Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 11, 1999, among
Asset Securitization Corporation, as Depositor, BNY Asset Solutions LLC, as
Servicer, Lennar Partners, Inc., as Initial Special Servicer, LaSalle Bank
National Association, as Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
(Terms used but not defined in this Preliminary Statement shall have
the meanings specified in Article I hereof.)
The Depositor intends that the Geneva Crossing Loan and the Xxxxx X.
Xxxxxx Loan be held as assets of single-loan REMICs (each, a "Loan REMIC"), that
the related Loan REMIC Regular Interests be held as assets of the Lower-Tier
REMIC (defined below), and that the Loan REMIC Residual Interests be held by the
Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Class LR Certificates. The Depositor
intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple
Classes which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans. As
provided herein, the Trustee will elect that the Trust Fund, exclusive of the
Loan REMICs, the Loan REMIC Residual Interests, the Excess Interest, the Excess
Interest Distribution Account, the Repurchase Return of Premium Amount and the
Repurchase Price Return of Premium Distribution Account, (such portion of the
Trust Fund, the "Trust REMICs"), be treated for federal income tax purposes as
two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a "REMIC" or, in
the alternative, the "Lower-Tier REMIC" and the "Upper-Tier REMIC,"
respectively). The Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class X-0, Xxxxx XX-0, 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 Q-1 and Class Q-2 Certificates represent "regular
interests" in the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Class R Certificates represent the
sole Class of "residual interests" in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions. The Class LR Certificates represent the sole Class of
"residual interests" in the Lower-Tier REMIC and in each of the Loan REMIC
Residual Interests for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. There are also 18
Classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests issued under this
Agreement (the Class A-1-LA, Class A-1-LB, Class A-2-L, Class A-3-L, Class X-X,
Class C-L, Class D-L, Class E-L, Class F-L, Class G-L, Class H-L, Class X-X,
Class K-L, Class L-L, Class M-L, Class N-L, Class Q-1-L and Class Q-2-L
Interests), each of which will constitute a regular interest in the Lower-Tier
REMIC. All such Lower-Tier Regular Interests will be held by the Trustee as
assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC. The parties intend (i) that the portions of the
Trust Fund representing the Loan REMIC Residual Interests, the Excess Interest,
the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Repurchase Return of Premium
Amount, and the Repurchase Price Return of Premium Distribution Account will be
treated as a grantor trust under Subpart E of Part 1 of Subchapter J of the
Code, (ii) that the Class X Certificates represent pro rata undivided beneficial
interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the right to receive
the Repurchase Return of Premium Amount and the Repurchase Price Return of
Premium Distribution Account and (iii) that the Class A-2, Class A-3, 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 Q-1 and Class Q-2 Certificates represent pro rata
undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of
the Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account based upon
their respective initial Certificate Balances.
The following table sets forth the designation and aggregate initial
Certificate Balance (or, with respect to the Class X and Class CS-1
Certificates, Class X and Class CS-1 Notional Balance, respectively) for each
Class of Certificates comprising regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

----------------------------
(1) The initial Notional Balance of Class X Certificates is equal to the
aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Sequential Certificates as of the
Cut-off Date.
(2) The initial Notional Balance of the Class CS-1 Certificates is equal to
$48,000,000 (the initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates minus
$77,650,000).
(3) Rating Agencies (Fitch/Xxxxx'x/S&P).
Each of the Class R and Class LR Certificates do not have a
Certificate Balance or a notional balance. The Certificate Balance of any Class
of Certificates outstanding at any time represents the maximum amount which
holders thereof are entitled to receive as distributions allocable to principal
from the cash flow on the Mortgage Loans and the other assets in the Trust Fund;
provided, however, that in the event that amounts previously allocated as
Realized Losses to a Class of Certificates in reduction of the Certificate
Balance thereof are subsequently recovered (including without limitation after
the reduction of the Certificate Balance of such Class to zero), such Class may
receive distributions in respect of such recoveries in accordance with the
priorities set forth in Section 4.01.
As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans have an aggregate Stated
Principal Balance equal to approximately $775,180,294.27.
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent
agree as follows:

respect to any Mortgage Loan with an outstanding principal balance less than

performed by the Special Servicer of the Mortgaged Properties securing such

Reduction Event, the Special Servicer shall obtain an Updated Appraisal. If no
Updated Appraisal has been received within 60 days after the first Distribution
Date as of which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred in respect of any
Mortgage Loan, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for such Mortgage Loan shall be
equal to 30% of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the

adjust the Appraisal Reduction Amount to take into account such appraisal
(regardless of whether the adjusted Appraisal Reduction Amount is higher or
lower than the Special Servicer's Appraisal Reduction Amount Estimate) and (ii)
give written notice to the Servicer setting forth such adjusted Appraisal
Reduction Amount. Each Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be adjusted to take
into account any subsequent Updated Appraisal and annual letter updates, as of
the date of each such subsequent Updated Appraisal or letter update. The Special
Servicer shall, not later than 15 days after its receipt thereof, deliver copies
of all appraisals and Updated Appraisals to the Servicer.
"Appraisal Reduction Event": With respect to any Mortgage Loan, the
first Distribution Date following the earliest of (i) the third anniversary of

becomes effective as a result of a modification of such Mortgage Loan by the
Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, which extension does not change
the amount of Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Loan, (ii) 60 days after an
uncured Delinquency (without regard to the application of any grace period)
occurs in respect of such Mortgage Loan, (iii) the date on which a reduction in
the amount of Monthly Payments on such Mortgage Loan, or a change in any other
material economic term of such Mortgage Loan (other than an extension of the
Maturity Date), becomes effective as a result of a modification of such Mortgage
Loan by the Special Servicer, (iv) the date a receiver has been appointed, (v)
the date a Borrower declares bankruptcy or 60 days after the Borrower becomes
the subject of involuntary bankruptcy proceedings and such proceedings are not
dismissed, (vi) the date a Mortgage Loan becomes an REO Mortgage Loan, (vii) 60
days after a default in the payment of a Balloon Payment, or (viii) any other
event which, in the discretion of the Special Servicer and of which the Special
Servicer becomes aware in performing its obligations hereunder, in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, would materially and adversely impair the value of
a Mortgaged Property as security for the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer
shall notify the Special Servicer within five (5) Business Days of its becoming
aware of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events.
"ARD Loan": A Mortgage Loan that bears interest at its Mortgage Rate
until, or within three months after, its Anticipated Repayment Date, after which
it will bear interest at its Revised Mortgage Rate.
"Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits": With respect to any
Mortgaged Property, any assignment of leases, rents and profits or similar
agreement executed by the Borrower, assigning to the mortgagee all of the
income, rents and profits derived from the ownership, operation, leasing or
disposition of all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property, in the form which
was duly executed, acknowledged and delivered, as amended, modified, renewed or
extended through the date hereof and from time to time hereafter.
"Assignment of Mortgage": An assignment of Mortgage without
recourse, notice of transfer or equivalent instrument, in recordable form, which
is sufficient under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged
Property is located to reflect of record the sale of the Mortgage, which
assignment, notice of transfer or equivalent instrument may be in the form of
one or more blanket assignments covering Mortgages encumbering Mortgaged
Properties located in the same jurisdiction, if permitted by law and acceptable
for recording; provided, however, that none of the Trustee, the Custodian, the
Special Servicer or the Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether
any assignment is legally sufficient or in recordable form.
"Assumed Final Distribution Date": With respect to each Class of
Certificates shall be as follows:

Class outstanding is the "Fixed Voting Rights Percentage"), provided that upon
the reduction of the Notional Amount of the Class CS-1 Certificates to zero, the
Voting Rights of the Class CS-1 Certificates will be reduced to zero and the
Voting Rights of the Class X Certificates will be increased to 1.00%; (c) in the
case of any of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, 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 Q-1 and Class Q-2 Certificates, a percentage equal to the product of (i)
100% minus the Fixed Voting Rights Percentage multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the
numerator of which is equal to the aggregate outstanding Certificate Balance of
any such Class and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate
outstanding Certificate Balances of all Classes of Certificates. The Voting
Rights of any Class of Certificates shall be allocated among Holders of
Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests, except that any Certificate beneficially owned by the Depositor, the
Servicer, any Borrower, the Trustee (in its individual capacity), a Manager, or
any of their respective Affiliates will be deemed not to be outstanding for
voting purposes; provided, however, that for purposes of obtaining the consent
of Certificateholders to an amendment to this Agreement, any Certificate
beneficially owned by the Servicer or Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof
will be deemed to be outstanding to the extent that such amendment does not
relate to an increase in the compensation of the Servicer, Special Servicer or
otherwise benefit such entity or an Affiliate (other than solely in its capacity
as Certificateholder) in any material respect; and provided, further, that for
purposes of obtaining the consent of Certificateholders to any action proposed
to be taken by the Special Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, any Certificate beneficially owned by the Servicer or an
Affiliate thereof, will be deemed to be outstanding if the Special Servicer is
not the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof. The Certificates beneficially owned by
the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof shall be deemed outstanding for
purposes of identifying the Directing Holders. The Voting Rights of each Class
of Certificates will be deemed to be reduced on any day on which an Appraisal
Reduction Amount is allocated to such Class pursuant to Section 4.01(h). The
Fixed Voting Rights Percentage of the Class CS-1 and Class X Certificates shall
be proportionally reduced upon the allocation of Appraisal Reduction Amounts
with respect to any component of such Classes based on the amount of such
reduction.
"Watch List": A report substantially containing the content
described in Exhibit M-6 attached hereto, setting forth, among other things, any
Mortgage Loan that is in jeopardy of becoming a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan.
"Weighted Average Net Mortgage Pass-Through Rate": With respect to
any Distribution Date, a per annum rate equal to the fraction (expressed as a
percentage), the numerator of which is the sum of the products obtained by
multiplying for each Mortgage Loan, (i) the Net Mortgage Pass-Through Rate for
such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan
as of the day immediately preceding such Distribution Date, and the denominator
of which is the sum of the Stated Principal Balances of all such Mortgage Loans
immediately preceding such Distribution Date; provided, that in the case of the
Geneva Crossing Loan and the Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx Loan, "Mortgage Loan" shall refer
to the related Loan REMIC Regular Interest.
"Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate": With respect to any
Distribution Date, a fraction (expressed as a percentage), the numerator of
which is the sum of (i) the sum of the products of (A) the Pass-Through Rate
with respect to each Class of Sequential Certificates and (B) the Certificate
Balance of such Class as of the first day of such Interest Accrual Period, and
(ii) the product of (A) the Pass-Through Rate on the Class CS-1 Certificates and
(B) the Notional Balance of such Class as of such date and the denominator of
which is the sum of the Certificate Balances of each Class included in clause
(i)(A) above as of such date (provided in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), any
reductions in Certificate Balance as a result of distributions or allocations of
Realized Losses to such Class, respectively, occurring in an Interest Accrual
Period shall be deemed to have been made on the first day of such Interest
Accrual Period).
"Withheld Amounts": As defined in Section 3.27(a).
"Work Out Fee": As defined in Section 3.12(b)(i).
Section 1.02 Certain Calculations.
Unless otherwise specified herein, the following provisions shall
apply:
(a) All calculations of interest with respect to the Mortgage
Loans (other than the Actual/360 Mortgage Loans) and of Advances (other than
with respect to Actual/360 Mortgage Loans) provided for herein shall be made on
the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. All calculations
of interest and of Advances, in each case, with respect to the Actual/360
Mortgage Loans, provided for herein shall be made as set forth in such Mortgage
Loans with respect to the calculation of the related Mortgage Rate.
(b) Any Mortgage Loan payment is deemed to be received on the date
such payment is actually received by the Servicer or the Trustee; provided,
however, that for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates,
Principal Prepayments with respect to any Mortgage Loan are deemed to be
received on the date they are applied in accordance with Section 3.01(b) to
reduce the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan on which interest
accrues.
(c) Any amounts received in respect of a Mortgage Loan as to which
a default has occurred and is continuing in excess of Monthly Payments shall be
applied to Default Interest and other amounts due on such Mortgage Loan prior to
the application to late fees.
Section 1.03 Certain Constructions.
For purposes of Sections 3.25 and 3.29, references to the most or
next most subordinate Class of Certificates (or Lower-Tier Regular Interests)
outstanding at any time shall mean the most or next most subordinate Class of
Certificates (or Lower-Tier Regular Interests) then outstanding as among the
Class A-1, Class A-2, Class X-0, Xxxxx XX-0, 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 Q-1 and Class Q-2 Certificates (and the Classes of Related Lower-Tier
Regular Interests). For such purposes, the Class Q-1 and Class Q-2 Certificates
(and the Classes of Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests) together shall be
considered to be one Class and the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3
Certificates (and the Classes of Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests)
collectively shall be considered to be one Class. For purposes of this
Agreement, (i) each Class of Sequential Certificates shall be deemed to be
outstanding only to the extent its respective Certificate Balance has not been
reduced to zero (or, in the case of the Class A-2, Class A-3, 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 Q-1 and Q-2 Certificates, if longer, shall be deemed outstanding
so long as there are any Notes outstanding that provide for the payment of
Excess Interest), (ii) the Class R and Class LR Certificates shall be deemed to
be outstanding so long as the Trust Fund has not been terminated pursuant to
Section 9.01 and (iii) the Class CS-1 and the Class X Certificates shall be
deemed to be outstanding until their respective Notional Balances have been
reduced to zero.

the Depositor upon such party's becoming aware of any breach of the
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan
Purchase and Sale Agreement that gives rise to a cure or repurchase obligation;
provided, that the failure of the Servicer, the Special Servicer or Trustee to

obligation. The Depositor shall cause the Reserve Accounts, Cash Collateral
Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts to be transferred to and held in the name of the
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as successor to the Mortgage Loan Sellers and
the Originators.
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does
hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee),

On or promptly following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall, to the
extent possession of recorded copies of each Mortgage and the documents
described in Sections 2.01(a)(iv), (v), (viii), (xii), (xiii) and (xiv) have
been delivered to it, at the expense of the Depositor, (1) prepare and record
(a) each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in Section 2.01(a)(iii) which has
not yet been submitted for recording and (b) each Reassignment of Assignment of
Leases, Rents and Profits referred to in Section 2.01(a)(viii) (if not otherwise
included in the related Assignment of Mortgage) which has not yet been submitted
for recordation; and (2) prepare and file each UCC-2 or UCC-3 financing
statement referred to in Section 2.01(a)(v) or (xiii) which has not yet been
submitted for filing. The Trustee shall upon delivery promptly prepare and
submit (and in no event later than 30 Business Days following the receipt of the
related documents in the case of clause 1(a) above and 60 days following the
receipt of the applicable documents in the case of clauses 1(b) and 2 above) for
recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public recording
office, each such document. In the event that any such document is lost or
returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Trustee, at the expense of
the Depositor, shall use its best efforts to promptly prepare a substitute
document for signature by the Depositor or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as
applicable, and thereafter the Trustee shall cause each such document to be duly
recorded. The Trustee shall promptly upon receipt of the original recorded copy
(and in no event later than five Business Days following such receipt) deliver
such original to the Custodian and a copy of such recorded document to the
Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original
Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage or Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents
and Profits, if applicable, after any has been recorded, the obligations
hereunder of the Depositor shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery
to the Custodian of a copy of such Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage or
Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, if applicable,
certified by the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
recorded original thereof. If a pro forma title insurance policy has been
delivered to the Custodian in lieu of an original title insurance policy, the
Depositor will promptly deliver to the Custodian the related original title
insurance policy upon receipt thereof with a copy to the Servicer. The Depositor
shall promptly cause the UCC-1's referred to in Section 2.01(a)(v) to be filed
in the applicable public recording office and upon filing will promptly deliver
to the Custodian the related UCC-1, with evidence of filing thereon with a copy
to the Servicer. The Depositor shall reimburse the Trustee for all out-of-pocket
expenses incurred and filing fees paid by the Trustee in connection with its
obligations under this paragraph. Copies of recorded or filed Assignments,
Reassignments, UCC-1's and UCC-3's shall be delivered to the Trustee by the
Depositor or Servicer, as applicable.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans which are not
delivered to the Custodian are and shall be held by the Depositor, the Trustee
or the Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required
pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such
document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian.
(b) Each of the Split Loans is secured by a Mortgaged Property
which serves as security for the Split Note and the related Other Note. The
Other Note or Other Notes are included in trust funds (the "Other Trust Funds")
created in connection with issuance of separate series of commercial mortgage
pass-through certificates. Each Split Note is a pari passu note with the related
Other Note, and each is entitled to payments made by the respective Borrower and
other amounts received in respect of the related Mortgaged Property pro rata on
the basis of amounts owing under the Split Note and the Other Note.
(c) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Trustee without recourse (except to the extent herein provided) all the right,
title and interest of the Depositor in, to and under the Loan REMIC Interests
and the Loan REMIC Declarations. The Trustee shall administer each of the Loan
REMICs in accordance with Section 4.04(b) hereof.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Custodian and the Trustee.
If the Depositor cannot deliver any original or certified recorded
document described in Section 2.01 on the Closing Date, the Depositor shall use
its best efforts, promptly upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than
45 days (except for the original Note endorsed in blank which shall be delivered
on the Closing Date) from the Closing Date, to deliver such original or
certified recorded documents to the Custodian (unless the Depositor is delayed
in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have
been returned by the appropriate recording office in which case it shall notify
the Custodian and the Trustee in writing of such delay and shall deliver such
documents to the Custodian promptly upon the Depositor's receipt thereof). By
its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Trustee acknowledges the
assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and the Loan REMIC Interests in good
faith without notice of adverse claims and declares that the Custodian holds and
will hold such documents and all others delivered to it constituting the
Mortgage File (to the extent the documents constituting the Mortgage File are
actually delivered to the Custodian) for any Mortgage Loan assigned to the
Trustee hereunder in trust, upon the conditions herein set forth, for the use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. With the exception of
any Notes listed by the Trustee on an exception report and delivered to the
Depositor on the Closing Date, the Trustee hereby acknowledges the receipt of
the Notes. The Trustee agrees to review each Mortgage File within 60 days after
the later of (a) the Trustee's receipt of such Mortgage File or (b) execution
and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain that all documents (other than
documents referred to in clause (ix) of Section 2.01(a) which shall be delivered
to the Servicer) referred to in Section 2.01 above (in the case of the documents
referred to in Section 2.01(a)(iv), (v), (vi), (vii) (in the case of any
endorsement thereto), (viii), (x) through (xiv), (xvi) and (xvii), as identified
to it in writing by the Depositor) and any original recorded documents referred
to in the first sentence of this Section included in the delivery of a Mortgage
File have been received, have been executed, appear to be what they purport to
be, purport to be recorded or filed (as applicable) and have not been torn,
mutilated or otherwise defaced, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage
Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In so doing, the Trustee may
rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on
the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If at the conclusion of such
review any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File have not
been executed or received, have not been recorded or filed (if required), are
unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, appear
not to be what they purport to be or have been torn, mutilated or otherwise
defaced, the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Depositor and the related
Mortgage Loan Seller by providing a written report, setting forth for each
affected Mortgage Loan, with particularity, the nature of the defective or
missing document with a copy to the Servicer. The Depositor shall, or shall
cause the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to, deliver an executed, recorded or
undamaged document, as applicable, or, if the failure to deliver such document
in such form has a material adverse effect on the security provided by the
related Mortgaged Property, the Depositor shall, or shall cause the responsible
Mortgage Loan Seller, or, in the event CCA shall fail to act, shall cause NHA to
repurchase the related Mortgage Loan in the manner provided in Section 2.03.
None of the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall be responsible
for any loss, cost, damage or expense to the Trust Fund resulting from any
failure to receive any document constituting a portion of a Mortgage File noted
on such a report or for any failure by the Depositor to use its best efforts to
deliver any such document.
In reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to the preceding paragraph
or Section 2.01, the Servicer shall have no responsibility to cause the Trustee
to, and the Trustee will have no responsibility to, determine whether any
document or opinion is legal, valid, binding or enforceable, whether the text of
any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except, if
applicable, for the Trustee to determine if the Trustee is the assignee or
endorsee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the
requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, whether a blanket assignment is
permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, or whether any Person executing any
document or rendering any opinion is authorized to do so or whether any
signature thereon is genuine.
The Trustee shall hold that portion of the Trust Fund delivered to
the Trustee consisting of "instruments" (as such term is defined in Section
9-105(i) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Illinois on the date
hereof) in Illinois and, except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement, shall not remove such instruments from Illinois, as applicable,
unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (obtained and delivered at the expense
of the Person requesting the removal of such instruments from Illinois) that in
the event the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee is deemed not to be
a sale, after such removal, the Trustee will possess a first priority perfected
security interest in such instruments.

(E) shall do all things necessary to observe corporate and

in accordance with the standards of the statistical
rating organizations providing ratings on any
Certificates, as such standards are in effect on the
date of issuance of such Certificates;

its own funds for services provided to it;

maintain a separate sign in the office directory of the
building in which the Depositor maintains its principal

(L) shall not make any loans or advances to, or pledge its
assets for the benefit of, any other person or entity,

written confirmation from each of the statistical rating
organizations providing ratings on any Certificates or
Bonds on the date of issuance of such Certificates or
Bonds that such action, in and of itself, will not cause
such statistical rating organization to qualify,
downgrade or withdraw any of its then-current rating for
any Certificate or Bond.
Capitalized terms defined in clauses (v) and (vi) shall apply only
to clauses (v) and (vi).
(vii) There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against the
Depositor in any court or by or before any other governmental
agency or instrumentality which would materially and adversely
affect the ability of the Depositor to carry out its
obligations under this Agreement; and
(viii)The Trustee, if not the owner of the related Mortgage Loan,
will have a valid and perfected security interest of first
priority in each of the Mortgage Loans and any proceeds
thereof.
(b) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants with respect
to each Mortgage Loan that:
(i) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the
Trustee: (a) the Note and the Mortgage were not subject to an
assignment or pledge, and (b) the Depositor had good title to,
and was the sole owner of, the Mortgage Loan and had full
right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Trustee
free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge,
charge, claim or security interest;
(ii) The Depositor is transferring such Mortgage Loan free and
clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security
interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan;
(iii) The related Assignment of Mortgage constitutes the legal,
valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage from the
Depositor to the Trustee, and any related Reassignment of
Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits constitutes the legal,
valid and binding assignment from the Depositor to the
Trustee;
(iv) No claims have been made by the Depositor under the lender's
title insurance policy, and the Depositor has not done, by act
or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such
lender's title insurance policy;
(v) All of the representations and warranties of the Mortgage Loan
Sellers contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale
Agreements are true and correct as of the Cut-off Date;
(vi) (1) Such Mortgage Loan is directly secured by a Mortgage on
Real Property, and (2) either (i) substantially all of the
proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire or improve
or protect an interest in Real Property that, at the
origination date, was the only security for the Mortgage Loan
(in the case of a Mortgage Loan that has not been modified in
a manner that constituted a deemed exchange under Section 1001
of the Code at a time when the Mortgage Loan was not in
default or default with respect thereto was not reasonably
foreseeable) or (ii) the fair market value of such Real
Property was at least equal to 80% of the principal amount of
the Mortgage Loan (a) at origination (or, if the Mortgage Loan
has been modified in a manner that constituted a deemed
exchange under Section 1001 of the Code at a time when the
Mortgage Loan was not in default or default with respect
thereto was not reasonably foreseeable, the date of the last
such modification) or (b) at the Closing Date; provided that
for purposes of this clause (ii) the fair market value of the
Real Property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount
of any lien on the Real Property interest that is senior to
the Mortgage Loan (unless such senior lien also secures a
Mortgage Loan, in which event the computation described in (a)
and (b) of this clause (ii) shall be made on an aggregate
basis) and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in
parity with the Mortgage Loan (unless such other lien secures
a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized with such
Mortgage Loan, in which event the computation described in (a)
and (b) of this clause (ii) shall be made on an aggregate
basis);
(vii) The information set forth with respect to such Mortgage Loan
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct in all
material respects as of the dates respecting which such
information is given, or if no date is specified, as of the
Cut-off Date;
(viii)The acquisition of any Other Note by an Other Trust Fund will
not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of any
rating assigned to the Certificates; and
(ix) With respect to each Other Mortgage Loan, the Other Servicer
and Other Special Servicer are parties to pooling and
servicing agreements, copies of which have previously been
delivered to the Servicer.
(c) It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the
respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee until the termination of this
Agreement, and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders, the
Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Servicer, and shall not be affected or
diminished by any limitation in any assignment, endorsement or allonge relating
to any document in such Mortgage File.
(d) Upon discovery by the Custodian, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of the representation and warranty set forth
in Section 2.03(b)(vi) or that any Mortgage Loan otherwise fails to constitute a
Qualified Mortgage, such Person shall give prompt notice thereof to the related
Mortgage Loan Seller, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Rating
Agencies as soon as practical after its receipt of such notice, and the
Depositor shall correct such condition or repurchase or cause (i) the
responsible Mortgage Loan Seller or (ii) in the event CCA, as Mortgage Loan
Seller shall fail to act, NHA, to repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Repurchase Price within 90 days of such party's discovery of such failure; it
being understood and agreed that none of such Persons has an obligation to
conduct any investigation with respect to such matters. It is understood and
agreed that the obligations of the Depositor set forth in this Section 2.03(d)
to cure or repurchase a Mortgage Loan which fails to constitute a Qualified
Mortgage shall be the sole remedies available to the Trustee against the
Depositor respecting a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in
Section 2.03(b)(vi).
(e) Upon discovery by the Custodian, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of a representation or warranty of the
Mortgage Loan Sellers in the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements to the
extent set forth therein with respect to any Mortgage Loan, or that any document
required to be included in the Mortgage File does not conform to the
requirements of Section 2.01, such Person shall give prompt notice thereof to
the appropriate Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor, the Special Servicer and
the Rating Agencies, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall, to the extent such
Mortgage Loan Seller is obligated to cure or repurchase the related Mortgage
Loan under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement,
either cure such breach or repurchase said Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price
within 90 days of the receipt of notice of the breach as provided in the related
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement; it being understood and agreed that
none of the Custodian, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, and the Trustee has
an obligation to conduct any investigation with respect to such matters (except,
in the case of the Mortgage Files, to the extent provided in Section 2.01);
provided, however, that in the event that such breach is capable of being cured
as determined by the Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable, but not
within such 90 day period and the appropriate Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced
and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such breach within such 90 day
period (other than a breach that is also a breach of Section 2.03(b)(vi) or
2.03(d)), the appropriate Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional 90 days
to complete such cure; provided, further, that with respect to such additional
90 day period the appropriate Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered an
officer's certificate to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer
setting forth the reason such breach is not capable of being cured within the
initial 90 day period and what actions the Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in
connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Mortgage Loan Seller
anticipates that such breach will be cured within the additional 90 day period;
and, provided, further, the Repurchase Price shall include interest on any
Advances made in respect of the related Mortgage Loan. Any out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to this Section
2.03(e), and which have not been previously reimbursed, and which in the good
faith business judgment of the Servicer or Special Servicer would not be
ultimately recoverable under clause (iv) of the definition of Repurchase Price
shall otherwise be payable by the Mortgage Loan Seller (and if not paid by the
Mortgage Loan Seller within 30 days of the request for payment by the Servicer,
the cost thereof shall constitute a Property Advance).
(f) In connection with repurchase of the Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx Loan or
the Geneva Crossing Loan pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 2.03(d) or
Section 2.03(e), the Trustee shall effect a "qualified liquidation" of the
related Loan REMIC in accordance with the REMIC Provisions.
(g) Upon receipt by the Servicer from the Depositor or appropriate
Mortgage Loan Seller of the Repurchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer shall deposit such amount in the Collection Account, and the
Trustee, pursuant to Section 3.11, shall, upon receipt of a certificate of a
Servicing Officer certifying as to the receipt by the Servicer of the Repurchase
Price and the deposit of the Repurchase Price into the Collection Account
pursuant to this Section 2.03(g), release or cause to be released to the
Depositor or the appropriate Mortgage Loan Seller the related Mortgage File and
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be prepared by the
Servicer to vest in the Depositor or the appropriate Mortgage Loan Seller any
Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and any rights of the Depositor in, to
and under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement as it related to such
Mortgage Loan that was initially transferred to the Trust Fund under Section
2.01, and if applicable any rights of CCA or Depositor in, to and under the
related Bloomfield Purchase Agreement as it related to such Mortgage Loan that
were initially transferred to the Trust Fund under Section 2.01, and the Trustee
and the Servicer shall have no further responsibility with regard to such
Mortgage File. Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer pursuant to
this Section 2.03(g), and which have not been previously reimbursed, and which
in the good faith business judgment of the Servicer would not be ultimately
recoverable under clause (iv) of the definition of Repurchase Price shall
otherwise be payable by the Mortgage Loan Seller (and if not paid by the
Mortgage Loan Seller within 30 days of the request for payment by the Servicer,
the cost thereof shall constitute a Property Advance).
(h) In the event that any Mortgage Loan Seller incurs any expense
in connection with curing a breach of a representation or warranty pursuant to
Section 2.03(e) which also constitutes a default under the related Mortgage
Loan, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have a right, subrogated to that of the
Trustee, as successor to the mortgagee, to recover the amount of such expenses
from the related Borrower. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in
recovering, or assisting such Mortgage Loan Seller in recovering, from the
related Borrower the amount of any such expenses. Any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.03(h), and which have not
been previously reimbursed, and which in the good faith business judgment of the
Servicer would not be ultimately recoverable under clause (iv) of the definition
of Repurchase Price shall otherwise be payable by the Mortgage Loan Seller (and
if not paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller within 30 days of the request for
payment by the Servicer, the cost thereof shall constitute a Property Advance).
(i) In the event that any litigation is commenced which alleges
facts which, in the judgment of the Depositor, could constitute a breach of any
of the Depositor's representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage
Loans, the Depositor hereby reserves the right to conduct the defense of such
litigation at its expense.
(j) If for any reason any Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor
fails to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.03 with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use
reasonable efforts in enforcing any obligation of the applicable Mortgage Loan
Seller (or NHA on behalf of CCA, as Mortgage Loan Seller) to cure or repurchase
such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase and
Sale Agreement. Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer pursuant to
this Section 2.03(j), and which have not been previously reimbursed, and which
in the good faith business judgment of the Servicer would not be ultimately
recoverable under clause (iv) of the definition of Repurchase Price shall
constitute a Property Advance hereunder.
(k) The Depositor additionally represents, warrants and covenants
that:
(i) The Depositor will at all times maintain its valid corporate
existence in good standing under the laws of the state of its
incorporation. The Depositor has otherwise complied and will
comply in all respects with the laws of the state of its
incorporation, and with all other laws, federal, state, or
otherwise, insofar as they are related to its separate
corporate existence, and it will observe all requisite
corporate formalities.
(ii) Although all directors and officers of the Depositor, except
any director who is Independent, are directors, officers, or
employees of CCA and/or Nomura Securities International, Inc.
("NSI"), such persons have not directly received, and will not
directly receive, any remuneration from the Depositor for
serving as directors or officers of the Depositor. The
Depositor is charged and pays a fair estimate, adjusted every
six months, of payroll and related expenses for work and
services performed by the directors, officers, and employees
of CCA or NSI for services performed as directors or officers
of the Depositor. The officers and directors of the Depositor,
when acting in such capacity, act in the best interests of the
Depositor, consistent with their fiduciary duties as directors
and officers of such corporation. The Depositor is not
obligated to pay or distribute to CCA or any of its
Affiliates, by dividend or otherwise, any portion of any of
its profits or its other assets. The Depositor's profits, if
any, may, at the discretion of the Depositor's Board of
Directors and subject to applicable law, be transferred by
dividend to the Depositor's shareholder(s), which is presently
CCA.
(iii) The Depositor maintains its business in separately allocated
and identifiable office space within the offices of its
Affiliates in New York City. The Depositor's presence at such
offices is noted in the building directory and on other signs.
As set forth above in connection with payroll expenses, the
Depositor is charged and pays rent in an amount corresponding
to the portion of the office space allocated to the Depositor.
(iv) The Depositor has a telephone number different from any
telephone numbers of CCA and NSI or any of their Affiliates.
The Depositor uses its own stationery that indicates its
separate telephone number and identifies it as a separate
corporate entity.
(v) The Depositor shall not fail to correct any known
misunderstanding regarding the separate identity of the
Depositor, or purport to operate as an integrated, single
economic unit with any of its Affiliates in dealing with any
unaffiliated entity. Neither the Mortgage Loan Sellers nor NSI
finance the Depositor's operations or guarantees the
Depositor's obligations (other than with respect to NHA's
obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, dated October
15, 1999 among the Depositor, NHA, CCA and the Underwriters),
and the Depositor does not finance the operations or guarantee
the obligations of the Mortgage Loan Sellers or NSI; provided,
however, that CCA has made capital contributions to the
Depositor, and may make additional capital contributions from
time to time in connection with the expansion of the
Depositor's business or to enable the Depositor to invest in
privately-offered Certificates. However, CCA does not pay or
subsidize any of the Depositor's normal operating expenses.
The Depositor will pay from its own funds its operating
expenses and liabilities, including legal fees and expenses,
or will reimburse the Mortgage Loan Sellers or NSI for any
such expenses or liabilities paid by the Mortgage Loan Sellers
or NSI on the Depositor's behalf. To facilitate the
registration process, CCA and/or NSI has advanced and may
advance certain expenses of the Depositor associated with the
registration process. The Depositor has repaid or will repay
to CCA and/or NSI these expenses on an allocable basis out of
the proceeds of mortgage pass-through transactions. Neither
the Mortgage Loan Sellers nor NSI have funded or will fund the
Depositor's operating expenses. The assets or creditworthiness
of the Mortgage Loan Sellers, NSI or any of their Affiliates
are not held out by the Depositor as being available for the
payment of the Depositor's liabilities or obligations, and the
assets or creditworthiness of the Depositor are not held out
by the Depositor as being available for the payment of the
liabilities of the Mortgage Loan Sellers, NSI or any of their
Affiliates other than the Depositor. The assets or
creditworthiness of the Depositor are not held out by the
Mortgage Loan Sellers or NSI, to the knowledge of the
Depositor, and the Depositor will not permit that its assets
or creditworthiness will be held out by the Mortgage Loan
Sellers or NSI, as being available for the payment of the
liabilities or obligations of the Mortgage Loan Sellers, NSI
or any of their Affiliates. The assets or creditworthiness of
the Mortgage Loan Sellers, NSI or any of their Affiliates are
not held out by the Mortgage Loan Sellers or NSI, to the
knowledge of the Depositor, and the Depositor will not permit
that the assets or creditworthiness of the Mortgage Loan
Sellers or NSI will be held out by the Mortgage Loan Sellers
or NSI, as being available for the payment of the liabilities
of the Depositor. The Depositor's assets are now, and are
expected in the future to be, sufficient to pay the
Depositor's ongoing expenses as they are incurred and to
discharge all of the Depositor's liabilities in the event that
the business of the Depositor is required to be liquidated.
(vi) The separate corporate existence of the Depositor is not used
by either the Depositor, or, to the knowledge of the
Depositor, by the Mortgage Loan Sellers or NSI, and the
Depositor will not permit that its separate corporate
existence will be used by the Mortgage Loan Sellers or NSI, to
abuse creditors or to perpetrate a fraud, injury, or injustice
on creditors.
(vii) The Depositor's existence is not dependent on it being a
subsidiary of CCA or an Affiliate of NSI and it is expected
that the Depositor would be able to maintain its business and
affairs even if it were not a subsidiary of CCA or an
Affiliate of NSI. To the knowledge of the Depositor, CCA's
existence is not dependent on the Depositor being its
subsidiary and it is expected that CCA would be able to
maintain its business and affairs even if the Depositor were
not its subsidiary. To the knowledge of the Depositor, the
Mortgage Loan Sellers' existence is not dependent on the
Depositor being their Affiliate and it is expected that NSI
would be able to maintain its business and affairs even if the
Depositor were not its Affiliate. The Depositor conducts its
business separate and apart from the business conducted by any
other person or entity.
(viii)The Depositor maintains corporate records distinct and
separately identifiable from the corporate records of the
Mortgage Loan Sellers, NSI and any other person or entity. The
Depositor prepares monthly financial records distinct and
separately identifiable from the financial records of the
Mortgage Loan Sellers, NSI or any of their Affiliates. These
statements and reports are prepared and maintained in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
susceptible to audit and audited, at least annually, in
connection with the audit of the Depositor and its Affiliates
on a consolidated basis by independent public accountants in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Such
consolidated financial statements will henceforth indicate
that the assets of the Depositor are not available to satisfy
the creditors of any entity other than the Depositor. The
Depositor keeps its funds separate and apart from the funds of
the Mortgage Loan Sellers, NSI and any of their Affiliates,
and its other assets are separately identifiable and
distinguishable from the assets of the Mortgage Loan Sellers,
NSI and any of their Affiliates.
(ix) The Depositor acts solely in its own corporate name and solely
through its duly authorized officers or agents. The Depositor
complies with the provisions of its Certificate of
Incorporation and its By-Laws and complies in all material
respects, in connection with its separate existence, with the
laws of the state in which it is incorporated. In addition,
the sole shareholder and the Board of Directors of the
Depositor hold all such meetings or execute consents necessary
to authorize corporate action by the Depositor, and the
Depositor maintains appropriate minutes of such meetings or
records of its written consents. The Depositor observes all
requisite corporate formalities.
(x) All transactions between the Mortgage Loan Sellers or NSI (or
any of their Affiliates), on the one hand, and the Depositor,
on the other, are, and will be, duly authorized and
documented, and recorded accurately in the appropriate books
and records of the Depositor, and to the knowledge of the
Depositor, in the appropriate books and records of the
Mortgage Loan Sellers or NSI, if the Mortgage Loan Sellers or
NSI is a party to such transaction. All such transactions are
fair to each party, constitute exchanges for fair
consideration and for reasonably equivalent value, and are
made in good faith and without any actual intent to hinder,
delay, or defraud creditors. The Depositor will not take any
action, and will not engage in transactions with the Mortgage
Loan Sellers, NSI or any of their Affiliates unless the
respective Boards of Directors or officers, as applicable, of
the Depositor and the Mortgage Loan Sellers or NSI, if the
Mortgage Loan Sellers or NSI, respectively, is a party to such
transaction, determine in a reasonable fashion that such
actions or transactions are in their respective companies'
best interests.
(xi) The Depositor intends the transfer of the Mortgage Loans from
the Mortgage Loan Sellers to the Depositor pursuant to the
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements to be a sale of the
Mortgage Loans. The Depositor intends the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee pursuant to
this Agreement, and the transfer of certain of the
Certificates to NSI (all Certificates so transferred, the "NSI
Certificates"), to be sales from the Depositor to the Trustee
(the "Depositor/Trustee Transfer") and from the Depositor to
NSI (the "Depositor/NSI Transfer"), respectively. The
Depositor will treat the transfer of the Mortgage Loans, the
Depositor/Trustee Transfer and the Depositor/NSI Transfer as
sales for accounting and tax purposes. The purchase prices for
the Mortgage Loans and the NSI Certificates reflect the good
faith determinations of the Depositor of the fair market value
of the Mortgage Loans and the NSI Certificates, respectively,
and are equal to the prices that the Depositor believes would
be paid in sales of the Mortgage Loans or the NSI Certificates
between non-affiliated entities. No provision exists whereby
such consideration may be modified subsequent to closing, and
the Depositor has no obligation to repay such consideration,
or interest thereon, to the Trustee or NSI, as applicable. The
Depositor will receive the consideration for the NSI
Certificates.
(xii) The Depositor irrevocably transfers and relinquishes all
rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans and, specifically,
has no right to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of the
Mortgage Loans. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the
Trustee is free to deal with the Mortgage Loans as trustee of
trust property on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Depositor transfers the Mortgage Loans without recourse and
has no obligation to deliver other property to the Trustee
either in substitution for or in addition to the Mortgage
Loans in the event of a credit loss or decline in value of the
Mortgage Loans. The Depositor has no right to transfer the
Mortgage Loans back to the Mortgage Loan Sellers.
(xiii)The Depositor has not transferred the Mortgage Loans in
contemplation of insolvency or with a design to prefer one or
more creditors to the exclusion in whole or in part of others
or with an actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of
its creditors.
(xiv) The assets of the Depositor are now, and are expected in the
future to be, sufficient to pay the ongoing business expenses
of the Depositor as they are incurred and to discharge all of
its liabilities in the event that the business of the
Depositor is required to be liquidated.
(xv) The property remaining in the hands of the Depositor after
giving effect to the Transfers is not an unreasonably small
amount of capital for the business in which the Depositor is
engaged.
In the case of the Geneva Crossing Loan and the Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx Loan, such
representations, warranties and covenants shall also apply to the related Loan
REMIC Regular Interests.
Section 2.04 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of

hereto with respect to a breach on the part of the Servicer, the Special

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer; Special Servicer
to Act as Special Servicer; Administration of
the Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Servicer and the Special Servicer, each as an independent
contractor servicer, shall service and administer (i) in the case of the
Servicer, the Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and
(ii) in the case of the Special Servicer, the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans,
each on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Trustee (as trustee for
Certificateholders) in accordance with any and all applicable laws, the terms of
this Agreement, the terms of the respective Mortgage Loan and, to the extent
consistent with the foregoing, the Servicing Standard.
The Servicer's or Special Servicer's liability for actions and
omissions in its capacity as Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be,
hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant
to Section 6.03 hereof). To the extent consistent with the foregoing and subject
to any express limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer and Special
Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal
and interest on the Notes; provided, however, that nothing herein contained
shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Servicer or Special
Servicer of the collectability of the Mortgage Loans. Subject only to the
Servicing Standard, the Servicer and Special Servicer shall have full power and
authority, acting alone or through sub-servicers (subject to paragraph (c) of
this Section 3.01 and to Section 3.02), to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem
consistent with the Servicing Standard and, in its reasonable judgment, in the
best interests of the Certificateholders, including, without limitation, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan, to prepare, execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them: (i) any and all financing
statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary
to maintain the lien on each Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii)
subject to Sections 3.09, 3.10 and 3.29, any modifications, waivers, consents or
amendments to or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage
File; and (iii) 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 Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer and
Special Servicer shall provide to the Borrowers any reports required to be
provided to them pursuant to the Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 3.11, the
Trustee shall, upon the receipt of a written request of a Servicing Officer,
execute and deliver to the Servicer and Special Servicer any powers of attorney
and other documents prepared by the Servicer and Special Servicer and necessary
or appropriate (as certified in such written request) to enable the Servicer and
Special Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties
hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer
shall, without the Trustee's written consent, (i) initiate any action in the
Trustee's name without indicating the Servicer's or the Special Servicer's
representative capacity; or (ii) prepare, execute or deliver any government
filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents which have the effect
of causing the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.
(b) To the extent permitted by the related Note, the Servicer, as
applicable, shall apply any partial Principal Prepayment received on a Mortgage
Loan on a date other than a Due Date to the principal balance of such Mortgage
Loan as of the Due Date immediately following the date of receipt of such
partial Principal Prepayment. To the extent allowed by the related Note, the
Servicer shall apply any amounts received on U.S. Treasury obligations (which
shall not be redeemed by the Servicer prior to the maturity thereof) in respect
of a Mortgage Loan that has been defeased pursuant to its terms to the principal
balance of and interest on such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date immediately
following the receipt of such amounts.
(c) Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer may enter into
sub-servicing agreements with third parties (only at their own expense and, with
respect to the Special Servicer only, subject to written confirmation from the
Rating Agencies (other than S&P) that the appointment of such sub-servicer will
not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current
ratings of the Certificates), with respect to any of its respective obligations
hereunder, provided, that (i) any such agreement shall be consistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, (ii) no sub-servicer retained by the Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall grant any modification, waiver or
amendment to any Mortgage Loan without the approval of the Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, which approval shall be given or withheld in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 3.09, 3.10, 3.28 or 3.29,
and (iii) such agreement shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard (to the
extent consistent with this Agreement). Any such sub-servicing agreement may
permit the sub-servicer to delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so
long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or
subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.01(c). The
Special Servicer is restricted from engaging sub-servicers for more than 25% of
the Mortgage Loans.
Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide that it may be assumed or
terminated by the Trustee or the successor Servicer, respectively, if the
Trustee or the successor Servicer, respectively, has assumed the duties of the
Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, or any successor Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the assuming or
terminating party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the
obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to
Section 7.02.
Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer shall
provide that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan in which an Affiliate of the
sub-servicer holds any subordinate debt, preferred equity investment or
mezzanine debt of a related Borrower or its Affiliate, such sub-servicer may
sub-service such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Servicer shall make
all decisions with respect to the administration of any such Mortgage Loan
including, without limitation, lease approvals, modifications, waivers and
amendments of the terms thereof, releases of collateral and transfers to special
servicing.
Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services
relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a sub-servicer, shall be deemed to be
between the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such
sub-servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders
shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the sub-servicer, except as
set forth in Section 3.01(d) and no provision herein may be construed so as to
require the Trust Fund to indemnify any such sub-servicer.
(d) If the Trustee or any successor Servicer assumes the
obligations of the Servicer, respectively, or if the Servicer or any successor
Special Servicer assumes the obligations of the Special Servicer, in each case
in accordance with Section 7.02, the Trustee, the Servicer or such successor, as
applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee, the Servicer or such
successor, as applicable, to carry out the provisions of Section 7.02, shall,
without act or deed on the part of the Trustee, the Servicer or such successor,
as applicable, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable, under any sub-servicing agreement entered
into by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section
3.01(c), subject to the right of termination by the Trustee or Servicer, as
applicable, set forth in Section 3.01(c). In such event, the Trustee, the
Servicer or the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be
deemed to have assumed all of the Servicer's or Special Servicer's interest, as
applicable, therein (but not any liabilities or obligations in respect of acts
or omissions of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, prior to
such deemed assumption) and to have replaced the Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, as a party to such sub-servicing agreement to the same
extent as if such sub-servicing agreement had been assigned to the Trustee, the
Servicer or such successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as
applicable, except that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such
sub-servicing agreement that accrued prior to the succession of the Trustee, the
Servicer or the successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable.
In the event that the Trustee, the Servicer or any successor
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, assumes the servicing obligations
of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon request of the
Trustee, the Servicer or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, the Servicer or Special Servicer shall at its own expense deliver to
the Trustee, the Servicer or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, all documents and records relating to any sub-servicing agreement
and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by it, if any, and will otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any sub-servicing
agreement to the Trustee, the Servicer or the successor Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable.
Section 3.02 Liability of the Servicer and Special Servicer.
Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, any of the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer or
Special Servicer and any Person acting as sub-servicer (or its agents or
subcontractors) or any reference to actions taken through any Person acting as
sub-servicer or otherwise, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and
Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Depositor or any other
Person acting as sub-servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) to the same
extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage
Loans. Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter
into an agreement with any sub-servicer providing for indemnification of the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by such sub-servicer, and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification, but no such agreement for indemnification shall be deemed to
limit or modify this Agreement.
Section 3.03 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
(a) The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use
reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall
follow the Servicing Standard with respect to such collection procedures. With
respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer (and,
with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the Servicer) shall use its reasonable
efforts to collect income statements and rent rolls from Borrowers as required
by the Loan Documents and the terms hereof and each of the Servicer and Special
Servicer shall provide copies thereof to the other party as provided herein. The
Servicer shall provide at least six months' notice to the Borrowers of Balloon
Payments and Anticipated Repayment Dates coming due. Consistent with the
foregoing, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its
discretion waive any late payment charge and/or Default Interest in connection
with any delinquent Monthly Payment or Balloon Payment with respect to any
Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to take such actions
with respect to the collection of payments on the Mortgage Loans as are
permitted or required under Section 3.28 hereof.
(b) In the event that the Servicer or Special Servicer receives,
or receives notice from the related Borrower that it will be receiving, Excess
Interest in any Collection Period, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, will promptly notify the Trustee.
Section 3.04 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
Items; Escrow Accounts.
(a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any REO
Mortgage Loan), the 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 Servicer shall (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such
items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) effect payment of all such bills
with respect to such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable penalty or
termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as
allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan. If a Borrower fails to
make any such payment on a timely basis or collections from the Borrower are
insufficient to pay any such item before the applicable penalty or termination
date (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans with no Escrow Accounts for such
purpose, upon determining (using efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard)
that the Borrower has not made such payment), the Servicer shall advance the
amount of any shortfall as a Property Advance unless the Servicer determines in
its good faith business judgment that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances, with
interest thereon at the Advance Rate, that it makes pursuant to the preceding
sentence from amounts received on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan
respecting which such Advance was made or if such Advance has become a
Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this
Agreement. No costs incurred by the Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes
and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing
under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loans so permit.
The Special Servicer shall give the Servicer and the Trustee not
less than five Business Days' notice with respect to Property Advances to be
made on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, before the date on which the
Servicer is required to make any Property Advance with respect to a given
Mortgage Loan or REO Property; provided, however, that only two Business Days'
notice shall be required in respect of Property Advances required to be made on
an urgent or emergency basis (which may include, without limitation, Property
Advances required to make tax or insurance payments). In addition, the Special
Servicer shall provide the Servicer and the Trustee with such information in its
possession as the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, may reasonably request
to enable the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to determine whether a
requested Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any request by the
Special Servicer that the Servicer make a Property Advance shall be deemed to be
a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Property Advance is
not a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on such determination; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall
not be liable to the Trust Fund or the Servicer if such Advance shall be
non-recoverable. On the fourth Business Day before each Distribution Date, the
Special Servicer shall report to the Servicer the Special Servicer's
determination as to whether any Property Advance previously made with respect to
a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan is a Nonrecoverable
Advance. The Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a
determination; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be liable
to the Trust Fund or the Servicer if such Advance shall be non-recoverable.
(b) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received pursuant to any Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments 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 Payments shall be deposited within one (1) Business Day
after receipt by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also deposit into each Escrow
Account any amounts representing losses on Permitted Investments pursuant to
Section 3.07(b) 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. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible
Accounts (except to the extent the related Mortgage Loan requires it to be held
in an account that is not an Eligible Account) and shall be entitled "BNY Asset
Solutions LLC, as Servicer, in trust for LaSalle Bank National Association, as
Trustee in trust for Holders of Commercial Mortgage Asset Trust, Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-C2, and Various Borrowers."
Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer, as applicable,
only:
(i) to effect timely payments of items with respect to which
Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage were collected;
(ii) to transfer funds to the Collection Account to reimburse the
Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, for
any Advance (with interest thereon at the Advance Rate)
relating to Escrow Payments, but only from amounts received
with respect to the related Mortgage Loan which represent late

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;
(v) to pay from time to time to the related Borrower any interest
or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Escrow
Account if such income is required to be paid to the related
Borrower under law or by the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or
otherwise to the Servicer; and
(vi) to remove any funds deposited in an Escrow Account that were
not required to be deposited therein.
Section 3.05 Collection Account, Distribution Account,
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, Excess Interest

(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain a Collection Account
in the Trustee's name, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee
as the Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Loan REMIC Interests.
The Collection Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible
Account. The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection
Account within one Business Day following receipt the following payments and
collections received or made by it on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans,
including the principal component of Unscheduled Payments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans and
the interest portion of all Unscheduled Payments and all
Prepayment Premiums;
(iii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.07(b), in connection with net losses realized on Permitted
Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection
Account;
(iv) all Net REO Proceeds withdrawn from an REO Account pursuant to
Section 3.17(b) and all Net Insurance Proceeds and Net
Liquidation Proceeds;
(v) any amounts received from Borrowers which represent recoveries
of Property Protection Expenses, to the extent not permitted
to be retained by the Servicer as provided herein;
(vi) any other amounts required by the provisions of this Agreement
to be deposited into the Collection Account by the Servicer or
Special Servicer, including, without limitation, proceeds of
any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.03(d)
and (e) hereof; and
(vii) any Servicer Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
The foregoing requirements for deposits in the Collection Account
shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, Net
Default Interest, Assumption Fees, loan modification fees, loan service
transaction fees, extension fees, demand fees, beneficiary statement charges and
similar fees need not be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer
and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable in accordance with Section 3.12 hereof, shall be
entitled to retain any such charges and fees received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans. Payments in the nature of Escrow Payments and amounts to be
deposited to Reserve Accounts need not be deposited in the Collection Account by
the Servicer. In the event that the Servicer deposits in the Collection Account
any amount not required to be deposited therein, the Servicer may at any time
withdraw such amount from the Collection Account.
(b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Distribution
Account in the name of the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee as the Holder of the Loan REMIC Interests and
the Lower-Tier Regular Interests. The Distribution Account shall be established
and maintained as an Eligible Account. With respect to each Distribution Date,
the Servicer will deposit in the Distribution Account, to the extent of funds on
deposit in the Collection Account, on the Servicer Remittance Date an aggregate
amount of immediately available funds equal to the sum of Available Funds,
Prepayment Premiums and the Trustee Fee pursuant to the terms of Section
4.06(b). The Servicer will deposit all P&I Advances into the Distribution
Account on the related Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to the terms of Section
4.06(b). To the extent the Servicer fails to do so, the Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent will deposit all P&I Advances into the Distribution Account. All such
amounts deposited in respect of the Geneva Crossing Loan and the Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx
Loan shall be deemed to be distributed in respect of the related Loan REMIC
Regular Interests and the Loan REMIC Residual Interests as set forth in the
related Loan REMIC Declarations.
(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Upper-Tier
Distribution Account in the name of the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (other than the Class LR Certificateholders). The Upper-Tier
Distribution Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account.
With respect to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the
Distribution Account and deposit in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account on or
before such date the amount of Available Funds (including P&I Advances) and
Prepayment Premiums to be distributed in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(i), Section 4.01(a)(ii) and Section
4.01(a)(iii) hereof on such date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account may be maintained as a subaccount
of the Distribution Account; provided, that accounts shall be maintained in a
manner sufficient to identify the deposits thereto and withdrawals therefrom.
(d) Prior to the Servicer Remittance Date relating to any
Collection Period in which Excess Interest is received, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain the Excess Interest Distribution Account in the name of
the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A-2, Class A-3,
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 Q-1 and Class Q-2 Certificates. The Excess
Interest Distribution Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible
Account. On or before the Servicer Remittance Date related to the applicable
Distribution Date (in accordance with the allocation priorities set forth in
Section 3.28(d) to the extent applicable), the Servicer shall remit to the
Trustee for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account an amount equal
to the Excess Interest received during the applicable Collection Period.
Following the distribution of Excess Interest to Certificateholders on the first
Distribution Date after which there are no longer any Mortgage Loans outstanding
which pursuant to their terms could pay Excess Interest, the Trustee shall
terminate the Excess Interest Distribution Account.
(e) Prior to the Servicer Remittance Date relating to any
Collection Period in which any Repurchase Return of Premium Amount is received,
the Trustee shall establish and maintain the Repurchase Price Return of Premium
Distribution Account in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the
Holders of the Class X Certificates. The Repurchase Price Return of Premium
Distribution Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account.
On or before the Servicer Remittance Date related to the applicable Distribution
Date (in accordance with the allocation priorities set forth in Section 3.28(d)
to the extent applicable), the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit
in the Repurchase Price Return of Premium Distribution Account an amount equal
to the Repurchase Return of Premium Amount received during the applicable
Collection Period. Following the distribution of such amount to
Certificateholders on the first Distribution Date after which there are no
longer any Mortgage Loans outstanding which pursuant to their terms could pay
Return of Premium Amount, the Trustee shall terminate the Repurchase Price
Return of Premium Distribution Account.
(f) Funds in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and
the Repurchase Price Return of Premium Distribution Account may be invested only
in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.07. The
Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee of the location and account
number of the Collection Account and shall notify the Trustee in writing prior
to any subsequent change thereof.
Section 3.06 Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection
Account.
The Servicer may make withdrawals from the Collection Account only
as described below (the order set forth below not constituting an order of
priority for such withdrawals):
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account, the Interest Reserve Account, Excess Interest
Distribution Account and the Repurchase Price Return of
Premium Distribution Account, the amounts required to be
deposited in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve
Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the

pursuant to Sections 4.06, 3.27(a), 3.05(b), 3.05(d) and
3.05(e);
(ii) to pay or reimburse the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the
Servicer for Advances (provided, that the Trustee and the
Fiscal Agent shall have priority with respect to such payment
or reimbursement), the Servicer's right to reimburse any such
Person pursuant to this clause (ii) being limited to (x) any
collections on or in respect of the particular Mortgage Loan
or REO Property with respect to which such Advance was made,
or (y) any other amounts in the Collection Account in the
event that such Advances, and any Property Advances made by
the Lead Lender with respect to the Other Note required to be,
but not reimbursed by the Other Trust Fund as provided in
Section 3.31, or any Advance Interest Amount have been deemed
to be Nonrecoverable Advances or are not reimbursed from
recoveries in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or REO
Property after a Final Recovery Determination;
(iii) (A) to pay to the Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
the Advance Interest Amount relating to P&I Advances and (B)
to pay to the Servicer, Trustee or Fiscal Agent any Advance
Interest Amounts not relating to any P&I Advances, in each
case, after application of any Default Interest collected in
the related Collection Period to reimbursement of the Advance
Interest Amounts out of general collections on the Mortgage
Loans and any REO Properties (provided that in the case of
both (A) and (B), the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall have
priority with respect to such payments);
(iv) to pay on or before each Servicer Remittance Date to the
Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, as
compensation, the aggregate unpaid Servicing Compensation and
Special Servicing Compensation (if any) and any other
servicing or special servicing compensation, as applicable, in
respect of the related Collection Period, to be paid, in the
case of the Servicing Fee, from amounts received or advanced
on the related Mortgage Loan (or if not so received or
advanced, from other funds on deposit in the Collection
Account), and to pay from time to time to the Servicer in
accordance with Section 3.07(b) any interest or investment
income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account
(the Servicer may rely on a certification of the Special
Servicer as to amounts of Special Servicing Compensation to be
withdrawn pursuant to this clause (iv));
(v) to remit to the Distribution Account, an amount equal to the
Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date to be paid from
interest received on the related Mortgage Loan;
(vi) to pay on or before each Distribution Date to the Depositor,
the appropriate Mortgage Loan Seller or other Originator, as
the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or REO
Property that has previously been purchased or repurchased by
it pursuant to Section 2.03(d), Section 2.03(e), Section 3.18
or Section 9.01, all amounts received thereon during the
related Collection Period and subsequent to the date as of
which the amount required to effect such purchase or
repurchase was determined;
(vii) to the extent not reimbursed or paid pursuant to any other
clause of this Section 3.06, to reimburse or pay the Servicer,
the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor or the Fiscal
Agent, as applicable, for unpaid Servicing Fees, Trustee Fees,
Special Servicing Compensation and other unpaid items incurred
by such Person pursuant to the second sentence of Section
3.07(c), Section 3.08(a) and (b), Section 3.10, Section
3.12(d), Section 3.17(a), (b) and (c), Section 3.31(d),
Section 6.03, Section 7.04, Section 8.01(c)(v), Section
8.05(d) or Section 10.07, or any other provision of this
Agreement pursuant to which such Person is entitled to
reimbursement or payment from the Trust Fund, in each case
only to the extent reimbursable under such Section, it being
acknowledged that this clause (vii) shall not be deemed to
modify the substance of any such Section, including the
provisions of such Section that set forth the extent to which
one of the foregoing Persons is or is not entitled to payment
or reimbursement;
(viii)to transfer to the Trustee for deposit in one or more
separate, non-interest bearing accounts any amount reasonably
determined by the Trustee to be necessary to pay any
applicable federal, state or local taxes imposed on the
Upper-Tier REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC or any Loan REMIC under
the circumstances and to the extent described in Section 4.05;
(ix) to withdraw any amount deposited into the Collection Account
that was not required to be deposited therein; and
(x) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 9.01.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to subclauses (i)-(vii) above.
The Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the
Special Servicer from the Collection Account (to the extent permitted by clauses
(i)-(vii) above) amounts permitted to be paid to the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent
or the Special Servicer therefrom, promptly upon receipt of a certificate of a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent or a certificate of a
Servicing Officer, as applicable, describing the item and amount to which such
Person is entitled. The Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate
and shall have no duty to recalculate the amounts stated therein.
The Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Special Servicer and the Servicer
shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on
deposit in the Collection Account from time to time for the reimbursement or
payment of the Servicing Compensation (including investment income), or Trustee
Fees, Special Servicing Compensation, Advances, Advance Interest Amounts, their
respective expenses hereunder to the extent such fees and expenses are to be
reimbursed or paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to
this Agreement (and to have such amounts paid directly to third party
contractors for any invoices approved by the Trustee, the Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable) and any federal, state or local taxes imposed
on either the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC or any Loan REMIC.
Section 3.07 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account
and Borrower Accounts.
(a) The Servicer (or with respect to any REO Account, the Special
Servicer) may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account, the REO Account and any Borrower Accounts (subject to the second
succeeding sentence) (each, for purposes of this Section 3.07, an "Investment
Account"), to invest the funds in such Investment Account only in one or more
Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a discount, and that
mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day preceding the
date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment
Account pursuant to this Agreement. Any direction by the Servicer or the Special
Servicer to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing
and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which
matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. In the
case of any Escrow Account, Lock-Box Account, Cash Collateral Account or Reserve
Account (the "Borrower Accounts"), the Servicer shall act upon the written
request of the related Borrower or Manager to the extent the Servicer is
required to do so under the terms of the respective Mortgage Loan or related
documents, provided that in the absence of appropriate written instructions from
the related Borrower or Manager meeting the requirements of this Section 3.07,
the Servicer shall have no obligation to, but will be entitled to, direct the
investment of funds in such accounts in Permitted Investments. All such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee.
The Trustee shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction
which shall be in the control of the Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with
respect to any REO Accounts), as an independent contractor to the Trust Fund)
over each such investment and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any
such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent (which
shall initially be the Servicer), together with any document of transfer, if
any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its
nominee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to
the investment directions of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Borrower or
Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or
otherwise. Neither the Special Servicer nor the Servicer shall have any
responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of any
Borrower or Manager or each other or any losses resulting therefrom, whether
from Permitted Investments or otherwise. In the event amounts on deposit in an
Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on
demand, the Servicer (or the Special Servicer, as applicable), shall:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given
thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the
last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature
hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all
amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount
required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly
upon determination by the Servicer (or the Special
Servicer, as applicable) that such Permitted Investment
would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect
of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment
Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from investment of funds
deposited in any Investment Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer
(except with respect to the investment of funds deposited in (i) any Borrower
Account, which shall be for the benefit of the related Borrower to the extent
required under the Mortgage Loan or applicable laws, or (ii) any REO Account,
which shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer) and, if held in the
Collection Account or REO Account shall be subject to withdrawal by the Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.06 or
Section 3.17(b), as applicable. The Servicer (or with respect to any REO
Account, the Special Servicer) shall deposit from its own funds into the
applicable Investment Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any
such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss; provided
that neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit
any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is
incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered
depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so
long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the
qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account at the time such
investment was made, and provided, further, however, that the Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, may reduce the amount of such payment to the
extent it forgoes any investment income in such Investment Account otherwise
payable to it. Subject to the provisos in the immediately preceding sentence,
the Servicer shall also deposit from its own funds in any Borrower Account the
amount of any loss incurred in respect of Permitted Investments immediately upon
the realization of such loss, except to the extent that amounts are invested for
the benefit of the Borrower under the terms of the Mortgage Loan or applicable
law.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if
any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted
Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any
Permitted Investment, the Trustee or, if the Servicer maintains the account in
which such Permitted Investment is held, the Servicer in the name of the Trustee
may, and upon the request of Holders of Certificates representing greater than
50% of the Percentage Interests of any Class shall, take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. In the event the Trustee or the
Servicer takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the
Trustee or the Servicer, as the case may be for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or the
Servicer, as the case may be, in connection therewith.
Section 3.08 Maintenance of Insurance Policies and Errors
and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, as mortgagee, shall
cause the related Borrower to maintain, to the extent required by each Mortgage
Loan (other than REO Mortgage Loans), and if the Borrower does not so maintain,
shall itself maintain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning
Nonrecoverable Advances) to the extent the Trustee as mortgagee has an insurable
interest and to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates, (i) fire
and hazard insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in
an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (A) one hundred percent
(100%) of the then "full replacement cost" of the improvements and equipment
(excluding foundations, footings and excavation costs), without deduction for
physical depreciation, and (B) the outstanding principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, or such greater amount as is necessary to prevent any reduction
in such policy by reason of the application of co-insurance and to prevent the
Trustee thereunder from being deemed a co-insurer and provided such policy shall
include a "replacement cost" rider, (ii) insurance providing coverage against 12
months of rent interruptions or such longer period or with such extended period
endorsement as provided in the related Mortgage or other loan document and (iii)
such other insurance as is required in the related Mortgage Loan, provided, that
with respect to the three largest loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer
shall in all cases cause the related Borrower to maintain for all Mortgage Loans
(other than REO Mortgage Loans), and if the Borrower does not maintain the
Servicer shall maintain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning
Nonrecoverable Advances) at least the insurance coverage as required under their
respective Mortgage Loan Documents. All insurance referred to above for
Mortgaged Properties shall be from a Qualified Insurer. The Special Servicer
shall maintain fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage on each REO
Property (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable
Advances) in an amount which is at least equal to one hundred percent (100%) of
the then "full replacement cost" of the improvements and equipment (excluding
foundations, footings and excavation costs), without deduction for physical
depreciation. If the Special Servicer does not maintain the insurance described
in the preceding sentence or the required flood insurance described below, the
Servicer shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of notice of such failure,
maintain such insurance, and if the Servicer does not maintain such insurance to
the extent available at commercially reasonable rates, the insurance required in
the first sentence of this Section 3.08(a) or the required flood insurance
described below (if the related Borrower fails to maintain such insurance), the
Trustee shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of notice of such failure,
maintain such insurance and if the Trustee does not maintain such insurance, the
Fiscal Agent shall do so, provided that, in each such case, such obligation will
be subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable
Advances. The Special Servicer shall maintain, with respect to each REO Property
(i) public liability insurance providing such coverage against such risks as the
Special Servicer determines, consistent with the related Mortgage and the
Servicing Standard, to be in the best interests of the Trust Fund, (ii)
insurance providing coverage against 12 months of rent interruptions and (iii)
such other insurance as was required pursuant to the terms of the related
Mortgage Loan, provided, that with respect to an REO Property which as of the
Cut-off Date was one of the three largest loans, the Special Servicer shall in
all cases maintain at least the insurance coverage required under their
respective Mortgage Loan Documents. All insurance for an REO Property shall be
from a Qualified Insurer. Any amounts collected by the Servicer or the Special
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts required to be applied to
the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts to be
released to the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage or
Note or other document in the Mortgage File or in accordance with the Servicing
Standard) shall be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.05, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.06. Any cost incurred by the
Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee or Fiscal Agent in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance other than flood
insurance or earthquake insurance subject to the conditions set forth below is
to be required of any Borrower or to be maintained by the Servicer other than
pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage and pursuant to such applicable
laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property (other than an REO Property) is
located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, and the Servicer,
in performing its obligations hereunder in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, is aware of such location, the Servicer shall use its reasonable
efforts to cause the related Borrower to maintain, to the extent required by
each Mortgage Loan, and if the related Borrower does not so maintain, will
itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning
Nonrecoverable Advances), to the extent available at commercially reasonable
rates, flood insurance in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance required by the
terms of the related Mortgage, in either case, to the extent available for the
related property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the
area in which such property is located is participating in such program). If an
REO Property (i) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area
or (ii) is related to a Mortgage Loan pursuant to which earthquake insurance was
in place at the time of origination and continues to be available at
commercially reasonable rates, the Special Servicer will obtain (and direct the
Servicer to advance amounts in order to obtain, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances and the second paragraph of
Section 3.04(a)) flood insurance and/or earthquake insurance in respect thereof
providing substantially the same coverage as described in the preceding
sentences or, with respect to earthquake insurance, in the amount required by
the Mortgage Loan or, if not specified, in-place at origination. If at any time
during the term of this Agreement a recovery under a flood or fire and hazard or
earthquake insurance policy in respect of an REO Property is not available but
would have been available if such insurance were maintained thereon in
accordance with the standards applied to Mortgaged Properties described herein,
the Special Servicer shall (subject to the provisions of this Agreement
concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) either (i) immediately deposit into the
Collection Account from its own funds the amount that would have been recovered
or (ii) apply to the restoration and repair of the property from its own funds
the amount that would have been recovered, if such application would be
consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that the Special
Servicer shall not be responsible for any shortfall in insurance proceeds
resulting from an insurer's refusal or inability to pay a claim. In the case of
any insurance otherwise required to be maintained pursuant to this Section that
is not being so maintained because the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, has determined that it is not available at commercially reasonable
rates, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver an
Officers' Certificate to the Trustee and each Rating Agency which details the
steps that were taken in seeking such insurance and the factors which led to the
determination that such insurance was not so available. Costs to the Servicer or
Special Servicer of maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this Section 3.08
and any costs of obtaining a confirmation from Fitch, S&P and Xxxxx'x as
contemplated below shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Advance and shall
be reimbursable to the Servicer with interest at the Advance Rate, which
reimbursement may be effected under Section 3.06(ii) or (vii).
The Special Servicer agrees that it will notify the Servicer of any
change of any insurer of any Mortgaged Property or any other change with respect
to the insurance coverage of any Mortgaged Property, to the extent it becomes
aware of such change.
Each of the Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties), agrees to prepare and
present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims
under each related insurance policy maintained pursuant to this Section 3.08(a)
in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such
reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or to permit recovery
thereunder.
All insurance policies required hereunder shall name (i) the Trustee
or (ii) the Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the
mortgagee, as loss payee.
Any determination made by the Servicer or the Special Servicer that
insurance is not commercially reasonably available shall be subject to
confirmation by Fitch, S&P and Xxxxx'x that such determination not to purchase
such insurance will not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of
the then current ratings assigned to the Certificates rated by Fitch, S&P and
Xxxxx'x, provided that the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be
required to maintain such insurance while Fitch, S&P and Xxxxx'x consider such
determination. Further, provided that if the Rating Agencies require the
maintenance of insurance the costs to the Servicer or Special Servicer of
maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this Section 3.08 and any costs of
obtaining a confirmation from Fitch, S&P and Xxxxx'x as contemplated below shall
be paid by the Servicer as a Property Advance and shall be reimbursable to the
Servicer with interest at the Advance Rate, which reimbursement may be effected
under Section 3.06(ii) or (vii).
(b) (I) If the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and
hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties (other than REO Properties) as
to which the related Borrower has not maintained insurance required by the
related Mortgage Loan or on all of the REO Properties, as the case may be, it
shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations
concerning the maintenance of insurance coverage set forth in Section 3.08(a).
Any such blanket insurance policy shall be maintained with a Qualified Insurer.
A blanket insurance policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i)
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a), and (ii) there shall
have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had
it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account from its own
funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such
deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible
limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan, or, in the absence of
any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent
with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as Servicer or
Special Servicer hereunder, as applicable, the Servicer or the Special Servicer,
respectively, agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee
and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy which it maintains
in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such
reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or permit recovery
thereunder.
(II) If the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, causes any
Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a master force placed
insurance policy, such policy shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer and provide
no less coverage in scope and amount for such Mortgaged Property or REO Property
than the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.08(a) in
which case the Servicer or Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have
satisfied its respective obligations to maintain insurance pursuant to Section
3.08(a). Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall
not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a
policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a), and (ii)
there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a
policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account
from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under such policy because of
such deductible to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible
limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan, or, in the absence of
any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent
with the Servicing Standard.
(c) The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall maintain a
fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the servicing requirements
of prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders and loan servicers with the
Trustee named as loss payee. The Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be
deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its respective Affiliates
has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer and the Special Servicer,
as applicable. In addition, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall keep in
force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance
covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and
employees in connection with its obligations to service the Mortgage Loans
hereunder in the form and amount that would meet the servicing requirements of
prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders and loan servicers with the
Trustee named as loss payee. The Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause
each and every sub-servicer for it to maintain, or cause to be maintained by any
agent or contractor servicing any Mortgage Loan on behalf of such sub-servicer,
a fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy which satisfy the
requirements for the fidelity bond and the errors and omissions policy to be
maintained by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to
this Section 3.08(c). All fidelity bonds and policies of errors and omissions
insurance obtained under this Section 3.08(c) shall be issued by a Qualified
Insurer.
Section 3.09 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements; Defeasance Provisions.
(a) If any Mortgage Loan contains a provision in the nature of a
"due-on-sale" clause, which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the
mortgagee's option) become due and payable upon the sale or
other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged
Property, or
(ii) provides that such Mortgage Loan may not be assumed without
the consent of the related mortgagee in connection with any
such sale or other transfer,
then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund other than
a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall notify the Special
Servicer of requests for waiver of or any breach of any due-on-sale of which the
Servicer has actual knowledge and deliver copies of all related Mortgage Files
(either in electronic or hard copy form, as mutually agreed upon by the Servicer
and the Special Servicer) to the Special Servicer (and the Depositor will pay
the reasonable costs in obtaining such copies; provided, that if the Depositor
does not pay such costs within 30 days of the request thereof by the Servicer,
such costs shall constitute a Property Advance hereunder) and, except as
provided in the next sentence, the Special Servicer shall enforce such due on
sale clauses. With respect to all Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer will be
solely responsible for making the determination in accordance with the Servicing
Standard and on behalf of the Trust Fund, whether to enforce such due-on-sale
clause and in connection therewith shall not be required to (x) accelerate
payments thereon or (y) withhold its consent to such an assumption if (A) such
provision is not exercisable under applicable law or such exercise is reasonably
likely to result in meritorious legal action by the Borrower or (B) the Special
Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that permitting
such assumption or granting such consent would be likely to result in an equal
or greater recovery, on a present value basis (discounting at the related
Mortgage Rate) than would enforcement of such clause. If the Special Servicer
determines that permitting such assumption or granting of such consent would
likely result in an equal or greater recovery or such provision is not legally
enforceable, the Special Servicer is authorized to take or enter into an
assumption agreement from or with the Person to whom the related Mortgaged
Property has been or is proposed to be conveyed, and to release the original
Borrower from liability upon the Mortgage Loan and substitute the new Borrower
as obligor thereon, provided, that (a) the credit status of the prospective new
Borrower is in compliance with the Special Servicer's regular commercial
mortgage origination or servicing standards and criteria and the terms of the
related Mortgage and (b) the Special Servicer has received written confirmation
from each Rating Agency that such assumption or substitution would not, in and
of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current
ratings assigned to the Certificates; provided, however, that no such written
confirmation shall be required if the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan or group of cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans or group of Mortgage Loans
to affiliated Borrowers, as the case may be, is (x) for Fitch IBCA, not one of
the ten largest Mortgage Loans, by outstanding principal balance, in the Trust
Fund (including in such calculation any concentration of Mortgage Loans with
affiliated borrowers), (y) for Xxxxx'x (i) less than 2% of the total aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the day immediately prior
to the date of determination, (ii) not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans, by
principal balance, in the Trust Fund (including in such calculation any
concentration of Mortgage Loans with affiliated borrowers) and (iii) less than
$15,000,000 and (z) for S&P (i) less than 5% of the total aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the day immediately prior to the
date of determination and (ii) less than $20,000,000. In connection with each
such assumption or substitution entered into by the Special Servicer, the
Special Servicer shall give prior written notice thereof to the Servicer. The
Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption or
substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (with a
copy to the Servicer) the original copy of such agreement, which copies shall be
added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a
part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and
instruments constituting a part thereof. In connection with the requirement
under this Section 3.09(a) that the Servicer notify the Special Servicer with
respect to any request for a consent to an assumption, the Servicer shall
provide ten (10) Business Days' notice of such request and shall provide all
information in the possession of the Servicer reasonably requested by the
Special Servicer. A Mortgage Loan will not be considered a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan solely due to any action taken by the Special Servicer under this
Section 3.09(a), and in connection with those responsibilities, the Special
Servicer will not be entitled to the Special Servicing Fee solely for any action
it takes under this Section 3.09(a).
(b) If any Mortgage Loan contains a provision in the nature of a
"due-on-encumbrance" clause, which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the
mortgagee's option) become due and payable upon the creation
of any lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged
Property, or
(ii) requires the consent of the related mortgagee to the creation
of any such lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged
Property,
then, except as provided in the next sentence, the Special Servicer shall
enforce such due-on-encumbrance clause. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the
Trust Fund, shall not be required to enforce such due-on-encumbrance clause and
in connection therewith will not be required to (x) accelerate the payments on
the related Mortgage Loan or (y) withhold its consent to such lien or
encumbrance, if the Special Servicer (A) determines, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, that such enforcement would not be in the best interests of
the Trust Fund or, with respect to a consent, that granting such consent would
be consistent with the Servicing Standard and (B) receives prior written
confirmation from each of Fitch, S&P and Xxxxx'x that granting such consent
would not, in and of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of
any of the then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates. The term
"encumbrance" as used in this Section 3.09(b) and in Section 3.28(b) shall be
deemed to exclude items which might ordinarily be considered by a title company
to be exceptions to title (e.g., leases, subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreements, easements and similar items) (collectively, "Beneficial
Title Exceptions") but which (i) are subordinate to the Mortgage, (ii) do not
adversely impact Debt Service Coverage Ratio and (iii) do not secure any debt;
provided, however, that the exception in question may secure debt of a tenant
under a lease in a Mortgaged Property so long as (a) such debt is only secured
by furniture, fixtures or equipment owned by the tenant (which are capable of
being removed without damaging the building which is a part of the Mortgaged
Property or the tenant is responsible for repairing any damage to such building
upon such removal) and the exception does not purport to encumber in any manner
the real estate which is a part of the Mortgaged Property, and (b) the Special
Servicer's consent to the exception otherwise meets the Servicing Standard. Such
Beneficial Title Exceptions shall not require the written confirmation from any
Rating Agency to the effect that such action would not result in the
qualification, downgrade, or withdrawal of the rating then assigned by such
Rating Agency to any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that the consent
by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to such Beneficial
Title Exception shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan that prohibits any mezzanine
financing or requires consent of the related mortgagee before the parent of the
borrower may incur mezzanine debt secured by the equity in such borrower, the
Special Servicer may provide such consent only after it has received written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that mezzanine additional debt would not,
in and of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the
then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates.
If pursuant to Section 3.28(b) the Servicer forwards to the Special
Servicer a request by the Borrower for consent to an encumbrance under this
Section 3.09(b) with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, such
non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan will not be considered a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan solely due to any action taken by the Special Servicer under this
Section 3.09(b), and in connection with those responsibilities, the Special
Servicer will not be entitled to the Special Servicing Fee solely for any action
it takes under this Section 3.09(b).
(c) Nothing in this Section 3.09 shall constitute a waiver of the
Trustee's right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption
of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property
or the creation of any lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged
Property.
(d) In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any
action pursuant to this Section 3.09, the Special Servicer shall not agree to
modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into
pursuant to Section 3.09(a) shall contain any terms that are different from, any
term of any Mortgage Loan or the related Note, other than pursuant to Section
3.29.
(e) With respect to any Mortgage Loan which permits release of
Mortgaged Properties through defeasance:
(i) In the event such Mortgage Loan permits or requires that the
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, purchase the required
non-callable U.S. government obligations backed by the full
faith and credit of the United States, sufficient to make all
payments on the related Note in accordance with its terms
("Defeasance Collateral"), the Servicer shall purchase or
cause to be purchased (upon receipt of sufficient funds from
the Borrower exercising such right of defeasance) such
obligations, at the Borrower's expense, in accordance with the
terms of such Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer shall
not accept the amounts paid by the related Borrower to effect
defeasance until acceptable U.S. government obligations have
been identified.
(ii) To the extent permitted by such Mortgage Loan, the Servicer
shall require an Opinion of Counsel to the related Borrower
(which shall be an expense of the related Borrower) to the
effect that the Trustee has a first priority security interest
in the defeasance deposit and the Defeasance Collateral and
the assignment thereof is valid and enforceable; such opinion,
together with any other certificates or documents to be
required in connection with such defeasance shall be in form
and substance acceptable to each Rating Agency.
(iii) The Servicer shall require a certificate at the related
Borrower's expense from an Independent certified public
accountant certifying that the Defeasance Collateral complies
with the requirements of the related Loan Agreement or
Mortgage and are sufficient to make all payments under the
related Note on a timely basis (which, to the extent permitted
by the Mortgage Loan, shall be at Borrower's expense). The
Servicer shall provide to the Rating Agencies trade
confirmations or other appropriate evidence that establishes
that the projection of cash flows in this certificate based
upon the correct maturity dates and interest rates of the
securities actually purchased.
(iv) Prior to permitting release of any Mortgaged Property through
defeasance, if the related Mortgage Loan so requires and
provides for the related Borrower to pay the cost thereof, the
Servicer shall require an Opinion of Counsel of the related
Borrower to the effect that such release will not cause the
Upper-Tier REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the Loan
REMICs to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding or cause a tax to be imposed on
the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions.
(v) Prior to permitting release of any Mortgaged Properties
through defeasance, or any assumption related to such
defeasance, to the extent not inconsistent with the related
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall obtain written confirmation
from each Rating Agency, that such defeasance would not, in
and of itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or
withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to the
Certificates (which, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage
Loan documents, shall be at Borrower's expense).
(vi) In the event that the Borrower fails to pay for any expense
for which it is obligated as described in this Section
3.09(e), then the Servicer shall not purchase any non-callable
U.S. government obligations or consent to the proposed
defeasance. If the Servicer determines that (A) the Borrower
is not obligated under the Mortgage Loan documents to pay any
such expense or (B) failure to permit such defeasance in the
Servicer's reasonable judgment and in accordance with the
Servicing Standard would result in the Borrower defaulting
under the related Mortgage Loan and that such default would
result in a lesser net recovery with respect to the related
Mortgage Loan than would occur if the Servicer were to permit
such defeasance then the Servicer shall implement items
(i)-(v) above, in which case any expenses incurred by the
Servicer and not paid by the Borrower shall be reimbursable as
a Property Advance without triggering a Final Recovery
Determination.
(f) Prior to the defeasance of any Mortgaged Property, the
Depositor shall establish a special purpose entity (the "New SPE"), whose
organizational documents shall provide that its purpose is limited to the
acquisition of Defeasance Collateral and assumption of the related Mortgage Loan
in connection with this securitization, and any such other provisions as the
Rating Agencies may request. The Depositor shall also provide an Opinion of
Counsel with respect to nonconsolidation of the New SPE in form and substance
satisfactory to the Rating Agencies. To the extent consistent with the related
Loan Documents, the Servicer shall require the Borrower to transfer to the New
SPE any defeased Mortgage Loans and the related Defeasance Collateral, which
assignment shall be accepted by the New SPE.
(g) [Reserved]
(h) The Servicer may release the related Mortgaged Property for any
Note that is fully defeased, provided it has confirmed that the requirements set
forth above have been satisfied.
Section 3.10 Appraisals; Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage
Loans.
(a) Contemporaneously with the earliest of (i) the effective date
of any (A) modification of a Mortgage Rate, principal balance or amortization
terms of any Mortgage Loan, (B) extension of the Maturity Date of a Mortgage
Loan as described below in Section 3.29(a), or (C) consent to the release of any
Mortgaged Property or REO Property from the lien of the related Mortgage other
than pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the occurrence of
any Appraisal Reduction Event, (iii) 60 days after a default in the payment of a
Balloon Payment, or (iv) the date on which the Special Servicer, consistent with
the Servicing Standard, requests that an Updated Appraisal be obtained, the
Special Servicer shall obtain an Updated Appraisal (or a letter which updates an
existing appraisal which is less than two years old), the cost of which will
constitute a Property Advance.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a material default under a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section
3.09(a) and (b), the Special Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, accelerate such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and commence a
foreclosure or other acquisition with respect to the related Mortgaged Property
or Properties, provided, that the Special Servicer determines that such
acceleration and foreclosure are more likely to produce a greater recovery to
Certificateholders on a present value basis (discounting at the related Mortgage
Rate) than would a waiver of such default or an extension or modification in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.29 hereof. In connection with any
foreclosure or other acquisition, subject to the second paragraph of Section
3.04(a), the Servicer shall pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings
as an Advance unless the Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that
such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made
pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent permitted by Section 3.06(ii),
(iii) and (vii).
(c) If the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial
foreclosure in accordance with the laws of the state or locality where the
Mortgaged Property is located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to
pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Borrower or any other liable
party if the laws of the state or locality do not permit such a deficiency
judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure or if the Special Servicer determines,
in its best judgment, that the likely recovery if a deficiency judgment is
obtained will not be sufficient to warrant the cost, time, expense and/or
exposure of pursuing the deficiency judgment and such determination is evidenced
by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee.
(d) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired
in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of
sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee (which shall not include
the Special Servicer) or a separate trustee or co-trustee on behalf of the
related Loan REMIC Residual Interest, the related Loan REMIC Regular Interest
and the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and Certificateholders. Notwithstanding any
such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan, such
Mortgage Loan shall (except for purposes of Section 9.01) be considered to be an
REO Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the related REO
Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced only by
collections net of expenses. Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes of all
calculations hereunder, so long as such Mortgage Loan shall be considered to be
an outstanding Mortgage Loan:
(i) it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the
indebtedness evidenced by the related Note shall have been
discharged, such Note and, for purposes of determining the
Stated Principal Balance thereof, the related amortization
schedule in effect at the time of any such acquisition of
title shall remain in effect; and
(ii) Subject to Section 1.02(b), Net REO Proceeds received in any
month shall be applied to amounts that would have been payable
under the related Note in accordance with the terms of such
Note. In the absence of such terms, Net REO Proceeds shall be
deemed to have been received first in payment of the accrued
interest (not including Excess Interest) that remained unpaid
on the date that the related REO Property was acquired by the
Trust Fund; second in respect of the delinquent principal
installments that remained unpaid on such date; and
thereafter, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be
applied to the payment of installments of principal and
accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan deemed to be due and
payable in accordance with the terms of such Note and such
amortization schedule until such principal has been paid in
full and then to Excess Interest and other amounts due under
such Mortgage Loan. If such Net REO Proceeds exceed the
Monthly Payment then payable, the excess shall be treated as a
Principal Prepayment received in respect of such Mortgage
Loan.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the
Special Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund any
personal property pursuant to this Section 3.10 unless either:
(i) such personal property is incident to real property (within
the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by
the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trust Fund; or
(ii) the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an
Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the
Lower-Tier REMIC) to the effect that the holding of such
personal property by the respective REMIC will not cause the
imposition of a tax on the related Loan REMIC, the Lower-Tier
REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or
cause the related Loan REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the
Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificate is outstanding.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, obtain
title to any direct or indirect partnership interest or other equity interest in
any Borrower pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement unless the Special
Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion
shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding of such
partnership interest or other equity interest by the Trust Fund will not cause
the imposition of a tax on any Loan REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any Loan REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC
or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding.
(g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund,
obtain title to a Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest in any
Borrower pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial
owner of a Mortgaged Property, 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 Trustee, for the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders,
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
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Special
Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
based on an environmental assessment report prepared by an Independent Person
who regularly conducts environmental audits, that:
(i) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an
environmental consultant, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as
are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance
therewith, and
(ii) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property
relating to the use, management or disposal of any Hazardous
Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring,
containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under
any currently effective federal, state or local law or
regulation, or that, if any such Hazardous Materials are
present for which such action could be required, after
consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such
actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
In the event that the environmental assessment first obtained by the
Special Servicer with respect to a Mortgaged Property indicates that such
Mortgaged Property may not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws
or that Hazardous Materials may be present but does not definitively establish
such fact, the Special Servicer shall cause such further environmental tests to
be conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts such tests as the
Special Servicer shall deem prudent to protect the interests of
Certificateholders. Any such tests shall be deemed part of the environmental
assessment obtained by the Special Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.
(h) The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(g)
shall be prepared within three months of the determination that such assessment
is required by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental
audits for purchasers of commercial property where the Mortgaged Property is
located and who has at least five (5) years of experience conducting
environmental audits, as determined by the Special Servicer in a manner
consistent with the Servicing Standard. Subject to the second paragraph of
Section 3.04(a), the Servicer shall advance the cost of preparation of such
environmental assessments unless the Servicer determines, in its good faith
judgment, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Special
Servicer shall provide such information as reasonably requested by the Servicer
to determine whether such Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at
the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence in the manner set
forth in Section 3.06.
(i) If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section
3.10(g)(i) that a Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable
environmental laws but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust
Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in
compliance therewith, or if the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section
3.10(g)(ii) that the circumstances referred to therein relating to Hazardous
Materials are present but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust
Fund to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or
remediation of Hazardous Materials affecting such Mortgaged Property as is
required by law or regulation, the Special Servicer shall take such action as it
deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund, but only if the
Trustee has mailed notice to the Holders of the Regular Certificates of such
proposed action, which notice shall be prepared by the Special Servicer, and
only if the Trustee does not receive, within 30 days of such notification,
instructions from the Holders of greater than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights
of such Classes directing the Special Servicer not to take such action.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer reasonably determines
that it is likely that within such 30-day period irreparable environmental harm
to such Mortgaged Property would result from the presence of such Hazardous
Materials and provides a prior written statement to the Trustee setting forth
the basis for such determination, then the Special Servicer may take such action
to remedy such condition as may be consistent with the Servicing Standard. None
of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be obligated to take
any action or not take any action pursuant to this Section 3.10(i) at the
direction of the Certificateholders unless the Certificateholders agree to
indemnify the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to
such action or inaction. Subject to the second paragraph of Section 3.04(a), the
Servicer shall advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or
remediation unless the Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that
such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(j) The Servicer shall report to the IRS and to the related
Borrower, in the manner required by applicable law, the information required to
be reported regarding any Mortgaged Property which is abandoned or foreclosed or
regarding any cancellation of indebtedness with respect to any Mortgage Loan
based upon information provided by the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer
hereby agrees to provide the Servicer with written notification of all
information necessary for the Servicer to make such filings. Such notification
shall be delivered by the Special Servicer for receipt by the Servicer no later
than January 7 of each year during the term hereof by Federal Express or other
reputable national overnight carrier addressed to the two addresses for the
Servicer set forth in Section 10.04 hereof (as changed from time to time by
Servicer in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof). If the Special
Servicer fails or refuses to timely provide such information to the Servicer as
set forth in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to any particular
abandonment or foreclosure (i) the Servicer shall have no liability for any
failure to file such return and (ii) the Special Servicer shall be solely
responsible for any penalties and curative efforts required or imposed by the
IRS. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver a
copy of any such report to the Trustee.
(k) The costs of any Updated Appraisal obtained pursuant to this
Section 3.10 shall be paid by the Servicer as an Advance and shall be
reimbursable from the Collection Account (or from the Cash Collateral Account to
the extent Advances are otherwise reimbursable therefrom pursuant to this
Section 3.10).
Section 3.11 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee or
the Custodian by 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 Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.05 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing
Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. No expenses
incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Trust Fund.
From time to time upon request of the Servicer or Special Servicer
and delivery to the Trustee and the Custodian of a Request for Release, the
Trustee shall promptly cause the Custodian to release the Mortgage File (or any
portion thereof) designated in such Request for Release to the Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon return of the foregoing to the Custodian,
or in the event of a liquidation or conversion of the Mortgage Loan into an REO
Property, receipt by the Trustee of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating
that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited
into the Collection Account or Distribution Account have been so deposited, or
that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, the Custodian shall deliver
a copy of the Request for Release to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable.
Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents prepared by the Special Servicer, its agents
or attorneys, necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a
Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any
Borrower on the Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to
enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Note or Mortgage or
otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a
request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a
statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required, and that
the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or
otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a
lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
Section 3.12 Servicing Fees, Trustee Fees and Special
Servicing Compensation.
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer
shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, which
fee shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as set
forth in Section 3.06(iv). The Servicing Fee with respect to the Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx
Loan and the Geneva Crossing Loan shall be an expense of the Lower-Tier REMIC
with respect to the related Loan REMIC Regular Interest. Late payment charges
and Net Default Interest actually collected on Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
accruing while such Mortgage Loans are Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans shall
be promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Servicer and shall not be
required to be deposited in the Collection Account. The Servicer's rights to the
Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection
with the transfer of all or part of the Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to
receive, as additional Servicing Compensation, (i) any interest or other income
earned on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account maintained by the
Servicer and investment income earned on amounts on deposit in Borrower Accounts
(to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan) with respect to the
Mortgage Loans serviced by it (to the extent such interest or other income is
not required to be paid to the related Borrower pursuant to the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan or applicable law) and (ii) to the extent permitted by
applicable law and the related Mortgage Loans (and not otherwise payable to the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b)), any late payment charges, 50% of
the Assumption Fees for non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, 50% of the
assumption processing fees on non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, loan
modification fees for modifications done by the Servicer in accordance with
Section 3.29(c), loan service transaction fees, Net Default Interest, Prepayment

items (but not including any Prepayment Premiums), in each case to the extent
received and not required to be deposited or retained in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.05; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be
entitled to apply or retain any amounts as additional compensation, any late
payment charges with respect to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which a
default or event of default thereunder has occurred and is continuing unless and
until such default or event of default has been cured and all delinquent amounts
(including any Default Interest) due with respect to such Mortgage Loan have
been paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate Servicing Fee on all
Mortgage Loans and investment income earned on any Principal Prepayments during
the related Collection Period and due to the Servicer on any Distribution Date
shall be reduced as provided in the definition of Servicer Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls applicable to the Servicer.

including all fees of any sub-servicers retained by it (but excluding any Other
Servicers or Other Special Servicers).
(b) (x) The Special Servicer shall receive a Work Out Fee with
respect to each Corrected Mortgage Loan. As to each Corrected Mortgage Loan, the

a "Work Out Fee Rate" of 1% to, each collection of interest (other than Default
Interest and Excess Interest), principal (including scheduled payments,
prepayments and Balloon Payments at maturity) and Prepayment Premiums received
on such Mortgage Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan. The
Work Out Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan will cease to be
payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or if the
related Mortgage Property becomes an REO Property. A new Work Out Fee will
become payable if and when such Mortgage Loan again becomes a Corrected Mortgage
Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns,
it shall retain the right to receive any and all Work Out Fees payable with
respect to Mortgage Loans that became Corrected Mortgage Loans during the period
that it acted as Special Servicer and remained Corrected Mortgage Loans at the
time of such termination or resignation. The successor Special Servicer will not
be entitled to any portion of such Work Out Fees.
(i) The Special Servicer shall receive a "Liquidation Fee" with
respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which
the Special Servicer obtains a full or discounted payoff from
the related Borrower and, except as otherwise described below,
with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO
property as to which the Special Servicer receives any
liquidation proceeds. As to each such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan and REO Property, the Liquidation Fee will be
payable from, and will be calculated by application of a
"Liquidation Fee Rate" of 1% to, the related payment or
proceeds (other than any portion thereof that represents a
recovery of Default Interest or Excess Interest).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, no
Liquidation Fee will be payable based on, or out of
liquidation proceeds received in connection with:
(A) the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by a Mortgage Loan
Seller or NHA for a breach of representation or warranty
so long as such repurchase occurs within the 180-day
cure period;
(B) the purchase of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
REO Property by the Special Servicer;
(C) the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties by the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the
Servicer or the holders of the Class LR Certificates
representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest of
the Class LR Certificates in connection with an optional
termination of the Trust Fund; or
(D) any amount received in connection with the defeasance of
a Mortgage Loan.
(ii) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special
Servicer shall be entitled with respect to each Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, REO Mortgage Loan or Corrected
Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicing Compensation, which
shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection
Account as set forth in Section 3.06(iv). The Special
Servicer's rights to the Special Servicing Compensation may
not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection
with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. In
addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive,
as Special Servicing Compensation, (i) to the extent permitted
by applicable law and the related Loan Documents, any
Assumption Fees, any assumption processing fees for Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and extension or other fees relating to
any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or with respect to
servicing activities performed by the Special Servicer on any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and, with respect to any
Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, fees for any
modification (other than modification fees due to the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.12(a)), extension or other action by the
Special Servicer and 50% of any Assumption Fees and extension
or other fees payable by the related Borrower in connection
therewith; and (ii) any interest or other income earned on
deposits in the REO Accounts.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Special Servicer shall pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder.
(c) As compensation for its activities hereunder on each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Trustee Fee with respect
to each Mortgage Loan and which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the
Distribution Account as set forth in Section 3.06(v). The Trustee shall pay the
routine fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the
Custodian and the Authenticating Agent. The Trustee's rights to the Trustee Fee
may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the
transfer of all of the Trustee's responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder.
(d) The Servicer, Special Servicer and Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Trust Fund for the costs and expenses incurred by them in
the performance of their duties under this Agreement which are "unanticipated
expenses incurred by the REMIC" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(iii); provided that any such costs and expenses that
constitute Property Advances will be reimbursable in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement that relate to Property Advances. Such expenses
shall include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, environmental
assessments, Updated Appraisals and appraisals in connection with foreclosure or
determination of recoverability of an Advance, the fees and expenses of any
administrative or judicial proceeding and expenses expressly identified as
reimbursable in Section 3.06(vii). All such costs and expenses shall be treated
as costs and expenses of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the applicable Loan REMIC.
(e) No provision of this Agreement or of the Certificates shall
require the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent to
expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of their duties hereunder or thereunder, or in the exercise
of any of their rights or powers, if, in the good faith business judgment of the
Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee or Fiscal Agent, as the case may be,
repayment of such funds would not be ultimately recoverable from late payments,
Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds and other collections on or in
respect of the Mortgage Loans, or from adequate indemnity from other assets
comprising the Trust Fund against such risk or liability.
If the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee receives a
request or inquiry from a Borrower, any Certificateholder or any other Person
the response to which would, in the Servicer's or the Trustee's good faith
business judgment require the assistance of Independent legal counsel or other
consultant to the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, the cost of
which would not be an expense of the Trust Fund hereunder, then the Servicer,
the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required
to take any action in response to such request or inquiry unless the Borrower or
such Certificateholder or such other Person, as applicable, makes arrangements
for the payment of the Servicer's, the Special Servicer's or the Trustee's
expenses associated with such counsel (including, without limitation, posting an
advance payment for such expenses) satisfactory to the Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, in its sole discretion. Unless such
arrangements have been made, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee,
as the case may be, shall have no liability to any Person for the failure to
respond to such request or inquiry.

and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's
supervision, (ii) that, to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such

governmental agency or body.
Section 3.15 Annual Independent Public Accountants'
Servicing Report.
On or before March 15 of each year, beginning with March 15, 2001,
the Servicer and the Special Servicer (the "reporting person") each at the

Public Accountants to furnish a statement (an "Accountant's Statement") to the
Trustee, the Depositor and to the Rating Agencies, to the effect that such firm
has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the
similar mortgage loans under similar agreements for the prior calendar year and
that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance
with generally accepted auditing standards and the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for
FHLMC, such servicing has been conducted in compliance with similar agreements
except for such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion
of such firm, generally accepted auditing standards and the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages
serviced for FHLMC require it to report, in which case such exceptions and
errors shall be so reported. Each reporting person shall obtain from the related
accountants, or shall prepare, an electronic version of each Accountant's
Statement and provide such electronic version to the Trustee for filing in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.22 hereof. With respect to
any electronic version of an Accountant's Statement prepared by the reporting
person, the reporting person shall receive written confirmation from the related
accountants that such electronic version is a conformed copy of the original
Accountant's Statement.
Section 3.16 Access to Certain Documentation.
The Servicer and Special Servicer shall provide to any
Certificateholders that are federally insured financial institutions, the
Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the OTS and the supervisory agents and
examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other governmental or
regulatory body to the jurisdiction of which any Certificateholder is subject,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, FDIC, OTS or any such governmental or
regulatory body, such access being afforded only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer or Special Servicer.
Nothing in this Section 3.16 shall require the Servicer and Special Servicer to
violate, in the judgment of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the
Borrowers, and the failure of the Servicer or Special Servicer to provide access
as provided in this Section 3.16 as a result of such law shall not constitute a
breach of this Section 3.16. The Servicer or the Special Servicer may require
that such party execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement customary in the
industry with respect to such information.
In connection with providing or granting any information or access
pursuant to the prior paragraph to a Certificateholder or any regulatory
authority that may exercise authority over a Certificateholder, the Servicer and
the Special Servicer may each require payment from such Certificateholder of a
sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing such
information or access, including, without limitation, copy charges and, in the
case of any such party requiring on site review in excess of three Business

may be made if such information or access was required to be given or made
available under applicable law without charge.

certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee,
on behalf of the Certificateholders, and itself as Holder of the related Loan
REMIC Regular Interest, the related Loan REMIC Residual Interest and the
Lower-Tier Regular Interests. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund,
shall dispose of any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year

Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless (i) the Special
Servicer on behalf of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the related Loan REMIC, as
applicable, has applied for an extension of such period pursuant to Sections
856(e)(3) and 860G(a)(8)(A) of the Code, in which case the Special Servicer
shall sell such REO Property within the applicable extension period or (ii) the
Special Servicer seeks and subsequently receives an Opinion of Counsel (which
opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund), addressed to the Special
Servicer and Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such
REO Property for an additional specified period will not cause such REO Property
to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable
for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional
specified period subject to any conditions set forth in such Opinion of Counsel.
The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall dispose of any REO
Property held by the Trust Fund prior to the last day of such period (taking
into account extensions) by which such REO Property is required to be disposed
of pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner
provided under Section 3.18 hereof. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve,
protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the
purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such
REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception
applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a)).
(b) The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority,
subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to
do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with
the manner in which the Special Servicer manages and operates similar property
owned or managed by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such
terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best
interests of Certificateholders, and, in connection therewith, the Special
Servicer shall agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with
general market standards. Consistent with the foregoing, the Special Servicer
shall cause or permit to be earned with respect to such REO Property any "net
income from foreclosure property," within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the
Code, which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions only if it has
determined, and has so advised the Trustee in writing, that the earning of such
income on a net after-tax basis could reasonably be expected to result in a
greater recovery on behalf of Certificateholders than an alternative method of
operation or rental of such REO Property that would not be subject to such a
tax. The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all revenues received by it
with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and
general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property
a segregated custodial account (each, an "REO Account"), each of which shall be
an Eligible Account and shall be entitled "LaSalle Bank National Association, as
Trustee, in trust for Holders of Commercial Mortgage Asset Trust, Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-C2, REO Account." The REO
Property and the related REO Account with respect to the Geneva Crossing Loan
and the Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx Loan shall be treated as assets of the related Loan
REMIC for all purposes of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall be entitled
to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds
deposited in an REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.07(b). The
Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account
within one Business Day after receipt all revenues received by it with respect
to any REO Property (other than Liquidation Proceeds), and shall withdraw
therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance
of such REO Property and for other Property Protection Expenses with respect to
such REO Property, including:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of any REO
Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of any REO
Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
(iii) all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect,
maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO
Property; and
(iv) any taxes imposed on the Upper Tier REMIC, the Lower-Tier
REMIC or the related Loan REMIC in respect of net income from
foreclosure property in accordance with Section 4.05.
To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the
purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above and the Special Servicer
has provided written notice of such shortfall to the Servicer at least five
Business Days (or such lesser period as may be necessary, in the reasonable
opinion of the Special Servicer, to prevent a material adverse effect on any
Mortgaged Property but in no event less than two Business Days) prior to the
date that such amounts are due, the Servicer shall advance the amount of such
shortfall as a Property Advance unless the Servicer determines, in its good
faith judgment, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided,
however, the Special Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to request Advances
once in any 30 day period to satisfy all such shortfalls. The Special Servicer
shall reasonably cooperate with the Servicer in providing any information
required to determine whether an Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and
the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Special Servicer in providing
any information required to determine whether an Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Servicer does not make any such Advance in
violation of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall make such
Advance; and if the Trustee fails to make any such Advance, the Fiscal Agent
shall make such Advance, unless in either case, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee and
the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination
by the Servicer that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be subject to the standards applicable
to the Servicer hereunder. The Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such Advances (with interest
at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence, to the extent set
forth in Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account
and remit to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account on a monthly
basis prior to or on the related Due Date the Net REO Proceeds received or
collected from each REO Property, except that in determining the amount of such
Net REO Proceeds, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account reasonable
reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other
related expenses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:
(i) permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New
Lease, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any
income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New
Lease, other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real
Property;
(iii) authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property,
other than the repair or maintenance thereof or 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 related
Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of
Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) Directly Operate or allow any Person to Directly Operate any
REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of
acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless such Person is an
Independent Contractor;
unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has requested and received an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer and the Trustee (which
opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) 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 (determined without regard
to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) at any
time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Special Servicer may
take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
The Special Servicer shall be required to contract with an
Independent Contractor the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the
Trust Fund and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of
any REO Property, within 90 days of the Trust Fund's acquisition thereof (unless
the Special Servicer shall have provided the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel
that the operation and management of any REO Property other than through an
Independent Contractor shall not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8)) (which
opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund), provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be
reasonable and customary for the area and type of property and
shall not be inconsistent herewith;
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to
require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the operation and
management of such REO Property, including those listed above,
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and
expenses) to the Special Servicer as soon as practicable, but
in no event later than 30 days following the receipt thereof
by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.17(b) relating to any
such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of
any of its duties and obligations to the Trust Fund or the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to
the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto
to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties
and obligations in connection with the operation and
management of such REO Property.
The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties
and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification.
(c) Promptly following any acquisition by the Trust Fund of an REO
Property, the Special Servicer shall obtain an Updated Appraisal thereof, but
only in the event that any Appraisal or Updated Appraisal with respect thereto
is more than 12 months old, in order to determine the fair market value of such
REO Property and shall notify the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee hereto
of the results of such appraisal. Any such appraisal shall be conducted by an
appraiser who is an MAI and the cost thereof shall be an expense of the Trust
Fund. The Special Servicer shall obtain a new Updated Appraisal or a letter
update every 12 months thereafter.
(d) When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the
amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes,
resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the
furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the
receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect
of, any REO Property in accordance with Sections 3.17(a) and 3.17(b).
Section 3.18 Sale of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and
REO Properties.
(a) The Special Servicer may offer to sell to any Person any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Property, or may offer to purchase
any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Property, if and when the
Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust
Fund. With respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property which
the Special Servicer has determined to sell in accordance with the foregoing,
the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate (
with a copy to the Servicer) to the effect that pursuant to the terms hereof,
the Special Servicer has determined to sell such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan or REO Property in accordance with this Section 3.18. The Special Servicer
may then offer to sell to any Person any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any
REO Property or, subject to the following sentence, purchase any such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property (in each case at the Repurchase Price
therefor), but shall, in any event, so offer to sell any REO Property no later
than the time determined by the Special Servicer to be sufficient to result in
the sale of such REO Property within the period specified in Section 3.17(a).
The Special Servicer shall deliver such Officers' Certificate and give the
Servicer and the Trustee not less than ten Business Days' prior written notice
of its intention to sell any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property,
in which case the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from
any Person for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Property in an
amount at least equal to the Repurchase Price therefor or, at its option, if it
has received no offer at least equal to the Repurchase Price therefor, purchase
the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property at the Repurchase Price.
In the absence of any such offer or purchase by the Special
Servicer, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any
Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price, as
determined in accordance with Section 3.18(b), for such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or REO Property, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an
Interested Person, or is determined to be a fair price by the Trustee in
accordance with Section 3.18(b), if the highest offeror is an Interested Person;
provided, that the Trustee shall be entitled to engage, at the expense of the
Trust Fund, an Independent appraiser to determine whether the highest offer is a
fair price and, further provided, that if the highest offeror is an Interested
Person such offer shall not be accepted if it is less than the Repurchase Price,
unless the Rating Agencies have confirmed, in writing, that such acceptance will
not, in itself, result in the qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the
then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of
its Affiliates may make an offer or purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan or any REO Property pursuant hereto.
The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the
foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special
Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection
of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders. In
addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be
in the best interests of the Certificateholders (for example, if the prospective
buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the
terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer (other than price)
are more favorable), provided that the offeror is not an Affiliate of the
Special Servicer. In the event that the Special Servicer determines with respect
to any REO Property that the offers being made with respect thereto are not in
the best interests of the Certificateholders and that the end of the period
referred to in Section 3.17(a) with respect to such REO Property is approaching,
the Special Servicer shall seek an extension of such period in the manner
described in Section 3.17(a); provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall
use its best efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to sell any REO
Property prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.
(b) In determining whether any offer received from an Interested
Person represents a fair price for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any
REO Property, the Trustee shall engage, at the expense of the Trust Fund, an
Independent appraiser to determine whether the higher offer is a fair price, and
the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or
other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the
expense of the Trust Fund. In determining whether any offer constitutes a fair
price for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Property, the Special
Servicer (if the highest offeror is not an Interested Person) or the Trustee
(or, if applicable, such appraiser) shall take into account, and any appraiser
or other expert in real estate matters shall be instructed to take into account,
as applicable, among other factors, any Updated Appraisal previously obtained,
the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the physical (including environmental) condition of the related
Mortgaged Property or such REO Property, the state of the local economy and the
Trust Fund's obligation to dispose of any REO Property within the time period
specified in Section 3.17(a).
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.17, the Special
Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund in negotiating and taking any
other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, including the collection of
all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or any REO Property shall be without recourse to, or
representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Fund (except that any contract of
sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of
title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust Fund),
and, if such sale is consummated in accordance with the duties of the Special
Servicer, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Fiscal Agent and the Trustee pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, no such Person who so performed shall have any
liability to the Trust Fund or any Certificateholder with respect to the
purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or, if the offeror is
an Interested Person, the Servicer (or the Trustee, if the Servicer is an
offeror).
(d) The Servicer shall file information returns regarding the
abandonment or foreclosure of Mortgaged Properties with the IRS at the time and
in the manner required by the Code based upon information provided by the
Special Servicer. The Special Servicer hereby agrees to provide the Servicer
with written notification of all information necessary for the Servicer to make
such filings. Such notification shall be delivered by the Special Servicer for
receipt by the Servicer no later than January 7 of each year during the term
hereof by Federal Express or other reputable national overnight carrier
addressed to the two addresses for the Servicer set forth in Section 10.04
hereof (as changed from time to time by Servicer in accordance with the terms
and provisions thereof). If the Special Servicer fails or refuses to timely
provide such information to the Servicer as set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence with respect to any particular abandonment or foreclosure (i)
the Servicer shall have no liability for any failure to file such return and
(ii) the Special Servicer shall be solely responsible for any penalties and
curative efforts required or imposed by the IRS.
(e) The proceeds of any sale after deduction of the expenses of
such sale incurred in connection therewith shall be promptly, and in any event
within one Business Day following receipt thereof, deposited in the Collection
Account in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(iv).
Section 3.19 Additional Obligations of the Servicer and
Special Servicer; Inspections.
(a) The Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected (at its
own expense) each Mortgaged Property (other than those Mortgaged Properties
relating to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Properties) securing a Note
with a Stated Principal Balance (or in the case of a Note secured by more than
one Mortgaged Property, an Allocated Loan Amount) of (A) $5,000,000 or more at
least once every 12 months (other than Mortgage Properties securing Credit Lease
Loans), (B) less than $5,000,000 at least once every 24 months and (C) with
respect to a Mortgaged Property securing a Credit Lease Loan, at least once
every 24 months, in each case, such period commencing in November 1999,
provided, however, that in the event the Trustee notifies the Special Servicer
that the long-term unsecured debt rating of the credit tenant or guarantor with
respect to the Credit Lease Loan is downgraded by a full letter rating since
origination by either Rating Agency, then such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged
Properties securing such Credit Lease Loan shall be inspected by the Special
Servicer within six months of such downgrade and, thereafter, at least once
every 24 months. If any Mortgage Loan (i) becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, (ii) has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of less than 1.0 (except with
respect to Credit Lease Loans), or with respect to Credit Lease Loans, the
related credit tenant has defaulted or (iii) is delinquent for 60 days, each
Mortgaged Property related to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be
inspected by the Special Servicer as soon as practicable and thereafter at least
every 12 months for so long as such condition exists. The Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, shall send to the Rating Agencies (providing the Rating
Agencies have not provided instructions to the contrary) within 45 days of
completion, each inspection report. For any Mortgage Loans serviced by the
Servicer, the Special Servicer may inspect a Mortgaged Property upon at least 30
days notice to the Servicer of its intent. Upon completion of the inspection of
such Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall provide a copy of the
inspection report for such property to the Servicer, and Servicer shall be
relieved of its then-current obligation to inspect such property.
The Special Servicer, at its own expense, shall have the right to
inspect Mortgaged Properties that are on the Watch List, provided that the
Special Servicer notifies the Servicer prior to such inspection and provides a
copy of the inspection report for such property to the Servicer. Any such
inspection by the Special Servicer shall be deemed to be the inspection required
pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.
The Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan which is secured by the
interest of the related mortgagor under a ground lease promptly (and in any
event within 60 days of the date on which the Servicer receives the Mortgage
Loan Schedule) notify the related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage
Loan to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and inform
such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related ground lease
should thereafter be forwarded to the Trustee and the Servicer.
(b) With respect to each Mortgage Loan (subject to the rights of
the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.29(c)), the Special Servicer shall enforce
the Trustee's rights with respect to the Manager under the related Loan
Documents and Management Agreement, provided, that, if such right accrues under
the related Loan Documents or Management Agreement only because of the
occurrence of the related Anticipated Repayment Date, if any, the Special
Servicer shall irrevocably waive such right with respect to such date. In the
event the Special Servicer is entitled to terminate the Manager, the Special
Servicer shall promptly give notice to the Trustee (who shall copy the
Certificateholders), the Originator, the Servicer, the Depositor and each Rating
Agency.
Section 3.20 Authenticating Agent.
The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent to execute and to
authenticate Certificates. The Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the
Depositor and the Servicer and must be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or any state, having a
principal office and place of business in a state and city acceptable to the
Depositor and the Servicer, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Trustee shall
serve as the initial Authenticating Agent and the Trustee hereby accepts such
appointment.
Any corporation into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent
shall be party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business
of the Authenticating Agent, shall 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.
The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least
30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Depositor or
the Servicer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of the
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to the
Authenticating Agent, the Depositor and the Servicer. 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 this Section 3.20, the Trustee promptly shall appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent, which shall be acceptable to the Depositor, and shall mail
notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. 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 herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless
eligible under the provisions of this Section 3.20.
The Authenticating Agent shall have no responsibility or liability
for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any
reasonable compensation paid to the Authenticating Agent shall be an
unreimbursable expense of the Trustee.
Section 3.21 Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a
portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a
Custodial Agreement. The Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each
Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the
Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Custodian shall be a
depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority,
shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000, shall have a
long-term debt rating of at least "BBB" from Fitch, "BBB" from S&P and "Baa2"
from Xxxxx'x, unless the Trustee shall have received prior written confirmation
from each Rating Agency that the appointment of such Custodian would not cause
such Rating Agency to withdraw, qualify or downgrade any of its then-current
ratings on the Certificates, and shall be qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Each Custodial Agreement may
be amended only as provided in Section 10.07. Any reasonable compensation paid
to the Custodian shall be an unreimbursable expense of the Trustee. The Trustee
shall serve as the initial Custodian. The Custodian shall maintain a fidelity
bond in the form and amount that are customary for securitizations similar to
the securitization evidenced by this Agreement, with the Trustee named as loss
payee. The Custodian shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one
of its respective Affiliates has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms
of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the
Custodian. In addition, the Custodian shall keep in force during the term of
this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the
errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its
obligations hereunder in the form and amount that are customary for
securitizations similar to the securitization evidenced by this Agreement, with
the Trustee named as loss payee. All fidelity bonds and policies of errors and
omissions insurance obtained under this Section 3.21 shall be issued by a
Qualified Insurer, or shall be otherwise acceptable to the Rating Agencies.

If information for any Exchange Act Report is incomplete by the date
on which such report is required to be filed under the Exchange Act, the Trustee
or, with respect to any Annual Compliance Report which is incomplete or not
timely delivered to the Trustee relating to the Special Servicer or the
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare and

None of the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall (i)
file a Form ID with respect to the Depositor or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to
stop filing reports, statements and information with the Commission pursuant to
this Section unless directed to do so by the Depositor or the continued

Upon the written request of the Depositor, the Trustee shall file a Form 15
relating to the Trust Fund with the Commission and send a copy thereof to the
Trustee and the Depositor.
The Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Depositor,
solicit any and all proxies of the Certificateholders whenever such proxies are
required to be solicited pursuant to the Exchange Act.
(b) The Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans shall, in accordance with such reasonable rules and
procedures as it may adopt (which may include the requirement that an agreement
that provides that such information shall be used solely for purposes of
evaluating the investment characteristics of the Certificates be executed to the
extent the Servicer, or the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans, deems such action to be necessary or appropriate), also, make
available any information relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged
Properties or the Borrowers, for review by the Depositor, the Rating Agencies
and any other Persons to whom the Servicer, or the Special Servicer with respect
to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, believes such disclosure is appropriate,
in each case except to the extent doing so is prohibited by applicable law or by
any related Loan Documents related to a Mortgage Loan. In connection with
providing or granting any information or access pursuant to this paragraph, the
Servicer and the Special Servicer may require payment from the Depositor, or
other Persons (other than the Rating Agencies) of a sum sufficient to cover the
reasonable costs and expenses of providing such information or access,
including, without limitation, copy charges and, in the case of any such party
requiring on-site review in excess of three Business Days, reasonable fees for
employee time and for space; provided that no charge may be made if such
information or access was required to be given or made available under
applicable law. The Servicer or the Special Servicer may require that such party
execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement customary in the industry with
respect to such information.

applicable, upon request. Nothing in this Section 3.22(c) shall require the
Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate, in the judgment of the Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable, any applicable law prohibiting disclosure
of information with respect to Borrower and the failure of the Servicer or the
Special Servicer to provide access as provided under this Section 3.22(c) as a
result of such law shall not constitute a breach of this Section. The Servicer
or the Special Servicer may require that such party execute a reasonable
confidentiality agreement customary in the industry with respect to such
information.
(d) Notwithstanding the obligations of the Trustee set forth in
the preceding provisions of this Section 3.22, the Trustee, Servicer or Special
Servicer may withhold any information not yet included in a Form 8-K filed with
the Commission or otherwise made publicly available with respect to which it has

contrary, the Trustee shall not be required to review the content of any
Exchange Act Report for compliance with applicable securities laws or
regulations, completeness, accuracy or otherwise, and the Trustee shall not have
any liability with respect to any Exchange Act Report filed with the Commission
or delivered to Certificateholders. None of the Servicer, the Special Servicer
and the Trustee shall be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any
information supplied by a Borrower or a third party for inclusion in any Form
8-K, and each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or
expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to any statement
or omission or alleged statement or omission therein. None of the Trustee, the
Special Servicer, and the Servicer shall have any responsibility or liability
with respect to any Exchange Act Report filed by the Depositor, and each of the
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to any statement or omission or
alleged statement or omission therein.
Section 3.23 Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts,
Escrow Accounts and Reserve Accounts.
The Servicer shall administer each Lock-Box Account, Cash Collateral
Account, Escrow Account and Reserve Account in accordance with the related
Mortgage or Loan Agreement, Cash Collateral Account Agreement or Lock-Box

Section 3.24 Property Advances.
(a) The Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.24(b),
the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent) shall make any Property Advances as and to the
extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof. For purposes of
distributions to Certificateholders and compensation to the Servicer, Special
Servicer or Trustee, Property Advances shall not be considered to increase the
principal balance of any Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loan so provide.
(b) The Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Special Servicer
and the Fiscal Agent, in writing promptly upon, and in any event within one
Business Day after, becoming aware that it will be unable to make any Property
Advance required to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection
therewith, shall set forth in such notice the amount of such Property Advance,
the Person to whom it will be paid, and the circumstances and purpose of such
Property Advance, and shall set forth therein information and instructions for
the payment of such Property Advance, and, on the later of (i) the date
specified in such notice for the payment of such Property Advance and (ii) the
fifth Business Day following such notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of Section 3.24(c), shall pay the amount of such Property Advance in accordance
with such information and instructions. If the Trustee fails to make any
Property Advance required to be made under this Section 3.24, the Fiscal Agent,
subject to the provisions of Section 3.24(c), shall make such Advance on the
same day the Trustee was required to make such Property Advance and, thereby,
the Trustee shall not be in default under this Agreement.
(c) None of the Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall be
obligated to make a Property Advance as to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property if
the Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, determines in its
good faith business judgment that such Advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any
determination by the Servicer, that a Property Advance, if made, would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, in determining whether
or not a Property Advance previously made is, or a proposed Property Advance, if
made, would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be subject to the standards
applicable to the Servicer hereunder.
(d) The Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of Property Advances made by
any of them to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(ii) of this

Property Advances, and the Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek
and effect the reimbursement of such Property Advances from the related
Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Loan
Documents.

Special Servicer to service each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(b) The Directing Holders (at the sole cost of the Directing
Holders and without cost to the Trust Fund) shall be entitled to remove the
Special Servicer with or without cause and to appoint a successor Special
Servicer, provided that each Rating Agency confirms to the Trustee in writing
that such removal and appointment, in and of itself, would not cause a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to

Special Servicer shall be removed and replaced pursuant to Sections 7.01(c) and
7.02.
(c) The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer, shall
not relieve the Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent of their respective
obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, the
Servicer shall not be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor
Special Servicer.
(d) No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a
successor Special Servicer shall be effective until the successor Special
Servicer has assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities
hereunder pursuant to a writing satisfactory to the Trustee and each Rating
Agency, as evidenced in writing, and the Trustee has received written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such appointment would not cause any
Rating Agency to qualify, withdraw or downgrade any of its then-current ratings
on any Certificates. Any successor Special Servicer shall make the
representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.04(a) mutatis mutandis.
Section 3.26 Transfer of Servicing Between Servicer and
Special Servicer; Record Keeping.
(a) Upon determining that any Mortgage Loan has become a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof to the
Special Servicer and shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide the
Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original
documents constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including records stored
electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the
Mortgage Loan, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to
assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto without acting through a

the preceding sentence within five Business Days of the date such Mortgage Loan
became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and in any event shall continue to act
as Servicer and administrator of such Mortgage Loan until the Special Servicer
has commenced the servicing of such Mortgage Loan, which shall occur upon the
receipt by the Special Servicer of the information, documents and records
referred to in the preceding sentence, provided that receipt of copies of all
documents in the Mortgage File shall suffice for such purpose. With respect to
each Mortgage Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Servicer
shall instruct the related Borrower to continue to remit all payments in respect
of such Mortgage Loan to the Servicer. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, may agree that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, with respect
to each Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall instruct the related Borrower to remit all payments in respect of
such Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, provided that the payee in respect
of such payments shall remain the Servicer. The Special Servicer shall remit to
the Servicer any such payments received by it pursuant to the preceding sentence
within one Business Day of receipt. The Servicer shall forward any notices it
would otherwise send to the Borrower of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to
the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the related Borrower.
Upon determining that no event has occurred and is continuing with
respect to a Mortgage Loan that causes such Mortgage Loan to be a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice
thereof to the Servicer, and upon giving such notice, such Mortgage Loan shall
cease to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the first
proviso of the definition of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special
Servicer's obligation to service such Mortgage Loan shall terminate and the
obligations of the Servicer to service and administer such Mortgage Loan as a
Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall resume. In
addition, if the related Borrower has been instructed, pursuant to the last
sentence of the preceding paragraph, to make payments to the Special Servicer,
upon such determination, the Special Servicer shall instruct the related
Borrower to remit all payments in respect of such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan directly to the Servicer.
(b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee originals of documents included within the
definition of "Mortgage File" for inclusion in the related Mortgage File (to the
extent such documents are in the possession of the Special Servicer) and copies
of any additional related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence
with the related Borrower, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide
copies of all of the foregoing to the Servicer.
(c) Not later than 3:00 p.m. Central Time on the Business Day
preceding each date on which the Servicer is required to furnish a report under
Section 3.13(a) to the Trustee, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, with a copy to the Servicer a written statement describing, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis (for all Mortgage Loans for which the
Special Servicer is collecting the payments thereon), (i) the amount of all
payments on account of interest received on each Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, the amount of all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the amount of Net
Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the amount of net income or net loss, as
determined from management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or
rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any
rental income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property with respect to
the REO Property relating to each applicable Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan,
in each case in accordance with Section 3.17 and (ii) such additional
information relating to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as the Servicer,
or Trustee reasonably requests to enable it to perform its duties under this
Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsection
(c), the Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of
the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and shall provide the Special Servicer
with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to perform its
duties under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer
with any information reasonably required by the Servicer to perform its duties
under this Agreement.
(e) The Servicer shall maintain all records with respect to
defeased Mortgage Loans.
Section 3.27 Interest Reserve Account.
(a) On each Servicer Remittance Date occurring in February and on
any Servicer Remittance Date occurring in January which occurs in a year which
is not a leap year, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee, in respect of each
Actual/360 Mortgage Loan, for deposit into the Interest Reserve Account, an
amount equal to one day's interest accrued at a per annum rate equal to 31/30 of
the related Mortgage Rate (less the Administrative Fee Rate) on the Stated
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the last day of the then most
recently ended Interest Accrual Period, to the extent a full Monthly Payment or
P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any
consecutive January and February, "Withheld Amounts").
(b) On each Servicer Remittance Date occurring in March, the
Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Interest Reserve
Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January and
February, if any, and deposit such amount into the Distribution Account.
Section 3.28 Limitations on and Authorizations of the
Servicer and Special Servicer with Respect to
Certain Mortgage Loans.
(a) Prior to taking any action with respect to a Mortgage Loan
secured by Mortgaged Properties located in a "one-action" state, the Servicer,
with respect to non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, or Special Servicer, with
respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, as applicable, shall consult with
legal counsel, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Trust
Fund which for the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, will be
reimbursed as a Property Advance in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) With respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan which
permits the related Borrower, with the consent or grant of a waiver by
mortgagee, to incur additional indebtedness, to grant additional encumbrances
against the related Mortgaged Property or to amend or modify the related
Borrower's organizational documents or the organizational documents of the owner
of the Borrower, then the Special Servicer may either consent to such action, or
grant a waiver with respect thereto, only if the Special Servicer determines
that such consent or waiver is likely to result in an equal or greater recovery
on a present value basis (discounted at the related Mortgage Rate) than would
not consenting to such action, and the Special Servicer first obtains written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such consent or grant of a waiver
would not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal
of any of the then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates. If a request is
made with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by a Borrower to the
Servicer for a consent to a request for the Borrower to incur additional
indebtedness, to grant additional encumbrances against the related Mortgaged
Property or to amend or modify the related Borrower's organizational documents
or the organizational documents of the owner of the Borrower, the Servicer shall
forward such request to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be
solely responsible for processing such request in the same manner as set forth
above for Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. If the Servicer forwards to the
Special Servicer any such request by the Borrower with respect to a
non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, such non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
will not be considered a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan solely due to any
action taken by the Special Servicer, and in connection with those
responsibilities, the Special Servicer will not be entitled to the Special
Servicing Fee solely for any action it takes under this Section 3.28(b).
(c) With respect to the Mortgage Loans that require the related
Borrower to pay Rating Agency monitoring or review fees, the Servicer or the
Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, shall enforce the
obligation of the related Borrowers to pay Rating Agency monitoring or review
fees and the Servicer shall remit such fees from the related Cash Collateral
Account for payment of such fees to the applicable Rating Agencies. The Servicer
shall receive bills from the Rating Agencies for monitoring, review and
surveillance of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans on behalf of CCA and
shall promptly notify and send such bills to CCA, Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx. CCA
will notify each Rating Agency to xxxx CCA for such services and to send such
bills to the Servicer. The Servicer shall notify CCA of the portion of the xxxx
that it has paid from funds collected from such Borrowers and CCA will pay such
portion of the xxxx not paid from funds provided by the applicable Borrowers (as
described in this section (c)). Any Rating Agency monitoring or review fees
shall be paid by CCA on an ongoing basis, provided, that if such fees are not
paid by CCA within 30 days after notice from the Servicer, they will be paid
from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class Q-2 Certificates on the next
succeeding Distribution Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and, to
the extent such amounts are insufficient to make payment on such fees, such fees
will be paid by the Servicer and shall constitute a Property Advance hereunder.
(d) With respect to all Mortgage Loans that provide that the
holder of the related Note may apply amounts received thereunder (including,
without limitation, Liquidation Proceeds) against principal, interest and any
other sums due in the order as the holder shall determine, the Servicer shall
apply amounts received in respect of any such Mortgage Loan (after using such
amounts to reimburse the Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, for outstanding Advances and interest thereon (to the extent not
offset by Default Interest) that were made as to such Mortgage Loan) (i) first
to interest (other than Excess Interest or Default Interest) due thereunder;
(ii) next to principal; (iii) next to Default Interest due thereunder; (iv) next
to Prepayment Premiums (excluding any Return of Premium Amounts) due thereunder;
(v) then to any Excess Interest due thereunder; (vi) then to reimburse any
litigation or other expenses incurred in collecting any such amounts received in
respect of such Mortgage Loan and that were not otherwise reimbursed as an
Advance, as described above; (vii) then to any Return of Premium Amounts due
thereunder and (viii) finally to any other sums due thereunder.
(e) With respect to the Mortgage Loans that are ARD Loans, neither
the Servicer (including the Servicer in its capacity as a Certificateholder, if
applicable) nor the Special Servicer shall take any enforcement action with
respect to the payment of Excess Interest or principal in excess of the
principal component of the constant Monthly Payment, other than requests for
collection, until the maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan; provided that
the foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Special Servicer to accelerate
(and to enforce such acceleration of) the amounts due under such Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 3.10(b) hereunder in the event of a failure by a Borrower to
pay any portion of the Monthly Payment when due.
(f) To the extent not inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan,
the Special Servicer shall not consent to a change of franchise affiliation with
respect to a Mortgaged Property unless it obtains written confirmation from the
Rating Agencies that such consent would not, in and of itself, result in a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates; provided, however, that if the Stated Principal Balance of
such Mortgage Loan as of the date immediately prior to the date of determination
plus the principal balance of any Mortgage Loans that are cross-collateralized,
cross-defaulted or made to related borrowers with the Mortgage Loan subject to
such modification is less than the lesser of 2% for Xxxxx'x at the aggregate
Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and $15,000,000, and the
Mortgage Loan is not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund,
such written confirmation shall not be required from Xxxxx'x. If such request is
made with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by a Borrower to the
Servicer, the Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and
the Special Servicer shall be solely responsible for processing such request. If
the Servicer forwards to the Special Servicer any such request by the Borrower
with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, such non-Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan will not be considered a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
solely due to any action taken by the Special Servicer, and in connection with
those responsibilities, the Special Servicer will not be entitled to the Special
Servicing Fee solely for any action it takes pursuant to this Section 3.28(f).
(g) Upon a default in the payment of any amounts due under the
ACCOR Credit Lease Loan or any of the Circuit City Credit Lease Loans, the
Servicer shall provide written notice to the respective Borrower of such
default.
(h) With respect to the Mortgage Loans that are ARD Loans, the
Special Servicer shall be permitted, in its discretion, to waive all or any
accrued Excess Interest if, prior to the related maturity date, the related
Borrower 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 a portion of accrued Excess Interest, provided that the
Special Servicer's determination to waive the right to such accrued Excess
Interest is reasonably likely to produce an equal or greater payment to
Certificateholders on a present value basis (discounted at the related Mortgage
Rate) than a refusal to waive the right to such Excess Interest. Any such waiver
shall not be effective until such prepayment is tendered. Additionally, with
respect to any ARD Loan, the Special Servicer is permitted, in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, to waive the portion of accrued Excess Interest, if any,
accrued at a rate in excess of 2% above the related Mortgage Rate if (i) a
default has occurred or is reasonably foreseeable and (ii) the Special Servicer
has determined that such a waiver is likely to produce an equal or greater
payment to Certificateholders on a present value basis. Neither the Servicer nor
the Special Servicer will have any liability to the Trust Fund, the
Certificateholders or any other Person so long as such determination is based on
such criteria. If such request is made with respect to a non-Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan by a Borrower to the Servicer, the Servicer shall forward such
request to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be solely
responsible for processing such request. If the Servicer forwards to the Special
Servicer any such request by the Borrower with respect to a non-Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, such non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan will not be
considered a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan solely due to any action taken by
the Special Servicer, and in connection with those responsibilities, the Special
Servicer will not be entitled to the Special Servicing Fee solely for any action
it takes pursuant to this Section 3.28(h).
(i) With respect to the Mortgage Loans that (i) require earthquake
insurance, or (ii) (A) at the date of origination were secured by Mortgaged
Properties on which the related Borrower maintained earthquake insurance and (B)
have provisions which enable the Servicer to continue to require the related
Borrower to maintain earthquake insurance, the Servicer shall require the
related Borrower to maintain such insurance in the amount, in the case of clause
(i), required by the Mortgage Loan and in the amount, in the case of clause
(ii), maintained at origination, in each case, to the extent such amounts are
available at commercially reasonable rates. Any determination by the Servicer
that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates shall be
subject to confirmation by S&P that such determination not to purchase such
insurance will not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the
then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates rated by S&P.
(j) The Servicer shall send written notice to each Borrower and
the related Manager and clearing bank that, if applicable, the Servicer and/or
the Trustee has been appointed as the "Designee" of the "Lender" under any
related Lock-Box Agreement.
(k) Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer hereby agrees to
use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to abide by the terms and
conditions precedent to payment of claims under any Residual Value Policies and
to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to take all such action as
may be required to comply with the terms and provisions of such policies in
order to maintain, in full force and effect, such Residual Value Policies. In
addition to complying with all conditions to coverage, the Special Servicer
hereby agrees that it will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to
take any and all actions required under the Residual Value Policy in connection
with any claim, including (i) the timely presentation of a proof of loss
containing all required information, (ii) providing reasonable access to any
Mortgaged Property (but only to the extent such access is available pursuant to
the related Loan Documents, applicable law and the related Credit Lease), (iii)
the providing of any other notices required under the Residual Value Policy in a
timely fashion, and (iv) the timely submission of claims under the Residual
Value Policy to the extent the Special Servicer determines in accordance with
the Servicing Standard that any such claim would not be excluded under the terms
of the Residual Value Policy. Any and all amounts collected under a Residual
Value Policy shall be immediately deposited in the Collection Account, subject
to withdrawal as provided herein.
(l) For any Mortgage Loan as to which, under the terms of the
related Loan Documents, the mortgagee may, in its discretion, apply Insurance
Proceeds, condemnation awards or escrowed funds to the prepayment of such loan
prior to the expiration of the related Lock-out Period, the Servicer may only
make such a prepayment if the Servicer has first consulted with the Special
Servicer (if the Special Servicer is not the Servicer), provided, however, the
Servicer is not obligated to follow the Special Servicer's advice after
consultation.
(m) [Reserved]
(n) The Special Servicer (together with its employees, officers
and directors) shall not utilize the proprietary and nonpublic information that
it becomes aware of in servicing the Mortgage Loans to render advice in
connection with, solicit or otherwise participate in the refinancing of any
Mortgage Loans (whether at maturity or otherwise, unless the Mortgage Loan
Seller confirms in writing that it will not pursue the refinancing of such
Mortgaged Property). The Special Servicer shall not make its Mortgage Loan
servicing system available to the Special Servicer's Affiliates, engaged in the
commercial mortgage origination business for the purpose of refinancing a
Mortgage Loan prior to or at its due date.
(o) The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall administer the
Split Notes in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreements.
(p) Without limiting the obligations of the Servicer hereunder
with respect to the enforcement of a Borrower's obligations under the related
Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicer agrees that it shall use efforts
consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce the provisions of the Mortgage
Loan Documents with respect to the collection of Prepayment Premiums.
(q) In the event that a Rating Agency shall charge a fee in
connection with providing confirmation under this Agreement that a proposed
action, including any enforcement of a due-on-encumbrances clause, will not
result in the downgrade, withdrawal, or qualification of any rating assigned to
any Class of Certificates, the Servicer or Special Servicer shall use efforts
consistent with the Servicing Standard to require the related Borrower to pay
such fee to the full extent permitted under the applicable Mortgage Loan
Documents. If the Borrower fails to pay such fee, then the Servicer and Special
Servicer shall not take such proposed action; provided that if the Servicer or
Special Servicer determines that (A) the Borrower is not obligated to pay such
expense or (B) failure to waive such due-on-encumbrance provision or take such
proposed action will result in the borrower defaulting under the related
Mortgage Loan and that, in the event of such default, failure to waive such
due-on-encumbrance provision or take such proposed action would result in a
lesser net recovery with respect to the related Mortgage Loan than would occur
if the Servicer or Special Servicer were to take such proposed action, the
Depositor shall pay such expenses; provided, that if the Depositor does not pay
such expenses, any expenses incurred by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, shall be reimbursable as a Property Advance.
(r) [Reserved]
(s) To the extent not inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan,
neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall consent to a replacement of
the related Manager with respect to a Mortgaged Property unless it obtains
written confirmation from S&P and Xxxxx'x that such consent would not, in and of
itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current
ratings assigned to the Certificates; provided, however, that if the Stated
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the day immediately prior to the
date of determination plus the principal balance of any Mortgage Loans that are
cross-collateralized, cross-defaulted or made to related borrowers with the
Mortgage Loan subject to such modification is less than the lesser of (x) (i) 2%
for Xxxxx'x and (ii) 5% for Fitch and S&P of the total aggregate Stated
Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and (y) $20,000,000 (or, with respect
to Xxxxx'x, $15,000,000), and the Mortgage Loan is not, at the time of
determination, one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, such
written confirmation shall not be required from the applicable Rating Agency.
(t) To the extent not inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan,
none of the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall consent to a transfer of
ownership interest in any Borrower or beneficial owner of any Borrower with
respect to a Mortgaged Property unless it obtains written confirmation from the
Rating Agencies that such consent would not, in and of itself, result in a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates; provided, however, that if the Stated Principal Balance of
such Mortgage Loan as of the day immediately prior to the date of determination
plus the principal balance of any Mortgage Loans that are cross-collateralized,
cross-defaulted or made to affiliated Borrowers, as the case may be, with the
Mortgage Loan subject to such modification, is (x) for Fitch IBCA, not one of
the ten largest Mortgage Loans by outstanding principal balance, in the Trust
Fund (including in such calculation, any concentration of Mortgage Loans with
affiliated Borrowers), less than the lesser of (y) (i) 2% for Xxxxx'x and (ii)
5% for S&P of the total aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage
Loans and (z) $20,000,000, and the Mortgage Loan is not one of the ten largest
Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, such written confirmation shall not be
required from the applicable Rating Agency.
(u) To the extent not inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer shall maintain all reserve accounts and cash collateral accounts as
Eligible Accounts and shall invest funds in such accounts in Permitted
Investments.
(v) To the extent not inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan,
the Special Servicer shall, as a condition to granting consent to any material
alteration of a Mortgaged Property require any such Borrower to post cash
security in the amount of 125% of the projected cost of such alteration,
provided, however, that if the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as
of the day immediately prior to the date of determination or group of
cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans or group of Mortgage Loans to affiliated
Borrowers, as the case may be, is less than the lesser of (x) 2% of the total
aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and (y) $20,000,000,
and is not, at the time of determination, one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans
in the Trust Fund, such deposit shall not be required. A material alteration
shall be an alteration where the projected cost of such alteration exceeds 5% of
the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan.
(w) Pursuant to the provisions of any Mortgage Loan which provides
for the removal of a property manager, any calculation of Debt Service Coverage
Ratio by the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall use the Mortgage Rate, and
not the Revised Mortgage Rate, regardless of the rate in effect at the time of
such calculation.
(x) The Special Servicer shall not remove any Manager solely
because any Mortgage Loan has reached its Anticipated Repayment Date and there
remains an outstanding principal balance on such Mortgage Loan.
(y) The assignment to the Trust Fund of the ACCOR Credit Lease
notwithstanding, the right of the landlord under the ACCOR Credit Lease to
approve of the substitution of the related Mortgaged Properties under certain
specified circumstances may be exercised only by the Borrower and not by the
Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the
applicable law and the related Loan Documents; provided, that the foregoing
shall not contravene any requirement under the Loan Documents to obtain any
Rating Agency confirmation.
(z) Any Mortgaged Property securing the ACCOR Credit Lease Loan
may not be sold to anyone actively engaged in the management or operation of 30
or more limited service budget motels for as long as the ACCOR Credit Lease is
in effect for such property.
(aa) With respect to any Credit Lease Loan, for as long as the
Residual Value Policy is in effect for this Loan, the Servicer or Special
Servicer shall not modify the terms of the Credit Lease Loan without the consent
of the related insurer and subject to the Servicing Standard.
Section 3.29 Modification, Waiver, Amendment and Consents.
(a) The Special Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing
Standard and the terms of this Agreement, agree to the modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of a Mortgage Loan which is in default or as to which
default is reasonably foreseeable after consultation with the Directing Holders,
provided, in the sole, good faith judgment of the Special Servicer, such
modification, waiver or amendment would increase the recovery to
Certificateholders on a net present value basis documented to the Trustee. The
Special Servicer may either foreclose or elect to grant up to three one-year
extensions on any such Mortgage Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan;
provided, however, that no such extension may extend the final Maturity Date
beyond (a) the date that is two years prior to the Final Rated Distribution Date
or (b) the date that is twenty years prior to the expiration of any related
ground lease.
To the extent that either the Servicer or Special Servicer waives
any Default Interest or late payment charge in respect of any Mortgage Loan,
whether pursuant to Section 3.03(a) or this Section 3.29, the respective amounts
of additional servicing compensation payable to the Servicer and the Special
Servicer out of such Default Interest or late payment charges shall be reduced
proportionately based upon the respective amounts that had been payable thereto
out of such Default Interest or late payment charges immediately prior to such
waiver.
(b) The Special Servicer may, subject to Section 3.29(f) and the
terms of this Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any
modification, waiver or amendment (other than any modifications, waivers or
amendments to any non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan expressly the
responsibility of the Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.29(c)) of any term of any
Mortgage Loan that is not in default or for which a default is not reasonably
foreseeable with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing greater
than 50% of the Voting Rights of the most subordinate Class or Classes of
Certificates then outstanding (provided, for the purpose of determining the most
subordinate Class of Certificates then outstanding, (i) the Class A-1, Class
A-2, Class A-3, Class CS-1 and Class X Certificates collectively and (ii) the
Class N, Class Q-1 and Class Q-2 Certificates collectively will, in each case,
be treated as one Class) representing a minimum of 1.0% of the aggregate initial
Certificate Balances of all Classes of Certificates (or if the Certificate
Balance of such Class or Classes has been notionally reduced based on Appraisal
Reduction Amounts to less than 25% of its initial Certificate Balance, the
holders of the next most subordinate Class) (the "Directing Holders"), subject,
however, to each of the following limitations, conditions and restrictions:
(i) [Reserved];
(ii) the Special Servicer shall not release or substitute material
collateral except as provided in clause (iii) below;
(iii) except as expressly provided in the related Mortgage or in
connection with a material adverse environmental condition at
the related Mortgaged Property or through defeasance or the
assumption of a Borrower's obligations with respect to a
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms thereof and the
provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, the Special Servicer may
not take any action that results in a release of the lien of
the related Mortgage on any material portion of such Mortgaged
Property without a corresponding principal prepayment.
(iv) the Special Servicer shall not permit any Borrower to add any
collateral unless (A) the Special Servicer has first
determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based
upon an environmental assessment prepared by an Independent
Person who regularly conducts environmental assessments, at
the expense of the Borrower, that such additional collateral
is in compliance with applicable environmental laws and
regulations and that there are no circumstances or conditions
present with respect to such new collateral relating to the
use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for
which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment,
clean-up or remediation would be required under any then
applicable environmental laws and/or regulations, (B) the
Special Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel at the
expense of the Borrower, to the effect that the addition of
such collateral will not cause the Upper-Tier REMIC, the
Lower-Tier REMIC or the related Loan REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund
under the REMIC Provisions and (C) the Special Servicer shall
have received written confirmation from each Rating Agency
that such changes will not result in the qualification,
downgrade or withdrawal to the ratings then assigned to the
Certificates;
(v) other than with respect to an amendment, modification or
waiver pursuant to Section 3.29(a), the Special Servicer may
not waive or reduce a Lock-out Period or any Prepayment
Premiums; and
(vi) other than with respect to an amendment, modification or
waiver pursuant to Section 3.29(a), the Special Servicer may
not affect the amount or timing of any scheduled payments of
principal, interest or other amounts (including Prepayment
Premiums) payable under the Mortgage Loan;
provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to oppose the
confirmation of a plan in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving a
Borrower if in its reasonable and good faith judgment such opposition would not
ultimately prevent the confirmation of such plan or one substantially similar.
(c) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.29(b), for
any Mortgage Loan other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Servicer
shall be responsible for any request by a Borrower for the consent of the
mortgagee for a modification, waiver or amendment of any term with respect to:
(i) Approving routine leasing activity (including any
subordination, standstill and attornment agreements) with
respect to leases for less than the lesser of (a) 30,000
square feet and (b) 20% of the related Mortgaged Property;
(ii) Approving a change of the Manager at the request of the
related Borrower subject to Section 3.28(s);
(iii) Approving any waiver affecting the timing of receipt of
financial statements from any Borrower, provided that such
financial statements are delivered no less than quarterly and
within 60 days of the end of the calendar quarter;
(iv) Approving annual budgets for the related Mortgaged Property,
provided that no such budget (1) provides for the payment of
operating expenses in an amount equal to more than 110% of the
amounts budgeted therefor for the prior year or (2) provides
for the payment of any material expenses to any affiliate of
the Borrower (other than the payment of a management fee to
any property manager if such management fee is no more than
the management fee in effect on the Cut-off Date); and
(v) Subject to other restrictions in this Agreement regarding
Principal Prepayments, waiving any provision of a Mortgage
Loan requiring a specified number of days' notice prior to a
Principal Prepayment.
(d) With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment
requested by a Borrower relating to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgaged Loan
which does not fall into one of the categories enumerated in sub-sections
3.29(c)(i)-(v) above, the Servicer shall forward such request to the Special
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be solely responsible for processing
such request. If the Servicer forwards to the Special Servicer any such request
by the Borrower with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, such
non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan will not be considered a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan solely due to any action taken by the Special Servicer, and in
connection with those responsibilities, the Special Servicer will not be
entitled to a Special Servicing Fee solely for any action it takes under this
Section 3.29(d). All modifications, waivers, amendments and other actions
entered into or taken in respect of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section
3.29 shall be in writing. The Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer and the
Trustee, in writing, of any modification, waiver, amendment or other action
entered into or taken in respect of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
3.29, prior to the effective date thereof and the date as of which the related
modification, waiver or amendment is to take effect, and shall deliver to the
Trustee or the related Custodian for deposit in the related Mortgage File (with
a copy to the Servicer) an original counterpart of the agreement relating to
such modification, waiver, amendment or other action, promptly (and in any event
within 10 Business Days) following the execution thereof. Following the
execution of any modification, waiver or amendment agreed to by the Special
Servicer pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, the Special Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee (with a copy to the Servicer) an Officer's Certificate
setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the determination made by it
pursuant to clause (a) and (b) above.
(e) Any payment of interest which is deferred as described herein
shall not, for purposes, including, without limitation, of calculating monthly
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan
so permit or that such interest may actually be capitalized.
(f) The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be
permitted to modify, waive or amend any term of a Mortgage Loan that is not in
default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable pursuant to Section
3.29(b) or (c), only if such modification, waiver or amendment (a) (i) would not
be "significant" as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-2(b), as determined by the Servicer or Special Servicer (and the Servicer
or Special Servicer may rely on an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense
of the Person requesting such modification, waiver or amendment) in making such
determination), or (ii) occurs within three months of the Startup Day, (b) would
be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (c) would not adversely affect
in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder not consenting
thereto. The consent thereto of the Directing Holders or written confirmation
from each Rating Agency that such modification, waiver or amendment will not
result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings
assigned to the Certificates shall not be required, but either shall be
conclusive evidence that such modification, waiver or amendment would not
adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
not consenting thereto.
Section 3.30 [Reserved]
Section 3.31 Servicing of Mortgage Loans Subject to
Co-Lender Agreements.
(a) With respect to each of the Split Notes, the Servicer and
Special Servicer will act as the lead servicer and special servicer,
respectively, with respect to the servicing of the related Split Loans and will
service such Split Loans pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the
Servicing Standard with a view toward the maximization of recovery on both the
Split Note included in the Trust Fund and related Other Note or Other Notes. All
amounts collected by the Servicer (or the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or Special
Servicer, as applicable), with respect to any Split Note shall be allocated in
the manner prescribed in the related Co-Lender Agreement.
(b) With respect to each Split Note, the Servicer (or the Trustee,
Fiscal Agent or Special Servicer, as applicable), will hold the Mortgaged
Property, any insurance thereon (including, but not limited to, property,
casualty and residual value insurance) and any proceeds derived from the Split
Loan or the Mortgaged Property for the benefit of the holders of the Split Note
and the Other Note, and will allocate and pay any such proceeds therefrom in the
manner prescribed in the related Co-Lender Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 4.06 to the
contrary, with respect to any P&I Advance that is made pursuant to Section 4.06
with respect to a Split Note that is in the Trust Fund, such P&I Advance shall
not exceed the amount due with respect to such Split Note.
(d) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 3.24 to the
contrary, with respect to any Property Advance that is made with respect to a
Mortgaged Property securing a Split Note, the Servicer (or the Trustee or Fiscal
Agent, to the extent required by this Agreement), shall advance the entire
amount of such Property Advance, subject to Section 3.24(c). To the extent that
a Property Advance and related Advance Interest Amounts have been determined to
be Nonrecoverable Advances and have not been reimbursed from recoveries in
respect of the related Mortgage Loan, the Servicer (or the Trustee or Fiscal
Agent, as applicable), shall enforce its rights under the related Co-Lender
Agreement against the Other Servicer to collect a pro rata share (based on the
outstanding principal amount of each note) of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The
Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to recover any out-of pocket
expenses incurred in pursuing such recovery from the Other Servicer. To the
extent that the pro rata portion of any Advance allocable to the Other Note and
advanced by the Lead Lender (and any costs of the Servicer to recover such
amounts) is not reimbursed by the related Other Trust Fund within a period of 90
days, such amount shall be deemed to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and shall be
reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.06(ii).
(e) Copies of Certain Materials to Servicers of Other Notes. The
Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Other Servicer, at the
cost of the Other Servicer, the following materials, in writing and on a
computer readable medium reasonably acceptable to the Other Servicer and the
Servicer (and such reports may include any reasonable disclaimers with respect
to information provided by third parties or with respect to assumptions required
to be made in the preparation of such reports as the Servicer deems
appropriate):
(i) Copies of the following reports given to the Trustee: (x) the
Operating Statement Analysis (with operating statements and
rent rolls where provided by the Borrower) and NOI Adjustment

pursuant to Section 4.01(i), the Trustee shall pay to itself from the
Distribution Account the Trustee Fee, and the remaining amounts held in the
Distribution Account shall be withdrawn (to the extent of Available Funds or, in
the case of clause (ii), Prepayment Premiums) and distributed in respect of the
Lower-Tier Regular Interests as follows:
(i) The amounts and timing of principal and interest payments and
Prepayment Interest Shortfall allocations on each Lower-Tier
Regular Interest will be identical to such amounts and timing
on the corresponding Class of Related Certificates for such
Distribution Date, or in the case of the Class A-1-LA and the
Class A-1-LB Interests, the aggregate of such amounts and
timing with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates, except
that, (A) solely for this purpose, all calculations with
respect to the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be
made as though (x) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, 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 Q-1 and Class Q-2
Pass-Through Rates were equal to the Weighted Average Net
Mortgage Pass-Through Rate, (y) each of the Class CS-1 and

Class Interest Distribution Amount with respect to the Class
CS-1 Certificates shall be deemed to be distributed in respect
of the Class A-1-LA Interest and the Class Interest
Distribution Amount in respect of the Class X Certificates
shall be deemed to be distributed in respect of each other
Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests in accordance with the
portion of the Class Interest Distribution Amount with respect
to the Class X Certificates represented by the Certificate
Balance thereof (or, in the case of the Class A-1-LB Interest,
the portion of the Certificate Balance of the Class A-1
Certificates equal to the Class A-1 Component 2 Balance) times
the excess of the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Pass-Through
Rate over the Pass-Through Rate of the Related Certificates

Class of Related Certificates; provided, that Realized Losses
on the Class A-1 Certificates correspond to the Class A-1-LA
and Class A-1-LB Interests in the aggregate, and are allocated
in the same manner as in determining the Class A-1 Component 1
Balance and the Class A-1 Component 2 Balance. Amounts
recovered in respect of any amounts previously written off as
Realized Losses will be distributed to each Class of Related
Lower-Tier Regular Interests, to the extent that amounts
recovered in respect of any amounts previously written off as
Realized Losses are distributed to the corresponding Class of
Related Certificates, allocated in the case of the Class
A-1-LA and the Class A-1-LB Interests as such Realized Losses
were previously allocated thereto.

distribution set forth above in this Section 4.01(a)(i)-(iii)

(v) In the case of the Class A-1-LA and Class A-1-LB Interests,
the aggregate principal balances of such Lower-Tier Regular
Interests shall correspond to the Certificate Balance of the
Class A-1 Certificates; and interest on the Class A-1-LA
Interest and Class A-1-LB Interest shall correspond to
interest on the Class CS-1 and Class X Certificates,
respectively.
(b) On each Distribution Date prior to the Crossover Date, amounts
distributed on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a)
shall be deposited in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, and, subject to the
penultimate paragraph of this Section 4.01(b), Holders of each Class of

(lviii) Fifty-eighth, pro rata based on Certificate Balance, to the
Class Q-1 and Class Q-2 Certificates in reduction of the
Certificate Balances thereof, an amount equal to the Principal
Distribution Amount, less the portion of the Principal
Distribution Amount distributed pursuant to all prior clauses,
until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to
zero (and, with respect to the Class Q-2 Certificates, subject
to Section 3.28(c) of this Agreement);
(lix) Fifty-ninth, pro rata, to the Class Q-1 and Class Q-2
Certificates, for the unreimbursed amounts of Realized Losses,
if any, an amount equal to the aggregate of such unreimbursed
Realized Losses previously allocated to such Classes (and,
with respect to the Class Q-2 Certificates, subject to Section
3.28(c) of this Agreement);
(lx) Sixtieth, to the Class R Certificates.
On each Distribution Date occurring on or after the Crossover Date,
the Principal Distribution Amount will be distributed to the Class A-1, Class
A-2, and Class A-3 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 other amounts
distributable to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class CS-1 and Class X
Certificates shall be distributed pursuant to the priority set forth in this
Section 4.01(b).
All references to pro rata in the preceding clauses with respect to
interest and Class Interest Shortfalls shall mean pro rata based on the amount
distributable pursuant to such clauses, with respect to distribution of
principal other than for unreimbursed Realized Losses shall mean pro rata based
on Certificate Balance and with respect to distributions with respect to
unreimbursed Realized Losses shall mean pro rata based on the amount of
unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to the applicable Classes.
(c) (xi) On each Distribution Date, following the distribution from
the Distribution Account in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests pursuant
to Section 4.01(c)(ii), the Paying Agent shall make distributions of any
Prepayment Premiums (subject to any portion payable to the Special Servicer as a
portion of the Work Out Fee for any Mortgage Loan) with respect to any Principal
Prepayments received in the related Collection Period from amounts deposited in
the Upper-Tier Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(c) in the following
amounts (as additional payments and not as payments of interest and principal
due thereunder) and order of priority, with respect to the Certificates of each
Class in each case to the extent remaining amounts of Prepayment Premiums are
available therefor:
(I) to the extent that such Prepayment Premium is paid with
respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Premium Loan,
then the amount of such Prepayment Premium will be
distributed on the related Distribution Date to the
Holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class B,
Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Certificates in an
amount up to, in the case of each such Class, the
product of (a) such Prepayment Premium, (b) the Discount
Rate Fraction for such Class and (c) the Principal
Allocation Fraction of such Class. The "Discount Rate
Fraction" for any such Class of Certificates is equal to
a fraction (not greater than 1.0 or less than zero) the
numerator of which is equal to the excess, if any, of
(x) the Pass-Through Rate for such Class of Certificates
over (y) the applicable Prepayment Premium Discount Rate
(as defined below), and the denominator of which is
equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Net Mortgage
Pass-Through Rate of such Mortgage Loan over (y) the
applicable Prepayment Premium Discount Rate. With
respect to any Distribution Date and each such Class of
Certificates, the "Principal Allocation Fraction" is a
fraction, the numerator of which is the portion, if any,
of the Principal Distribution Amount allocated to such
Class of Certificates for such Distribution Date, and
the denominator of which is the entire Principal
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date. The
portion of the Prepayment Premium remaining, if any,
after the payment of the amount calculated as described
above will be distributed to the holders of the Class
CS-1 and Class X Certificates, pro rata, based upon the
Class A-1 Component 1 Balance and the Class A-1
Component 2 Balance, respectively. The "Prepayment
Premium Discount Rate" means the yield (compounded
monthly) on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with
a maturity date closest to the Assumed Final
Distribution Date of the subject Class. In the event
that there are two such U.S. Treasury issues (a) with
the same coupon, the issue with the lower yield will be
utilized, and (b) with maturity dates equally close to
the Assumed Final Distribution Date, the issue with the
earliest maturity date will be utilized;
(II) to the extent that such Prepayment Premium is paid with
respect to a Premium Loan that has a Base Interest Rate,
net of the Administrative Fee Rate (the "Net Base Rate")
equal to or lower than the Pass-Through Rate in effect
on such Distribution Date for the Class of Public
Certificates that received distributions in reduction of
its Certificate Balance on such Distribution Date (the
"Reference Pass-Through Rate"), then the amount of such
Prepayment Premium will be distributed to the Class CS-1
and Class X Certificates, pro rata, based upon the Class
A-1 Component 1 Balance and the Class A-1 Component 2
Balance, respectively; provided that if more than one
Class of Public Certificates receives distributions in
reduction of Certificate Balance on such Distribution
Date, the Reference Pass-Through Rate will be equal to
the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates for such
Classes for such Distribution Date (weighted on the
basis of the respective Certificate Balances thereof
outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution
Date); and
(III) to the extent that such Prepayment Premium is paid with
respect to a Premium Loan that has a Net Base Rate
higher than the Reference Pass-Through Rate for such
Distribution Date, then the amount of such Prepayment
Premium will be allocated between the Class CS-1 and
Class X Certificates (pro rata, based upon the Class A-1
Component 1 Balance and the Class A-1 Component 2
Balance, respectively) and the Class or Classes of
Public Certificates that received distributions in
reduction of Certificate Balance on such Distribution
Date in the following proportions: to the Class CS-1 and
Class X Certificates a fraction of such Prepayment
Premium the numerator of which is the excess of the Net
Mortgage Pass-Through Rate of the related Mortgage Loan
over the Net Base Rate and the denominator of which is
the excess of the Net Mortgage Pass-Through Rate of the
related Mortgage Loan over the Reference Pass-Through
Rate; and the balance to the Class or Classes of Public
Certificates receiving distributions in reduction of
Certificate Balance on such Distribution Date, pro rata
in accordance with the amounts by which their
Certificate Balances were so reduced.
In all clauses above, Prepayment Premiums will only be distributed
to any particular Class on a Distribution Date (i) if the respective Certificate
Balance, Notional Balance of such Class is greater than zero on the last
Business Day of the Interest Accrual Period ending immediately prior to such
Distribution Date and (ii) if the amount computed pursuant to the relevant
clause above is greater than zero for such Class. Any Prepayment Premiums
remaining following the distributions described in the preceding clauses (I)
through (III) shall be distributed to holders of the Class Q-2 Certificates
regardless of whether the Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero
(subject to Section 3.28(c) of this Agreement).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Prepayment Premiums shall be
distributed on any Distribution Date only to the extent they (i) are received in
respect of the Mortgage Loans in the related Collection Period and (ii) are not
otherwise payable to the Special Servicer as a part of the Work Out Fee or the
Liquidation Fee.
(i) On each Distribution Date, prior to the distributions to the
Certificates from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account pursuant
to Section 4.01(c)(i), the Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall
receive distributions in respect of Prepayment Premiums in
proportion to their Certificate Balances.
(d) The Certificate Balance of each Class of Regular Certificates
(other than the Class CS-1 and Class X Certificates) will be reduced without
distribution on any Distribution Date as a write-off to the extent of any
Realized Losses allocated to such Class with respect to such date. The Realized
Loss for any Distribution Date will be allocated to Classes of Regular
Certificates (other than the Class CS-1 and Class X Certificates) in the
following order, in each case until the Certificate Balance of such Class is
reduced to zero: first, to the Class Q-1 and Class Q-2 Certificates, pro rata,
based on their respective Certificate Balances; second, to the Class N
Certificates; third, to the Class M Certificates; fourth, to the Class L
Certificates; fifth, to the Class K Certificates; sixth, to the Class J
Certificates; seventh, to the Class H Certificates; eighth, to the Class G
Certificates; ninth, to the Class F Certificates; tenth, to the Class E
Certificates; eleventh, to the Class D Certificates; twelfth, to the Class C
Certificates; thirteenth, to the Class B Certificates; and fourteenth, to the
Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates, pro rata, based on their
respective Certificate Balances.
Realized Losses and such other amounts described above which are
applied to each Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class CS-1 and
Class X Certificates) will be allocated to reduce the Certificate Balance of the
Class of Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests as provided in Section
4.01(a)(iii) and, with respect to the Mortgage Loan that incurred such Realized
Loss, the related Loan REMIC Regular Interest.
(e) All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant
to this Section 4.01 on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among
the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective
Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date
other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the
related Record Date by check mailed by first Class mail to the address set forth
therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Holder shall have
provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located
in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final
distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee.
(f) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 with respect to
an Anticipated Termination Date, the Trustee shall, no later than the fifteenth
day of the month in the month preceding the month in which the final
distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made,
mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates, on such date a notice to the
effect that:
(A) the Trustee reasonably expects based upon information
previously provided to it that the final distribution
with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made
on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the
Trustee therein specified, and
(B) if such final distribution is made on such Distribution
Date, no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from
and after such Distribution Date;
provided, however, that the Residual Interests shall remain outstanding until
there is no other Class of Regular Certificates, Lower-Tier Regular Interests or
related Loan REMIC Regular Interests outstanding and the Class Q-2 Certificates
shall be deemed to be outstanding so long as there are any Mortgage Loans
outstanding that provide for payments of Prepayment Premiums in connection with
voluntary or involuntary prepayments.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of such Classes
of Certificates on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder
or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and
held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or
Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this
Section 4.01(f) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Holders to surrender their Certificates
for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may, directly or through an
agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Holders
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding
such funds in trust and of contacting such Holders shall be paid out of such
funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the
Trustee all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Trustee shall
thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier
of (i) its termination as Trustee hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to
a successor Trustee and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution
of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Trustee
as a result of such Holder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final
payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(f). Any such amounts
transferred to the Trustee may be invested in Permitted Investments and all
income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall be for the benefit
of the Trustee.
(g) [Reserved]
(h) The Certificate Balances of the Class B, Class C, Class D,
Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N,
Class Q-1 and Class Q-2 Certificates shall be notionally reduced on any
Distribution Date to the extent of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect
to such Distribution Date. Any such reductions shall be applied notionally,
first, to the Class Q-1 and Class Q-2 Certificates, second, to the Class N
Certificates, third, to the Class M Certificates, fourth, to the Class L
Certificates, fifth, to the Class K Certificates, sixth, to the Class J
Certificates, seventh, to the Class H Certificates, eighth, to the Class G
Certificates, ninth, to the Class F Certificates, tenth, to the Class E
Certificates, eleventh, to the Class D Certificates, twelfth, to the Class C
Certificates, and finally, to the Class B Certificates (provided in each case
that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class shall be notionally
reduced below zero). Once a Final Recovery Determination has been made with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, any applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount applied
to the Certificates shall be reversed in its entirety.
(i) All payments made on the Mortgage Loans (or subsequently
acquired REO Property) which are assets of the Loan REMICs shall be deemed to be
paid to the Lower-Tier REMIC before payments are made to the holders of the
Lower-Tier Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a), and shall be treated
as principal, interest or Prepayment Premiums, as the case may be, based on
these characterizations with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or REO
Property), except where expressly noted and, in addition, any payment of
principal on, or Realized Loss with respect to, a Mortgage Loan in a Loan REMIC
shall reduce the principal balance of the related Loan REMIC Regular Interest.
Any payments on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans which are assets of the
Loan REMICs in excess of the principal, interest and Prepayment Premiums
distributable on the related Loan REMIC Regular Interest shall be distributable
to the Class LR Certificate in respect of amounts distributed on the related
Loan REMIC Residual Interest.
(j) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute (i) to
the Holders of the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E,

Certificate Balances, all amounts on deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution
Account (and, with respect to the Class Q-2 Certificates, subject to Section
3.28(c) of this Agreement); and (ii) to the Holders of the Class X Certificates,
all amounts on deposit in the Repurchase Price Return of Premium Distribution
Account.

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Trustee shall send to each Person who at any time during the calendar

Special Servicer to violate any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of

Servicer or the Special Servicer to disseminate information for such reason
shall not be a breach hereof.
Section 4.03 Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying
Agent shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Paying Agent reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding. The Paying
Agent agrees that it will not withhold with respect to payments of interest or
original issue discount in the case of a Holder that is non-U.S. Person that has
furnished or caused to be furnished (i) an effective Form W-8 or Form W-9 or an
acceptable substitute form or a successor form and who is not a "10-percent
shareholder" within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3)(B) or a "controlled
foreign corporation" described in Code Section 881(c)(3)(C) with respect to the
Trust Fund or the Depositor, or (ii) an effective Form 4224 or an acceptable
substitute form or a successor form. In the event the Paying Agent or its agent
withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or
advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding
requirements, the Paying Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholder. Any amount so withheld shall be treated as having been
distributed to such Certificateholder for all purposes of this Agreement.
Section 4.04 REMIC Compliance.
(a) The parties intend that each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the
Lower-Tier REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of each of the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify it
as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in, and in accordance
with, the REMIC Provisions, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted
consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, act as agent, and is hereby
appointed to act as agent, of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier
REMIC and shall on behalf of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier
REMIC: (i) prepare, sign and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all
required Tax Returns for each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC,
using a calendar year as the taxable year for each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and
the Lower-Tier REMIC when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other
applicable federal, state or local income tax laws; (ii) make an election, on
behalf of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, to be treated
as a REMIC on Form 1066 for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC
Provisions; (iii) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to
the Certificateholders and the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state and
local tax authorities all information reports as and when required to be
provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions of the Code and Section
4.07; (iv) if the filing or distribution of any documents of an administrative
nature not addressed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.04(a) is
then required by the REMIC Provisions in order to maintain the status of the
Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by
the Code, prepare, sign and file or distribute, or cause to be prepared and
signed and filed or distributed, such documents with or to such Persons when and
as required by the REMIC Provisions or the Code or comparable provisions of
state and local law; (v) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or
cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as
otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the Person
that the Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating
thereto (and the Trustee shall act as the representative of the Upper-Tier REMIC
for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required
by such Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the
manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within 10 Business Days of
the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee and necessary to make such
filing); and (vi) maintain such records relating to each of the Upper-Tier REMIC
and the Lower-Tier REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns,
schedules, statements or information, such records, for federal income tax
purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. The
Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R and Class LR
Certificates shall be the tax matters person of the Upper-Tier REMIC, on the one
hand, and the Lower-Tier REMIC and each of the Loan REMICs, on the other hand,
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d). If more than one Holder
should hold an equal Percentage Interest in the Class R or Class LR Certificates
larger than that held by any other Holder, the first such Holder to have
acquired such Class R or Class LR Certificates shall be such tax matters person.
The Trustee shall act as attorney-in-fact and agent for the tax matters person
of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC and each of the Loan
REMICs, and each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R or Class LR
Certificates, by acceptance hereof, is deemed to have consented to the Trustee's
appointment in such capacity and agrees to execute any documents required to
give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection with any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding shall be paid
by the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall not intentionally take any action or
intentionally omit to take any action if, in taking or omitting to take such
action, the Trustee knows that such action or omission (as the case may be)
would cause the termination of the REMIC status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC or the imposition of tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC (other than a tax on income expressly permitted or contemplated
to be received by the terms of this Agreement). Notwithstanding any provision of
this paragraph to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be required to take any
action that the Trustee in good faith believes to be inconsistent with any other
provision of this Agreement, nor shall the Trustee be deemed in violation of
this paragraph if it takes any action expressly required or authorized by any
other provision of this Agreement, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility
or liability with respect to any act or omission of the Depositor, the Servicer
or the Special Servicer which does not enable the Trustee to comply with any of
clauses (i) through (vi) of the fifth preceding sentence or which results in any
action contemplated by clauses (i) or (ii) of the next succeeding sentence. In
this regard the Trustee shall (i) exercise reasonable care not to allow the
occurrence of any "prohibited transactions" within the meaning of Code Section
860F(a), unless the party seeking such action shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (at such party's expense) that such occurrence
would not (A) result in a taxable gain, (B) otherwise subject the Upper-Tier
REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the highest marginal
corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (C) cause either
the Upper-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC; and (ii)
exercise reasonable care not to allow the Trust Fund to receive income from the
performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions
to be held by a REMIC (provided, however, that the receipt of any income
expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement shall not be
deemed to violate this clause). None of the Servicer, the Special Servicer and
the Depositor shall be responsible or liable (except in connection with any act
or omission referred to in the two preceding sentences) for any failure by the
Trustee to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate in a timely manner with the
Trustee in supplying any information within the Depositor's, the Servicer's or
the Special Servicer's control (other than any confidential information) that is
reasonably necessary to enable the Trustee to perform its duties under this
Section 4.04.
(b) The Trustee shall administer each of the Loan REMICs in
accordance with the respective Loan REMIC Declarations and the REMIC Provisions
and shall comply with and perform all federal and, if applicable, state and
local income tax return and information reporting requirements with respect to
such Loan REMICs, and shall otherwise administer each of the Loan REMICs in the
same manner as specified for the Trust REMICs in Section 4.04(a). Each of the
Geneva Crossing Loan and the Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx Loan shall be serviced and
administered in accordance with the provisions of Article III hereof and the
related Loan REMIC Declaration. The Trustee shall maintain separate accounting
with respect to each of the Loan REMICs sufficient (i) to comply with such
return and information reporting requirements, including quarterly and annual
reporting on Schedule Q to Form 1066 to the holders of the Class LR Certificates
with respect to the Loan REMIC Residual Interests, (ii) to account for the Loan
REMIC Regular Interests as assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC, (iii) to pay or cause
to be paid any federal, state or local income tax attributable to a Loan REMIC
from payments received on or with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, and (iv)
to cause any payments on the related Mortgage Loan in excess amounts
distributable in respect of the related Loan REMIC Regular Interests to be
distributed in respect of the related Loan REMIC Residual Interests.
(c) The following assumptions are to be used for purposes of
determining the anticipated payments of principal and interest for calculating
the original yield to maturity and original issue discount with respect to the
Regular Certificates: (i) each Mortgage Loan will pay principal and interest in
accordance with its terms and scheduled payments will be timely received on
their Due Dates, provided that the Mortgage Loans will prepay in accordance with
the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Servicer, the Depositor and the
Class LR Certificateholders will exercise the right described in Section 9.01 of
this Agreement to cause early termination of the Trust Fund; and (iii) no
Mortgage Loan is repurchased by the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor or a
Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Article II hereof.
Section 4.05 Imposition of Tax on the Trust Fund.
In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties or
assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on the
Upper-Tier REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC, or any Loan REMIC such tax shall be
charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the
Certificates; provided, that any taxes imposed on any net income from
foreclosure property pursuant to Code Section 860G(d) or any similar tax imposed
by a state or local jurisdiction shall instead be treated as an expense of the
related REO Property in determining Net REO Proceeds with respect to the REO
Property (and until such taxes are paid, the Special Servicer from time to time
shall withdraw from the REO Account and transfer to the Trustee amounts
reasonably determined by the Trustee to be necessary to pay such taxes, which
the Trustee shall maintain in a separate, non-interest-bearing account, and the
Trustee shall deposit in the Collection Account the excess determined by the
Trustee from time to time of the amount in such account over the amount
necessary to pay such taxes) and shall be paid therefrom; provided that any such
tax imposed on net income from foreclosure property that exceeds the amount in
any such reserve shall be retained from Available Funds as provided in Section
3.06(viii) and the next sentence. Except as provided in the preceding sentence,
the Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall retain or cause to be retained
from Available Funds sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and
to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by the Upper-Tier REMIC, the
Lower-Tier REMIC or any Loan REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the
Trustee from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund, any such tax in
appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by
law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Trustee is hereby authorized
to and shall segregate or cause to be segregated, into a separate non-interest
bearing account, (i) the net income from any "prohibited transaction" under Code
Section 860F(a) or (ii) the amount of any contribution to the Upper-Tier REMIC,
the Lower-Tier REMIC or any Loan REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to
tax under Code Section 860G(d) and use such income or amount, to the extent
necessary, to pay such tax (and return the balance thereof, if any, to the
Collection Account or the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, as the case may be).
To the extent that any such tax is paid to the IRS, the Trustee shall retain an
equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the
Class R or the Class LR Certificates (or to a Loan REMIC Residual Interest in
respect of the Class LR Certificates), as the case may be, and shall distribute
such retained amounts to the Holders of Regular Certificates, Lower-Tier Regular
Interests or Loan REMIC Regular Interest, as applicable, until they are fully
reimbursed and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates or the Class LR
Certificates (including in respect of a Loan REMIC Residual Interest), as
applicable. None of the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be
responsible for any taxes imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC, Lower-Tier REMIC or
Loan REMICs except to the extent such tax is attributable to a breach of a
representation or warranty of the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee
or an act or omission of the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee in
contravention of this Agreement in both cases, provided, further, that such
breach, act or omission could result in liability under Section 6.03, in the
case of the Servicer or Section 4.04 or 8.01, in the case of the Trustee.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in each such case,
the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be responsible for Trustee's
breaches, acts or omissions, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the
breaches, acts or omissions of the Servicer or the Special Servicer.
Section 4.06 Remittances; P&I Advances.
(a) "Applicable Monthly Payment" shall mean, for any Mortgage Loan
with respect to any month, and subject to section 3.31(c) (A) if such Mortgage
Loan is delinquent as to its Balloon Payment (including any such Mortgage Loan
as to which the related Mortgaged Property has become an REO Property), the
related Assumed Scheduled Payment and (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not described
by the preceding clause (A) (including any such Mortgage Loan as to which the
related Mortgaged Property has become an REO Property), the Monthly Payment
(after giving effect to any modification other than as described in clause (A)
above); provided, however, that for purposes of calculating the amount of any
P&I Advance required to be made by the Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent, notwithstanding the amount of such Applicable Monthly Payment, interest
shall be calculated at the Mortgage Rate. The Applicable Monthly Payment shall
be reduced, for purposes of P&I Advances, by any modifications pursuant to
Section 3.29 or otherwise and by any reductions by a bankruptcy court pursuant
to a plan of reorganization or pursuant to any of its equitable powers.
(b) On the Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each
Distribution Date:
(i) the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account an amount equal to the Prepayment
Premiums received by the Servicer or Special Servicer in the
Collection Period preceding such Distribution Date;
(ii) the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate of the
Available Funds (other than P&I Advances) and the Trustee Fee
for such Distribution Date; and
(iii) subject to Sections 4.06(c) and 4.06(f), the Servicer shall
make a P&I Advance by depositing into the Distribution
Account, in an amount equal to the sum of the Applicable
Monthly Payments for each Mortgage Loan (including any such
Mortgage Loan as to which the related Mortgaged Property has
become an REO Property) to the extent such amounts were not
received on such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on
the immediately preceding Determination Date, unless related
recoveries are received by the close of business on the
Business Day prior to the Servicer Remittance Date (and
therefore are included in the remittance described in the
preceding clause (ii)).
(c) The Servicer shall not be required or permitted to make an
advance for Balloon Payments, Excess Interest or Default Interest. The amount
required to be advanced in respect of a Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in
respect of its Balloon Payment is the Assumed Scheduled Payment of such Mortgage
Loan. The amount required to be advanced by the Servicer in respect of
Applicable Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans that have been subject to an
Appraisal Reduction Event will equal the product of (i) the amount required to
be advanced by the Servicer without giving effect to such Appraisal Reduction
Amounts and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan (as of the last day of the related Collection
Period) less any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect thereof and the
denominator of which is the related Stated Principal Balance (as of the last day
of the related Collection Period).
(d) Any amount advanced by the Servicer pursuant to Section
4.06(b)(iii) shall constitute a P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement
and the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement (with interest at the
Advance Rate) thereof to the full extent as otherwise set forth in this
Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to Advances made in connection
with the ACCOR Credit Lease Loan and the Circuit City Credit Lease Loans, such
Advance shall not accrue interest at the Advance Rate until after the expiration
of their applicable notice and cure periods from the related Due Date while such
Mortgage Loans are non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans only.
(e) If as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Distribution
Date the Servicer shall not have made the P&I Advance required to have been made
on the related Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(iii), the
Trustee shall immediately notify the Servicer and the Fiscal Agent by telephone
promptly confirmed in writing, and the Trustee shall no later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time, on such Business Day deposit into the Distribution Account
in immediately available funds an amount equal to the P&I Advances otherwise
required to have been made by the Servicer. If the Trustee fails to make any P&I
Advance required to be made under this Section 4.06, the Fiscal Agent shall make
such P&I Advance not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business
Day and, thereby, the Trustee shall not be in default under this Agreement.
(f) None of the Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall be
obligated to make a P&I Advance as to any Monthly Payment or Assumed Scheduled
Payment on any date on which a P&I Advance is otherwise required to be made by
this Section 4.06 if the Servicer, the Trustee or Fiscal Agent, as applicable,
determines in its good faith business judgment that such advance will be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. On the fourth Business Day before each Distribution
Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Servicer the Special Servicer's
determination as to whether each P&I Advance made with respect to any previous
Distribution Date or required to be made with respect to such Distribution Date
with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan is in
its good faith judgment a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance; provided, however, the
Special Servicer shall not be liable to the Trust Fund or the Servicer if such
Advance shall be non-recoverable. The Servicer shall be required to provide
notice to the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent on or prior to the related Servicer
Remittance Date of any such non-recoverability determination made on or prior to
such date. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to rely,
conclusively, on any determination by the Servicer that a P&I Advance, if made,
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if the Servicer has
failed to make a P&I Advance for reasons other than a determination by the
Servicer that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee or
Fiscal Agent, as applicable, shall make such advance within the time periods
required by Section 4.06(e) unless the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent makes a
determination in its good faith business judgment prior to the times specified
in Section 4.06(e) that such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, in determining whether or not an Advance
previously made is, or a proposed Advance, if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable
Advance shall be subject to the standards applicable to the Servicer hereunder.
(g) The Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable,
shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances it makes to the extent
permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(ii) of this Agreement together with any
related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such P&I Advances to the extent
permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(iii) and the Servicer and Special Servicer
hereby covenant and agree to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such
Advances from the related Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law
and the related Mortgage Loan.
Section 4.07 Grantor Trust Reporting.
The parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of
(i) the Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, (ii)
Repurchase Return of Premium Amounts, (iii) the Repurchase Price Return of
Premium Distribution Account and (iv) the Loan REMIC Residual Interests shall
constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund (exclusive of the Trust
REMICs and the Loan REMICs) shall be conducted so as to qualify such portions as
a "grantor trust" under the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted
consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee
shall furnish or cause to be furnished (i) to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, 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 Q-1 and Class Q-2 Certificateholders, information as to
their allocable shares of the Excess Interest accrued thereon and (ii) to the
Class X Certificateholders, information as to the Repurchase Return of Premium
Amounts distributable thereto, and in any case such other information as may be
required under the Code and shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS such
information, together with Form 1041 or such other form as may be applicable, at
the time or times and in the manner required by the Code; provided, that the
Trustee shall report to the Class LR Certificateholders with respect to the Loan
REMIC Residual Interests in accordance with Section 4.02 and Section 4.04(b).

Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related
Class. The Certificates (other than the Class R and Class LR Certificates), will
be issued, maintained and transferred in the book-entry form. The Class R and
Class LR Certificates will each be issuable in one or more registered,
definitive physical certificates in minimum denominations of 5% Percentage
Interests and integral multiples of a 1% Percentage Interest in excess thereof
and together aggregating the entire 100% Percentage Interest in each such Class.
The Global Certificates shall be issued as one or more certificates
registered in the name of a nominee designated by the Depository, and Beneficial
Owners shall hold interests in the Global Certificates through the book-entry
facilities of the Depository in the minimum Denominations and aggregate
Denominations and Classes as set forth above.
The Global Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Agreement as Individual Certificates authenticated and
delivered hereunder.
(b) Except insofar as pertains to any Individual Certificate, the
Trust Fund, the Paying Agent and the Trustee may for all purposes (including the
making of payments due on the Global Certificates and the giving of notice to
Holders thereof) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of
the Beneficial Owners with respect to the Global Certificates for the purposes
of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder; provided, however,
that, for purposes of providing information or transmitting communications
hereunder to the extent that the Depositor has provided the Trustee with the
names of Beneficial Owners the Trustee shall provide such information to such
Beneficial Owners directly. The rights of Beneficial Owners with respect to
Global Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between such Certificateholders and the Depository and Depository Participants.
Except as set forth in Section 5.01(e) below, Beneficial Owners of Global
Certificates shall not be entitled to physical certificates for the Global
Certificates as to which they are the Beneficial Owners. Requests and directions
from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Global Certificates shall
not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial
Owners. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 5.02 and
Applicable Procedures, the holder of a beneficial interest in a Private Global
Certificate may request that the Depositor, or an agent thereof, cause the
Depository (or any Agent Member) to notify the Certificate Registrar and the
Certificate Custodian in writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such
beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates. Upon receipt
of such a request and payment by the related Beneficial Owner of any attendant
expenses, the Depositor shall cause the issuance and delivery of such Individual
Certificates. The Certificate Registrar may establish a reasonable record date
in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and give notice to the Depository of such record date.
Without the written consent of the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar, no
Global Certificate may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor
Depository that agrees to hold the Global Certificates for the account of the
Beneficial Owners.
(c) Any of the Certificates may be issued with appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or
otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, as may be required to comply with any law or with
rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities
market in which the Certificates are admitted to trading, or to conform to
general usage.
(d) The Global Certificates (i) shall be delivered by the
Certificate Registrar to the Depository or, pursuant to the Depository's
instructions on behalf of the Depository to, and deposited with, the Certificate
Custodian, and in either case shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and
(ii) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:
"Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized
representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York
corporation ("DTC"), to the Certificate Registrar for
registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any
certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co.
or in such other name as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede &
Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an
authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR
OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY
PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein."
The Global Certificates may be deposited with such other Depository
as the Certificate Registrar may from time to time designate, and shall bear
such legend as may be appropriate.
(e) If (i) the Depository advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able properly to discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and the Trustee is unable to locate a qualified
successor, (ii) the Depositor or the Trustee, with the consent of the
Underwriters, elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository
with respect to all or any portion of any Class of Certificates or (iii) after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficial Owners owning not less than a
majority in Certificate Balance or Notional Balance, as applicable, of the
Global Certificate for any Class then outstanding advise the Depository through
Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Depository is no longer in the best interest of the Beneficial Owner
or Owners of such Global Certificate, the Trustee shall notify the affected
Beneficial Owner or Owners through the Depository of the occurrence of such
event and the availability of Individual Certificates to such Beneficial Owners
requesting them. Upon surrender to the Trustee of Global Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration of transfer, the Trustee shall issue the Individual Certificates.
None of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer,
the Special Servicer or the Depositor shall be liable for any actions taken by
the Depository or its nominee, including, without limitation, any delay in
delivery of such instructions. Upon the issuance of Individual Certificates, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of Individual
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(f) If the Trustee, its agents or the Servicer or Special Servicer
has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a
court to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under the Certificates,
and the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer has been advised by
counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate
for the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer to obtain possession of
the Certificates, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer may in its
sole discretion determine that the Certificates represented by the Global
Certificates shall no longer be represented by such Global Certificates. In such
event, the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent will execute and authenticate and
the Certificate Registrar will deliver, in exchange for such Global
Certificates, Individual Certificates (and if the Trustee or the Certificate
Custodian has in its possession Individual Certificates previously executed, the
Authenticating Agent will authenticate and the Certificate Registrar will
deliver such Certificates) in a Denomination equal to the aggregate Denomination
of such Global Certificates.
(g) If the Trust Fund ceases to be subject to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act, the Trustee shall make available to each Holder of a Class
Q-1, Class Q-2, Class R or Class LR Certificate, upon request of such a Holder,
information substantially equivalent in scope to the information currently filed
by the Trustee with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, plus such
additional information required to be provided for securities qualifying for
resales under Rule 144A under the Act.
For so long as the Class Q-1, Class Q-2, Class R or Class LR
Certificates remain outstanding, neither the Depositor nor the Trustee nor the
Certificate Registrar shall take any action which would cause the Trust Fund to
fail to be subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(h) Each Certificate may be printed or in typewritten or similar
form, and each Certificate shall, upon original issue, be executed and
authenticated by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent and delivered to the
Depositor. All Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee or Authenticating Agent by an authorized officer or
signatory. Certificates bearing the signature of an individual who was at any
time the proper officer or signatory of the Trustee or Authenticating Agent
shall bind the Trustee or Authenticating Agent, notwithstanding that such
individual has ceased to hold such office or position prior to the delivery of
such Certificates or did not hold such office or position at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication in the form set forth in Exhibits A-1 through
A-21 executed by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such
certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication.
Section 5.02 Registration, Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept at the Corporate
Trust Office books (the "Certificate Register") for the registration, transfer
and exchange of Certificates (the Trustee, in such capacity, being the
"Certificate Registrar"). The names and addresses of all Certificateholders and
the names and addresses of the transferees of any Certificates shall be
registered in the Certificate Register; provided, however, in no event shall the
Certificate Registrar be required to maintain in the Certificate Register the
names of the individual Participants holding beneficial interests in the Trust
Fund through the Depository. The Person in whose name any Certificate is so
registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and Holder thereof for
all purposes of this Agreement and the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, any Paying Agent
and any agent of any of them shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to
the contrary. An Individual Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only
upon the surrender of such Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the
Corporate Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the
Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements of Sections
5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h). Upon request of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar shall provide the Trustee with the names, addresses and
Percentage Interests of the Holders.
Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any
obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any
restriction or transfer imposed under Article V of this Agreement or under
applicable law with respect to any transfer of any Certificate, or any interest
therein, other than to require delivery of the certification(s) and/or opinions
of counsel described in Article 5 applicable with respect to changes in
registration of record ownership of Certificates in the Certificate Register.
The Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall have no liability for transfers,
including transfers made through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or
between or among Depository participants or Beneficial Owners made in violation
of applicable restrictions.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Individual
Certificate (other than an initial transfer to an Affiliate of the Depositor),
subject to the requirements of Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and
(i), the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination as the
Individual Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered
by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Section 5.02(e). Each
Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled and
subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar. Each new Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be registered in the name of any Person as
the transferring Holder may request, subject to the provisions of Sections
5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i).
(c) In addition to the provisions of Sections 5.02(d), (e), (f),
(g) and (h) and the rules of the Depository; the exchange, transfer and
registration of transfer of Individual Certificates or beneficial interests in
the Private Global Certificates shall be subject to the following restrictions:
(i) Transfers between Holders of Individual Certificates. With
respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of an
Individual Certificate representing an interest in the Class
Q-2, Class R or Class LR Certificates to a transferee that
takes delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate:
(A) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of
an Individual Certificate if the requested transfer is
being made by a transferee who has provided the
Certificate Registrar with an Investment Representation
Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto
(an "Investment Representation Letter"), to the effect
that the transfer is being made to a Qualified
Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule 144A; and
(B) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of
any Individual Certificate (other than the Class R and
Class LR) if prior to the transfer such transferee
furnishes to the Certificate Registrar (1) an Investment
Representations Letter to the effect that the transfer
is being made to an Institutional Accredited Investor or
to an Affiliated Person in accordance with an applicable
exemption under the Act, and (2) an Opinion of Counsel
acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such
transfer is in compliance with the Act;
and, in each case, the Certificate Registrar shall register the
transfer of an Individual Certificate only if prior to the transfer
the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a written
undertaking by the transferor to reimburse the Trust for any costs
incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. In
addition, the Certificate Registrar may, as a condition of the
registration of any such transfer, require the transferor to furnish
such other certificates, legal opinions or other information (at the
transferor's expense) as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably
require to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant
to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Act and other applicable laws.
(ii) Transfers within the Private Global Certificates.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long
as a Private Global Certificate remains outstanding and is
held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers within the
Private Global Certificates shall only be made in accordance
with this Section 5.02 and the rules of the Depository and all
applicable rules and procedures of the Depository and Cedel or
Euroclear applicable to transfers by their respective
participants (the "Applicable Procedures"). In addition, no
transfer of a Private Global Certificate shall be made unless
such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act and any applicable state or foreign
securities laws.
(iii) Transfers from the Private Global Certificates to Individual
Certificates. Any and all transfers from a Private Global
Certificate to a transferee wishing to take delivery in the
form of an Individual Certificate will require the transferee
to take delivery subject to the restrictions on the transfer
of such Individual Certificate described in the Securities
Legend, and such transferee agrees that it will transfer such
Individual Certificate only as provided therein and herein. No
such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar
shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer is
made in accordance with this Section 5.02(c)(iii).
(A) Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Private Global
Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor will
require delivery in the form of an Individual
Certificate and the Certificate Registrar shall register
such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions
of Section 5.02(c)(i)(B).
(B) Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Private Global
Certificate to a Qualified Institutional Buyer or a
Regulation S Investor wishing to take delivery in the
form of an Individual Certificate will be registered by
the Certificate Registrar only upon compliance with the
provisions of Sections 5.02(c)(i)(A).
Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in
a Private Global Certificate for an Individual Certificate, as
provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the
schedule affixed to the related Private Global Certificate (or on a
continuation of such schedule affixed to such Private Global
Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation
evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in
the Denomination of such Private Global Certificate equal to the
Denomination of such Individual Certificate issued in exchange
therefor or upon transfer thereof. Unless determined otherwise by
the Certificate Registrar in accordance with applicable law, an
Individual Certificate issued upon transfer of or exchange for a
beneficial interest in the Private Global Certificate shall bear the
Securities Legend.
(iv) Transfers of Individual Certificates to the Private Global
Certificates. If a Holder of an Individual Certificate wishes
at any time to transfer such Certificate to a Person who
wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in the related Rule 144A Global Certificate, such
transfer may be effected only in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures and this Section 5.02(c)(iv). Upon
receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust
Office of (1) the Individual Certificate to be transferred
with an assignment and transfer pursuant to Section 5.02(a),
(2) written instructions given in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the
Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to
another specified Agent Member's account a beneficial interest
in such Rule 144A Global Certificate in an amount equal to the
Denomination of the Individual Certificate to be so
transferred, (3) a written order given in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the
account of the Agent Member, to be credited with such
beneficial interest, and (4) an Investment Representation
Letter from the transferee to the effect that such transferee
is a Qualified Institutional Buyer if delivery is to be taken
in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global
Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel such
Individual Certificate, execute and deliver a new Individual
Certificate for the Denomination of the Individual Certificate
not so transferred, registered in the name of the Holder or
the Holder's transferee (as instructed by the Holder), and the
Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository as the
Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to increase the
Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate, as the case
may be, by the Denomination of the Individual Certificate to
be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to
the account of the Person specified in such instructions a
corresponding Denomination of the Rule 144A Global
Certificate.
It is the intent of the foregoing that under no circumstances
may an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a
Qualified Institutional Buyer take delivery in the form of a
beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate.
(v) All Transfers. An exchange of a beneficial interest in a
Private Global Certificate for an Individual Certificate or
Certificates, an exchange of an Individual Certificate or
Certificates for a beneficial interest in a Private Global
Certificate and an exchange of an Individual Certificate or
Certificates for another Individual Certificate or
Certificates (in each case, whether or not such exchange is
made in anticipation of subsequent transfer, and, in the case
of the Private Global Certificates, so long as the Private
Global Certificates remain outstanding and are held by or on
behalf of the Depository), may be made only in accordance with
this Section 5.02 and in accordance with the rules of the
Depository and Applicable Procedures.
(d) If Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or
replacement of Certificates not bearing the Securities Legend, the Certificates
so issued shall not bear the Securities Legend. If Certificates are issued upon
the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing the Securities
Legend, or if a request is made to remove the Securities Legend on a
Certificate, the Certificates so issued shall bear the Securities Legend, or the
Securities Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is
delivered to the Certificate Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may
include an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the
removal of such legend) familiar with United States securities laws, as may be
reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar, that neither the Securities
Legend nor the restrictions on transfers set forth therein are required to
ensure that transfers of any Certificate comply with the provisions of Rule 144A
or Rule 144 under the Act or that such Certificate is not a "restricted
security" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act. Upon provision of such
satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and deliver a
Certificate that does not bear the Securities Legend.
(e) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth
in this Section 5.02, the Holder of any Individual Certificate may transfer or
exchange the same in whole or in part (with a denomination equal to any
authorized denomination) by surrendering such Certificate at the Corporate Trust
Office or at the office of any transfer agent appointed as provided under this
Agreement, together with an instrument of assignment or transfer (executed by
the Holder or its duly authorized attorney), in the case of transfer, and a
written request for exchange, in the case of exchange. Following a proper
request for transfer or exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall, within five
Business Days of such request if made at such Corporate Trust Office or within
ten Business Days if made at the office of a transfer agent (other than the
Certificate Registrar), execute and deliver at the Corporate Trust Office or at
the office of such transfer agent, as the case may be, to the transferee (in the
case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first Class
mail (at the risk of the transferee in the case of transfer or Holder in the
case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or Holder, as applicable,
may request, an Individual Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require,
for a like aggregate Denomination and in such Denomination or Denominations as
may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual
Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust Office or at
the office of a transfer agent by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly
authorized attorney-in-fact. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept any
request for an exchange or registration of transfer of any Certificate during
the period of fifteen days preceding any Distribution Date.
(f) An Individual Certificate (other than an Individual
Certificate issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Public Global
Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01) or a beneficial interest in a Private
Global Certificate may only be transferred to Eligible Investors, as described
herein. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar
becomes aware that such an Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a
Private Global Certificate is being held by or for the benefit of a Person who
is not an Eligible Investor, or that such holding is unlawful under the laws of
a relevant jurisdiction, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right to
void such transfer, if permitted under applicable law, or to require the
investor to sell such Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a Private
Global Certificate to an Eligible Investor within fourteen days after notice of
such determination and each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a Certificate
authorizes the Certificate Registrar to take such action.
(g) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.02 regarding
transfer and exchange, transfers of the Global Certificates shall be limited to
transfers of such Global Certificates in whole, but not in part, to nominees of
the Depository or to a successor of the Depository or such successor's nominee.
(h) No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate
Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or
exchange referred to in this Section 5.02 other than for transfers to
Institutional Accredited Investors, as provided herein. In connection with any
transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse
the Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
(i) Subject to Section 5.02(e), transfers of the Class R and Class
LR Certificates may be made only in accordance with this Section 5.02(i). The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Class R or Class LR
Certificate only if (x) the transferor has advised the Certificate Registrar in
writing that such Certificate is being transferred to a Qualified Institutional
Buyer, an Affiliated Person and (y) prior to such transfer the transferee
furnishes to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Representation Letter. In
addition, the Certificate Registrar may as a condition of the registration of
any such transfer require the transferor to furnish such other certifications,
legal opinions or other information (at the transferor's expense) as it may
reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant
to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Act and other applicable laws.
(j) None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify the Class R or Class
LR Certificates under the Act or any other securities law or to take any action
not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder
desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, against
any loss, liability or expense that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(k) No transfer of any 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 Q-1,
Class Q-2, Class R or Class LR Certificate (each, a "Restricted Certificate")
shall be made to (i) an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement
subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, or Section 4975 of
the Code, or a governmental plan subject to any federal, state or local law
("Similar Law"), which is to a material extent, similar to the foregoing
provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, a "Plan") or (ii) a collective
investment fund in which a Plan is invested, an insurance company that is using
the assets of any insurance company separate account or general account in which
the assets of any such Plan are invested (or which are deemed pursuant to ERISA
or any Similar Law to include assets of Plans) to acquire any such Restricted
Certificate or any other Person acting on behalf of any Plan or using the assets
of any Plan to acquire any such Restricted Certificate, other than (with respect
to transfer of Restricted Certificates other than the Class R and Class LR
Certificates) an insurance company using the assets of its general account under
circumstances whereby such transfer to such insurance company and subsequent
holding of such Certificate and transactions in connection with the servicing,
management and operation of the Trust Fund would not constitute or result in
non-exempt "prohibited transactions" within the meaning of Section 406 or 407 of
ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or a materially similar characterization under
any Similar Law by reason of the application of Sections I and III of Prohibited
Transaction Exemption 95-60. Each prospective transferee of a Restricted
Certificate shall either (1) deliver to the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar
and the Trustee, a transfer or representation letter, substantially in the form
of Exhibit D-2 hereto, stating that the prospective transferee is not a Person
referred to in (i) or (ii) above or (2) in the event the transferee is such an
entity specified in (i) or (ii) above, except in the case of a Class R or Class
LR Certificate, which may not be transferred unless the transferee represents it
is not such an entity, such entity shall provide an Opinion of Counsel in form
and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar that the purchase or
holding of the Restricted Certificates by or on behalf of a Plan will not result
in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to
the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA and the Code or Similar Law, will not constitute or result
in a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Certificate
Registrar to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in this
Agreement. None of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall
register a Class R or Class LR Certificate in any Person's name unless such
Person has provided the letter referred to in clause (1) of the preceding
sentence. The purchaser or transferee of a beneficial interest in a Global
Certificate that is a Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that
it is not a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of any Plan or using the assets of
any Plan to acquire such interest other than (with respect to transfers of
beneficial interests in Global Certificates which are Restricted Certificates
other than the Class R and Class LR Certificates) an insurance company using the
assets of its general account under circumstances whereby such transfer to such
insurance company and subsequent holding of such Certificate and transactions in
connection with the servicing, management and operation of the Trust Fund would
not constitute or result in non-exempt "prohibited transactions" within the
meaning of Section 406 or 407 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or a
materially similar characterization under any Similar Law by reason of the
application of Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Exemption 95-60. Any
attempted or purported transfer of a Restricted Certificate that would violate
these transfer restrictions or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio.
(l) [Reserved]
(m) Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Interest shall be
deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Interest to have agreed
to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring
any Residual Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Interest shall
be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such
Residual Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or
other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify
the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in
its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such
Residual Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition
described in the first sentence of this Section 5.02(l) by a
Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is
acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee shall be void and of no effect, and the immediately
preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be
restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the
Residual Interest as fully as possible.
(ii) No Residual Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer
shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the
express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the
Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and
such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such
consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed
Transfer of any Residual Interest, the Certificate Registrar
shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require delivery to
it in form and substance satisfactory to it, and the proposed
transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to
the proposed transferor an affidavit in substantially the form
attached as Exhibit C-1 (a "Transferee Affidavit") of the
proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a
Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (i) the proposed
transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come
due and intends to do so in the future, (ii) the proposed
transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual
Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows
generated by the residual interest, (iii) the proposed
transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the
Residual Interest as they become due, (iv) the proposed
transferee will not transfer the Residual Interest to any
Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to
which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such
Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent
(including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (v) the proposed
transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the
provisions of this Section 5.02(l) and (y) other than in
connection with the initial issuance of the Residual
Interests, require a statement from the proposed transferor
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 (the
"Transferor Letter"), that the proposed transferor has no
actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a
Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to
know that the proposed transferee's statements in the
preceding clauses (x)(B)(i) or (iii) are false.
(iii) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a
proposed transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible
Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that
the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no
Transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and
such proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the
Certificate Register; provided, however, that the Certificate
Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent
investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a
Permitted Transferee.
Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a
Transfer of a Residual Interest to any Person that is a Disqualified
Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee, or middleman) in
contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than 60
days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual
Interest, or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee agree to
furnish to the IRS and the transferor of such Residual Interest or such agent
such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as
may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of
the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Residual Interest
(or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the
Certificate Registrar and the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee
may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the
transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, that such
Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered
to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it
to save it, the Trustee and the Servicer harmless, then, in the absence of
actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent shall execute and authenticate and the Certificate
Registrar shall deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and
of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section 5.03, 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 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership of the corresponding interest in the Trust Fund, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent for the purpose of making
distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01. The Trustee shall
cause such Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee or the Servicer, to execute
and deliver to the Servicer and the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying
Agent shall agree with the Servicer and the Trustee that such Paying Agent will
hold all sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums have been
paid to the Certificateholders or disposed of as otherwise provided herein. The
initial Paying Agent shall be the Trustee. Except for LaSalle Bank National
Association, as the initial Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall at all times be
an entity having a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least "AA" by Fitch,
"AA" by S&P and "Aa2" by Xxxxx'x, or shall be otherwise acceptable to each
Rating Agency.
Section 5.05 Access to Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
(a) If any Certificateholder, the Special Servicer or the Servicer
(for purposes of this Section 5.05, an "Applicant") applies in writing to the
Certificate Registrar, and such application states that the Applicant desires to
communicate with other Certificateholders, the Certificate Registrar shall
furnish or cause to be furnished to such Applicant a list of the names and
addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date, at the
expense of the Applicant, in the case of any Certificateholder and the expense
of the Trust Fund in the case of the Servicer or the Special Servicer.
(b) Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding its
Certificate, agrees with the Trustee that the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar shall not be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure
of any information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders
hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 5.06 Actions of Certificateholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken
by Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in
person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, when required, to the Depositor or
the Servicer. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement
and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer, if made
in the manner provided in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Certificateholder of
any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other act by a Certificateholder shall bind every Holder of
every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, or omitted to
be done, by the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.
(d The Trustee or Certificate Registrar may require such
additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 5.06 as it shall deem
necessary.
ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR, THE SERVICER
AND THE SPECIAL SERVICER
Section 6.01 Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer
and the Special Servicer.
The Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
imposed by this Agreement.
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer
or the Special Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, each of the Servicer and the
Special Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and good
standing (i) in the case of the Servicer, as a limited liability company under
the laws of the State of Delaware, and (ii) in the case of the Special Servicer,
a corporation under the laws of the State of Florida, and, in each case, will
not jeopardize its ability to do business in each jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Properties are located or to protect the validity and enforceability
of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its respective duties under this Agreement.
Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer may be merged or
consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which it shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to its
business of the Servicer or Special Servicer (which may be limited to its
commercial mortgage servicing business), shall be the successor of the Servicer
or the Special Servicer, respectively, hereunder, and shall be deemed to have
assumed all of the liabilities and obligations of the Servicer or the Special
Servicer, respectively, hereunder, if each of the Rating Agencies has confirmed
in writing that such merger or consolidation or transfer of assets and
succession, in and of itself, will not cause a downgrade, qualification or
withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned by such Rating Agency to any
Class of Certificates.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Special Servicer and Others.
(a) None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or
any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund
or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the
taking of any action, in good faith or for errors in judgment pursuant to this
Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any such Person against any
breach of its warranties or representations made herein, or against any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misconduct,
bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder. The Depositor, the
Servicer, the Special Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer may rely in good faith on
any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted
by any appropriate Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall
be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability
or expense (including legal fees and expenses) (i) incurred in connection with
any legal action or claim relating to this Agreement or the Certificates
(including, without limitation, the distribution of reports and information as
contemplated by this Agreement) outside of any costs and expenses that it is
required to bear under this Agreement without reimbursement or that constitutes
a Property Advance, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason
of willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence (or in the case of the
Servicer or the Special Servicer, by reason of any specific liability imposed
for a breach of the Servicing Standard) in the performance of duties hereunder
or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder, in each
case by the Person being indemnified (provided that it shall be deemed
non-negligent for the Servicer to service based on Mortgage Loan information
provided to it in electronic format by, or caused to be provided by, the
Depositor for a period of 30 days after delivery to the Servicer of the Mortgage
Files), or (ii) imposed by any taxing authority if such loss, liability or
expense is not specifically reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless
such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and in its
opinion does not expose it to any ultimate expense or liability; provided,
however, that the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer may in its
discretion undertake any action related to its obligations hereunder which it
may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Section 3.06 of this Agreement.
Section 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer and
the Special Servicer; Termination of the Servicer
and the Special Servicer.
(a) The Servicer may assign its rights and delegate its duties and
obligations under this Agreement upon sixty days notice, provided that it has
obtained the consent of the Depositor and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. (which consent may
not be unreasonably withheld and which consent will be deemed given if such
parties do not disapprove the resignation within 60 days after notice); and
provided, further, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such
assignment and delegation (A) shall be an established mortgage finance
institution, bank or mortgage servicing institution, organized and doing
business under the laws of any state of the United States or the District of
Columbia, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of a servicer of
mortgage loans or a Person resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession
that is permitted under Section 6.02, (B) shall be acceptable to each Rating
Agency as confirmed by a letter from each Rating Agency delivered to the Trustee
that such assignment or delegation will not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or
qualification of the then-current ratings of the Certificates, and (C) shall
execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement which contains an assumption by
such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant
and condition to be performed or observed by the Servicer under this Agreement
from and after the date of such agreement; (ii) the Servicer shall not be
released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the
effective date of such assignment and delegation under this Section 6.04; and
(iii) the rate at which the Servicer Compensation (or any component thereof), is
calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect. Upon acceptance of such
assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall be the successor
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder. In the event that
neither the Depositor nor any successor thereto, if any, is in existence, any
consent of the Depositor under this Section 6.04(a) shall not be required.
(b) Except as provided in this Section 6.04, the Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall not resign from their respective obligations and duties
hereby imposed on them. In addition, the Servicer may resign upon determination
that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any
such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the resigning Servicer's expense) to such
effect delivered to the Trustee. The Special Servicer has the right to resign at
any time provided that (i) a willing successor thereto has been found, (ii) each
of the Rating Agencies confirms in writing that the successor's appointment will
not result in a withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of the current ratings
then assigned to any Class of Certificates, (iii) the resigning party pays all
costs and expenses in connection with such transfer and (iv) the successor
accepts appointment prior to the effectiveness of such resignation.
No resignation or removal of the Servicer or the Special Servicer as
contemplated by the preceding paragraphs shall become effective until the
Trustee or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer shall have assumed the
Servicer's or the Special Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and
obligations hereunder. If no successor Servicer or Special Servicer can be
obtained to perform such obligations for the same compensation to which the
terminated Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled, additional
amounts payable to such successor Servicer or Special Servicer shall be treated
as Realized Losses.
Section 6.05 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in
Respect of the Servicer and the Special Servicer.
The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor,
the Trustee, the Underwriters and the Rating Agencies, upon reasonable notice,
during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect
of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to its officers responsible
for such obligations. Upon request, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
furnish to the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Trustee its most recent
public financial statements, which with respect to the Servicer may be delivered
on a consolidated basis, and such other information in its possession regarding
its business, affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise as the
party requesting such information, in its reasonable judgment, determines to be
relevant to the performance of the obligations hereunder of the Servicer and the
Special Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the
obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder which are in
default and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to
perform, any defaulted obligation of such Person hereunder or exercise its
rights hereunder, provided that the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not
be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by
the Depositor or its designee. In the event the Depositor or its designee
undertakes any such action it will be reimbursed by the Trust Fund from the
Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 6.03(a) hereof to the
extent not recoverable from the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.
No party to this Agreement shall have any responsibility or liability for any
action or failure to act by any other party to this Agreement or shall be
obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of any other party to this
Agreement. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any
obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary information pursuant to this
Section.
Section 6.06 Servicer or Special Servicer as Owner of a
Certificate.
The Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, or the Special
Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer may become the Holder (or with
respect to a Global Certificate, Beneficial Owner) of any Certificate with the
same rights it would have if it were not the Servicer or the Special Servicer or
an Affiliate thereof. If, at any time during which the Servicer or the Special
Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder
or Beneficial Owner of any Certificate, the Servicer or the Special Servicer
proposes to take action (including for this purpose, omitting to take action)
that (i) is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the
Servicer's or the Special Servicer's good faith judgment, violate the Servicing
Standard, and (ii) if taken, might nonetheless, in the Servicer's or the Special
Servicer's good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the
Servicing Standard, the Servicer or the Special Servicer may seek the approval
of the Certificateholders to such action by delivering to the Trustee a written
notice that (i) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.06, (ii)
identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially
owned by the Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer or
the Special Servicer, and (iii) describes in reasonable detail the action that
the Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take. The Trustee, upon receipt
of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the
Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as
applicable) together with such instructions for response as the Trustee shall
reasonably determine. If at any time Certificateholders holding greater than 50%
of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the
Certificates beneficially owned by the Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special
Servicer or its Affiliates, as applicable) shall have consented in writing to
the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be
deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the
reasonable expenses of the Trustee incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is
not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Servicer or the Special
Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to
routine servicing matters arising hereunder, except in the case of unusual
circumstances.

Mortgaged Property by reason of a failure to pay real estate
taxes and assessments and if the Trustee makes a required
Property Advance pursuant to Section 3.08(a) due to the
Servicer's failure to make such an Advance when required
hereunder, such Event of Default shall occur immediately upon
such Advance).
If a Servicer Event of Default or Termination Event shall occur, then, and in
each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Event of Default or
Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the
written direction of the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights
of all Certificates shall, terminate the Servicer.
In the event that the Servicer is also the Special Servicer and the

days (or 60 days, so long as the Special Servicer is in good
faith diligently pursuing a cure) after the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Special Servicer by the
Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Special
Servicer, the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests of at
least 25% of any Class affected thereby; or
(iii) confirmation in writing (a copy of which shall be provided to

itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the
then-current ratings assigned to any Class of Certificates; or
(iv) 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

its affairs, shall have been entered against the Special
Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(v) the Special Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or

(vii) the Special Servicer is no longer an "approved" special
servicer by S&P as a special servicer for mortgage pools
similar to the Trust Fund or if the Special Servicer is no
longer rated by Fitch "CSS3" or its equivalent or higher and,
with respect to S&P, the designation as an approved special
servicer, is not reinstated within 30 days of the removal
thereof and with respect to Fitch, the Special Servicer is not
upgraded to "CSS3" or higher within 30 days of such downgrade;
or
(viii)the Special Servicer acquires partnership debt from any
Borrower and the Special Servicer takes a financial interest
in such Borrower.
If a Special Servicer Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every
such case, so long as such Special Servicer Event of Default shall not have been
remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of at
least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates shall, terminate
the Special Servicer.
(c) In the event that the Servicer or the Special Servicer is
terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Trustee (the "Terminating Party")
shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be (the "Terminated Party"), terminate all of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof,
other than any rights the Terminated Party may have hereunder as a
Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date
of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing
to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate on such amounts
until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this
Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the
right to the benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination). On
the receipt by the Terminated Party, of such written notice, all of its
authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a
Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder)
or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the
Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation,
the Terminating Party is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver,
on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, 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
Servicer and the Special Servicer each agree in the event it is terminated
pursuant to this Section 7.01 to promptly (and in any event no later than 10
Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide the Terminating Party with all
documents and records requested by the Terminating Party to enable the
Terminating Party to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the
Terminating Party and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in
effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer or Special
Servicer or the Terminating Party, as applicable, for administration by it of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the
Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Collection Account, and any REO Account,
Lock-Box Account or Cash Collateral Account thereafter be received with respect
to the Mortgage Loans, and shall promptly provide the Terminating Party or such
successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer (which may include the
Trustee), as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it,
such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Terminating Party
or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer shall reasonably request
(including electromagnetic form), to enable it to assume the Servicer's or
Special Servicer's function hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses of the
Terminating Party incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to
the successor Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall
be paid by the predecessor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the
predecessor Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed
the Terminating Party or the successor Servicer or Special Servicer for such
expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such
expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund; provided that the Terminated
Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. If and
to the extent that the Terminated Party has not reimbursed such costs and
expenses, the Terminating Party shall have an affirmative obligation to take all
reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust Fund.
In the event of (a) confirmation in writing (a copy of which shall
be provided to the Servicer by the Trustee) by Fitch or Xxxxx'x that failure to
remove the Servicer will, in and of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or
withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to any Class of Certificates; or
(b) the Servicer is no longer an "approved" master servicer by S&P as a servicer
for mortgage pools similar to the Trust Fund or if the Servicer is no longer
rated by Fitch "CMS3" or it equivalent or higher and, with respect to S&P, the
designation as an approved master servicer is not reinstated within 30 days of
the removal thereof, and, with respect to Fitch, the Servicer is not upgraded to
"CMS3" or higher within 30 days of such downgrade (each, a "Termination Event")
and the Trustee succeeds to the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(c), if the
Servicer delivers to the Trustee proposed bid materials within five Business
Days, the Trustee shall, within the next three Business Days, solicit good faith
bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement from at
least three Persons qualified hereunder in accordance with this Agreement to act
as successor Servicer (or if three qualified Persons cannot be located, from as
many Persons as qualified). The bid proposal shall require any Successful
Bidder, as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor
Servicer, and shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof within 45 days after
the termination of Servicer. The Trustee shall solicit bids (i) on the basis of
such successor Servicer retaining all sub-servicers to continue the primary
servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of the respective
sub-servicing agreements and entering into a sub-servicing agreement with the
terminated Servicer to service each of the Mortgage Loans not subject to a
sub-servicing agreement at a servicing fee rate of 0.03% per annum per Mortgage
Loan serviced (each a "Servicing Retained Bid") and (ii) on the basis of
terminating each sub-servicing agreement with the terminated Servicer (each a
"Servicing Released Bid"). The Trustee shall select the qualified bidder of a
Servicing Retained Bid, or if none a Servicing Released Bid, with the highest
cash bid (the "Successful Bidder") to act as successor Servicer hereunder;
provided that the Trustee shall not select the bidder of a Servicing Retained
Bid unless it receives written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the
retention of the terminated Servicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement would
not result in the withdrawal qualification or downgrade of the then-current
ratings of any Class of Certificates. Any sub-servicing agreement entered into
by the Servicer may be terminated by the Trustee or the successor Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.01(c). The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to
enter into this Agreement as successor Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, no
later than 45 days after the termination of the Servicer.
Upon the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights hereunder
to and by the Successful Bidder, including the transfer of the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the
terminated Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful
Bidder (net of expenses in connection with obtaining such bid and out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with transferring the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans).
The terminated Servicer shall reimburse the Trustee for all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid
process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under this Section
7.01(c) and may select a successor Servicer of its choice and pursuant to the
terms hereof.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Servicer or the Special Servicer receives
a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, subject to the appointment of
a successor Servicer pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 7.01(c), the
Terminating Party shall be its successor in all respects in its capacity as
Servicer or Special Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth
or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject to all
the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating
thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Servicer or Special Servicer by the
terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) the Terminating Party
shall have no responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect
to any act or omission of the Servicer or Special Servicer and (ii) any failure
to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by
the Terminated Party's failure to provide, or delay in providing, records,
tapes, disks, information or monies shall not be considered a default by such
successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Servicer or successor Special
Servicer, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided the Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement prior to the Servicer's or
the Special Servicer's termination. The appointment of a successor Servicer or
successor Special Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor
Servicer or Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as
Servicer or Special Servicer. The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any
of the representations and warranties of the Servicer or Special Servicer herein
or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the
predecessor Servicer or predecessor Special Servicer or for any losses incurred
in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07
hereunder nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan
hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Servicer
or successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to the applicable portion of the
Servicing Compensation or to the Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable,
and all funds (other than reimbursement to the terminated Servicer for amounts
owed to it) relating to the Mortgage Loans that accrue after the date of the
Terminating Party's succession to which the Servicer or Special Servicer would
have been entitled if the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, had
continued to act hereunder. In the event any Advances made by the Servicer and
the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall at any time be outstanding, or any amounts
of interest thereon shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay
Advances and interest hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances made
by the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent (and the accrued and unpaid interest
thereon), until such Advances and interest shall have been repaid in full and
then toward Advances made by the terminated Servicer. Notwithstanding the above,
the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable
to so act, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the
aggregate Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, or if the
long-term unsecured debt rating of the Trustee or Fiscal Agent is not at least
"AA" by Fitch, "AA" by S&P and "Aa2" by Xxxxx'x or if the Rating Agencies do not
provide written confirmation that the succession of the Trustee as Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, will not cause a downgrade, qualification or
withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates, promptly
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which will
not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current
rating or ratings assigned to any Class of Certificates as evidenced in writing
by each Rating Agency, as the successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer or Special Servicer
hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer
hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the
Servicer's or Special Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities
hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer (or the Special
Servicer if the Special Servicer is also the Servicer) hereunder, unless the
Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such
capacity as herein above provided. Pending the appointment of a successor to the
Special Servicer, unless the Servicer is also the Special Servicer, the Servicer
shall act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and assumption
described herein, 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; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the Terminated Party hereunder, provided, further, that if no
successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of
such Terminated Party hereunder for such compensation, then, subject to approval
by the Directing Holders, additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and
such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party shall be treated
as Realized Losses. Upon determining that a successor to the Terminated Party
cannot be obtained for the compensation that the Terminated Party was receiving,
the Trustee shall give notice of that fact to the Directing Holders. Once the
Trustee has determined the amount of compensation acceptable to a proposed
successor to the Terminated Party, the Trustee shall give notice to the
Directing Holders of the identity of such successor and the proposed
compensation. The Directing Holders will then have 10 Business Days during which
to propose their own successor and compensation (which must be acceptable to the
Rating Agencies, as evidenced in writing that the appointment of such successor,
in and of itself would not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal by
any Rating Agency of the then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates) or
to approve the successor and compensation proposed by the Trustee. The
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer or Special Servicer and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or
appointment of a successor to the Servicer or the Special 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 or
Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and to
each Rating Agency notice of such Event of Default or Termination Event, unless
such Event of Default or Termination Event shall have been cured or waived.
Section 7.04 Other Remedies of Trustee.
During the continuance of any Servicer Event of Default, Termination
Event or a Special Servicer Event of Default, so long as such Servicer Event of
Default, Termination Event or Special Servicer Event of Default, if applicable,
shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified
in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express
trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by
statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and
enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders (including the
institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other
proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith).
In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the
Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be
exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and
in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right
or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a
waiver of any Servicer Event of Default, Termination Event or Special Servicer
Event of Default, if applicable.
Section 7.05 Waiver of Past Events of Default; Termination.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the
aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates may, on behalf of all
Certificateholders, waive any default or Termination Event by the Servicer or
Special Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its
consequences, except a default in making any required deposits (including P&I
Advances) to or, in the case of the Servicer, payments from the Collection
Account or the Distribution Account or in remitting payments as received, in
each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past
default or Termination Event, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default or Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or
Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default or Termination
Events which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no permissive right
of the Trustee shall be construed as a duty. During the continuance of an Event
of Default or Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has actual knowledge, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.02
and 7.05 shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of any resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however,
that, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any
such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument provided to it hereunder. If any such instrument is found not
to conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement in a material
manner, the Trustee shall take action as it deems appropriate to have the
instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's
reasonable satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders.
(c) Neither the Trustee nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents or "control" persons within the meaning of the Act shall have
any liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, provided,
that, subject to Section 8.02, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed
to relieve the Trustee, or any such person, from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or its
own bad faith; and provided, further, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or Termination
Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events
of Default or Termination Events which may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined
solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of
bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
resolutions, certificates, statements, reports, opinions,
documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that conform on their face to the requirements of this
Agreement without responsibility for investigating the
contents thereof;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or
Responsible Officers, unless it shall be proved that the
Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of
Certificates entitled to greater than 50% of the Percentage
Interests (or such other percentage as is specified herein) of
each affected Class (or the Directing Holders if so specified
herein), or of the aggregate Voting Rights of the
Certificates, relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Trustee, under this Agreement;
(iv) Neither the Trustee nor any of its respective directors,
officers, employees, agents or control persons shall be
responsible for any act or omission of any Custodian, Paying
Agent or Certificate Registrar that is not the Trustee or any
Affiliate thereof and that is selected other than by the
Trustee, performed or omitted in compliance with any custodial
or other agreement, or any act or omission of the Servicer,
Special Servicer, the Depositor or any other Person,
including, without limitation, in connection with actions
taken pursuant to this Agreement;
(v) The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental
to its respective duties as Trustee in accordance with this
Agreement (and, if it does, all legal expenses and costs of
such action shall be expenses and costs of the Trust Fund),
and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor
from the Collection Account, unless such legal action arises
out of the negligence or bad faith of the Trustee or any
breach of an obligation, representation, warranty or covenant
of the Trustee contained herein; and
(vi) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any act,
failure to act or breach of any Person upon the occurrence of
which the Trustee may be required to act, unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such
failure. The Trustee shall be deemed to have actual knowledge
of the Servicer's or the Special Servicer's failure to provide
scheduled reports, certificates and statements when and as
required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement.
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require
either the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, or the Fiscal Agent, to expend
or risk its own funds, or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if in the opinion of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, respectively, the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible
for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or the
Special Servicer under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the
Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers
and privileges of, the Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be
required to post any surety or bond of any kind in connection with its
performance of its obligations under this Agreement and neither the Trustee nor
the Fiscal Agent shall be liable for any loss on any investment of funds
pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may request and/or rely upon and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or
any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other
paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to
ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any such party or
parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with
such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) (A) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered
to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein
or thereby; (B) the right of the Trustee to perform any
discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable
for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of any such act; and (C) provided, however, that
subject to the foregoing clause (A), nothing contained herein
shall relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default or Termination Event (which
has not been cured or waived) of which a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee has actual knowledge, to exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of such person's own affairs;
(iv) Neither the Trustee nor any of its directors, officers,
employees, Affiliates, agents or "control" persons within the
meaning of the Act shall be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably
believed by the Trustee to be authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this
Agreement;
(v) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document,
unless requested in writing to do so by any of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% (of such other
percentage as is specified herein) of the Percentage Interests
of any affected Class; provided, however, that if the payment
within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses
or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of
such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to
it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a
condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of
every such investigation shall be paid by the Servicer or the
Special Servicer if an Event of Default or Termination Event
shall have occurred and be continuing relating to the Servicer
or the Special Servicer, respectively, and otherwise by the
Certificateholders requesting the investigation; and
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of the
obligations hereunder.
(b) Following the Start-up Day, the Trustee shall not, except as
expressly required by any provision of this Agreement, accept any contribution
of assets to the Trust Fund or create or permit the creation of any "interests"
(within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860D-1(b)(i)) in the Loan
REMICs, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than the Loan REMIC
Interests, the Lower Tier Regular Interests or the Certificates) unless the
Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (the costs of obtaining such
opinion to be borne by the Person requesting such contribution) to the effect
that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund or the creation of such
interests will not cause the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC or any Loan
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding or subject the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC or any Loan
REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of
federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(c) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the
Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the
possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or
other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all
the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
The Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative
investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of
any Mortgage Loan by the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement or the eligibility
of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of this Agreement.
Section 8.03 Trustee and Fiscal Agent Not Liable for
Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall not be
taken as the statements of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer or the
Special Servicer and the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer and the Special
Servicer assume no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Servicer and the Special Servicer make no representations or
warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of the
Certificates or any prospectus used to offer the Certificates for sale or the
validity, enforceability or sufficiency of any Mortgage Loan, or related
document. Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall at any time have any
responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and
enforceability of any Mortgage, any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and
priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority,
or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Fund or its ability to
generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal
Agent shall be liable or responsible for: the existence, condition and ownership
of any Mortgaged Property; the existence of any hazard or other insurance
thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer or
the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02) or the enforceability thereof;
the existence of any Mortgage Loan or the contents of the related Mortgage File
on any computer or other record thereof (other than if the Trustee shall assume
the duties of the Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02);
the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trust Fund or of any
intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage File; the performance
or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the
duties of the Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the
compliance by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer with any
warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document
or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee's
receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any
breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer
or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall
remain responsible for any Trust Fund property that it may hold in its
individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Depositor, the Servicer
or the Special Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of
the Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02) or any sub-servicer
or any Borrower; any action of the Servicer or Special Servicer (other than if
the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant
to Section 7.02) or any sub-servicer taken in the name of the Trustee, except to
the extent such action is taken at the express written direction of the Trustee;
the failure of the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any sub-servicer to act
or perform any duties required of it on behalf of the Trust Fund or the Trustee
hereunder; or any action by or omission of the Trustee taken at the instruction
of the Servicer or the Special Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume
the duties of the Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02)
unless the taking of such action is not permitted by the express terms of this
Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee
of its obligation to perform its duties as specifically set forth in this
Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be accountable for the
use or application by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer of any
of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or
application of any funds paid to the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special
Servicer in respect of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or
withdrawn from the Collection Account, Distribution Account, Upper-Tier
Distribution Account, Lock-Box Account, Cash Collateral Account, Reserve
Accounts, Interest Reserve Account, Excess Interest Distribution Account and
Repurchase Price Return of Premium Distribution Account or any other account
maintained by or on behalf of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, other than
any funds held by the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable. Neither the
Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall have any responsibility for filing any
financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to
otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien
granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor
Servicer) or to record this Agreement. In making any calculation hereunder which
includes as a component thereof the payment or distribution of interest for a
stated period at a stated rate "to the extent permitted by applicable law," the
Trustee shall assume that such payment is so permitted unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, or receives an Opinion of Counsel
(at the expense of the Person asserting the impressibility) to the effect, that
such payment is not permitted by applicable law.
Section 8.04 Trustee and Fiscal Agent May Own Certificates.
The Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of the Trustee and
Fiscal Agent in its individual capacity or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates, and may deal with the Depositor and the
Servicer in banking transactions, with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee, Fiscal Agent or such agent.
Section 8.05 Payment of Trustee's Fees and Expenses;
Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee or any successor Trustee shall be entitled, on
each Distribution Date, to the Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust)
for all services rendered by the Trustee in the execution of the trusts hereby
created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
hereunder of the Trustee, which Trustee Fee shall be paid to the Trustee prior
to the distribution on such Distribution Date of amounts to the
Certificateholders. In the event that the Trustee assumes the servicing
responsibilities of the Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder pursuant to
or otherwise arising from the resignation or removal of the Servicer or the
Special Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to the compensation to which the
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would have been entitled.
(b) The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall each be paid or
reimbursed by the Trust Fund upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
pursuant to and in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) to the extent such
payments are "unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC" within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(iii) except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct; provided, however, that, subject to the last paragraph of Section
8.01, neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall refuse to perform any of
its duties hereunder solely as a result of the failure to be paid the Trustee
Fee and the Trustee's expenses or any sums due to the Fiscal Agent.
The Servicer and the Special Servicer covenant and agree to pay or
reimburse the Trustee for the reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in connection with any transfer of the servicing
responsibilities of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively,
hereunder, pursuant to or otherwise arising from the resignation or removal of
the Servicer, in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (and
including the reasonable and necessary fees and expenses and disbursements of
its counsel and all other persons not regularly in its employ), except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the negligence or bad faith
of the Trustee or expenses incurred by the Trustee in its capacity as successor
Servicer.
(c) Each of the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the
Custodian, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee
(each, a "Cross-Indemnifying Party") shall indemnify the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent and their respective Affiliates and
each of the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent and their respective Affiliates (each, a "Cross-Indemnified Party"), and
hold each of them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the
Cross-Indemnified Party may sustain in connection with this Agreement
(including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
incurred by the Cross-Indemnified Party in any action or proceeding between the
Cross-Indemnifying Party and the Cross-Indemnified Party or between the
Cross-Indemnified Party and any third party or otherwise) as a result of each
such Cross-Indemnifying Party's respective willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud
and/or negligence in the performance of each of its respective duties hereunder
or by reason of reckless disregard of its respective obligations and duties
hereunder (including in the case of the Servicer, any agent of the Servicer or
sub-servicer).
(d) The Trust Fund shall indemnify the Trustee and the Fiscal
Agent and their respective Affiliates and each of the directors, officers,
employees and agents of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and their respective
Affiliates (each, a "Trust-Indemnified Party") from, and hold it harmless
against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or unanticipated
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel incurred by the Trust-Indemnified Party in any action or proceeding
between any of the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Custodian, the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer and the Trust-Indemnified Party
or between the Trust-Indemnified Party and any third party or otherwise) arising
in respect of this Agreement or the Certificates, in each case to the extent and
only to the extent, such payments are expressly reimbursable under this
Agreement or are "unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(iii), other than (i)
those resulting from the negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of
the Trust-Indemnified Party and (ii) those as to which such Trust-Indemnified
Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.05(c). The term
"unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC" shall include any fees, expenses
and disbursement of any separate trustee or co-trustee appointed hereunder, only
to the extent such fees, expenses and disbursements were not reasonably
anticipated as of the Closing Date and the losses, liabilities, damages, claims
or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred or advanced by a
Trust-Indemnified Party in connection with any litigation arising out of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 2.03, Section 3.10, the
third paragraph of Section 3.11, Section 4.05 and Section 7.01. The right of
reimbursement of the Trust-Indemnified Parties under this Section 8.05(d) shall
be senior to the rights of all Certificateholders.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section
8.05 shall survive the termination or maturity of this Agreement or the
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be,
as regards rights accrued prior to such resignation or removal and (with respect
to any acts or omissions during their respective tenures) the resignation,
removal or termination of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent,
the Certificate Registrar or the Custodian.
(f) This Section 8.05 shall be expressly construed to include, but
not be limited to, such indemnities, compensation, expenses, disbursements,
advances, losses, liabilities, damages and the like, as may pertain or relate to
any environmental law or environmental matter.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall satisfy the requirements of Section
26(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and shall at all
times be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the
laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers and to accept the trust conferred under this
Agreement, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a
rating on its unsecured long-term debt of at least "BBB" by S&P and "Baa2" by
Xxxxx'x (or at any time when there is no Fiscal Agent appointed and acting
hereunder or any such Fiscal Agent so appointed has a rating on its long-term
unsecured debt that is lower than "AA" by Fitch, "AA" by S&P and "Aa2" by
Xxxxx'x (without regard to any minus or numeric qualifier) the rating on the
unsecured long term debt of the Trustee must be at least "AA" by Fitch, "AA" by
S&P and "Aa2" by Xxxxx'x, or meet different standards, provided that each Rating
Agency shall have confirmed in writing that such different standards would not,
in and of itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the
then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates) and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and shall not be an Affiliate of the
Servicer (except during any period when the Trustee has assumed the duties of
the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02). If a corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for
purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. In the event that the place of business
from which the Trustee administers the Trust Fund is a state or local
jurisdiction that imposes a tax on the Trust Fund or the net income of a REMIC
(other than a tax corresponding to a tax imposed under the REMIC Provisions) the
Trustee shall elect either to (i) resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 8.07, (ii) pay such tax and continue as Trustee or
(iii) administer the Trust Fund from a state and local jurisdiction that does
not impose such a tax. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Special Servicer and each Rating Agency. Upon such notice of resignation,
the Fiscal Agent shall also be deemed to have been removed and, accordingly, the
Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee, the appointment of which
would not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal
by any Rating Agency of the then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates,
and a successor Fiscal Agent (if necessary to satisfy the requirements contained
in Section 8.06), the appointment of which, if the successor Trustee is not
rated by each Rating Agency in one of its two highest long-term debt rating
categories, would not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or
withdrawal by any Rating Agency of the then-current ratings assigned to the
Certificates, by written instrument, in triplicate, which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning Trustee, with a copy to the Fiscal Agent deemed
removed, and the successor Trustee and successor Fiscal Agent. If no successor
Trustee and successor Fiscal Agent shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee and the Fiscal Agent may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee and
successor Fiscal Agent.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Depositor or the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee
shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged 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, or upon
a confirmation in writing by any Rating Agency that not terminating the Trustee,
or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, would, in and of itself, cause the
then-current rating assigned to any Class of Certificates to be qualified,
withdrawn or downgraded, then the Depositor or the Servicer shall remove the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent and the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee and successor Fiscal Agent by written instrument, which shall be
delivered to the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent so removed and to the successor
Trustee and the successor Fiscal Agent.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 50% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent (and any removal
of the Trustee shall be deemed to be a removal also of the Fiscal Agent) and
appoint a successor Trustee and successor Fiscal Agent by written instrument or
instruments, in eight originals, signed by such Holders or their
attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall
be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Servicer, one complete
set to the Trustee so removed, one complete set to the Fiscal Agent deemed
removed, one complete set to the successor Trustee so appointed and one complete
set to the successor Fiscal Agent so appointed.
In the event of removal of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent shall be
deemed to have been removed.
In the event that the Trustee or Fiscal Agent is terminated or
removed pursuant to this Section 8.07, all of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans shall be terminated, other than
any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination or
removal (including the right to receive all fees, expenses and other amounts
accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate
on all such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as
provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such
termination or removal).
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and Fiscal Agent and
appointment of a successor Trustee and, if such trustee is not rated at least
"AA" by each Rating Agency, a successor Fiscal Agent pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee and, if necessary, successor Fiscal Agent
as provided in Section 8.08.
All reasonable costs and expenses of the Depositor or Servicer and
the successor Trustee incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage
Files to the successor Trustee and amending this Agreement to reflect such
succession as successor Trustee and otherwise causing the transfer required
pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall be paid by the predecessor Trustee upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses or if not
paid by such predecessor, after exercising reasonable diligence in attempting to
receive such compensation from the predecessor Trustee, then by the Trust Fund.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee and Fiscal Agent.
(a) Any successor Trustee and any successor Fiscal Agent appointed
as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor, to the Servicer and to the predecessor Trustee and predecessor Fiscal
Agent, as the case may be, instruments accepting their appointment hereunder,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee and
predecessor Fiscal Agent shall become effective and such successor Trustee and
successor Fiscal Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee or
Fiscal Agent herein, provided that the appointment of such successor Trustee and
successor Fiscal Agent shall not, as evidenced in writing, result in a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor Trustee
all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder,
and the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations. No successor Trustee shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 8.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor
Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.
(b) Any successor Trustee or Fiscal Agent appointed pursuant to
this Agreement shall satisfy the eligibility requirements set forth in Section
8.06 hereof.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06, 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.
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustee to act (at the expense of the Trustee) as co-trustee or co-trustees,
jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the
other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights
and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.
If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after
the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default or
Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall
have the power to make such appointment. Except as required by applicable law,
the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee shall not relieve the
Trustee of its responsibilities, obligations and liabilities hereunder. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s)
shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), 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 the
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 Fund or any portion thereof in any
such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or
co-trustee solely at the direction of the Trustee.
No trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any prior trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor
and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee, or if the separate trustee or
co-trustee is an employee of the Trustee, the Trustee acting alone may accept
the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
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 or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
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. In no
event shall any such separate trustee or co-trustee be entitled to any provision
relating to the conduct of affecting the liability of or affording protection to
such separate trustee or co-trustee that imposes a standard of conduct less
stringent than that imposed by the Trustee hereunder, affording greater
protection than that afforded to the Trustee hereunder or providing a greater
limit on liability than that provided to the Trustee hereunder.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee 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 or co-trustee
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.
Section 8.11 Fiscal Agent Appointed; Concerning the Fiscal
Agent.
(a) The Trustee hereby appoints ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as the initial
Fiscal Agent hereunder for the purposes of exercising and performing the
obligations and duties imposed upon the Fiscal Agent by Sections 3.24 and 4.06.
(b) The Fiscal Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in Sections 3.24 and 4.06.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Fiscal Agent from liability for its own negligent failure to act or its own
willful misfeasance or for a breach of a representation or warranty contained
herein; provided, however, that (i) the duties and obligations of the Fiscal
Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of Sections 3.24 and
4.06, the Fiscal Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Agreement against the Fiscal Agent and, in the absence of bad faith on the
part of the Fiscal Agent, the Fiscal Agent may conclusively rely, as to the
truth and correctness of the statements or conclusions expressed therein, upon
any resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders
or other instruments furnished to the Fiscal Agent by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee and which on their face do not
contradict the requirements of this Agreement, and (ii) the provisions of clause
(ii) of Section 8.01(c) shall apply to the Fiscal Agent.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.11(c), the Fiscal
Agent also shall have the benefit of provisions of clauses (i), (ii), (iii)
(other than the proviso thereto), (iv), (v) (other than the proviso thereto) and
(vi) of Section 8.02(a).
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.01 Termination.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent
created hereby with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as
hereinafter set forth) shall terminate immediately following the occurrence of
the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Article IX
on the Termination Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust
created hereby continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
Ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom, living on the date
hereof.
(b) The Trust Fund, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC
shall be terminated and the assets of the Trust Fund shall be sold or otherwise
disposed of in connection therewith, only pursuant to a "plan of complete
liquidation" within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) providing for the
actions contemplated by the provisions hereof pursuant to which the applicable
Notice of Termination is given and requiring that the Trust Fund, the Upper-Tier
REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC shall terminate on a Distribution Date occurring
not more than 90 days following the date of adoption of the plan of complete
liquidation. For purposes of this Section 9.01(b), the Notice of Termination
given pursuant to Section 9.01(c) shall constitute the adoption of the plan of
complete liquidation as of the date such notice is given, which date shall be
specified by the Trustee in the final federal income tax returns of the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Loan REMICs shall be terminated
in such a complete liquidation simultaneously with the Upper-Tier REMIC and the
Lower-Tier REMIC and in accordance with the provisions of the respective Loan
REMIC Declarations; provided, that any Loan REMIC shall terminate without
liquidation on any earlier Distribution Date following a Final Recovery
Determination or other payment in full with respect to the related Mortgage
Loan. Notwithstanding the termination of the Trust REMICs, the Loan REMICs or
the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall be responsible for filing the final Tax
Returns for the Trust REMICs and the Loan REMICs and applicable income tax or
information returns for the Grantor Trust for the period ending with such
termination, and shall retain books and records with respect to the Trust
REMICs, the Loan REMICs and the Grantor Trust for the same period of retention
for which it maintains its own tax returns or other reasonable period.
(c) The Depositor, and if the Depositor does not exercise the
option, the Special Servicer, and if neither the Depositor nor the Special
Servicer exercises the option, the Servicer and, if none of the Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Depositor exercises the option, the holders of the Class
LR Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30
days' prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee and Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated
Termination Date, on any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance as of the day immediately prior to such Distribution Date of
the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is less than 1% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, by
purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and
REO Properties then included in the Trust Fund, and all other property acquired
in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to
the greater of:
(i) the sum of
(A) 100% of the outstanding principal balance of each
Mortgage Loan (excluding any REO Mortgage Loan) included
in the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month
preceding such Distribution Date (less any P&I Advances
previously made on account of principal);
(B) the fair market value of all other property (including
any REO Property) included in the Trust Fund as of the
last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date,
as determined by an Independent appraiser acceptable to
the Servicer as of the date not more than 30 days prior
to the last day of the month preceding such Distribution
Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan (including for this purpose any
Mortgage Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged
Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable), to the last
day of the Collection Period preceding such Distribution
Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on account
of interest);
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with
interest thereon, and unpaid Trust Fund expenses;
(E) the Repurchase Return of Premium Amount; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and all
REO Property in the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month
preceding such Distribution Date, as determined by an
Independent Appraiser acceptable to the Servicer, together
with one month's interest thereon at the Mortgage Rate.
Any portion of such purchase price attributable to a Mortgage Loan included in a
Loan REMIC shall be distributed in respect of the related Loan REMIC Regular
Interest and to the Holders of the Class LR Certificates in respect of the
related Loan REMIC Residual Interest in complete liquidation of such Loan REMIC.
All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to this
Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage
Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) shall
be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder. The Trustee
shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an
Independent appraiser pursuant to this subsection (c).
Anything in this Section 9.01 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
holders of the Class A-2, Class A-3, 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 Q-1 and
Class Q-2 Certificates shall receive that portion of the proceeds of a sale of
the assets of the Trust Fund allocable to Excess Interest, as their interests
may appear based upon their original Certificate Balances.
(d) If the Trust Fund has not been previously terminated pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section 9.01, the Trustee shall determine as soon as
practicable the Distribution Date on which the Trustee reasonably anticipates,
based on information with respect to the Mortgage Loans previously provided to
it, that the final distribution will be made (i) to the Holders of outstanding
Regular Certificates, and to the Trustee in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests notwithstanding that such distribution may be insufficient to
distribute in full the Certificate Balance of each Certificate or Lower-Tier
Regular Interest, together with amounts required to be distributed on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a), (b), (c) or (d) or (ii) if no
such Classes of Certificates are then outstanding, to the Holders of the Class
LR Certificates of any amount remaining in the Collection Account or the
Distribution Account, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates of any amount
remaining in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, to the Holders of the Class
A-2, Class A-3, 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 Q-1 and Class Q-2
Certificates their allocable shares of any amount remaining in the Excess
Interest Distribution Account, and to the Holders of the Class X Certificates of
any amount remaining in the Repurchase Price Return of Premium Distribution
Account, in each case, following the later to occur of (A) the receipt or
collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust
Fund or (B) the liquidation or disposition pursuant to Section 3.18 of the last
asset held by the Trust Fund.
(e) Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Section 9.01 shall be mailed by the Trustee to affected Certificateholders with
a copy to the Servicer, the Special Servicer and each Rating Agency at their
addresses shown in the Certificate Registrar as soon as practicable after the
Trustee shall have received, given or been deemed to have received a Notice of
Termination but in any event not more than thirty days, and not less than ten
days, prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. The notice mailed by the
Trustee to affected Certificateholders shall:
(i) specify the Anticipated Termination Date on which the final
distribution is anticipated to be made to Holders of
Certificates of the Classes specified therein;
(ii) specify the amount of any such final distribution, if known;
and
(iii) state that the final distribution to Certificateholders will
be made only upon presentation and surrender of Certificates
at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified.
If the Trust Fund is not terminated on any Anticipated Termination Date for any
reason, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof to each affected
Certificateholder.
(f) Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of
the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set
aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any
Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant
to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the
Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto.
If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may, directly or through an agent,
take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such
funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which
remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the
Trustee all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Trustee shall
thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier
of (i) its termination as Trustee hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to
a successor Trustee and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution
of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01. Any such amounts transferred to
the Trustee may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain
realized from investment of such funds shall be for the benefit of the Trustee.
(g) The Holder of 100% of the Percentage Interests in the most
subordinate Class of Sequential Certificates outstanding (other than the Class
Q-2 Certificates) may purchase any Mortgage Loan on its Anticipated Repayment
Date, if any, at a price equal to the sum of the following:
(i) 100% of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage
Loan on such Anticipated Repayment Date (less any P&I Advances
previously made on account of principal);
(ii) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of such
Mortgage Loan at the Mortgage Rate thereof, to the last day of
the Interest Accrual Period preceding such Anticipated
Repayment Date (less any P&I Advances previously made on
account of interest);
(iii) the aggregate amount of all unreimbursed Advances with respect
to such Mortgage Loan, with interest thereon at the Advance
Rate, and unpaid Special Servicing Compensation, Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses; and
(iv) the amount of any Liquidation Expenses incurred by the Trust
Fund in connection with such purchase;
provided, that, such Holder, at its expense, has provided the Trustee with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such purchase would not (x) result in a
gain which would be subject to the tax on net income derived from "prohibited
transactions" imposed by Code Section 860F(a)(1) or otherwise result in the
imposition of any other tax on the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any
Loan REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or (y) cause the Upper-Tier REMIC, the
Lower-Tier REMIC or any Loan REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC; such opinion
relying upon appraisals of the fair market value (for the purposes of Section
860F(c)(1) of the Code) of such Mortgage Loan by at least three Independent
appraisers.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Mortgage Loan may not be
purchased if the fair market value of the Mortgage Loan is greater than 100% of
the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan.
The Holder of 100% of the most subordinate Class of Sequential
Certificates (provided that the Class Q-2 Certificates shall not be considered a
Class for such purposes) may purchase any Mortgage Loan on or after its
Anticipated Repayment Date under the same terms and conditions hereunder as in
the case of a purchase by the Holder of the Class LR Certificates if the Holder
of the Class LR Certificates either (i) notifies the Holder of the most
subordinate Class of Sequential Certificates that it will not purchase such
Mortgage Loan or (ii) does not, in fact, purchase such Mortgage Loan on its
Anticipated Repayment Date.
The proceeds of any such purchase hereunder shall be deposited in
the Collection Account and disbursed as provided herein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
9.01(g), if the Class LR or most subordinate Class of Certificates shall be held
by an Affiliate of the Depositor, such Affiliate may not exercise any of the
purchase rights under this Section 9.01(g) with respect to a Mortgage Loan that
is in default.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and
such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 10.02 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate
to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the

No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation

to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to institute any suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this
Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, unless such Holder previously shall have given
to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as
hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates representing
Percentage Interests of at least 25% of each affected Class of Certificates
shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit
or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates of any Class shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue
of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of
the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Certificates of such Class. For the
protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.

(xiv) any substitution or release of collateral hereunder.
(b) The Servicer shall promptly furnish to each Rating Agency (and
to the Special Servicer with respect to clause (iv) below and with respect to
Mortgage Loans on the Watch List, clause (iii)) copies of the following:
(i) each of its annual statements as to compliance described in
Section 3.14;
(ii) each of its annual independent public accountants' servicing
reports described in Section 3.15;
(iii) except with respect to Fitch, a copy of each rent roll and
each operating and other financial statement and occupancy
reports, to the extent such information is required to be
delivered under a Mortgage Loan, in each case to the extent
collected pursuant to Section 3.03; however, with respect to
S&P, the Servicer shall provide only the quarterly and annual
statements or reports; and
(iv) a copy of any notice with respect to a breach of a
representation or warranty by the Mortgage Loan Seller with
respect to any Mortgage Loan.
(c) The Servicer shall furnish each Rating Agency, each
Underwriter and the Depositor with such information with respect to the Trust

Agency, such Underwriter or the Depositor shall reasonably request and which the
Servicer can reasonably obtain without undue cost. The Servicer may request
reimbursement, for its reasonable copying costs with respect to such
information, from the requesting party (other than the Rating Agencies). The
Rating Agencies shall not be charged any fee or expense in connection therewith.
The Servicer shall send copies to the Depositor of any information provided to
any Rating Agency; provided, however, that the Servicer shall only provide the
Depositor with copies of the items mentioned in Section 10.06(b)(iii) upon the
Depositor's request therefor.

Section 10.07 Amendment.
This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and
the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to
cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein or
therein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein
or therein, (iii) to amend any provision hereof to the extent necessary or
desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the Classes of
Regular Certificates by each Rating Agency, (iv) to amend or supplement any
provisions herein or therein that shall not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto, as
evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency
that such amendment or supplement will not result in a qualification, withdrawal
or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates, (v) to
amend or supplement any provision hereof to the extent necessary to reallocate
any responsibilities or rights as between the Servicer and the Special Servicer,
upon confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such amendment or
supplement will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the
then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates or (vi) to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement,
which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and will
not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current
rating or ratings then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as
confirmed by each Rating Agency in writing.
This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under this Agreement, without the consent of the
Holders of all Certificates representing all of the Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected hereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the
Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent to make a P&I
Advance or Property Advance without the consent of the Holders
of all Certificates representing all of the Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby; or
(iv) amend any section hereof which relates to the amendment of
this Agreement without the consent of all the holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the
Class or Classes affected thereby.
Further, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of the Certificateholders, may amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate
or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMICs as two separate REMICs, of the Loan REMICs
as two separate REMICs and of the portion of the Trust Fund exclusive of the
Trust REMICs and the Loan REMICs as a grantor trust, or to prevent the
imposition of any additional material state or local taxes, at all times that
any Certificates are outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund),
is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the
imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material
respect the interest of any Certificateholder.
In the event that neither the Depositor nor any successor thereto,
if any, is in existence, any amendment under this Section 10.07 shall be
effective with the consent of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Special
Servicer and the Servicer, in writing, and to the extent required by this
Section, the Certificateholders. Promptly after the execution of any amendment,
the Servicer shall forward to the Trustee and the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder and
each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 10.07 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The method of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe; provided, however,
that such method shall always be by affirmation and in writing.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
amendment shall be made to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement unless, if
requested by the Servicer and/or the Trustee, the Servicer and the Trustee shall
have received an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such
amendment (or, if such amendment is required by either Rating Agency to maintain
the rating issued by it or requested by the Trustee for any purpose described in
clause (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this Section, then at the expense of
the Trust Fund), to the effect that such amendment will not cause the Upper-Tier
REMIC, Lower-Tier REMIC or any Loan REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding, cause a tax to be imposed on the
Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions (other than a tax at the highest marginal
corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property) or cause the portion
of the Trust Fund exclusive of the Trust REMICs and the Loan REMICs to fail to
qualify as a grantor trust.
Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or any
Custodial Agreement, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Special Servicer and the
Servicer may request and shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon an Opinion
of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or, if such
amendment is required by either Rating Agency to maintain the rating issued by
it or requested by the Trustee for any purpose described in clause (i), (ii),
(iii) or (v) (which do not modify or otherwise relate solely to the obligations,
duties or rights of the Trustee) of the first sentence of this Section, then at
the expense of the Trust Fund) stating that the execution of such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent may,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the
Trustee's or the Fiscal Agent's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Agreement.
Section 10.08 Confirmation of Intent.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance
of the Trust Fund (including the Mortgage Loans) by the Depositor to the Trustee
on behalf of Certificateholders as contemplated by this Agreement and the sale
by the Depositor of the Certificates be, and be treated for all purposes as, a
sale by the Depositor of the undivided portion of the beneficial interest in the
Trust Fund represented by the Certificates. It is, further, not the intention of
the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Trust
Fund is held to continue to be property of the Depositor then (a) this Agreement
shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under applicable law; (b) the
transfer of the Trust Fund provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders of a first priority
security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to
the Trust Fund and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary
or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including, without limitation, all amounts from time to time held or
invested in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, Upper-Tier
Distribution Account, Excess Interest Distribution Account and Repurchase Price
Return of Premium Distribution Account whether in the form of cash, instruments,
securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee (or the
Custodian on its behalf) of Notes and such other items of property as constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be
"possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the Delaware and Illinois Uniform
Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to Persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any
assignment of the interest of the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof shall
also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The
Depositor shall, and upon the request of the Servicer, the Trustee shall, to the
extent consistent with this Agreement (and at the expense of the Trust Fund),
take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security
interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority
under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this
Agreement. It is the intent of the parties that such a security interest would
be effective whether any of the Certificates are sold, pledged or assigned.
Section 10.09 [Reserved]
Section 10.10 Intended Third-Party Beneficiaries.
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. and Nomura Securities International, Inc. are
intended to be third-party beneficiaries hereunder. No other Person other than a
party to this Agreement and any Certificateholder shall have any rights with
respect to the enforcement of any of the rights or obligations hereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement specifically state
that no Borrower, property manager or other party to a Mortgage Loan is an
intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent have caused their names to be signed
hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized all as of the day
and year first above written.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a
beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be
made with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more
fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first
liens on commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee
and serviced by the Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans
are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof,
assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and is bound thereby. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement are Class A-2, Class X-0, Xxxxx XX-0, 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 Q-1, Class Q-2, Class R and Class LR Certificates (together with the
Class A-1 Certificates, the "Certificates"; the Holders of Certificates issued
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as
"Certificateholders").
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 11, 1999 (the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), by and among Asset Securitization
Corporation, as Depositor, BNY Asset Solutions LLC, as Servicer, Lennar
Partners, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle Bank National Association, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee makes no representation or warranty as to any of the
statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates
or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity
as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Trustee, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the seventeenth day of each
month (each such date, a "Distribution Date"); provided, that if the seventeenth
day of any month is not a Business Day, the Distribution Date shall be the
following Business Day, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person's pro
rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of
that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then
distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-1 Certificates for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums,
as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on
the Class A-1 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual
Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the
extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The "Interest Accrual
Period" with respect to any Distribution Date commences on and includes the
eleventh day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date
occurs and ends on and includes the tenth day of the month in which such
Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of
30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any
Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the
Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which
will be the tenth day of the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs
or, if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day. Such
distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination
Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date by check
mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate
Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Paying
Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution
on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or its agent (which
may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that
is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of failure
of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held
in trust for the account of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the
Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the
Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto.
If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may, directly or through an agent,
take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such
funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which
remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the
Trustee all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Trustee shall
thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier
of (i) its termination as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the transfer of such amounts to a successor Trustee or (ii) the termination of
the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R
Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any
Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder's
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Such funds held by the
Trustee may be invested under certain circumstances, and subject to certain
conditions as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other
things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as
more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund
includes (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii)
all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the
Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all
revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) the Servicer's, the
Special Servicer's and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with
respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) any Assignments of
Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) any indemnities or
guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all
assets deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Repurchase Price Return of Premium Distribution Account and the Interest Reserve
Account, including reinvestment income; (ix) each Loan REMIC Regular Interest
and Loan REMIC Residual Interest; (x) any environmental indemnity agreements
relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) the rights and remedies under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements and Bloomfield Purchase Agreement;
and (xii) the proceeds of any of the foregoing. As provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above-accounts
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.

Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced
hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of
the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or
exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate
Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer
(executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the

transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized
denominations of a like aggregate Certificate Balance. Such Certificates shall

the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate

other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in
Section 5.02(h) of that Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an
Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund
for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's
review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or
transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein) incurred by the
Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate
Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any
such transfer.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may
be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any
provisions therein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provisions in such agreements, (iii) to amend any provision of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the rating
or ratings assigned to each of the Classes of Regular Certificates by each
Rating Agency, (iv) to amend or supplement any provisions in such agreements
that shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion
of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or
confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such amendment or
supplement will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the
then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates, (v) to amend or supplement
any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to
reallocate any responsibilities or rights as between the Servicer and Special
Servicer, upon confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such
amendment or supplement will not result in a qualification, downgrade or
withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates or (vi) to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will not result in a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may
also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of
each of the Classes of Regular Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3%
of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the
amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without
the consent of the Holders of all Certificates representing
all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes
affected hereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or the obligations of the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent to make a P&I Advance or Property
Advance without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or
Classes affected thereby; or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which
relates to the amendment of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the
Class or Classes affected thereby.
Further, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be
necessary to maintain the qualification of the Trust REMICs as two separate
REMICs, of the Loan REMICs as two separate REMICs and the portion of the Trust
Fund exclusive of the Trust REMICs as a grantor trust, or to prevent the
imposition of any additional material state or local taxes, at all times that
any Certificates are outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund),
is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the
imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material
respect the interest of any Certificateholder.
The Depositor, and if the Depositor does not exercise the option,
the Special Servicer and, if neither the Special Servicer nor the Depositor
exercises the option, the Servicer and, if the Depositor, the Special Servicer
or the Servicer do not exercise their respective option, the Holders of the
Class LR Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in
such Class may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than
30 days' prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee and Servicer any time
on or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0%
of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, on any Distribution
Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
remaining in the Trust Fund is less than 1% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and REO Property then included
in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at
a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the greater of:
(i) the sum of
(A) 100% of the outstanding principal balance of each
Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund as of the last
day of the month preceding such Distribution Date (less
any P&I Advances previously made on account of
principal);
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Servicer as of the date not
more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month
preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan (including for this purpose any
Mortgage Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged
Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) to the last
day of the month preceding such Distribution Date (less
any P&I Advances previously made on account of
interest);
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with
interest thereon and unpaid Trust Fund expenses;
(E) the Repurchase Price Return of Premium Amount; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and all
REO Property in the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month
preceding such Distribution Date, as determined by an
Independent appraiser acceptable to the Servicer, together
with one month's interest thereon at the Mortgage Rate.
Any portion of such purchase price attributable to a Mortgage Loan included in a
Loan REMIC shall be distributed in respect of the related Loan REMIC Regular
Interest and to the Holders of the Class LR Certificates in respect of the
related Loan REMIC Residual Interest in complete liquidation of such Loan REMIC.
All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising
its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely
conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to
Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the repurchase of the Mortgage Loans
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Holders of the Class
LR Certificates as described above; or (ii) the later of (a) the receipt or
collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust
Fund, or (b) the liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund. In no event,
however, will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to
the United Kingdom, living on the date hereof.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has
been executed by the Trustee or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by

the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Class A-1

This certifies that Cede Co. is the registered owner of a beneficial
ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with
respect to the Class A-2 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully
below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and
serviced by the Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are
to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof,
assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and is bound thereby. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement are the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx XX-0, 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 Q-1, Class Q-2, Class R and Class LR Certificates (together with
the Class A-2 Certificates, the "Certificates"; the Holders of Certificates
issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to
herein as "Certificateholders").
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 11, 1999 (the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), by and among Asset Securitization
Corporation, as Depositor, BNY Asset Solutions LLC, as Servicer, Lennar
Partners, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle Bank National Association, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee makes no representation or warranty as to any of the
statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates
or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity
as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Trustee, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the seventeenth day of each
month (each such date, a "Distribution Date"); provided, that if the seventeenth
day of any month is not a Business Day, the Distribution Date shall be the
following Business Day, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person's pro
rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of
that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then
distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-2 Certificates for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums,
as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on
the Class A-2 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual
Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the
extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The "Interest Accrual
Period" with respect to any Distribution Date commences on and includes the
eleventh day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date
occurs and ends on and includes the tenth day of the month in which such
Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of
30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any
Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the
Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which
will be the tenth day of the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs
or, if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day. Such
distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination
Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date by check
mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate
Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Paying
Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution
on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or its agent (which
may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that
is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of failure
of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held
in trust for the account of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the
Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the
Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto.
If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may, directly or through an agent,
take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such
funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which
remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the
Trustee all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Trustee shall
thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier
of (i) its termination as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the transfer of such amounts to a successor Trustee or (ii) the termination of
the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R
Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any
Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder's
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Such funds held by the
Trustee may be invested under certain circumstances, and subject to certain
conditions as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other
things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as
more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund
includes (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii)
all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the
Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all
revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) the Servicer's, the
Special Servicer's and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with
respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) any Assignments of
Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) any indemnities or
guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all
assets deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Repurchase Price Return of Premium Distribution Account and the Interest Reserve
Account, including reinvestment income; (ix) each Loan REMIC Regular Interest
and Loan REMIC Residual Interest; (x) any environmental indemnity agreements
relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) the rights and remedies under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements and Bloomfield Purchase Agreement;
and (xii) the proceeds of any of the foregoing. As provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above-accounts
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced
hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of
the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or
exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate
Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer
(executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the
requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon surrender
for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements of
Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and
the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized
denominations of a like aggregate Certificate Balance. Such Certificates shall
be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate
Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or
exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in
Section 5.02(h) of that Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an
Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund
for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's
review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or
transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein) incurred by the
Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate
Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any
such transfer.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may
be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any
provisions therein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provisions in such agreements, (iii) to amend any provision of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the rating
or ratings assigned to each of the Classes of Regular Certificates by each
Rating Agency, (iv) to amend or supplement any provisions in such agreements
that shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion
of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or
confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such amendment or
supplement will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the
then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates, (v) to amend or supplement
any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to
reallocate any responsibilities or rights as between the Servicer and Special
Servicer, upon conformation in writing from each Rating Agency that such
amendment or supplement will not result in a qualification, downgrade or
withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates or (vi) to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will not result in a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may
also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of
each of the Classes of Regular Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3%
of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the
amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without
the consent of the Holders of all Certificates representing
all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes
affected hereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or the obligations of the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent to make a P&I Advance or Property
Advance without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or
Classes affected thereby; or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which
relates to the amendment of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the
Class or Classes affected thereby.
Further, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be
necessary to maintain the qualification of the Trust REMICs as two separate
REMICs, of the Loan REMICs as two separate REMICs and the portion of the Trust
Fund exclusive of the Trust REMICs as a grantor trust, or to prevent the
imposition of any additional material state or local taxes, at all times that
any Certificates are outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund),
is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the
imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material
respect the interest of any Certificateholder.
The Depositor, and if the Depositor does not exercise the option,
the Special Servicer and, if neither the Servicer nor the Depositor exercises
the option, the Servicer and, if the Depositor, Special Servicer or the Servicer
do not exercise their respective option, the Holders of the Class LR
Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class
may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days'
prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee and Servicer any time on or
after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, on any Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans remaining in
the Trust Fund is less than 1% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not
less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and REO Property then included in the Trust
Fund, and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase
price, payable in cash, equal to the greater of:
(i) the sum of
(A) 100% of the outstanding principal balance of each
Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund as of the last
day of the month preceding such Distribution Date (less
any P&I Advances previously made on account of
principal);
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Servicer as of the date not
more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month
preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan (including for this purpose any
Mortgage Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged
Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) to the last
day of the month preceding such Distribution Date (less
any P&I Advances previously made on account of
interest);
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with
interest thereon and unpaid Trust Fund expenses;
(E) the Repurchase Price Return of Premium Amount; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and all
REO Property in the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month
preceding such Distribution Date, as determined by an
Independent appraiser acceptable to the Servicer, together
with one month's interest thereon at the Mortgage Rate.

This certifies that Cede Co. is the registered owner of a beneficial
ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with
respect to the Class A-3 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully
below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and
serviced by the Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are
to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof,
assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and is bound thereby. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement are the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx XX-0, 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 Q-1, Class Q-2, Class R and Class LR Certificates (together with
the Class A-3 Certificates, the "Certificates"; the Holders of Certificates
issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to
herein as "Certificateholders").
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 11, 1999 (the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), by and among Asset Securitization
Corporation, as Depositor, BNY Asset Solutions LLC, as Servicer, Lennar
Partners, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle Bank National Association, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee makes no representation or warranty as to any of the
statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates
or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity
as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Trustee, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the seventeenth day of each
month (each such date, a "Distribution Date"); provided, that if the seventeenth
day of any month is not a Business Day, the Distribution Date shall be the
following Business Day, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person's pro
rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of
that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then
distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-3 Certificates for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums,
as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on
the Class A-3 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Certificate Balance hereof.
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual
Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the
extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The "Interest Accrual
Period" with respect to any Distribution Date commences on and includes the
eleventh day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date
occurs and ends on and includes the tenth day of the month in which such
Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of
30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any
Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the
Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which
will be the tenth day of the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs
or, if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day. Such
distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination
Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date by check
mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate
Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Paying
Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution
on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or its agent (which
may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that
is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of failure
of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held
in trust for the account of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the
Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the
Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto.
If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may, directly or through an agent,
take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such
funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which
remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the
Trustee all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Trustee shall
thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier
of (i) its termination as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the transfer of such amounts to a successor Trustee or (ii) the termination of
the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R
Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any
Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder's
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Such funds held by the
Trustee may be invested under certain circumstances, and subject to certain
conditions as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other
things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as
more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund
includes (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii)
all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the
Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all
revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) the Servicer's, the
Special Servicer's and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with
respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) any Assignments of
Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) any indemnities or
guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all
assets deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Repurchase Price Return of Premium Distribution Account and the Interest Reserve
Account, including reinvestment income; (ix) each Loan REMIC Regular Interest
and Loan REMIC Residual Interest; (x) any environmental indemnity agreements
relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) the rights and remedies under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements and Bloomfield Purchase Agreement;
and (xii) the proceeds of any of the foregoing. As provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above-accounts
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced
hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of
the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or
exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate
Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer
(executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the
requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon surrender
for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements of
Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and
the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized
denominations of a like aggregate Certificate Balance. Such Certificates shall
be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate
Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or
exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in
Section 5.02(h) of that Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an
Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund
for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's
review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or
transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein) incurred by the
Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate
Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any
such transfer.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may
be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any
provisions therein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provisions in such agreements, (iii) to amend any provision of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the rating
or ratings assigned to each of the Classes of Regular Certificates by each
Rating Agency, (iv) to amend or supplement any provisions in such agreements
that shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion
of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or
confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such amendment or
supplement will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the
then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates, (v) to amend or supplement
any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to
reallocate any responsibilities or rights as between the Servicer and Special
Servicer, upon confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such
amendment or supplement will not result in a qualification, downgrade or
withdrawal of then-current ratings assigned to the Certificate or (vi) to make
any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will not result in a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may
also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of
each of the Classes of Regular Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3%
of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the
amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without
the consent of the Holders of all Certificates representing
all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes
affected hereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or the obligations of the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent to make a P&I Advance or Property
Advance without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or
Classes affected thereby; or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which
relates to the amendment of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the
Class or Classes affected thereby.
Further, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be
necessary to maintain the qualification of the Trust REMICs as two separate
REMICs, of the Loan REMICs as two separate REMICs and the portion of the Trust
Fund exclusive of the Trust REMICs as a grantor trust, or to prevent the
imposition of any additional material state or local taxes, at all times that
any Certificates are outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund),
is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the
imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material
respect the interest of any Certificateholder.
The Depositor, and if the Depositor does not exercise the option,
the Special Servicer and, if neither the Special Servicer nor the Depositor
exercises the option, the Servicer and, if the Depositor, the Special Servicer
or the Servicer do not exercise their respective option, the Holders of the
Class LR Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in
such Class may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than
30 days' prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee and Servicer any time
on or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0%
of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, on any Distribution
Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
remaining in the Trust Fund is less than 1% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and REO Property then included
in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at
a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the greater of:
(i) the sum of
(A) 100% of the outstanding principal balance of each
Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund as of the last
day of the month preceding such Distribution Date (less
any P&I Advances previously made on account of
principal);
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Servicer as of the date not
more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month
preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan (including for this purpose any
Mortgage Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged
Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) to the last
day of the month preceding such Distribution Date (less
any P&I Advances previously made on account of
interest);
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with
interest thereon and unpaid Trust Fund expenses;
(E) the Repurchase Price Return of Premium Amount; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and all
REO Property in the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month
preceding such Distribution Date, as determined by an
Independent Appraiser acceptable to the Servicer, together
with one month's interest thereon at the Mortgage Rate.
Any portion of such purchase price attributable to a Mortgage Loan included in a
Loan REMIC shall be distributed in respect of the related Loan REMIC Regular
Interest and to the Holders of the Class LR Certificates in respect of the
related Loan REMIC Residual Interest in complete liquidation of such Loan REMIC.
All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising
its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely
conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to
Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the repurchase of the Mortgage Loans
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Holders of the Class
LR Certificates as described above; or (ii) the later of (a) the receipt or
collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust
Fund, or (b) the liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund. In no event,
however, will the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to

in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on
the Class CS-1 Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual
Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the
extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The "Interest Accrual
Period" with respect to any Distribution Date commences on and includes the
eleventh day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date
occurs and ends on and includes the tenth day of the month in which such
Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of
30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any
Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the
Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which
will be the tenth day of the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs
or, if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day. Such
distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination
Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date by check
mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate
Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Paying
Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution
on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee or its agent (which
may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that
is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of failure
of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held
in trust for the account of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the
Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the
Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the
Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto.
If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may, directly or through an agent,
take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such
funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which
remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the
Trustee all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Trustee shall
thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier
of (i) its termination as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the transfer of such amounts to a successor Trustee or (ii) the termination of
the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R
Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any
Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder's
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Such funds held by the
Trustee may be invested under certain circumstances, and subject to certain
conditions as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other
things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as
more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund
includes (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii)
all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the
Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all
revenues received in respect of any REO Property; (v) the Servicer's, the
Special Servicer's and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with
respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) any Assignments of
Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) any indemnities or
guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all
assets deposited in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Repurchase Price Return of Premium Distribution Account and the Interest Reserve
Account, including reinvestment income; (ix) each Loan REMIC Regular Interest
and Loan REMIC Residual Interest; (x) any environmental indemnity agreements
relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (xi) the rights and remedies under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements and Bloomfield Purchase Agreement;
and (xii) the proceeds of any of the foregoing. As provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, withdrawals may be made from certain of the above-accounts
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced
hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of
the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations set forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or
exchangeable only upon surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate
Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer
(executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the
requirements in Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Upon surrender
for registration of transfer of this Certificate, subject to the requirements of
Article V of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and
the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized
denominations of a like aggregate Notional Balance. Such Certificates shall be
delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate
Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or
exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in
Section 5.02(h) of that Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an
Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund
for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's
review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or
transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein) incurred by the
Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate
Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any
such transfer.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may
be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any
provisions therein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provisions in such agreements, (iii) to amend any provision of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the rating
or ratings assigned to each of the Classes of Regular Certificates by each
Rating Agency, (iv) to amend or supplement any provisions in such agreements
that shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion
of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or
confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such amendment or
supplement will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the
then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates, (v) to amend or supplement
any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to
reallocate any responsibilities or rights as between the Servicer and Special
Servicer, upon confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such
amendment or supplement will not result in a qualification, downgrade or
withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates or (vi) to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will not result in a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may
also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of
each of the Classes of Regular Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3%
of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the
amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without
the consent of the Holders of all Certificates representing
all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes
affected hereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or the obligations of the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent to make a P&I Advance or Property
Advance without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates
representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or
Classes affected thereby; or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which
relates to the amendment of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the
Class or Classes affected thereby.
Further, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be
necessary to maintain the qualification of the Trust REMICs as two separate
REMICs, of the Loan REMICs as two separate REMICs and the portion of the Trust
Fund exclusive of the Trust REMICs as a grantor trust, or to prevent the
imposition of any additional material state or local taxes, at all times that
any Certificates are outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund),
is necessary or helpful to maintain such qualification or to prevent the
imposition of any such taxes, and would not adversely affect in any material
respect the interest of any Certificateholder.
The Depositor, and if the Depositor does not exercise the option,
the Special Servicer and, if neither the Servicer nor the Depositor exercises
the option, the Servicer and, if the Depositor, Special Servicer or the Servicer
do not exercise their respective option, the Holders of the Class LR
Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class
may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days'
prior Notice of Termination given to the Trustee and Servicer any time on or
after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, on any Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans remaining in
the Trust Fund is less than 1% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not
less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and REO Property then included in the Trust
Fund, and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase
price, payable in cash, equal to the greater of:
(i) the sum of
(A) 100% of the outstanding principal balance of each
Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund as of the last
day of the month preceding such Distribution Date (less
any P&I Advances previously made on account of
principal);
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Servicer as of the date not
more than 30 days prior to the last day of the month
preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan (including for this purpose any
Mortgage Loan as to which title to the related Mortgaged
Property has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) to the last
day of the month preceding such Distribution Date (less
any P&I Advances previously made on account of
interest);
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, with
interest thereon and unpaid Trust Fund expenses;
(E) the Repurchase Price Return of Premium Amount; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and all
REO Property in the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month
preceding such Distribution Date, as determined by an
Independent appraiser acceptable to the Servicer, together
with one month's interest thereon at the Mortgage Rate.
Any portion of such purchase price attributable to a Mortgage Loan included in a
Loan REMIC shall be distributed in respect of the related Loan REMIC Regular
Interest and to the Holders of the Class LR Certificates in respect of the
related Loan REMIC Residual Interest in complete liquidation of such Loan REMIC.
All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising
its purchase rights thereunder. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely
conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to
Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the repurchase of the Mortgage Loans
by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Holder of the Class LR Certificates as
described above; or (ii) the later of (a) the receipt or collection of the last
payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund, or (b) the
liquidation and disposition pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of
the last asset held by the Trust Fund. In no event, however, will the trust
created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of
21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom, living
on the date hereof.

This certifies that Cede Co. is the registered owner of a beneficial
ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with
respect to the Class X Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below,
consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial and multifamily properties and held in trust by the Trustee and
serviced by the Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are
to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof,
assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and is bound thereby. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement are Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class CS-1, 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 Q-1, Class Q-2, Class R and Class LR Certificates (together with
the X Certificates, the "Certificates"; the Holders of Certificates issued under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as
"Certificateholders").
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 11, 1999 (the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), by and among Asset Securitization
Corporation, as Depositor, BNY Asset Solutions LLC, as Servicer, Lennar
Partners, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle Bank National Association, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee makes no representation or warranty as to any of the
statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates
or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity
as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Trustee, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other
than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the seventeenth day of each
month (each such date, a "Distribution Date"); provided, that if the seventeenth
day of any month is not a Business Day, the Distribution Date shall be the
following Business Day, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person's pro
rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of
that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then
distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X Certificates for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums,
as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Class X
Certificateholders will also be entitled to receive that portion of any
Repurchase Price constituting clause (v) of the definition thereof as set forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
During each Interest Accrual Period (as defined below), interest on
the Class X Certificates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months on the outstanding Notional Balance hereof.
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual
Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this
Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the
extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The "Interest Accrual
Period" with respect to any Distribution Date commences on and includes the
eleventh day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date
occurs and ends on and includes the tenth day of the month in which such
Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest Accrual Period is assumed to consist of
30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any
Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the
Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which
will be the tenth day of the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs
or, if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day. Such
distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination
Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date by check
mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate
Register or, provided that such Certificateholder shall have provided the Paying
Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the
United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. T
