Grade Certificates sold to Institutional
Accredited Investors who are not Qualified Institutional Buyers will be issued
as Definitive Certificates. The Certificates shall initially be registered on
the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the
Depository, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will
receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest
in the Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.9. Unless and until
Definitive Certificates have been issued to the Certificate Owners pursuant to
Section 3.9:
(i) the provisions of this Section 3.7 shall be in full force and
effect with respect to each such Class;
(ii) the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Certificate Registrar and
the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including
the making of distributions on the Certificates) as the authorized
representative of the Certificate Owners;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.7 conflict
with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section
3.7 shall control with respect to each such Class; and
(iv) the rights of the Certificate Owners of each such Class shall be
exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the applicable Participants
and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Participants. Pursuant
to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Certificates are issued
pursuant to Section 3.9, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry
transfers among the Participants and receive and transmit distributions of
principal and interest on the related Certificates to such Participants.
(b) For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or
permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of the
Certificates evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by the Clearing
Agency at the direction of Certificate Owners owning Certificates evidencing the
requisite percentage of principal amount of Certificates. The Clearing Agency
may take conflicting actions with respect to the Certificates to the extent that
such actions are taken on behalf of the Certificate Owners.
(c) The Certificates of each Class (other than the Residual
Certificates) initially sold in reliance on Rule 144A or with respect to the
Class A-1, Class A-1A, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-M, Class A-J,
Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates
sold to Institutional Accredited Investors shall be represented by the Rule 144A
IAI Global Certificate for such Class, which shall be deposited with the
Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository and registered in the
name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository. The Class J, Class K, Class L,
Class M, Class N, Class O and Class P Certificates initially sold to
Institutional Accredited Investors shall be represented by IAI Definitive
Certificates for such Class. The Certificates evidenced by any Rule 144A IAI
Global Certificate or IAI Definitive Certificate shall be subject to certain
restrictions on transfer as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof and shall bear
legend(s) regarding such restrictions described herein.
(d) The Certificates of each Class (other than the Residual
Certificates) initially sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation
S shall be represented by the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate for such
Class, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for
the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the
Depository. Not earlier than the Release Date, beneficial interests in any
Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall be exchangeable for beneficial
interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate for such Class.
Beneficial interests in any Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate may be
held only through Euroclear or Clearstream; provided, however, that such
interests may be exchanged for interests in the Rule 144A IAI Global Certificate
for such Class in accordance with the certification requirements described in
Section 3.7(f). The Regulation S Permanent Global Certificates shall be
deposited with the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository and
registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository.
On or prior to the Release Date and on or prior to any Distribution
Date occurring prior to the Release Date, each Certificate Owner of a Regulation
S Temporary Global Certificate that holds a beneficial interest therein on the
Release Date or on any such Distribution Date, as the case may be, must deliver
to Euroclear or Clearstream (as applicable) a Regulation S Certificate;
provided, however, that any Certificate Owner that holds a beneficial interest
in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate on the Release Date or on any
such Distribution Date that has previously delivered a Regulation S Certificate
to Euroclear or Clearstream with respect to its interest therein does not need
to deliver any subsequent Regulation S Certificate (unless the certificate
previously delivered is no longer true as of such subsequent date, and such
Certificate Owner must promptly notify Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable,
thereof). Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, shall be required to promptly
deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit I hereto to the effect that it has received the requisite Regulation S
Certificates for each such Class, and no Certificate Owner (or transferee from
any such Certificate Owner) shall be entitled to receive an interest in the
Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate for such Class or any payment or
principal or interest with respect to its interest in such Regulation S
Temporary Global Certificate prior to the Certificate Registrar receiving such
certification from Euroclear or Clearstream with respect to the portion of the
Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate owned by such Certificate Owner (and,
with respect to an interest in the applicable Regulation S Permanent Global
Certificate, prior to the Release Date). After the Release Date, distributions
due with respect to any beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless
exchange for a beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Permanent Global
Certificate is improperly withheld or refused. No interest in a Regulation S
Global Certificate may be held by or transferred to a U.S. Person (as defined in
Regulation S) except for exchanges for a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A
IAI Global Certificate for such Class as described in Section 3.7(f).
(e) Except in the limited circumstances described below in Section 3.9,
owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates shall not be entitled to
receive physical delivery of Definitive Certificates. The Certificates are not
issuable in bearer form. Upon the issuance of each Global Certificate, the
Depository or its custodian shall credit, on its internal system, the respective
principal amount of the individual beneficial interests represented by such
Global Certificate to the accounts of Persons who have accounts with such
Depository. Such accounts initially shall be designated by or on behalf of the
Underwriters and Placement Agents. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global
Certificate shall be limited to Customers or Persons who hold interests directly
or indirectly through Customers. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global
Certificates shall be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership shall be
effected only through, records maintained by the Depository or its nominee (with
respect to interests of Customers) and the records of Customers (with respect to
interests of Persons other than Customers).
So long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered holder of
a Global Certificate, the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, shall
be considered the sole owner and holder of the Certificates represented by such
Global Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement and the Certificates,
including, without limitation, obtaining consents and waivers thereunder, and
the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall not be affected by any notice to
the contrary. Except under the circumstance described in Section 3.9, owners of
beneficial interests in a Global Certificate will not be entitled to have any
portions of such Global Certificate registered in their names, will not receive
or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Certificates in
certificated form and shall not be considered the owners or holders of the
Global Certificate (or any Certificates represented thereby) under this
Agreement or the Certificates. In addition, no Certificate Owner of an interest
in a Global Certificate shall be able to transfer that interest except in
accordance with the Depository's applicable procedures (in addition to those
under this Agreement and, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream).
(f) Any holder of an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate
shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Certificate Registrar,
Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, and the Depository, in the form of an
Exchange Certification (substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto),
to exchange all or a portion of such interest (in authorized denominations as
set forth in Section 3.1(b)) for an equivalent interest in the Rule 144A IAI
Global Certificate for such Class in connection with a transfer of its interest
therein to a transferee that is eligible to hold an interest in such Rule 144A
IAI Global Certificate as described herein; provided, however, that no Exchange
Certification shall be required if any such exchange occurs after the Release
Date. Any holder of an interest in the Rule 144A IAI Global Certificate shall
have the right, upon prior written notice to the Certificate Registrar, the
Depository and Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, in the form of an
Exchange Certification, to exchange all or a portion of such interest (in
authorized denominations as set forth in Section 3.1(b)) for an equivalent
interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for such Class in connection
with a transfer of its interest therein to a transferee that is eligible to hold
an interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate as described herein;
provided, however, that if such exchange occurs prior to the Release Date, the
transferee shall acquire an interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificate only and shall be subject to all of the restrictions associated
therewith described in Section 3.7(d). Following receipt of any Exchange
Certification or request for transfer, as applicable, by the Certificate
Registrar: (i) the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the schedule to any
Global Certificate representing the Certificate or Certificates being exchanged
to reduce the stated principal amount of such Global Certificate by the
denominations of the Certificate or Certificates for which such exchange is to
be made, and (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the schedule to any
Global Certificate representing the Certificate or Certificates for which such
exchange is to be made to increase the stated principal amount of such Global
Certificate by the denominations of the Certificate or Certificates being
exchanged therefor. The form of the Exchange Certification shall be available
from the Certificate Registrar.
Section 3.8 Notices to Clearing Agency
Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is
required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall
have been issued to the related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.9, the
Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be
given to Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency which
shall give such notices and communications to the related Participants in
accordance with its applicable rules, regulations and procedures.
Section 3.9 Definitive Certificates
(a) Definitive Certificates will be issued to the owners of beneficial
interests in a Global Certificate or their nominees if (i) the Clearing Agency
notifies the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar in writing that the
Clearing Agency is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global
Certificate and a qualifying successor depositary is not appointed by the
Depositor within 90 days thereof, (ii) the Trustee has instituted or caused to
be instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a
court to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement and
under such Global Certificate and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that
in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or advisable for the Trustee
or its custodian to obtain possession of such Global Certificate, or (iii) after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing a
majority in aggregate outstanding Certificate Balance of such Global Certificate
advise the Clearing Agency through the Participants in writing (and the Clearing
Agency so advises the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master
Servicers in writing) that the continuation in global form of the Certificates
being evidenced by such Global Certificate is no longer in their best interests;
provided that under no circumstances will Definitive Certificates be issued to
Certificate Owners of the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate. Upon notice
of the occurrence of any of the events described in the preceding sentence, the
Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing Agency and request the Clearing
Agency to notify all Certificate Owners, through the applicable Participants, of
the occurrence of the event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates
to such Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar of the Global Certificates by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for
registration, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Definitive Certificates. None of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be liable for any
delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall
be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the extent applicable with respect to
such Definitive Certificates, and the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee
shall recognize the Holders of Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.
(b) Distributions of principal and interest on the Definitive
Certificates shall be made by the Trustee directly to holders of Definitive
Certificates in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
ADVANCES
P&I Advances and Servicing Advances shall be made as provided herein by
the General Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than NCB,
FSB Loans and, in respect of the Servicing Advances, other than the Non-Trust
Serviced Loan Group) and the NCB Master Servicer (with respect to the NCB, FSB
Loans) and, if the applicable Master Servicer does not make such Advances, by
the Trustee, except to the extent that the applicable Master Servicer or the
Trustee determines in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Section 4.1 P&I Advances by the Master Servicers
(a) The applicable Master Servicer shall make a P&I Advance in respect
of each Mortgage Loan of the P&I Advance Amount (if greater than zero) on the
Master Servicer Remittance Date. It is understood that the obligation of each
Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory and shall apply through
any court appointed stay period or similar payment delay resulting from any
insolvency of the Mortgagor or related bankruptcy. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the applicable Master Servicer shall not be required to make such P&I
Advance, if such Master Servicer determines, in accordance with Section 4.4
below, that any such P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and shall not
make such P&I Advance if such P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance as determined by the applicable Special Servicer in accordance with the
Servicing Standard and the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer of
such determination not later than 10:00 a.m. (and on a Business Day) on the date
prior to the date on which the Master Servicer would be required to make such
P&I Advance in the absence of a recoverability determination. Such determination
shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Certificateholders. The
applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not advance default interest,
Balloon Payments, Prepayment Premiums or any principal and interest payments in
respect of the Non-Trust Serviced Companion Loan.
(b) If a Master Servicer determines that there is a P&I Advance Amount
with respect to its applicable Mortgage Loans for a Distribution Date, such
Master Servicer shall on the Master Servicer Remittance Date either (A) deposit
in the applicable Certificate Account an amount equal to the P&I Advance Amount
or (B) utilize funds in such Certificate Account being held for future
distributions or withdrawals to make such Advance. Any funds being held in a
Certificate Account for future distribution or withdrawal and so used shall be
replaced by the applicable Master Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such
Certificate Account on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance Date to
the extent that funds in such Certificate Account on such Master Servicer
Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Trustee or other Persons
required to be made on such date.
Section 4.1A P&I Advances with Respect to the Non-Trust Serviced Pari
Passu Loan
With respect to the Non-Trust Serviced Pari Passu Loan, the General
Master Servicer shall make its determination that it has made a P&I Advance on
the Non-Trust Serviced Pari Passu Loan that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that
any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance
with respect to the Non-Trust Serviced Pari Passu Loan, and the General Special
Servicer shall make its determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard
that such P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, both
determinations to be made in accordance with Section 4.1, including with regard
to any notices required to be delivered to the General Master Servicer by the
General Special Servicer. Both such determinations shall be made independently
of any determination made by the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer under the 2007-HQ11
Pooling and Servicing Agreement in respect of the Non-Trust Serviced Companion
Loan, and the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer shall make its own determination that it
has made a P&I Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Advance (as defined in the
2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or that any proposed P&I Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (as defined in the 2007-HQ11
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) with respect to the Non-Trust Serviced
Companion Loan included in such Loan Group in accordance with the 2007-HQ11
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The determination by the General Master
Servicer, the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer or the General Special Servicer, as
applicable, that any such P&I Advance is nonrecoverable shall be binding on the
2007-HQ11 Master Servicer and the General Master Servicer, as applicable, the
Certificateholders and the holders of any securities relating to the Non-Trust
Serviced Companion Loan unless the Trustee or the General Master Servicer, as
the case may be, has been advised by the 2007-HQ11 Trustee or the 2007-Master
Servicer that the party who made such nonrecoverability determination no longer
has the required rating under the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
If the General Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance,
if made, would be, or any outstanding P&I Advance previously made is, as
applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the General Master Servicer shall provide
the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer written notice of such determination within one
Business Day of the date of such determination. If the General Master Servicer
receives written notice by the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer that it has determined,
with respect to the Non-Trust Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed P&I
Advance would be, or any outstanding P&I Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance,
then such determination shall be binding on the Certificateholders and none of
the General Master Servicer or the Trustee shall make any additional P&I
Advances with respect to the Non-Trust Serviced Pari Passu Loan unless the
General Master Servicer has consulted with the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer and
they agree that circumstances with respect to such Loan Group have changed such
that a proposed future P&I Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Master Servicer shall
continue to have the discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any
future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a
Nonrecoverable Advance. Once such a determination is made by the General Master
Servicer or the General Master Servicer receives written notice of such
determination by the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer, none of the General Master
Servicer or the Trustee shall make any additional P&I Advances with respect to
the Non-Trust Serviced Pari Passu Loan until the General Master Servicer has
followed the process set forth in this Section 4.1A.
Section 4.2 Servicing Advances
The applicable Master Servicer and, if such Master Servicer does not,
the Trustee to the extent the Trustee receives written notice from such Master
Servicer that such Advance has not been made by such Master Servicer, shall make
Servicing Advances within 5 Business Days after the determination that such
Servicing Advance is necessary (and, in the case of the Trustee, within 6
Business Days after receipt of such notice (i.e., 5 Business Days after receipt
of such notice and one additional Business Day after the delivery of notice to
the applicable Master Servicer, pursuant to Section 4.3(b) hereof, that such
Master Servicer has not made the required Servicing Advance) or, with respect to
such Master Servicer or the Trustee, such shorter period, as may be required to
avoid a foreclosure of liens for delinquent real estate taxes or a lapse in
insurance coverage, to the extent provided in this Agreement, except to the
extent that such Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in
accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. If such Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
determines that such advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, then
such party shall promptly deliver notice of such determination to the applicable
Special Servicer. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Special Servicer
shall determine (with the reasonable assistance of such Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable) whether the payment of such amount is (i) necessary to
preserve the related Mortgaged Property and (ii) would be in the best interest
of the Certificateholders. If such Special Servicer shall determine that the
payment of such amount is (i) necessary to preserve the related Mortgaged
Property and (ii) would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders, then
such Special Servicer shall promptly direct such Master Servicer or the Trustee,
as applicable, in writing to make such payment and such party shall make such
payment from amounts in the Certificate Account within the time periods set
forth herein. Such determination by such Master Servicer or such Special
Servicer shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. The applicable Special Servicer shall not be required to
make Servicing Advances under this Agreement, but may make such Servicing
Advances, on an emergency basis, at its option in which event the applicable
Master Servicer shall reimburse such Special Servicer within 1 Business Day of
receipt of a statement therefor sent to the applicable Master Servicer. The
applicable Special Servicer promptly shall notify the applicable Master Servicer
that a Servicing Advance is required in connection with a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and such Master Servicer shall make such
Servicing Advance within 5 Business Days of receipt of such notice (or such
shorter period as may be required to avoid a foreclosure of liens for delinquent
real estate taxes or a lapse in insurance coverage). In addition, such Special
Servicer shall provide the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee with such
information in its possession as the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee
may reasonably request to enable such Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, to determine whether a requested Servicing Advance would constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any request by a Special Servicer that a Master
Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by such
Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable
Advance and such Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such
determination; provided, that the determination shall not be binding on any
Master Servicer or the Trustee. The applicable Master Servicer or Special
Servicer may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but
not reverse the other Master Servicer or Special Servicer's determination that
an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance). Promptly after discovering that such
applicable Master Servicer has failed to make a Servicing Advance that such
Master Servicer is required to make hereunder, the Trustee shall promptly notify
the Trustee in writing of the failure by such Master Servicer to make such
Servicing Advance.
The 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer is obligated to make Servicing Advances
(as defined in the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the
2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Non-Trust-Serviced
Pari Passu Loan, and no party to this Agreement shall have any obligation, and
shall not be entitled, to make any Servicing Advances with respect to the
Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan.
Section 4.3 Advances by the Trustee
(a) To the extent that a Master Servicer fails to make a P&I Advance by
the Master Servicer Remittance Date (other than a P&I Advance that such Master
Servicer determines is a Nonrecoverable Advance), the Trustee shall make such
P&I Advance to the extent the Trustee receives written notice from such Master
Servicer not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Distribution Date
that such Advance has not been made by the applicable Master Servicer on the
Master Servicer Remittance Date unless the Trustee determines that such P&I
Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (or with respect to the
Non-Trust Serviced Pari Passu Loan, the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer makes a
nonrecoverability determination as described in Section 4.1A). To the extent the
Trustee is required hereunder to make P&I Advances on the Mortgage Loans, it
shall deposit the amount thereof in the Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on the related Distribution Date. The applicable Master Servicer
shall notify the Trustee in writing as soon as practicable, but not later than
10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Distribution Date if such Master Servicer
has failed to make a P&I Advance.
(b) To the extent that a Master Servicer fails to make a Servicing
Advance by the date such Servicing Advance is required to be made (other than a
Servicing Advance that such Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer
determines is a Nonrecoverable Advance), and a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee receives notice thereof, the Trustee shall notify such Master Servicer
of such failure and the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance promptly, but
in any event, not later than six Business Days after notice thereof in
accordance with Section 4.2 (i.e., 5 Business Days after receipt of notice by
the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.2 that such Servicing Advance is required to
be made by the applicable Master Servicer, and one additional Business Day after
the delivery of notice to the applicable Master Servicer, as set forth above,
that such Master Servicer has not made the required Servicing Advance) (or such
shorter period as may be required to avoid a foreclosure of liens for delinquent
real estate taxes or a lapse in insurance coverage), unless the Trustee
determines that such Servicing Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance. If the Trustee determines that such advance would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance, then the Trustee shall deliver notice of such
determination to the applicable Special Servicer. Upon receipt of such notice,
the applicable Special Servicer shall determine (with the reasonable assistance
of the Trustee) whether the payment of such amount is (i) necessary to preserve
the related Mortgaged Property and (ii) would be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders. If such Special Servicer shall determine that the payment of
such amount is (i) necessary to preserve the related Mortgaged Property and (ii)
would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders, then such Special
Servicer shall promptly direct the Trustee in writing to make such payment and
the Trustee shall make such payment within five Business Days after receipt of
such notice (or such shorter period as may be required to avoid a foreclosure of
liens for delinquent real estate taxes or a lapse in insurance coverage) from
amounts in the Distribution Account.
Section 4.4 Evidence of Nonrecoverability
(a) If a Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer determines
at any time, in its sole discretion, exercised in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, that any Advance previously made (or Unliquidated Advance in respect
thereof) or any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance, such determination shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate
delivered to the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable
Special Servicer, the Operating Adviser and the Rating Agencies promptly upon
making such determination, but in no event later than the Business Day following
the date of such determination. Such Officer's Certificate shall set forth the
reasons for such determination of nonrecoverability, together with, to the
extent such information, report or document is in the applicable Master
Servicer's or applicable Special Servicer's possession, any related financial
information such as related income and expense statements, rent rolls (with
respect to mortgaged properties other than residential cooperative properties),
occupancy status, property inspections and any Appraisals performed within the
last 12 months on the Mortgaged Property, and, if such reports are used by the
applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer to determine that
any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as applicable, would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance, any engineers' reports, environmental surveys, internal final
valuations or other information relevant thereto which support such
determination. If the Trustee determines at any time, in its sole discretion,
exercised in good faith, that any portion of an Advance previously made or a
portion of a proposed Advance that the Trustee is required to make pursuant to
this Agreement, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, such
determination shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, delivered to the Depositor, the applicable Master
Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer and the Operating Adviser similar to
the Officer's Certificate of a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer described
in the prior sentence. The Trustee shall not be required to make an Advance that
the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer has previously
determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers or the
Trustee shall be obligated to, nor shall it, make any Advance or make any
payment that is designated in this Agreement to be an Advance, if the Trustee
determines in its good faith business judgment and, with respect to the
applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance or such payment (including
interest accrued thereon at the Advance Rate) would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Absent bad faith, the applicable Master Servicer's determination as to the
nonrecoverability of any Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the
Certificateholders and may, in all cases, be relied on by the Trustee; provided,
however, that the applicable Special Servicer may, at its option, make a
determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any P&I Advance or
Servicing Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and shall deliver
to the Master Servicer and the Trustee notice of such determination; provided,
further, however, the applicable Special Servicer shall have no right to make an
affirmative determination that any P&I Advance is or would be recoverable and,
in the absence of a determination by the applicable Special Servicer that such
Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the decision that a P&I Advance
is recoverable shall remain with the applicable Master Servicer or Trustee, as
applicable. Absent bad faith, such determination by the applicable Special
Servicer shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders, the Master
Servicers and the Trustee. Absent bad faith or breach of the servicing standard
under the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement known to the General Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, the determination as to the
nonrecoverability of any principal and interest advance made or proposed to be
made with respect to the Non-Trust-Serviced Companion Loan pursuant to the
2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall be conclusive and binding on
the Certificateholders and may, in all cases, be relied on by the Trustee and
the General Master Servicer unless the Trustee or the General Master Servicer,
as the case may be, has been advised by the 2007-HQ11 Trustee or the 2007-Master
Servicer that the party who made such nonrecoverability determination no longer
has the required rating under the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
applicable Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of
prior P&I Advances and Servicing Advances as outstanding Advances for purposes
of nonrecoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance were a P&I
Advance or Servicing Advance, as applicable.
(b) With respect to the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan, the
2007-HQ11 Master Servicer, the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer and the 2007-HQ11
Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for Pari Passu Loan
Nonrecoverable Advances with respect to the Non-Trust Serviced Pari Passu Loan
serviced by the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer or the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer
(with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under
the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement) in the manner set forth in
Section 5.2(a) Subsection (I)(ii) and 5.2(a) Subsection (I)(iii).
Section 4.5 Interest on Advances; Calculation of Outstanding Advances
with Respect to a Mortgage Loan
Any unreimbursed Advance funded from each Master Servicer's, each
Special Servicer's or the Trustee's own funds shall accrue interest on a daily
basis, at a per annum rate equal to the Advance Rate, from and including the
date such Advance was made to but not including the date on which such Advance
has been reimbursed; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicers nor
any other party shall be entitled to interest accrued on the amount of any P&I
Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan for the period commencing on the date
of such P&I Advance and ending on the day on which the grace period applicable
to the related Mortgagor's obligation to make the related Scheduled Payment
expires pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents but shall be entitled to
interest on such Advance at the Advance Rate to the extent the Scheduled Payment
remains outstanding beyond the expiration of the grace period. In addition, no
Master Servicer shall be entitled to interest on any particular P&I Advance (or
portion thereof) made thereby to the extent a payment (or portion thereof) is
received but is being held by or on behalf of such Master Servicer in connection
with any dispute, claim or offset. For purposes of determining whether a P&I
Advance is outstanding, amounts collected with respect to a particular Mortgage
Loan or a particular REO Property and treated as collections of principal or
interest shall be applied first to reimburse the earliest P&I Advance and then
each succeeding P&I Advance to the extent not inconsistent with Section 4.6. The
applicable Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing
Standard to collect (but shall have no further obligation to collect), with
respect to the Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans,
Late Fees and default interest from the Mortgagor in an amount sufficient to pay
Advance Interest incurred and unpaid with respect to such Mortgage Loan arising
on or after the Cut-Off Date. The applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled
to retain Late Fees and default interest paid by any Mortgagor during a
Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than the portion of
such Late Fees and default interest that relates to the period commencing after
the Servicing Transfer Event in respect of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan,
as to which the applicable Special Servicer shall retain Late Fees and default
interest with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, subject to the
offsets set forth below) as additional servicing compensation only to the extent
such Late Fees and default interest with respect to such Mortgage Loan exceed
unreimbursed Advance Interest with respect to such Mortgage Loan arising on or
after the Cut-Off Date. The applicable Special Servicer, with respect to any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall (i) pay from any Late Fees and default
interest collected from such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (a) any
outstanding and unpaid Advance Interest payable with respect to such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and (b) to the Trust, any losses
previously incurred by the Trust with respect to such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan (other than the related Special Servicing Fees) and (ii) retain
any remaining portion of such Late Fees and default interest as additional
Special Servicer Compensation. It is hereby acknowledged that the applicable
Master Servicer may only waive Late Fees and default interest to the extent set
forth in Section 8.3(a).
Section 4.6 Reimbursement of Advances and Advance Interest
(a) Advances made with respect to each Mortgage Loan, each Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or each REO Property (including Advances later determined
to be Nonrecoverable Advances) and Advance Interest thereon shall be reimbursed
to the extent of the amounts identified to be applied therefor in Section 5.2.
The aggregate of the amounts available to repay Advances and Advance Interest
thereon pursuant to Section 5.2 collected in any Collection Period with respect
to Mortgage Loans, Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Property shall be an
"Available Advance Reimbursement Amount."
(b) To the extent that Advances have been made on the Mortgage Loans,
any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or any REO Mortgage Loans, the Available
Advance Reimbursement Amount with respect to any Determination Date shall be
applied to reimburse (i) the Trustee for any Advances outstanding to the Trustee
with respect to any of such Mortgage Loans, any of such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans or REO Mortgage Loans, plus any Advance Interest owed to the
Trustee with respect to such Advances and then (ii) the applicable Master
Servicer and Special Servicer for any Advances outstanding to such Master
Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to
any of such Mortgage Loans, any of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO
Mortgage Loans, plus any Advance Interest owed to the applicable Master Servicer
or applicable Special Servicer with respect to such Advances. To the extent that
any Advance Interest payable to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable
Special Servicer or the Trustee with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan or REO Mortgage Loan cannot be recovered from the related Mortgagor, the
amount of such Advance Interest shall be payable to the Trustee, the applicable
Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, from
amounts on deposit in the applicable Certificate Account (or sub-account
thereof) (or, if not available from such Certificate Account, the other
Certificate Account) or the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or
Section 5.3(b)(ii), to the extent of amounts identified to be applied
thereunder. The Master Servicers', the Special Servicers' and the Trustee's
right of reimbursement under this Agreement for Advances and interest thereon
shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amounts
recovered with respect to such Mortgage Loans or REO Mortgage Loans.
(c) Advance Interest arising on or after the Cut-Off Date and not
previously paid with respect to any Mortgage Loan will be paid to the Trustee,
the applicable Special Servicer and/or the applicable Master Servicer (in
accordance with the priorities specified in the preceding paragraph) first, from
Late Fees and default interest collected with respect to such Mortgage Loan
during the Collection Period, and then from Excess Liquidation Proceeds then
available prior to payment from any other amounts. Late Fees and default
interest will be applied on a "loan-by-loan basis" (under which Late Fees and
default interest with respect to a Mortgage Loan will be offset against the
Advance Interest incurred and unpaid with respect to such Mortgage Loan arising
on or after the Cut-Off Date).
(d) To the extent that a Special Servicer incurs out-of-pocket expenses
(other than the Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.2), in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, in connection with servicing Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans, the applicable Master Servicer shall, subject to Section 4.4, reimburse
such Special Servicer for such expenditures on the next succeeding Master
Servicer Remittance Date, provided such Special Servicer has delivered, on or
before the related Determination Date, an invoice and a report substantiating
such expenses from such Special Servicer requesting such reimbursement. All such
amounts paid by a Special Servicer and reimbursed by the applicable Master
Servicer shall be a Servicing Advance. In the event that the applicable Master
Servicer fails to reimburse such Special Servicer hereunder or the applicable
Master Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance was or, if made, would be
a Nonrecoverable Advance and the applicable Master Servicer does not make such
payment, such Special Servicer shall notify the applicable Master Servicer and
the Trustee in writing of such nonpayment and the amount payable to such Special
Servicer and shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from the Trust as an
Additional Trust Expense. The applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall
have no obligation to verify the amount payable to such Special Servicer
pursuant to this Section 4.6(d) and circumstances surrounding the notice
delivered by such Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.6(d).
ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST
Section 5.1 Collections

Master Servicers shall take such actions as are necessary to cause any

Sub-Servicers), other than amounts received by it in respect of interest and
principal on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-Off Date which shall be

5.2(a) rather than deposit them into such Certificate Account, (II) shall,
rather than deposit them in the Certificate Account, directly remit to the
Primary Servicers the applicable Primary Servicing Fees payable as provided in
Section 5.2(a)(iv) (unless already retained by the applicable Primary Servicer),

servicing rights)):
(A) Principal: all payments on account of principal, including

applicable Interest Reserve Account in respect of each related Interest Reserve
Loan, an amount equal to one day's interest at the related REMIC I Net Mortgage

Loan as of the Due Date in the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, to
the extent a Scheduled Payment or P&I Advance is timely made in respect thereof
for such Due Date (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January and
February in respect of each Interest Reserve Loan, the "Interest Reserve
Amount").
(e) Funds in the Certificate Accounts and Interest Reserve Accounts may

Master Servicer in Eligible Investments selected by such Master Servicer which
shall mature, unless payable on demand, not later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the next Master Servicer Remittance Date, and any such

unless payable on demand. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the
name of "U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the Holders of the
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2007-IQ13." None of the Depositor, the Mortgagors or the Trustee shall be
liable for any loss incurred on such Eligible Investments.
An amount equal to all income and gain realized from any such
investment shall be paid to the applicable Master Servicer as additional
servicing compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time from
time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such
investments shall be for the account of the applicable Master Servicer which

Reserve Account, as the case may be, out of its own funds immediately as

Servicer deposits in or transfers to any Certificate Account or any Interest
Reserve Account, as the case may be, any amount not required to be deposited
therein or transferred thereto, it may at any time withdraw such amount or
retransfer such amount from such Certificate Account or Interest Reserve
Account, as the case may be, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
(f) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Eligible Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Eligible
Investment, the Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce
such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of
appropriate proceedings; provided, however, that if a Master Servicer shall have
deposited in the applicable Certificate Account or Interest Reserve Account, as
the case may be, an amount equal to all amounts due under any such Eligible
Investment (net of anticipated income or earnings thereon that would have been
payable to such Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation) such
Master Servicer shall have the sole right to enforce such payment or
performance.
(g) Certain of the Mortgage Loans may provide for payment by the
Mortgagor to the applicable Master Servicer of amounts to be used for payment of
Escrow Amounts for the account of the Mortgagor. The applicable Master Servicer
shall deal with these amounts in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the
terms of the related Mortgage Loans and Section 8.3(e) hereof, and the Primary
Servicers will hold any Escrow Accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans that they
service in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 8.3(e). No
Master Servicer shall release any Escrow Amounts held for "earn-outs" or
performance criteria listed on Schedule XI hereof, without the prior consent of
the Operating Adviser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Within 20 days following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the
applicable Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Operating
Adviser, for each Mortgage Loan set forth on Schedule VIII hereto, a brief
statement as to the status of the work or project based on the most recent
information provided by the related Mortgagor. Schedule VIII sets forth those
Mortgage Loans as to which an upfront reserve was collected at the closing of
such Mortgage Loan (and still exists) in an amount in excess of $75,000 with
respect to specific immediate engineering work, completion of additional
construction, environmental remediation or similar one-time projects (but not
with respect to escrow accounts maintained for ongoing obligations, such as real
estate taxes, insurance premiums, ongoing property maintenance, replacements and
capital improvements or debt service). If the work or project is not completed
in accordance with the requirements of the escrow, the applicable Master
Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer (which shall itself consult with
the Operating Adviser) will consult with each other as to whether there exists a
material default under the underlying Mortgage Loan documents.
(h) In the case of the Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule XII, as to
which the Scheduled Payment is due in a calendar month on a Due Date (including
any grace period) that may occur after the end of the Collection Period ending
in such calendar month, subject to Section 4.4, the applicable Master Servicer
shall, unless the Scheduled Payment is received before the end of the Collection
Period, make a P&I Advance by deposit to the Certificate Account on the Master
Servicer Remittance Date in an amount equal to the Scheduled Payment or the
Assumed Scheduled Payment, as applicable, and for purposes of the definition of
"Available Distribution Amount" and "Principal Distribution Amount," such
Scheduled Payment or Assumed Scheduled Payment, as applicable, shall be deemed
to have been received in such Collection Period. With respect to the
Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan, any amounts received by the General Master
Servicer pursuant to the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect
to a Distribution Date shall be deemed to have been received by the General
Master Servicer in the related Collection Period for purposes of the definition
of "Available Distribution Amount" and "Principal Distribution Amount."
Section 5.2 Application of Funds in the Certificate Accounts and
Interest Reserve Accounts
(a) Subsection (I). Each Master Servicer shall, from time to time, make
withdrawals from the applicable Certificate Accounts and remit them by wire
transfer prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Master Servicer

Master Servicer shall pay (from its own funds without right of reimbursement
therefor) to the Trustee, for the account of the Trustee, interest on any amount
not timely remitted at the Advance Rate from and including the day the
remittance was required to be made to, but not including, the day on which such
remittance is actually made, and, (notwithstanding any contrary provision of
Section 8.28) if such remittance and payment of interest are made not later than
11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the related Distribution Date, then, insofar as the
failure to make such remittance otherwise constitutes an Event of Default on the
part of the Master Servicer, then such Event of Default shall thereupon be
deemed to have been cured; and (z) to the applicable Special Servicer from time
to time of amounts payable to such Special Servicer from the applicable
Certificate Account pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (vi), (vii) and (ix)
below of the following amounts, from the amounts specified for the following

extent that a Servicing Advance has been or is being reimbursed, any

the particular Mortgage Loan on or after the Cut-Off Date), to the payment
of Advance Interest incurred on or after the Cut-Off Date and unpaid on all

reimburse the General Special Servicer for such Servicing Advance as

Account are not sufficient to reimburse both such Servicing Advances with
interest thereon, then such Servicing Advance with respect to the subject

first until paid in full or (y) after a Final Recovery Determination or
determination that any Servicing Advance on the related Mortgage Loan is a
Nonrecoverable Advance, any Servicing Advances made on the related Mortgage

Section 4.4(b)) and (B) in the case of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu

Nonrecoverable Advances): in the case of the Mortgage Loans, subject to
subsection (iv) of Section 5.2(a)(II) below, to reimburse or pay to each
Master Servicer and the Trustee, pursuant to Section 4.6, (x) if prior to a
Final Recovery Determination or determination that any Advance is a
Nonrecoverable Advance, any P&I Advances from Late Collections made by the
Mortgagor of the amounts to which a P&I Advance relates, or REO Income from
the related REO Property or from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation

available and then from any other amounts on deposit in the applicable
Certificate Account (or, if not available from such Certificate Account,
the other Certificate Account); provided that Late Fees and default

and default interest paid with respect to each Mortgage Loan will be offset
against the Advance Interest incurred and unpaid with respect to the
particular Mortgage Loan on or after the Cut-Off Date) or (y) if after a
Final Recovery Determination or determination in accordance with Section

Subsection (II). The provisions of this subsection II of this Section
5.2(a) shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) of
this Section 5.2(a):
(i) Identification of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts: If any
Advance made with respect to any Mortgage Loan on or before the date on
which such Mortgage Loan becomes (or, but for the requirement that the
Mortgagor shall have made three consecutive scheduled payments under its
modified terms, would then constitute) a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan,
together with Advance Interest accrued thereon, is not, pursuant to the
operation of the provisions of Section 5.2(a)(I), reimbursed to the Person
who made such Advance on or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage
Loan becomes a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, such Advance, together with
such Advance Interest, shall constitute a "Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amount" to the extent that such amount has not been determined to
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. All references herein to
"Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount" shall be construed always to mean
the related Advance and any Advance Interest thereon, together with any
further Advance Interest that accrues on the unreimbursed portion of such
Advance from time to time in accordance with the other provisions of this
Agreement. That any amount constitutes all or a portion of any
Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount shall not in any manner limit the
right of any Person hereunder to determine that such amount instead
constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(ii) General Relationship of Provisions: Subsection (iii) below
(subject to the terms and conditions thereof) sets forth the terms of and
conditions to the right of a Person to be reimbursed for any
Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount to the extent that such Person is not
otherwise entitled to reimbursement and payment of such Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amount pursuant to the operation of Section 5.2(a)(I) above.
Subsection (iv) below (subject to the terms and conditions thereof)
authorizes the Master Servicer to abstain from reimbursing itself (or, if
applicable, the Trustee to abstain from obtaining reimbursement) for
Nonrecoverable Advances under certain circumstances in its sole discretion.
Upon any determination that all or any portion of a Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amount constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance, then the
reimbursement or payment of such amount (and any further Advance Interest
that may accrue thereon) shall cease to be subject to the operation of
subsection (iii) below, such amount (and further Advance Interest) shall be
as fully payable and reimbursable to the relevant Person as would any other
Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) and, as a
Nonrecoverable Advance, such amount may become the subject of the
applicable Master Servicer's (or, if applicable, the Trustee's) exercise of
its sole discretion authorized by subsection (iv) below.
(iii) Reimbursements of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts: Each
Master Servicer, each Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable,
shall be entitled to reimbursement and payment for all Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amounts in each Collection Period; provided, however, that
the aggregate amount (for all such Persons collectively) of such
reimbursements and payments in such Collection Period shall not exceed (and
the reimbursement and payment shall be made from) the aggregate amounts in
the Certificate Account allocable to principal for such Collection Period
contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution
Amount (but not including any such amounts that constitute Advances) and
net of any Nonrecoverable Advances then outstanding and reimbursable from
such amounts in the Certificate Account allocable to principal in
accordance with Section 5.2(a)(II)(iv) below. As and to the extent provided
in clause (II)(A) of the definition thereof, the Principal Distribution
Amount for the Distribution Date related to such Collection Period shall be
reduced to the extent that such payment or reimbursement of a
Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount is made from amounts in the
Certificate Account allocable to principal pursuant to the preceding
sentence.
(iv) Reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances; Sole Discretion to
Abstain from Reimbursements of Certain Nonrecoverable Advances: To the
extent that Section 5.2(a)(I) otherwise entitles the applicable Master
Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee to reimbursement for any
Nonrecoverable Advance (including Workout Delayed Reimbursement Amounts
that have been determined by a Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the
Trustee to be Nonrecoverable Advances) (or payment of Advance Interest
thereon from a source other than Late Fees and default interest on the
related Mortgage Loan) during any Collection Period, then, notwithstanding
any contrary provision of subsection (I) above, (a) to the extent that one
or more such reimbursements and payments of Nonrecoverable Advances (and
such Advance Interest thereon) are made, such reimbursements and payments
shall be made, first, from the aggregate principal collections and
recoveries on the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period contemplated by
clause (I)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount (but not
including any such amounts that constitute Advances, and prior to any
deduction for Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (and Advance Interest
thereon) that were reimbursed or paid during the related Collection Period
from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans, as described by clause
(II)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount and pursuant to
subsection (iii) of Section 5.2(a)(II)), and then from other collections
(including interest) on the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period, and
(b) if and to the extent that the amount of such a Nonrecoverable Advance
(and Advance Interest thereon), together with all Nonrecoverable Advances
(and Advance Interest thereon) theretofore reimbursed during such
Collection Period, would exceed such principal collections and recoveries
on the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period (and Advance Interest
thereon), the applicable Master Servicer (and the applicable Special
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, if it made the relevant Advance) is
hereby authorized (but shall not be construed to have any obligation
whatsoever) (as an accommodation), if it elects at its sole discretion
(subject to the requirement below that the applicable Master Servicer may
not defer any reimbursement for more than 6 Collection Periods without the
consent of the Operating Adviser and, in any event, 12 Collection Periods
in the aggregate), to abstain from reimbursing itself (notwithstanding that
it is entitled to such reimbursement) during that Collection Period for all
or a portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon);
provided, however, that no deferment shall be more than the amount by which
the Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) exceed the
amount of principal on collection in the Certificate Account. The
applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, in considering
whether an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be entitled to give
due regard to the existence of any outstanding Nonrecoverable Advance or
Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans
which, at the time of such consideration, the reimbursement of which is
being deferred or delayed by the applicable Master Servicer, applicable
Special Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal
available for such reimbursement, in light of the fact that proceeds on the
related Mortgage Loan are a source of reimbursement not only for the P&I
Advance or Servicing Advance under consideration, but also as a potential
source of reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amount which is or may be being deferred or delayed. In
connection with a potential election by the applicable Master Servicer,
Special Servicer or Trustee to abstain from the reimbursement of a
particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection
Period for any Distribution Date, the applicable Master Servicer (or the
applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable) shall further be
authorized to wait for principal collections to be received before making
its determination of whether to abstain from the reimbursement of a
particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof until the end of the
Collection Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Master
Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable)
may defer the above reimbursement for no more than 6 Collection Periods
without the consent of the Operating Adviser and, in any event, 12
Collection Periods in the aggregate. If the applicable Master Servicer (or
the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable), determines,
in its sole discretion, that its ability to fully recover the
Nonrecoverable Advances has been compromised or for any other reason
decides not to continue deferral, then the applicable Master Servicer (or
the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable) will be
entitled to immediate reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance plus
interest thereon at the Advance Rate. The agreement of the applicable
Master Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable) to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances shall
not be construed as an obligation on the part of such applicable Master
Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable), or a right of the Certificateholders. No such deferment shall
be deemed to create in the Certificateholders a right to prior payment of
distributions over such Master Servicer's, Special Servicer's or the
Trustee's right to reimbursement for Advances. Deferred Advances shall
continue to earn interest at the Advance Rate. In all events the decision
to defer reimbursement or seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable
Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
None of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers or the Trustee
shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from
making an election, that is authorized under this subsection (II)(iv). The
foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may
otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply
with the conditions to making such an election under this subsection (II)(iv) or
to comply with the terms of this subsection (II)(iv) and the other provisions of
this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made.
Any election by a Master Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer
or the Trustee, as applicable) to abstain from reimbursing itself for any
Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof with
respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on such Master
Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable) any
obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any
Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election) with respect to any
subsequent Collection Period or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the
right of such Master Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable) to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable
Advance (and Advance Interest thereon). Any election by a Master Servicer, a
Special Servicer or the Trustee to abstain from reimbursing itself for any
Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more
Collection Periods shall not limit the accrual of Advance Interest on the
unreimbursed portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the
actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. None of the Master
Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Trustee or the other parties to this
Agreement shall have any liability to one another, to any of the
Certificateholders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated
by this subsection or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other
effects that may arise from such an election. The foregoing statements in this
paragraph shall not limit the generality of the statements made in the
immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the
Master Servicers, the Special Servicers or the Trustee shall have the right to
abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of
the amount described in clause (I)(A) of the definition of Principal
Distribution Amount.
To the extent that amounts in the Certificate Account allocable to
principal are not sufficient to fully reimburse any Nonrecoverable Advance (with
interest thereon) in any Collection Period and a Master Servicer, a Special
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, does not intend to exercise its sole
discretion to defer the reimbursement of such amounts to a subsequent Collection
Period, then the applicable Special Servicer, the applicable Master Servicer or
the Trustee, as applicable, shall give the Rating Agencies at least 15 days'
notice prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts
in the Certificate Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless
(1) the applicable Special Servicer, the applicable Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable, determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days
after such a notice could jeopardize such Special Servicer's, such Master
Servicer's or the Trustee's, as applicable, ability to recover such
Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different
information becomes known to the applicable Special Servicer, the applicable
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that could affect or cause a
determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, whether to
defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause
(1) above, or (3) the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master
Servicer, as applicable, has not timely received from the Trustee information
requested by the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer,
as applicable, to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a
Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1), (2) or (3) apply, the
applicable Special Servicer, the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall give Rating Agencies notice of an anticipated reimbursement to
it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Certificate Account allocable
to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such
circumstances.
(v) Reimbursement Rights of the Master Servicers, Special Servicers
and Trustee Are Senior: Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create
in any Certificateholder a right to prior payment of distributions over the
applicable Master Servicer's, the applicable Special Servicer's or the
Trustee's right to reimbursement for Advances plus Advance Interest
(whether those that constitute Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts, those
that have been the subject of the Master Servicer's election authorized in
subsection (iv) or otherwise).
(b) Scheduled Payments due in a Collection Period succeeding the
Collection Period relating to such Master Servicer Remittance Date, Principal
Prepayments received after the related Collection Period, or other amounts not
distributable on the related Distribution Date, shall be held in the applicable
Certificate Account (or sub-account thereof) and shall be distributed on the
Master Servicer Remittance Date or Dates to which such succeeding Collection
Period or Periods relate; provided, however, that as to (i) the Mortgage Loans
set forth on Schedule XII, for which a Scheduled Payment (including any Balloon
Payment) is due in a month on a Due Date (including any grace period) that is
scheduled to occur after the end of the Collection Period in such month, sums
received by the applicable Master Servicer with respect to such Scheduled
Payment but after the end of such Collection Period shall be applied by such
Master Servicer to reimburse any related P&I Advance made pursuant to Section
5.1(h), and such Master Servicer shall remit to the Distribution Account on any
Master Servicer Remittance Date for a Collection Period any such Scheduled
Payments (including any Balloon Payments) received after the end of such
Collection Period but no later than two Business Days immediately preceding such
Master Servicer Remittance Date on such Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule
XII, and (ii) the Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule XIII, for which a
voluntary Principal Prepayment is permitted on any day of the month without the
payment of a full month's interest, the applicable Master Servicer with respect
to such Principal Prepayment shall remit to the Trustee for deposit into the
Distribution Account on any Master Servicer Remittance Date for a Collection
Period any Principal Prepayments received after the end of such Collection
Period but no later than two Business Days immediately preceding such Master
Servicer Remittance Date on such Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule XIII. In
connection with the deposit of any Scheduled Payments and Principal Prepayments
to the Distribution Account in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence, the applicable Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and
the Trustee shall, if it has already reported anticipated distributions to the
Depository, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Depository to make
the revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. Neither
the applicable Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be liable or held
responsible for any resulting delay or failure or any claims or costs incurred
in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders. For purposes of the
definition of "Available Distribution Amount" and "Principal Distribution
Amount," the Scheduled Payments and Principal Prepayments referred to in the
preceding proviso shall be deemed to have been collected in the prior Collection
Period.
(c) On each Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of every year
commencing in March 2007 (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the
Final Distribution Date), the Trustee shall withdraw all related amounts then in
the applicable Interest Reserve Accounts and deposit such amounts into the
Distribution Account.
Section 5.3 Distribution Account, Excess Interest Sub-account and
Reserve Account
(a) The Trustee shall establish (with respect to clause (i), on or
prior to the Closing Date, and with respect to clause (ii), on or prior to the
date the Trustee determines is necessary) and maintain in its name, on behalf of
the Trustee, (i) an account (the "Distribution Account"), which shall include a
certain sub-account (the "Excess Interest Sub-account") to be held in trust for
the benefit of the Holders until disbursed pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, titled: "U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, in trust for the
benefit of the Holders of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc., Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-IQ13, Distribution Account" and (ii) an
account (the "Reserve Account") to be held in trust for the benefit of the
holders of interests in the Trust until disbursed pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, titled: "U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, in trust for the
benefit of the Holders of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc., Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-IQ13, Reserve Account." The Distribution
Account and the Reserve Account shall be Eligible Accounts. Funds in the Reserve
Account shall not be invested. The Distribution Account and the Reserve Account
shall be held separate and apart from and shall not be commingled with any other
monies including, without limitation, other monies of the Trustee held under
this Agreement. The Excess Interest Sub-account and the Reserve Account shall be
deemed sub-accounts of the Distribution Account.
Funds in the Distribution Account will remain uninvested.
If the Trustee deposits in or transfers to the Distribution Account, as
the case may be, any amount not required to be deposited therein or transferred
thereto, it may at any time withdraw such amount or retransfer such amount from
the Distribution Account, as the case may be, notwithstanding any provision
herein to the contrary.
(b) Except as set forth in the next succeeding sentences, the Trustee
shall deposit into the Distribution Account or the Reserve Account, as

Distribution Account and all Excess Liquidation Proceeds into the Reserve
Account. The Trustee shall deposit amounts constituting collections of Excess
Interest on the Mortgage Loans into the Excess Interest Sub-account. Subject to

Servicers shall have any duty to remit to the Distribution Account any amounts
other than amounts held in the applicable Certificate Accounts and collected
during the related Collection Period as provided in clauses (v) and (xi) of
Section 5.2(a) and the P&I Advance Amount, and, on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date occurring in March of any year, commencing in March 2007 (or
February, if the related Distribution Date is the Final Distribution Date),
related amounts held in the applicable Interest Reserve Accounts. The Trustee
shall make withdrawals from the Distribution Account (including the Excess
Interest Sub-account) and the Reserve Account only for the following purposes:
(i) to withdraw amounts deposited in the Distribution Account in error
and pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto;
(ii) to pay any amounts payable to the Master Servicers, the Primary
Servicers, the Special Servicers and the Trustee (including the Trustee's
Fee), or other expenses or other amounts permitted to be paid hereunder and
not previously paid to such Persons pursuant to Section 5.2;

the Certificate Balances of all Classes of REMIC Regular Certificates have
been reduced to zero, and Realized Losses or Expense Losses previously
allocated to each Holder have been reimbursed to the Holders of the REMIC
Regular Certificates, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Distribution
Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Distribution Date occurring on
or after the earliest date, if any, upon which the Certificate Balances of all
the Classes of Subordinate Certificates have been reduced to zero or the
aggregate Appraisal Reduction in effect is greater than or equal to Certificate
Balances of all the Classes of Subordinate Certificates, the Principal
Distribution Amount will be distributed,
o first, to the Holders of the Class A-1, Class A-1A, Class A-2, Class A-3
and Class A-4 Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Certificate
Balances, in reduction of their respective Certificate Balances, until the
Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero; and
o second, to the Holders of the Class A-1, Class A-1A, Class A-2, Class A-3
and Class A-4 Certificates, pro rata, based on the respective amounts of
unreimbursed Realized Losses or Expense Losses previously allocated to each
such Class, plus one month's interest on such Realized Losses or Expense
Losses at the applicable Pass-Through Rate.
(b) On each Distribution Date, following the above-described
distributions on the Principal Balance Certificates and the Class X Certificates
and Class X-Y Certificates, the Trustee shall withdraw amounts in the Reserve
Account and shall pay the Certificateholders on such Distribution Date such
amounts in the following priority:
(i) first, from amounts in the Reserve Account with respect to all
Mortgage Loans, to reimburse the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the
Class X Certificates and the Class X-Y Certificates, pro rata (treating
principal and interest losses separately), and then the remaining amounts to
reimburse the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A
Certificates) (in order of alphabetical Class designation, it being
understood that the rights of the Holders of the Class A-J Certificates to
receive such distributions are subordinate to those of the Holders of the
Class A-M Certificates) for any, and to the extent of, Realized Losses or
Expense Losses previously allocated to them and not previously fully
reimbursed, plus one month's interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate on
such Realized Losses or Expense Losses; and
(ii) second, upon the reduction of the Aggregate Certificate Balance of
the Principal Balance Certificates to zero, to pay any amounts remaining on
deposit in such account to the Special Servicers as additional Special
Servicer Compensation.
Amounts reimbursed pursuant to Section 6.5(b)(i) shall be deemed to be
applied to reimbursement of Realized Losses or Expense Losses previously
allocated to the REMIC II Regular Interests and the REMIC I Regular Interests in
the reverse sequential order and priority as such Realized Losses or Expense
Losses were applied thereto.
(c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the
Excess Interest Sub-account any Excess Interest on deposit therein, and the
Trustee shall distribute such Excess Interest on such Distribution Date to the
Class EI Certificates.
Section 6.6 Allocation of Realized Losses, Expense Losses and
Shortfalls Due to Nonrecoverability
(a) REMIC I. On each Distribution Date, except as provided in
subsection (b) below,
(i) Realized Principal Losses on each Mortgage Loan realized during the
related Collection Period shall reduce the Certificate Balance of the
Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest;
(ii) Realized Interest Losses on each Mortgage Loan shall be allocated
to reduce first, Distributable Certificate Interest for such Distribution
Date, and then Unpaid Interest in each case owing on the Corresponding REMIC
I Regular Interests (and as between the related Group X-Y REMIC I Regular
Interest and Group PB REMIC I Regular Interest, pro rata, based on
Distributable Certificate Interest otherwise payable thereon); and to the
extent that such Realized Interest Loss exceeds such amount, shall be
treated as an Expense Loss; and
(iii) Expense Losses (not otherwise applied above) realized during the
related Collection Period shall be allocated among the REMIC I Regular
Interests in proportion to their Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts
(and, as between the related Group X-Y REMIC I Regular Interest and Group PB
REMIC I Regular Interest, in proportion to Distributable Certificate
Interest or Unpaid Interest, as applicable) after making all other
allocations for such Distribution Date.
(b) In the event that a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer or the
Trustee determines that an Advance previously made by it (whether such Advance
(together with Advance Interest thereon) was in respect of principal or interest
on the related Mortgage Loan or a Servicing Advance) is a Nonrecoverable Advance
and such Master Servicer withdraws the amount of such Advance from the
applicable Certificate Account pursuant to Section 5.2(a) hereof (which amount
shall be treated as an Available Advance Reimbursement Amount pursuant to
Section 4.6 or if the Master Servicer determines any Unliquidated Advance has
become a Nonrecoverable Advance), the applicable Master Servicer (after
consultation with the Special Servicer) shall compute the Realized Loss with
respect to such Mortgage Loan (and the Trustee shall allocate the Realized Loss)
as follows:
(i) the amount withdrawn from the Certificate Account shall be treated
as Realized Principal Losses up to the amount of the aggregate amount in the
Certificate Account allocable to principal for such Collection Period
contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution
Amount, and shall be allocated to the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest
in accordance with Section 6.6(a)(i) (and to the extent that any Realized
Principal Loss exceeds the Certificate Balance of the Corresponding REMIC I
Regular Interest, such Realized Principal Loss shall be allocated to the
other Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interests in accordance with Section
6.6(a)(iii)), and such withdrawal shall reduce the principal paid on each
such REMIC I Regular Interest on which principal would otherwise be paid on
such Distribution Date, in proportion to such principal payments; and
(ii) if the amount that the applicable Master Servicer withdraws from
the Certificate Account as referenced in clause (b)(i) above exceeds such
amounts allocable to principal for such Collection Period, then such
additional amounts shall constitute Unpaid Interest, and shall be allocated
to the REMIC I Regular Interests on a pro rata basis based upon the amount
of accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(c) At such time as a Final Recovery Determination is made with respect
to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which the applicable Master Servicer
previously had withdrawn amounts from the applicable Certificate Account
following a determination that Advances previously made were Nonrecoverable
Advances and Realized Losses were computed and allocated pursuant to clauses (a)
and (b) above, and amounts are recovered:
(i) the portion of the amount of collections recovered on the Mortgage
Loan that is identified and applied by the applicable Master Servicer as
recoveries of principal shall be applied first, to make payments of
principal on the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest up to an amount
equal to the Realized Principal Losses previously allocated thereto as a
result of the reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances or Advance Interest
(and the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and the related Certificate
Balance of the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest shall be
correspondingly increased), and thereafter to make payments of principal to
the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interests with respect to which principal
distributions were reduced pursuant to Section 6.6(b)(i) above, in
proportion to the amount of such reductions; and
(ii) the portion of the amount recovered on the Mortgage Loan that is
identified and applied by the applicable Master Servicer as recoveries of
interest shall be applied to make payments of Unpaid Interest on the REMIC I
Regular Interests with respect to which Unpaid Interest was allocated
pursuant to Section 6.6(b)(ii).
(d) REMIC II. On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and
Expense Losses on the REMIC I Regular Interests for such Distribution Date (or
for prior Distribution Dates, to the extent not previously allocated) shall be
allocated to the REMIC II Regular Interests in the amounts and in the manner as
will be allocated to the Corresponding Certificates relating thereto pursuant to
Section 6.6(f). Realized Interest Losses allocated to the Class X Certificates
shall reduce the amount of interest payable on the REMIC II Regular Interests
and shall be allocated pro rata based on the product of the Certificate Balance
of each REMIC II Regular Interest and the Class X Strip Rate (if any) applicable
to the Corresponding Component relating to such REMIC II Regular Interest.
(e) [Reserved]
(f) REMIC III. On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and
Expense Losses on the REMIC II Regular Interests for such Distribution Date (or
for prior Distribution Dates, to the extent not previously allocated) shall be
allocated to the REMIC Regular Certificates in Reverse Sequential Order, with
such reductions being allocated among the Class A-1, Class A-1A, Class A-2,
Class A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates and, in the case of interest, Class X and
Class X-Y Certificates, pro rata (treating principal and interest losses
separately), in each case reducing (A) the Certificate Balance of such Class
(excluding the Class X and the Class X-Y Certificates) until such Certificate
Balance is reduced to zero; (B) Unpaid Interest owing to such Class to the
extent thereof; and (C) Distributable Certificate Interest owing to such Class,
provided that Realized Losses and Expense Losses shall not reduce the Aggregate
Certificate Balance of the REMIC Regular Certificates below the sum of the
Aggregate Certificate Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interests.
Section 6.7 Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls
On each Distribution Date, any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls in the Mortgage Loans in REMIC I (other than any Specially Designated
Co-op Mortgage Loan) shall be allocated among the REMIC I Regular Interests, pro
rata in proportion to the Accrued Certificate Interest for each such REMIC I
Regular Interest for such Distribution Date (without taking into account any
Class X-Y Interest Amount) and shall reduce Distributable Certificate Interest
for each such Interest. On each Distribution Date, any such Net Aggregate
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in the REMIC I Regular Interests held by REMIC II
shall be allocated among the REMIC II Regular Interests (other than REMIC II
Regular Interest X-Y), pro rata in proportion to the Accrued Certificate
Interest for each such REMIC II Regular Interest for such Distribution Date
(without taking into account any Class X-Y Interest Amount) and shall reduce
Distributable Certificate Interest for each such Interest. On each Distribution
Date, the amount of any such Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the
REMIC Regular Certificates shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates
(other than the Class X-Y Certificates), pro rata, in proportion to the amount
of Accrued Certificate Interest payable to such Class of Certificates on such
Distribution Date (without taking into account any Class X-Y Interest Amount),
in each case reducing interest otherwise payable thereon. The amount of Net
Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to a Class of Certificates
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall reduce the Distributable Certificate
Interest for such Class for such Distribution Date (without taking into account
any Accrued Certificate Interest payable to the Holders of the Class X-Y
Certificates on such Distribution Date.) On each Distribution Date, any Net
Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in respect of any Specially Designated
Co-op Mortgage Loan shall be allocated among the REMIC I Regular Interests, pro
rata in proportion to the Accrued Certificate Interest for each such REMIC I
Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and shall reduce Distributable
Certificate Interest for each such Interest. On each Distribution Date, any such
Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in the REMIC I Regular Interests
held by REMIC II shall be allocated among the REMIC II Regular Interests, pro
rata in proportion to the Accrued Certificate Interest for each such REMIC II
Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and shall reduce Distributable
Certificate Interest for each such Interest. On each Distribution Date, the
amount of any such Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the REMIC
Regular Certificates shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates, pro rata,
in proportion to the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest payable to such
Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date, in each case reducing interest
otherwise payable thereon. The amount of Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls allocated to a Class of Certificates pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall reduce the Distributable Certificate Interest for such Class for
such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, any such Net Aggregate
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in the REMIC I Regular Interests held by REMIC II
shall be allocated among the REMIC II Regular Interests, pro rata in proportion
to the Accrued Certificate Interest for each such REMIC II Regular Interest for
such Distribution Date and shall reduce Distributable Certificate Interest for
each such REMIC II Regular Interest. On each Distribution Date, any such Net
Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in the REMIC Regular Certificates shall
be allocated among the REMIC Regular Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the
Accrued Certificate Interest for each Class of REMIC Regular Certificates for
such Distribution Date and shall reduce Distributable Certificate Interest for
each Class of REMIC Regular Certificates. No portion of any Net Aggregate
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for any Distribution Date that is attributable to
a Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Designated Co-op Mortgage Loan shall be
allocable to or reduce interest distributions on the Class X-Y Certificates.
Section 6.8 Adjustment of Servicing Fees
The Master Servicing Fee payable to each Master Servicer shall be
adjusted as provided in Section 8.10(c) herein. Any amount retained by REMIC I
as a result of a reduction of the Master Servicing Fee shall be treated as
interest collected with respect to the prepaid Mortgage Loans with respect to
which the Master Servicing Fee adjustment occurs.
Section 6.9 Appraisal Reductions
Not later than the date on which an Appraisal Event occurs, the
applicable Special Servicer shall have obtained (A) an Appraisal of the
Mortgaged Property securing the related Mortgage Loan if the Principal Balance
of such Mortgage Loan exceeds $2,000,000 or (B) at the option of the applicable
Special Servicer, if such Principal Balance is less than or equal to $2,000,000,
either an internal valuation prepared by such Special Servicer in accordance
with MAI standards (which internal valuation shall ascribe a value for any
residential cooperative property based on the value of such property as if
operated as a residential cooperative) or an Appraisal which in all cases shall
be completed as of the date that such Mortgage Loan becomes a Required Appraisal
Loan; provided that if the Special Servicer had completed or obtained an
Appraisal or internal valuation within the immediately prior 12 months, such
Special Servicer may rely on such Appraisal or internal valuation and shall have
no duty to prepare a new Appraisal or internal valuation, unless such reliance
would not be in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, further, that
if the Special Servicer is required to obtain an Appraisal of a Mortgaged
Property or prepare an internal valuation after receipt of the notice described
in clause (ii) of the definition of Appraisal Event, such Appraisal or internal
valuation will be obtained or prepared, as the case may be, no later than 60
days after receipt of such notice. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is
cross-collateralized with any other Mortgage Loan, the Appraisal or internal
valuation need only be performed with respect to Mortgaged Properties that
constitute the principal security for the individual Mortgage Loan to which an
Appraisal Event occurs, and not with respect to all of the Mortgaged Properties
that constitute security for the individual Mortgage Loan in the
cross-collateralized group. Such Appraisal or valuation shall be conducted in
accordance with the definition of "market value" as set forth in 12 C.F.R. ss.
225.62 and shall be updated at least annually from the date of such Appraisal or
valuation, as applicable, to the extent such Mortgage Loan remains a Required
Appraisal Loan. The cost of any such Appraisal or valuation, if not performed by
the applicable Special Servicer, shall be an expense of the Trust and may be
paid from REO Income or, to the extent collections from such related Mortgage
Loan or Mortgaged Property does not cover the expense, such unpaid expense shall
be, subject to Section 4.4 hereof, advanced by the applicable Master Servicer at
the request of such Special Servicer pursuant to Section 4.6 in which event it
shall be treated as a Servicing Advance. The applicable Special Servicer shall
calculate any Appraisal Reduction. The applicable Master Servicer shall
recalculate the Appraisal Reduction for any Mortgage Loan based on the original
Appraisal or updated Appraisals or internal valuations provided from time to
time to it by the applicable Special Servicer and report such amount to the
Trustee. The applicable Special Servicer shall provide notice of any Appraisal
Event with respect to a Mortgage Loan to the applicable Master Servicer and the
Operating Adviser on the day of determination of such Appraisal Event.
Section 6.10 Compliance with Withholding Requirements
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
the Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect
to payments to Certificateholders of interest, original issue discount, or other
amounts that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code,
giving effect to all applicable exemptions from withholding as to which the
recipient has furnished the applicable and effective certification or other
documentation. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for any
such withholding and any amount so withheld shall be regarded as distributed to
the related Certificateholders for purposes of this Agreement. In the event the
Trustee withholds any amount from payments made to any Certificateholder
pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate to such
Certificateholder the amount withheld.
Section 6.11 Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges
On any Distribution Date prior to and including the Distribution Date
on which the Certificate Balance of the Class A Senior Certificates has been
reduced to zero, Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges collected with
respect to a Mortgage Loan in a particular Loan Group during any particular
Collection Period will be distributed by the Trustee on the Classes of
Certificates as follows: (i) first, the Trustee shall be deemed to distribute to
itself, as holder of the Group PB REMIC I Regular Interest to which such
Mortgage Loan relates, any Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges
collected on or with respect to such Mortgage Loan in that Loan Group on that
Distribution Date; and (ii) second, the Trustee shall be deemed to distribute to
itself, as holder of the REMIC II Regular Interests, any Prepayment Premiums or
Yield Maintenance Charges deemed distributed to the REMIC I Regular Interests,
and shall be deemed to distribute such Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance
Charges to the REMIC II Regular Interest then entitled to distributions of
principal from the Principal Distribution Amount (or, if more than one Class of
REMIC II Regular Interests is then entitled to distributions of principal from
the Principal Distribution Amount, such Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance
Charges shall be deemed distributed among such Classes pro rata in accordance
with the relevant amounts of entitlements to distributions of principal).
Following such deemed distributions, in respect of Prepayment Premium
or Yield Maintenance Charges on each Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1, the Holders
of the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the
Class A-1A, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class O and Class P
Certificates) then entitled to distributions of principal from the Principal
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, will be entitled to, and the
Trustee will pay to such Holder(s), an amount equal to, in the case of each such
Class, the product of (a) a fraction, which in no event may be greater than 1.0
or less than 0.0, the numerator of which is the amount distributed as principal
to the Holders of all Classes of Certificates, except the Class A-1A
Certificates, on that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the
total amount distributed as principal to the Holders of all Classes of Principal
Balance Certificates on that Distribution Date, (b) the Base Interest Fraction
for the related Principal Prepayment and that Class of Certificates and (c) the
amount of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges collected in respect
of such Principal Prepayment during the related Collection Period. Following the
deemed distributions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 6.11,
Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges collected in respect of each
Mortgage Loan included in Loan Group 2 during the related Collection Period will
be distributed by the Trustee as follows: to the Holders of the Class A-1A
Certificates then entitled to distributions of principal on such Distribution
Date, an amount equal to the product of (a) a fraction, which in no event may be
greater than 1.0 or less than 0.0, the numerator of which is the amount
distributed as principal to the Holders of that Class on that Distribution Date,
and the denominator of which is the total amount distributed as principal to the
Holders of the Class A-1A Certificates, (b) the Base Interest Fraction for the
related Principal Prepayment and that Class and (c) the amount of the Prepayment
Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge collected in respect of such Principal
Prepayment during the related Collection Period.
If there is more than one such Class of Principal Balance Certificates
entitled to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date, the aggregate
amount described in the preceding sentence will be allocated among such Classes
on a pro rata basis in accordance with the relative amounts of entitlement to
such distributions of principal. Any portion of such Prepayment Premium or Yield
Maintenance Charge that is not so distributed to the Holders of such Principal
Balance Certificates will be distributed to the Holders of the Class X
Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Yield Maintenance Charges collected
during any Collection Period with respect to any Specially Designated Co-op
Mortgage Loan will be distributed, on a pro rata basis, to the REMIC Regular
Certificates as follows: (a) if the amount of such Yield Maintenance Charges
exceeds any applicable Yield Maintenance Minimum Amount, (x) the amount of such
Yield Maintenance Charges that would have been payable with respect to such
Specially Designated Co-op Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgage Rate was equal
to the related REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate with respect to such Mortgage Loan
(calculated without regard to any Yield Maintenance Minimum Amount) will be
distributed as set forth above, and (y) the amount of such Yield Maintenance
Charges actually payable during such Collection Period in excess of the amount
to be distributed pursuant to clause (x) will be distributed to the Holders of
the Class X-Y Certificates; (b) if the amount of such Yield Maintenance Charges
equals any applicable Yield Maintenance Minimum Amount, such Yield Maintenance
Charges shall be distributed as follows: (x) 50% to the Holders of the Class
A-1, Class A-1A, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B,
Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class X Certificates,
allocable among such Classes as set forth in the paragraphs above, and (y) 50%
to the Holders of the Class X-Y Certificates; and (c) notwithstanding the
foregoing, Prepayment Premiums collected during any Collection Period with
respect to any Specially Designated Co-op Mortgage Loan shall be distributed as
follows: (a) 50% to the Holders of the Class A-1, Class A-1A, Class A-2, Class
A-3, Class A-4, Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class
F, Class G, Class H and Class X Certificates, allocable among such Classes as
set forth in the paragraph above, and (b) 50% to the Holders of the Class X-Y
Certificates.

liability for their own negligent action, their own negligent failure to act or
their own willful misconduct or bad faith; provided that:

the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it;
(iii) none of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or any of their respective
partners, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, directors,
officers, employees, agents or Controlling Persons shall be responsible for

including, without limitation, in connection with actions taken pursuant to

Section 7.5 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee and the Paying
Agent
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be (i) an institution insured
by the FDIC, (ii) a corporation, national bank or national banking association
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America and
any state thereof, authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, having a

than "A-1" (without regard to plus or minus) by S&P and "F-1" by Fitch and whose

Fitch and "A+" by S&P. If such corporation, national bank or national banking
association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then,
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation, national bank or national banking association shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.6.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee meets the provisions of this
Section 7.5, but does not meet the provisions of (iii) above, the Trustee shall
be deemed to meet the provisions of (iii) if it appoints a fiscal agent as a
back-up liquidity provider; provided that such fiscal agent shall meet the
requirements of Section 7.5(iii) above and Section 7.18 herein.
The Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or otherwise
authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers and shall be rated at
least "A" by S&P and Fitch, unless and to the extent Rating Agency Confirmation
is obtained.
Section 7.6 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee or the Paying Agent
(a) The Trustee or the Paying Agent may at any time resign and be
discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to
the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and the Rating
Agencies; provided that such resignation shall not be effective until its
successor shall have accepted the appointment. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Depositor will promptly appoint a successor trustee or paying
agent, as the case may be. If no successor trustee or paying agent shall have
been so appointed, as the case may be, and shall have accepted appointment
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or paying
agent, as the case may be. It shall be a condition to the appointment of a
successor trustee that such entity satisfies the eligibility requirements set
forth in Section 7.5.
(b) If at any time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii) a tax is
imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust or any REMIC Pool by any state
in which the Trustee or the Trust held by the Trustee is located solely because
of the location of the Trustee in such state; provided, however, that, if the
Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust for such taxes, it shall not be removed
pursuant to this clause (iii), (iv) the continuation of the Trustee as such
would result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the rating by the
Rating Agencies of any Class of Certificates with a rating as evidenced in
writing by the Rating Agencies or (v) if the Trustee fails to perform (or acts
with negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in performing) any of its
obligations set forth in Article XIII (other than the failure to file any
Exchange Act report due to the non-receipt or the untimely receipt of the
Exchange Act reportable information from the Depositor, the applicable Master
Servicer (or any Additional Servicer, Sub-Servicer or subcontractor engaged
thereby) or applicable Special Servicer (or any Additional Servicer,
Sub-Servicer or subcontractor engaged thereby)), then the Depositor shall (in
the case of clauses (i) through (iv) above) and may (in the case of clause (v)
above) send a written notice of termination to the Trustee (which notice shall
specify the reason for such termination) and remove such Trustee and the
Depositor shall appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed, one copy to the
successor Trustee, and one copy to each of the Master Servicers and the Rating
Agencies. Such succession shall take effect after a successor trustee has been
appointed and has accepted such appointment. In the case of the removal of the
initial Trustee, the Depositor shall also remove the Paying Agent.
(c) If at any time (i) the Paying Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Paying Agent shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
of the Paying Agent or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Paying Agent or of its property or affairs
for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii) a tax is
imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust or any REMIC Pool by any state
in which the Paying Agent is located solely because of the location of the
Paying Agent in such state; provided, however, that, if the Paying Agent agrees
to indemnify the Trust for such taxes, it shall not be removed pursuant to this
clause (iii), (iv) the continuation of the Paying Agent as such would result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal, as applicable, of the rating by any
Rating Agency of any Class of Certificates with a rating as evidenced in writing
by any Rating Agency, (v) if the Paying Agent shall fail (other than by reason
of a Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's failure to timely perform its
obligations hereunder), to timely publish any report to be delivered, published
or otherwise made available by the Paying Agent pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5
and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of five days, (vi) if
the Paying Agent should fail to make distributions required pursuant to Section
5.3, Section 10.1 or Article VI or (vii) if the Paying Agent fails to perform
(or acts with negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in performing) any of
its obligations set forth in Article XIII, then the Depositor or the Trustee
shall shall (in the case of clauses (i) through (vi) above) and may (in the case
of clauses (v) through (vii) above) send a written notice of termination to the
Paying Agent (which notice shall specify the reason for such termination) and
remove such Paying Agent and the Depositor shall appoint a successor Paying
Agent by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to
the Paying Agent so removed, one copy to the successor Paying Agent, and one
copy to each of the Trustee, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and the
Rating Agencies.
(d) The Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance
of the Certificates then outstanding may, without cause, at any time upon
written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, and to
the Depositor remove the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, by
such written instrument, signed by such Holders or their attorney-in-fact duly
authorized, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor and
one copy to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, so removed; the
Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor Trustee or
the Paying Agent, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section.
(e) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as
the case may be, and appointment of a successor trustee or paying agent pursuant
to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance
of appointment by the successor trustee or paying agent, as the case may be, as
provided in Section 7.7. Upon any succession of the Trustee or the Paying Agent
under this Agreement, the predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may
be, shall be entitled to the payment of compensation and reimbursement agreed to
under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses incurred. The Trustee or
the Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action or omission of any successor
Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be.
Section 7.7 Successor Trustee or Paying Agent
(a) Any successor Trustee or Paying Agent appointed as provided in
Section 7.6 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its
predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall become effective
and such successor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights,
powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as
if originally named as Trustee or Paying Agent herein, as the case may be. The
predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent shall deliver (at such predecessor's own
expense) to the successor Trustee or Paying Agent all Mortgage Files and
documents and statements related to the Mortgage Files held by it hereunder, and
the predecessor Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over (at
such predecessor's own expense) to the successor Trustee, the entire Trust,
together with all instruments of transfer and assignment or other documents
properly executed necessary to effect such transfer. The predecessor Trustee or
Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall also deliver all records or copies
thereof maintained by the predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent in the
administration hereof as may be reasonably requested by the successor Trustee or
Paying Agent, as applicable, and shall thereupon be discharged from all duties
and responsibilities under this Agreement. In addition, the Depositor and the
predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent shall execute and deliver such other
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully
and certainly vest and confirm in the successor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the
case may be, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the combined fees payable to a
successor Trustee exceed the Trustee Fee.
(b) No successor Trustee or Paying Agent shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section unless at the time of such appointment such successor
Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 7.5.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Paying
Agent as provided in this Section, the successor Trustee or Paying Agent shall
mail notice of the succession of such Trustee or Paying Agent hereunder to all
Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register
and to the Rating Agencies. The expenses of such mailing shall be borne by the
successor Trustee or Paying Agent. If the successor Trustee or Paying Agent
fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee or Paying Agent, the Master Servicer shall cause such notice
to be mailed at the expense of the successor Trustee or Paying Agent, as
applicable.
(d) Any and all costs and expenses associated with transferring the
duties of a Trustee or Paying Agent that has resigned or been removed or
terminated, as contemplated by Section 7.6, to a successor Trustee or Paying
Agent, including those associated with transfer of the Mortgage Files and other
documents and statements held by the predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent to the
successor Trustee or Paying Agent, as contemplated by Section 7.6(a), shall be
paid by: (i) the predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent, if such predecessor
Trustee or Paying Agent has resigned in accordance with Section 7.6(a) or has
been removed in accordance with Sections 7.6(b) or 7.6(c), as applicable; (ii)
the Certificateholders that effected the removal, if the predecessor Trustee or
Paying Agent has been removed without cause in accordance with Section 7.6(d);
and (iii) the Trust, if such costs and expenses are not paid by the predecessor
Trustee or Paying Agent or the subject Certificateholders, as contemplated by
the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), within 90 days after they are
incurred (provided that such predecessor Trustee or predecessor Paying Agent or
such subject Certificateholders, as applicable, shall remain liable to the Trust
for such costs and expenses).
Section 7.8 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Paying Agent
Any Person into which the Trustee or Paying Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Trustee or Paying Agent shall
be a party, or any Persons succeeding to the business of such Trustee or Paying
Agent, shall be the successor of such Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may
be, hereunder, as applicable, provided that such Person shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 7.5, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent
may remain the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, under this
Agreement after (x) being merged or consolidated with or into any Person that is
a Prohibited Party, or (y) transferring all or substantially all of its assets
to any Person if such Person is a Prohibited Party, except to the extent (i) the
Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, is the surviving entity of such
merger, consolidation or transfer or (ii) the Depositor consents to such merger,
consolidation or transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 7.9 Appointment of Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee, Agents or
Custodian
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, the
Trustee, the Depositor or, in the case of the Trust, the Certificateholders
evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the
Certificates then outstanding shall each have the power from time to time to
appoint one or more Persons to act either as co-trustees jointly with the
Trustee or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding
title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage
Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal place of business
where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the
Trustee is advised by any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer that such
separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any
state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose
of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in
any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any
state in which any portion of the Trust is located. The separate trustees, co
trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the
benefit of all the Certificateholders, shall have such powers, rights and
remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment and shall be
deemed to have accepted the provisions of this Agreement; provided that no such
appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of
the Trustee; provided, further, that the Trustee shall be liable for the actions
of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed by it and shall have no
liability for the actions of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed by the
Depositor or the Certificateholders pursuant to this paragraph.
(b) The Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, may from time
to time appoint one or more independent third-party agents to perform all or any
portion of its administrative duties hereunder (i.e., collection and
distribution of funds, preparation and dissemination of reports, monitoring
compliance, etc.). The Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall
supervise and oversee such agents appointed by it. The terms of any arrangement
or agreement between the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, and
such agent, may be terminated, without cause and without the payment of any
termination fees in the event the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may
be, is terminated in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, neither the
Trust nor the Certificateholders shall have any liability or direct obligation
to such agent. Notwithstanding the terms of any such agreement, the Trustee or
the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall remain at all times obligated and
liable to the Trust and the Certificateholders for performing its duties
hereunder.
(c) Every separate trustee, co-trustee, and custodian shall, to the

Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be
exercised solely by the Trustee;

imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee
hereunder or as successor to a Master Servicer hereunder) the Trustee shall
be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations, including the holding of title
to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction, shall be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian;
(iii) no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or custodian hereunder;
and
(iv) the Trustee or, in the case of the Trust, the Certificateholders
evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount of the
Certificates then outstanding may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it or
them, if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of
this Agreement.
(d) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article VII. Each separate trustee and co trustee, upon its
acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property
specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or
separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this
Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to
the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the
Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
(e) Any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate
trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall die, become incapable of acting, resign
or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall
vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without
the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
(f) No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
7.5 hereof and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required.
(g) The Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the
extent necessary to fulfill the Trustee's obligations hereunder.
(h) The Trustee shall pay the reasonable compensation of the
co-trustees, separate trustees or custodians appointed by the Trustee pursuant
to this Section 7.9 to the extent, and in accordance with the standards,
specified in Section 7.12 hereof.
(i) Subject to the consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the Trustee, at its sole cost and expense, may appoint at
any time a successor Custodian. Until such time as the Trustee appoints a
successor Custodian, the Trustee shall be the Custodian hereunder. Upon the
appointment of a successor custodian, the Trustee and the Custodian shall enter
into a custodial agreement.
Section 7.10 Authenticating Agents
(a) The Trustee shall serve as the initial Authenticating Agent
hereunder for the purpose of executing and authenticating Certificates. Any
successor Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Depositor and must be a
corporation or national bank organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America or of any state and having a principal office and place
of business in the Borough of Manhattan in the City and State of New York,
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, authorized under
such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities.
(b) Any Person into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of the
Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.
(c) The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least
30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor.
The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of the Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent and the
Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or
in case at any time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10(a), the Trustee may appoint a
successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to
the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent. No such Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of Section 7.10(a). No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.
Section 7.11 Indemnification of the Trustee and the Paying Agent
(a) The Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent (in each
case, whether in its individual capacity or in its capacity as Trustee,
Certificate Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be) and each of its
respective partners, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, directors,
officers, employees, agents and Controlling Persons shall be entitled to
indemnification from the Trust for any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs,
liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any legal action
incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their respective part,
arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans, the
Certificates and the acceptance or administration of the trusts or duties
created hereunder (including, without limitation, any unanticipated loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with any action or inaction of any
Master Servicer, any Special Servicer or the Depositor or of each other such
Person hereunder but only to the extent the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar
or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is unable to recover within a
reasonable period of time such amount from such third party pursuant to this
Agreement) including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any
claim in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or
duties hereunder and the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Paying Agent
(in each case, whether in its individual capacity or in its capacity as Trustee,
Certificate Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be) and each of their
respective partners, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, directors,
officers, employees, agents and Controlling Persons shall be entitled to
indemnification from the Trust for any unanticipated loss, liability or expense
incurred in connection with the provision by the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar and the Paying Agent of the reports required to be provided by it
pursuant to this Agreement; provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall have given the
Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the Sellers, each other and the
Holders of the Certificates written notice thereof promptly after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying
Agent, as the case may be, shall have knowledge thereof; provided, however,
that failure to give such notice to the Depositor, such Master Servicer, the
Sellers, each other and the Holders of Certificates shall not affect the
Trustee's, Certificate Registrar's or Paying Agent's, as the case may be,
rights to indemnification herein unless the Depositor's defense of such
claim on behalf of the Trust is materially prejudiced thereby;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall
cooperate and consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense
unless the Depositor or any affiliate thereof is an adverse party to the
Trustee in such legal proceeding; and
(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.11,
the Trust shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) The provisions of this Section 7.11 shall survive any termination
of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.
(c) The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, their respective
partners, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, directors, officers,
employees, agents and Controlling Persons from and against any loss, claim,
damage or liability, joint or several, and any action in respect thereof, to
which the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case
may be, their respective partners, representatives, Affiliates, members,
managers, directors, officers, employees, agents or Controlling Person may
become subject under the 1933 Act, insofar as such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of, or is based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Private Placement
Memorandum, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Final Prospectus
Supplement or the Prospectus, or arises out of, or is based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading and shall reimburse the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, their respective
partners, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, directors, officers,
employees, agents or Controlling Person for any legal and other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying
Agent, as the case may be, or any such partners, representatives, Affiliates,
members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents or Controlling Person
in investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided that the Depositor shall not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in any such Private Placement
Memorandum, Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, Final Prospectus Supplement or
Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
concerning the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the
case may be, furnished to the Depositor by or on behalf of such Person
specifically for inclusion therein. It is hereby expressly agreed that the only
written information provided by the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the
Paying Agent, as the case may be, for inclusion in the Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement and Final Prospectus Supplement is set forth, with respect to the
Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, under the headings "SUMMARY OF FREE WRITING
PROSPECTUS--Relevant Parties and Dates--Trustee" (only with respect to the first
sentence thereunder), "SUMMARY OF FREE WRITING PROSPECTUS--Relevant Parties and
Dates--Paying Agent" (only with respect to the first sentence thereunder),
"TRANSACTION PARTIES--The Trustee and Custodian" (with respect to the first four
paragraphs and the sixth paragraph) and "TRANSACTION PARTIES--The Paying Agent,
Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent" (only with respect to the first
through ninth paragraphs thereunder), and with respect to the Final Prospectus
Supplement (including the Final Prospectus Supplement as included as Exhibit A
to the Private Placement Memorandum), the information contained therein under
the headings "SUMMARY OF PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT--Relevant Parties and
Dates--Trustee" (only with respect to the first sentence thereunder), "SUMMARY
OF PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT--Relevant Parties and Dates--Paying Agent" (only with
respect to the first sentence thereunder), "TRANSACTION PARTIES--The Trustee and
Custodian" (with respect to the first four paragraphs and the sixth paragraph)
and "TRANSACTION PARTIES--The Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and
Authenticating Agent") (only with respect to the first through ninth paragraphs
thereunder). The Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the
case may be, shall immediately notify the Depositor and the Sellers if a claim
is made by a third party with respect to this Section 7.11(c) entitling such
Person, its partners, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, directors,
officers, employees, agents or Controlling Person to indemnification hereunder,
whereupon the Depositor shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Person) and pay all expenses in connection
therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any
judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such
claim. Any failure to so notify the Depositor shall not affect any rights the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
their respective partners, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers,
directors, officers, employees, agents or Controlling Person may have to
indemnification under this Section 7.11(c), unless the Depositor's defense of
such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal
of the Trustee or the Paying Agent. The Depositor shall not be indemnified by
the Trust for any expenses incurred by the Depositor arising from any violation
or alleged violation of the 1933 Act or 1934 Act by the Depositor.
(d) The 2007-HQ11 Trustee and the 2007-HQ11 Paying Agent and any
partner, representative, Affiliate, member, manager, director, officer, employee
or agent of the 2007-HQ11 Trustee and the 2007-HQ11 Paying Agent shall be
indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against (i) the Trust's pro rata
share of any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees
and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses
incurred in connection with any legal action relating to the 2007-HQ11 Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and relating to the
Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan (but excluding any such losses allocable to
the Non-Trust Serviced Companion Loan), reasonably requiring the use of counsel
or the incurring of expenses other than any losses incurred by reason of the
2007-HQ11 Trustee's or the 2007-HQ11 Paying Agent's willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence, as the case may be, in the performance of its duties under
the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) any claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any
other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses relating to the Non-Trust-Serviced
Pari Passu Loan, but only to the extent that such losses arise out of the
actions of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers or the Trustee, and only
to the extent that such actions are in violation of the such party's duties
under the provisions of this Agreement and to the extent that such actions are
the result of such party's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
Section 7.12 Fees and Expenses of Trustee and the Paying Agent
The Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Trustee Fee, pursuant to
Section 5.3(b)(ii) (which shall not be limited by any provision of law with
respect to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), for all services
rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise
and performance of any of the powers and duties respectively, hereunder of the
Trustee and the Paying Agent. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall also be
entitled to recover from the Trust all reasonable unanticipated expenses and
disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee and the Paying Agent in accordance
with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable
compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its counsel and
other Persons not regularly in its employ), not including expenses incurred in
the ordinary course of performing its duties as Trustee or Paying Agent,
respectively, hereunder, and except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may arise from the negligence or bad faith of such Person or which is the
responsibility of the Holders of the Certificates hereunder. The provisions of
this Section 7.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Paying Agent.
Section 7.13 Collection of Moneys
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Trustee
and the Paying Agent may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and
collect, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee or
the Paying Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee or
the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall hold all such money and property
received by it as part of the Trust and shall distribute it as provided in this
Agreement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall not
have timely received amounts to be remitted with respect to the Mortgage Loans
from the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the
case may be, shall request that the applicable Master Servicer make such
distribution as promptly as practicable or legally permitted. If the Trustee or
the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall subsequently receive any such
amount, it may withdraw such request.
Section 7.14 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor
(a) On and after the time a Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to
this Agreement in accordance with Sections 8.28 and 8.29, the Trustee shall be
the successor in all respects to such Master Servicer in its capacity under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein and shall have
all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on such Master
Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided that, any
failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by such Master
Servicer's failure to provide required information shall not be considered a
default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall have no
liability relating to (i) the representations and warranties of such Master
Servicer contained in this Agreement or (ii) any obligation incurred by such
Master Servicer prior to its termination or resignation (including, without
limitation, such Master Servicer's obligation to repay losses resulting from the
investment of funds in any account established under this Agreement), except any
ongoing obligations to the Primary Servicers arising after the termination of
such Master Servicer from their servicing rights and obligations under the
applicable Primary Servicing Agreement. In the Trustee's capacity as such
successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability granted to
such Master Servicer in this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive all the compensation payable to such Master
Servicer set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Master
Servicing Fee.
(b) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee (A) may, if the Trustee is
unwilling to so act, or (B) shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established commercial
or multifamily mortgage finance institution, servicer or special servicer or
mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000,
meeting such other standards for a successor servicer as are set forth in this
Agreement and with respect to which Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, as
the successor to such terminated Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of
all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a servicer as the
applicable Master Servicer hereunder and under the applicable Primary Servicing
Agreement. Pending any such appointment, the Trustee shall act in such capacity
as hereinabove provided. Any entity designated by the Trustee as successor
Master Servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided that such Affiliate
must meet the standards for the Master Servicer as set forth herein. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage
Loans as it and such successor shall agree subject to Section 8.10. The Trustee
and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement as
shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The terminated Master
Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor servicer in
effecting the termination of such Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the
assignment of the servicing function and providing the Trustee and successor
servicer all documents and records in its possession in electronic or other form
reasonably requested by the successor servicer to enable the successor servicer
to assume such Master Servicer's functions hereunder and the transfer to the
Trustee or such successor servicer of all amounts which shall at the time be or
should have been deposited by such Master Servicer in the applicable Certificate
Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the
Certificates or thereafter be received by such Master Servicer with respect to
the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall
be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any
delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i)
the failure of the terminated Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in
delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by
any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Master Servicer. The
Trustee shall be reimbursed for all of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with obtaining such successor Master Servicer by the Trust within 30
days of the Trustee's submission of an invoice with respect thereto, to the
extent such expenses have not been reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer
as provided herein; such expenses paid by the Trust shall be deemed to be an
Additional Trust Expense.
(c) On and after the time a Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to
this Agreement, in accordance with Section 9.30, the Trustee shall be the
successor in all respects to such Special Servicer in its capacity under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein and shall,
subject to Section 9.21(d), have all the rights and powers and be subject to all
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising
thereafter placed on such Special Servicer by the terms and provisions of this
Agreement; provided that, any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities
caused by such Special Servicer's failure to provide required information shall
not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee
shall have no liability relating to (i) the representations and warranties of
such Special Servicer contained in this Agreement or (ii) any obligation
incurred by the Special Servicer prior to its termination or resignation. In the
Trustee's capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same
limitations on liability granted to such Special Servicer in this Agreement. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.21(d), be
entitled to receive all the compensation payable to such Special Servicer set
forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation the Special Servicer
Compensation.
(d) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if the Trustee shall be
unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established commercial or
multifamily mortgage finance institution, special servicer or mortgage servicing
institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, and meeting such
other standards for a successor Special Servicer as are set forth in Section
9.21, and with respect to which Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, as the
successor to the terminated Special Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all
of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a Special Servicer hereunder.
Pending any such appointment, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided. Any entity designated by the Trustee as successor Special
Servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided that such Affiliate must
meet the standards for a successor Special Servicer set forth herein. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor, subject to Section 9.21(d),
out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided
that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the terminated
Special Servicer under this Agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take
such actions, consistent with this Agreement as shall be necessary to effectuate
any such succession. The terminated Special Servicer shall cooperate with the
Trustee and any successor Special Servicer in effecting the termination of such
Special Servicer's responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans of
the assignment of the special servicing function and providing the Trustee and
successor Special Servicer all documents and records in its possession in
electronic or other form reasonably requested by the successor Special Servicer
to enable the successor Special Servicer to assume such Special Servicer's
functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor Special
Servicer of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited
by the terminated Special Servicer in the applicable Certificate Account and any
other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter
be received by such Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither
the Trustee nor any other successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to be in
default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any
distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the
terminated Special Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash,
documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over such Special Servicer. The Trustee shall be
reimbursed for all of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
obtaining such successor Special Servicer by the Trust within 30 days of
submission of an invoice with respect thereto but only to the extent such
expenses have not been reimbursed by the terminated Special Servicer as provided
herein; and such expenses paid by the Trust shall be deemed to be an Additional
Trust Expense.
Section 7.15 Notification to Holders
Upon termination of a Master Servicer, the Paying Agent or a Special
Servicer, or appointment of a successor to such Master Servicer, the Paying
Agent or such Special Servicer, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof
by first class mail to the Rating Agencies, the Operating Adviser, the Sellers
and the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the
Certificate Register.
Section 7.16 Representations and Warranties of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Paying Agent
(a) U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), in its capacity as
the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Paying Agent, hereby represents
and warrants as of the date hereof that:
(i) U.S. Bank is a national banking association, duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws governing its creation
and existence and has full power and authority to own its property, to carry
on its business as presently conducted, and to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement;
(ii) the execution and delivery by U.S. Bank of this Agreement have
been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of U.S. Bank;
neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation
of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, nor compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement, will conflict with or result in a breach of,
or constitute a default under, (i) any of the provisions of any law,
governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the
Trustee or its properties that would materially and adversely affect U.S.
Bank's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the
organizational documents of U.S. Bank, or (iii) the terms of any material
agreement or instrument to which U.S. Bank is a party or by which it is
bound; U.S. Bank is not in default with respect to any order or decree of
any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state,
municipal or other governmental agency, which default would materially and
adversely affect its performance under this Agreement;
(iii) the execution, delivery and performance by U.S. Bank of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement do not require the consent, approval, authorization or order of,
the giving of notice to or the registration with any state, federal or other
governmental authority or agency, except such as has been or will be
obtained, given, effected or taken in order for U.S. Bank to perform its
obligations under this Agreement;
(iv) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by U.S. Bank
and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties
hereto, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of U.S. Bank, enforceable
against U.S. Bank in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement
of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally as
from time to time in effect, and to general principles of equity (regardless
of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law); and
(v) no litigation is pending or, to U.S. Bank's knowledge, threatened,
against the Trustee that, either in one instance or in the aggregate, would
draw into question the validity of this Agreement, or which would be likely
to impair materially the ability of U.S. Bank to perform under the terms of
this Agreement.
Section 7.17 Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy
Maintained by the Trustee and the Paying Agent
Each of the Trustee and the Paying Agent, at its own respective
expense, shall maintain in effect a Fidelity Bond and a Errors and Omissions
Insurance Policy. The Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and Fidelity Bond
shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer in form and in amount customary for
trustees or paying agents in similar transactions (unless the Trustee or the
Paying Agent, as the case may be, self insures as provided below). In the event
that any such Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy or Fidelity Bond ceases to
be in effect, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall obtain
a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer meeting the
requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement. So long as the
long-term debt rating of the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is
not less than "A" as rated by S&P and Fitch, if rated by S&P and Fitch,
respectively, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, may
self-insure for the Fidelity Bond and the Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.
Section 7.18 Appointment of a Fiscal Agent
(a) In order to satisfy the eligibility requirements of Section 7.5
(insofar as such requirements relate to ratings), the Trustee may appoint a
fiscal agent (a "Fiscal Agent"). Any Fiscal Agent shall at all times maintain a
long-term unsecured debt rating of no less than "AA-" from Fitch (or "A+" from
Fitch, if such Fiscal Agent's short-term unsecured debt rating is at least "F-1"
by Fitch) and a long-term unsecured debt rating of no less than "AA-" from S&P
(or "A+" from S&P, if such Fiscal Agent's short-term unsecured debt rating is at
least "A-1" by S&P) (or, in the case of either Rating Agency, such other rating
as shall not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the rating by
the Rating Agencies of any Class of Certificates with a rating as evidenced in
writing by the Rating Agencies).
(b) To the extent that the Trustee is required, pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, to make any Advance, whether as successor master servicer or
otherwise, and has failed to do so in accordance with the terms hereof, any
Fiscal Agent appointed by the Trustee shall make such Advance as and when
required by the terms of this Agreement on behalf the Trustee as if such Fiscal
Agent were the Trustee hereunder. To the extent that a Fiscal Agent makes an
Advance pursuant to this Section 7.18(b) or otherwise pursuant to this
Agreement, the obligations of the Trustee under this Agreement in respect of
such Advance shall be satisfied.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, any Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to all limitations on liability,
rights of reimbursement and indemnities that the Trustee is entitled to
hereunder as if it were the Trustee, except that all fees and expenses of any
Fiscal Agent (other than any interest owed to such Fiscal Agent in respect of
unreimbursed Advances) incurred by such Fiscal Agent in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the Trustee, and
neither the Trustee nor such Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor from any of the Trust, the Depositor, the Master Servicers or the
Special Servicers.
(d) The obligations of a Fiscal Agent set forth in this Section 7.18 or
otherwise pursuant to this Agreement shall exist only for so long as the Trustee
that appointed it shall act as Trustee hereunder. A Fiscal Agent may resign or
be removed by the Trustee only if and when the existence of such Fiscal Agent is
no longer necessary for such Trustee to satisfy the eligibility requirements of
Section 7.5; provided that a Fiscal Agent shall be deemed to have resigned at
such time as the Trustee that appointed it resigns or is removed as Trustee
hereunder (in which case the responsibility for appointing a successor Fiscal
Agent shall belong to the successor Trustee, and which appointment the successor
Trustee shall use its best efforts to make, insofar as such appointment is
necessary for such successor Trustee to satisfy the eligibility requirements of
Section 7.5). Any successor fiscal agent so appointed shall be required to
execute and deliver to the other parties hereto a written agreement to assume
and perform the duties of a Fiscal Agent set forth in this Agreement; provided
that no such successor shall become Fiscal Agent hereunder unless either (i) it
satisfies the rating requirements of Section 7.18(a) or (ii) the Trustee shall
have received written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the succession
of such proposed successor fiscal agent would not, in and of itself, result in a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the rating by the Rating Agencies of
any Class of Certificates.
(e) The Trustee shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and the
Certificateholders in writing of the appointment, resignation or removal of any
Fiscal Agent.
ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 8.1 Servicing Standard; Servicing Duties
(a) Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement, for and on
behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders as a whole,
the Master Servicers shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement (subject
to the servicing of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan by the 2007-HQ11
Master Servicer and the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer in accordance with the
2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The General Master Servicer shall be
the Master Servicer with respect to all the Mortgage Loans (other than the NCB,
FSB Loans and the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan) and other assets in the
Trust (other than the NCB, FSB Trust Assets) and, as such, shall service and
administer such assets as shall be required of the Master Servicer hereunder
with respect to such Trust assets. The NCB Master Servicer shall be the Master
Servicer with respect to the NCB, FSB Trust Assets and, as such, shall service
and administer the NCB, FSB Trust Assets as shall be required of such Master
Servicer hereunder with respect to the NCB, FSB Trust Assets. With respect to
the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan, the General Master Servicer shall
enforce the rights of the Trustee, as holder of the Non-Trust Serviced Pari
Passu Loan, under the Co-Lender Agreement and the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and
Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that any expenses incurred by the
General Master Servicer in connection with such enforcement shall be a Servicing
Advance. Certain of the provisions of this Article VIII make explicit reference
to their non-applicability to Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan;
notwithstanding such explicit references, references to "Mortgage Loans" and
"Mortgaged Property" contained in this Article VIII, unless otherwise specified
to include the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan, the obligations of the Master
Servicers or Special Servicers pursuant to this Agreement, shall be construed to
exclude the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan and any related real property
(but any other terms that are defined in Article I and used in this Article VIII
shall be construed according to such definitions without regard to this
sentence).
Notwithstanding anything contained in Article IV or in this Article
VIII to the contrary, the General Master Servicers will not be required to make
any Servicing Advances with respect to the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan.
In connection with such servicing and administration, each Master
Servicer shall service in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided,
however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or
implied guarantee by the applicable Master Servicer of the collectibility of
payments on the Mortgage Loans or shall be construed as impairing or adversely
affecting any rights or benefits specifically provided by this Agreement to the
applicable Master Servicer, including with respect to Master Servicing Fees or
the right to be reimbursed for Advances.
(b) The applicable Master Servicer, in the case of an event specified
in clause (x) of this subclause (b), and the applicable Special Servicer, in the
case of an event specified in clause (y) of this subclause (b), shall each send
a written notice to the other and to the Trustee, the Operating Adviser and the
respective Seller within two Business Days after becoming aware (x) that a
Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with respect to a Mortgage Loan or (y)
that a Mortgage Loan has become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, which notice
shall identify the applicable Mortgage Loan and, in the case of an event
specified in clause (x) of this subclause (b) above, the Servicing Transfer
Event that occurred.
(c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is subject to an
Environmental Insurance Policy, for as long as it is not a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, if any of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special
Servicer or the applicable Primary Servicer has actual knowledge of any event
giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, such Person
shall notify the related Master Servicer, the related Special Servicer and the
related Primary Servicer, as applicable, to such effect and such Master Servicer
shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard
and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a
claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is
entitled thereunder. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in
accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any such claim shall
be paid by, and reimbursable to, the applicable Master Servicer or the
applicable Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
(d) In connection with any extension of the Maturity Date of a Mortgage
Loan that is the subject of an Environmental Insurance Policy, the applicable
Master Servicer shall give prompt written notice of such extension to the
insurer under the Environmental Insurance Policy and shall execute such
documents as are reasonably required by such insurer to procure an extension of
such policy (if available).
Section 8.2 Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy
Maintained by the Master Servicers
Each Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a
Servicer Fidelity Bond and a Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy. The
Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and Servicer Fidelity Bond shall
be issued by a Qualified Insurer (unless a Master Servicer self insures as
provided below) and be in form and amount consistent with the Servicing
Standard. In the event that any such Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy or Servicer Fidelity Bond ceases to be in effect, the applicable Master
Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or
issuer meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such
replacement. So long as the long term rating of a Master Servicer (or its
corporate parent) is not in any event less than "A" as rated by S&P and Fitch,
respectively, such Master Servicer may self insure for the Servicer Fidelity
Bond and the Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.
Section 8.3 Master Servicers' General Power and Duties
(a) Each Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans (other than the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan) it is required to
service hereunder and shall, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations
set forth in Sections 8.19, 8.27, 9.39, 14.1, 14.2 and Article XII hereof and as
otherwise provided herein and by the Code, have full power and authority to do
any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with
such servicing and administration in accordance with the Servicing Standard. In
addition, subject to Section 14.2 hereof, each Master Servicer, consistent with
the Servicing Standard, may waive (i) any default interest and Late Fees with
respect to its Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and
(ii) default interest on a Balloon Payment (but only with the consent of the
applicable Special Servicer); provided that, to the extent the applicable Master
Servicer waives any default interest and Late Fees, any outstanding Advance
Interest with respect to the related Mortgage Loan that would otherwise have
been paid out of such default interest and Late Fees shall be paid out of the
additional servicing compensation payable to such Master Servicer with respect
to that Mortgage Loan; and provided, further, that if no additional servicing
compensation is available to offset the outstanding Advance Interest with
respect to the Mortgage Loan that would otherwise be offset by the default
interest and Late Fees, then the applicable Master Servicer shall not waive such
default interest and Late Fees unless it is the first such waiver with respect
to the subject Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding the above, and subject to the restrictions set forth in
Section 14.2 hereof, the Master Servicers shall have no power to (i) waive any
Prepayment Premiums or (ii) consent to any modification of a Money Term. In
addition, subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicers shall not
accept any prepayment of principal with respect to any Mortgage Loan on any date
other than the related Due Date unless (i) such payment is accompanied by a
payment of the interest due with respect to such Mortgage Loan up to the next
succeeding Due Date, (ii) such prepayment does not result in the Trust incurring
a Prepayment Interest Shortfall or (iii) such prepayment is required to be
permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents on a date other than the
related Due Date. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of
the Master Servicers to lend money to (to the extent not secured, in whole or in
part, by any Mortgaged Property, except for a Co-op Mortgage Loan as to which
the NCB, FSB Subordinate Debt Conditions have been satisfied in which case a
subordinate loan may be secured by a mortgage lien on the related Mortgaged
Property), accept deposits from and otherwise generally engage in any kind of
business or dealings with any Mortgagor as though the Master Servicer were not a
party to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided,
however, that this sentence shall not modify the Servicing Standard.
(b) No Master Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans which have become and continue to be Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans, except as specifically provided herein. Such Master Servicer shall be
required to make all calculations and prepare all reports required hereunder
with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than calculations
and reports expressly required to be made by the applicable Special Servicer
hereunder) as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and shall continue to
collect all Scheduled Payments, make Servicing Advances as set forth herein,
make P&I Advances as set forth herein and render such incidental services with
respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, all as are specifically
provided for herein, but shall have no other servicing or other duties with
respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. Each Master Servicer shall
give notice within one Business Day to the applicable Special Servicer of any
collections it receives from any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, subject to
changes agreed upon from time to time by such Special Servicer and such Master
Servicer. Each Special Servicer shall instruct within one Business Day after
receiving such notice the applicable Master Servicer on how to apply such funds.
The applicable Master Servicer within one Business Day after receiving such
instructions shall apply such funds in accordance with the applicable Special
Servicer's instructions. Each Mortgage Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan shall continue as such until such Mortgage Loan becomes a
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan. No Master Servicer shall be required to initiate
extraordinary collection procedures or legal proceedings with respect to any
Mortgage Loan or to undertake any pre-foreclosure procedures.
(c) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall sign the Powers of Attorney attached hereto as Exhibit S-1A and Exhibit
S-1B. The Master Servicers, shall promptly notify the Trustee of the recording
of any document on behalf of the Trustee under such Power-of-Attorney. From time
to time until the termination of the Trust, upon receipt of additional
unexecuted powers of attorney from the Master Servicers or the Special
Servicers, the Trustee shall execute and return to any Master Servicer, any
Special Servicer or any Primary Servicer any additional powers of attorney and
other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Master Servicer and such
Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans including, without
limitation, documents relating to the management, operation, maintenance,
repair, leasing or marketing of the Mortgaged Properties. Each Master Servicer
shall indemnify the Trustee for any costs, liabilities and expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by the Trustee in connection with the intentional or
negligent misuse of such power of attorney by a Master Servicer. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Master Servicers nor the
Special Servicers shall, without the Trustee's written consent: (i) initiate any
action, suit or proceeding directly relating to the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans solely under the Trustee's name without indicating the Master Servicer's
or Special Servicer's, as applicable, representative capacity, (ii) initiate any
other action, suit or proceeding not directly relating to the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans (including but not limited to actions, suits or proceedings
against Certificateholders, or against the Depositor or the Sellers for breaches
of representations and warranties) solely under the Trustee's name, (iii) engage
counsel to represent the Trustee in any action, suit or proceeding not directly
related to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (including but not limited to
actions, suits or proceedings against Certificateholders, or against the
Depositor or the Sellers for breaches of representations and warranties, or (iv)
prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits,
registrations or other documents or take any other actions with the intent to
cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in
any state. The limitations of the preceding clause shall not be construed to
limit any duty or obligation imposed on the Trustee under any other provision of
this Agreement.
(d) Each Master Servicer shall make efforts consistent with the
Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the applicable Mortgage Loans
(other than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Properties and other than
the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan).
(e) Each Master Servicer (or any Primary Servicer on its behalf) shall
segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to any applicable
Mortgage Loan (other than the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan) constituting
Escrow Amounts separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets
and shall establish and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts
(each, an "Escrow Account") into which all Escrow Amounts shall be deposited
within one Business Day after receipt. Each Escrow Account shall be an Eligible
Account except with respect to Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule VII for
which Escrow Accounts shall be transferred to Eligible Accounts at the earliest
date permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents. Each Master Servicer
shall also deposit into each applicable Escrow Account any amounts representing
losses on Eligible Investments pursuant to the immediately succeeding paragraph
and any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds which are required to be
applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the
related Mortgage Loan. Each Escrow Account shall be maintained in accordance
with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the
Servicing Standard. Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made only:
(i) to effect timely payments of items constituting Escrow Amounts for
the related Mortgage Loan;
(ii) to transfer funds to the applicable Certificate Account (or any
sub-account thereof) to reimburse the applicable Master Servicer for any
Advance (or the Trust for any Unliquidated Advance) relating to Escrow
Amounts, but only from amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage
Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Amounts thereunder;
(iii) for application to the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan and the
Servicing Standard;
(iv) to clear and terminate such Escrow Account upon the termination of
this Agreement or pay-off of the related Mortgage Loan;
(v) to pay from time to time to the related Mortgagor any interest or
investment income earned on funds deposited in the applicable Escrow Account
if such income is required to be paid to the related Mortgagor under
applicable law or by the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or otherwise to the
applicable Master Servicer; and
(vi) to remove any funds deposited in a Escrow Account that were not
required to be deposited therein or to refund amounts to the Mortgagors
determined to be overages.
Subject to the immediately succeeding two sentences, (i) each Master
Servicer may direct any depository institution or trust company in which the
applicable Escrow Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein in
one or more Eligible Investments; provided, however, that such funds shall be
either (x) immediately available or (y) available in accordance with a schedule
which will permit such Master Servicer to meet the payment obligations for which
the applicable Escrow Account was established; (ii) each Master Servicer shall
be entitled to all income and gain realized from any such investment of funds as
additional servicing compensation; and (iii) each Master Servicer shall deposit
from its own funds in the applicable Escrow Account the amount of any loss
incurred in respect of any such investment of funds on or before the next Master
Servicer Remittance Date. The Master Servicers shall not direct the investment
of funds held in any Escrow Account and retain the income and gain realized
therefrom if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or applicable law permit the
Mortgagor to be entitled to the income and gain realized from the investment of
funds deposited therein, and the Master Servicers shall not be required to
invest amounts on deposit in applicable Escrow Accounts in Eligible Investments
or Eligible Accounts to the extent that the Master Servicers are required by
either law or under the terms of any related Mortgage Loan to deposit or invest
(or the Mortgagor is entitled to direct the deposit or investment of) such
amounts in another type of investments or accounts. In the event a Master
Servicer is not entitled to direct the investment of such funds, (1) such Master
Servicer shall direct the depository institution or trust company in which such
Escrow Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein in accordance
with the Mortgagor's written investment instructions, if the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan or applicable law require such Master Servicer to invest
such funds in accordance with the Mortgagor's directions; and (2) in the absence
of appropriate written instructions from the Mortgagor, the Master Servicers
shall have no obligation to, but may be entitled to, direct the investment of
such funds; provided, however, that in either event (i) such funds shall be
either (y) immediately available or (z) available in accordance with a schedule
which will permit the Master Servicers to meet the payment obligations for which
the applicable Escrow Account was established, and (ii) the Master Servicers
shall have no liability for any loss in investments of such funds that are
invested pursuant to written instructions from the Mortgagor.
(f) The relationship of each of the Master Servicers and the Special
Servicers to the Trustee and to each other under this Agreement is intended by
the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not of a joint venturer,
partner or agent.
(g) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, if required by the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan, any Lock-Box Agreement or similar agreement, the
applicable Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, one or more lock-box, cash management or similar accounts
("Lock-Box Accounts") to be held outside the Trust and maintained by such Master
Servicer in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage. No Lock-Box
Account is required to be an Eligible Account, unless otherwise required
pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents. The applicable Master Servicer
shall apply the funds deposited in such accounts in accordance with terms of the
related Mortgage Loan documents, any Lock-Box Agreement and in accordance with
the Servicing Standard.
(h) The applicable Master Servicer or any Primary Servicer on its
behalf shall process all defeasances of Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms of the Mortgage Loan documents, and shall be entitled to any fees paid
relating thereto. The applicable Master Servicer shall not permit defeasance (or
partial defeasance if permitted under the Mortgage Loan) of any Mortgage Loan on
or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date unless such defeasance will
not result in an Adverse REMIC Event and such Master Servicer has received an
opinion of counsel to such effect and all items in the following sentence have
been satisfied. Subsequent to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the
applicable Master Servicer, in connection with the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan
shall require (to the extent it is not inconsistent with the Servicing Standard)
that: (i) the defeasance collateral consists of "government securities" as
defined in the 1940 Act, subject to Rating Agency approval, (ii) such Master
Servicer has received evidence satisfactory to it, that the defeasance will not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (iii) either (A) the related Mortgagor
designates a Single-Purpose Entity (if the Mortgagor no longer complies) to own
the Defeasance Collateral (subject to customary qualifications) or (B) such
Master Servicer has established a Single-Purpose Entity to hold all Defeasance
Collateral relating to the Defeasance Loans (in its corporate capacity and not
as agent of or on behalf of the Trust or the Trustee), (iv) such Master Servicer
has requested and received from the Mortgagor (A) an opinion of counsel that the
Trustee will have a perfected, first priority security interest in such
Defeasance Collateral and (B) written confirmation from a firm of independent
accountants stating that payments made on such Defeasance Collateral in
accordance with the terms thereof will be sufficient to pay the subject Mortgage
Loan (or the defeased portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance)
in full on or before its Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on or
before its Anticipated Repayment Date) and to timely pay each subsequent
Scheduled Payment, (v) (A) such Master Servicer shall receive a Rating Agency
Confirmation if the Mortgage Loan (together with any other Mortgage Loan with
which it is cross-collateralized) has a Principal Balance greater than the
lesser of $20,000,000 and 5% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance (or such
higher threshold as shall be published by S&P), unless such Rating Agency has
waived in writing such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement or (B) if the
Mortgage Loan is less than or equal to both of the amounts set forth in clause
(A), either a Notice and Certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Z
(or such less restrictive form as shall be adopted by S&P) or a Rating Agency
Confirmation is received from S&P and (vi) a Rating Agency Confirmation is
received if the Mortgage Loan is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans, by
Principal Balance. Any customary and reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred
by the applicable Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.3(h) shall be paid
by the Mortgagor of the Defeasance Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage,
Mortgage Note or other pertinent document, if so allowed by the terms of such
documents.
The parties hereto acknowledge that, if a Seller shall have breached
the representation set forth under the heading "Releases of Mortgaged Property"
in Exhibit 2 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, regarding the obligations
of a Mortgagor to pay the costs of a tax opinion associated with the full or
partial release or substitution of collateral for a Mortgage Loan because the
related Mortgage Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor to pay
costs related thereto, to the extent an amount is due and not paid by the
Mortgagor, then the sole obligation of the related Seller shall be to pay for
such tax opinion. In addition, the parties hereto acknowledge that, if a Seller
shall have breached the representation set forth under the heading "Defeasance
and Assumption Costs" in Exhibit 2 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements,
regarding the obligation of a Mortgagor to pay the reasonable costs and expenses
associated with a defeasance or assumption of the related Mortgage Loan, because
the related Mortgage Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor to pay
costs related thereto, including, but not limited to, amounts owed to one or
both Rating Agencies, then the sole obligation of the related Seller shall be to
pay an amount equal to such insufficiency or expense to the extent the related
Mortgagor is not required to pay such amount. Promptly upon receipt of notice of
such insufficiency or unpaid expenses or costs, the applicable Master Servicer
shall request the related Seller to make such payment by deposit to the
applicable Certificate Account. The related Seller shall have no obligation to
pay for any of the foregoing costs if the applicable Mortgagor has an obligation
to pay for such costs.
In the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable
Master Servicer shall process any defeasance of such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan in accordance with the original terms of the respective Mortgage Loan
documents following a request by the applicable Special Servicer that such
Master Servicer do so, which request shall be accompanied by a waiver of any
condition of defeasance that an "event of default" under such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan not have occurred or be continuing, and such Master Servicer shall
be entitled to any fees paid relating to such defeasance. If such "event of
default" is on account of an uncured payment default, the applicable Special
Servicer will process the defeasance of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan,
and such Special Servicer shall be entitled to any fees paid relating to such
defeasance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans
originated or acquired by MSMC and subject to defeasance, MSMC has retained the
right to designate and establish the successor borrower and to purchase or cause
the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of the related defeasance
collateral ("MSMC Defeasance Rights and Obligations"). In the event the General
Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a
Mortgage Loan originated or acquired by MSMC and subject to defeasance, the
General Master Servicer shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written
notice of such defeasance request to MSMC or its assignee. Until such time as
MSMC provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a
Mortgage Loan with MSMC Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to
MSMC pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement.
(i) The applicable Master Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan
which is secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a ground lease,
confirm whether or not on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after
receipt of the related Servicer Mortgage File by such Master Servicer (or
Primary Servicer, if applicable), the Seller has notified the related ground
lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Trust pursuant to this
Agreement, and informed such ground lessor that any notices of default under the
related Ground Lease should thereafter be forwarded to such Master Servicer (as
evidenced by delivery of a copy thereof to such Master Servicer). Such Master
Servicer shall promptly notify the ground lessor if the Seller has failed to do
so by the thirtieth day after the Closing Date.
(j) Pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the
Non-Trust-Serviced Loan Group, the owner of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu
Loan has agreed that such owner's rights in, to and under the Non-Trust-Serviced
Pari Passu Loan are subject to the servicing and all other rights of the
2007-HQ11 Master Servicer and the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer, and the 2007-HQ11
Master Servicer and the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer are authorized and obligated
to service and administer the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan pursuant to the
2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the General Master
Servicer's obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the General Master
Servicer's authority with respect to the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan are
limited by and subject to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and the rights of
the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer and the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer with respect
thereto under the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The General Master
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to
enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari
Passu Loan) under the Co-Lender Agreement. The General Master Servicer shall
take such actions as it shall deem reasonably necessary to facilitate the
servicing of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan by the 2007-HQ11 Master
Servicer and the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer including, but not limited to,
delivering appropriate Requests for Release to the Trustee and Custodian (if
any) in order to deliver any portion of the related Mortgage File to the
2007-HQ11 Master Servicer or the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer under the 2007-HQ11
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section 8.4 Primary Servicing and Sub-Servicing
(a) The parties hereto (A) acknowledge that the General Master Servicer
has delegated certain of its obligations and assigned certain of its rights
under this Agreement to each of the Primary Servicers pursuant to the respective
Primary Servicing Agreements and the Natixis Sub-Servicer pursuant to the
Natixis Sub-Servicing Agreement and (B) agree: (1) in addition to those
obligations specifically delegated by the General Master Servicer to the Primary
Servicers under the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement and the Natixis
Sub-Servicer under the Natixis Sub-Servicing Agreement, each Primary Servicer
and (if so provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) each Sub-Servicer
shall also perform the General Master Servicer's obligations set forth in
Section 2.1(d) of this Agreement as such Section relates to the Mortgage Loans
serviced by it; (2) in addition to those rights specifically granted by the
General Master Servicer to the Primary Servicers under the applicable Primary
Servicing Agreement or any Sub-Servicer under the applicable Sub-Servicing
Agreement, those rights set forth in Section 8.24 hereof accruing to the benefit
of the General Master Servicer shall also accrue to the benefit of the Primary
Servicers and each Sub-Servicer; (3) any indemnification or release from
liability set forth in this Agreement accruing to the benefit of the General
Master Servicer shall also, to the extent applicable, benefit the Primary
Servicers and each Sub-Servicer; and (4) for each notice, certification, report,
schedule, statement or other type of writing that a party hereto is obligated to
deliver to the General Master Servicer in respect of Mortgage Loans for which a
Primary Servicer or Sub-Servicer has been engaged, such party shall deliver to
each of the applicable Primary Servicers or the applicable Sub-Servicer a copy
of such notice, certification, report, schedule, statement or other type of
writing at the time and in the same manner that any of the foregoing is required
to be delivered to the General Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding the provisions of any Primary Servicing Agreement, the
Sub-Servicing Agreement or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master
Servicers shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee, the Special
Servicers and the Certificateholders for servicing and administering of the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement to the same
extent as if the applicable Master Servicer was alone servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, the foregoing shall not in
any way limit or impair the indemnification provisions benefiting the Master
Servicers in Section 8.25; and further provided, however, for the avoidance of
doubt, such "servicing and administration" shall not be construed to include
reporting under or for purposes of compliance with Regulation AB. Each Master
Servicer or applicable Primary Servicer shall supervise, administer, monitor,
enforce and oversee the servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loans by any
Sub-Servicer appointed by it. Other than with respect to the agreements with the
Primary Servicers or the Sub-Servicers under agreements that are in effect as of
the Closing Date, the terms of any arrangement or agreement between the Master
Servicer or applicable Primary Servicer, on the one hand, and a Sub-Servicer, on
the other, shall provide that such sub-servicing agreement or arrangement may be
terminated, without cause and without the payment of any termination fees, by
the Trustee in the event such applicable Master Servicer or the applicable
Primary Servicer is terminated in accordance with this Agreement or the
applicable Primary Servicing Agreement. In addition, none of the Special
Servicers, the Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any direct
obligation or liability (including, without limitation, indemnification
obligations) with respect to any Sub-Servicer. The applicable Master Servicer or
applicable Primary Servicer shall pay the costs of enforcement against any of
its Sub-Servicers at its own expense, but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i)
from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent that
such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans
or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys fees against
the party against whom such enforcement is directed. Notwithstanding the
provisions of any Primary Servicing Agreement or any sub-servicing agreement,
any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between a Master Servicer, a Primary Servicer or a Sub-Servicer, or reference to
actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the applicable Master
Servicer, or applicable Primary Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to
the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders for the servicing
and administering of the applicable Mortgage Loans in accordance with (and
subject to the limitations contained within) the provisions of this Agreement or
the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement without diminution of such obligation
or liability by virtue of indemnification from a Sub-Servicer and to the same
extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the applicable Master
Servicer or applicable Primary Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans.
(b) Subject to the limitations of subsection (a), the Master Servicers
or any Primary Servicer may appoint one or more sub-servicers (each, along with
the Natixis Sub-Servicer, a "Sub-Servicer") to perform all or any portion of its
duties hereunder for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
provided, however, that any decision or recommendation involving the exercise of
a Primary Servicer's discretion as a "lender" under any loan document with
respect to a Mortgage Loan shall be exercised only by the Primary Servicer and
may not be delegated to a Sub-Servicer; provided, further, however, that no
Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Primary Servicer shall enter into a
sub-servicing agreement with any party that is a Prohibited Party.
The General Master Servicer shall enter into a Primary Servicing
Agreement with each Primary Servicer and the Natixis Sub-Servicing Agreement
with the Natixis Sub-Servicer Agreement and shall not terminate such agreement
except in accordance with the terms thereof. To the extent consistent with the
rights of a Primary Servicer or a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement and the
related Primary Servicing Agreement or Sub-Servicing Agreement, but not in
limitation of any other rights granted to a Primary Servicer or a Sub-Servicer
in this Agreement and/or in the Primary Servicing Agreement or a Sub-Servicing
Agreement, such Primary Servicer shall have all of the rights and obligations of
a Sub-Servicer set forth herein.
Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement to the
contrary, (i) each Primary Servicer's and each Sub-Servicer's rights and
obligations under its respective Primary Servicing Agreement or Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the applicable Master
Servicer's servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the applicable
Primary Servicing Agreement or Sub-Servicing Agreement has not been terminated
in accordance with its provisions, (ii) any successor Master Servicer,
including, without limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the servicing
obligations of the terminated Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically
assume and agree to each of the then current Primary Servicing Agreements or
Sub-Servicing Agreement without further action upon becoming the successor
Master Servicer, and (iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner
which would increase the obligations or limit the rights of any Primary Servicer
or any Sub-Servicer hereunder and/or under the applicable Primary Servicing
Agreement or the Sub-Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of
such Primary Servicer or the Sub-Servicer (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld).
If a task, right or obligation of the General Master Servicer is
delegated to a Primary Servicer under a Primary Servicing Agreement, and such
task, right or obligation involves or requires the consent of the General
Special Servicer, then such Special Servicer shall accept the performance of
such task, right or obligation by such Primary Servicer in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement (including without limitation any time periods for
consent or deemed consent to be observed by such Special Servicer) as if the
General Master Servicer were performing it.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, each of the parties
hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Special Servicers, in such capacity, are
neither a party to any Primary Servicing Agreement or Sub-Servicing Agreement,
nor are they bound by any provision of any Primary Servicing Agreement or the
Sub-Servicing Agreement in its capacity as Special Servicer.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any sub-servicing
agreement with a Sub-Servicer (including the Primary Servicing Agreements and
the Sub-Servicing Agreements) shall provide that (i) the failure of the related
Sub-Servicer to comply with any of the requirements of Article XIII of this
Agreement and (ii) for so long as the General Master Servicer is required to
provide Exchange Act reporting items under the terms of this Agreement, the
failure of the related Sub-Servicer to comply with any requirements to deliver
any items required by Items 1122 and 1123 of Regulation AB (while such reporting
is required under Regulation AB) under any other pooling and servicing agreement
relating to any transaction similar to the Subject Securitization Transaction
shall constitute an event of default by such Sub-Servicer upon the occurrence of
which either the applicable Master Servicer or Special Servicer or the Depositor
shall immediately terminate the related Sub-Servicer under the related
sub-servicing agreement and that such termination shall be deemed for cause.
Section 8.5 Servicers May Own Certificates
Any Master Servicer and any Primary Servicer and any agent of the
Master Servicers or Primary Servicers in its individual or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would
have if it were not such Master Servicer, such Primary Servicer or such agent.
Any such interest of any Master Servicer or any Primary Servicer or such agent
in the Certificates shall not be taken into account when evaluating whether
actions of such Master Servicer are consistent with its obligations in
accordance with the Servicing Standard regardless of whether such actions may
have the effect of benefiting the Class or Classes of Certificates owned by such
Master Servicer.
Section 8.6 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance, Other Insurance and Taxes
Subject to the limitations set forth below, each Master Servicer shall
use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the
related Mortgagor to maintain for each Mortgaged Property (other than any REO
Property) to the extent required (or, in the case of the Mortgage Loans other
than the NCB, FSB Loan, otherwise permitted) by the related Mortgage (A) a
Standard Hazard Insurance Policy which does not provide for reduction due to
depreciation in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full
replacement cost of improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the
outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan but, in any event, unless
otherwise specified in the applicable Mortgage or Mortgage Note, in an amount
sufficient to avoid the application of any co insurance clause, (B) any
terrorism insurance coverage for a Mortgage Loan, which the related Mortgagor is
required to maintain under the related Mortgage, to the extent that such
insurance is available at a commercially reasonable rate and (C) any other
insurance coverage for a Mortgage Loan which the related Mortgagor is required
to maintain under the related Mortgage; provided the applicable Master Servicer
shall not be required to maintain earthquake insurance on any Mortgaged Property
required by the related Mortgage unless such insurance was required at
origination and is available at a commercially reasonable rate; provided,
however, that the applicable Special Servicer shall have the right, but not the
duty, to obtain, at the Trust's expense, earthquake insurance on any Mortgaged
Property securing a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an REO Property so long
as such insurance is available at a commercially reasonable rate; provided,
further, that a determination by a Master Servicer that terrorism insurance is
not available at a commercially reasonable rate shall be subject to the approval
of the Operating Adviser as set forth below. If the related Mortgagor does not
maintain the insurance set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, then the
applicable Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained such insurance with a
Qualified Insurer and the payment of the cost of such insurance shall be a
Servicing Advance; provided, that a determination by a Master Servicer that
terrorism insurance should not be obtained on a force-placed basis shall be
subject to the approval of the Operating Adviser as set forth below.
Concurrently with its making such determination, the Master Servicer shall
forward to the Operating Adviser and the applicable Special Servicer all
information used to make such determination. Upon a Master Servicer's
determination that terrorism insurance is not available at a commercially
reasonable rate or that terrorism insurance should not be obtained on a
force-placed basis, such Master Servicer shall notify the Operating Adviser. The
failure of the Operating Adviser to provide notice of such disapproval in such
time period shall be deemed approval. If the Operating Adviser provides such
notice of disapproval within such time period, the Master Servicer shall obtain
such insurance coverage and the cost of such insurance coverage shall be
considered a Servicing Advance.
Each Standard Hazard Insurance Policy maintained with respect to any
Mortgaged Property that is not an REO Property shall contain, or have an
accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. If, on the
date of origination, the improvements on the Mortgaged Property are located in a
designated special flood hazard area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
in the Federal Register, as amended from time to time (to the extent permitted
under the related Mortgage Loan or as required by law), the applicable Master
Servicer (with respect to any Mortgaged Property that is not an REO Property)
shall cause flood insurance to be maintained. Such flood insurance shall be in
an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan or (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program, if the
area in which the improvements on the Mortgaged Property are located is
participating in such program. Any amounts collected by the applicable Master
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus
acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of
the applicable Mortgage Loan) shall be deposited in the applicable Certificate
Account.
Any cost (such as insurance premiums and insurance broker fees but not
internal costs and expenses of obtaining such insurance) incurred by a Master
Servicer in maintaining any insurance pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall not,
for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders
or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage
Loan permit such cost to be added to the outstanding Principal Balance thereof.
Such costs shall be paid as a Servicing Advance by such Master Servicer, subject
to Section 4.4 hereof.
Notwithstanding the above, a Master Servicer shall have no obligation
beyond using its reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to
enforce such insurance requirements. Furthermore, a Master Servicer shall not be
required in any event to maintain or obtain insurance coverage to the extent the
Trustee as mortgagee does not have an insurable interest or beyond what is
reasonably available at a commercially reasonable rate and consistent with the
Servicing Standard. Each Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee in the event
it makes such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such determination
shall be subject to the approval of the Operating Adviser with respect to
terrorism insurance, as set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 8.6
and. In addition, each Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely at its own
expense on insurance consultants in connection with any such determination. In
no event shall the Master Servicer be required to obtain any insurance coverage
that would require a Servicing Advance that constitutes a Nonrecoverable
Advance.
Each Master Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations as set forth in this Section 8.6 either (i) if such Master Servicer
shall have obtained and maintained a master force placed or blanket insurance
policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the applicable Mortgage Loans,
it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause
on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained
by comparable servicers consistent with the Servicing Standard, and provided
that such policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer or (ii) if such Master
Servicer, provided that its or its parent's long-term rating is not less than
"A" by S&P and Fitch, self-insures for its obligations as set forth in the first
paragraph of this Section 8.6. In the event that a Master Servicer shall cause
any Mortgage Loan to be covered by such a master force placed or blanket
insurance policy, the incremental cost of such insurance allocable to such
Mortgage Loan (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such
policy whether or not any Mortgage Loan is then covered thereby), if not borne
by the related Mortgagor, shall be paid by such Master Servicer as a Servicing
Advance. If such policy contains a deductible clause, the applicable Master
Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property a policy complying with this Section 8.6 and there shall have been a
loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the applicable
Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable under such master force
placed or blanket insurance policy because of such deductible clause to the
extent that such deductible exceeds (i) the deductible under the related
Mortgage Loan or (ii) if there is no deductible limitation required under the
Mortgage Loan, the deductible amount with respect to insurance policies
generally available on properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property
which is consistent with the Servicing Standard, and deliver to the Trustee an
Officer's Certificate describing the calculation of such amount. In connection
with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the
applicable Master Servicer agrees to present, on its behalf and on behalf of the
Trustee, claims under any such master force placed or blanket insurance policy.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the applicable Master Servicer
shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property
reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or
may become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the status of insurance
premiums payable with respect thereto. From time to time, the applicable Master
Servicer (other than with respect to REO Mortgage Loans) shall, except in the
case of Mortgage Loans under which Escrow Amounts are not held by the applicable
Master Servicer (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including
renewal premiums), and (ii) effect payment of all such bills, taxes and other
assessments with respect to such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable
penalty or termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow
Amounts as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgagor
fails to make any such payment on a timely basis or collections from the
Mortgagor are insufficient to pay any such item before the applicable penalty or
termination date, the applicable Master Servicer in accordance with the
Servicing Standard shall use its reasonable efforts to pay as a Servicing
Advance the amount necessary to effect the payment of any such item prior to
such penalty or termination date (or, with respect to real estate taxes, prior
to the earlier of the imposition of late tax payment penalty charges or the
notice of intent to create a tax lien on the Mortgaged Property), subject to
Section 4.4 hereof. No costs incurred by the Master Servicers or the Trustee, as
the case may be, in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the
Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums and ground rents shall, for
the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loans permit such costs to be added to the outstanding principal
balances of such Mortgage Loans.
Section 8.7 [Reserved]
Section 8.8 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Trustee Mortgage Files
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the complete defeasance
of a Mortgage Loan, satisfaction or discharge in full of any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or the receipt by a Master Servicer of a notification that payment
in full (or such payment, if any, in connection with the satisfaction and
discharge in full of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) will be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, and upon notification by the applicable
Master Servicer in the form of a certification (which certification 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 Certificate Account have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing
Officer and a request for release of the Trustee Mortgage File in the form of
Exhibit C hereto the Trustee shall promptly release the related Trustee Mortgage
File to the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall execute and deliver
to such Master Servicer the deed of reconveyance or release, satisfaction or
assignment of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage, as
directed by such Master Servicer together with the Mortgage Note. The provisions
of the immediately preceding sentence shall not, in any manner, limit or impair
the right of the Master Servicers to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Trustee, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction, cancellation or assignment without recourse, representation or
warranty, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the
Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. No expenses
incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Distribution Account but shall be paid
by the applicable Master Servicer except to the extent that such expenses are
paid by the related Mortgagor in a manner consistent with the terms of the
related Mortgage and applicable law. From time to time and as shall be
appropriate for the servicing of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose,
collection under any policy of flood insurance, any Servicer Fidelity Bond or
Errors and Omissions Policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial or total
release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of
any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other
documents included in the Trustee Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, upon request
of the applicable Master Servicer and the delivery to the Trustee of a Request
for Release signed by a Servicing Officer, in the form of Exhibit C hereto,
release the Trustee Mortgage File to such Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be.
Section 8.9 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the Master
Servicers to Be Held for the Trustee for the Benefit of the Certificateholders
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, each Master
Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee, to the extent required by this
Agreement, all documents and instruments coming into the possession of such
Master Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any
funds received or otherwise collected thereby, including Liquidation Proceeds or
Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Servicer Mortgage Files
and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, each Master Servicer in
respect of such Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and
interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, including
any funds on deposit in the applicable Certificate Accounts, shall be held by
the applicable Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of
the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each Master
Servicer agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Servicer Mortgage
Files or Trustee Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the
Certificate Accounts or the applicable Escrow Accounts, or any funds that
otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee, to any claim, lien,
security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or
assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any
Servicer Mortgage Files or Trustee Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or
in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Master Servicers
shall be entitled to receive from any such funds any amounts that are properly
due and payable to the Master Servicers under this Agreement.
Section 8.10 Servicing Compensation
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, each Master Servicer
shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee and the General Master Servicer
shall be entitled to the Primary Servicing Fee (except with respect to the NCB,

(including, if applicable, the applicable Master Servicer), the Excess Servicing

otherwise retained by the holders of such rights. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if any of the holders of the right to receive Excess
Servicing Fees resigns or is no longer a Master Servicer or Primary Servicer (to
the extent that such Person was ever a Master Servicer or a Primary Servicer),
as applicable, for any reason, it will continue to have the right to receive its
portion of the Excess Servicing Fee, and any of the holders of the right to
receive Excess Servicing Fees shall have the right to assign its portion of the
Excess Servicing Fee, whether or not it is then acting as a Master Servicer or
Primary Servicer hereunder. The General Master Servicer shall also be entitled
to the Primary Servicing Fee (except with respect to the NCB, FSB Loans), which
shall be payable by the Trust from amounts held in the applicable Certificate

Sub-Servicing Agreement is terminated.

Interest), other usual and customary charges and fees actually received from

set forth in Section 5.2(a)(i). If the applicable Master Servicer collects any
amount payable to the applicable Special Servicer hereunder in connection with
an REO Mortgage Loan or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Master
Servicer shall promptly remit such amount to the applicable Special Servicer as
provided in Section 5.2. The applicable Master Servicer shall be required to pay

for such Determination Date.

additional servicing compensation of (i) an amount equal to the excess, if any,

unless it shall be proved that such Master Servicer or such officer was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. Neither the Master Servicers nor
any partner, representative, Affiliate, member, manager, director, officer,
employee or agent, shall be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the
discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement.
(c) The Master Servicers shall not be obligated to incur any
liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which relate to or arise
from any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the
Depositor, the Special Servicers, the Paying Agent or the Trustee in this
Agreement. The Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicers from
any and all claims, liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which
relate to or arise from any such breach of representation, warranty or covenant
to the extent such Master Servicer is unable to recover such amounts from the
Person in breach.
(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein:
(i) a Master Servicer may rely, and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer's certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, financial statement,
agreement, appraisal, bond or other document (in electronic or paper format)
reasonably believed or in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) a Master Servicer may consult with counsel, and any written advice
or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of
Counsel;
(iii) a Master Servicer shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Agreement; and
(iv) a Master Servicer, in preparing any reports hereunder, may rely,
and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
information (financial or other), statement, certificate, document,
agreement, covenant, notice, request or other paper (in electronic or paper
format) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and provided by any
Mortgagor or manager of a Mortgaged Property.
(e) The Master Servicers and any partner, representative, Affiliate,
member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of such Master Servicer
shall be indemnified by the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the applicable Special
Servicer, as the case may be, and held harmless against any and all claims,
losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments,
and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that such Master Servicer
may sustain arising from or as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of the Trustee's, the Paying Agent's or the
applicable Special Servicer's duties hereunder, as the case may be, or by reason
of negligent disregard of the Trustee's, the applicable Special Servicer's or
the Paying Agent's obligations and duties hereunder, as the case may be,
(including a breach of such obligations a substantial motive of which is to
obtain an economic advantage from being released from such obligations). A
Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
applicable Special Servicer, if a claim is made by a third party with respect to
this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans for which it is acting as Master Servicer
entitling such Master Servicer to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the
Trustee, the Paying Agent or the applicable Special Servicer, in each case, to
the extent the claim is related to its respective willful misfeasance, bad
faith, negligence or negligent disregard, shall assume the defense of any such
claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Master Servicer) and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or
them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Trustee, the Paying
Agent and the applicable Special Servicer shall not affect any rights that such
Master Servicer may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise,
unless the Trustee's, the Paying Agent's or the applicable Special Servicer's
defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. Such indemnity shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of such
Master Servicer hereunder. Any payment hereunder made by the Trustee, the Paying
Agent or the Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph to such Master Servicer
shall be paid from the Trustee's, the Paying Agent's or the applicable Special
Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust therefor except to
the extent achieved through subrogation as provided in this Agreement. Any
expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the Trustee, the Paying
Agent or the applicable Special Servicer shall be reimbursed by the party so
paid, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final judgment that the
conduct of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the applicable Special Servicer, as
the case may be, was not culpable of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of its respective duties hereunder or of negligent
disregard of its respective duties hereunder or the indemnified party is found
to have acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.
Section 8.25 Indemnification; Third-Party Claims
(a) Each Master Servicer and any partner, representative, Affiliate,
member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of each such Master
Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any and all
claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in
connection with any legal action or claim relating to this Agreement, any
Mortgage Loans, any REO Property or the Certificates or any exercise of any
right under this Agreement reasonably requiring the use of counsel or the
incurring of expenses other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of such Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
the performance of duties hereunder.
Subject to the provisions of Section 9.40, the indemnification
described in the preceding paragraph (including in the case of such claims or
losses that relate primarily to the administration of the Trust, to any REMIC
Pool or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any
tax under the REMIC provisions of the Code or the actual payment of any REMIC
tax or expense) shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the
Mortgage Loans as a whole.
A Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Master Servicer) and out of the Trust
pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and out of the
Trust promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be
entered against it or them in respect of such claim and satisfy any settlement
or other disposition in respect of such claim. The indemnification provided
herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement or of the Master
Servicers in such capacity. The Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Master
Servicers shall promptly make from the applicable Certificate Account any
payments certified by the applicable Master Servicer to the Trustee and the
Paying Agent as required to be made to the applicable Master Servicer pursuant
to this Section 8.25.
(b) Each Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the
applicable Special Servicer, the Trust, the Depositor, the Paying Agent, and any
partner, representative, Affiliate, member, manager, director, officer,
employee, agent or Controlling Person thereof, and hold them harmless against
any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and
related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses
that the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Paying
Agent and the Trust may sustain arising from or as a result of the willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of such Master
Servicer's duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of such Master
Servicer's obligations and duties hereunder (including a breach of such
obligations a substantial motive of which is to obtain an economic advantage
from being released from such obligations), and if in any such situation such
Master Servicer is replaced, the parties hereto agree that the amount of such
claims, losses, penalties, fines, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and
other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses shall at least equal the incremental
costs, if any, of retaining a successor servicer. The Trustee, the applicable
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Depositor, as applicable, shall
immediately notify the applicable Master Servicer if a claim is made by any
Person with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the
Trustee, the Depositor, the applicable Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or the
Trust to indemnification under this Section 8.25(b), whereupon the applicable
Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, the
Paying Agent or the Depositor, as applicable) and pay all expenses in connection
therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any
judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such
claim. Any failure to so notify the applicable Master Servicer shall not affect
any rights the Trustee, the applicable Special Servicer, the Depositor, the
Paying Agent or the Trust may have to indemnification under this Agreement or
otherwise, unless the applicable Master Servicer's defense of such claim is
materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or termination of the
applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Paying Agent
and the Trustee. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the
applicable Master Servicer shall be reimbursed by the party so paid, if a court
of competent jurisdiction makes a final, non-appealable judgment that the
conduct of the applicable Master Servicer was not culpable of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its respective duties
hereunder or of negligent disregard of its respective duties hereunder or the
indemnified party is found to have acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence.
(c) The Master Servicers shall not have any liability to the Depositor,
the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Special Servicers, the 2007-HQ11 Master
Servicer, the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer, any Certificateholder, any Certificate
Owner, any Primary Servicer, the Placement Agent, any Underwriter, any Rating
Agency or any other Person to whom it delivers information pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement for federal, state or other applicable securities
law violations relating to the disclosure of such information. In the event any
Person brings any claims relating to or arising from the foregoing against a
Master Servicer (or any partners, representatives, Affiliates, members,
managers, directors, officers, employees, agents thereof), the Trust (from
amounts held in any account) shall hold harmless and indemnify such Master
Servicer from any loss or expense (including attorney fees) relating to or
arising from such claims.
(d) The 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer and any partner, representative,
Affiliate, member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the
2007-HQ11 Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless
against (i) the Trust's pro rata share of any and all claims, losses, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs,
liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any legal action
relating to the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement,
and relating to the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan (but excluding any such
losses allocable to the Non-Trust Serviced Companion Loan), reasonably requiring
the use of counsel or the incurring of expenses other than any losses incurred
by reason of the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of its duties under the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and (ii) any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees
and expenses relating to the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan, but only to the
extent that such losses arise out of the actions of the Master Servicers, the
Special Servicers or the Trustee, and only to the extent that such actions are
in violation of such party's duties under the provisions of this Agreement and
to the extent that such actions are the result of such party's negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
Section 8.26 [Reserved]
Section 8.27 Compliance with REMIC Provisions and Grantor Trust
Provisions
The Master Servicers shall act in accordance with this Agreement and
the REMIC Provisions and related provisions of the Code in order to create or
maintain the status of the REMIC Pools created hereby as REMICs and the Class EI
Grantor Trust created hereby as a grantor trust under the Code. The Master
Servicers shall take no action or (A) cause any REMIC Pool to take any action
that could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC under the Code
or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC Pool (including, but
not limited to, the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code or on prohibited contributions pursuant to Section
860G(d) of the Code) or (B) cause the Class EI Grantor Trust to take any action
that could (i) endanger its status as a grantor trust or (ii) result in the
imposition of any tax upon the Class EI Grantor Trust, unless the Trustee shall
have received a Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking
to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not
endanger such status or result in the imposition of such tax. The Master
Servicers shall comply with the provisions of Article XII hereof.
Section 8.28 Termination
(a) The obligations and responsibilities of either Master Servicer
created hereby (other than the obligation of the Master Servicers to make
payments to the Trustee as set forth in Section 8.29 and the obligations of the
Master Servicers to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the applicable Special
Servicer and the Trust as set forth in Section 8.25) shall terminate (i) on the
date which is the later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the
last Mortgage Loan remaining outstanding (and final distribution to the
Certificateholders) or (B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final
distribution to the Certificateholders), (ii) if an Event of Default with
respect to such Master Servicer described in clauses 8.28(b)(iii), (iv), (viii)
or (ix) (but, with respect to clause (ix), only if directed by the
Certificateholders or the Operating Adviser as set forth in the last sentence of
this Section 8.28(a)) has occurred, 60 days following the date on which the
Trustee or Depositor gives written notice to such Master Servicer that such
Master Servicer is terminated or (iii) if an Event of Default with respect to
such Master Servicer described in clauses 8.28(b)(i), (ii), (v), (vi) or (vii)
has occurred, immediately upon the date on which the Trustee or the Depositor
gives written notice to such Master Servicer that such Master Servicer is
terminated. After any Event of Default, the Trustee (i) may elect (or, with
respect to clause 8.28(b)(x), either the Trustee or the Depositor may elect) to
terminate such Master Servicer by providing such notice, and (ii) shall provide
such notice if holders of Certificates representing more than 25% of the
Aggregate Certificate Balance of all Certificates so direct the Trustee. After
an Event of Default described in Section 8.28(b)(ix) below, the Trustee shall,
at the written direction of the Operating Adviser or the holders of Certificates
representing more than 51% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance of all
Certificates, terminate such Master Servicer.
(b) "Event of Default," wherever used herein, means, with respect to
any Master Servicer, any one of the following events:
(i) any failure by such Master Servicer, at the times required
hereunder, to remit to the Trustee or otherwise make any payment required to
be remitted by such Master Servicer under the terms of this Agreement,
including any required P&I Advances, which continues unremedied until 11:00
a.m. on the Distribution Date; or
(ii) any failure by such Master Servicer to (i) make a required deposit
to the applicable Certificate Account which continues unremedied for one
Business Day following the date on which such deposit was first required to
be made, or (ii) timely make any Servicing Advance required to be made by it
hereunder, which Servicing Advance remains unmade for a period of one
Business Day following the date on which notice shall have been given to
such Master Servicer by the Trustee as provided in Section 4.3(b); or
(iii) any failure on the part of such Master Servicer duly to observe
or perform in any material respect any other of the duties, covenants or
agreements on the part of such Master Servicer contained in this Agreement
(other than with respect to the duties, covenants or agreements contained in
Article XIII, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act) which continues unremedied for a period of
30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring
the same to be remedied, shall have been given to such Master Servicer by
the Depositor or the Trustee; provided, however, that if such Master
Servicer certifies to the Trustee and the Depositor that such Master
Servicer is in good faith attempting to remedy such failure, such cure
period will be extended to the extent necessary to permit the Master
Servicer to cure such failure; provided, further, that such cure period may
not exceed 90 days; or
(iv) any breach of the representations and warranties contained in
Section 8.20 hereof that materially and adversely affects the interest of
any holder of any Class of Certificates and that continues unremedied for a
period of 30 days after the date on which notice of such breach, requiring
the same to be remedied, shall have been given to such Master Servicer by
the Depositor or the Trustee, provided, however, that if such Master
Servicer certifies to the Trustee and the Depositor that such Master
Servicer is in good faith attempting to remedy such breach, such cure period
will be extended to the extent necessary to permit such Master Servicer to
cure such breach; provided, further, that such cure period may not exceed 90
days; or
(v) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present
or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the
appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar
official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against such Master
Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged,
undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(vi) such Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any
bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to such Master Servicer or
of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(vii) such Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of
any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of
its obligations, or take any corporate action in furtherance of the
foregoing; or
(viii) such Master Servicer ceases to have a master servicer rating of
at least "CMS3" from Fitch, or the Trustee receives written notice from
Fitch to the effect that the continuation of the Master Servicer in such
capacity would result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any
rating then assigned by Fitch to any Class of Certificates and citing
servicing concerns with such Master Servicer as the sole or a material
factor in such rating action; provided that such Master Servicer shall have
60 days after removal due to such default within which it may sell its
servicing rights to a party acceptable under this Agreement;
(ix) such Master Servicer is no longer listed on S&P's Select Servicer
List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Master Servicer (or, with respect to NCB,
FSB, as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Servicer), and that Master Servicer is
not reinstated to such status within 60 days; or
(x) subject to Section 13.8, such Master Servicer or any Additional
Servicer or Sub-Servicer appointed by such Master Servicer (other than a
Seller Sub-Servicer), shall fail to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items
required to be delivered by such servicer under Article XIII of this
Agreement at the times required under such Article.
If any Master Servicer is terminated based upon an Event of Default set
forth in clause (viii) or (ix) above, then such Master Servicer shall have the
right to enter into a sub-servicing agreement or primary servicing agreement
with the applicable successor master servicer with respect to all applicable
Mortgage Loans that are not then subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement or Primary
Servicing Agreement, so long as such terminated Master Servicer is on the
approved select list of commercial mortgage loan servicers maintained by S&P and
has a commercial loan primary servicer rating of at least "CPS3" (or the
equivalent) from Fitch (or obtains a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating
Agency as to which such terminated Master Servicer does not satisfy the
applicable rating level described above), and the Operating Adviser has
consented to such Primary Servicing or Sub-Servicing arrangement.
Section 8.29 Procedure Upon Termination
(a) Notice of any termination pursuant to clause (i) of Section
8.28(a), specifying the Master Servicer Remittance Date upon which the final
transfer by a Master Servicer to the Trustee shall be made, shall be given
promptly in writing by such Master Servicer to the Trustee no later than the
later of (i) five Business Days after the final payment or other liquidation of
the last Mortgage Loan or (ii) the sixth day of the month of such final
distribution. Upon any such termination, the duties of such Master Servicer
(other than the obligation of such Master Servicer to pay to the Trustee the
amounts remaining in the applicable Certificate Account as set forth below and
the obligations of such Master Servicer to the Trustee and the Trust as provided
herein) shall terminate and such Master Servicer shall transfer to the Trustee
the amounts remaining in the applicable Certificate Account (and any
sub-account) after making the withdrawals permitted to be made pursuant to
Section 5.2 and shall thereafter terminate the applicable Certificate Account
and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
(b) On the date specified in a written notice of termination given to a
Master Servicer pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 8.28(a), or on the date on
which a written notice of termination is given to a Master Servicer pursuant to
clause (iii) of Section 8.28(a) all authority, power and rights of such Master
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall terminate (except for any rights relating to unpaid servicing
compensation or unreimbursed Advances or, if the terminated Master Servicer is
NCB, FSB, the Excess Servicing Fee with respect to its Mortgages Loans and all
indemnities and exculpations set forth herein); provided that in no event shall
the termination of such Master Servicer be effective until a successor servicer
shall have succeeded such Master Servicer as successor servicer, subject to
approval by the Rating Agencies, notified such Master Servicer of such
designation and such successor servicer shall have assumed such Master
Servicer's obligations and responsibilities hereunder and under the Primary
Servicing Agreements, as set forth in an agreement substantially in the form
hereof, with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Except as provided in the next
sentence, the Trustee may not succeed a Master Servicer as servicer until and
unless it has satisfied the provisions that would apply to a Person succeeding
to the business of such Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.22(b) hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that a Master Servicer is
terminated as a result of an event described in Section 8.28(b)(v), 8.28(b)(vi)
or 8.28(b)(vii), the Trustee shall act as successor servicer immediately upon
delivery of a notice of termination to such Master Servicer and shall use
commercially reasonable efforts within 90 days of assuming the duties of such
Master Servicer, either to satisfy the conditions of Section 8.22(b) hereof or
to transfer the duties of such Master Servicer to a successor servicer who has
satisfied such conditions. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of such Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents or otherwise. The Master
Servicers agree to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of a
Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer
including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the
servicing function and providing the Trustee all documents and records in
electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the successor
servicer designated by the Trustee to assume such Master Servicer's functions
hereunder and to effect the transfer to such successor for administration by it
of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by such
Master Servicer in the Certificate Account and any other account or fund
maintained or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
(c) If a Master Servicer receives a written notice of termination
pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 8.28(a) relating solely to an Event of
Default set forth in clause (viii), (ix) or (x) of Section 8.28(b) or an Event
of Default caused by a default of a Primary Servicer under its Primary Servicing
Agreement, and if such Master Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate
"request for proposal" materials within five Business Days after receipt of such
written notice of termination, then the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using
such "request for proposal" materials provided by such Master Servicer) solicit
good faith bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this
Agreement from at least three but no more than five Qualified Bidders or, if
three Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many Persons as the
Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders. At the Trustee's request, such
Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to
solicit such bids. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible if less than
three Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to service the Mortgage Loans
under this Agreement.
(d) Each bid proposal shall require any Qualified Bidder, as a
condition of its bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer,
and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof and the terms of the Primary
Servicing Agreements, not later than 45 days after termination of the applicable
Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with
the highest cash bid (or such other Qualified Bidder as the applicable Master
Servicer may direct) (the "Successful Bidder") to act as successor Master
Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into
this Agreement as successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, and in
connection therewith to deliver the amount of the Successful Bidder's cash bid
to the Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
specified by the Trustee no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the date
specified for the assignment and assumption of the servicing rights hereunder.
(e) Upon the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights
hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder and receipt of such cash bid, the
Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Master Servicer
the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and
transferring servicing) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account specified by the terminated Master Servicer no later than 1:00 p.m. New
York City time on the date specified for the assignment and assumption of the
servicing rights hereunder.
(f) If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as a
successor Master Servicer within 45 days after the termination of a Master
Servicer hereunder or no Successful Bidder was identified within such 45-day
period, the Trustee shall have no further obligations under Section 8.29(c) and
may act or may select another successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in
accordance with Section 8.29(b). During such 45-day period and until the
acceptance of appointment by a successor servicer, the Master Servicer shall
continue to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.29, the
successor master servicer must assume all of the obligations of the terminated
Master Servicer under the Primary Servicing Agreements as a condition precedent
to its becoming Master Servicer hereunder.
(h) Any costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the master
servicing function (other than with respect to a termination without cause)
under this Agreement shall be borne by the predecessor Master Servicer and shall
be paid within 30 days of request therefor, otherwise, if the applicable Master
Servicer is terminated without cause, such costs and expenses shall be payable
from the Trust.
Section 8.30 Notification to Certificateholders
(a) Upon any resignation of a Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.22
or termination of a Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.28 or appointment of a
successor to the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default with
respect to a Master Servicer of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of
Certificates and each Rating Agency notice of such Event of Default, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF SPECIALLY SERVICED MORTGAGE
LOANS BY THE SPECIAL SERVICERS
Section 9.1 Duties of the Special Servicers
(a) Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement, for and on
behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, the applicable Special
Servicer shall service the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and manage the
related REO Properties in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the Servicing Standard (subject to the servicing of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari
Passu Loan by the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer and the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer
in accordance with the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement). Certain of
the provisions of this Article IX make explicit reference to their
non-applicability to the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan; notwithstanding
such explicit references, references to "Mortgage Loans," "Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans," "REO Mortgage Loan," "REO Property," "Rehabilitated Mortgage
Loan" and "Mortgaged Property" contained in this Article IX, unless otherwise
specified, shall be construed to exclude the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan
and any related real property (but any other terms that are defined in Article I
and used in this Article IX shall be construed according to such definitions
without regard to this sentence).
The General Special Servicer shall be the Special Servicer with respect
to all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust other than the Co-op
Trust Assets and the Non-Trust Serviced Loan Group and, as such, shall service
and administer such of the assets of the Trust (other than the Co-op Trust
Assets and the Non-Trust Serviced Loan Group) as constitute Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and shall render such incidental services as
are required of such Special Servicer with respect to such of the assets of the
Trust (other than the Co-op Trust Assets and the Non-Trust Serviced Loan Group)
as constitute assets that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO
Properties. The Co-op Special Servicer shall be the Special Servicer with
respect to the Co-op Trust Assets and, as such, shall service and administer
such of the Co-op Trust Assets as constitute Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
or REO Properties and shall render such incidental services as are required of
such Special Servicer with respect to such of the Co-op Trust Assets as are not
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Properties.
(b) Each Special Servicer shall cooperate with the applicable Master
Servicer and provide the applicable Master Servicer with the information
reasonably requested by such Master Servicer, in writing, to the extent required
to allow such Master Servicer to perform its servicing obligations with respect
to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans hereunder; provided, however, that (i)
a Special Servicer shall not be required to produce any ad hoc reports or incur
any unusual expense or effort in connection therewith and (ii) if a Special
Servicer elects to provide such ad hoc reports requested by the applicable
Master Servicer, such Special Servicer may require the applicable Master
Servicer to pay a reasonable fee to cover the costs of the preparation thereof.
A Special Servicer's obligations with respect to the servicing of any Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related REO Properties shall terminate when such
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan has become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan,
unless and until another Servicing Transfer Event with respect to such
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan occurs.
(c) The applicable Special Servicer shall send a written notice to the
applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee within two Business Days after
becoming aware that a Mortgage Loan has become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan,
which notice shall identify the applicable Mortgage Loan. Upon the receipt of
such notice by the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee, such Mortgage
Loan shall become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan and will be serviced by the
applicable Master Servicer.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to a
Mortgage Loan and upon the reasonable request of the applicable Special
Servicer, the applicable Master Servicer shall xxxx its records for such
Mortgage Loan to cause any monthly statements for amounts due on such Mortgage
Loan to be sent thereafter to the applicable Special Servicer rather than the
related Mortgagor. Upon receipt of any such monthly statement, the applicable
Special Servicer shall, within two Business Days, advise the applicable Master
Servicer of any changes to be made, and return the monthly statement to the
applicable Master Servicer. The applicable Master Servicer shall thereafter
promptly send the corrected monthly statement to the Mortgagor. If a Mortgage
Loan becomes a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall
send the monthly statement to the Mortgagor as it did before such Mortgage Loan
became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(e) All amounts collected by the applicable Master Servicer with
respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan that
has become an REO Mortgage Loan) shall be deposited in the applicable
Certificate Account. The applicable Master Servicer shall within two Business
Days after receipt of any such payment, notify the applicable Special Servicer
of the receipt of such payment and the amount thereof. The applicable Special
Servicer shall, within two Business Days thereafter, instruct the applicable
Master Servicer in writing how to apply such payment (with the application of
such payments to be made in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents
(including the Co-Lender Agreement, as applicable) or in accordance with this
Agreement, as applicable).
(f) After the occurrence of any Servicing Transfer Event with respect
to any one or more Mortgage Loans that are the subject of any Environmental
Insurance Policy, (i) the applicable Special Servicer shall monitor the dates by
which any claim must be made or action must be taken under such Environmental
Insurance Policy to achieve the payment of all amounts thereunder to which the
Trust is entitled in the event the applicable Special Servicer has actual
knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under such Environmental Insurance
Policy (an "Insured Environmental Event") and (ii) if the applicable Special
Servicer has actual knowledge of an Insured Environmental Event with respect to
such Mortgage Loan, such Special Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are
in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of the
related Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve
the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder. Any legal
fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing
Standard in connection with any such claim shall be paid by, and reimbursable
to, the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. All extraordinary
expenses (but not ordinary and routine or anticipated expenses) incurred by the
applicable Special Servicer in fulfilling its obligations under this Section 9.1
shall be paid by the Trust.
Section 9.2 Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy of
the Special Servicers
Each Special Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a
Servicer Fidelity Bond and a Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy. The
Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and Servicer Fidelity Bond shall
be issued by a Qualified Insurer (unless a Special Servicer self insures as
provided below) and be in form and amount consistent with the Servicing
Standard. In the event that any such Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy or Servicer Fidelity Bond ceases to be in effect, the applicable Special
Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or
issuer meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such
replacement. So long as the long-term rating of a Special Servicer (or its
corporate parent) is not less than two rating categories (ignoring pluses or
minuses) lower than the highest rating of the Certificates, but in any event not
less than "A" as rated by S&P and Fitch, such Special Servicer may self-insure
for the Servicer Fidelity Bond and the Servicer Error and Omissions Insurance
Policy.
Section 9.3 Sub-Servicers
Each Special Servicer shall have the right to use a Sub-Servicer on the
same terms and conditions as those set forth in Section 8.4 for a Sub-Servicer
of the applicable Master Servicer. The applicable Special Servicer shall notify
the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Adviser of the
appointment of any Sub-Servicer of such Special Servicer.
Section 9.4 Special Servicers' General Powers and Duties
(a) Subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement
(including, but not limited to, Sections 9.39), each Special Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered when such Special Servicer believes it appropriate in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, to take any and all the actions with
respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans which the applicable Master
Servicer may perform as set forth in Section 8.3(a), including (i) to execute
and deliver, on behalf of itself or the Trust, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans and with respect to the related REO Properties and (ii) to effectuate
foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of any REO Property securing a
Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall execute on the Closing Date the Powers of
Attorney in the form of Exhibit S-2A and Exhibit S-2B hereto and shall furnish
the applicable Special Servicer from time to time, upon request, with any
additional powers of attorney of the Trust, empowering such Special Servicer to
take such actions as it determines to be reasonably necessary to comply with its
servicing, administrative and management duties hereunder, and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such other documents
as a Special Servicing Officer may request, that are necessary or appropriate to
enable such Special Servicer to service, administer and manage the Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case as such
Special Servicer determines is in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the
terms of this Agreement; provided that, prior to initiating any proceedings in
any court of law or equity (but not defending any proceedings in any court of
law or equity) or instituting any proceeding to foreclose on any Mortgaged
Property in the name of the Trust in any state, such Special Servicer shall
notify the Trustee in writing and not institute or initiate any such proceedings
for a period of five Business Days from the date of its delivery of such notice
to the Trustee, unless such Special Servicer reasonably believes that such
action should be taken in less than five Business Days to preserve the property
of the Trust for the benefit of Certificateholders, and the Trustee may within
five Business Days of its receipt of such notice advise such Special Servicer
that it has received an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be an
expense of the Trust) from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the
state where the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property is located, that it
is likely that the laws of the state in which said action is to be taken either
prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trust or that the Trust would
be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state if
such action is taken in its name; provided, further, that such Special Servicer
shall not be liable to the extent that it relies on the advice provided in such
Opinion of Counsel. Upon receipt of any such advice from the Trustee, the
applicable Special Servicer shall take such action in the name of such Person or
Persons, in trust for the Trust, as shall be consistent with the Opinion of
Counsel obtained by the Trustee. Such Person or Persons shall acknowledge in
writing that such action is being taken by the Special Servicer in the name of
the Trust. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the applicable Special
Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those
instances where it is, after notice to the Trustee as provided above, taking
action in the name of the Trust, be deemed to be the agent of the Trust. The
applicable Special Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any loss, liability
or reasonable expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the Trustee or any
partner, representative, Affiliate, member, manager, director, officer,
employee, agent or Controlling Person of it or its Affiliates in connection with
any negligent or intentional misuse of the foregoing powers of attorney
furnished to such Special Servicer by the Trustee. Such indemnification shall
survive the resignation or termination of a Special Servicer hereunder, the
resignation or termination of the Trustee and the termination of this Agreement.
The applicable Special Servicer shall not have any responsibility or liability
for any act or omission of the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer or the
Depositor that is not attributable to the failure of such Special Servicer to
perform its obligations hereunder. The applicable Special Servicer may
conclusively rely on any advice of counsel rendered in a Nondisqualification
Opinion.
(b) In servicing and administering the Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans and managing any related REO Properties, the applicable Special Servicer
shall employ procedures consistent with the Servicing Standard. The applicable
Special Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, at the expense of the
Trust, inspections of the Mortgaged Properties relating to Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans at such times and in such manner as shall be consistent with the
Servicing Standard; provided that such Special Servicer shall conduct, or cause
to be conducted, inspections of the Mortgaged Properties relating to Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans at least once during each twelve-month period that ends
on March 30 of any calendar year (commencing with the twelve-month period ending
March 30, 2008); provided, further, that such Special Servicer shall, at the
expense of the Trust, inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property
related to a Mortgage Loan that is delinquent for sixty (60) days in the payment
of any amounts due under such Mortgage Loan. The applicable Special Servicer
shall provide to the applicable Master Servicer and the Operating Adviser copies
of the Inspection Reports relating to such inspections as soon as practicable
after the completion of any inspection.
(c) Pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the
Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan, the owner of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari
Passu Loan has agreed that such owner's rights in, to and under the
Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan are subject to the servicing and all other
rights of the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer and the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer and
the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer and the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer are authorized
and obligated to service and administer the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan
pursuant to the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
the General Special Servicer's obligations and responsibilities hereunder and
the General Special Servicer's authority with respect to the Non-Trust-Serviced
Pari Passu Loan are limited by and subject to the terms of the Co-Lender
Agreement and the rights of the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer and the 2007-HQ11
Special Servicer with respect thereto under the 2007-HQ11 Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The General Special Servicer shall take such actions as it shall deem
reasonably necessary to facilitate the servicing of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pari
Passu Loan by the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer and the 2007-HQ11 Special Servicer
including, but not limited to, delivering appropriate Requests for Release to
the Trustee and Custodian (if any) in order to deliver any portion of the
related Mortgage File to the 2007-HQ11 Master Servicer or the 2007-HQ11 Special

Servicer will within 2 Business Days notify the applicable Master Servicer. The
applicable Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, whether an instrument of satisfaction shall be delivered and, if such

Special Servicer shall deliver written approval of such delivery to the
applicable Master Servicer.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the management of the
related REO Property and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Trustee

furnished to the Trustee by a Special Servicing Officer (in form reasonably

or Custodian shall, upon request of the applicable Special Servicer and delivery
to the Trustee or Custodian of a request for release signed by a Special
Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit C, release the related
Mortgage File to such Special Servicer. After the transfer of servicing with
respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the applicable Special
Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the applicable Master
Servicer shall notify, in writing, the Mortgagor under each Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan transferred to the applicable Special Servicer, of such transfer.
(c) [Reserved]
(d) The applicable Special Servicer shall, with respect to any
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, release to the applicable Master Servicer all
documents and instruments in the possession of such Special Servicer related to
such Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan. Prior to the transfer of servicing with
respect to any Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan to the applicable Master Servicer in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, the applicable Special Servicer shall
notify, in writing, each Mortgagor under each Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan of
such transfer.
Section 9.7 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the Special
Servicers to Be Held for the Trustee

Servicer shall provide access to information and documentation regarding the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, the applicable Master
Servicer, the Operating Adviser and their respective agents and accountants at
any time upon reasonable written request and during normal business hours,
provided that such Special Servicer shall not be required to take any action or
provide any information that such Special Servicer determines will result in any
material cost or expense to which it is not entitled to reimbursement hereunder
or will result in any material liability for which it is not indemnified
hereunder; provided, further, that the Trustee shall be entitled to receive from
the applicable Special Servicer all such information as the Trustee shall
reasonably require to perform their respective duties hereunder. In fulfilling
such a request, the applicable Special Servicer shall not be responsible for
determining whether such information is sufficient for the Trustee's, the
applicable Master Servicer's or the Operating Adviser's purposes.

(or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute

Adviser and the applicable Master Servicer of the occurrence, or the failure to

in any respect.
Section 9.9 Standard Hazard, Flood and Comprehensive General Liability
Insurance Policies
(a) For all REO Property, the applicable Special Servicer shall use
reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to maintain with a
Qualified Insurer a Standard Hazard Insurance Policy which does not provide for
reduction due to depreciation in an amount which is not less than the full
replacement cost of the improvements of such REO Property or in an amount not
less than the unpaid Principal Balance plus all unpaid interest and the
cumulative amount of Servicing Advances (plus Advance Interest) made with
respect to such Mortgage Loan, whichever is less, but, in any event, in an
amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause. If the
improvements to the Mortgaged Property are in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), the applicable
Special Servicer shall maintain a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of the then outstanding
Principal Balance of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and unpaid Advances
(plus Advance Interest) and the maximum insurance coverage required under such
current guidelines. It is understood and agreed that the applicable Special
Servicer has no obligation to obtain earthquake or other additional insurance on
REO Property, except as required by law and, nevertheless, at its sole
discretion and at the Trust's expense, it (if required at origination and is
available at commercially reasonable rates) may obtain such earthquake
insurance. The applicable Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts,
consistent with the Servicing Standard, to obtain a comprehensive general
liability insurance policy for all REO Properties. The applicable Special
Servicer shall, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as
determined by such Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard)
and to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, use its reasonable
efforts to maintain a Rent Loss Policy covering revenues for a period of at
least twelve months and a comprehensive general liability policy with coverage
comparable to prudent lending requirements in an amount not less than $1,000,000
per occurrence. All applicable policies required to be maintained by the
applicable Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 9.9(a) shall name the
Trustee as loss payee. The costs of such insurance shall be paid by the
applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 4.2,
subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.
(b) Any amounts collected by the applicable Special Servicer under any
insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 9.9 (other than amounts
to be applied to the restoration or repair of the REO Property) shall be
deposited into the applicable REO Account. Any cost incurred in maintaining the
insurance required hereby for any REO Property shall be a Servicing Advance,
subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, the applicable Special Servicer shall
not be required in any event to maintain or obtain insurance coverage beyond
what is reasonably available at commercially reasonable rates consistent with
the Servicing Standard. The applicable Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee
of any such determination.
The applicable Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations as set forth in this Section 9.9 either (i) if the
applicable Special Servicer shall have obtained and maintained a master force
placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the
applicable REO Property serviced by it, it being understood and agreed that such
policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to
those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers consistent
with the Servicing Standard, and provided that such policy is issued by a
Qualified Insurer or (ii) if the applicable Special Servicer (or its corporate
parent) self-insures for its obligations, provided that the rating of such
Person's long-term debt is not less than "A" by S&P and Fitch. In the event that
the applicable Special Servicer shall cause any REO Property to be covered by
such a master force placed or blanket insurance policy, the incremental cost of
such insurance allocable to such REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or
standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any REO Property is then
covered thereby), shall be paid by the applicable Special Servicer, at its
option, or by the applicable Master Servicer, as a Servicing Advance, subject to
the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. If such policy contains a deductible
clause, the applicable Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been
maintained on the related REO Property a policy complying with this Section 9.9
and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy,
deposit in the applicable Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable
under such master force placed or blanket insurance policy because of such
deductible clause to the extent that such deductible exceeds (i) the deductible
under the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) if there is no deductible limitation
required under the Mortgage Loan, the deductible amount with respect to
insurance policies generally available on properties similar to the related REO
Property which is consistent with the Servicing Standard, and deliver to the
Trustee an Officer's Certificate describing the calculation of such amount. In
connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the REO
Properties, the applicable Special Servicer agrees to present, on its behalf and
on behalf of the Trustee, claims under any such master force placed or blanket
insurance policy.
Section 9.10 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds
The applicable Special Servicer will prepare and present or cause to be
prepared and presented on behalf of the Trustee all claims under the Insurance
Policies with respect to REO Property, and take such actions (including the
negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured's claim) as
shall be necessary to recover under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the
applicable Special Servicer in respect of such policies shall be promptly
remitted to the applicable Certificate Account, upon receipt, except for any
amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the
applicable REO Property in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Any
extraordinary expenses (but not ordinary and routine or anticipated expenses)
incurred by the applicable Special Servicer in fulfilling its obligations under
this Section 9.10 shall be paid by the Trust.
Section 9.11 Compensation to the Special Servicer
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicers
shall be entitled to (i) the Special Servicing Fee, (ii) the Liquidation Fee and
(iii) the Work-Out Fee. The applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to
receive a Liquidation Fee from the proceeds received in connection with a full
or partial liquidation (net of related costs and expenses of such liquidation)
of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property (whether arising pursuant
to a sale, condemnation, casualty or otherwise). With respect to each REO
Mortgage Loan that is a successor to a Mortgage Loan secured by two or more
Mortgaged Properties, the reference to "REO Property" in the preceding sentence
shall be construed on a property-by-property basis to refer separately to the
acquired real property that is a successor to each of such Mortgaged Properties,
thereby entitling the applicable Special Servicer to a Liquidation Fee from the
Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with a final disposition of, and
Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds received in connection with, each
such acquired property as the Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or
Insurance Proceeds related to that property are received.
(b) The applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to cause the
applicable Master Servicer to withdraw from the applicable Certificate Account,
the Special Servicer Compensation in respect of each Mortgage Loan, in the time
and manner set forth in Section 5.2 of this Agreement. The applicable Special
Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with
its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(c) Additional Special Servicer Compensation in the form of net
interest or income on any REO Account, assumption fees, extension fees,
servicing fees, Modification Fees, forbearance fees, Late Fees and default
interest payable at a rate above the Mortgage Rate (net of amounts used to pay
Advance Interest, Additional Trust Fund Expenses, Special Servicing Fees,
Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees relating to the subject Mortgage Loan as
provided in Section 4.5) or other usual and customary charges and fees actually
received from the Mortgagor in connection with any Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan shall be retained by the applicable Special Servicer, to the extent not
required to be deposited in the applicable Certificate Account pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement (other than any such fees payable in connection with the
Non-Trust-Serviced Pari Passu Loan). The applicable Special Servicer shall also
be permitted to receive such compensation as set forth in Section 5.2(a)(ii), to
the extent provided for herein from funds paid by the applicable Mortgagor. To
the extent any component of Special Servicer Compensation is in respect of
amounts usually and customarily paid by Mortgagors, the applicable Special
Servicer shall use reasonable good faith efforts to collect such amounts from
the related Mortgagor, and to the extent so collected, in full or in part, such
Special Servicer shall not be entitled to compensation for the portion so
collected therefor hereunder out of the Trust.
Section 9.12 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans
(a) The applicable Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard and subject to Sections 9.4(a), 9.36 and 9.39, shall use its reasonable
efforts to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of Mortgaged 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 of
such Mortgage Loan, the sale of such Mortgage Loan in accordance with this
Agreement or the modification of such Mortgage Loan in accordance with this
Agreement. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion of ownership,
the applicable Special Servicer shall follow the Servicing Standard.
(b) The applicable Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal
property relating to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant hereto unless
either:
(i) such personal property is incidental to real property (within the
meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the applicable
Special Servicer; or
(ii) the applicable Special Servicer shall have received a
Nondisqualification Opinion (the cost of which shall be reimbursed by the
Trust) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by any REMIC
Pool will not cause the imposition of a tax on such REMIC Pool under the
Code or cause such REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
applicable Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust, obtain title to a
Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and
shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect
to, any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action the Trust would
be considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be
an "owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of
CERCLA, or any applicable comparable federal, state or local law, or a
"discharger" or "responsible party" thereunder, unless such Special Servicer has
also previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on a
Phase I Environmental Report prepared by a Person (who may be an employee or
Affiliate of the applicable Master Servicer or such Special Servicer) who
regularly conducts environmental site assessments in accordance with the
standards of FNMA in the case of multi-family mortgage loans and customary
servicing practices in the case of commercial loans for environmental
assessments, which report shall be delivered to the Trustee, that:
(i) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
Environmental Laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental
expert that taking such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged
Property in compliance therewith is reasonably likely to produce a greater
recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions;
(ii) taking such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged
Property in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws is reasonably
likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than
pursuing a claim under the Environmental Insurance Policy; and
(iii) there are no circumstances or conditions present or threatened at
such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management, disposal or release
of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or
petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring,
removal, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state
or local law or regulation, or that, if any such materials are present for
which such action could be required, after consultation with an
environmental expert taking such actions with respect to the affected
Mortgaged Property is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a
net present value basis than not taking such actions (after taking into
account the projected costs of such actions); provided, however, that such
compliance pursuant to clause (i) and (ii) above or the taking of such
action pursuant to this clause (iii) shall only be required to the extent
that the cost thereof is a Servicing Advance of the applicable Master
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section
4.4 hereof.
(d) The cost of the Phase I Environmental Report contemplated by
Section 9.12(c) may be treated as a Liquidation Expense, or in the event the
related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is not liquidated and a Final Recovery
Determination has been made with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall treat such cost as a Servicing
Advance subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof; provided that, in the
latter event, the applicable Special Servicer shall use its good faith
reasonable business efforts to recover such cost from the Mortgagor.
(e) If the applicable Special Servicer determines, pursuant to Section
9.12(c), that taking such actions as are necessary to bring any Mortgaged
Property into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, or taking such
actions with respect to the containment, removal, clean-up or remediation of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, is not reasonably likely to
produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such
actions (after taking into account the projected costs of such actions) or than
not pursuing a claim under the Environmental Insurance Policy, then such Special
Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest
of the Trust, including, without limitation, releasing the lien of the related
Mortgage. If the applicable Special Servicer determines that a material
possibility exists that Liquidation Expenses with respect to Mortgaged Property
(taking into account the cost of bringing it into compliance with applicable
Environmental Laws) would exceed the Principal Balance of the related Mortgage
Loan, such Special Servicer shall not attempt to bring such Mortgaged Property
into compliance and shall not acquire title to such Mortgaged Property unless it
has received the written consent of the Trustee to such action.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
applicable Special Servicer shall not foreclose on any Mortgaged Property in
anticipation of pursuing a claim under the related Environmental Insurance
Policy, unless the applicable Special Servicer shall have first reviewed such
Environmental Insurance Policy.
(f) The applicable Special Servicer shall have the right to determine,
in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of maintaining any
action with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, any action to obtain a deficiency judgment with respect to any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
Section 9.13 Foreclosure
In the event that the Trust obtains, through foreclosure on a Mortgage
or otherwise, the right to receive title to a Mortgaged Property, the applicable
Special Servicer, as its agent, shall direct the appropriate party to deliver
title to the REO Property to the Trustee or its nominee.
The applicable Special Servicer may consult with counsel to determine
when an Acquisition Date shall be deemed to occur under the REMIC Provisions
with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the expense of such consultation being
treated as a Servicing Advance related to the foreclosure, subject to the
provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. The applicable Special Servicer, on behalf of
the Trust, shall sell the REO Property expeditiously, but in any event within
the time period, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Section 9.15.
Subject to Section 9.15, the applicable Special Servicer shall manage, conserve,
protect and operate the REO Property for the holders of beneficial interests in
the Trust solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.
Section 9.14 Operation of REO Property
(a) Each Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected
and received in connection with the operation of each REO Property (excluding
the Mortgaged Properties relating to the Non-Trust Serviced Pari Passu Loan)
separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and
maintain with respect to each such REO Property one or more accounts held in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders in the name of "U.S. Bank
National Association, as Trustee for the Holders of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I
Inc. Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc. Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates Series 2007-IQ13" (each, an "REO Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account. Amounts in any REO Account shall be invested in Eligible
Investments. The Special Servicers shall deposit all funds received with respect
to such an REO Property in the applicable REO Accounts within two days of
receipt. The Special Servicers shall account separately for funds received or
expended with respect to each such REO Property. All funds in each REO Account
may be invested only in Eligible Investments. The applicable Special Servicer
shall notify the Trustee and the applicable Master Servicer in writing of the
location and account number of each REO Account and shall notify the Trustee
prior to any subsequent change thereof.
(b) On or before 2:00 p.m. on each Special Servicer Remittance Date,
the applicable Special Servicer shall withdraw from the applicable REO Account
and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the applicable Certificate
Account, the REO Income received or collected during the Collection Period
immediately preceding such Special Servicer Remittance Date on or with respect
to the related REO Properties; provided, however, that (i) the applicable
Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account such portion of such proceeds
and collections as may be necessary to maintain in such REO Account sufficient
funds for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the related REO
Property, including, without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for
repairs, replacements, and necessary capital improvements and other related
expenses. The applicable Special Servicer shall notify the applicable Master
Servicer of all such remittances (and the REO Properties to which the
remittances relate) made into the applicable Certificate Account and (ii) the
applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the REO Account
and pay itself as additional special servicing compensation any interest or net
reinvestment income earned on funds deposited in the applicable REO Account. The
amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be for
the account of the applicable Special Servicer which shall deposit the amount of
such loss (to the extent not offset by income from other investments) in the
applicable REO Account, out of its own funds immediately as realized. If the
applicable Special Servicer deposits in any REO Account any amount not required
to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such REO
Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) If the Trust acquires the Mortgaged Property, the applicable
Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, in consultation with the
Operating Adviser, and subject to the specific requirements and prohibitions of
this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection therewith as are
consistent with the Servicing Standard, subject to the REMIC Provisions, and in
such manner as the applicable Special Servicer deems to be in the best interest
of the Trust, and, consistent therewith, may advance from its own funds to pay
for the following items (which amounts shall be reimbursed by the applicable
Master Servicer or the Trust subject to Sections 4.4 in accordance with Section
4.6(d)), to the extent such amounts cannot be paid from REO Income:
(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 could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien
thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain, operate, lease and
sell such REO Property (other than capital expenditures).
(d) The applicable Special Servicer may, and to the extent necessary to
(i) preserve the status of the REO Property as "foreclosure property" under the
REMIC Provisions or (ii) avoid the imposition of a tax on "income from
nonpermitted assets" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, shall contract
with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of the REO
Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
inconsistent herewith;
(ii) the terms of such contract shall be consistent with the provisions
of Section 856 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-4(b)(5);
(iii) only to the extent consistent with (ii) above, any such contract
shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent
Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
operation and management of such Mortgaged Property underlying the REO
Property and (B) deposit on a daily basis all amounts payable to the Trust
in accordance with the contract between the Trust and the Independent
Contractor in an Eligible Account;
(iv) none of the provisions of this Section 9.14 relating to any such
contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall
be deemed to relieve the applicable Special Servicer of any of its duties
and obligations to the Trustee with respect to the operation and management
of any such REO Property;
(v) if the Independent Contractor is an Affiliate of the applicable
Special Servicer, the consent of the Operating Adviser and a
Nondisqualification Opinion must be obtained; and
(vi) the applicable Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect
thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and
obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property.
(e) The applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any
agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for the Trust
pursuant to this subsection (d) for indemnification of such Special Servicer by
such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
limit or modify such indemnification. All fees of the Independent Contractor
(other than fees paid for performing services within the ordinary duties of the
Special Servicer which shall be paid by such Special Servicer) shall be paid
from the income derived from the REO Property. To the extent that the income
from the REO Property is insufficient, such fees shall be advanced by the
applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance, subject to the provisions of
Section 4.4 and Section 4.6(d) hereof.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special
Servicers shall not rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of the Trust
or the beneficial owners thereof with respect to REO Property (excluding the
Mortgaged Properties relating to the Non-Trust Serviced Pari Passu Loan) which
might cause the REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (without giving effect to the
final sentence thereof) or result in the receipt by any REMIC of any "income
from nonpermitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code
or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to tax under the
REMIC Provisions unless (i) the Trustee and the applicable Special Servicer have
received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust's sole expense) to the effect that,
under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation, any income
generated for REMIC I by the REO Property would not result in the imposition of
a tax upon REMIC I or (ii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the
applicable Special Servicer determines the income or earnings with respect to
such REO Property will offset any tax under the REMIC Provisions relating to
such income or earnings and will maximize the net recovery from the REO Property
to the Certificateholders. The applicable Special Servicer shall notify the
Trustee and the applicable Master Servicer of any election by it to incur such
tax, and such Special Servicer (i) shall hold in escrow in an Eligible Account
an amount equal to the tax payable thereby from revenues collected from the
related REO Property, (ii) provide the Trustee with all information for the
Trustee to file the necessary tax returns in connection therewith and (iii) upon
request from the Trustee, pay from such account to the Trustee the amount of the
applicable tax. The Trustee shall file the applicable tax returns based on the
information supplied by the applicable Special Servicer and pay the applicable
tax from the amounts collected by such Special Servicer.
Subject to, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
applicable Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall not:
(i) permit the Trust to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with
respect to the REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to
any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease
other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize or permit any construction on the REO Property, other
than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then
only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other
improvement was completed before default on the Mortgage Loan became
imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) Directly Operate, other than through an Independent Contractor, or
allow any other Person to Directly Operate, other than through an
Independent Contractor, the REO Property on any date more than 90 days after
the Acquisition Date; unless, in any such case, the applicable Special
Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of Counsel at the Trust's
sole expense to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property
to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code (without giving effect to the final sentence thereof)
at any time that it is held by the applicable REMIC Pool, in which case the
applicable Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such
Opinion of Counsel.
Section 9.15 Sale of REO Property
(a) In the event that title to any REO Property (excluding the
Mortgaged Properties relating to the Non-Trust Serviced Pari Passu Loan) is
acquired by the Trust in respect of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the
deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trust, the Trustee or to its
nominees. The applicable Special Servicer, after notice to the Operating
Adviser, shall sell any REO Property as soon as practicable consistent with the
objective of maximizing proceeds for all Certificateholders, but in no event
later than the end of the third calendar year following the end of the year of
its acquisition, and in any event prior to the Final Rated Distribution Date,
unless (i) the Trustee, on behalf of the applicable REMIC Pool, has been granted
an extension of time (an "Extension") (which extension shall be applied for at
least 60 days prior to the expiration of the period specified above) by the
Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property (a copy of which shall be
delivered to the Trustee upon request), in which case the applicable Special
Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market
value for such period longer than the period specified above as such Extension
permits or (ii) the applicable Special Servicer seeks and subsequently receives,
at the expense of the Trust, a Nondisqualification Opinion, addressed to the
Trustee and such Special Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust
of such REO Property subsequent to the period specified above after its
acquisition will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of a REMIC, as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, or cause
the related REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding. If the Trustee has not received an Extension or
such Opinion of Counsel and the applicable Special Servicer is not able to sell
such REO Property within the period specified above, or if an Extension has been
granted and the applicable Special Servicer is unable to sell such REO Property
within the extended time period, the applicable Special Servicer shall, after
consultation with the Operating Adviser, before the end of such period or
extended period, as the case may be, auction the REO Property to the highest
bidder (which may be the applicable Special Servicer) in accordance with the
Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if an Interested Person intends to
bid on the REO Property, (i) the applicable Special Servicer (or, if such
Interested Person is the applicable Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the
applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee) shall promptly obtain, at the expense
of the Trust, an Appraisal of such REO Property (or internal valuation in
accordance with the procedures specified in Section 6.9) and (ii) the Interested
Person shall not bid less than the fair market value set forth in such
Appraisal. The Depositor may not purchase REO Property at a price in excess of
the fair market value thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Interested Person shall be permitted
to purchase the REO Property at a price less than an amount equal to the fair
value of the REO Property, as determined by the applicable Special Servicer (or,
if such Interested Person is the applicable Special Servicer or an Affiliate of
the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee). Prior to the applicable Special
Servicer's or Trustee's, as applicable, determination of fair value referred to
above, the fair value of an REO Property shall be deemed to be an amount equal
to the Purchase Price. The applicable Special Servicer or Trustee, as
applicable, shall determine the fair value of an REO Property as soon as
reasonably practical after receipt of notice of an Interested Party's desire to
purchase such REO Property, and such Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable,
shall promptly notify such Interested Party (and the Trustee, if applicable) of
the fair value. The applicable Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, is
required to recalculate the fair value of the REO Property if there has been a
material change in circumstances or the applicable Special Servicer or Trustee,
as applicable, has received new information (including the receipt of a third
party bid to purchase the REO Property), either of which has a material effect
on the fair value, provided that such Special Servicer or Trustee, as
applicable, shall be required to recalculate the fair value of the REO Property
if the time between the date of last determination of the fair value of the REO
Property and the date of the purchase of the REO Property by such Interested
Party has exceeded 60 days. Upon any recalculation, the applicable Special
Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall be required to promptly notify in
writing such Interested Party (and the Trustee, if applicable) of the revised
fair value. In determining fair value, the applicable Special Servicer or
Trustee, as applicable, shall take into account, among other factors, the
results of any appraisal or updated appraisal that it or the applicable Master
Servicer may have obtained in accordance with this Agreement within the prior
twelve months; the physical condition of the REO Property; the state of the
local economy; any other bids received with respect to the REO Property; and the
Trust's obligation to dispose of any REO Property as soon as practicable
consistent with the objective of maximizing proceeds for all Certificateholders,
but in no event later than the three-year period (or such extended period)
specified in this Section 9.15. In performing its obligations under this Section
9.15(a), each Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, may, at the
expense of the party desiring to purchase the REO Property, engage an appraiser
or other expert in real estate matters to determine the fair value of an REO
Property and may rely conclusively upon such Person's determination, which
determination shall take into account the factors set forth in the preceding
sentence.
(b) Within 30 days of the sale of the REO Property, the applicable
Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee and the applicable Master Servicer
a statement of accounting for such REO Property, including without limitation,
(i) the Acquisition Date for the REO Property, (ii) the date of disposition of
the REO Property, (iii) the sale price and related selling and other expenses,
(iv) accrued interest (including interest deemed to have accrued) on the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to which the REO Property related, calculated
from the Acquisition Date to the disposition date, (v) final property operating
statements, and (vi) such other information as the Trustee may reasonably
request in writing.
(c) The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO
Property shall be deposited in the applicable Certificate Account within one
Business Day of receipt.
Section 9.16 Realization on Collateral Security
In connection with the enforcement of the rights of the Trust to any
property securing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan other than the related
Mortgaged Property, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with counsel
to determine how best to enforce such rights in a manner consistent with the
REMIC Provisions and shall not, based on a Nondisqualification Opinion addressed
to the applicable Special Servicer and the Trustee (the cost of which shall be
an expense of the Trust) take any action that could result in the failure of any
REMIC Pool to qualify as a REMIC while any Certificates are outstanding, unless
such action has been approved by a vote of 100% of each Class of
Certificateholders (including the Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III
Certificateholders).
Section 9.17 [Reserved]
Section 9.18 [Reserved]
Section 9.19 [Reserved]
Section 9.20 Merger or Consolidation
Any Person into which a Special Servicer may be merged or consolidated,
or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or
consolidation to which such Special Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to substantially all of the servicing business of such Special
Servicer, shall be the successor of such Special Servicer hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto; provided, however, that each of the Rating Agencies provides a
Rating Agency Confirmation. If the conditions to the proviso in the foregoing
sentence are not met, the Trustee may terminate, and if the conditions to the
proviso in the following paragraph are not met, the Trustee shall terminate,
such Special Servicer's servicing of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
pursuant hereto, such termination to be effected in the manner set forth in
Section 9.31.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Trust is subject to
the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, neither Special Servicer may
remain a Special Servicer under this Agreement after (x) being merged or
consolidated with or into any Person that is a Prohibited Party, or (y)
transferring all or substantially all of its assets to any Person if such Person
is a Prohibited Party, except to the extent (i) such Special Servicer is the
surviving entity of such merger, consolidation or transfer or (ii) the Depositor
consents to such merger, consolidation or transfer, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
Section 9.21 Resignation of the Special Servicer
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.20 or this Section 9.21,
a Special Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it unless it determines that such Special Servicer's duties hereunder
are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by
reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of a Special Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the applicable
Master Servicer, the Operating Adviser and the Trustee. No such resignation
shall become effective until a successor servicer designated by the Operating
Adviser and the Trustee shall have (i) assumed such Special Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement and (ii) Rating Agency
Confirmation shall have been obtained. Notice of such resignation shall be given
promptly by the applicable Special Servicer to the applicable Master Servicer
and the Trustee.
(b) A Special Servicer may resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it, upon 30 days notice to the Trustee, provided that (i) a
successor Special Servicer is (x) available, (y) reasonably acceptable to the
Operating Adviser, the Depositor, and the Trustee, and (z) willing to assume the
obligations, responsibilities and covenants to be performed hereunder by the
applicable Special Servicer on substantially the same terms and conditions, and
for not more than equivalent compensation as that herein provided, (ii) the
successor Special Servicer has assets of at least $15,000,000 and (iii) Rating
Agency Confirmation is obtained with respect to such resignation, as evidenced
by a letter from each Rating Agency delivered to the Trustee. Any costs of such
resignation and of obtaining a replacement Special Servicer shall be borne by
the applicable Special Servicer and shall not be an expense of the Trust.
(c) No such resignation under paragraph (b) above shall become
effective unless and until such successor Special Servicer enters into a
servicing agreement with the Trustee assuming the obligations and
responsibilities of the applicable Special Servicer hereunder in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.
(d) Upon any resignation or termination of a Special Servicer, it shall
retain the right to receive any and all Work-Out Fees payable in respect of (i)
Mortgage Loans for which it acted as Special Servicer that became Rehabilitated
Mortgage Loans during the period that it acted as Special Servicer and that were
still Rehabilitated Mortgage Loans at the time of such resignation or
termination or (ii) any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan for which such Special
Servicer has cured the event of default under such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by such Special
Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time
such Special Servicer was terminated, become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan
solely because it had not been a performing loan for 90 consecutive days and
which subsequently becomes a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan as a result of the loan
being a performing loan for such 90 consecutive day period (and the successor
Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such Work-Out Fees), in
each case until such time (if any) as such Mortgage Loan again becomes a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or are no longer included in the Trust or if
the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property.
Section 9.22 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Special
Servicers
Each Special Servicer shall have the right without the prior written
consent of the Trustee to (A) delegate or subcontract with or authorize or
appoint anyone, or delegate certain duties to other professionals such as
attorneys and appraisers, as an agent of such Special Servicer or Sub-Servicers
(as provided in Section 9.3) to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or
obligations to be performed and carried out by such Special Servicer hereunder
or (B) assign and delegate all of its duties hereunder to a single Person. In
the case of any such assignment and delegation in accordance with the
requirements of clause (A) of this Section, such Special Servicer shall not be
released from its obligations under this Agreement. In the case of any such
assignment and delegation in accordance with the requirements of clause (B) of
this Section, the applicable Special Servicer shall be released from its
obligations under this Agreement, except that such Special Servicer shall remain
liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it as such Special
Servicer hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i)
such Special Servicer gives the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the
Operating Adviser and the Trustee notice of such assignment and delegation; (ii)
such purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation executes
and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such
assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of such Special Servicer,
with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; (iii) the
purchaser or transferee has assets in excess of $15,000,000; (iv) such
assignment and delegation is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation; and
(v) the Depositor consents to such assignment and delegation, such consent not
be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the above, a Special Servicer may
appoint Sub-Servicers in accordance with Section 9.39 hereof.
Section 9.23 Limitation on Liability of the Special Servicers and
Others
(a) Neither any Special Servicer nor any of the partners,
representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, directors, officers, employees
or agents of such Special Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Certificateholders or the Trustee for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action in good faith and using reasonable business judgment,
consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided that this provision shall not
protect a Special Servicer or any such Person against any breach of a
representation or warranty contained herein or any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in its performance of duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Special Servicers and any partner,
representative, Affiliate, member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent
of the Special Servicers may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person (including, without
limitation, the information and reports delivered by or at the direction of the
applicable Master Servicer or any partner, representative, Affiliate, member,
manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the applicable Master Servicer)
respecting any matters arising hereunder. A Special Servicer shall not be under
any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not
incidental to its duties to service the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in
accordance with this Agreement; provided that such Special Servicer may in its
sole discretion undertake any such action which it may reasonably deem necessary
or desirable in order to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the
Trustee in the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. In such event, all legal
expenses and costs of such action (other than those that are connected with the
routine performance by a Special Servicer of its duties hereunder) shall be
expenses and costs of the Trust, and a Special Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor as provided by Section 5.2 hereof. Notwithstanding any term
in this Agreement, a Special Servicer shall not be relieved from the requirement
that it act in accordance with the Servicing Standard by virtue of taking any
action at the direction of the Operating Adviser and shall not be relieved from
liability otherwise imposed on the Special Servicers pursuant to Section 6.3 of
this Agreement.
(b) In addition, a Special Servicer shall have no liability with
respect to, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or
opinions furnished to such Special Servicer and conforming to the requirements
of this Agreement. Neither of the Special Servicers, nor any partner,
representative, Affiliate, member, manager, director, officer, employee or
agent, shall be personally liable for any error of judgment made in good faith
by any officer, unless it shall be proved that such Special Servicer or such
officer was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. Neither the Special
Servicers, nor any partner, representative, Affiliate, member, manager,
director, officer, employee or agent, shall be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this
Agreement. A Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on reports and
information supplied to it by the applicable Master Servicer and the related
Mortgagors and shall have no duty to investigate or confirm the accuracy of any
such report or information.
(c) A Special Servicer shall not be obligated to incur any liabilities,
costs, charges, fees or other expenses which relate to or arise from any breach
of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Depositor, the
applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee in this Agreement. The Trust shall
indemnify and hold harmless such Special Servicer from any and all claims,
liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which relate to or arise
from any such breach of representation, warranty or covenant to the extent such
amounts are not recoverable from the party committing such breach.
(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein:
(i) a Special Servicer may rely, and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer's certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other
paper or document (in paper or electronic format) believed or in good faith
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties;

advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of
Counsel;
(iii) a Special Servicer shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Agreement; and
(iv) a Special Servicer, in preparing any reports hereunder, may rely,
and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
information (financial or other), statement, certificate, document,
agreement, covenant, notice, request or other paper (in paper or electronic
format) reasonably believed or in good faith believed by it to be genuine.
(e) Each Special Servicer and any partner, representative, Affiliate,
member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of such Special Servicer
shall be indemnified by the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Paying Agent, as the case may be, and held harmless against any and all claims,
losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments,
and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with
any legal action or claim relating to the applicable Master Servicer's, the
Trustee's or the Paying Agent's, as the case may be, respective willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its respective duties
hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard by such Person of its respective
duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason
of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of
such Special Servicer's duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of
such Special Servicer's obligations and duties hereunder. Each Special Servicer
shall promptly notify the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Paying
Agent, if a claim is made by a third party entitling a Special Servicer to
indemnification hereunder, whereupon the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee
or the Paying Agent, in each case, to the extent the claim was made in
connection with its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, shall assume
the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Special Servicer). Any failure to so notify the applicable Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Paying Agent, shall not affect any rights a Special Servicer may
have to indemnification hereunder or otherwise, unless the interest of the
applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Paying Agent is materially
prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of a Special
Servicer. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
resignation or removal of such Special Servicer hereunder. Any payment hereunder
made by the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the
case may be, pursuant to this paragraph to the applicable Special Servicer shall
be paid from the applicable Master Servicer's, the Trustee's or the Paying
Agent's, as the case may be, own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust
therefor, except achieved through subrogation as provided in this Agreement. Any
expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the Trustee, the Paying
Agent or the applicable Master Servicer shall be reimbursed by the party so paid
if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final judgment that the conduct of
the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the applicable Master Servicer, as the case may
be, was not culpable of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of its respective duties hereunder or of negligent disregard of its
respective duties hereunder or the indemnified party is found to have acted with
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

Trust shall pay, from amounts on deposit in the applicable Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 5.2, all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel
fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may
be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. The indemnification
provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
termination or resignation of such Special Servicer. Any expenses incurred or

misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.
(b) Each Special Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust, and the
Trustee, the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the Paying Agent and any

Trustee, the Depositor, the Paying Agent or the applicable Master Servicer, as
the case may be) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel
fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may
be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify
such Special Servicer shall not affect any rights the Trust or the Trustee, the

Trustee. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by such Special
Servicer shall be reimbursed by the party so paid, if a court of competent
jurisdiction makes a final, non-appealable judgment that the conduct of such
Special Servicer was not culpable of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of its respective duties hereunder or of negligent

Section 9.26 Special Servicers May Own Certificates
A Special Servicer or any agent of such Special Servicer in its
individual capacity or in any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Certificates with the same rights as it would have if they were not a Special
Servicer or such agent. Any such interest of the Special Servicer or such agent
in the Certificates shall not be taken into account when evaluating whether

accordance with the Servicing Standard regardless of whether such actions may
have the effect of benefiting the Class or Classes of Certificates owned by such
Special Servicer.
Section 9.27 Tax Reporting
The Special Servicers shall notify the Master Servicers of (i) any
abandoned Mortgaged Property, (ii) any foreclosure upon a Mortgaged Property or

Servicers to allow the Master Servicers to comply with the Mortgagor tax
reporting requirements imposed by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code

shall provide to the Master Servicers copies of any such reports. The Master
Servicers shall forward such reports to the Trustee.

Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any (but not including REO Income, which
shall be deposited in the applicable REO Account as provided in Section 9.14
hereof), forward such payment (endorsed, if applicable, to the order of the
applicable Master Servicer) to the applicable Master Servicer. Such Special

Mortgage Loan to which the amount is to be applied and the type of payment made
by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor.

plan of complete liquidation. The Special Servicers shall not take any action or
(A) cause any REMIC Pool to take any action that would (i) endanger the status
of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC or the status of the Class EI Grantor Trust as a
grantor trust or (ii) subject to Section 9.14(f), result in the imposition of a
tax upon any REMIC Pool (including, but not limited to, the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or on prohibited
contributions pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code) or (B) cause the Class EI
Grantor Trust to take any action that could (i) endanger its status as a grantor

action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status
or result in the imposition of such tax. The Special Servicers shall comply with

Section 9.34 [Reserved]
Section 9.35 [Reserved]
Section 9.36 Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans
(a) The applicable Special Servicer and the holder of Certificates
evidencing the greatest percentage interest in the Controlling Class (each in
such capacity, together with any assignee, the "Option Holder") shall, in that
order, have the right, at its option (the "Option"), to purchase a Mortgage Loan
(other than the Non-Trust Serviced Pari Passu Loan) from the Trust at a price
equal to the Option Purchase Price upon receipt of notice from the applicable
Special Servicer that such Mortgage Loan has become at least 60 days delinquent
as to any monthly debt service payment (or is 90 days delinquent as to its
Balloon Payment). The Option is exercisable, subject to the related Seller's
right (after receiving notice from the Trustee that an Option Holder intends to
exercise its Option) set forth in Section 2.3 to first repurchase such Mortgage
Loan, from that date until terminated pursuant to clause (e) below, and during
that period the Option shall be exercisable in any month only during the period
from the 10th calendar day of such month through the 25th calendar day,
inclusive, of such month. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be obligated
to sell such Mortgage Loan upon the exercise of the Option (whether exercised by
the original holder thereof or by a holder that acquired such Option by
assignment), but shall have no authority to sell such Mortgage Loan other than
in connection with the exercise of an Option (or in connection with a repurchase
of a Mortgage Loan under Article II, an optional termination pursuant to Section
10.1 or a qualified liquidation of the REMIC Pools). Any Option Holder that
exercises the Option shall be required to purchase the applicable Mortgage Loan
within 4 Business Days following such exercise. If any Option Holder desires to
waive its right to exercise the Option, then it shall so notify the Trustee in
writing, and the Trustee shall promptly notify the next party eligible to hold
the Option set forth above of its rights hereunder. Any of the other parties
eligible to hold the Option set forth above may at any time notify the Trustee
in writing of its desire to exercise the Option, and the Trustee shall promptly
notify the current Option Holder (and the other parties eligible to hold the
Option) of such party's desire to exercise the Option. If the Option Holder
neither (i) exercises the Option nor (ii) surrenders its right to exercise the
Option within 3 Business Days of its receipt of that notice, then the Option
Holder's right to exercise the Option shall lapse, and the Trustee shall
promptly notify the next party eligible to hold the Option (and the other
parties eligible to hold the Option) of its rights thereunder.
(b) The "Option Purchase Price" shall be an amount equal to the fair
value of the related Mortgage Loan, as determined by the applicable Special
Servicer upon the request of any holder of the Option. The reasonable,
out-of-pocket expenses of each Special Servicer incurred in connection with any
such determination of the fair value of a Mortgage Loan shall be payable and
reimbursed to such Special Servicer as an expense of the Trust. Prior to the
applicable Special Servicer's determination of fair value referred to above, the
fair value of a Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the
Purchase Price plus (i) any prepayment penalty or yield maintenance charge then
payable upon the prepayment of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the reasonable fees
and expenses of the applicable Special Servicer, the applicable Master Servicer
and the Trustee incurred in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loan. The
applicable Special Servicer shall determine the fair value of a Mortgage Loan on
the later of (A) as soon as reasonably practical upon the Mortgage Loan becoming
60 days delinquent or upon the Balloon Payment becoming delinquent and (B) the
date that is 75 days after the applicable Special Servicer's receipt of the
Servicer Mortgage File relating to such Mortgage Loan, and such Special Servicer
shall promptly notify the Option Holder (and the Trustee and each of the other
parties set forth above that could become the Option Holder) of the Option
Purchase Price. The applicable Special Servicer is required to recalculate the
fair value of the Mortgage Loan if there has been a material change in
circumstances or the applicable Special Servicer has received new information,
including the receipt of a third party bid to purchase the Option, which has a
material effect on the fair value, provided that such Special Servicer shall be
required to recalculate the fair value of the Mortgage Loan if the time between
the date of last determination of the fair value of the Mortgage Loan and the
date of the exercise of the Option has exceeded 60 days. Upon any recalculation,
the applicable Special Servicer shall be required to promptly notify in writing
each Option Holder (and the Trustee and each of the other parties set forth
above that could become the Option Holder) of the revised Option Purchase Price.
Any such recalculation of the fair value of the Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to
renew the Option in its original priority at the recalculated price with respect
to any party as to which the Option had previously expired or
