Interest, provided that the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's
determination to waive the right to such accrued Excess Interest is in
accordance with the Servicing Standard and with Section 8.18 and Section 9.5
hereof. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, will
have no liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or any other person so
long as such determination is based on such criteria.

shall negotiate one or more new servicing agreements with the Master Servicer

servicing agreement, the new holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan or
B Note, as applicable, shall obtain and provide to the holder of the related
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and/or B Note written confirmation from each
rating agency then rating any securitization relating to such Serviced Companion

hereunder with respect to the Collection Period in which such event occurs or
(B) the rights of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that may otherwise

Servicer of a Request for Release. The Master Servicer shall, and is also hereby
authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, convey to such purchaser or such
holder any deposits then held in an Escrow Account relating to the applicable

and under (i) the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
including the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, security agreements and title,

and conditions of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement,

that it has directed, each Seller pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to

Seller or the Depositor to comply with the document delivery requirements of the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and this Section 2.1(b).
-82-
(c) The applicable Seller shall, at the expense of such Seller as to
each of its respective Mortgage Loans, promptly (and in any event within 45 days
following the receipt thereof) cause to be submitted for recording or filing
(except with respect to any Mortgage that has been recorded in the name of MERS
or its designees), as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real
property records or UCC financing statements, as appropriate, each assignment to
the Trustee referred to in clauses (iv), (vi)(B) and (ix)(B) of the definition
of "Mortgage File;" provided, if the related Mortgage and UCC financing
statements have been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, no such
assignments will be required to be submitted for recording or filing and
instead, the applicable Seller has agreed in the applicable Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to take all actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to
be shown as, and the Trustee shall take all actions necessary to confirm that it
is shown as, the owner of the related Mortgage on the records of MERS for
purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of
mortgages maintained by MERS. Each such assignment shall reflect that it should
be returned by the public recording office to the Trustee following recording or
filing; provided that in those instances where the public recording office
retains the original Assignment of Mortgage, assignment of Assignment of Leases
or assignment of UCC financing statements, the applicable Seller shall obtain
therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original. The applicable Seller shall
forward copies thereof to the Trustee and the Special Servicer and, if recorded
in the name of MERS, shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer, within 45 days of the Closing Date, evidence confirming that the
Trustee is shown as the owner on the record of MERS. If any such document or
instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be,
because of a defect therein, the applicable Seller shall, pursuant to the
applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, promptly prepare or cause to be
prepared a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and
thereafter the applicable Seller shall upon receipt thereof cause the same to be
duly recorded or filed, as appropriate. After the applicable Seller has caused
the Trustee to be identified on the records of MERS as the owner of a Mortgage,
it shall be the sole responsibility of the Master Servicer to ensure that
subsequent relevant events relating to the Mortgage (as, for example,
assumptions and partial releases) are promptly and properly registered with MERS
throughout the term of the related Mortgage Loan for so long as the Mortgage
Loan is an asset of the Trust.
The parties acknowledge the obligation of each Seller pursuant to
Section 2 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver to the
Trustee, on or before the fifth Business Day after the Closing Date, five
limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C to
the Primary Servicing Agreement in favor of the Trustee and the Special Servicer
to empower the Trustee and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the
Trustee, the Special Servicer, to submit for recording, at the expense of the
applicable Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be recorded as
described in the preceding paragraph and any intervening assignments with
evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage
Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the
Trustee). The Sellers agree to reasonably cooperate with the Trustee and the
Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or
revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such
recordation. The Trustee and each other party hereto agrees that no such power
of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under
authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a
document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such
Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is 180
days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the related Seller, but
in no event earlier than 18 months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if
-83-
any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The
Trustee shall submit such documents for recording, at the related Seller's
expense, after the periods set forth above; provided, however, the Trustee shall
not submit such assignments for recording if the applicable Seller produces
evidence that it has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that
it is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.
(d) All relevant servicing or loan documents and records in the
possession of the Depositor or the Sellers that relate to the Mortgage Loans,
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans or B Notes and that are not required to be a
part of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof shall be
delivered to the Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer on its behalf, on or
before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date and shall be held by
the Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer on behalf of the Trustee in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders. To the extent delivered to the Master
Servicer or the Primary Servicer by the related Seller, the Servicer Mortgage
File, will include, to the extent required to be (and actually) delivered to the
applicable Seller pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, copies of
the following items: the Mortgage Note, any Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases
and the Assignment of Mortgage, any guaranty/indemnity agreement, any loan
agreement, the insurance policies or certificates (as applicable), the property
inspection reports, any financial statements on the property, any escrow
analysis, the tax bills, the Appraisal, the environmental report, the
engineering report, the asset summary, financial information on the
Mortgagor/sponsor and any guarantors, any letters of credit, any intercreditor
agreement and any Environmental Insurance Policies. Delivery of any of the
foregoing documents to the Primary Servicer (or sub-servicer) shall be deemed
delivery to the Master Servicer and satisfy the Depositor's obligations under
this Section 2.1(d). None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Primary Servicer shall have any liability for the absence of any of the
foregoing items from the Servicing Mortgage File if such item was not delivered
by the related Seller.
(e) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to Section
2.1(a) above, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee on or before the
Closing Date a copy of a fully executed counterpart of each Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect on the Closing Date, which
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements shall contain the representations and
warranties made by the Sellers with respect to each related Mortgage Loan as of
the Closing Date.
(f) In connection herewith, the Depositor has acquired the Principal
Loans from Principal, the Xxxxx Fargo Loans from Xxxxx Fargo, the BSCMI Loans
from BSCMI and the MSMC Loans from MSMC. The Depositor will deliver or cause to
be delivered the original Mortgage Notes (or lost note affidavits with copies of
the related Mortgage Notes, as described in the definition of "Mortgage File")
relating to the Principal Loans to the Trustee, endorsed as otherwise provided
herein, to
-84-
effect the transfer to the Trustee of such Mortgage Notes and all related deeds
of trust, mortgages and other loan documents. The Depositor will deliver or
cause to be delivered the original Mortgage Notes (or lost note affidavits with
copies of the related Mortgage Notes, as described in the definition of
"Mortgage File") relating to the Xxxxx Fargo Loans to the Trustee, endorsed as
otherwise provided herein, to effect the transfer to the Trustee of such
Mortgage Notes and all related deeds of trust, mortgages and other loan
documents. The Depositor will deliver or cause to be delivered the original
Mortgage Notes (or lost note affidavits with copies of the related Mortgage
Notes, as described in the definition of "Mortgage File") relating to the BSCMI
Loans to the Trustee, endorsed as otherwise provided herein, to effect the
transfer to the Trustee of such Mortgage Notes and all related deeds of trust,
mortgages and other loan documents. The Depositor will deliver or cause to be
delivered the original Mortgage Notes (or lost note affidavits with copies of
the related Mortgage Notes, as described in the definition of "Mortgage File")
relating to the MSMC Loans to the Trustee, endorsed as otherwise provided
herein, to effect the transfer to the Trustee of such Mortgage Notes and all
related deeds of trust, mortgages and other loan documents. To avoid the
unnecessary expense and administrative inconvenience associated with the
execution and recording of multiple assignment documents, Principal, Xxxxx
Fargo, BSCMI and MSMC, as applicable, are required under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements to deliver Assignments of Mortgages and assignments of
Assignments of Leases and assignments of UCC financing statements naming the
Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, as assignee. Notwithstanding the
fact that the assignments shall name the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, as the assignee, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that for all purposes the Principal Loans shall be deemed to have been
transferred from Principal to the Depositor, the Xxxxx Fargo Loans shall be
deemed to have been transferred from Xxxxx Fargo to the Depositor, the BSCMI
Loans shall be deemed to have been transferred from BSCMI to the Depositor and
the MSMC Loans shall be deemed to have been transferred from MSMC to the
Depositor, and all Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to have been transferred from
the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.2 ACCEPTANCE BY TRUSTEE. The Trustee will hold (i) the
documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it, (ii) the
REMIC I Regular Interests, and (iii) the REMIC II Regular Interests, in each
case, in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. To the extent that the contents of the Mortgage File for any
A Note relate to the corresponding B Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian on the
Trustee's behalf, will also hold such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of
the holder of the related B Note; provided, that if a B Note remains outstanding
following payment in full of the amounts due under the related A Notes, the
Mortgage Loan documents relating to such A/B Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any
such documents related solely to the A Notes) shall be assigned to the holder of
the B Note or its designee. To the extent that the contents of the Mortgage File
for any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan relate to the corresponding Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, or the Custodian, on the Trustee's behalf,
will also hold such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the holder of the
related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan.
On the Closing Date in respect of the Initial Certification, and
within 75 days after the Closing Date in respect of the Final Certification, the
Trustee shall examine the Mortgage Files in its possession, and shall deliver to
the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Operating Adviser and the holder of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan a
certification (the "Initial Certification" and the "Final Certification",
respectively, in the respective forms set forth as Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2
hereto), which shall be in electronic format (i) in the case of the Initial
Certification, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
except as may be specified in the schedule of exceptions attached thereto, to
the effect that: (A) all documents pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" are in its possession, (B) such documents have been reviewed by
it and have not been materially mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise
physically altered, and such documents relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (C)
each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in clause (i) of the definition
of "Mortgage File", and (ii) in the case of the Final Certification, as to each
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except as may be specified
in the schedule of exceptions attached thereto, to the effect that: (A) (I) all
documents pursuant to clauses (i),
-85-
(ii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii), (x) and (xii) of the definition of "Mortgage
File" required to be included in the Mortgage File (to the extent required to be
delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the Primary Servicing Agreement), and
with respect to all documents specified in the other clauses of the definition
of "Mortgage File" to the extent known by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
to be required pursuant to this Agreement, are in its possession, and (II) for
each Mortgage recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, the Trustee is shown
as the transferee of the related Mortgage on the records of MERS for purposes of
the system maintained by MERS of recording transfers of beneficial ownership for
mortgages, (B) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been
materially mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered,
and such documents relate to such Mortgage Loan, (C) based on its examination
and only as to the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the street address of the
Mortgaged Property set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule respecting such
Mortgage Loan accurately reflects the information contained in the documents in
the Mortgage File, and (D) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the delivery of a commitment to issue a Title Insurance Policy in
lieu of the delivery of the actual Title Insurance Policy shall not be
considered a Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such
actual Title Insurance Policy is delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian on its
behalf not later than the 180th day following the Closing Date.
Within 360 days after the Cut-Off Date, the Trustee shall provide a
confirmation of receipt of recorded assignments of Mortgage (as described in the
definition of "Mortgage File," with evidence of recording thereon) or otherwise
provide evidence of such recordation to the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Operating Adviser and each Seller, and if any recorded assignment
of Mortgage has not been received by the Trustee by such time, the Trustee shall
provide information in such confirmation on the status of missing assignments.
The Trustee agrees to use reasonable efforts to submit for recording any
unrecorded assignments of Mortgage that have been delivered to it (including
effecting such recordation process through or cooperating with the applicable
Seller), such recordation to be at the expense of the applicable Seller;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall not submit for recording any such
assignments if the applicable Seller produces evidence that it has sent any such
assignment for recording and is awaiting its return from the applicable
recording office. In giving the certifications required above, the Trustee shall
be under no obligation or duty to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, securities or other papers to determine whether they or the
signatures thereon are valid, legal, genuine, enforceable, in recordable form or
appropriate for their represented purposes, or that they are other than what
they purport to be on their face, or to determine whether any Mortgage File
should include any assumption agreement, modification agreement, consolidation
agreement, extension agreement, Assignment of Lease, ground lease, UCC financing
statement, guaranty, written assurance, substitution agreement, lock box
agreement, intercreditor agreement, management agreement or letter of credit.
If any exceptions are noted on a schedule of exceptions attached to
the Final Certification, including exceptions resulting from the fact that the
recordation and/or filing has not been completed (based solely on the absence of
receipt by the Custodian (or the Trustee) of the particular documents showing
evidence of the recordation and/or filing), then the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee (or the Trustee) shall continuously update such schedule of exceptions
to reflect receipt of any corrected documents, additional documents or
instruments or evidences of recordation and/or filing, as to each Mortgage Loan,
until the earliest of the following dates: (i) the date on which all such
exceptions are eliminated (any such elimination resulting from the fact
-86-
that recordation and/or filing has been completed shall be based solely on
receipt by the Custodian or the Trustee of the particular documents showing
evidence of the recordation and/or filing), (ii) the date on which all the
affected Mortgage Loans are removed from the Trust and (iii) the second
anniversary of the Closing Date, and shall provide such updated schedule of
exceptions (which may be in electronic format) to each of the Depositor, each
Seller (as to its respective Mortgage Loans only), the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Operating Adviser, the Paying Agent and the holder of any
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan on or about the date that is 180 days after the
Closing Date and then again every 90 days thereafter (until the earliest date
specified above). Upon request, the Paying Agent shall promptly forward a copy
thereof to each Certificateholder in the Controlling Class and shall deliver or
make available a copy thereof to other Certificateholders. Promptly, and in any
event within two Business Days, following any request therefor by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Adviser or the holder
of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan that is made later than two years
following the Closing Date, the Custodian (or the Trustee) shall deliver an
updated schedule of exceptions, which may be in electronic format (to the extent
the prior schedule showed exceptions), to the requesting Person and the Paying
Agent, which shall make available a copy thereof. Upon request, the Master
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the names and addresses of each holder of
a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan of which the Master Servicer has received
notice in accordance with this Agreement and/or the related Loan Pair
Intercreditor Agreement.
The Trustee or its authorized agents shall retain possession and
custody of each Trustee Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein.
SECTION 2.3 SELLERS' REPURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS FOR MATERIAL
DOCUMENT DEFECTS AND MATERIAL BREACHES OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
(a) If any party hereto discovers that any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been delivered as and when
required, has not been properly executed, or is defective on its face or
discovers or receives notice of a breach of any of the representations and
warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans required to be made by a Seller
regarding the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans and/or related Mortgaged
Properties as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, and,
in either case, the party discovering such defect or breach determines that
either (i) the defect or breach materially and adversely affects the interests
of the holders of the Certificates in the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) both (A)
the defect or breach materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage
Loan and (B) the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan (any such defect described in the preceding clause
(i) or (ii), a "Material Document Defect", and such a breach described in the
preceding clause (i) or (ii), a "Material Breach") the party determining that
such Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties hereto and to each Rating Agency subject to
the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Promptly (but in
any event within three Business Days) upon determining (or becoming aware of
another party's determination) that any such Material Document Defect or
Material Breach exists (which determination shall, absent evidence to the
contrary, be presumed to be no earlier than three Business Days prior to the
delivery of the notice referred to below), the Master Servicer shall, and the
Special Servicer may,
-87-
request that the related Seller, not later than 90 days from such Seller's
receipt of the notice of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, cure
such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all
material respects; provided, however, that if such Material Document Defect or
Material Breach, as the case may be, cannot be corrected or cured in all
material respects within such 90-day period, and such Material Document Defect
or Material Breach would not cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a
"qualified mortgage" (as defined in the Code) but the related Seller is
diligently attempting to effect such correction or cure, as certified by such
Seller in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, then the cure
period will be extended for an additional 90 days unless, solely in the case of
a Material Document Defect, (x) the Mortgage Loan is then a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred as a result of a
monetary default or as described in clause (ii) or clause (v) of the definition
of "Servicing Transfer Event" and (y) the Material Document Defect was
identified in a certification delivered to the Seller by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 2.2 not less than 90 days prior to the delivery of the notice of such
Material Document Defect. The parties acknowledge that neither delivery of a
certification or schedule of exceptions to a Seller pursuant to Section 2.2 or
otherwise nor possession of such certification or schedule by the Seller shall,
in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect
or knowledge or awareness by the Seller or any party hereto of any Material
Document Defect listed therein.
If any Material Document Defect or Material Breach that exists cannot
be corrected or cured in all material respects within the above cure periods,
the related Seller will be obligated, not later than the last day of such
permitted cure period, to (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO
Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the applicable Purchase Price in accordance with
the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or (ii) if within the three-month
period commencing on the Closing Date (or within the two-year period commencing
on the Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a "defective obligation"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)), at the related Seller's option, without
recourse (other than the representations and warranties made with respect
thereto), replace such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan. If such Material Document Defect or Material Breach
would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" (as
defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous sentence or the previous
paragraph, the repurchase must occur within 85 days from the date the related
Seller was notified of the defect and substitution must occur within the sooner
of (i) 85 days from the date the related Seller was notified of the defect or
(ii) two years from the Closing Date.
As to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Master
Servicer shall not execute any instrument effecting the substitution unless the
related Seller has delivered to the Trustee for such Qualifying Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related Assignment
of Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section
2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.1, and the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to rely on statements and certifications from the
Trustee for this purpose. No substitution may be made in any calendar month
after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly payments due with respect
to Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not
be part of the Trust and will be retained by Master Servicer and remitted by the
Master Servicer to the related Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date.
For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include
the Scheduled
-88-
Payment due on the related Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter
the related Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect
of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage
Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the
substitution of the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and upon such
amendment the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered such
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Special
Servicer. Upon such substitution, the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects. Upon
receipt of the Trustee Mortgage File pertaining to any Qualifying Substitute
Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall release the Trustee Mortgage File relating to
such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related Seller, and the Trustee (and the
Depositor, if necessary) shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or assignment in the form presented to it, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest title (provided,
however, if applicable, the Master Servicer will take all necessary action to
register the transfer of ownership of the Mortgage related to such Deleted
Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS) (to the extent that such title was
transferred to the Trustee or the Depositor) in the related Seller or its
designee to any Deleted Mortgage Loan (including any property acquired in
respect thereof or any insurance policy proceeds relating thereto) substituted
for pursuant to this Section 2.3.
If (x) a Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as
contemplated above (a "Defective Mortgage Loan"), (y) such Defective Mortgage
Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with one or more other Mortgage
Loans ("Crossed Mortgage Loans") and (z) the applicable document defect or
breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the
case may be, as to such Crossed Mortgage Loans (without regard to this
paragraph), then the applicable document defect or breach (as the case may be)
shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as
the case may be) as to each such Crossed Mortgage Loan for purposes of the above
provisions, and the related Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or replace
each such Crossed Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless,
in the case of such breach or document defect, the Seller (A) provides a
Nondisqualification Opinion to the Trustee at the expense of the Seller and (B)
both of the following conditions would be satisfied if the related Seller were
to repurchase or replace only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Breach
or Material Document Defect had occurred without regard to this paragraph (the
"Affected Loan(s)"): (i) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all such other
Mortgage Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters
immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the lesser
of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for all such other Mortgage
Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Appendix II to the Final
Prospectus Supplement and (B) the debt service coverage ratio for all such
Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding
calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement, and (ii) the
Loan-to-Value Ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (excluding the Affected
Loan(s)) is not greater than the greater of (A) the loan-to-value ratio,
expressed as a whole number (taken to one decimal place), for all such Crossed
Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Appendix II to the
Final Prospectus Supplement plus 10% and (B) the loan-to-value ratio for all
such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)), at the time of
repurchase or replacement. The determination of the Master Servicer as to
whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive
and binding in the absence of manifest error. The Master Servicer will be
entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the related Seller to (in which
-89-
case the related Seller shall) cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer, an
Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of
determining whether the condition set forth in clause (ii) above has been
satisfied, in each case at the expense of the related Seller if the scope and
cost of the Appraisal is approved by the related Seller (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld).
With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan, to the extent that the
applicable Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for such Defective
Mortgage Loan (each, a "Repurchased Loan") in the manner prescribed above while
the Trustee continues to hold any Crossed Mortgage Loan, the applicable Seller
and the Depositor have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other's Primary Collateral but
each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing
its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the
Primary Collateral securing Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as
such exercise does not impair the ability of the other party to exercise its
remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of remedies by one
party would impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with
respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans
held by such party, then both parties have agreed to forbear from exercising
such remedies until the loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant
Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the applicable
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result
of the exercise of remedies. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of
credit securing the Crossed Mortgage Loans shall be allocated between such
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a
pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Principal Balances. All other terms
of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any
modification thereof. The Mortgagors set forth on Schedule VIII hereto are
intended third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this paragraph
and the preceding paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph and the preceding
paragraph may not be modified with respect to any Mortgage Loan without the
related Mortgagor's consent.
Any of the following document defects shall be conclusively presumed
materially and adversely to affect the interests of Certificateholders in a
Mortgage Loan and be a Material Document Defect: (a) the absence from the
Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File
contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity that appears to be regular
on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed
Mortgage (or with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a copy thereof)
that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage
File a certified copy of the Mortgage by the local authority with which the
Mortgage was recorded; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called
for by paragraph (viii) of the definition of "Mortgage File" (or with respect to
any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a copy thereof) or (d) the absence from the
Mortgage File of the item called for by paragraph (xii) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" (or with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a copy
thereof). If any of the foregoing Material Document Defects is discovered by the
Custodian (or the Trustee if there is no Custodian), the Trustee (or as set
forth in Section 2.3(a), the Master Servicer) will take the steps described
elsewhere in this section, including the giving of notices to the Rating
Agencies, the parties hereto and, to the extent any Material Document Defect
relates to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, and making demand upon the related Seller for
the cure of the document defect or repurchase or replacement of the related
Mortgage Loan.
-90-
If the related Seller disputes that a Material Document Defect or
Material Breach exists with respect to a Mortgage Loan or otherwise refuses (i)
to effect a correction or cure of such Material Document Defect or Material
Breach, (ii) to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from the Trust or (iii) to
replace such Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, each in
accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then provided that
(x) the period of time provided for the related Seller to correct, repurchase or
cure has expired and (y) the Mortgage Loan is then in default and is then a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer may, subject to the
Servicing Standard, modify, workout or foreclose, sell or otherwise liquidate
(or permit the liquidation of) the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 9.5,
Section 9.12, Section 9.15 and Section 9.36, as applicable, hereof, while
pursuing the repurchase claim. The related Seller has acknowledged and agreed
under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that any modification of the
Mortgage Loan pursuant to a workout shall not constitute a defense to any
repurchase claim nor shall such modification and workout change the Purchase
Price due from the related Seller for any repurchase claim. In the event of any
such modification and workout, the related Seller has agreed under the related
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase the Mortgage Loan as modified and
that the Purchase Price shall include any Work-Out Fee paid to the Special
Servicer up to the date of repurchase plus the present value (calculated at a
discount rate equal to the applicable Mortgage Rate) of the Work-Out Fee that
would have been payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Mortgage Loan
if the Mortgage Loan performed in accordance with its terms to its Maturity
Date, provided that no amount shall be paid by the related Seller in respect of
any Work-Out Fee if a Liquidation Fee already comprises (or will comprise) a
portion of the Purchase Price. The related Seller shall be notified promptly and
in writing by (i) the Trustee of any notice that it receives that an Option
Holder intends to exercise its Option to purchase the Mortgage Loan in
accordance with and as described in Section 9.36 hereof and (ii) the Special
Servicer of any offer that it receives to purchase the applicable REO Property,
each in connection with such liquidation. Upon the receipt of such notice by the
related Seller, the related Seller shall then have the right to purchase the
related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, as applicable, from the Trust at a
purchase price equal to, in the case of clause (i) of the immediately preceding
sentence, the Option Purchase Price or, in the case of clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence, the amount of such offer. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in the related Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the right of any Option Holder to purchase such Mortgage
Loan shall be subject and subordinate to the Seller's right to purchase such
Mortgage Loan as described in the immediately preceding sentence. The related
Seller shall have five (5) Business Days to notify the Trustee or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, of its intent to so purchase the Mortgage Loan or
related REO Property from the date that it was notified of such intention to
exercise such Option or of such offer. The Special Servicer shall be obligated
to provide the related Seller with any appraisal or other third party reports
relating to the Mortgaged Property within its possession to enable the related
Seller to evaluate the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property. Any sale of the
related Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure upon such Mortgage Loan and sale of the
related REO Property, to a Person other than the related Seller shall be without
(i) recourse of any kind (either expressed or implied) by such Person against
the related Seller and (ii) representation or warranty of any kind (either
expressed or implied) by the related Seller to or for the benefit of such
Person.
The fact that a Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not
discovered until after foreclosure (but in all instances prior to the sale of
the related REO Property or Mortgage Loan) shall not prejudice any claim against
the Seller for repurchase of the REO
-91-
Mortgage Loan or REO Property. In such an event, the Master Servicer shall
notify the related Seller of the discovery of the Material Document Defect or
Material Breach and the related Seller shall have 90 days to correct or cure
such Material Document Defect or Material Breach or purchase the REO Property at
the Purchase Price. If the related Seller fails to correct or cure the Material
Document Defect or Material Breach or purchase the REO Property, then the
provisions above regarding notice of offers related to such REO Property and the
related Seller's right to purchase such REO Property shall apply. After a final
liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, if a court of competent
jurisdiction issues a final order after the expiration of any applicable appeal
period that the related Seller is or was obligated to repurchase the related
Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan (a "Final Judicial Determination") or the
related Seller otherwise accepts liability, then, but in no event later than the
termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.30 hereof, the related Seller
will be obligated to pay to the Trust the difference between any Liquidation
Proceeds received upon such liquidation (including those arising from any sale
to the related Seller) and the Purchase Price.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
connection with any sale or other liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or REO Property
as described in this Section 2.3, the Special Servicer shall not receive a
Liquidation Fee from the applicable Seller (but may collect such Liquidation Fee
from the related Liquidation Proceeds as otherwise provided herein); provided,
however, that in the event the applicable Seller is obligated to repurchase the
Mortgage Loan or REO Property after a final liquidation of such Mortgage Loan or
REO Property pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, an amount equal to
any Liquidation Fee (calculated on the basis of Liquidation Proceeds) payable to
the Special Servicer shall be included in the definition of "Purchase Price" in
respect of such Mortgage Loan or REO Property. Except as expressly set forth
above, no Liquidation Fee shall be payable in connection with a repurchase of a
Mortgage Loan by a Seller.
In any month in which the related Seller substitutes one or more
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate
Principal Balance of all such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the
date of substitution is less than the aggregate Principal Balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of scheduled principal
portion of the monthly payments received in the month of substitution). The
Depositor shall cause the related Seller to deposit the amount of such shortage
into the Certificate Account in the month of substitution, without any
reimbursement thereof. In addition, the Depositor shall cause the related Seller
to deposit into the Certificate Account, together with such shortage, if any, an
amount equal to interest on the Deleted Mortgage Loans at a rate equal to the
sum of the applicable Mortgage Rate from the Due Date as to which interest was
last paid up to the Due Date next succeeding such substitution together with the
amount of unreimbursed Servicing Advances, amounts required to be paid to the
Special Servicer but remaining unpaid or unreimbursed, and interest on
unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans at the Advance
Rate. The Depositor shall cause the related Seller, in the case of the Mortgage
Loans, to give notice in writing (accompanied by an Officer's Certificate as to
the calculation of such shortage) to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Master Servicer of such event which notice shall be accompanied by an Officer's
Certificate as to the calculation of such shortfall.
-92-
If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Master
Servicer shall designate the Certificate Account as the account to which funds
in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. Any such purchase of a
Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.
(b) In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a
Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.3, the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the related Seller, upon delivery
to each of them of a receipt executed by such Seller, all portions of the
Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by
it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be
endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the related
Seller or its designee in the same manner, and pursuant to appropriate forms of
assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which
documents were previously assigned to the Trustee, but in any event, without
recourse, representation or warranty; provided that such tender by the Trustee
shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for
Release. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by
the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, the endorsements and
assignments contemplated by this Section 2.3, and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so.
The Master Servicer shall, and is also hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee to, reconvey to the related Seller any deposits then held in an Escrow
Account relating to the Mortgage Loan being repurchased or substituted for. The
Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for all costs, liabilities and
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the Trustee in connection with
any negligent or intentional misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master
Servicer.
(c) The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provide the sole remedies
available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, respecting any Material Document Defect or Material Breach.
The parties hereunder understand that (i) Principal, as Seller under Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement III, will be providing the remedies with respect to the
Principal Loans, (ii) Xxxxx Fargo, as Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement II, will be providing the remedies with respect to the Xxxxx Fargo
Loans, (iii) BSCMI, as Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement I, will be
providing the remedies with respect to the BSCMI Loans and (iv) MSMC, as Seller
under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement IV, will be providing the remedies with
respect to the MSMC Loans.
(d) The Trustee or its designee (which, with the Master Servicer's
consent, may be the Master Servicer or which, with the Special Servicer's
consent, may be the Special Servicer) shall enforce the provisions of this
Section 2.3.

Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and the Certificate
Registrar shall maintain books for the registration and for the transfer of
Certificates (the "Certificate Register"). The Certificate Registrar may resign
or be discharged or removed by the Paying Agent or the Certificateholders, and a
new successor may be appointed, in accordance with the procedures and
requirements set forth in Sections 7.6 and 7.7 hereof with respect to the
resignation, discharge or removal of the Paying Agent and the appointment of a
successor Paying Agent. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written
instrument delivered to the Holders and the Trustee, any trust company to act as
co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe;
provided that the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.
SECTION 3.3 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) A Certificate may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office,
duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed
by such Holder or such Holder's duly authorized attorney in such form as shall
be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any
Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, and subject to the
restrictions set forth in the other subsections of this Section 3.3, the
Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the
same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate initial
Certificate Balance, initial Notional Amount or Percentage Interest, as the case
may be, as the Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to
a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
or transfer of Certificates. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept any
request for a registration of transfer of any Certificate during the period
beginning five calendar days prior to any Distribution Date.
(b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any
number of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations,
representing in the aggregate the same initial Certificate Balance, initial
Notional Amount or Percentage Interest, as the case may be, as the Certificate
surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the offices of
the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument
of exchange duly executed by such Holder or such Holder's duly authorized
attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar.
Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same
obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the
Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder
for any
-96-
exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which
the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(c) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any
Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration
and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and
such state securities laws. If a transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate held
as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the
Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the
Certificates or a transfer of such Non-Registered Certificate by the Depositor
or one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to
register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively
rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 hereto
and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective Transferee
substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A hereto or as Exhibit
D-2B hereto; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar to the effect that such transfer shall be made without registration
under the Securities Act, together with the written certification(s) as to the
facts surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect
such transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective Transferee on which
such Opinion of Counsel is based (such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their
respective capacities as such). If a transfer of any interest in a
Non-Registered Certificate that constitutes a Book-Entry Certificate is to be
made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection
with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer of any interest in
such Non-Registered Certificate by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates), then
the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such transfer shall be required to
obtain either (i) a certificate from such Certificate Owner's prospective
Transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-3A hereto or as
Exhibit D-3B hereto, or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. None of the
Depositor, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agent, the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or
qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this
Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate. Any Certificateholder or
Certificate Owner desiring to effect a transfer of Non-Registered Certificates
or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor,
each Underwriter, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration
or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(d) No transfer of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate or Residual
Certificate or any interest therein shall be made (A) to any employee benefit
plan or other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement accounts
and annuities, Xxxxx plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts
in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, including, without
limitation, insurance company general accounts, that is subject to Title I of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable federal, state or local law
-97-
("Similar Laws") materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the
Code (each, a "Plan"), (B) in book-entry form to an Institutional Accredited
Investor who is not also a Qualified Institutional Buyer or (C) to any Person
who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on
behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with "plan assets" of a
Plan, unless: (i) in the case of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate that
constitutes a Book-Entry Certificate and is being sold to a Qualified
Institutional Buyer, the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest
therein qualifies for the exemptive relief available under Sections I and III of
U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60;
or (ii) in the case of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate held as a Definitive
Certificate, the prospective Transferee provides the Certificate Registrar with
a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the
satisfaction of the Certificate Registrar that such transfer will not constitute
or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code or subject the Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Paying Agent, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Certificate Registrar to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this
Agreement. Each Person who acquires any Non-Investment Grade Certificate or
Residual Certificate or interest therein (unless it shall have acquired such
Certificate or interest therein from the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof or
unless it shall have delivered to the Certificate Registrar the certification of
facts and Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding
sentence) shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar (or, in the
case of an interest in a Non-Investment Grade Certificate that constitutes a
Book-Entry Certificate, to the Certificate Owner that is transferring such
interest) a certification to the effect that: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any
Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest
therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with "plan
assets" of a Plan; or (ii) that, in the case of a Non-Investment Grade
Certificate, the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by
such person qualifies for the exemptive relief available under Sections I and
III of PTCE 95-60 or another exemption from the "prohibited transactions" rules
under ERISA by the U.S. Department of Labor or similar exemption under Similar
Laws.
(e) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably authorized the Paying Agent under clause (F) below to deliver
payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably authorized
the Certificate Registrar under clause (G) below to negotiate the terms of any
mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other
things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of such person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject
to the following provisions:
(A) (1) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and a United
States Tax Person and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar
of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee and (2) each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Qualified Institutional
Buyer and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any
change or impending change in its status as a Qualified Institutional
Buyer.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall
require delivery to
-98-
it, and no Transfer of any Residual Certificate shall be registered
until the Certificate Registrar receives, an affidavit and agreement
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 (a "Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement") from the proposed Transferee, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and
warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted
Transferee, that it is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, that it is not
acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is
the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent
for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as
it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will
endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, that it is a United States
Tax Person, that if such Transferee is a partnership, trust or
disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then each
Person that may be allocated income from a Residual Certificate is a
United States Tax Person, that it is not a foreign permanent
establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable
income tax treaty, of any United States Tax Person, that it has
historically paid its debts as they have come due and will continue to
do so in the future, that it understands that its tax liability with
respect to the Residual Certificates may exceed cash flows thereon and
it intends to pay such taxes as they come due, that it will not cause
income with respect to the Residual Certificates to be attributable to
a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of
any applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed Transferee or any
other United States Tax Person, that it will provide the Certificate
Registrar with all information necessary to determine that the
applicable paragraphs of Section 13 of such Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement are true or that Section 13 is not applicable, and that it
has reviewed the provisions of this Section 3.3(e) and agrees to be
bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the
Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or is not a United States Tax
Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person
attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Residual
Certificate and (2) not to transfer its Ownership Interest in such
Residual Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a
certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2
among other things stating that (x) it has conducted a reasonable
investigation of the financial condition of the proposed Transferee
and, as a result of the investigation, the Transferor determines that
the proposed Transferee had historically paid its debts as they came
due and found no significant evidence that the proposed Transferee
will not continue to pay its debts as they come due in the future and,
(y) it has no actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not
a Permitted Transferee, is not a United States Tax Person, is a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of
any applicable income tax treaty, of any United States Tax Person or
is a Person with respect to which
-99-
income on the Residual Certificate is attributable to a foreign
permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any
applicable income tax treaty.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate that is a "pass-through interest holder" within
the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulation Section
1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate on behalf of a "pass-through interest holder", by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give
the Certificate Registrar written notice of its status as such
immediately upon holding or acquiring such Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate.
(F) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
3.3(e) or if any Holder of a Residual Certificate shall lose its
status as a Permitted Transferee or a United States Tax Person, then
the last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate that was in
compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.3(e) shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and
obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. None of the Trustee,
the Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent shall be under any liability
to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.3(e) or
for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof
or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement.
(G) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
3.3(e), or if any Holder of a Residual Certificate shall lose its
status as a Permitted Transferee or a United States Tax Person, and to
the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights and
obligations of the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate as
described in clause (F) above shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, then the Trustee shall have the right, without notice
to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, but
not the obligation, to sell or cause to be sold such Residual
Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trustee on such terms as
the Trustee may choose. Such noncomplying Holder shall promptly
endorse and deliver such Residual Certificate in accordance with the
instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may be the
Certificate Registrar itself or any Affiliate of the Certificate
Registrar. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which
may include commissions payable to the Certificate Registrar or its
Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the
Certificate Registrar to such noncomplying Holder. The terms and
conditions of any sale under this clause (G) shall be determined in
the sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate
Registrar shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
-100-
The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Paying Agent, shall make available, upon
written request from the Paying Agent, to the Internal Revenue Service and those
Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all information necessary to compute
any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, including
the information described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess inclusions" of such Residual
Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate
investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization
described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person
which is not a Permitted Transferee. The Person holding such Ownership Interest
shall be responsible for the reasonable compensation of the Master Servicer and
the Paying Agent for providing such information.
The provisions of this Section 3.3(e) may be modified, added to or
eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee, the
Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Operating
Adviser and the Depositor the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect
that the modification of, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to qualify, downgrade or
withdraw its then current rating of any Class of Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, to the
effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to (x)
cease to qualify as a REMIC or (y) be subject to an entity-level tax
caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person which
is not a Permitted Transferee, or cause a Person other than the
prospective Transferee to be subject to a tax caused by the Transfer
of a Residual Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(f) None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee,
the Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar shall have any
liability to the Trust arising from a transfer of any Certificate in reliance
upon a certification, ruling or Opinion of Counsel described in this Section
3.3; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not register the
transfer of a Residual Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the proposed
transferee does not meet the qualifications of a permitted Holder of a Residual
Certificate as set forth in Section 3.3(e); provided, further, that the
Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Noneconomic Residual
Interest if it shall have received notice that the Transferor has determined, as
a result of the investigation under Section 3.3(e)(D), that the proposed
Transferee has not paid its debts as they came due or that it will not pay its
debts as they come due in the future. The Certificate Registrar shall have no
obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any
restriction on transfer or exchange of Certificates or any interest therein
imposed under this Article III or under applicable law other than to require
delivery of the certifications and/or opinions described in this Article III;
provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not register the
transfer of a Residual Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the proposed
transferee does not meet the qualifications of a permitted Holder of a Residual
Certificate as set forth in Section 3.3(e). The Certificate Registrar shall have
no
-101-
liability for transfers (including without limitation transfers made through the
book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among Participants or
Certificate Owners) made in violation of applicable restrictions, provided that
the Certificate Registrar has satisfied its duties expressly set forth in
Sections 3.3(c), 3.3(d) and 3.3(e).
(g) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
physically cancelled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar
shall hold such cancelled Certificates in accordance with its standard
procedures.
(h) The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the Depositor, upon written request, with an updated copy
of the Certificate Register within a reasonable period of time following receipt
of such request.
(i) Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for the individual
Certificates represented thereby, a Global Certificate representing all of the
Certificates of a Class may not be transferred, except as a whole by the
Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to
the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any
such nominee to a successor Clearing Agency or a nominee of such successor
Clearing Agency, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be
registered; provided that this subsection (i) shall not prohibit any transfer of
a Certificate of a Class that is issued in exchange for a Global Certificate of
the same Class pursuant to Section 3.9 below. Nothing in this subsection (i)
shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a
Global Certificate effected in accordance with the other provisions of this
Section 3.3.
SECTION 3.4 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES. If (A)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate and (B) except in the case of a mutilated
Certificate so surrendered, there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such
security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, and
the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust. In connection with the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.4, the Certificate
Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar)
connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
3.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the
Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 3.5 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee, the Operating Adviser, the Paying Agent
and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent,
the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Operating Adviser may treat the Person in
whose name any Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided
in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee, the Paying Agent,
the Operating Adviser nor any agent of
-102-
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent or the Operating Adviser shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
SECTION 3.6 ACCESS TO LIST OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS' NAMES AND ADDRESSES.
If three or more Certificateholders, a Certificateholder holding all
the Certificates of any Class of Certificates, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Trustee, the Operating Adviser or the Depositor
(A) request in writing from the Certificate Registrar a list of the names and
addresses of Certificateholders and (B) in the case of a request by
Certificateholders, state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate
with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or under the Certificates, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within ten
Business Days after the receipt of such request, afford such Certificateholders,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Paying Agent, the
Trustee or the Operating Adviser, as applicable, access during normal business
hours to a current list of the Certificateholders. The expense of providing any
such information requested by such Person shall be borne by the party requesting
such information and shall not be borne by the Certificate Registrar or the
Trustee. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees
that the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the
Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
SECTION 3.7 BOOK-ENTRY CERTIFICATES.
(a) The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class
A-5, Class A-J, Class X-1, Class X-2, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class
F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class O and
Class P Certificates, upon original issuance, each shall be issued in the form
of one or more Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be
delivered to the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for The Depository Trust
Company (the "Depository"), the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of,
the Depositor, provided, that any Non-Investment Grade Certificates sold to
Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers
will be issued as Definitive Certificates. The Certificates shall initially be
registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of
the Depository, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will
receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest
in the Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.9. Unless and until
Definitive Certificates have been issued to the Certificate Owners pursuant to
Section 3.9:
(i) the provisions of this Section 3.7 shall be in full force and
effect with respect to each such Class;
(ii) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent, the
Certificate Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all
purposes (including the making of distributions on the Certificates) as the
authorized representative of the Certificate Owners;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.7
conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this
Section 3.7 shall control with respect to each such Class; and
-103-
(iv) the rights of the Certificate Owners of each such Class
shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the applicable
Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Participants.
Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Certificates are issued
pursuant to Section 3.9, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry
transfers among the Participants and receive and transmit distributions of
principal and interest on the related Certificates to such Participants.
(b) For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or
permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of the
Certificates evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by the Clearing
Agency at the direction of Certificate Owners owning Certificates evidencing the
requisite percentage of principal amount of Certificates. The Clearing Agency
may take conflicting actions with respect to the Certificates to the extent that
such actions are taken on behalf of the Certificate Owners.
(c) The Certificates of each Class (other than the Residual
Certificates) initially sold in reliance on Rule 144A or with respect to the
Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates sold to Institutional
Accredited Investors shall be represented by the Rule 144A-IAI Global
Certificate for such Class, which shall be deposited with the Certificate
Registrar, as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede &
Co. as nominee of the Depository. The Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class
N, Class O and Class P Certificates initially sold to Institutional Accredited
Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers shall be represented by
IAI Definitive Certificates for such Class. The Certificates evidenced by any
Rule 144A-IAI Global Certificate or IAI Definitive Certificate shall be subject
to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof and shall
bear legend(s) regarding such restrictions described herein.
(d) The Certificates of each Class (other than the Residual
Certificates) initially sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation
S shall be represented by the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate for such
Class, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for
the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the
Depository. Not earlier than the Release Date, beneficial interests in any
Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall be exchangeable for beneficial
interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate for such Class.
Beneficial interests in any Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate may be
held only through Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank; provided, however, that
such interests may be exchanged for interests in the Rule 144A-IAI Global
Certificate for such Class in accordance with the certification requirements
described in Section 3.7(f). The Regulation S Permanent Global Certificates
shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the
Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the
Depository.
On or prior to the Release Date and on or prior to any Distribution
Date occurring prior to the Release Date, each Certificate Owner of a Regulation
S Temporary Global Certificate that holds a beneficial interest therein on the
Release Date or on any such Distribution Date, as the case may be, must deliver
to Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank (as applicable) a Regulation S
Certificate; provided, however, that any Certificate Owner that holds a
beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate on the
Release Date or on any such
-104-
Distribution Date that has previously delivered a Regulation S Certificate to
Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank with respect to its interest therein does not
need to deliver any subsequent Regulation S Certificate (unless the certificate
previously delivered is no longer true as of such subsequent date, and such
Certificate Owner must promptly notify Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank, as
applicable, thereof). Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank, as applicable, shall
be required to promptly deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto to the effect that it has received
the requisite Regulation S Certificates for each such Class, and no Certificate
Owner (or transferee from any such Certificate Owner) shall be entitled to
receive an interest in the Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate for such
Class or any payment or principal or interest with respect to its interest in
such Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate prior to the Certificate
Registrar receiving such certification from Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank
with respect to the portion of the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate
owned by such Certificate Owner (and, with respect to an interest in the
applicable Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate, prior to the Release
Date). After the Release Date, distributions due with respect to any beneficial
interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall not be made to the
holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest
in the related Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate is improperly withheld
or refused. No interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate may be held by or
transferred to a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) except for exchanges
for a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A-IAI Global Certificate for such Class
as described in Section 3.7(f).
(e) Except in the limited circumstances described below in Section
3.9, owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates shall not be entitled
to receive physical delivery of Definitive Certificates. The Certificates are
not issuable in bearer form. Upon the issuance of each Global Certificate, the
Depository or its custodian shall credit, on its internal system, the respective
principal amount of the individual beneficial interests represented by such
Global Certificate to the accounts of Persons who have accounts with such
Depository. Such accounts initially shall be designated by or on behalf of the
Underwriters and Placement Agents. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global
Certificate shall be limited to Customers or Persons who hold interests directly
or indirectly through Customers. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global
Certificates shall be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership shall be
effected only through, records maintained by the Depository or its nominee (with
respect to interests of Customers) and the records of Customers (with respect to
interests of Persons other than Customers).
So long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered holder of
a Global Certificate, the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, shall
be considered the sole owner and holder of the Certificates represented by such
Global Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement and the Certificates,
including, without limitation, obtaining consents and waivers thereunder, and
the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary. Except under the circumstance described
in Section 3.9, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Certificate will not
be entitled to have any portions of such Global Certificate registered in their
names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of
Definitive Certificates in certificated form and shall not be considered the
owners or holders of the Global Certificate (or any Certificates represented
thereby) under this Agreement or the Certificates. In addition, no Certificate
Owner of an interest in a Global Certificate shall be able to transfer that
interest except in accordance with the Depository's
-105-
applicable procedures (in addition to those under this Agreement and, if
applicable, those of Euroclear Bank and Clearstream Bank).
(f) Any holder of an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate
shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Certificate Registrar,
Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank, as applicable, and the Depository, in the
form of an Exchange Certification (substantially in the form of Exhibit H
attached hereto), to exchange all or a portion of such interest (in authorized
denominations as set forth in Section 3.1(b)) for an equivalent interest in the
Rule 144A-IAI Global Certificate for such Class in connection with a transfer of
its interest therein to a transferee that is eligible to hold an interest in
such Rule 144A-IAI Global Certificate as described herein; provided, however,
that no Exchange Certification shall be required if any such exchange occurs
after the Release Date. Any holder of an interest in the Rule 144A-IAI Global
Certificate shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Certificate
Registrar, the Depository and Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank, as applicable,
in the form of an Exchange Certification, to exchange all or a portion of such
interest (in authorized denominations as set forth in Section 3.1(b)) for an
equivalent interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for such Class in
connection with a transfer of its interest therein to a transferee that is
eligible to hold an interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate as
described herein; provided, however, that if such exchange occurs prior to the
Release Date, the transferee shall acquire an interest in a Regulation S
Temporary Global Certificate only and shall be subject to all of the
restrictions associated therewith described in Section 3.7(d). Following receipt
of any Exchange Certification or request for transfer, as applicable, by the
Certificate Registrar: (i) the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the schedule
to any Global Certificate representing the Certificate or Certificates being
exchanged to reduce the stated principal amount of such Global Certificate by
the denominations of the Certificate or Certificates for which such exchange is
to be made, and (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the schedule to any
Global Certificate representing the Certificate or Certificates for which such
exchange is to be made to increase the stated principal amount of such Global
Certificate by the denominations of the Certificate or Certificates being
exchanged therefor. The form of the Exchange Certification shall be available
from the Certificate Registrar.
SECTION 3.8 NOTICES TO CLEARING AGENCY. Whenever notice or other
communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless
and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.9, the Paying Agent shall give all such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the
Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency which shall give such notices and
communications to the related Participants in accordance with its applicable
rules, regulations and procedures.
SECTION 3.9 DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES.
(a) Definitive Certificates will be issued to the owners of beneficial
interests in a Global Certificate or their nominees if (i) the Clearing Agency
notifies the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar in writing that the
Clearing Agency is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global
Certificate and a qualifying successor depositary is not appointed by the
Depositor within 90 days thereof, (ii) the Trustee has instituted or caused to
be instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a
court to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement and
under such Global Certificate and the Trustee has
-106-
been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary
or advisable for the Trustee or its custodian to obtain possession of such
Global Certificate, or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Certificate Owners representing a majority in aggregate outstanding Certificate
Balance of such Global Certificate advise the Clearing Agency through the
Participants in writing (and the Clearing Agency so advises the Depositor, the
Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer in writing) that the continuation
in global form of the Certificates being evidenced by such Global Certificate is
no longer in their best interests; provided, that under no circumstances will
Definitive Certificates be issued to Certificate Owners of the Regulation S
Temporary Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events
described in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the
Clearing Agency and request the Clearing Agency to notify all Certificate
Owners, through the applicable Participants, of the occurrence of the event and
of the availability of Definitive Certificates to such Certificate Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Global
Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions
from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Certificate Registrar shall
execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the
Definitive Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent,
the Certificate Registrar or the Fiscal Agent shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the extent applicable with respect to
such Definitive Certificates, and the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee and
the Paying Agent shall recognize the Holders of Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
(b) Distributions of principal and interest on the Definitive
Certificates shall be made by the Paying Agent directly to holders of Definitive
Certificates in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
ADVANCES
P&I Advances and Servicing Advances shall be made as provided herein
by the Master Servicer and, if the Master Servicer does not make such Advances,
by the Trustee, and if the Trustee does not make such Advances, by the Fiscal
Agent except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent, as applicable, determines in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any
such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
SECTION 4.1 P&I ADVANCES BY MASTER SERVICER.
(a) On or prior to the Advance Report Date, the Master Servicer shall
notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent if the P&I Advance Amount for such
Distribution Date is greater than zero, and the Master Servicer shall make a P&I
Advance in respect of each Mortgage Loan of such amount no later than the Master
Servicer Remittance Date. It is understood that the obligation of the Master
Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory and shall apply through any
court appointed stay period or similar payment delay resulting from any
insolvency of the Mortgagor or related bankruptcy, notwithstanding any other
provision of
-107-
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be
required to make such P&I Advance, if the Master Servicer determines, in
accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such P&I Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance and shall not make such P&I Advance if such P&I Advance
if made would be a Nonrecoverable Advance as determined by the Special Servicer
in accordance with the Servicing Standard, in which event the Special Servicer
shall promptly direct the Master Servicer not to make such P&I Advance. Such
determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent
and the Certificateholders. The Special Servicer shall not make P&I Advances
under this Agreement. If the Master Servicer fails to make a P&I Advance that it
is required to make under this Section 4.1, it shall promptly notify the Trustee
and the Paying Agent of such failure.
(b) If the Master Servicer determines that there is a P&I Advance
Amount for a Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall on the related Master
Servicer Remittance Date either (A) deposit in the Certificate Account an amount
equal to the P&I Advance Amount or (B) utilize funds in the Certificate Account
being held for future distributions or withdrawals to make such Advance. Any
funds being held in the Certificate Account for future distribution or
withdrawal and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer from its own
funds by deposit in the Certificate Account on or before any future Master
Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on
such Master Servicer Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Paying
Agent or other Persons required to be made on such date.
SECTION 4.1A P&I ADVANCES WITH RESPECT TO NON-SERVICED MORTGAGE LOANS
AND SERVICED PARI PASSU MORTGAGE LOANS.
With respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Pari
Passu Mortgage Loans (the "P&I Pari Passu Loans"), the Master Servicer shall
make its determination that a P&I Advance previously made on any P&I Pari Passu
Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made,
would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such P&I Pari Passu
Loan in accordance with Section 4.1 independently of any determination made by
any Other Master Servicer under the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and
Servicing Agreement in respect of any P&I Pari Passu Loan following deposit of
the Non-Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans
into a commercial mortgage securitization trust, and the Other Master Servicer
shall make its own determination that it has made a P&I Advance that is a
Nonrecoverable Advance (both as defined in the related Other Companion Loan
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made,
would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (both as defined in the related Other
Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) with respect to the Non-Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loans or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans, as applicable, in
accordance with the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The determination by either the Master Servicer or the Other Master
Servicer made on the earlier of (i) the Advance Report Date and (ii) the Other
Advance Report Date that any such P&I Advance is nonrecoverable shall be binding
on the Other Master Servicer and the Master Servicer, as applicable, the
Certificateholders and the holders of any securities relating to the
Non-Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans, as
applicable.
The Master Servicer shall not make a P&I Advance with respect to any
P&I Pari Passu Loan after its receipt of notice from the related Other Master
Servicer that it has determined that it has made a P&I Advance that is a
Nonrecoverable Advance on the Non-
-108-
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans, as
applicable, or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to the relevant Other Companion Loan Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer determines that a P&I Advance would
be (if made), or any outstanding P&I Advance previously made is, a
Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide the Other Master
Servicer written notice of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives
written notice by the Other Master Servicer that it has determined, with respect
to any Mortgage Loan, that any proposed future P&I Advance would be, or any
outstanding P&I Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall
not make any additional P&I Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan unless
the Master Servicer has consulted with the Other Master Servicer and they both
agree that circumstances with respect to such Mortgage Loan have changed such
that a proposed future P&I Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue to have the
discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance
or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable
Advance. Once such a determination is made by the Master Servicer or the Master
Servicer receives written notice of such determination by the Other Master
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall follow the process set forth in this
paragraph before making any additional P&I Advances with respect to such
Mortgage Loan.
Following a securitization of a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer shall be required to deliver to the related Other Master
Servicer the following information: (i) any loan related information (in the
form received), including without limitation CMSA Reports relating to the
related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, applicable to a determination that an
Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, within one Business Day of the
Master Servicer's receipt thereof, (ii) notice of any Servicing Advance it, the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent makes with respect to the related Serviced Pari
Passu Mortgage Loan within one Business Day of the making of such Advance and
(iii) notice of any determination that any Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable
Advance within one Business Day thereof.
SECTION 4.2 SERVICING ADVANCES. The Master Servicer and, if the Master
Servicer does not, the Trustee to the extent the Trustee receives written notice
from the Paying Agent that such Advance has not been made by the Master
Servicer, and if the Trustee does not, the Fiscal Agent (if the Fiscal Agent has
knowledge that such Advance is required to be made), shall make Servicing
Advances to the extent provided in this Agreement, except to the extent that the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, determines in
accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance and, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.2,
except to the extent the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the
Servicing Standard and Section 4.4 that such Advance, if made, would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance, in which event the Special Servicer shall promptly
direct the Master Servicer not to make such Advance. Such determination by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be conclusive and binding on the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and the Certificateholders and, in the case of any B
Note, the holder of the related B Note and, in the case of any Serviced Pari
Passu Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan.
The Special Servicer shall not be required to make Servicing Advances under this
Agreement but may make such Servicing Advances at its option in which event the
Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Servicing Advance
within 30 days of receipt of a statement therefor. Promptly after discovering
that the Master Servicer has failed to make a Servicing Advance that the Master
Servicer is required to make hereunder, the Paying
-109-
Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the failure by the Master
Servicer to make such Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer may make Servicing
Advances in its own discretion if it determines that making such Servicing
Advance is in the best interest of the Certificateholders, even if the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with Section 4.4
below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
The applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer is obligated
to make Servicing Advances pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan,
and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation or authority to make Servicing
Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 4.3 ADVANCES BY THE TRUSTEE AND THE FISCAL AGENT.
(a) To the extent that the Master Servicer fails to make a P&I Advance
with respect to a Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer Remittance Date (other
than a P&I Advance that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines
is a Nonrecoverable Advance), the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance with
respect to such Mortgage Loan to the extent the Trustee receives written notice
from the Paying Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
Distribution Date that such Advance has not been made by the Master Servicer on
the Master Servicer Remittance Date unless the Trustee determines that such P&I
Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. To the extent that the
Trustee fails to make a P&I Advance required to be made by the Trustee hereunder
on the Distribution Date (other than a P&I Advance that the Master Servicer or
the Trustee determines is a Nonrecoverable Advance), the Fiscal Agent will
advance such P&I Advance unless the Fiscal Agent determines that any such P&I
Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. To the extent that the
Fiscal Agent is required hereunder to make P&I Advances on the Mortgage Loans,
it shall deposit the amount thereof in the Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on each such Distribution Date. The Paying Agent shall
notify the Trustee in writing as soon as practicable, but not later than 10:00
a.m. (New York City time) on the Distribution Date if the Master Servicer has
failed to make a P&I Advance.
(b) To the extent that the Master Servicer fails to make a Servicing
Advance by the date such Servicing Advance is required to be made (other than a
Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer determines is a Nonrecoverable
Advance), and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives notice thereof, the
Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance promptly, but in any event, not later
than five Business Days after notice thereof in accordance with Section 4.2,
unless the Trustee determines that such Servicing Advance, if made, would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance.
(c) To the extent that the Trustee fails to make a Servicing Advance
required to be made by the Trustee hereunder by the later of (i) the date such
Servicing Advance is required to be made and (ii) five Business Days after the
date the Trustee has received notice pursuant to subsection (b) above, that such
Servicing Advance has not been made by the Master Servicer (other than a
Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has determined to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance), the Fiscal Agent will advance such Servicing Advance,
unless
-110-
the Fiscal Agent determines that such Servicing Advance, if made, would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance.
The initial Trustee's failure to make any Advance required to be made
by it hereunder shall not constitute a default by the initial Trustee hereunder
if the initial Fiscal Agent makes such Advance at or before the time when the
Trustee was required to make such Advance.
SECTION 4.4 EVIDENCE OF NONRECOVERABILITY.
(a) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines at any
time, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that any Advance
previously made (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) or any proposed
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, such determination
shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Special Servicer, the Operating Adviser
and the Rating Agencies (and the holder of the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
if the Advance relates to a Loan Pair) by the Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date. Such Officer's Certificate shall set forth the reasons for
such determination of nonrecoverability, together with, to the extent such
information, report or document is in the Master Servicer's or Special
Servicer's possession, any related financial information such as related income
and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and
any Appraisals performed within the last 12 months on the Mortgaged Property,
and, if such reports are used by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, to determine that any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as
applicable, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, any engineers' reports,
environmental surveys, internal final valuations or other information relevant
thereto which support such determination. If the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, determines at any time that any portion of an Advance previously
made or a portion of a proposed Advance that the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, is required to make pursuant to this Agreement, if made, would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, such determination shall be evidenced by an
Officer's Certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent, as applicable, delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Operating Adviser similar to the
Officer's Certificate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer described
in the prior sentence. If the Special Servicer determines at any time that any
portion of an Advance previously made would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance,
such determination shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of a
Responsible Officer of the Special Servicer, delivered to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agent and the
Operating Adviser similar to the Officer's Certificate of the Master Servicer
described above. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall not be required to make
an Advance that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or with respect to
a Mortgage Loan included in a Loan Pair or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the
related Other Master Servicer) has previously determined to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall be
obligated to, nor shall it, make any Advance or make any payment that is
designated in this Agreement to be an Advance, if it determines in its good
faith judgment that such Advance or such payment (including interest accrued
thereon at the Advance Rate) would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master
Servicer's determination in accordance with the above provisions shall be
conclusive and binding on the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agent and
the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances
in respect of prior P&I Advances and
-111-
Servicing Advances as outstanding Advances for purposes of nonrecoverablility
determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance were a P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance, as applicable.
(b) Any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer, Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Trustee or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Fiscal Agent, as applicable,
shall be entitled to reimbursement for Pari Passu Loan Nonrecoverable Advances
pursuant to and to the extent set forth in the related Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Intercreditor Agreement (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon provided for under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) in the manner set forth in Section 5.2.
SECTION 4.5 INTEREST ON ADVANCES; CALCULATION OF OUTSTANDING ADVANCES
WITH RESPECT TO A MORTGAGE LOAN. Any unreimbursed Advance funded from the Master
Servicer's, the Special Servicer's, the Trustee's or the Fiscal Agent's own
funds shall accrue interest on a daily basis, at a per annum rate equal to the
Advance Rate, from and including the date such Advance was made to but not
including the date on which such Advance has been reimbursed; provided, however,
that neither the Master Servicer nor any other party shall be entitled to
interest accrued on the amount of any P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage
Loan or any B Note for the period commencing on the date of such P&I Advance and
ending on the day on which the grace period applicable to the related
Mortgagor's obligation to make the related Scheduled Payment expires pursuant to
the related Mortgage Loan or B Note documents. All Late Collections on any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan in respect of interest shall, promptly following
receipt thereof, be applied by the Master Servicer to reimburse the interest
component of any P&I Advance outstanding with respect to such Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan. Any party that makes a P&I Advance with respect to any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall provide to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Master Servicer monthly, at least two Business Days prior to the next
succeeding Due Date for such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, written notice of
whether (and, if any, how much) Advance Interest will be payable on the interest
component of that P&I Advance through the next succeeding related Master
Servicer Remittance Date. For purposes of determining whether a P&I Advance is
outstanding, amounts collected with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan, B
Note or REO Property and treated as collections of principal or interest shall
be applied first to reimburse the earliest P&I Advance, and then each succeeding
P&I Advance to the extent not inconsistent with Section 4.6. The Master Servicer
shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect (but shall
have no further obligation to collect), with respect to the Mortgage Loans (and
the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans) that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans, Late Fees and default interest from the Mortgagor in an amount sufficient
to pay Advance Interest. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain Late
Fees and default interest paid by any Mortgagor during a Collection Period with
respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than the portion of such Late Fee and
default interest that relates to the period commencing after the Servicing
Transfer Event in respect of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, as to which the
Special Servicer shall retain Late Fees and default interest with respect to
such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, subject to the offsets set forth below)
as additional servicing compensation only to the extent such Late Fees and
default interest exceed Advance Interest on a "pool basis" for all Mortgage
Loans other than Specially Serviced Mortgaged Loans. The Special Servicer, with
respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall (i) pay from any Late
Fees and default interest collected from such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
(a) any outstanding and unpaid Advance Interest in respect of such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent,
as applicable
-112-
and (b) to the Trust, any losses previously incurred by the Trust with respect
to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (ii) retain any remaining portion
of such Late Fees and default interest as additional Special Servicer
Compensation.
SECTION 4.6 REIMBURSEMENT OF ADVANCES AND ADVANCE INTEREST.
(a) Advances made with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan, B Note, Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO
Property (including Advances later determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) and
Advance Interest thereon shall be reimbursed to the extent of the amounts
identified to be applied therefor in Section 5.2. The aggregate of the amounts
available to repay Advances and Advance Interest thereon pursuant to Section 5.2
collected in any Collection Period with respect to Mortgage Loans, any Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan or any B Note or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or
REO Property shall be an "Available Advance Reimbursement Amount."
(b) To the extent that Advances have been made on the Mortgage Loans,
any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, any B Note, any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans or any REO Mortgage Loans, the Available Advance Reimbursement
Amount with respect to any Determination Date shall be applied to reimburse (i)
the Fiscal Agent for any Advances outstanding to the Fiscal Agent with respect
to any of such Mortgage Loans, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, B Note,
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Mortgage Loans, plus any Advance
Interest owed to the Fiscal Agent with respect to such Advances and then (ii)
the Trustee for any Advances outstanding to the Trustee with respect to any of
such Mortgage Loans, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, B Note, Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Mortgage Loans, plus any Advance Interest owed to
the Trustee with respect to such Advances and then (iii) the Master Servicer for
any Advances outstanding to the Master Servicer with respect to any of such
Mortgage Loans, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, B Note, Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans or REO Mortgage Loans, plus any Advance Interest owed to the
Master Servicer with respect to such Advances and then (iv) the Special Servicer
for any Advances outstanding to the Special Servicer with respect to any of such
Mortgage Loans, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, B Note, Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans or REO Mortgage Loans, plus any Advance Interest owed to the
Special Servicer with respect to such Advances. To the extent that any Advance
Interest payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or
the Fiscal Agent with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO
Mortgage Loan cannot be recovered from the related Mortgagor, the amount of such
Advance Interest shall be payable to the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee, the Special
Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, from amounts on deposit in
the Certificate Account (or sub-account thereof) or the Distribution Account, to
the extent of amounts identified to be applied therefor, pursuant to Section
5.2(a) or Section 5.3(b)(ii). The Master Servicer's, the Special Servicer's, the
Fiscal Agent's and the Trustee's right of reimbursement under this Agreement for
Advances shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders (and, in the
case of a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the holder thereof and, in the case
of a B Note, the holder thereof) to receive any amounts recovered with respect
to such Mortgage Loans, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans, B Notes or REO
Mortgage Loans.
(c) Advance Interest will be paid to the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer (in accordance with the
priorities specified in the preceding paragraph) first, from Late Fees and
default interest collected from the Mortgage Loans during
-113-
the Collection Period during which the related Advance is reimbursed, and then
from Excess Liquidation Proceeds then available prior to payment from any other
amounts. Late Fees and default interest will be applied on a "pool basis" for
non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and on a "loan-by-loan basis" (under which
Late Fees and default interest will be offset against the Advance Interest
arising only from that particular Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) for
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, to the payment of Advance
Interest on all Advances on such non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or such
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, then being reimbursed.
Advance Interest payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Fiscal Agent or the Trustee in respect of Servicing Advances on any Loan Pair
shall be allocated to the Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan on a pro rata basis based upon the Principal Balance
thereof.
(d) Amounts applied to reimburse Advances shall first be applied to
reduce Advance Interest thereon that was not paid from amounts specified in the
preceding paragraph (c) and then to reduce the outstanding amount of such
Advances.
(e) To the extent that the Special Servicer incurs out-of-pocket
expenses, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, in connection with
servicing Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall reimburse
the Special Servicer for such expenditures within 30 days after receiving an
invoice and a report from the Special Servicer, subject to Section 4.4. With
respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver such
invoice and report to the Master Servicer by the following Determination Date.
All such amounts reimbursed by the Master Servicer shall be a Servicing Advance,
subject to Section 4.4. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to reimburse
the Special Servicer hereunder or the Master Servicer determines that such
Servicing Advance was or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and the
Master Servicer does not make such payment, the Special Servicer shall notify
the Master Servicer and the Paying Agent in writing of such nonpayment and the
amount payable to the Special Servicer and shall be entitled to receive
reimbursement from the Trust as an Additional Trust Expense. The Master
Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall have no obligation to verify
the amount payable to the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.6(e) and
circumstances surrounding the notice delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant
to this Section 4.6(e).
SECTION 4.7 FISCAL AGENT TERMINATION EVENT. "Fiscal Agent Termination

owed to it hereunder on or prior to the effective date of its termination from
amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account.

the Fiscal Agent nor any of the directors, officers, employees, agents or

business judgment pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided that this provision shall not protect the Fiscal Agent or any such

this Agreement. The Fiscal Agent and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Fiscal Agent may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising

damage or liability, joint or several, and any action in respect thereof, to
which the Fiscal Agent, its directors, officers, employees, agents or
Controlling Person may become subject under the 1933 Act, insofar as such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Private Placement Memorandum, Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, Final

Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Trustee pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Intercreditor Agreement.
With respect to any A/B Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more sub-accounts of the Certificate Account (each
an "A/B Loan Custodial Account") into which the Master Servicer shall deposit
any amounts described above that are required to be paid to the holder of the
related B Note pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, in

deposit any amounts described above that are required to be paid to the holder
of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the
related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement, in each case on the same day as the
deposit thereof into the Certificate Account. Each Serviced Companion Mortgage

Pool.
Remittances from any REO Account to the Master Servicer for deposit in

(d) The Master Servicer, with respect to each Distribution Date
occurring in January (other than in any leap year) and February of each year,
shall deposit in the Interest Reserve Account in respect of each Interest
Reserve Loan, an amount equal to one day's interest at the related REMIC I Net
Mortgage Rate (without any conversion to a 30/360 basis as provided in the
definition thereof) on the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as
of the Due Date in the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, to the
extent a Scheduled Payment or P&I Advance is timely made in respect thereof for
such Due Date (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January and February
in respect of each Interest Reserve Loan, the "Interest Reserve Amount"). For
purposes of determining amounts to be deposited into the
-119-
Interest Reserve Account, the REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate used in this calculation
for those months will be calculated without regard to any adjustment for
Interest Reserve Amounts or the interest accrual basis as described in the
proviso to the definition of "REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate."
(e) Funds in the Certificate Account (including any A/B Loan Custodial
Accounts and Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Accounts) and Interest
Reserve Account may be invested and, if invested, shall be invested by, and at
the risk of, the Master Servicer in Eligible Investments selected by the Master
Servicer which shall mature, unless payable on demand, not later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the next Master Servicer Remittance Date, and
any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its
maturity unless payable on demand. All such Eligible Investments shall be made
in the name of "LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for the Holders of
the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2005-TOP17 and the holder of any related Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan or B Note as their interests may appear." None of the Depositor,
the Mortgagors, the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall be liable for any loss
incurred on such Eligible Investments.
An amount equal to all income and gain realized from any such
investment shall be paid to the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time from time to
time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall
be for the account of the Master Servicer which shall deposit the amount of such
loss (to the extent not offset by income from other investments) in the
Certificate Account (and, solely to the extent that the loss is of an amount
credited to an A/B Loan Custodial Account or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
Custodial Account, deposit to the related A/B Loan Custodial Account or Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Account, as the case may be) or Interest
Reserve Account, as the case may be, out of its own funds immediately as
realized. If the Master Servicer deposits in or transfers to the Certificate
Account, any A/B Loan Custodial Account, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
Custodial Account or the Interest Reserve Account, as the case may be, any
amount not required to be deposited therein or transferred thereto, it may at
any time withdraw such amount or retransfer such amount from the Certificate
Account, such A/B Loan Custodial Account, such Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
Custodial Account or the Interest Reserve Account, as the case may be, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(f) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Eligible Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Eligible
Investment, the Paying Agent on behalf of and at the direction of the Trustee
may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or
performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer shall have deposited
in the Certificate Account, the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
Custodial Account, the related A/B Loan Custodial Account or the Interest
Reserve Account, as applicable, an amount equal to all amounts due under any
such Eligible Investment (net of anticipated income or earnings thereon that
would have been payable to the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation) the Master Servicer shall have the sole right to enforce such
payment or performance.
-120-
(g) Certain of the Mortgage Loans may provide for payment by the
Mortgagor to the Master Servicer of amounts to be used for payment of Escrow
Amounts for the account of the Mortgagor. The Master Servicer shall deal with
these amounts in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the terms of the
related Mortgage Loans and Section 8.3(e) hereof, and the Primary Servicer will
be entitled to hold any Escrow Accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans that it
services in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 8.3(e). Within
20 days following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Operating Adviser, for
each Mortgage Loan set forth on Schedule VII hereto, a brief statement as to the
status of the work or project based on the most recent information provided by
the Mortgagor. Schedule VII sets forth those Mortgage Loans as to which an
upfront reserve was collected at closing in an amount in excess of $75,000 with
respect to specific immediate engineering work, completion of additional
construction, environmental remediation or similar one-time projects (but not
with respect to escrow accounts maintained for ongoing obligations, such as real
estate taxes, insurance premiums, ongoing property maintenance, replacements and
capital improvements or debt service). If the work or project is not completed
in accordance with the requirements of the escrow, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer (which shall itself consult with the Operating Adviser) will
consult with each other as to whether there exists a material default under the
underlying Mortgage Loan documents.
(h) In the case of the Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule XI, as to
which the Scheduled Payment is due in a calendar month on a Due Date (including
any grace period) that may occur after the end of the Collection Period ending
in such calendar month, the Master Servicer shall, unless the Scheduled Payment
is received before the end of such Collection Period, make a P&I Advance by
deposit to the Certificate Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in an
amount equal to the Scheduled Payment or the Assumed Scheduled Payment, as
applicable, and for purposes of the definition of "Available Distribution
Amount" and "Principal Distribution Amount," such Scheduled Payment or Assumed
Scheduled Payment, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been received in such
Collection Period.
SECTION 5.2 APPLICATION OF FUNDS IN THE CERTIFICATE ACCOUNT AND
INTEREST RESERVE ACCOUNT.
(a) Subsection (I). The Master Servicer shall, from time to time, make
withdrawals from the Certificate Account and remit them by wire transfer prior
to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Master Servicer Remittance
Date in immediately available funds to the account specified in this Section or

reimbursement of amounts described in any one or more of clauses (i),
(ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (xii) above, but only
insofar as the payment or reimbursement described therein arises from
or is related solely to such A/B Mortgage Loan and is allocable to the
A/B Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement or the related
Intercreditor Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall also be
entitled to make transfers from time to time, from the related A/B
Loan Custodial Account to the portion of the Certificate Account that
does not constitute the A/B Loan Custodial Account, of amounts
transferred to such related A/B Loan Custodial Account in error, and
amounts necessary for the clearing and termination of the Certificate
Account pursuant to Section 8.29;
(B) the Master Servicer shall be entitled to make transfers from time
to time, from the related A/B Loan Custodial Account to the portion of

above to which the holder of an A Note is entitled under the A/B
Mortgage Loan and the related Intercreditor Agreement (including in
respect of interest, principal and Prepayment Premiums in respect of
the A Note (whether or not by operation of any provision of the
related Intercreditor Agreement that entitles the holder of such A
Note to receive remittances in amounts calculated without regard to
any modification, waiver or amendment of the economic terms of such A
Note)); and
(C) the Master Servicer shall on each Master Servicer Remittance Date
remit to the holder of the related B Note all amounts on deposit in
such A/B Loan Custodial Account (net of amounts permitted or required
to be transferred therefrom as described in clauses (A) and/or (B)
above), to the extent that the holder of such B Note is entitled

that entitles the holder of such B Note to reimbursement of cure
payments made by it).
and provided further, however, that in the case of any Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan:
(A) the Master Servicer shall be entitled to make transfers from time
to time, from the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial
Account to the portion of the Certificate Account that does not

amounts necessary for the payments or reimbursement of amounts
described in any one or more of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v),
(vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (xii) above, but only insofar as the
-125-
payment or reimbursement described therein arises from or is related
solely to such Loan Pair and is allocable to the Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to make
transfers from time to time, from the related Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan Custodial Account to the portion of the Certificate
Account that does not constitute any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
Custodial Account, of amounts transferred to such related Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Account in error, and amounts
necessary for the clearing and termination of the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 8.29; provided, however that the Master Servicer
shall not be entitled to make transfers from the portion of the
Certificate Account that does not constitute any Serviced Companion

Custodial Account in accordance with this clause (A)) of amounts

one or more of the foregoing clauses;
(B) the Master Servicer shall be entitled to make transfers from time
to time, from the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial

related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement (including in respect of
interest, principal and Prepayment Premiums); and
(C) the Master Servicer shall, on either (x) the later of (i) one (1)

other date as may be agreed to between the Master Servicer and the

respective sole discretion), remit to the holder of the related
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan all amounts on deposit in such
related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Account (net of
amounts permitted or required to be transferred therefrom as described
in clauses (A) and/or (B) above), to the extent that the holder of
such Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan is entitled thereto under the
related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement.
No decision by the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
under either this Section 5.2(a) or subsection (iv) of Section 5.2(a)(II), to
defer the reimbursement of Advances and/or Advance Interest shall be construed
as an agreement by the Master Servicer to subordinate (in respect of realizing
losses), to any Class of Certificates, such party's right to such reimbursement
during such period of deferral.
Expenses incurred with respect to any Loan Pair shall be allocated in
accordance with the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement. Expenses incurred
with respect to an A/B Mortgage Loan shall be allocated in accordance with the

separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and
B Note for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal or transfer
-126-
from the Certificate Account, each Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial
Account and any A/B Loan Custodial Account, as applicable. If funds collected in
respect of the A Notes are insufficient to pay the Master Servicing Fee, then
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw the amount of such shortfall
from the collections on, and other proceeds of, the B Note that are held in the
related A/B Loan Custodial Account. The Master Servicer shall not be permitted
to withdraw any funds from the portion of the Certificate Account that does not
constitute the A/B Loan Custodial Account unless there are no remaining funds in
the related A/B Loan Custodial Account available and required to be paid in
accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.
Subsection (II). The provisions of this subsection II of this Section
5.2(a) shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) of
this Section 5.2(a):
(i) Identification of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts. If
any Advance made with respect to any Mortgage Loan on or before the
date on which such Mortgage Loan becomes (or, but for the requirement
that the Mortgagor shall have made three consecutive scheduled
payments under its modified terms, would then constitute) a
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, together with Advance Interest accrued
thereon, is not, pursuant to the operation of the provisions of
Section 5.2(a)(I), reimbursed to the Person who made such Advance on
or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, such Advance, together with such Advance
Interest, shall constitute a "Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount" to
the extent that such amount has not been determined to constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance. All references herein to "Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amount" shall be construed always to mean the related
Advance and any Advance Interest thereon, together with any further
Advance Interest that accrues on the unreimbursed portion of such
Advance from time to time in accordance with the other provisions of
this Agreement. That any amount constitutes all or a portion of any
Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount shall not in any manner limit the
right of any Person hereunder to determine that such amount instead
constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(ii) General Relationship of Provisions. Subsection (iii) below
(subject to the terms and conditions thereof) sets forth the terms of
and conditions to the right of a Person to be reimbursed for any
Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount to the extent that such Person is
not otherwise entitled to reimbursement and payment of such
Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount pursuant to the operation of
Section 5.2(a)(I) above. Subsection (iv) below (subject to the terms
and conditions thereof) authorizes the Master Servicer to abstain from
reimbursing itself (or, if applicable, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to abstain from obtaining reimbursement) for Nonrecoverable Advances
under certain circumstances at its sole option. Upon any determination
that all or any portion of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount
constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance, then the reimbursement or
payment of such amount (and any further Advance Interest that may
accrue thereon) shall cease to be subject to the operation of
subsection (iii) below, such amount (and further Advance Interest)
shall be as fully payable and reimbursable to the relevant
-127-
Person as would any other Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest
thereon) and, as a Nonrecoverable Advance, such amount may become the
subject of the Master Servicer's (or, if applicable, the Trustee's or
the Fiscal Agent's) exercise of its sole option authorized by
subsection (iv) below.
(iii) Reimbursements of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts.
The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal
Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement and payment
for all Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts in each Collection
Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount (for all such
Persons collectively) of such reimbursements and payments in such
Collection Period shall not exceed (and the reimbursement and payment
shall be made from) the aggregate amount in the Collection Account
allocable to principal received or advanced with respect to the
Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period contemplated by clause
(I)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount (but not
including any such amounts that constitute Advances) and net of any
Nonrecoverable Advances then outstanding and reimbursable from such
principal in accordance with Section 5.2(a)(II)(iv) below. As and to
the extent provided in clause (II)(A) of the definition thereof, the
Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date related to
such Collection Period shall be reduced to the extent that such
payment or reimbursement of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount is
made from the aggregate amount in the Collection Account allocable to
principal pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(iv) Reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances; Sole Option to
Abstain from Reimbursements of Certain Nonrecoverable Advances. To the
extent that Section 5.2(a)(I) otherwise entitles the Master Servicer
to reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance (or payment of Advance
Interest thereon from a source other than Late Fees and default
interest on the related Mortgage Loan) during any Collection Period,
then, notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) above,
(a) to the extent that one or more such reimbursements and payments of
Nonrecoverable Advances (and such Advance Interest thereon) are made,
such reimbursements and payments shall be made, first, from the
aggregate amount in the Collection Account allocable to principal
received or advanced with respect to the Mortgage Loans for such
Collection Period contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the definition of
Principal Distribution Amount (but not including any such amounts that
constitute Advances, and prior to any deduction for Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amounts (and Advance Interest thereon) that were
reimbursed or paid during the related Collection Period from amounts
allocable to principal received with respect to the Mortgage Loans, as
described by clause (II)(A) of the definition of Principal
Distribution Amount and pursuant to subsection (iii) of Section
5.2(a)(II)), and then from other collections (including interest) on
the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period, provided, that if
interest is used to reimburse such Nonrecoverable Advances, the party
entitled to such reimbursement shall notify the Rating Agencies at
least fifteen (15) days prior to such reimbursement, unless
circumstances exist that are extraordinary in the sole discretion of
such party, and (b) if and to the extent that the amount of such a
Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon),
-128-
together with all Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest
thereon) theretofore reimbursed during such Collection Period, would
exceed such principal on the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period
(and Advance Interest thereon), the Master Servicer (and the Trustee
or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, if it made the relevant Advance)
is hereby authorized (but shall not be construed to have any
obligation whatsoever), if it elects at its sole option, to abstain
from reimbursing itself (notwithstanding that it is entitled to such
reimbursement) during that Collection Period for all or a portion of
such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), provided
that the aggregate amount that is deferred with respect to all
Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) with respect to
all Mortgage Loans for any particular Collection Period is less than
or equal to such excess described above in this clause (b). If the
Master Servicer (or the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable)
makes such an election at its sole option to defer reimbursement with
respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance
Interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance
Interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully
reimbursable in any subsequent Collection Period to the same extent as
set forth above. In connection with a potential election by the Master
Servicer to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular
Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period
for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer (or the Trustee or the
Fiscal Agent, as applicable) shall further be authorized to wait for
principal collections to be received before making its determination
of whether to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular
Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof until the end of the
Collection Period.
The reimbursements of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amounts set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall take into
account the allocation of amounts described in the last sentence of the
definition of "Liquidation Realized Loss."
None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall
have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making
an election, that is authorized under this subsection (II)(iv). The foregoing
shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be
imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the
conditions to making such an election under this subsection (II)(iv) or to
comply with the terms of this subsection (II)(iv) and the other provisions of
this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made.
Any election by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent, as applicable) to abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable
Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any
Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the Master Servicer (or
the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable) any obligation to make such an
election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other
Person to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or
to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the Master Servicer (or the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable) to otherwise be reimbursed for
-129-
such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon). Any election by the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent to abstain from reimbursing
itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one
or more Collection Periods shall not limit the accrual of Advance Interest on
the unreimbursed portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to
the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. None of the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the other parties to this Agreement
shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or
any holder of a B Note or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan for any such election
that such party makes as contemplated by this subsection or for any losses,
damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an
election. The foregoing statements in this paragraph shall not limit the
generality of the statements made in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Fiscal Agent shall have the right to abstain from reimbursing itself for any
Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of the amount described in clause (I)(A) of
the definition of Principal Distribution Amount.
(v) Reimbursement Rights of the Master Servicer, Special
Servicer, Trustee and Fiscal Agent Are Senior. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to create in any Certificateholder a right
to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer's, the
Special Servicer's, the Trustee's or the Fiscal Agent's right to
reimbursement for Advances plus Advance Interest (whether those that
constitute Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts, those that have been
the subject of the Master Servicer's election authorized in subsection
(iv) or otherwise).
(b) Scheduled Payments due in a Collection Period succeeding the
Collection Period relating to such Master Servicer Remittance Date, Principal
Prepayments received after the related Collection Period, or other amounts not
distributable on the related Distribution Date, shall be held in the Certificate
Account (or sub-account thereof) and shall be distributed on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date or Dates to which such succeeding Collection Period or Periods
relate, provided, however, that as to the Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule
XI, for which the Scheduled Payment due each month is due on a Due Date
(including any grace period) that may occur after the end of the Collection
Period in such month, sums received by the Master Servicer with respect to such
Scheduled Payment but after the end of such Collection Period shall be applied
by the Master Servicer to reimburse any related P&I Advance made pursuant to
Section 5.1(h), and the Master Servicer shall remit to the Distribution Account
on any Master Servicer Remittance Date for a Collection Period any Principal
Prepayments and Balloon Payments received after the end of such Collection
Period but no later than the second Business Day immediately preceding such
Master Servicer Remittance Date on the Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule XI.
The Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to remit to the Distribution
Account on any Master Servicer Remittance Date for a Collection Period any
Balloon Payments received after the date that is two Business Days immediately
preceding the related Master Servicer Remittance Date and prior to the
Distribution Date. In connection with the deposit of any Balloon Payments to the
Distribution Account in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the
Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent
shall, if it has already reported anticipated distributions to the Depository,
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Depository to make the revised
distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. Neither the Master
Servicer nor the Paying Agent shall be liable or held
-130-
responsible for any resulting delay or failure in the making of such
distribution to Certificateholders. For purposes of the definition of "Available
Distribution Amount" and "Principal Distribution Amount," (i) the Scheduled
Payments relating to the Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule XI that are
collected after the end of the related Collection Period and (ii) Principal
Prepayments and Balloon Payments relating to the Mortgage Loans set forth on
Schedule XI received after the end of the related Collection Period but prior to
the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall each be deemed to have been collected
in the prior Collection Period.
(c) On each Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of every year
commencing in March 2005, the Master Servicer shall withdraw all amounts then in
the Interest Reserve Account and deposit such amounts into the Distribution
Account.
SECTION 5.3 DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT AND RESERVE ACCOUNT.
(a) The Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee shall establish (with
respect to clause (i), on or prior to the Closing Date, and with respect to
clause (ii), on or prior to the date the Paying Agent determines is necessary)

(xlix) to the Holders of the Class P Certificates, to reimburse
any Realized Losses previously allocated thereto and not previously fully

such Realized Losses; and
(l) to the Holders of the Class R-III Certificates at such time
as the Certificate Balances of all Classes of REMIC Regular Certificates have
been reduced to zero, and Realized Losses previously allocated to each Holder
have been reimbursed to the Holders of the REMIC Regular Certificates, any
amounts remaining on deposit in the Distribution Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Distribution Date occurring on
or after the earliest date, if any, upon which the Certificate Balances of all
the Classes of Subordinate Certificates have been reduced to zero or the
aggregate Appraisal Reduction in effect is greater than or equal to the
Certificate Balances of all the Classes of Subordinate Certificates, the
Principal Distribution Amount will be distributed, first, to the Holders of the
Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB and Class A-5
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, second, to the Holders of
the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB and Class A-5, pro
rata, based on the respective amounts of unreimbursed Realized Losses previously
allocated to each such Class, plus one month's interest on such Realized Losses
at the applicable Pass-Through Rate. A similar rule shall apply to the
distribution of the Principal Distribution Amount to REMIC II Regular Interests
A-1A, X-0X, X-0X, X-0X, X-0X, X-0X, X-0X, X-0X, X-0X, X-0X, A-3C, A-
-143-
4D, A-ABA, A-ABB, X-XXX, X-0X, X-0X, X-0X, X-0X, X-0X and A-5F; provided that
sequential payments shall be made to the REMIC II Regular Interests as set forth
in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 6.3(a).
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall withdraw amounts
in the Reserve Account and shall pay the Certificateholders on such Distribution
Date such amounts in the following priority:
(i) first, to reimburse the Holders of the Principal Balance
Certificates (in order of alphabetical Class designation) for any, and to the
extent of, Realized Losses previously allocated to them; and
(ii) second, upon the reduction of the Aggregate Certificate
Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates to zero, to pay any amounts
remaining on deposit in such account to the Special Servicer as additional
Special Servicer Compensation.
This Section 6.5(b) shall apply mutatis mutandis to reimbursement of
Realized Losses previously allocated to the REMIC II Regular Interests.
(c) On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall withdraw from
the Excess Interest Sub-account any Excess Interest on deposit therein, and the
Paying Agent shall pay such Excess Interest on such Distribution Date to the
Class P Certificates (even if the Certificate Balance of the Class P
Certificates has been reduced to zero for any reason).
SECTION 6.6 ALLOCATION OF REALIZED LOSSES, EXPENSE LOSSES AND
SHORTFALLS DUE TO NONRECOVERABILITY.
(a) REMIC I. On each Distribution Date, except as provided in
subsection (b) below,
(i) Realized Principal Losses on each Mortgage Loan realized
during the related Collection Period shall reduce the Certificate Balance of the
Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest;
(ii) Realized Interest Losses on each Mortgage Loan shall be
allocated to reduce first, Distributable Certificate Interest for such
Distribution Date, and then Unpaid Interest in each case owing on the
Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest; and to the extent that such Realized
Interest Loss exceeds such amount, shall be treated as an Expense Loss; and
(iii) Expense Losses (not otherwise applied above) realized
during the related Collection Period shall be allocated among the REMIC I
Regular Interests in proportion to their Certificate Balances and treated as
Realized Principal Losses to the extent so allocated (and shall proportionately
reduce the Certificate Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest) after making
all other allocations for such Distribution Date.
(b) If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the
Fiscal Agent, determines that an Advance previously made by it (whether such
Advance (together with
-144-
Advance Interest thereon) was in respect of principal or interest on the related
Mortgage Loan or a Servicing Advance) is a Nonrecoverable Advance and the Master
Servicer withdraws the amount of such Advance from the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 5.2(a) hereof (which amount shall be treated as an Available
Advance Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 4.6) or if the Master Servicer
determines that any Unliquidated Advance has become a Nonrecoverable Advance,
the Master Servicer (after consultation with the Special Servicer) shall compute
the Realized Loss with respect to such Mortgage Loan (and the Paying Agent shall
allocate the Realized Loss) as follows:
(i) the amount withdrawn from the Certificate Account shall be
treated as Realized Principal Losses up to the amount of the aggregate amount in
the Collection Account allocable to principal received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the
definition of Principal Distribution Amount, and shall be allocated to the
Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest in accordance with Section 6.6(a)(i) (and
to the extent that any Realized Principal Loss exceeds the Certificate Balance
of the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest, such Realized Principal Loss
shall be allocated to the other Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interests in
accordance with Section 6.6(a)(iii)), and such withdrawal shall reduce the
principal paid on each such REMIC I Regular Interest on which principal would
otherwise be paid on such Distribution Date, in proportion to such principal
payments; and
(ii) if the amount that the Master Servicer withdraws from the
Certificate Account as referenced in clause (b)(i) above exceeds such amount
allocable to principal received with respect to the Mortgage Loans for such
Collection Period, then such additional amounts shall constitute Unpaid
Interest, and shall be allocated to the REMIC I Regular Interests on a pro rata
basis based upon the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(c) If (x) a Final Recovery Determination is made with respect to any
Mortgage Loan with respect to which the Master Servicer previously had withdrawn
amounts from the Certificate Account following a determination that Advances
previously made were Nonrecoverable Advances and Realized Losses were computed
and allocated pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, and (y) amounts are
recovered thereafter:
(i) the portion of the amount of collections recovered on the
Mortgage Loan that is identified and applied by the Master Servicer as
recoveries of principal shall be applied by the Paying Agent first, to make
payments of principal on the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest up to an
amount equal to the Realized Principal Losses previously allocated thereto as a
result of the reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances or Advance Interest (and
the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and the related Certificate Balance
of the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest shall be correspondingly
increased), and thereafter to make payments of principal to the Corresponding
REMIC I Regular Interests with respect to which principal distributions were
reduced pursuant to Section 6.6(b)(i) above, in proportion to the amount of such
reductions; and
(ii) the portion of the amount recovered on the Mortgage Loan
that is identified and applied by the Master Servicer as recoveries of interest
shall be applied by the
-145-
Paying Agent to make payments of Unpaid Interest on the REMIC I Regular
Interests with respect to which Unpaid Interest was allocated pursuant to
Section 6.6(b)(ii).
(d) REMIC II. On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses on the
REMIC I Interests for such Distribution Date (or for prior Distribution Dates,
to the extent not previously allocated) shall be allocated to the Corresponding
REMIC II Regular Interests in the amounts and in the manner as will be allocated
to the REMIC Regular Certificates relating thereto pursuant to Section 6.6(f);
provided, however, that Realized Losses shall be allocated among two or more
Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interests that correspond to a Class of Principal
Balance Certificates sequentially in alphabetical and numerical order. Realized
Losses allocated to the Class X Certificates shall reduce the amount of interest
payable on the REMIC II Regular Interest A-1A, REMIC II Regular Interest A-1B,
REMIC II Regular Interest A-2A, REMIC II Regular Interest A-2B, REMIC II Regular
Interest A-3A, REMIC II Regular Interest A-3B, REMIC II Regular Interest A-3C,
REMIC II Regular Interest A-3D, REMIC II Regular Interest A-4A, REMIC II Regular
Interest A-4B, REMIC II Regular Interest A-4C, REMIC II Regular Interest A-4D,
REMIC II Regular Interest A-ABA, REMIC II Regular Interest A-ABB, REMIC II
Regular Interest A-ABC, REMIC II Regular Interest A-5A, REMIC II Regular
Interest A-5B, REMIC II Regular Interest A-5C, REMIC II Regular Interest A-5D,
REMIC II Regular Interest A-5E, REMIC II Regular Interest A-5F, REMIC II Regular
Interest A-JA, REMIC II Regular Interest A-JB, REMIC II Regular Interest A-JC,

REMIC II Regular Interest B-4, REMIC II Regular Interest C-1, REMIC II Regular
Interest C-2, REMIC II Regular Interest D-1, REMIC II Regular Interest D-2,
REMIC II Regular Interest E-1, REMIC II Regular Interest E-2, REMIC II Regular
Interest F-1, REMIC II Regular Interest F-2, REMIC II Regular Interest G, REMIC
II Regular Interest H-1, REMIC II Regular Interest H-2, REMIC II Regular
Interest J, REMIC II Regular Interest K-1, REMIC II Regular Interest K-2, REMIC
II Regular Interest L, REMIC II Regular Interest M, REMIC II Regular Interest N,
REMIC II Regular Interest O and REMIC II Regular Interest P, which reduction
shall be allocated pro rata based on the product of the Certificate Balance of
such REMIC II Regular Interest and the sum of the Class X-1 Strip Rate and the
Class X-2 Strip Rate (if any) applicable to the Class of Certificates relating
to such REMIC II Regular Interest.
(e) Reserved
(f) REMIC III. On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses on the
REMIC II Regular Interests for such Distribution Date (or for prior Distribution
Dates, to the extent not previously allocated) shall be allocated to the REMIC
Regular Certificates in Reverse Sequential Order, in each case reducing (A)
first, the Certificate Balance of such Class until such Certificate Balance is
reduced to zero (in the case of the Principal Balance Certificates); (B) second,
Unpaid Interest owing to such Class to the extent thereof and (C) third,
Distributable Certificate Interest owing to such Class, provided, that such
reductions shall be allocated among the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2
Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-AB
Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates, and, in the case of interest, Class X-1
Certificates and Class X-2 Certificates, pro rata, based upon their outstanding
Certificate Balances or accrued interest, as the case may be, and provided
further, that Realized Losses shall not reduce the Aggregate Certificate Balance
of the REMIC III Certificates below the sum of the Aggregate Certificate
Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interests.
-146-
SECTION 6.7 NET AGGREGATE PREPAYMENT INTEREST SHORTFALLS. On each
Distribution Date, any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in REMIC I
shall be allocated among the REMIC I Regular Interests, pro rata in proportion
to the Accrued Certificate Interest for each such REMIC I Regular Interest for
such Distribution Date and shall reduce Distributable Certificate Interest for
each such Interest. On each Distribution Date, any Net Aggregate Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls in REMIC II shall be allocated among the REMIC II Regular
Interests, pro rata in proportion to the Accrued Certificate Interest for each
such REMIC II Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and shall reduce
Distributable Certificate Interest for each such Interest. On each Distribution
Date, the amount of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the
REMIC III Regular Interests shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates,
pro rata, in proportion to the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest payable to
such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date, in each case reducing
interest otherwise payable thereon. The amount of Net Aggregate Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls allocated to a Class of Certificates pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall reduce the Distributable Certificate Interest for such
Class for such Distribution Date. No Prepayment Interest Shortfall with respect
to a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or a B Note shall be allocated to any
Class of Certificates.
SECTION 6.8 ADJUSTMENT OF SERVICING FEES. The Master Servicing Fee
payable to the Master Servicer shall be adjusted as provided in Section 8.10(c)
herein. Any amount retained by REMIC I as a result of a reduction of the Master
Servicing Fee shall be treated as interest collected with respect to the prepaid
Mortgage Loans with respect to which the Master Servicing Fee adjustment occurs.
SECTION 6.9 APPRAISAL REDUCTIONS. Not later than the date on which an
Appraisal Event occurs, the Special Servicer shall have obtained (A) an
Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property securing the related Mortgage Loan, Loan
Pair or A/B Mortgage Loan, if the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Loan
Pair or A/B Mortgage Loan exceeds $2,000,000 or (B) at the option of the Special
Servicer, if such Principal Balance is less than or equal to $2,000,000, either
an internal valuation prepared by the Special Servicer in accordance with MAI
standards or an Appraisal which in all cases shall be completed as of the date
that such Mortgage Loan, Loan Pair or A/B Mortgage Loan becomes a Required
Appraisal Loan; provided that if the Special Servicer had completed or obtained
an Appraisal or internal valuation within the immediately prior 12 months, the
Special Servicer may rely on such Appraisal or internal valuation and shall have
no duty to prepare a new Appraisal or internal valuation, unless such reliance
would not be in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, further, that
if the Special Servicer is required to obtain an Appraisal of a Mortgaged
Property after receipt of the notice described in clause (ii) of the definition
of Appraisal Event, such Appraisal will be obtained no later than 60 days after
receipt of such notice and an internal valuation will be obtained no later than
60 days after receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
Appraisal shall not be required so long as a guaranty or surety bond that is
rated at least "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by a nationally recognized statistical
rating organization, or debt service reserve or a letter of credit is available
and has the ability to pay off the then outstanding Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loan in full, except to the extent that the Special Servicer, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that obtaining an Appraisal
is in the best interests of the Certificateholders. Such Appraisal or valuation
shall be conducted in accordance with the definition of "market value" as set
forth in 12 C.F.R. ss. 225.62 and shall be updated at least annually to the
extent such Mortgage Loan remains a Required Appraisal Loan. The cost of
-147-
any such Appraisal or valuation, if not performed by the Special Servicer, shall
be an expense of the Trust (and any related B Note) and may be paid from REO
Income or, to the extent collections from such related Mortgage Loan, B Note,
Loan Pair or Mortgaged Property does not cover the expense, such unpaid expense
shall be, subject to Section 4.4 hereof, advanced by the Master Servicer at the
request of the Special Servicer or by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section
4.2 in which event it shall be treated as a Servicing Advance. The Master
Servicer, based on the Appraisal or internal valuation provided to it by the
Special Servicer, shall calculate any Appraisal Reduction. The Master Servicer
shall calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction for any Mortgage Loan, B
Note and Loan Pair based on updated Appraisals or internal valuations provided
from time to time to it by the Special Servicer and report such amount to the
Trustee annually. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Section 6.9
shall not be applicable to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if the applicable
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer shall have performed such
obligations with respect to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the
related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 6.10 COMPLIANCE WITH WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Paying Agent on
behalf of the Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements
with respect to payments to Certificateholders of interest, original issue
discount, or other amounts that the Paying Agent reasonably believes are
applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be
required for any such withholding and any amount so withheld shall be regarded
as distributed to the related Certificateholders for purposes of this Agreement.
In the event the Paying Agent withholds any amount from payments made to any
Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Paying Agent
shall indicate to such Certificateholder the amount withheld. The Trustee shall
not be responsible for the Paying Agent's failure to comply with any withholding
requirements.
SECTION 6.11 PREPAYMENT PREMIUMS. Any Prepayment Premium collected
with respect to a Mortgage Loan (but not a B Note or Serviced Companion Mortgage
Loan, which Prepayment Premium is payable to the holder of the related B Note or
the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, as applicable)
during any particular Collection Period will be deemed distributed to the
Trustee by the Paying Agent on the following Distribution Date as follows: (i)
first, the Paying Agent shall be deemed to distribute to the Trustee, as holder
of the REMIC I Regular Interest to which such Mortgage Loan relates, any
Prepayment Premiums collected on or with respect to such Mortgage Loan; and (ii)
second, the Paying Agent shall be deemed to distribute to the Trustee, as holder
of the REMIC II Regular Interests, any Prepayment Premiums deemed distributed to
the REMIC I Regular Interests, and shall be deemed to distribute such Prepayment
Premiums to the REMIC II Regular Interest then entitled to distributions of
principal from the Principal Distribution Amount (or, if more than one Class of
REMIC II Regular Interests is then entitled to distributions of principal from
the Principal Distribution Amount, such Prepayment Premiums shall be deemed
distributed among such Classes pro rata in accordance with the relevant amounts
of entitlements to distributions of principal). Following such deemed
distributions, the Holders of the respective Classes of Principal Balance
Certificates, other than the Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class
O and Class P Certificates, then entitled to distributions of principal from the
Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, will be entitled to,
and the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee will pay to such Holder(s), an
amount equal to, in the case of each such
-148-
Class, the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount
distributed as principal to the holders of that Class on that Distribution Date,
and the denominator of which is the total amount distributed as principal to the
holders of all Classes of Certificates on that Distribution Date, (b) the Base
Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and that Class of
Certificates and (c) the aggregate amount of Prepayment Premiums collected
during the related Collection Period. Any portion of such Prepayment Premium
that is not so distributed to the Holders of such Principal Balance Certificates
will be distributed to the Holders of the Class X Certificates. On any
Distribution Date on or before the Distribution Date in January 2010, 70% of the
Prepayment Premium that is not so distributed to the Holders of such Principal
Balance Certificates will be distributed to the Holders of the Class X-1
Certificates and 30% of the Prepayment Premium that is not so distributed to the
Holders of such Principal Balance Certificates will be distributed to the
Holders of the Class X-2 Certificates. After the Distribution Date in January
2010, any portion of such Prepayment Premium that is not so distributed to the
Holders of such Principal Balance Certificates will be distributed to the
Holders of the Class X-1 Certificates.

SECTION 7.5 ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRUSTEE, THE FISCAL AGENT
AND THE PAYING AGENT. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be (i) an
institution insured by the FDIC, (ii) a corporation, national bank or national

institution whose short-term debt obligations are at all times rated not less
than "A-1" by S&P and whose long-term senior unsecured debt is at all times
rated not less than "AA-" by Fitch (or "A+" by Fitch if the Trustee's short-term
unsecured debt is rated at least "F-1" by Fitch) and "A+" by S&P, provided, that
if the Fiscal Agent is rated at "AA-" by Fitch (or "A+" by Fitch if the Fiscal
Agent's short-term unsecured debt is rated at least "F-1" by Fitch), and "AA-"
by S&P (or "A+" by S&P if the Fiscal Agent's short-term unsecured debt is rated

evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation. If such corporation, national bank or
national banking association publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then, for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation, national bank or national banking association shall
be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the

specified in Section 7.6.
-154-
(b) The Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or
otherwise authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers and shall be

SECTION 7.6 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE TRUSTEE, THE FISCAL AGENT
OR THE PAYING AGENT.
(a) The Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Paying Agent may at any time
resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice
thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies; provided
that such resignation shall not be effective until its successor shall have
accepted the appointment. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Depositor will promptly appoint a successor trustee, fiscal agent or paying
agent, as the case may be, except in the case of the initial Trustee or Fiscal
Agent, in which case both shall be so replaced but may be replaced under this
paragraph sequentially, by written instrument, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, one copy to the
successor trustee and one copy to each of the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent
and the Rating Agencies. If no successor trustee, fiscal agent or paying agent
shall have been so appointed, as the case may be, and shall have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee, fiscal agent or paying agent, as the case may be. It shall be a
condition to the appointment of a successor trustee or fiscal agent that such
entity satisfies the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 7.5.
(b) If at any time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii) a tax is
imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust or any REMIC Pool by any state
in which the Trustee or the Trust held by the Trustee is located solely because
of the location of the Trustee in such state; provided, however, that, if the
Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust for such taxes, it shall not be removed
pursuant to this clause (iii), (iv) the continuation of the Trustee as such
would result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the rating by the
Rating Agencies of any Class of Certificates with a rating as evidenced in
writing by the Rating Agencies or (v) with respect with the initial Trustee, a
Fiscal Agent Termination Event has occurred unless the Trustee has satisfied the
ratings required by clause (iii) of Section 7.5, then the Depositor may remove
such Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed, one copy to the
successor trustee and one copy to each of the Master Servicer and the Rating
Agencies. In the case of removal under clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above,
the Trustee shall bear all such costs of transfer. Such succession shall take
effect after a successor trustee has been appointed. In the case of the removal
of the initial Trustee, the Depositor shall also remove the Fiscal Agent. In
this case, the procedures and liability for costs of such removal shall be the
same as they are stated in subsection (c) with respect to the Fiscal Agent.
-155-
(c) If at any time (i) the Fiscal Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, or (ii) a Fiscal Agent Termination
Event has occurred, then the Depositor shall send a written notice of
termination to the Fiscal Agent (which notice shall specify the reason for such
termination) and remove such Fiscal Agent and appoint a successor Fiscal Agent
by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
Fiscal Agent so removed, one copy to the successor Fiscal Agent, and one copy to
each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies. In all such
cases, the Fiscal Agent shall bear all costs of transfer to a successor Fiscal
Agent, such succession only to take effect after a successor Fiscal Agent has
been appointed. In the case of the initial Fiscal Agent, the Depositor may, but
is not required to, also remove the Trustee. In this case, the procedures and
liability for costs of such removal shall be the same as they are stated in
subsection (b) with respect to the Trustee.
(d) If at any time (i) the Paying Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5(b) and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Paying Agent shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
of the Paying Agent or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Paying Agent or of its property or affairs
for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii) a tax is
imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust or any REMIC Pool by any state
in which the Paying Agent is located solely because of the location of the
Paying Agent in such state; provided, however, that, if the Paying Agent agrees
to indemnify the Trust for such taxes, it shall not be removed pursuant to this
clause (iii), or (iv) the continuation of the Paying Agent as such would result
in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal, as applicable, of the rating by any
Rating Agency of any Class of Certificates with a rating as evidenced in writing
by the Rating Agencies, then the Depositor or the Trustee shall send a written
notice of termination to the Paying Agent (which notice shall specify the reason
for such termination) and remove such Paying Agent and the Depositor shall
appoint a successor Paying Agent by written instrument, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Paying Agent so removed, one copy to the
successor Paying Agent, and one copy to each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and the Rating Agencies. In all such cases, the Paying Agent shall bear all
costs of transfer to a successor Paying Agent, such succession only to take
effect after a successor Paying Agent has been appointed.
(e) The Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance
of the Certificates then outstanding may for cause upon 30 days' written notice
to the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, and to
the Depositor remove the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Paying Agent, as the
case may be, by such written instrument, signed by such Holders or their
attorney-in-fact duly authorized, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Depositor and one copy to the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the
Paying Agent, as the case may be, so removed; the Depositor shall thereupon use
its best efforts to appoint a successor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent,
as the case may be, in accordance with this Section.
(f) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the
Paying Agent, as the case may be, and appointment of a successor trustee, fiscal
agent or paying agent pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, fiscal
agent or paying agent, as the case may be, as provided in Section 7.7. Upon any
succession of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Paying
-156-
Agent under this Agreement, the predecessor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying
Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the payment of compensation and
reimbursement agreed to under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses
incurred. The Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Paying Agent shall not be liable
for any action or omission of any successor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying
Agent, as the case may be.
SECTION 7.7 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, FISCAL AGENT OR PAYING AGENT.
(a) Any successor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent appointed as
provided in Section 7.6 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor
and to its predecessor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent, as the case may
be, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent,
as the case may be, shall become effective and such successor Trustee, Fiscal
Agent or Paying Agent, as the case may be, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent herein. The predecessor Trustee,
Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent shall deliver (at such predecessor's own expense)
to the successor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent all Mortgage Files and
documents and statements related to the Mortgage Files held by it hereunder, and
the predecessor Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over (at
such predecessor's own expense) to the successor Trustee, the entire Trust,
together with all instruments of transfer and assignment or other documents
properly executed necessary to effect such transfer. The predecessor Trustee,
Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall also deliver all records
or copies thereof maintained by the predecessor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying
Agent in the administration hereof as may be reasonably requested by the
successor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent, as applicable, and shall
thereupon be discharged from all duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement. In addition, the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee, Fiscal Agent
or Paying Agent shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do such
other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and
confirm in the successor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent, as the case may
be, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the combined fees payable to a
successor Trustee exceed the Trustee Fee.
(b) No successor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such appointment
such successor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.5.

Agent or Paying Agent as provided in this Section, the successor Trustee, Fiscal

expenses of such mailing shall be borne by the successor Trustee, Fiscal Agent
or Paying Agent. If the successor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent fails to
mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent, the Master Servicer shall cause such
notice to be mailed at the expense of the successor Trustee, Fiscal Agent or
Paying Agent, as applicable.
-157-

AGENT. Any Person into which the Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Trustee,
Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent shall be a party, or any Persons succeeding to the
business of such Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent, shall be the successor
of such Trustee, Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, as
applicable, provided that such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 7.5, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

Certificates then outstanding shall each have the power from time to time to
appoint one or more Persons to act either as co-trustees jointly with the
Trustee or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding
title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage
Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal place of business
where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the
Trustee is advised by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that such separate
trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state in
which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of
otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any
state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in
which any portion of the Trust is located. The separate trustees, co-trustees,
or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of
all the Certificateholders, shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall
be specified in the instrument of appointment and shall be deemed to have
accepted the provisions of this Agreement; provided that no such appointment
shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee;
provided, further that the Trustee shall be liable for the actions of any
co-trustee or separate trustee appointed by it and shall have no liability for
the actions of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed by the Depositor or
the Certificateholders pursuant to this paragraph.
(b) The Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, may from time
to time appoint one or more independent third-party agents to perform all or any
portion of its administrative duties hereunder (i.e., collection and
distribution of funds, preparation and dissemination of reports, monitoring
compliance, etc.). The Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall
supervise and oversee such agents appointed by it. The terms of any arrangement
or agreement between the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, and
such agent, may be terminated, without cause and without the payment of any

be, is terminated in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, neither the
Trust nor the Certificateholders shall have any liability or direct obligation
to such agent. Notwithstanding the terms of any such agreement, the Trustee or
the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall remain at all times obligated and
liable to the Trust and the Certificateholders for performing its duties
hereunder.
-158-
(c) Every separate trustee, co-trustee, and custodian shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following
provisions and conditions:

Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be
exercised solely by the Trustee;
(ii) all other 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, co-trustee, or custodian
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or
as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder) the Trustee shall be incompetent
or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations, including the holding of title to the Trust or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction, shall be exercised and performed by
such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian;
(iii) no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or custodian
hereunder; and

Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount of
the Certificates then outstanding may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it or
them, if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this
Agreement.
(d) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article VII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its
acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property
specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or
separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this
Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to
the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the
Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate
trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall die, become incapable of acting, resign
or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall
vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without
the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
(f) No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
7.5 hereof and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required.
-159-

appointment of a successor custodian, the Trustee and the Custodian shall enter
into a custodial agreement.
SECTION 7.10 AUTHENTICATING AGENTS.
(a) The Paying Agent shall serve as the initial Authenticating Agent
hereunder for the purpose of executing and authenticating Certificates. Any
successor Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Depositor and must be a
corporation or national bank organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America or of any state and having a principal office and place

merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of the
Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.

30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor.
The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of the Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent and the
Depositor; provided that the Trustee may not terminate the Paying Agent as
Authenticating Agent unless the Paying Agent shall be removed as Paying Agent
hereunder. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or
in case at any time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10(a), the Trustee may appoint a
successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to
the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent. No such Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of Section 7.10(a). No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.

and Controlling Persons shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust for
any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and
related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses

however, that failure to give such notice to the Depositor, Master Servicer, the
Sellers, each other and the Holders of Certificates shall not affect the

case may be, rights to indemnification herein unless the Depositor's defense of
such claim on behalf of the Trust is materially prejudiced thereby;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee,

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.
-161-

Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
their respective directors, officers, employees or agents and Controlling

made in any such Private Placement Memorandum, Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement, Final Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information concerning the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent,

subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and
arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions of

herein. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make
such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on

Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this
Agreement as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Master
Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor servicer in
effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the
assignment of the servicing function and providing the Trustee and successor

to assume the Master Servicer's functions hereunder and the transfer to the
Trustee or such successor servicer of all amounts which shall at the time be or
should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account and
any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or

Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed to
be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in
making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the
failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash,
documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall be
reimbursed for all of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
obtaining such successor Master Servicer by the Trust within 30 days of the
Trustee's submission of an invoice with respect thereto, to the extent such
expenses have not been reimbursed by the Master Servicer as provided herein;
such expenses paid by the Trust shall be deemed to be an Additional Trust
Expense.

Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein and shall have
all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Special
Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided that, any
failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Special
Servicer's failure to provide required information shall not be considered a
default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall have no
liability relating to (i) the representations and warranties of the Special
Servicer contained in this Agreement or (ii) any obligation incurred by the
Special Servicer prior to its
-164-
termination or resignation. In the Trustee's capacity as such successor, the
Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability granted to the Special
Servicer in this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive all the compensation payable to the Special Servicer set
forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation the Special Servicer
Compensation (other than any Work-Out Fee payable pursuant to Section 9.11).
(d) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if the Trustee shall
be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established
commercial or multifamily mortgage finance institution, special servicer or
mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000,
and meeting such other standards for a successor Special Servicer as are set
forth in Section 9.21, and with respect to which Rating Agency Confirmation is
obtained, as the successor to the Special Servicer hereunder in the assumption
of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a special servicer as
Special Servicer hereunder. Pending any such appointment, the Trustee shall act
as the Special Servicer as hereinabove provided. Any entity designated by the
Trustee as successor Special Servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee;
provided that, such Affiliate must meet the standards for a successor Special
Servicer set forth herein. In connection with such appointment and assumption,
the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor
out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided
that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Special
Servicer under this Agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such
actions, consistent with this Agreement as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession. The Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any
successor Special Servicer in effecting the termination of the Special
Servicer's responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, notifying Mortgagors of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans of the
assignment of the special servicing function and providing the Trustee and
successor Special Servicer all documents and records in its possession in
electronic or other form reasonably requested by the successor Special Servicer
to enable the successor Special Servicer to assume the Special Servicer's
functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor Special
Servicer of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited
by the Special Servicer in the Certificate Account and any other account or fund
maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received by the

other successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by

hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Special
Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to
it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction
over the Special Servicer. The Trustee shall be reimbursed for all of its

Special Servicer by the Trust within 30 days of submission of an invoice with
respect thereto but only to the extent such expenses have not been reimbursed by
the Special Servicer as provided herein; and such expenses paid by the Trust
shall be deemed to be an Additional Trust Expense.

behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders as a whole,
and, solely as it relates to any A/B Mortgage Loan, for the benefit of the
holder of the related B Note and, solely as it relates to any Loan Pair, for the
benefit of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans, any B Note and

construed according to such definitions without regard to this sentence).
In connection with such servicing and administration, the Master
Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely recovery of principal and interest on
the Mortgage Notes in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders as a
whole (or, in the case of any A/B Mortgage Loan or Loan Pair, the
Certificateholders and the holder of the related B Note and Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan, all taken as a collective whole); provided, however, that nothing
herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the
Master Servicer of the collectability of payments on the Mortgage Loans or shall
be construed as impairing or adversely affecting any rights or benefits
specifically provided by this Agreement to the Master Servicer, including with
respect to Master Servicing Fees or the right to be reimbursed for Advances.

respect to a Mortgage Loan or (y) that a Mortgage Loan has become a
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, which notice shall identify the applicable Mortgage
Loan and, in the case of an event specified in clause (x) of this subclause (b)
above, the Servicing Transfer Event that occurred.
(c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is subject to an
Environmental Insurance Policy, for as long as it is not a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving
rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Master Servicer or
the Primary Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer to such effect and the
Master Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the
Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance
Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to
which the Trust is entitled thereunder. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket
costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any
such claim shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
(d) In connection with any extension of the Maturity Date of a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall give prompt written notice of such
extension to the insurer under the Environmental Insurance Policy and shall
execute such documents as are reasonably required by such insurer to procure an
extension of such policy (if available).
(e) The parties hereto acknowledge that each Serviced Pari Passu
Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and
conditions of the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement. With respect to
each Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Trust and the holders of
each Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan under the related Loan Pair Intercreditor
Agreement, including, with respect to the allocation of collections on or in
respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Mortgage
Loan in accordance with the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement. The
Master Servicer shall comply with the applicable provisions of each Loan Pair
Intercreditor Agreement, and if any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan are then Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the
Special Servicer shall comply with the applicable provisions of the related Loan
Pair Intercreditor Agreement.
(f) Promptly following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall send
written notice to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer, stating that,
as of the Closing Date, the Trustee is the holder of the applicable Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan, and directing such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer to
remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and directing such
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer to forward, deliver or otherwise make
available, as the case may be, to, the Master Servicer all reports, statements,
documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded,
delivered or otherwise made available to, such holder of the applicable
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement.

(g) Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be serviced and administered
by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Special Servicer pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Intercreditor Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement. If any Non-Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan that is an asset under
the trust created by the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and
Servicing Agreement is removed from the pool of mortgage loans created under
such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or if such
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement is otherwise
terminated, the servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be
transferred, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor
Agreement, and shall be serviced and administered by a successor servicing
agreement, which shall have similar provisions to such Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent set forth in the related
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement, and such transfer shall be
subject to the receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation.
SECTION 8.2 FIDELITY BOND AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS INSURANCE POLICY
MAINTAINED BY THE MASTER SERVICER. The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall
maintain in effect a Servicer Fidelity Bond and a Servicer Errors and Omissions
Insurance Policy. The Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and
Servicer Fidelity Bond shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer (unless the Master
Servicer self insures as provided below) and be in form and amount consistent
with the Servicing Standard. In the event that any such Servicer Errors and
Omissions Insurance Policy or Servicer Fidelity Bond ceases to be in effect, the
Master Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an
insurer or issuer meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of
such replacement. So long as the long-term rating of the Master Servicer is not
in any event less than "A" as rated by Fitch and "BBB" as rated by S&P,
respectively, the Master Servicer may self-insure for the Servicer Fidelity Bond
and the Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.
SECTION 8.3 MASTER SERVICER'S GENERAL POWER AND DUTIES.
(a) The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans and shall, subject to Sections 8.7, 8.18, 8.19, 8.27 and Article XII

(F) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders (and, if

related documents subject to and to the extent permitted by Section 8.18, (I) to

other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties, and (M) hold in accordance with the terms
of any Mortgage Loan and this Agreement, Defeasance Collateral. The foregoing
clauses (A) through (M) are referred to collectively as "Master Servicer Consent
Matters." Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer shall have no power to
(i) waive any Prepayment Premiums or (ii) consent to any modification of a Money
Term of a Mortgage Loan. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the
ability of the Master Servicer to lend money to (to the extent not secured, in
whole or in part, by any Mortgaged Property), accept deposits from and otherwise
generally engage in any kind of business or dealings with any Mortgagor as
though the Master Servicer was not a party to this Agreement or to the
transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that this sentence shall
not modify the Servicing Standard.
(b) The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans which have become and continue to be Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans, except as specifically provided herein. The Master
Servicer shall be required to make all
-173-
calculations and prepare all reports required hereunder with respect to such
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than calculations and reports expressly
required to be made by the Special Servicer hereunder) as if no Servicing
Transfer Event had occurred and shall continue to collect all Scheduled
Payments, make Servicing Advances as set forth herein, make P&I Advances as set
forth herein and render such incidental services with respect to such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans, all as are specifically provided for herein, but shall
have no other servicing or other duties with respect to such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall give notice within three Business Days
to the Special Servicer of any collections it receives from any Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans, subject to changes agreed upon from time to time by the
Special Servicer and the Master Servicer. The Special Servicer shall instruct
within one Business Day after receiving such notice the Master Servicer on how
to apply such funds. The Master Servicer within one Business Day after receiving
such instructions shall apply such funds in accordance with the Special
Servicer's instructions. Each Mortgage Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan shall continue as such until such Mortgage Loan becomes a
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall not be required to
initiate extraordinary collection procedures or legal proceedings with respect
to any Mortgage Loan or to undertake any pre-foreclosure procedures.
(c) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall sign the Power of Attorney attached hereto as Exhibit S-1. The Master
Servicer, shall promptly notify the Trustee of the execution and delivery of any
document on behalf of the Trustee under such Power-of-Attorney. From time to
time until the termination of the Trust, upon receipt of additional unexecuted
powers of attorney from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Trustee
shall execute and return to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Primary Servicer any additional powers of attorney and other documents necessary
or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, documents
relating to the management, operation, maintenance, repair, leasing or marketing
of the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for
any costs, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the
Trustee in connection with the intentional or negligent misuse of such power of
attorney by the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall without
the Trustee's written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding
solely under the Trustee's name without indicating the Master Servicer's or
Special Servicer's, as applicable, representative capacity, or (ii) knowingly
take any action that causes the Trustee to be registered to do business in any
state, provided, however, that the preceding clause (i) shall not apply to the
initiation of actions relating to a Mortgage Loan that the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is servicing pursuant to its
respective duties herein (in which case the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, shall give three (3) Business Days prior notice to
the Trustee of the initiation of such action). The limitations of the preceding
clause shall not be construed to limit any duty or obligation imposed on the
Trustee under any other provision of this Agreement.
(d) The Master Servicer shall make efforts consistent with the
Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the applicable Mortgage Loans
(other than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Properties).
-174-
(e) The Master Servicer (or the Primary Servicer on its behalf) shall
segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to any Mortgage
Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) constituting Escrow Amounts
separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an
"Escrow Account") into which all Escrow Amounts shall be deposited within one
(1) Business Day after receipt. Each Escrow Account shall be an Eligible
Account, except with respect to Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule VI for
which Escrow Accounts shall be transferred to Eligible Accounts at the earliest
date permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer
shall also deposit into each Escrow Account any amounts representing losses on
Eligible Investments pursuant to the immediately succeeding paragraph and any
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds which are required to be applied to
the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the related
Mortgage Loan. Each Escrow Account shall be maintained in accordance with the
requirements of the related Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the Servicing
Standard. Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made only:
(i) to effect timely payments of items constituting Escrow
Amounts for the related Mortgage Loan;
(ii) to transfer funds to the Certificate Account (or any
sub-account thereof) to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Advance (or the
Trust for any Unliquidated Advance) relating to Escrow Amounts, but only from
amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan which represent late
collections of Escrow Amounts thereunder;
(iii) for application to the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan and the
Servicing Standard;
(iv) to clear and terminate such Escrow Account upon the
termination of this Agreement or pay-off of the related Mortgage Loan;
(v) to pay from time to time to the related Mortgagor any
interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account if
such income is required to be paid to the related Mortgagor under applicable law
or by the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or otherwise to the Master Servicer; and
(vi) to remove any funds deposited in a Escrow Account that were
not required to be deposited therein or to refund amounts to the Mortgagors
determined to be overages.
Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, (i) the Master
Servicer may direct any depository institution or trust company in which the
Escrow Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein in one or more
Eligible Investments; provided, however, that such funds shall be either (x)
immediately available or (y) available in accordance with a schedule which will
permit the Master Servicer to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow
Account was established; (ii) the Master Servicer shall be entitled to all
income and gain realized from any such investment of funds as additional
servicing compensation; and (iii) the Master Servicer shall deposit from its own
funds in the applicable Escrow Account the amount of any loss incurred in
respect of any such investment of funds immediately upon the realization
-175-
of such loss. The Master Servicer shall not direct the investment of funds held
in any Escrow Account and retain the income and gain realized therefrom if the
terms of the related Mortgage Loan or applicable law permit the Mortgagor to be
entitled to the income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited
therein, and the Master Servicer shall not be required to invest amounts on
deposit in Escrow Accounts in Eligible Investments or Eligible Accounts to the
extent that the Master Servicer is required by either law or under the terms of
any related Mortgage Loan to deposit or invest (or the Mortgagor is entitled to
direct the deposit or investment of) such amounts in another type of investments
or accounts. In the event the Master Servicer is not entitled to direct the
investment of such funds, (1) the Master Servicer shall direct the depository
institution or trust company in which such Escrow Accounts are maintained to
invest the funds held therein in accordance with the Mortgagor's written
investment instructions, if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or applicable
law require the Master Servicer to invest such funds in accordance with the
Mortgagor's directions; and (2) in the absence of appropriate written
instructions from the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation
to, but may be entitled to, direct the investment of such funds; provided,
however, that in either event (i) such funds shall be either (y) immediately
available or (z) available in accordance with a schedule which will permit the
Master Servicer to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow Account was
established, and (ii) the Master Servicer shall have no liability for any loss
in investments of such funds that are invested pursuant to written instructions
from the Mortgagor.
(f) The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer to the Trustee and the Paying Agent and to each other under this
Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and
not of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
(g) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, if required by the terms of
the related Mortgage Loan, any Lock-Box Agreement or similar agreement, the
Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, one or more lock-box, cash management or similar accounts ("Lock-Box
Accounts") to be held outside the Trust and maintained by the Master Servicer in
accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage. No Lock-Box Account is
required to be an Eligible Account, unless otherwise required pursuant to the
related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer shall apply the funds
deposited in such accounts in accordance with terms of the related Mortgage Loan
documents, any Lock-Box Agreement and in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
(h) The Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer on its behalf shall
process all defeasances of Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the
Mortgage Loan documents, and shall be entitled to any fees paid relating
thereto. The Master Servicer shall not permit defeasance (or partial defeasance
if permitted under the Mortgage Loan) of any Mortgage Loan on or before the
second anniversary of the Closing Date unless such defeasance will not result in
an Adverse REMIC Event and the Master Servicer has received an opinion of
counsel to such effect and all items in the following sentence have been
satisfied. Subsequent to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Master
Servicer, in connection with the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan shall require (to
the extent it is not inconsistent with the Servicing Standard) that: (i) the
defeasance collateral consists of Qualifying Government Securities as defined in
Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that are
acceptable as defeasance collateral under the current guidelines of the Rating
Agencies, (ii) the Master Servicer has determined that the defeasance will not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (iii) either (A) the
-176-
related Mortgagor designates a Single-Purpose Entity (if the Mortgagor no longer
complies) to own the Defeasance Collateral (subject to customary qualifications)
or (B) the Master Servicer has established a Single-Purpose Entity to hold all
Defeasance Collateral relating to the Defeasance Loans, (iv) the Master Servicer
has requested and received from the Mortgagor (A) an opinion of counsel that the
Trustee will have a perfected, first priority security interest in such
Defeasance Collateral and (B) written confirmation from a firm of independent
accountants stating that payments made on such Defeasance Collateral in
accordance with the terms thereof will be sufficient to pay the subject Mortgage
Loan (or the defeased portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance)
in full on or before its Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on or
before its Anticipated Repayment Date) and to timely pay each subsequent
Scheduled Payment, (v) (A) a Rating Agency Confirmation is received if the
Mortgage Loan (together with any other Mortgage Loan with which it is
cross-collateralized) has a Principal Balance greater than the lesser of
$20,000,000 and 5% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance, unless such Rating
Agency has waived in writing such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement (or
such higher threshold, if any, as shall be published by the Rating Agencies) or
(B) if the Mortgage Loan is less than or equal to both of the amounts set forth
in clause (A) and the successor Mortgagor with respect to the subject Mortgage
Loan and its affiliates collectively have assumed Mortgage Loans comprising an
aggregate principal amount at least equal to the lesser of $20,000,000 and 5% of
the Aggregate Certificate Balance, either a Notice and Certification in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit Z (or such less restrictive forms, if any, as shall
be adopted by the Rating Agencies) or a Rating Agency Confirmation is received
from S&P and (vi) a Rating Agency Confirmation is received if the Mortgage Loan
is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans, by Principal Balance. Any customary
and reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Master Servicer pursuant to
this Section 8.3(h) shall be paid by the Mortgagor of the Defeasance Loan
pursuant to the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note or other pertinent document, if
so allowed by the terms of such documents.
The parties hereto acknowledge that if the payments described in
paragraph 39 of Exhibit 2 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements regarding the
obligation of a Mortgagor to pay the reasonable costs and expenses associated
with a defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the
Trust, including, but not limited to, rating agency fees, then the sole
obligation of the related Seller shall be to pay an amount equal to such
insufficiency or expense to the extent the related Mortgagor is not required to
pay such amount. Promptly upon receipt of notice of such insufficiency or unpaid
expense, the Master Servicer shall request the related Seller to make such
payment by deposit to the Certificate Account.
In the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall process any defeasance of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the original terms of the respective Mortgage Loan documents
following a request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer do so,
which request shall be accompanied by a waiver of any condition of defeasance
that an "event of default" under such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan not have
occurred or be continuing, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to any fees
paid relating to such defeasance. If such "event of default" is on account of an
uncured payment default, the Special Servicer will process the defeasance of
such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to any fees paid relating to such defeasance.
(i) The Master Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan which is
secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a ground lease, confirm
whether or not on or prior to
-177-
the date that is thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the Seller has
notified the related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the
Trust pursuant to this Agreement and informed such ground lessor that any
notices of default under the related Ground Lease should thereafter be forwarded
to the Master Servicer (as evidenced by delivery of a copy thereof to the Master
Servicer). The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the ground lessor if the
Seller has failed to do so by the thirtieth day after the Closing Date.
(j) Pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, the owner of any
B Note has agreed that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are
authorized and obligated to service and administer the B Note pursuant to this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall be entitled, during any period when the A
Note and B Note under any A/B Mortgage Loan do not constitute Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans, to exercise the rights and powers granted under the related
Intercreditor Agreement to the "Note A Holder" and/or the "Servicer" referred to
therein. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be entitled or required to
exercise the rights and powers granted to any "Note B Holder" as defined under
the related Intercreditor Agreement.
(k) Pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Intercreditor Agreement, the owner of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has agreed
that such owner's rights in, to and under such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are
subject to the servicing and all other rights of the applicable Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Special Servicer, and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer
and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer are authorized
and obligated to service and administer such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant
to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that the Master Servicer's obligations and responsibilities hereunder
and the Master Servicer's authority with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of the applicable
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Special Servicer with respect thereto under the related
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall use reasonable best efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to
monitor the servicing of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the applicable
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Special Servicer pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall enforce the rights of the Trustee
(as holder of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) under the related Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer shall take such
actions as it shall deem reasonably necessary to facilitate the servicing of any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master
Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer
including, but not limited to, delivering appropriate Requests for Release to
the Trustee and Custodian (if any) in order to deliver any portion of the
related Mortgage File to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master
Servicer or applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer under the
related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(l) Pursuant to each Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement, the owner of
the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan has agreed that the Master Servicer
and the Special
-178-
Servicer are authorized and obligated to service and administer the Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent are, to the extent
applicable, authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the owner or
owners of the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan a letter agreement dated as of
the Closing Date setting forth provisions as to, among other things, the timing
of remittances, advances and reports relating to the Serviced Companion Mortgage
Loan, and references herein to the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement
shall be construed to refer to such Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement and such
letter agreement taken together, as applicable. To the extent that the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Fiscal Agent have duties
and obligations under any such letter agreement, each successor master servicer,
successor special servicer, successor trustee and/or successor fiscal agent,
respectively, under this Agreement shall perform such duties and satisfy such
obligations.
SECTION 8.4 PRIMARY SERVICING AND SUB-SERVICING.
(a) The parties hereto (A) acknowledge that the Master Servicer has
delegated certain of its obligations and assigned certain of its rights under
this Agreement to the Primary Servicer pursuant to the Primary Servicing
Agreement; and (B) agree: (1) in addition to those obligations specifically
delegated by the Master Servicer to the Primary Servicer under the Primary
Servicing Agreement, the Primary Servicer shall also perform the Master
Servicer's obligations set forth in Section 2.1(d) of this Agreement as such
Section relates to the Mortgage Loans serviced by it; (2) in addition to those
rights specifically granted by the Master Servicer to the Primary Servicer under
the Primary Servicing Agreement, those rights set forth in Section 8.24 hereof
accruing to the benefit of the Master Servicer shall also accrue to the benefit
of the Primary Servicer; (3) any indemnification or release from liability set
forth in this Agreement accruing to the benefit of the Master Servicer shall
also, to the extent applicable, benefit the Primary Servicer; and (4) for each
notice, certification, report, schedule, statement or other type of writing that
a party hereto is obligated to deliver to the Master Servicer, such party shall
deliver to the Primary Servicer a copy of such notice, certification, report,
schedule, statement or other type of writing at the time and in the same manner
that any of the foregoing is required to be delivered to the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Primary Servicing Agreement or any other
provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and
liable to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Special Servicer, the
Certificateholders, the holder of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and the
holder of any B Note for servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans and
any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement to the same extent as if the Master Servicer was alone servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans. The
Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer shall supervise, administer, monitor,
enforce and oversee the servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loans by any
Sub-Servicer appointed by it. The terms of any arrangement or agreement between
the Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer and a Sub-Servicer shall provide
that such agreement or arrangement may be terminated, without cause and without
the payment of any termination fees, by the Trustee in the event such Master
Servicer or the Primary Servicer is terminated in accordance with this Agreement
or the Primary Servicing Agreement. In addition, none of the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Certificateholders, the holder of any Serviced Companion Mortgage
Loan or the holder of any B Note shall have any direct obligation or liability
(including, without limitation, indemnification obligations) with respect to any
Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer shall pay the costs of
enforcement against any of its
-179-
Sub-Servicers at its own expense, but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from
a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent that such
recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or
(ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys fees against the
party against whom such enforcement is directed. Notwithstanding the provisions
of any primary servicing agreement or sub-servicing agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer or a Sub-Servicer, or reference to
actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer or the
Primary Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders for the servicing and
administering of the applicable Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loans in accordance with (and subject to the limitations contained
within) the provisions of this Agreement or the Primary Servicing Agreement
without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of indemnification
from a Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and
conditions as if the Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer alone were
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans.
(b) Subject to the limitations of subsection (a), the Master Servicer
and the Primary Servicer may appoint one or more sub-servicers (each, a
"Sub-Servicer") to perform all or any portion of its duties hereunder for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, provided, however, that any
decision or recommendation involving the exercise of the Primary Servicer's
discretion as a "lender" under any loan document with respect to a Mortgage Loan
shall be exercised only by the Primary Servicer and may not be delegated to a
Sub-Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall enter into the Primary Servicing Agreement
with the Primary Servicer and shall not terminate such agreements except in
accordance with the terms thereof. To the extent consistent with the rights of
the Primary Servicer under this Agreement and the Primary Servicing Agreement,
but not in limitation of any other rights granted to the Primary Servicer in
this Agreement and/or in the Primary Servicing Agreement, the Primary Servicer
shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Sub-Servicer set forth herein.
Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement to the
contrary, (i) the Primary Servicer's rights and obligations under the Primary
Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the Master
Servicer's servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Primary
Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions;
(ii) any successor Master Servicer, including, without limitation, the Trustee
(if it assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed
to automatically assume and agree to the then current Primary Servicing
Agreement without further action upon becoming the successor Master Servicer and
(iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner which would increase the
obligations or limit the rights of the Primary Servicer hereunder and/or under
the Primary Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of the
Primary Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
If a task, right or obligation of Master Servicer is delegated to the
Primary Servicer under the Primary Servicing Agreement, and such task, right or
obligation involves or requires the consent of the Special Servicer, then the
Special Servicer shall accept the performance of such task, right or obligation
by the Primary Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
(including without limitation any time periods for consent or deemed consent to
be observed by the Special Servicer) as if Master Servicer were performing it.
-180-
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, each of the parties
hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Special Servicer is neither a party to
the Primary Servicing Agreement, nor is it bound by any provision of the Primary
Servicing Agreement. The Special Servicer hereby acknowledges the delegation of
rights and duties hereunder by the Master Servicer pursuant to the provisions of
the Primary Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 8.5 SERVICERS MAY OWN CERTIFICATES. The Master Servicer and
the Primary Servicer and any agent of the Master Servicer or Primary Servicer in
its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master
Servicer or such agent. Any such interest of the Master Servicer or the Primary
Servicer or such agent in the Certificates shall not be taken into account when
evaluating whether actions of the Master Servicer are consistent with its
obligations in accordance with the Servicing Standard regardless of whether such
actions may have the effect of benefiting the Class or Classes of Certificates
owned by the Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.6 MAINTENANCE OF HAZARD INSURANCE, OTHER INSURANCE, TAXES
AND OTHER. Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Master Servicer shall
use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the
related Mortgagor to maintain for each Mortgage Loan (other than any REO
Mortgage Loan) (A) a Standard Hazard Insurance Policy (that, if the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage so require or so permit
the holder of the Mortgage Loan to require, contains no exclusion for damages
due to any Act or Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Act of 2002) and which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation in an
amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of
improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the outstanding Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan and any related B Note or Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan, but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the
application of any co-insurance clause and (B) any other insurance coverage for
a Mortgage Loan which the related Mortgagor is required to maintain under the
related Mortgage, provided the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain
earthquake insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless such insurance was
required at origination and is available at commercially reasonable rates;
provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have the right, but not the
duty, to obtain, at the Trust's expense, earthquake insurance on any Mortgaged
Property securing a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an REO Property so long
as such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. If the related
Mortgagor does not maintain the insurance set forth in clauses (A) and (B)
above, then the Master Servicer shall cause such insurance to be maintained with
a Qualified Insurer. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations with respect to clause (A) above if the Mortgagor maintains, or the
Master Servicer shall have otherwise caused to be obtained, a Standard Hazard
Insurance Policy that is in compliance with the related Mortgage Loan documents,
and, if required by such Mortgage Loan documents or if such Mortgage Loan
documents permit the holder of the Mortgage Loan to require, the Mortgagor pays,
or the Master Servicer shall have otherwise caused to be paid, the premium
required by the related insurance provider that is necessary to avoid an
exclusion in such policy against "acts of terrorism" as defined by the Terrorism
Risk Insurance Act of 2002.
Each Standard Hazard Insurance Policy maintained with respect to any
Mortgaged Property that is not an REO Property shall contain, or have an
accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. If the
improvements on the Mortgaged
-181-
Property are located in a designated special flood hazard area by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency in the Federal Register, as amended from time to
time (to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan or as required by
law), the Master Servicer (with respect to any Mortgaged Property that is not an
REO Property) shall cause flood insurance to be maintained. Such flood insurance
shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available
for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program,
if the area in which the improvements on the Mortgaged Property are located is
participating in such program. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer
under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Mortgage Loan) shall be deposited in the Certificate Account.
Any cost (such as insurance premiums and insurance broker fees but not
internal costs and expenses of obtaining such insurance) incurred by the Master
Servicer in maintaining any insurance pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall not,
for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders
or remittances to the Paying Agent for their benefit, be added to the Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage
Loan permit such cost to be added to the outstanding Principal Balance thereof.
Such costs shall be paid as a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer, subject
to Section 4.4 hereof.
Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer shall have no
obligation beyond using its reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing
Standard to enforce such insurance requirements. Furthermore, the Master
Servicer shall not be required in any event to cause the Mortgagor to maintain
or itself obtain insurance coverage beyond what is available on commercially
reasonable terms at a cost customarily acceptable (in each case, as determined
by the Master Servicer, which shall be entitled to rely, at its sole expense, on
insurance consultants in making such determination, consistent with the
Servicing Standard) and consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, that
the Master Servicer shall be obligated to cause the Mortgagor to maintain or
itself obtain insurance against property damage resulting from terrorism or
similar acts if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related
Mortgage so require unless the Master Servicer determines that (i) such
insurance is not available at any rate or (ii) such insurance is not available
at commercially reasonable rates and such hazards are not at the time commonly
insured against for properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property and
located in or around the region in which such related Mortgaged Property is
located; provided, that such determination must be made by the Master Servicer
not less frequently (but need not be made more frequently) than annually, but in
any event, shall be made on the approximate date on (but not later than sixty
(60) days thereafter) which the Master Servicer receives notice of the renewal,
replacement or cancellation of coverage (as evidenced by the related insurance
policy or insurance certificate). Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in
the preceding sentence, if the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related
Mortgage require the Mortgagor to maintain insurance against property damage
resulting from terrorism or similar acts, the Master Servicer shall prior to
availing itself of any limitation described in that sentence with respect to any
Mortgage Loan (or any component loan of an A/B Mortgage Loan) that has a
principal balance in excess of $2,500,000, obtain the approval or disapproval of
the Special Servicer and the Operating Adviser (subject to the penultimate
paragraph of Section 9.39). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on the
determination of the Special Servicer made in connection with such approval or
disapproval. The Special Servicer shall decide whether to withhold or grant
-182-
such approval in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If any such approval
has not been expressly denied within seven (7) Business Days of receipt by the
Special Servicer and Operating Adviser from the Master Servicer of the Master
Servicer's determination and analysis and all information reasonably requested
by the Special Servicer and reasonably available to the Master Servicer in order
to make an informed decision, such approval shall be deemed to have been
granted. The Master Servicer shall notify the holder of the related Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan of any determination that it makes pursuant to clauses
(i) and (ii) above with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations as set forth in this Section 8.6 either (i) if the Master Servicer
shall have obtained and maintained a master force placed or blanket insurance
policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the applicable Mortgage Loans,
any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and any B Note serviced by it, it being
understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms
substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by
comparable servicers consistent with the Servicing Standard, and provided that
such policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer or (ii) if the Master Servicer,
provided that its long-term rating is not less than "A" by Fitch and "A-" by
S&P, self-insures for its obligations as set forth in the first paragraph of
this Section 8.6. In the event that the Master Servicer shall cause any Mortgage
Loan to be covered by such a master force placed or blanket insurance policy,
the incremental cost of such insurance allocable to such Mortgage Loan (i.e.,
other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not
any Mortgage Loan is then covered thereby), if not borne by the related
Mortgagor, shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. If such
policy contains a deductible clause, the Master Servicer shall, if there shall
not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying
with this Section 8.6 and there shall have been a loss that would have been
covered by such policy, deposit in the Certificate Account the amount not
otherwise payable under such master force placed or blanket insurance policy
because of such deductible clause to the extent that such deductible exceeds (i)
the deductible under the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) if there is no deductible
limitation required under the Mortgage Loan, the deductible amount with respect
to insurance policies generally available on properties similar to the related
Mortgaged Property which is consistent with the Servicing Standard, and deliver
to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate describing the calculation of such
amount. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and any B Note, the Master
Servicer agrees to present, on its behalf and on behalf of the Trustee and the
holders of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or any B Note, claims under any
such master force placed or blanket insurance policy.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain
accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the
status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a
lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the status of insurance premiums
payable with respect thereto. From time to time, the Master Servicer (other than
with respect to REO Mortgage Loans) shall (i) obtain all bills for the payment
of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) except in the case of
Mortgage Loans under which Escrow Amounts are not held by the Master Servicer,
effect payment of all such bills, taxes and other assessments with respect to
such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable penalty or termination date,
in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Amounts as allowed under the
terms of the related Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgagor fails to make any such
payment on a timely basis or collections from the Mortgagor are insufficient to
pay any
-183-
such item before the applicable penalty or termination date, the Master Servicer
in accordance with the Servicing Standard shall use its reasonable efforts to
pay as a Servicing Advance the amount necessary to effect the payment of any
such item prior to such penalty or termination date, subject to Section 4.4
hereof. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent as the case may be, in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on
the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums and ground rents shall,
for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to
the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of
such Mortgage Loans permit such costs to be added to the outstanding Principal
Balances of such Mortgage Loans.
SECTION 8.7 ENFORCEMENT OF DUE-ON-SALE CLAUSES; ASSUMPTION AGREEMENTS;
DUE-ON-ENCUMBRANCE CLAUSE.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer receives a request from a
Mortgagor (or other obligor) pursuant to the provisions of any Mortgage Loan,
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note (other than a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that expressly permits, subject
to any conditions set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents, the assignment of
the related Mortgaged Property to, and assumption of such Mortgage Loan,
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note by, another Person, the Master
Servicer shall obtain relevant information for purposes of evaluating such
request. For the purpose of the foregoing sentence, the term `expressly permits'
shall include outright permission to assign, permission to assign upon
satisfaction of certain conditions or prohibition against assignment except upon
the satisfaction of stated conditions. If the Master Servicer recommends to
approve such assignment, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Special
Servicer (and solely with respect to any A/B Mortgage Loan, the holder of the B
Note) a copy of such recommendation and the materials upon which such
recommendation is based (which information shall consist of the information to
be included in the Assignment and Assumption Submission to Special Servicer, in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit U) and (A) the Special Servicer shall have
the right hereunder to grant or withhold consent to any such request for such
assignment and assumption in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan,
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note and this Agreement, and the Special
Servicer shall not unreasonably withhold such consent and any such decision of
the Special Servicer shall be in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (B)
failure of the Special Servicer to notify the Master Servicer in writing, within
five (5) Business Days following the Master Servicer's delivery of the
recommendation described above and the complete Assignment and Assumption
Submission to Special Servicer on which the recommendation is based, of its
determination to grant or withhold such consent shall be deemed to constitute a
grant of such consent and (C) the Master Servicer shall not permit any such
assignment or assumption unless (i) it has received the written consent of the
Special Servicer or such consent has been deemed to have been granted as
described in the preceding sentence and (ii) with respect to any A/B Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer has obtained the approval of the holder of the related
B Note, to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement, and
in accordance with any procedures therefor set forth in Section 9.40. The
Special Servicer hereby acknowledges the delegation of rights and duties
hereunder by the Master Servicer pursuant to the provisions of the Primary
Servicing Agreement. If the Special Servicer withholds consent pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, it shall provide the Master Servicer or the
Primary Servicer with a written statement and a verbal explanation as to its
reasoning and analysis. Upon consent or deemed consent by the Special Servicer
to such
-184-
proposed assignment and assumption, the Master Servicer shall process such
request of the related Mortgagor (or other obligor) and shall be authorized to
enter into an assignment and assumption or substitution agreement with the
Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been or is proposed to be
conveyed, and/or release the original Mortgagor from liability under the related
Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note and substitute as
obligor thereunder the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been or
is proposed to be conveyed; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall
not enter into any such agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would
result in an Adverse REMIC Event or create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that
is senior to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Master Servicer shall not enter into such an
assumption or substitution agreement unless the credit status of the prospective
new Mortgagor (or other obligor) is in conformity to the terms of the related
Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, B Note or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
documents. In making its recommendation, the Master Servicer shall evaluate such
conformity in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer shall
notify the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Special Servicer of any assignment
and assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to this Section
8.7(a). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to (as additional servicing
compensation) 50% of any assumption fee collected from a Mortgagor in connection
with an assignment and assumption or substitution of a non-Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan executed pursuant to this Section 8.7(a) and the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to (as additional special servicing compensation) the other
50% of such fee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer acknowledges that
the Master Servicer has delegated certain tasks, rights and obligations to the
Primary Servicer with respect to Post Closing Requests (as defined in the
Primary Servicing Agreement) pursuant to Section 8.4 of this Agreement. The
Primary Servicing Agreement classifies certain Post Closing Requests as Category
1 Requests and grants the Primary Servicer certain authority to evaluate and
process such requests in accordance with this Agreement, the Primary Servicing
Agreement and applicable Mortgage Loan documents.
With respect to a Category 1 Request that involves a condition, term
or provision that requires, or specifies a standard of, consent or approval of
the applicable Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan documents, the Primary
Servicing Agreement provides for the determination of materiality of such
condition, term or provision requiring approval or consent by the Master
Servicer or the Primary Servicer and the referral of such condition, term or
provision to a Special Servicer for consent in accordance with the terms of the
Primary Servicing Agreement upon a determination of materiality. The Special
Servicer acknowledges such provisions. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall
grant the Primary Servicer greater authority, discretion or delegated rights
over Post Closing Requests than are set forth in the Primary Servicing
Agreement.
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any
liability, and each of them shall be indemnified by the Trust for any liability
to the Mortgagor or the proposed assignee, for any delay in responding to
requests for assumption, if the same shall occur as a result of the failure of
the Rating Agencies, or any of them, to respond to such request in a reasonable
period of time.
-185-
(b) Other than with respect to the assignment and assumptions referred
to in subsection (a) above, if any Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Non-Serviced 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 ownership interest in the related Mortgagor, or (ii) provides that such
Mortgage Loan may not be assumed, or ownership interests in the related
Mortgagor may not be transferred, without the consent of the related mortgagee
in connection with any such sale or other transfer, then, the Master Servicer
shall review and make a determination to either (i) enforce such due-on-sale
clause or (ii) if in the best economic interest of the Trust, waive the effect
of such provision, such waiver to be processed in the same manner as in Section
8.7(a) (including the Special Servicer consent provisions); provided, however,
that if the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan (together with any other
Mortgage Loan with which it is cross-collateralized) at such time equals or
exceeds 5% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance or exceeds $35,000,000 or is one
of the then current top 10 loans (by Principal Balance) in the pool, then prior
to waiving the effect of such provision, the Master Servicer shall obtain Rating
Agency Confirmation (including with respect to any securities which are rated by
a Rating Agency evidencing direct beneficial interests in the A Notes and any B
Note) regarding such waiver. In connection with the request for such Rating
Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver to Fitch and
S&P a memorandum outlining its analysis and recommendation in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, together with copies of all relevant documentation. The
Master Servicer shall promptly forward copies of the assignment and assumption
documents relating to any Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, the Paying
Agent and the Trustee, and the Master Servicer shall promptly thereafter forward
such documents to the Rating Agencies. The Special Servicer and the Master
Servicer shall each be entitled to (as additional compensation) 50% of any fee
collected from a Mortgagor in connection with granting or withholding such
consent (other than any such fee payable in connection with any Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan).
The parties hereto acknowledge that, if the payments described in
paragraph 39 of Exhibit 2 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements regarding the
obligation of a Mortgagor to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of obtaining
any Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with an assumption of the related
Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Trust, then it shall be the sole
obligation of the related Seller to pay an amount equal to such insufficiency to
the extent the related Mortgagor is not required to pay them. Promptly upon
receipt of notice of such insufficiency, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, shall request the related Seller to make such payment
by deposit to the Certificate Account. The Master Servicer may not waive such
payment by the Mortgagor and shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such
amounts from the Mortgagor to the extent the related mortgage loan documents
require the related Mortgagor to pay such amounts.
(c) The Master Servicer shall have the right to consent to any
transfers of an interest of a Mortgagor, to the extent such transfer is to a
party or entity specifically named or described under the terms of the related
Mortgage Loan, including any consent to transfer to any subsidiary or affiliate
of Mortgagor or to a person acquiring less than a majority interest in the
Mortgagor; provided, however, that if (i) the Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan (together with any other Mortgage Loan with which it is
cross-collateralized) at such time equals or exceeds 5% of the Aggregate
Certificate Balance or exceeds $35,000,000 or is one of the then current top 10
loans (by Principal Balance) in the pool, and (ii) the transfer is of an
interest in the
-186-
Mortgagor greater than 49%, then prior to consenting, the Master Servicer shall
obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation regarding such consent, the costs of which
to be payable by the related Mortgagor to the extent provided for in the
Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to collect and
receive from Mortgagors any customary fees in connection with such transfers of
interest as additional servicing compensation.
(d) The Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the holder
of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and the holder of any B Note shall
execute any necessary instruments in the form presented to it by the Master
Servicer (pursuant to subsection (b)) for such assignments and assumptions
agreements. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by such documents,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall cause the
originals of the assignment and assumption agreement, the release (if any), or
the modification or supplement to the Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the
Trustee except to the extent such documents have been submitted to the recording
office, in which event the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver copies of such
documents to the Trustee and the Special Servicer.
(e) If any Mortgage Loan (other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) which 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
additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or a
lien on an ownership interest in the Mortgagor; or
(ii) requires the consent of the Mortgagee to the creation of any
such additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property
or a lien on an ownership interest in the Mortgagor,
then, as long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust, the Master
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the Mortgagee of record, shall exercise
(or, subject to Section 8.18, waive its right to exercise) any right it may have
with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon, or
(y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any such additional lien or other
encumbrance, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, the following
paragraph and Section 8.18 hereof. The Master Servicer shall not waive the
effect of such provision without first obtaining Rating Agency Confirmation
(including with respect to any securities which are rated by a Rating Agency
evidencing direct beneficial interests in the A Notes and any B Note) regarding
such waiver and complying with the provisions of the next succeeding paragraph;
provided, however, that such Rating Agency Confirmation shall only be required
if the applicable Mortgage Loan (x) represents 2% or more of the Principal
Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans held by the Trust, has a Principal Balance
of more than $20,000,000 or is one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans based on
Principal Balance or (y) has a Loan-to-Value Ratio (which includes the
indebtedness to be secured by such additional lien or other encumbrance and any
other loans secured by the related Mortgaged Property or interests in the
related Mortgagor) that is greater than or equal to 85% or a Debt Service
Coverage Ratio (which includes debt service on the indebtedness to be secured by
such additional lien or other encumbrance and any other loans secured by the
related Mortgaged Property or interests in the related Mortgagor) that is less
than 1.2x.
-187-
Without limiting the generality of the preceding paragraph, in the
event that the Master Servicer receives a request for a waiver of any
"due-on-encumbrance" clause, the Master Servicer shall obtain relevant
information for purposes of evaluating such request for a waiver. If the Master
Servicer recommends to waive such clause, the Master Servicer shall provide to
the Special Servicer a copy of such recommendation and the materials upon which
such recommendation is based (which information shall consist of the information
to be included in the Additional Lien, Monetary Encumbrance and Mezzanine
Financing Submission Package to the Special Servicer, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit V) and (A) the Special Servicer shall have the right hereunder
to grant or withhold consent to any such request in accordance with the terms of
the Mortgage Loan and this Agreement, and the Special Servicer shall not
unreasonably withhold such consent and any such decision of the Special Servicer
shall be in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (B) failure of the Special
Servicer to notify the Master Servicer in writing, within five (5) Business Days
following the Master Servicer's delivery of the recommendation described above
and the complete Additional Lien, Monetary Encumbrance and Mezzanine Financing
Submission Package to the Special Servicer on which the recommendation is based,
of its determination to grant or withhold such consent shall be deemed to
constitute a grant of such consent and (C) the Master Servicer shall not permit
any such waiver unless it has received the written consent of the Special
Servicer or such consent has been deemed to have been granted as described in
the preceding sentence. If the Special Servicer withholds consent pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, it shall provide the Master Servicer with a written
statement and a verbal explanation as to its reasoning and analysis. Upon
consent or deemed consent by the Special Servicer to such proposed waiver, the
Master Servicer shall process such request of the related Mortgagor subject to
the other requirements set forth above.
SECTION 8.8 TRUSTEE TO COOPERATE; RELEASE OF TRUSTEE MORTGAGE FILES.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the complete defeasance of a
Mortgage Loan, satisfaction or discharge in full of any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the purchase of an A Note by the holder of a B Note pursuant to
the related Intercreditor Agreement, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a
notification that payment in full (or such payment, if any, in connection with
the satisfaction and discharge in full of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan)
will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, and upon notification
by the Master Servicer in the form of a certification (which certification shall
include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Certificate Account have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer
and a request for release of the Trustee Mortgage File in the form of Exhibit C
hereto the Trustee shall promptly release the related Trustee Mortgage File to
the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master
Servicer the deed of reconveyance or release, satisfaction or assignment of
mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage, as directed by
the Master Servicer together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of
cancellation thereon and, if the related Mortgage has been recorded in the name
of MERS or its designee, the Master Servicer shall take all necessary action to
reflect the release of such Mortgage on the records of MERS. The provisions of
the immediately preceding sentence shall not, in any manner, limit or impair the
right of the Master Servicer to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee,
the Certificateholders, the holder of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the
holder of any B Note or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction,
cancellation or assignment without recourse, representation or warranty, or of
partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or any B
Note, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for
-188-
the benefit of the Certificateholders, the holder of any Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan and the holder of any B Note. No expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable
to the Distribution Account but shall be paid by the Master Servicer except to
the extent that such expenses are paid by the related Mortgagor in a manner
consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage and applicable law. From time
to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing of any Mortgage Loan,
including for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance, any
Servicer Fidelity Bond or Errors and Omissions Policy, or for the purposes of
effecting a partial or total release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of
the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Trustee Mortgage File,
the Trustee shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and the delivery to the
Trustee of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer, in the form of
Exhibit C hereto, release the Trustee Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be.
SECTION 8.9 DOCUMENTS, RECORDS AND FUNDS IN POSSESSION OF MASTER
SERVICER TO BE HELD FOR THE TRUSTEE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee, to the extent required by this
Agreement, all documents and instruments coming into the possession of the
Master Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee and the
Paying Agent for any funds received or otherwise collected thereby, including
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All
Servicer Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of,
the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans (or any B Note or Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan), whether from the collection of principal and interest
payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, including any funds
on deposit in the Certificate Account (or any A/B Loan Custodial Account or any
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Account), shall be held by the Master
Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders (or the
holder of any B Note or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, as applicable) and
shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to
the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer agrees that it
shall not create, incur or subject any Servicer Mortgage Files or Trustee
Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Certificate Account or any
Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to
the Trustee or the Paying Agent, to any claim, lien, security interest,
judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal
action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Servicer Mortgage
Files or Trustee Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with,
a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
receive from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.10 SERVICING COMPENSATION.
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee, which shall be payable by the
Trust from amounts held in the Certificate Account (and from the related A/B
Loan Custodial Account to the extent related solely to a B Note and from the
related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Account to the extent related
solely to a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan) or otherwise collected from
-189-
the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 5.2. The Master Servicer shall be
required to pay to the Primary Servicer its Primary Servicing Fees, which shall
be payable by the Trust from amounts as provided in Section 5.1(c), unless
retained by the Primary Servicer from amounts transferred to the Master Servicer
in accordance with the terms of the Primary Servicing Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall be required to pay to the holders of the rights to the Excess
Servicing Fees, the Excess Servicing Fees, which shall be payable by the Trust
as provided in Section 5.1(c), unless otherwise retained by the holders of such
rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any of the holders
of the right to receive Excess Servicing Fees resigns or is no longer Master
Servicer or Primary Servicer, as applicable, for any reason, it will continue to
have the right to receive its portion of the Excess Servicing Fee, and any of

related Mortgage Loan do not require the Master Servicer to approve such
release, then the Special Servicer shall within five Business Days provide

failure of the Mortgagor to satisfy conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan
documents), the Master Servicer shall provide to the Special Servicer a copy of
the Master Servicer's recommendation and the relevant information obtained or
prepared by the Master Servicer in connection therewith; provided, that (A) the
Special Servicer shall have the right hereunder to grant or withhold consent to
any such proposed modification, waiver, amendment or consent, and such consent
of the Special Servicer shall not be unreasonably withheld, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, (B) failure of the Special Servicer to notify the Master
Servicer, within five Business Days following the Master Servicer's delivery of
the recommendation described above, of its determination to grant or withhold
such consent shall be deemed to constitute a grant of such consent and (C) the
Master Servicer shall not enter into any such proposed modification, waiver,
amendment or consent unless it has received the written consent of the Special
Servicer or such consent has been deemed to have been granted as described
above. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master
Servicer shall not be required to obtain or request the consent of the Special
Servicer in connection with any modification, waiver or amendment, or granting
its consent to transactions, under one or more of the Mortgage Loans that in
each case the Master Servicer has determined (in accordance with the Servicing
Standard) is immaterial. In any event, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify
the Special Servicer of any material modification, waiver, amendment or consent
executed by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.18(a)(i) and provide
to the Special Servicer a copy thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 8.18, if the Mortgage Loan documents require a Mortgagor to pay
a fee for an assumption, modification, waiver, amendment or consent that would
be due or partially due to the Special Servicer, then the Master Servicer shall
not waive the portion of such fee due to the Special Servicer without the
Special Servicer's approval.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer acknowledges that
the Master Servicer has delegated certain tasks, rights and obligations to the
Primary Servicer with respects to Post Closing Requests (as defined in the
Primary Servicing Agreement) pursuant to Section 8.4 of this Agreement. The
Primary Servicing Agreement classifies certain Post Closing Requests as Category
1 Requests and grants the Primary Servicer certain authority to evaluate
-199-
and process such requests in accordance with this Agreement, the Primary
Servicing Agreement and applicable Mortgage Loan documents.
With respect to a Category 1 Request that involves a condition, term
or provision that requires, or specifies a standard of, consent or approval of
the applicable Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan documents, the Primary
Servicing Agreement provides for determination of materiality of such condition,
term or provision requiring approval or consent by the Master Servicer or the
Primary Servicer and the referral of such condition, term or provision to the
Special Servicer for consent in accordance with the terms of the Primary
Servicing Agreement upon a determination of materiality. The Special Servicer
acknowledges such provisions. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall grant
the Primary Servicer greater authority, discretion or delegated rights over Post
Closing Requests than are set forth in the Primary Servicing Agreement.
(ii) The Master Servicer may, without the consent of the Special
Servicer, extend the maturity date of any Balloon Mortgage Loan that is not a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to a date that is not more than 60 days
following the original Maturity Date, if in the Master Servicer's sole judgment
exercised in good faith (and evidenced by an Officer's Certificate), a default
in the payment of the Balloon Payment is reasonably foreseeable and such
extension is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to the Holders and
the holders of the related B Note and Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan (as a
collective whole) on a net present value basis than liquidation of such Mortgage
Loan and the Mortgagor has obtained an executed written commitment (subject only
to satisfaction of conditions set forth therein) for refinancing of the Mortgage
Loan or purchase of the related Mortgaged Property. The Master Servicer shall
process all such extensions and shall be entitled to (as additional servicing
compensation) 100% of any extension fees collected from a Mortgagor with respect
to any such extension.
(b) The Master Servicer may require, in its discretion (unless
prohibited or otherwise provided in the Mortgage Loan documents), as a condition
to granting any request by a Mortgagor for any consent, modification, waiver or
amendment, that such Mortgagor pay to the Master Servicer a reasonable and
customary modification fee to the extent permitted by law; provided that the
collection of such fee shall not be permitted if collection of such fee would
cause a "significant modification" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860G-2(b) of the Mortgage Loan). The Master Servicer shall be entitled
to (as additional servicing compensation) 100% of any Modification Fees
collected from a Mortgagor in connection with a consent, waiver, modification or
amendment of a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan executed or granted pursuant
to Section 8.3 or this Section 8.18. The Master Servicer may charge the
Mortgagor for any costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and rating
agency fees) incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (and any
amounts incurred by the Special Servicer shall be reimbursed to the Special
Servicer) in connection with any request for a modification, waiver or
amendment. The Master Servicer agrees to use its best reasonable efforts in
accordance with the Servicing Standard to collect such costs, expenses and fees
from the Mortgagor, provided that the failure or inability of the Mortgagor to
pay any such costs and expenses shall not impair the right of the Master
Servicer to cause such costs and expenses (but not including any modification
fee), and interest thereon at the Advance Rate, to be paid or reimbursed by the
Trust as a Servicing Advance (to the extent not paid by the Mortgagor). If the
Master Servicer believes that the costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
to be incurred by the Master Servicer in connection with any request for a
modification, waiver or amendment will
-200-
result in a payment or reimbursement by the Trust, then the Master Servicer
shall notify the Special Servicer.
(c) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Paying Agent,
the Operating Adviser and the Special Servicer of any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan permitted by it under this Section
and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such
modification, waiver or amendment, promptly following the execution thereof
except to the extent such documents have been submitted to the applicable
recording office, in which event the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver
copies of such documents to the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall not agree to
any modification, waiver, or amendment of any Money Term of a Mortgage Loan or
any term of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall notify
the holder of the B Note and the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan of any
modification of the monthly payments of an A/B Mortgage Loan or a Loan Pair, as
the case may be, and such monthly payments shall be allocated in accordance with
the related Intercreditor Agreement or Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement, as
applicable.
(d) If the Mortgage Loan documents relating to a Mortgage Loan provide
for certain conditions to be satisfied prior to the Master Servicer releasing
additional collateral for the Mortgage Loan (e.g., the release, reduction or
termination of reserves or letters of credit or the establishment of reserves),
then the Master Servicer shall be permitted to waive any such condition without
obtaining the consent of the Special Servicer, provided that (1) the aggregate
amount of the related releases or establishments is no greater than the smaller
of 10% of the outstanding unpaid Principal Balance or $75,000 or (2) the
condition to be waived is deemed to be non-material in accordance with the
Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the Special
Servicer's consent or except as provided in the specific Mortgage Loan
documents, the Master Servicer shall not waive: (1) a requirement for any such
additional collateral to exist, or (2) a lock box requirement.
(e) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Primary Servicer will be
required to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with this
Agreement unless the terms of this Agreement specifically requires the Master
Servicer to do so, and if so required by the terms of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer and the Primary Servicer shall not be permitted to waive (i) the Rating
Agency Confirmation requirement or (ii) the obligation of a Mortgagor to pay all
or any portion of any fee payable in connection with obtaining the Rating Agency
Confirmation.
SECTION 8.19 SPECIALLY SERVICED MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) The Master Servicer shall send a written notice to the Special
Servicer, the Operating Adviser, the Rating Agencies, the Paying Agent, the
Trustee and solely as it relates to any A/B Mortgage Loan, to the holder of the
related B Note and solely as it relates to any Loan Pair, to the holder of the
related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, within two Business Days after
becoming aware of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to a Mortgage Loan,
which notice shall identify the related Mortgage Loan and set forth in
reasonable detail the nature and relevant facts of such Servicing Transfer Event
and whether such Mortgage Loan is covered by an Environmental Insurance Policy
(and for purposes of stating whether such Mortgage Loan is covered by an
Environmental Insurance Policy the Master Servicer may rely on Schedule X
-201-
attached hereto) and, except for the Rating Agencies, the Paying Agent and the
Trustee, shall be accompanied by a copy of the Servicer Mortgage File. The
Special Servicer shall not be liable for its failure to deliver the notice set
forth in Section 9.36(a) if such failure is caused by its failure to receive the
written notice set forth above.
(b) Prior to the transfer of the servicing of any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall notify the
related Mortgagor of such transfer in accordance with the Servicing Standard
(the form and substance of such notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Special Servicer).
(c) Any calculations or reports prepared by the Master Servicer to the
extent they relate to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans shall be based on
information supplied to the Master Servicer in writing by the Special Servicer
as provided hereby. The Master Servicer shall have no duty to investigate or
confirm the accuracy of any information provided to it by the Special Servicer
and shall have no liability for the inaccuracy of any of its reports due to the
inaccuracy of the information provided by the Special Servicer.
(d) On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
provide to the Special Servicer, in order for the Special Servicer to comply
with its obligations under this Agreement, such information (and in the form and
medium) as the Special Servicer may reasonably request in writing from time to
time, provided that (i) the Master Servicer shall not be required to produce any
ad hoc reports or incur any unusual expense or effort in connection therewith
and (ii) if the Master Servicer elects to provide such ad hoc reports, it may
require the Special Servicer to pay a reasonable fee to cover the costs of the
preparation thereof.
SECTION 8.20 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE MASTER
SERVICER.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to and
covenants with the Trustee and the Paying Agent, as of the date hereof:
(i) the Master Servicer is duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing as a national banking association under the laws of the United
States, and shall be and thereafter remain, in compliance with the laws of each
State in which any Mortgaged Property is located to the extent necessary to
perform its obligations under this Agreement, except where the failure to so
qualify or comply would not adversely affect the Master Servicer's ability to
perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement;
(ii) the Master Servicer has the full power and authority to
execute, deliver, perform, and to enter into and consummate all transactions and
obligations contemplated by this Agreement. The Master Servicer has duly and
validly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Master Servicer; and
this Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof
by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agent and the
Special Servicer, evidences the valid and binding obligation of the Master
Servicer enforceable against the Master Servicer in accordance with its terms
subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally as from time to time in effect, and to
general principles
-202-
of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law);
(iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the fulfillment of or
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not (1) result
in a breach of any term or provision of its charter or by-laws or (2) conflict
with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default
under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a
party or by which it may be bound, or any law, governmental rule, regulation, or
judgment, decree or order applicable to it of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, which
materially and adversely affects its ability to perform its obligations under
this Agreement;
(iv) no litigation is pending or, to the Master Servicer's

service the Mortgage Loans or to perform any of its other obligations hereunder
in accordance with the terms hereof;
(v) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by it of, or compliance by it with, this Agreement, or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or if any such consent,
approval, authorization or order is required, it has obtained the same or will
obtain the same prior to the time necessary to perform its obligations under
this Agreement, and, except to the extent in the case of performance, that its
failure to be qualified as a foreign corporation or licensed in one or more
states is not necessary for the performance by it of its obligations hereunder;
and
(vi) the performance of the services by the Master Servicer
contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the
Master Servicer and the Master Servicer possesses all licenses, permits and
other authorizations necessary to perform its duties hereunder.
(b) It is understood that the representations and warranties set forth
in this Section 8.20 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
(c) Any cause of action against the Master Servicer arising out of the
breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall accrue
upon the giving of written notice to the Master Servicer by any of the Trustee
or the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall give prompt notice to the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Primary Servicer and the Special Servicer of the
occurrence, or the failure to occur, of any event that, with notice or the
passage of time or both, would cause any representation or warranty in this
Section to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect.
SECTION 8.21 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. Any Person into which the Master
Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Master Servicer
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Master
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Master Servicer hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
-203-
any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that each of the Rating Agencies
provides a Rating Agency Confirmation (including with respect to any securities
rated by a Rating Agency evidencing direct beneficial ownership interests in any
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note). If the conditions to the provisions
in the foregoing sentence are not met, the Trustee may terminate the Master
Servicer's servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant hereto, such termination to
be effected in the manner set forth in Sections 8.28 and 8.29.
SECTION 8.22 RESIGNATION OF MASTER SERVICER.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.22(b) hereof, the Master
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
unless it determines that the Master Servicer's duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No
such resignation shall become effective until a successor servicer designated by
the Trustee, with the consent of the Depositor and the Paying Agent, shall have
assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement and Rating Agency Confirmation (including with respect to any
securities rated by a Rating Agency evidencing interests in the A Notes and any
B Note) shall have been obtained. Notice of such resignation shall be given
promptly by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
(b) The Master Servicer may resign from the obligations and duties
imposed on it, upon 30 days notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, provided
that (i) a successor servicer (w) is available, (x) has assets of at least
$15,000,000, (y) is willing to assume the obligations, responsibilities, and
covenants to be performed hereunder by the Master Servicer on substantially the
same terms and conditions, and for not more than equivalent compensation to that
herein provided and (z) assumes all obligations under the Primary Servicing
Agreement; (ii) the Master Servicer bears all costs associated with its
resignation and the transfer of servicing; and (iii) Rating Agency Confirmation
is obtained with respect to such servicing transfer, as evidenced by a letter
delivered to the Trustee by each Rating Agency.

The Master Servicer shall have the right without the prior written consent of
the Trustee to (A) delegate or subcontract with or authorize or appoint anyone,
or delegate certain duties to other professionals such as attorneys and
appraisers, as an agent of the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 8.4) to
perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and
carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder or (B) assign and delegate all of
its duties hereunder; provided, however, that with respect to clause (B), (i)
the Master Servicer gives the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Primary
Servicer, the holder of the B Note (only if such assignment/delegation relates
to the related A/B Mortgage Loan), the holder of the Serviced Companion Mortgage
Loan (only if such assignment/delegation relates to the related Loan Pair) and
the Trustee notice of such assignment and delegation; (ii) such purchaser or
transferee accepting such assignment and delegation executes and delivers to the
Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such assignment, which contains
an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities,
obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer, with like effect as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement and the Primary Servicing
Agreement; (iii) the purchaser or transferee has assets in excess of
$15,000,000; (iv) such assignment and
-204-
delegation is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation; and (v) the Depositor
consents to such assignment and delegation, such consent not be unreasonably
withheld. In the case of any such assignment and delegation in accordance with
the requirements of subclause (B) of this Section, the Master Servicer shall be
released from its obligations under this Agreement, except that the Master
Servicer shall remain liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it
as the Master Servicer hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the conditions to
such assignment set forth in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the above,
the Master Servicer may appoint the Primary Servicer and Sub-Servicers in
accordance with Section 8.4 hereof.
SECTION 8.24 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE MASTER SERVICER AND
OTHERS.
(a) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the
holders of the Certificates, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the
Paying Agent, the Placement Agents, the Underwriters, the holder of any Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan, the holder of any B Note or the Special Servicer for
any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith,
or using reasonable business judgment, consistent with the Servicing Standard;
provided that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such
person against any breach of a representation or warranty contained herein or
any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in its performance of duties under the Agreement or by
reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Master
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may
rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person (including, without limitation, the Special Servicer)
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall not be under
any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not
incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion
undertake any such action which it may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in
order to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the Trustee in the
Mortgage Loans, the interests of the holder of any B Note or the interests of
the holder of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan (subject to the Special
Servicer's servicing of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as contemplated
herein), or shall undertake any such action if instructed to do so by the
Trustee. In such event, all legal expenses and costs of such action shall be
expenses and costs of the Trust, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor as Servicing Advances as provided by Section 5.2, subject to
the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.
(b) In addition, the Master Servicer shall have no liability with
respect to, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Master Servicer and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement. Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall
have the right to rely on information provided to it by the Special Servicer and
Mortgagors, and will have no duty to investigate or verify the accuracy thereof.
Neither the Master Servicer, nor any director, officer, employee, agent or
Affiliate, shall be personally liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by any officer, unless it shall be proved that the Master Servicer or such
officer was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. Neither the Master
Servicer nor any director, officer, employee, agent or Affiliate, shall be
personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith
and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Agreement.
-205-
(c) The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to incur any
liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which relate to or arise
from any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the
Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent, Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
in this Agreement. The Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master
Servicer from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other
expenses which relate to or arise from any such breach of representation,
warranty or covenant to the extent the Master Servicer is unable to recover such
amounts from the Person in breach.
(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein:
(i) the Master Servicer may rely, and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer's certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, financial statement,
agreement, appraisal, bond or other document (in electronic or paper format)
reasonably believed or in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) the Master Servicer may consult with counsel, and any
written advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of
Counsel;
(iii) the Master Servicer shall not be personally liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this
Agreement; and
(iv) the Master Servicer, in preparing any reports hereunder, may
rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
information (financial or other), statement, certificate, document, agreement,
covenant, notice, request or other paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine
and provided by any Mortgagor or manager of a Mortgaged Property.
(e) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent,
the Paying Agent and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and held harmless
against any loss, liability or expense including reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred in connection with any legal action relating to the Trustee's, Fiscal
Agent's, the Paying Agent's or the Special Servicer's, as the case may be,
respective willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
its respective duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of its
respective duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred
by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
any of the Master Servicer's duties hereunder or by reason of negligent
disregard of the Master Servicer's obligations and duties hereunder. The Master
Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Special
Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or
the Mortgage Loans entitling the Master Servicer to indemnification hereunder,
whereupon the Trustee, the Paying Agent, or the Special Servicer, in each case,
to the extent the claim is related to its respective willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence, may assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer) and pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including counsel fees, and
-206-
promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered
against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the
Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Special Servicer shall not affect any rights
that the Master Servicer may have to indemnification under this Agreement or
otherwise, unless the Trustee's, the Paying Agent's or the Special Servicer's
defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. Such indemnity shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the
Master Servicer hereunder. Any payment hereunder made by the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Fiscal Agent or the Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph to
the Master Servicer shall be paid from the Trustee's, the Paying Agent's, Fiscal
Agent's or Special Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust
therefor except to the extent achieved through subrogation as provided in this
Agreement. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the
Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Fiscal Agent or the Special Servicer shall be
reimbursed by the party so paid, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a
final judgment that the conduct of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Fiscal
Agent or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, was (x) not culpable or (y)
found to not have acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.
SECTION 8.25 INDEMNIFICATION; THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS.
(a) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Master Servicer (the "Master Servicer Indemnified Parties") shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Trust out of collections on, and other
proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans and any B
Notes, as provided in the following paragraph, against any and all claims,
losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments
and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (collectively, "Master
Servicer Losses") incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this
Agreement, any Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans, any B
Notes, any REO Property or the Certificates or any exercise of any right under
this Agreement reasonably requiring the use of counsel or the incurring of
expenses other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the
Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder.
Except as provided in the following sentence, indemnification for
Master Servicer Losses described in the preceding paragraph (including in the
case of such Master Servicer Losses that relate primarily to the administration
of the Trust, to any REMIC Pool or to any determination respecting the amount,
payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC provisions of the Code or the
actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense) shall be paid out of collections on,
and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans as a whole but not out of collections
on, or other proceeds of, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or any B Note. In
the case of any such Master Servicer Losses that do not relate primarily to the
administration of the Trust, to any REMIC Pool or to any determination
respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC
provisions of the Code or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense:
(1) if such Master Servicer Losses relate to a Loan Pair, then such
indemnification shall be paid (x) first, out of collections on, and other
proceeds of, such Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan, in the relative proportions provided for in the applicable
Intercreditor Agreement and (y) if the collections and proceeds described in
subclause (x) of this clause (1) are not sufficient to so indemnify the Master
Servicer
-207-
Indemnified Parties on a current basis, then the balance of such indemnification
shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans
as a whole; and
(2) if such Master Servicer Losses relate to any A/B Mortgage Loan,
then such indemnification shall be paid (x) first, if and to the extent
permitted under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, out of collections on,
and other proceeds of, the B Note or B Notes related to such A/B Mortgage Loan,
(y) if the collections and proceeds described in subclause (x) of this clause
(2) are not sufficient to so indemnify the Master Servicer Indemnified Parties
on a current basis, then the balance of such indemnification shall be paid out
of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan
and the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, in the relative proportions provided
for in the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement and (z) if the aggregate
collections and proceeds described in subclauses (x) and (y) of this clause (2)
are not sufficient to so indemnify the Master Servicer Indemnified Parties on a
current basis, then the balance of such indemnification shall be paid out of
collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans as a whole.
The Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer) and out of the Trust pay
all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and out of the
Trust promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be
entered against it or them in respect of such claim. The indemnification
provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The Trustee,
the Paying Agent or the Master Servicer shall promptly make from the Certificate
Account (and, if and to the extent that the amount due shall be paid from
collections on, and other proceeds of, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or
any B Note, as described above, out of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage
Loan Custodial Account or the related A/B Loan Custodial Account) any payments
certified by the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the Paying Agent as required
to be made to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.25.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Special Servicer, the Trust, the Depositor, the Paying Agent, and any
director, officer, employee, agent or Controlling Person thereof, and hold them
harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees
and expenses that the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Special Servicer, the
Depositor, the Paying Agent and the Trust may sustain arising from or as a
result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
any of the Master Servicer's duties hereunder or by reason of negligent
disregard of the Master Servicer's obligations and duties hereunder (including a
breach of such obligations a substantial motive of which is to obtain an
economic advantage from being released from such obligations), and if in any
such situation the Master Servicer is replaced, the parties hereto agree that
the amount of such claims, losses, penalties, fines, legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses shall at least
equal the incremental costs, if any, of retaining a successor servicer. The
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or the
Depositor, as applicable, shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a
claim is made by any Person with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans
entitling the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Depositor, the Special Servicer,
the Paying Agent or the Trust to indemnification under this Section 8.25(b),
whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Special
Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Depositor, as applicable) and pay all expenses
in connection therewith, including counsel
-208-
fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may
be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify
the Master Servicer shall not affect any rights the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent,
the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Paying Agent or the Trust may have to
indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer's
defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification
provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Special
Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee. Any expenses incurred or
indemnification payments made by the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed by the
party so paid, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final,
non-appealable judgment that the conduct of the Master Servicer was not culpable
or that the Master Servicer did not act with willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence.
(c) The Primary Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent
thereof shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any and all
claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Primary
Servicing Agreement (but only if, and to the extent that, the Master Servicer
would have been entitled to indemnification therefor under this Agreement if it
were directly servicing the Mortgage Loan), any Mortgage Loans, any REO Property
or the Certificates or any exercise of any right under this Agreement or the
Primary Servicing Agreement (limited as set forth above) reasonably requiring
the use of counsel or the incurring of expenses other than any loss, liability
or expense incurred by reason of the Primary Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of duties thereunder. The Primary
Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Primary Servicer) and out of the Trust pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including counsel fees, and out of the Trust promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or
them in respect of such claim. The indemnification provided herein shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the Primary Servicing Agreement. The
Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Master Servicer shall promptly make from the
Certificate Account any payments certified by the Primary Servicer to the
Trustee and the Paying Agent as required to be made to the Primary Servicer
pursuant to this Section 8.25.
(d) Any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer
shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against the Trust's pro rata
share of any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees
and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses
incurred in connection with any legal action relating to any Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and relating
to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (but excluding any such losses allocable to
the related Non-Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans), reasonably requiring the use
of counsel or the incurring of expenses other than any losses incurred by reason
of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of its duties under the related
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(e) The Primary Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Special Servicer, the Trust, the Depositor, the Paying Agent, and any
director, officer, employee, agent or Controlling Person thereof, and hold them
harmless against any and all
-209-
claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that the Trustee,
the Fiscal Agent, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Paying Agent and the
Trust may sustain arising from or as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Primary Servicer's duties
under this Agreement, the Primary Servicing Agreement or by reason of negligent
disregard of the Primary Servicer's obligations and duties thereunder (including
a breach of such obligations a substantial motive of which is to obtain an
economic advantage from being released from such obligations), and if in any
such situation the Primary Servicer is replaced, the parties hereto agree that
the amount of such claims, losses, penalties, fines, legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses shall at least
equal the incremental costs, if any, of retaining a successor primary servicer.
The Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or the
Depositor, as applicable, shall immediately notify the Primary Servicer if a
claim is made by any Person with respect to this Agreement, the Primary
Servicing Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Trust to
indemnification under this Section 8.25(d), whereupon the Primary Servicer shall
assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or the
Depositor, as applicable) and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or
decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any
failure to so notify the Primary Servicer shall not affect any rights the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Paying Agent
or the Trust may have to indemnification under this Agreement, the Primary
Servicing Agreement or otherwise, unless the Primary Servicer's defense of such
claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Primary Servicing
Agreement and the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, the Fiscal
Agent, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee. Any expenses
incurred or indemnification payments made by the Primary Servicer shall be
reimbursed by the party so paid, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a
final, non-appealable judgment that the conduct of the Primary Servicer was not
culpable or that the Primary Servicer did not act with willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence.
SECTION 8.26 EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING
(a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in
connection with the Trust's satisfaction of its reporting requirements under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Within 15 days
after each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall prepare, execute and file
on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K customary for similar securities as
required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder; provided that the Depositor
shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the
Certificates. The Paying Agent shall file each Form 8-K with a copy of the
related Monthly Certificateholders Report attached thereto. If the Depositor
directs that any other attachments are to be filed with any Form 8-K, such
attachments shall be delivered to the Paying Agent in XXXXX-compatible form or
as otherwise agreed upon by the Paying Agent and the Depositor, at the
Depositor's expense, and any necessary conversion to XXXXX-compatible format
will be at the Depositor's expense. Prior to March 30th of each year, commencing
in 2006 (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission), the Paying Agent shall prepare
-210-
and file on behalf of the Trust a Form 10-K, in substance as required by
applicable law or applicable interpretations thereof of the staff of the
Commission. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits each annual statement of
compliance described under Sections 8.12 and 9.18 and each accountant's report
described under Sections 8.13 and 9.19, in each case to the extent they have
been timely delivered to the Paying Agent. If they are not so timely delivered,
the Paying Agent shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as
exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Paying Agent. Each
Form 10-K shall also include any Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification required to be
included therewith, as described in paragraph (b) of this Section 8.26. Neither
the Paying Agent nor the Master Servicer shall have any liability with respect
to any failure to properly prepare, execute or file such periodic reports
resulting from the Master Servicer's or the Paying Agent's inability or failure
to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct. Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Paying
Agent is able to do so under applicable law, the Paying Agent shall file a Form
15 relating to the automatic suspension of reporting in respect of the Trust
under the Exchange Act.
(b) The Form 10-K shall include any certification (the "Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Certification") required to be included therewith pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated
thereunder (including any interpretations thereof by the Commission's staff) and
a copy of such Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification shall be provided to the Rating
Agencies. The Special Servicer and the Paying Agent (each, a "Performing Party")
shall provide to the Person who signs the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification (the
"Certifying Person") a certification (each, a "Performance Certification"), in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit CC, on which the Certifying Person, the
entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer (if the Certifying
Person is an individual), and such entity's officers, directors and Affiliates
(collectively with the Certifying Person, "Certification Parties") can rely. In
addition, in the event that any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan is deposited
into a commercial mortgage securitization, each Performing Party shall provide
to the Person who signs the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification with respect to such
commercial mortgage securitization a Performance Certification (which shall
address the matters contained in the Performance Certification, but solely with
respect to the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan) on which such Person,
the entity for which the Person acts as an officer (if the Person is an
individual), and such entity's officers, directors and Affiliates can rely. The
Master Servicer shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust. In
addition, if the Performing Party is the Special Servicer, such Performing Party
shall execute a reasonable reliance certificate to enable the Certification
Parties to rely upon each annual statement of compliance provided pursuant to
Section 9.18, and shall include a certification that each such annual statement
of compliance discloses any deficiencies or defaults described to the certified
public accountants of such Performing Party to enable such accountants to render
the certificate provided for in Section 9.19. In the event any Performing Party
is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such
Performing Party shall provide a Performance Certification to the Certifying
Person pursuant to this Section 8.26(b) with respect to the period of time it
was subject to this Agreement.
(c) Each Performing Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each
Certification Party from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of
(i) an actual breach by the applicable Performing Party of
-211-
its obligations under this Section 8.26 or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on the part of the Performing Party in the performance of such
obligations.
(d) Nothing contained in this Section 8.26 shall be construed to
require any party to this Agreement other than the Master Servicer, or any of
such party's officers, to execute any Form 10-K or any Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Certification. The failure of any party to this Agreement other than the Master
Servicer, or any of such party's officers, to execute any Form 10-K or any
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification shall not be regarded as a breach by such party of
any of its obligations under this Agreement. This Section 8.26 may be amended by
the parties hereto pursuant to Section 13.3 for purposes of complying with the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 or for purposes of designating the Certifying Person
without any Opinions of Counsel, Officer's Certificates, Rating Agency
Confirmations or the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement.
SECTION 8.27 COMPLIANCE WITH REMIC PROVISIONS AND GRANTOR TRUST
PROVISIONS. The Master Servicer shall act in accordance with this Agreement and
the REMIC Provisions and related provisions of the Code in order to create or
maintain the status of the REMIC Pools created hereby as REMICs and the Class P
Grantor Trust created hereby as a grantor trust under the Code. The Master
Servicer shall not take any action or (A) cause any REMIC Pool to take any
action that could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC under the
Code or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC Pool (including,
but not limited to, the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code
Section 860F(a)(2) or on prohibited contributions pursuant to Section 860G(d))
or (B) cause the Class P Grantor Trust to take any action that could (i)
endanger its status as a grantor trust or (ii) result in the imposition of any
tax upon the Class P Grantor Trust unless the Trustee shall have received a
Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such
action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status
or result in the imposition of such tax. The Master Servicer shall comply with
the provisions of Article XII hereof.
SECTION 8.28 TERMINATION. The obligations and responsibilities of the
Master Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Master Servicer
to make payments to the Paying Agent as set forth in Section 8.29 and the
obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Fiscal
Agent, the Special Servicer and the Trust) shall terminate (i) on the date which
is the later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining outstanding (and final distribution to the Certificateholders) or
(B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution to the
Certificateholders), (ii) if an Event of Default described in clauses
8.28(a)(iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) has occurred, 60 days following the date on
which the Trustee or Depositor gives written notice to the Master Servicer that
the Master Servicer is terminated or (iii) if an Event of Default described in
clauses 8.28(a)(i), (ii), (vii), (viii), (ix) or (x) has occurred, immediately
upon the date on which the Trustee or the Depositor gives written notice to the
Master Servicer that the Master Servicer is terminated. After any Event of
Default, the Trustee (i) may elect to terminate the Master Servicer by providing
such notice, and (ii) shall provide such notice if holders of Certificates
representing more than 25% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance of all
Certificates so direct the Trustee.
(a) "Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:
-212-
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Paying
Agent or otherwise make any payment required to be remitted by the Master
Servicer under the terms of this Agreement, including any required Advances; or
(ii) any failure by the Master Servicer to make a required
deposit to the Certificate Account which continues unremedied for one Business
Day following the date on which such deposit was first required to be made; or
(iii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to
observe or perform in any material respect any other of the duties, covenants or
agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement which
continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee; provided, however, that
if the Master Servicer certifies to the Trustee and the Depositor that the
Master Servicer is in good faith attempting to remedy such failure, such cure
period will be extended to the extent necessary to permit the Master Servicer to
cure such failure; provided, further that such cure period may not exceed 90
days; or
(iv) any breach of the representations and warranties contained
in Section 8.20 hereof that materially and adversely affects the interest of any
holder of any Class of Certificates and that continues unremedied for a period
of 30 days after the date on which notice of such breach, requiring the same to
be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or
the Trustee, provided, however, that if the Master Servicer certifies to the
Trustee and the Depositor that the Master Servicer is in good faith attempting
to remedy such breach, such cure period will be extended to the extent necessary
to permit the Master Servicer to cure such breach; provided, further that such
cure period may not exceed 90 days; or
(v) the Trustee shall receive notice from Fitch to the effect
that the continuation of the Master Servicer in such capacity would result in
the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by Fitch
to any Class of Certificates; or
(vi) the Master Servicer has been downgraded to a servicer rating
level below "CMS3" (or its equivalent) by Fitch; or
(vii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any
present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the
appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official
in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its
affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or
order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60
days; or
(viii) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any
bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of
or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(ix) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to
pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of
any applicable
-213-
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations, or
take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing; or
(x) the Master Servicer is removed from S&P's approved master
servicer list and is not reinstated within 60 days and the ratings then assigned
by S&P to any Classes of Certificates are downgraded, qualified or withdrawn
(including, without limitation, being placed on "negative credit watch") in
connection with such removal.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Event of Default of the
Master Servicer occurs primarily by reason of the occurrence of a "Primary
Servicing Default" (as hereinafter defined) (that is, it would not have occurred
but for (a) the occurrence of such Primary Servicing Default and (b) the Master
Servicer failure to cause the cure of such event) and the Trustee (or the
Trustee at the direction of the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 8.28
hereof) elects to terminate the Master Servicer, then Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National
Association shall have the right to elect that the successor Master Servicer,
upon its succession, enter into a primary servicing agreement with Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, National Association with respect to all Mortgage Loans as to which that
Primary Servicing Default occurred, so long as the initial Master Servicer is on
the approved list of commercial mortgage loan servicers maintained by S&P and
the initial Master Servicer has a commercial loan master servicer rating of at
least "CMS3" (or its equivalent) by Fitch or a commercial loan primary servicer
rating of at least "CPS3" (or its equivalent) by Fitch, and such agreement shall
be substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto (but as if Xxxxx Fargo Bank,
National Association were the Primary Servicer or Sub-Servicer thereunder and
with applicable servicing fees and excess fees as specified on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule); and, in the case of an agreement in the form of Exhibit G-1,
thereupon Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association shall be deemed to have been
granted the rights and deemed to have assumed the obligations granted to or
imposed on the "Primary Servicer" hereunder as to such Mortgage Loans (and under
the Primary Servicing Agreement). For purposes of the preceding sentence, a
"Primary Servicing Default" means an "event of default" of the Primary Servicer
under the Primary Servicing Agreement of Principal Global Investors, LLC. If the
Master Servicer is terminated based upon an Event of Default set forth in clause
(i) (as to the obligation to make P&I Advances), (v), (vi) or (x) of Section
8.28(a), then the Master Servicer shall have the right to enter into a primary
servicing agreement with the successor Master Servicer with respect to all
Mortgage Loans that are not then subject to the Primary Servicing Agreement, so
long as the terminated Master Servicer is on the approved list of commercial
mortgage loan servicers maintained by S&P.
(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 8.28, (A) if
any Event of Default on the part of the Master Servicer occurs that affects a
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or (B) for so long as any Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan is serviced hereunder and is included in a securitization that is
rated by Xxxxx'x, if (x) the Trustee shall receive notice from Xxxxx'x to the
effect that the continuation of the Master Servicer in such capacity would
result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned
by Xxxxx'x to any class of certificates issued in such securitization or (y)
Xxxxx'x has placed one or more Classes of Certificates on "watch status" in
contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal (and such "watch status"
placement shall not have been withdrawn by Xxxxx'x within 60 days of the date
that the Trustee obtained such actual knowledge) and, in the case of either of
clauses (x) or (y), citing servicing concerns with the Master Servicer as the
sole or material factor in such rating
-214-
action, and in either case, the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated in
accordance with this Section 8.28, then, at the request of the holder of such
affected Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall require the Master
Servicer to appoint, within 30 days of the Trustee's request, a Sub-Servicer
(or, if the related Mortgage Loan is currently being sub-serviced, to replace,
within 30 days of the Trustee's request, the then-current Sub-Servicer with a
new Sub-Servicer) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan only, but as to no
other Mortgage Loan. In connection with the Master Servicer's appointment of a
Sub-Servicer at the request of the Trustee in accordance with this Section
8.28(c), the Master Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation (such
Rating Agency Confirmation to be an expense of the requesting Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan holder). The related Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that
any Sub-Servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of the Trustee
in accordance with this Section 8.28(c) shall be responsible for all duties, and
shall be entitled to all compensation, of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement with respect to the subject Loan Pair.
SECTION 8.29 PROCEDURE UPON TERMINATION.
(a) Notice of any termination pursuant to clause (i) of the first
paragraph of Section 8.28, specifying the Master Servicer Remittance Date upon
which the final transfer by the Master Servicer to the Paying Agent shall be
made, shall be given promptly in writing by the Master Servicer to the Paying
Agent no later than the later of (i) five Business Days after the final payment
or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or (ii) the sixth day of the
month of such final distribution. Upon any such termination, the duties of the
Master Servicer (other than the obligation of the Master Servicer to pay to the
Paying Agent the amounts remaining in the Certificate Account as set forth below
and the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the Trust and the
Fiscal Agent as provided herein) shall terminate and the Master Servicer shall
transfer to the Paying Agent the amounts remaining in the Certificate Account
(and any sub-account) after making the withdrawals permitted to be made pursuant
to Section 5.2 and shall thereafter terminate the Certificate Account and any
other account or fund maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
(b) On the date specified in a written notice of termination given to
the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section
8.28, or on the date on which a written notice of termination is given to the
Master Servicer pursuant to clause (iii) of the first paragraph of Section 8.28
all authority, power and rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall terminate (except
for any rights relating to unpaid servicing compensation or unreimbursed
Advances or, if the terminated Master Servicer is Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National
Association, its rights to the Excess Servicing Fee); provided that in no event
shall the termination of the Master Servicer be effective until a successor
servicer shall have succeeded the Master Servicer as successor servicer, subject
to approval by the Rating Agencies, notified the Master Servicer of such
designation and such successor servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
obligations and responsibilities hereunder and under the Primary Servicing
Agreement, as set forth in an agreement substantially in the form hereof, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and, in the circumstances set forth in the last
sentence of Section 8.28(b), entered into a new primary servicing agreement with
the predecessor Master Servicer in substantially the same form as Exhibit AA
attached hereto. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Trustee may not
succeed the Master Servicer as servicer until and unless it has satisfied the
provisions that would apply to a Person succeeding to the business of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 8.22(b) hereof. Notwithstanding the
-215-
foregoing sentence, in the event that the Master Servicer is terminated as a
result of an event described in Section 8.28(a)(vii), 8.28(a)(viii) or
8.28(a)(ix), the Trustee shall act as successor servicer immediately upon
delivery of a notice of termination to the Master Servicer and shall use
commercially reasonable efforts within 90 days of assuming the duties of the
Master Servicer, either to satisfy the conditions of Section 8.22(b) hereof or
to transfer the duties of the Master Servicer to a successor servicer who has
satisfied such conditions. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents or otherwise. The Master
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Fiscal
Agent in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and
rights hereunder as Master Servicer including, without limitation, notifying
Mortgagors of the assignment of the servicing function and providing the Trustee
all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it
to enable the successor servicer designated by the Trustee to assume the Master
Servicer's functions hereunder and to effect the transfer to such successor for
administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have
been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account and any other
account or fund maintained or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage
Loans.
(c) If the Master Servicer receives a written notice of termination
pursuant to clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 8.28 relating solely
to an Event of Default set forth in clause (v), (vi) or (x) of Section 8.28(a),
and if the Master Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate "request
for proposal" materials within five Business Days after receipt of such written
notice of termination, then the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such
"request for proposal" materials provided by the Master Servicer) solicit good
faith bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement
from at least three but no more than five Qualified Bidders or, if three
Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many persons as the Trustee
can determine are Qualified Bidders. At the Trustee's request, the Master
Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit
such bids. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible if less than three
Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to service the Mortgage Loans under
this Agreement.
(d) Each bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder, as a
condition of its bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer,
and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof and the terms of the Primary
Servicing Agreement, not later than 30 days after termination of the Master
Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the
highest cash bid (or such other Qualified Bidder as the Master Servicer may
direct) (the "Successful Bidder") to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder.
The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as
successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection
therewith to deliver the amount of the Successful Bidder's cash bid to the
Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified
by the Trustee no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the date specified
for the assignment and assumption of the servicing rights hereunder.
(e) Upon the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights
hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder and receipt of such cash bid, the
Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Master Servicer
the amount of such cash bid received from the
-216-
Successful Bidder (net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
obtaining such bid and transferring servicing) by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account specified by the terminated Master Servicer no
later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the date specified for the assignment
and assumption of the servicing rights hereunder.
(f) If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as
successor Master Servicer within 30 days after the termination of the Master
Servicer hereunder or no Successful Bidder was identified within such 30-day
period, the Trustee shall have no further obligations under Section 8.29(c) and
may act or may select another successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in
accordance with Section 8.29(b).
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.29, the
successor master servicer must assume all of the obligations of the terminated
Master Servicer under the Primary Servicing Agreement as a condition precedent
to its becoming Master Servicer hereunder.
For purposes of the foregoing provisions of Section 8.29(c), the
phrase "rights to service" shall be construed to exclude those servicing rights
and duties as to which Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association has made an
election for the execution of a primary servicing agreement as contemplated by
Section 8.28(b).
SECTION 8.30 Operating Adviser Contact with Master Servicer and
Special Servicer.
No less often than on a monthly basis or as agreed upon by the Master
Servicer and the Operating Adviser, each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall, without charge, make a Servicing Officer available to answer
questions from the Operating Adviser regarding the performance and servicing of
the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible. The Primary Servicer shall
make a Servicing Officer available on any such call to answer questions from the
Operating Adviser regarding the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties that it

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF SPECIALLY SERVICED MORTGAGE
LOANS BY SPECIAL SERVICER
SECTION 9.1 DUTIES OF SPECIAL SERVICER.
(a) Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement, for and on
behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders as a whole,
and, solely as it relates to any A/B Mortgage Loan, for the benefit of the
holder of the related B Note and, solely as it relates to any Loan Pair, for the
benefit of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the
Special Servicer shall service the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and manage
the related REO Properties in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the
terms of this Agreement. Certain of the provisions of this Article IX make
explicit reference to their applicability to Mortgage Loans, any Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan and any B Note; notwithstanding
-217-
such explicit references, references in this Article IX to "Mortgage Loans"
shall be construed, unless otherwise specified, to refer also to such B Note and
such Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan (but any other terms that are defined in
Article I and used in this Article IX shall be construed according to such
definitions without regard to this sentence).
(b) The Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer and
provide the Master Servicer with the information reasonably requested by the
Master Servicer, in writing, to the extent required to allow the Master Servicer
to perform its servicing obligations with respect to the Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the Special Servicer shall
not be required to produce any ad hoc reports or incur any unusual expense or
effort in connection therewith and (ii) if the Special Servicer elects to
provide such ad hoc reports, the Special Servicer may require the Master
Servicer to pay a reasonable fee to cover the costs of the preparation thereof.
The Special Servicer's obligations with respect to the servicing of any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related REO Properties shall terminate
when such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan has become a Rehabilitated Mortgage
Loan, unless and until another Servicing Transfer Event with respect to such
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan occurs.
(c) The Special Servicer shall send a written notice to the Master
Servicer, the Operating Adviser and the Paying Agent within two Business Days
after becoming aware that a Mortgage Loan has become a Rehabilitated Mortgage
Loan, which notice shall identify the applicable Mortgage Loan. Upon the receipt
of such notice by the Master Servicer and the Paying Agent, such Mortgage Loan
shall become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan and will be serviced by the Master
Servicer.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to
a Mortgage Loan and upon the reasonable request of the Special Servicer, the
Master Servicer shall xxxx its records for such Mortgage Loan to cause any
monthly statements for amounts due on such Mortgage Loan to be sent thereafter
to the Special Servicer rather than the related Mortgagor. Upon receipt of any
such monthly statement, the Special Servicer shall, within two Business Days,
advise the Master Servicer of any changes to be made, and return the monthly
statement to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall thereafter promptly
send the corrected monthly statement to the Mortgagor. If a Mortgage Loan
becomes a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall send the
monthly statement to the Mortgagor as it did before such Mortgage Loan became a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(e) All amounts collected by the Master Servicer with respect to a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan that has become an
REO Mortgage Loan and a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a B Note or
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan) shall be deposited in the Certificate Account,
and all amounts collected by the Master Servicer with respect to a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a B Note shall be deposited in the related A/B
Loan Custodial Account and all amounts collected by the Master Servicer with
respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
Custodial Account. The Master Servicer shall within three Business Days after
receipt of any such payment, notify the Special Servicer of the receipt of such
payment and the amount thereof. The Special Servicer shall, within one Business
Day thereafter, instruct the Master Servicer in writing how to apply such
payment (with the application of such payments to be made in accordance with the
related
-218-
Mortgage Loan documents (including the related Intercreditor Agreement, if any)
or in accordance with this Agreement, as applicable).
(f) After the occurrence of any Servicing Transfer Event with respect
to any one or more Mortgage Loans that are the subject of any Environmental
Insurance Policy, (i) the Special Servicer shall monitor the dates by which any
claim must be made or action must be taken under such Environmental Insurance
Policy to achieve the payment of all amounts thereunder to which the Trust is
entitled in the event the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of any event
giving rise to a claim under such Environmental Insurance Policy (an "Insured
Environmental Event") and (ii) if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of
an Insured Environmental Event with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Special
Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing
Standard and the terms and conditions of the related Environmental Insurance
Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to
which the Trust is entitled thereunder. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket
costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any
such claim shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer (of if
applicable, the Special Servicer) as a Servicing Advance. All extraordinary
expenses (but not ordinary and routine or anticipated expenses) incurred by the
Special Servicer in fulfilling its obligations under this Section 9.1 shall be
paid by the Trust.
SECTION 9.2 FIDELITY BOND AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS INSURANCE POLICY OF
SPECIAL SERVICER. The Special Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect
a Servicer Fidelity Bond and a Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.
The Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and Servicer Fidelity Bond
shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer (unless the Special Servicer self insures
as provided below) and be in form and amount consistent with the Servicing
Standard. In the event that any such Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy or Servicer Fidelity Bond ceases to be in effect, the Special Servicer
shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer
meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement. So
long as the long-term rating of the Special Servicer is not less than two rating
categories (ignoring pluses or minuses) lower than the highest rating of the
Certificates, but in any event not less than "A" as rated by Fitch and "A" as
rated by S&P, the Special Servicer may self-insure for the Servicer Fidelity
Bond and the Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.
SECTION 9.3 SUB-SERVICERS. The Special Servicer shall have the right
to use a Sub-Servicer on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in
Section 8.4 for a Sub-Servicer of the Master Servicer. The Special Servicer
shall notify the Master Servicer, Trustee and solely as it relates to any A/B
Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related B Note, and solely as it relates to any
Loan Pair, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, of the
appointment of any Sub-Servicer of the Special Servicer.
SECTION 9.4 SPECIAL SERVICER GENERAL POWERS AND DUTIES.
(a) Subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement (and,
in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, subject to the servicing of such
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master
Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer), the
Special Servicer is hereby
-219-
authorized and empowered when the Special Servicer believes it appropriate in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, to take any and all the actions with
respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer may
perform as set forth in Section 8.3(a), including (i) to execute and deliver, on
behalf of itself or the Trust (or holder of a B Note or Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan, as applicable), any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
and with respect to the related REO Properties and (ii) to effectuate
foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of any REO Property securing a
Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall execute on the Closing Date a Power of Attorney
in the form of Exhibit S-2 hereto and shall furnish the Special Servicer from
time to time, upon request, with any additional powers of attorney of the Trust,
empowering the Special Servicer to take such actions as it determines to be
reasonably necessary to comply with its servicing, administrative and management
duties hereunder, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver or cause to be
executed and delivered such other documents as a Special Servicing Officer may
request, that are necessary or appropriate to enable the Special Servicer to
service, administer and manage the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and carry
out its duties hereunder, in each case as the Special Servicer determines is in
accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement;
provided, that, prior to initiating any proceedings in any court of law or
equity (but not defending any proceedings in any court of law or equity) or
instituting any proceeding to foreclose on any Mortgaged Property in the name of
the Trust in any state, the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing
and not institute or initiate any such proceedings for a period of five Business
Days from the date of its delivery of such notice to the Trustee, unless the
Special Servicer reasonably believes that such action should be taken in less
than five Business Days to preserve the property of the Trust for the benefit of
Certificateholders, and the Trustee may within five Business Days of its receipt
of such notice advise the Special Servicer that it has received an Opinion of
Counsel (the cost of which shall be an expense of the Trust) from an attorney
duly licensed to practice law in the state where the related Mortgaged Property
or REO Property is located, that it is likely that the laws of the state in
which said action is to be taken either prohibit such action if taken in the
name of the Trust or that the Trust would be adversely affected under the "doing
business" or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name;
provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall not be liable to the extent
that it relies on the advice provided in such Opinion of Counsel. Upon receipt
of any such advice from the Trustee, the Special Servicer shall take such action
in the name of such Person or Persons, in trust for the Trust (or holder of a B
Note or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, if applicable), as shall be consistent
with the Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Trustee. Such Person or Persons
shall acknowledge in writing that such action is being taken by the Special
Servicer in the name of the Trust (or holder of a B Note or the Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan, if applicable). In the performance of its duties
hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall
not, except in those instances where it is, after notice to the Trustee as
provided above, taking action in the name of the Trust (or holder of a B Note or
the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, if applicable), be deemed to be the agent
of the Trust (or holder of a B Note or the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, as
applicable). The Special Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any loss,
liability or reasonable expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the
Trustee or any director, officer, employee, agent or Controlling Person of it or
its affiliates in connection with any negligent or intentional misuse of the
foregoing powers of attorney furnished to the Special Servicer by the Trustee.
Such indemnification shall survive the resignation or termination of the Special
Servicer hereunder, the resignation or termination of the Trustee and the
termination of this Agreement. The Special
-220-
Servicer shall not have any responsibility or liability for any act or omission
of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Depositor that is not attributable to
the failure of the Special Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder. The
Special Servicer may conclusively rely on any advice of counsel rendered in a
Nondisqualification Opinion.
(b) In servicing and administering the Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans and managing any related REO Properties, the Special Servicer shall employ
procedures consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer shall
conduct, or cause to be conducted, inspections, at its own expense, of the
Mortgaged Properties relating to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans at such times
and in such manner as shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided,
that the Special Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, inspections
of the Mortgaged Properties relating to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans at
least once during each twelve-month period that ends on June 30 of any calendar
year (commencing with the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2005); provided
further that the Special Servicer shall, at the expense of the Trust, inspect or
cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property related to a Mortgage Loan that is
delinquent for sixty (60) days in the payment of any amounts due under such
Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer (who
shall provide, solely as it relates to any A/B Mortgage Loan, to the holder of
the related B Note, and solely as it relates to any Loan Pair, to the holder of
the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan) and the Operating Adviser copies
of the Inspection Reports relating to such inspections as soon as practicable
after the completion of any inspection.
(c) Pursuant to the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement, each
owner of a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan has agreed that the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer are authorized and obligated to service and administer
such Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) Pursuant to the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement, each
owner of a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan has agreed that the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer are authorized and obligated to service and administer
such Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that the Special Servicer's obligations and responsibilities hereunder
and the Special Servicer's authority with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu
Mortgage Loan are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Loan Pair
Intercreditor Agreement. At such time when the related Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan is deposited into a different commercial mortgage securitization
(the "Other Securitization"), the Special Servicer shall be required to consult
with the special servicer of the Other Securitization (the "Other Special
Servicer") in respect thereof, and shall provide the Other Special Servicer with
an opportunity to review any proposed action to be taken in respect thereof. The
Other Special Servicer and the operating adviser of the Other Securitization
(the "Other Operating Adviser") shall have such opportunity to consult with the
Special Servicer for a period from the date of receipt of the Special Servicer's
written description of its proposed action through (but excluding) the fifth
Business Day following the date of receipt (the "Initial Review Period"). The
Special Servicer shall implement its written proposal if the Other Special
Servicer (in consultation with the Other
-221-
Operating Adviser) does not disapprove the proposed action within the Initial
Review Period, unless the Special Servicer has been directed to do otherwise by
the Operating Adviser (in which event the Special Servicer shall advise the
Other Special Servicer of such alternate course of action). If the Other Special
Servicer (in consultation with the Other Operating Adviser) disagrees with any
aspect of the written proposal and, after consulting with the Special Servicer
during the Initial Review Period, is unable to reach agreement on the proper
course of action and notifies the Special Servicer of its disagreement in
writing, then the Other Special Servicer shall be entitled to an additional
period of five Business Days (the "Additional Review Period") to continue its
discussions with the Special Servicer and the Operating Adviser. If the Other
Special Servicer and the Special Servicer agree on a revised course of action
within the Initial Review Period or the Additional Review Period, then the
Special Servicer shall revise the written proposal to reflect the agreed upon
revised course of action and shall implement that course of action. If the Other
Special Servicer and the Special Servicer are unable to agree on the appropriate
course of action by the end of the Additional Review Period, then the Special
Servicer shall decide, in accordance with the Servicing Standard set forth in
this Agreement, what course of action to follow. If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing with respect to the Special Servicer under this
Agreement, which Event of Default does not relate to any Mortgage Loan other
than the related Loan Pair, then the trustee under the pooling and servicing
agreement relating to the Other Securitization (the "Other Pooling and Servicing
Agreement") shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to (a) terminate the
defaulting Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Loan Pair and (b)
appoint a successor Special Servicer that meets the eligibility requirements of
the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. In such event, the
trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall exercise its
rights set forth in the preceding sentence at the direction of the
certificateholders holding at least 25% of the certificate balance of the
certificates issued under the Other Securitization or the Other Operating
Adviser. The replacement of the Special Servicer with respect to a Loan Pair, as
contemplated above, will in any event be subject to obtaining Rating Agency
Confirmation hereunder and any required Rating Agency Confirmation with respect
to the certificates by the trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
(e) Pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Intercreditor Agreement, the owners of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan have agreed
that such owner's rights in, to and under such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are
subject to the servicing and all other rights of the applicable Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Special Servicer and such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer are authorized and obligated to
service and administer such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
the Special Servicer's obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the
Special Servicer's authority with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are
limited by and subject to the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special
Servicer with respect thereto under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Special Servicer shall take such actions as
it shall deem reasonably necessary to facilitate the servicing of any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master
Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer
including, but not limited to, delivering appropriate Requests for Release to
the Trustee and Custodian (if any) in order to deliver any portion of the
related Mortgage File to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master
Servicer or applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer under the
related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 9.5 "DUE-ON-SALE" CLAUSES; ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION
AGREEMENTS; MODIFICATIONS OF SPECIALLY SERVICED MORTGAGE LOANS;
DUE-ON-ENCUMBRANCE CLAUSES.
Subject to the limitations of Section 12.3, the Special Servicer shall
have the following duties and rights:
(a) If any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan contains a provision in
the nature of a "due-on-sale" clause, which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Specially Serviced 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 ownership interest
in the related Mortgagor, or
(ii) provides that such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan may not
be assumed, or ownership interests in the related Mortgagor may not be
transferred, without the consent of the related mortgagee in connection with any
such sale or other transfer,
then, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall, after consultation
with the Operating Adviser and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, take
such actions as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, and may waive or enforce any due-on-sale
clause contained in the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage; provided, however,
that if the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan at such time equals or
exceeds 5% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance or exceeds $35,000,000 or is one
of the then current top 10 loans (by Principal Balance) in the pool, then prior
to waiving the effect of such provision, the Special Servicer shall obtain
Rating Agency Confirmation regarding such waiver. In connection with the request
for such consent, the Special Servicer shall prepare and deliver to Fitch and
S&P a memorandum outlining its analysis and recommendation in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, together with copies of all relevant documentation. The
Special Servicer shall also prepare and provide Fitch and S&P with such
memorandum and documentation for all transfer and assumption consents granted
for Mortgage Loans below the threshold set forth above (and, in the case of
encumbrances, the threshold set forth in Section 9.5(i)), but for which the
Special Servicer's decision will be sufficient and a Rating Agency Confirmation
is not required. As to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan and contains a provision in the nature of a "due-on-sale" clause,
the Special Servicer shall have the rights and duties set forth in Section
8.7(b). The Special Servicer shall be entitled to 100% of all assumption fees in
connection with Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans.
After notice to the Operating Adviser, the Special Servicer is also
authorized to take or enter into an assignment and assumption agreement from or
with the Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed,
and/or to release the original Mortgagor from liability upon the Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and substitute the new Mortgagor as obligor thereon;
provided, that except as otherwise permitted by Section 9.5(c), any such
assignment and assumption or substitution agreement shall contain no terms that
could result in an Adverse REMIC Event. To the extent permitted by law, the
Special Servicer shall enter into an assumption or substitution agreement that
is required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (either as a matter of
right or upon satisfaction of specified conditions) and shall
-223-
otherwise enter into any assumption or substitution agreement only if the credit
status of the prospective new mortgagor and the underwriting of the new
mortgagor is in compliance with the Special Servicer's regular commercial
mortgage origination or servicing standards and criteria. The Special Servicer
shall notify the Master Servicer of any such assignment and assumption or
substitution agreement and the Special Servicer shall forward to the Trustee the
original of such agreement, which original shall be added by the Trustee 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.
(b) In connection with any assignment and assumption of a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, in no event shall the Special Servicer consent to the
creation of any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on a parity
with, the lien of the related Mortgage. Nothing in this Section 9.5 shall
constitute a waiver of the Trustee's right, as the mortgagee of record, to
receive notice of any assignment and assumption of a Specially Serviced 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.
(c) Subject to the Servicing Standard and Sections 9.39 and 9.40, and
the rights and duties of the Master Servicer under Section 8.18, the Special
Servicer may enter into any modification, waiver or amendment (including,
without limitation, the substitution or release of collateral or the pledge of
additional collateral) of the terms of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan,
including any modification, waiver or amendment to (i) reduce the amounts owing
under any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by forgiving principal, accrued
interest and/or any Prepayment Premium, (ii) reduce the amount of the Scheduled
Payment on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including by way of a reduction
in the related Mortgage Rate, (iii) forbear in the enforcement of any right
granted under any Mortgage Note or Mortgage relating to a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, (iv) extend the Maturity Date of any Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan and/or (v) accept a principal prepayment on any Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan during any period during which voluntary Principal Prepayments are
prohibited, provided, in the case of any such modification, waiver or amendment,
that (A) the related Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer,
such default is reasonably foreseeable, (B) in the reasonable judgment of the
Special Servicer, such modification, waiver or amendment would result in a
recovery that would equal or exceed the recovery, from liquidation, on the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders, the holder of the
related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and the holder of the related B Note
(as a collective whole) on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting
of amounts that will be distributable to Certificateholders, the holder of the
related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and the holder of the related B Note
(as a collective whole) to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate or such
other discount rate reasonably assigned by the Special Servicer in accordance
with the Servicing Standard that is no less than the Mortgage Rate (or, in the
case of an A/B Mortgage Loan, such discounting to be performed at a rate no less
than the weighted average of the Mortgage Rate and the stated mortgage rate on
the B Note)), (C) such modification, waiver or amendment would not cause an
Adverse REMIC Event (including with respect to any securities evidencing
interests in any A Note or any B Note) to occur or adversely affect the tax
status of the B Note Trust, and (D) if notice to the Operating Adviser of such
modification, waiver or amendment is required pursuant to Section 9.39, the
Special Servicer has made such notice. The Special Servicer, with respect to any
B Note and any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan that is a Specially Serviced
-224-
Mortgage Loan, shall notify the holder of the B Note and the Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan, as applicable, of any modification of the monthly payments of an
A/B Mortgage Loan or a Loan Pair, as the case may be, and such monthly payments
shall be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement or
Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable.
In no event, however, shall the Special Servicer (i) extend the
Maturity Date of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan beyond a date that is two
years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date or (ii) if the Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan is secured by a ground lease, extend the Maturity Date of
such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan unless the Special Servicer gives due
consideration to the remaining term of such ground lease. The Special Servicer
shall not extend the Maturity Date of any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged
Property covered by a group secured creditor impaired property environmental
insurance policy for more than five years beyond such Mortgage Loan's Maturity
Date unless a new Phase I Environmental Report indicates that there is no
environmental condition or the Mortgagor obtains, at its expense, an extension
of such policy on the same terms and conditions to cover the period through five
years past the extended Maturity Date, provided that, (i) if such Mortgage Loan
is secured by a ground lease, the Special Servicer shall give due consideration
to the remaining term of the ground lease and (ii) in no case shall the Maturity
Date of any such Mortgage Loan be extended past a date that is two years prior
to the Rated Final Distribution Date.
The determination of the Special Servicer contemplated by clause (B)
of the proviso to the first paragraph of this Section 9.5(c) shall be evidenced
by an Officer's Certificate certifying the information in the proviso to the
first paragraph under this subsection (c).
(d) In the event the Special Servicer intends to permit a Mortgagor to
substitute collateral for all or any portion of a Mortgaged Property pursuant to
Section 9.5(c) or pledge additional collateral for the Mortgage Loan pursuant to
Section 9.5(c), if the security interest of the Trust, the holder of any
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or the holder of any B Note in such collateral
would be perfected by possession, or if such collateral requires special care or
protection, then prior to agreeing to such substitution or addition of
collateral, the Special Servicer shall make arrangements for such possession,
care or protection, and prior to agreeing to such substitution or addition of
collateral (or such arrangement for possession, care or protection) shall obtain
the prior written consent of the Trustee with respect thereto (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however,
that the Trustee shall not be required (but has the option) to consent to any
substitution or addition of collateral or to hold any such collateral which will
require the Trustee to undertake any additional duties or obligations or incur
any additional expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer will
not permit a Mortgagor to substitute collateral for any portion of the Mortgaged
Property pursuant to Section 9.5(c) unless it shall have received a Rating
Agency Confirmation in connection therewith, the costs of which to be payable by
the related Mortgagor to the extent provided for in the Mortgage Loan documents.
If the Mortgagor is not required to pay for the Rating Agency Confirmation, then
such expense will be paid by the Trust. The parties hereto acknowledge that if
the Trust incurs any Additional Trust Expense associated solely with the release
of collateral that is not required to be paid by a Mortgagor pursuant to the
related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Additional Trust Expense is not paid
by the Mortgagor), including, but not limited to, rating agency fees, then the
sole obligation of the related Seller shall be to pay an amount equal to such
expense to the extent the related Mortgagor is not required to pay them.
Promptly upon receipt of notice of such unpaid expense, regarding a
-225-
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall request the related
Seller to make such payment by deposit to the Certificate Account.
(e) The Special Servicer will promptly deliver to the Master Servicer,
the Operating Adviser, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Rating Agencies (and,
solely with respect to an A/B Mortgage Loan, the related B Note Holder) a
notice, specifying any assignments and assumptions, modifications, waivers or
amendments executed pursuant to this Section 9.5, such notice identifying the
affected Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall set forth the
reasons for such waiver, modification, or amendment (including, but not limited
to, information such as related income and expense statements, rent rolls,
occupancy status, property inspections, and an internal or external appraisal
performed in accordance with MAI standards and methodologies (and, if done
externally, the cost of such appraisal shall be recoverable as a Servicing
Advance subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof)). The Special Servicer
shall also deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian), for deposit in the related
Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such
modification, waiver or amendment promptly following the execution thereof.
(f) No fee described in this Section shall be collected by the Special
Servicer from the Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with
any consent or any modification, waiver or amendment of the Mortgage Loan if the
collection of such fee would cause such consent, modification, waiver or
amendment to be a "significant modification" of the Mortgage Note within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b). Subject to the foregoing,
the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, to collect any modification fees and other expenses
connected with a permitted modification of a Mortgage Loan from the Mortgagor.
The inability of the Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses of a proposed
modification shall not impair the right of the Special Servicer, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee to be reimbursed by the Trust for such expenses
(including any cost and expense associated with the Opinion of Counsel referred
to in this Section).
(g) The Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer (as
provided in Section 8.7) in connection with assignments and assumptions of
Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, and shall be
entitled to receive 50% of any assumption fee paid by the related Mortgagor in
connection with an assignment and assumption executed pursuant to Section 8.7(a)
and 50% of any assumption fee paid by the related Mortgagor in connection with
an assignment and assumption executed pursuant to Section 8.7(b). The Special
Servicer shall be entitled to 100% of any assumption fee received in connection
with a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Special
Servicer shall not have any right or obligation to consult with or to seek
and/or obtain consent or approval from the Operating Adviser prior to acting,
and provisions of this Agreement requiring such shall be of no effect, if the
Operating Adviser resigns or is removed, during the period following such
resignation or removal until a replacement is elected and (ii) no advice,
direction or objection from or by the Operating Adviser, as contemplated by this
Agreement, may (and the Special Servicer shall ignore and act without regard to
any such advice, direction or objection that the Special Servicer has
determined, in its reasonable good faith judgment would) (A) require or cause
the Special Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of any Mortgage Loan,
any provision of this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including the Special
Servicer's
-226-
obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (B) result in an
Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool, (C) expose the Trust, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the
Paying Agent or the Trustee, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers,
directors, employees or agents, to any material claim, suit or liability, or (D)
materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer's responsibilities under
this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, in no event shall the Special Servicer be required to take direction
or obtain consent from the Operating Adviser with respect to the Kohl's
Stoughton Mortgage Loan so long as BSCMI or any of its affiliates is the
Controlling Holder (as such term is defined in the related Intercreditor
Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.
(i) If any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan which 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
additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or a
lien on an ownership interest in the Mortgagor; or
(ii) requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any
such additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property
or a lien on an ownership interest in the Mortgagor,
then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust, the Special
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall exercise
(or, subject to Section 9.5, waive its right to exercise) any right it may have
with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon, or
(y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any such additional lien or other
encumbrance, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. Prior to
waiving the effect of such provision with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the
Special Servicer shall obtain Rating Agency Confirmation regarding such waiver;
provided, however, that such Rating Agency Confirmation shall only be required
if the applicable Mortgage Loan (x) represents 2% or more of the Principal
Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans held by the Trust, has a Principal Balance
of more than $20,000,000 or is one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans based on
Principal Balance or (y) has a Loan-to-Value Ratio (which includes the
indebtedness to be secured by such additional lien or other encumbrance and any
other loans secured by the related Mortgaged Property or interests in the
related Mortgagor) that is greater than or equal to 85% or a Debt Service
Coverage Ratio (which includes debt service on the indebtedness to be secured by
such additional lien or other encumbrance and any other loans secured by the
related Mortgaged Property or interests in the related Mortgagor) that is less
than 1.2x.
SECTION 9.6 RELEASE OF MORTGAGE FILES.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Special Servicer of a notification
that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes,
or the complete defeasance of a Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer will
immediately notify the Master Servicer. The Special Servicer shall determine, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether an instrument of satisfaction
shall be delivered and, if the Special Servicer determines that such instrument
should be
-227-
delivered, the Special Servicer shall deliver written approval of such delivery
to the Master Servicer.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the management of the
related REO Property and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Trustee
shall execute or cause to be executed such documents as shall be prepared and
furnished to the Trustee by a Special Servicing Officer (in form reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary for such purposes. The Trustee
or Custodian shall, upon request of the Special Servicer and delivery to the
Trustee or Custodian of a request for release signed by a Special Servicing
Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit C, release the related Mortgage
File to the Special Servicer. After the transfer of servicing with respect to
any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall notify, in writing, the
Mortgagor under each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan transferred to the Special
Servicer, of such transfer.
(c) The Special Servicer shall send notification in writing, to the
Master Servicer to request any documents and instruments in the possession of
the Master Servicer related to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(d) The Special Servicer shall, with respect to any Rehabilitated
Mortgage Loan, release to the Master Servicer all documents and instruments in
the possession of the Special Servicer related to such Rehabilitated Mortgage
Loan. Prior to the transfer of servicing with respect to any Rehabilitated
Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
the Special Servicer shall notify, in writing, each Mortgagor under such
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan of such transfer.
SECTION 9.7 DOCUMENTS, RECORDS AND FUNDS IN POSSESSION OF SPECIAL
SERVICER TO BE HELD FOR THE TRUSTEE.
(a) The Special Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian
such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Special
Servicer as from time to time are required by the terms hereof to be delivered
to the Trustee. Any funds received by the Special Servicer in respect of any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Property or which otherwise are
collected by the Special Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds
or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any
REO Property shall be transmitted to the Master Servicer within one Business Day
of receipt to the Certificate Account, except that if such amounts relate to REO
Income, they shall be deposited in the REO Account. The Special Servicer shall
provide access to information and documentation regarding the Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying
Agent, the Operating Adviser and their respective agents and accountants at any
time upon reasonable written request and during normal business hours, provided
that the Special Servicer shall not be required to take any action or provide
any information that the Special Servicer determines will result in any material
cost or expense to which it is not entitled to reimbursement hereunder or will
result in any material liability for which it is not indemnified hereunder;
provided further that the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to
receive from the Special Servicer all such information as the Trustee and the
Paying Agent shall reasonably require to perform their respective duties
hereunder. In fulfilling such a request, the
-228-
Special Servicer shall not be responsible for determining whether such
information is sufficient for the Trustee's, the Master Servicer's, the Fiscal
Agent's, the Paying Agent's or the Operating Adviser's purposes.
(b) The Special Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Trust (and/or
the holder of the related B Note, if an A/B Mortgage Loan is involved and/or the
holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, if a Loan Pair is
involved) owns the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and all Mortgage Files
representing such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and all funds now or
hereafter held by, or under the control of, the Special Servicer that are
collected by the Special Servicer in connection with the Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans (but excluding any Special Servicer Compensation and all other
amounts to which the Special Servicer is entitled hereunder); and the Special
Servicer agrees that all documents or instruments constituting part of the
Mortgage Files, and such funds relating to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
which come into the possession or custody of, or which are subject to the
control of, the Special Servicer, shall be held by the Special Servicer for and
on behalf of the Trust (or the holder of the related B Note, if an A/B Mortgage
Loan is involved or the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan,
if a Loan Pair is involved).
(c) The Special Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur
or subject any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, or any funds that are required
to be deposited in any REO Account to any claim, lien, security interest,
judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal
action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or any funds, collected on, or in connection with, a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 9.8 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE SPECIAL
SERVICER.
(a) The Special Servicer hereby represents and warrants to and
covenants with the Trustee, as of the Closing Date:
(i) the Special Servicer is duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, and
shall be in compliance with the laws of each State in which any Mortgaged
Property (including any REO Property) which is, or is related to a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan is located to the extent necessary to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, except where the failure to so qualify or
comply would not adversely affect the Special Servicer's ability to perform its
obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) the Special Servicer has the full power and authority to
execute, deliver, perform, and to enter into and consummate all transactions and
obligations contemplated by this Agreement. The Special Servicer has duly and
validly authorized the execution, delivery and performance by it of this
Agreement and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Special
Servicer; and this Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and
delivery thereof by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying
Agent and the Master Servicer, evidences the valid and binding obligation of the
Special Servicer enforceable against the Special Servicer in accordance with its
terms subject, as to enforcement of remedies,
-229-
to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, receivership
and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally as from time to
time in effect, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);
(iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Special
Servicer, the consummation by the Special Servicer of the transactions
contemplated hereby, and the fulfillment of or compliance by the Special
Servicer with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not (1) result in
a breach of any term or provision of its charter or by-laws or (2) conflict
with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default
under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a
party or by which it may be bound, or any law, governmental rule, regulation, or
judgment, decree or order applicable to it of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, which
materially and adversely affects its ability to perform its obligations under
this Agreement;
(iv) no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Special
Servicer's knowledge, threatened, against it, the outcome of which, in the
Special Servicer's reasonable judgment, could reasonably be expected to
materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of
this Agreement or its ability to service the Mortgage Loans or to perform any of
its other obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof; and
(v) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by it of, or compliance by it with, this Agreement, or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or if any such consent,
approval, authorization or order is required, it has obtained the same or will
obtain the same prior to the time necessary to perform its obligations under
this Agreement, and, except to the extent in the case of performance, that its
failure to be qualified as a foreign corporation or licensed in one or more
states is not necessary for the performance by it of its obligations hereunder.
(b) It is understood that the representations and warranties set forth
in this Section 9.8 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
(c) Any cause of action against the Special Servicer arising out of
the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall
accrue upon the giving of written notice to the Special Servicer by any of the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Fiscal Agent. The Special
Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying
Agent, the Depositor, the Operating Adviser and the Master Servicer of the
occurrence, or the failure to occur, of any event that, with notice, or the
passage of time or both, would cause any representation or warranty in this
Section to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect.
SECTION 9.9 STANDARD HAZARD, FLOOD AND COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL LIABILITY
INSURANCE POLICIES.
(a) For all REO Properties (other than REO Properties relating to
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts,
consistent with the
-230-
Servicing Standard, to maintain with a Qualified Insurer (A) a Standard Hazard
Insurance Policy (that, if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and
the related Mortgage so require, contains no exclusion as to any Act or Acts of
Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002) which does
not provide for reduction due to depreciation in an amount which is not less
than the full replacement cost of the improvements of such REO Property or in an
amount not less than the unpaid Principal Balance plus all unpaid interest and
the cumulative amount of Servicing Advances (plus Advance Interest) made with
respect to such Mortgage Loan, any related B Note and Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan, whichever is less, but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to
avoid the application of any co-insurance clause and (B) any other insurance
coverage for such REO Property which the related Mortgagor was required to
maintain for the related Mortgaged Property under the related Mortgage, subject,
as to earthquake insurance, to the second sentence following this sentence. If
the improvements to the Mortgaged Property are in an area identified in the
Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special
flood hazards (and flood insurance has been made available), the Special
Servicer shall maintain a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount
representing coverage equal to the lesser of the then outstanding Principal
Balance of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and unpaid Advances (plus
Advance Interest) and the maximum insurance coverage required under such current
guidelines. It is understood and agreed that the Special Servicer has no
obligation to obtain earthquake or other additional insurance on REO Property,
except as required by law or, with respect to insurance other than earthquake
insurance, as set forth in clause (B) of the first sentence of this Section
9.9(a) and, nevertheless, at its sole option and at the Trust's expense, it (if
required at origination and is available at commercially reasonable rates) may
obtain such earthquake insurance. The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable
efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to obtain a comprehensive
general liability insurance policy for all REO Properties. The Special Servicer
shall, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined
by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) and to the
extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, use its reasonable efforts to
maintain a Rent Loss Policy covering revenues for a period of at least twelve
months and a comprehensive general liability policy with coverage comparable to
prudent lending requirements in an amount not less than $1 million per
occurrence. All applicable policies required to be maintained by the Special
Servicer pursuant to this Section 9.9(a) shall name the Trustee as loss payee
and be endorsed with a standard mortgagee clause. The costs of such insurance
shall be a Servicing Advance, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.
(b) Any amounts collected by the Special Servicer under any insurance
policies maintained pursuant to this Section 9.9 (other than amounts to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the REO Property) shall be deposited
into the applicable REO Account. Any cost incurred in maintaining the insurance
required hereby for any REO Property shall be a Servicing Advance, subject to
the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, the Special Servicer shall not be
required in any event to maintain or obtain insurance coverage beyond what is
reasonably available at a cost customarily acceptable and consistent with the
Servicing Standard; provided that, the Special Servicer will be required to
maintain insurance against property damages resulting from terrorism or similar
acts if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents so require unless the
Special Servicer determines that (i) such insurance is not available at any rate
or (ii) such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates and
such hazards are not at the time
-231-
commonly insured against for properties similar to the related Mortgaged
Property and located in or around the region in which such related Mortgaged
Property is located. The Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee of any such
determination.
(d) The Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations as set forth in this Section 9.9 either (i) if the
Special Servicer shall have obtained and maintained a master force placed or
blanket insurance policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the applicable
Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and any B Note serviced by
it, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible
clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and
maintained by comparable servicers consistent with the Servicing Standard, and
provided that such policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer with a minimum claims
paying ability rating of at least "A" by Fitch and "A" by S&P or otherwise
approved by the Rating Agencies or (ii) if the Special Servicer, provided that
the rating of such Person's long-term debt is not less than "A" by Fitch and "A"
by S&P, self-insures for its obligations as set forth in the first paragraph of
this Section 9.9. In the event that the Special Servicer shall cause any
Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and B Note to be covered by such
a master force placed or blanket insurance policy, the incremental cost of such
insurance allocable to such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and
B Note (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy
whether or not any Mortgage Loan is then covered thereby), if not borne by the
related Mortgagor, shall be paid by the Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance,
subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. If such policy contains a
deductible clause, the Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been
maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with this
Section 9.9 and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by
such policy, deposit in the Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable
under such master force placed or blanket insurance policy because of such
deductible clause to the extent that such deductible exceeds (i) the deductible
under the related Mortgage Loan, A/B Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan or (ii) if there is no deductible limitation required under the
Mortgage Loan, A/B Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the
deductible amount with respect to insurance policies generally available on
properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property which is consistent with
the Servicing Standard, and deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
describing the calculation of such amount. In connection with its activities as
administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan and any B Note, the Special Servicer agrees to present, on its
behalf and on behalf of the Trustee, claims under any such master force placed
or blanket insurance policy. SECTION
9.10 PRESENTMENT OF CLAIMS AND COLLECTION OF PROCEEDS. The Special
Servicer will prepare and present or cause to be prepared and presented on
behalf of the Trustee all claims under the Insurance Policies with respect to
REO Property, and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement,
compromise or enforcement of the insured's claim) as shall be necessary to
recover under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Special Servicer in
respect of such policies shall be promptly remitted to the Certificate Account,
upon receipt, except for any amounts realized that are to be applied to the
repair or restoration of the applicable REO Property in accordance with the
Servicing Standard. Any extraordinary expenses (but not ordinary and routine or
anticipated expenses) incurred by the Special Servicer in fulfilling its
obligations under this Section 9.10 shall be paid by the Trust.
SECTION 9.11 COMPENSATION TO THE SPECIAL SERVICER.
-232-
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to (i) the Special Servicing Fee, (ii) the Liquidation Fee and
(iii) the Work-Out Fee. Such amounts, if any, collected by the Special Servicer
from the related Mortgagor shall be transferred by the Special Servicer to the
Master Servicer within one Business Day of receipt thereof, and deposited by the
Master Servicer in the Certificate Account. The Special Servicer shall be
entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee from the Liquidation Proceeds received in
connection with a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property. With respect
to each REO Mortgage Loan that is a successor to a Mortgage Loan secured by two
or more Mortgaged Properties, the reference to "REO Property" in the preceding
sentence shall be construed on a property-by-property basis to refer separately
to the acquired real property that is a successor to each of such Mortgaged
Properties, thereby entitling the Special Servicer to a Liquidation Fee from the
Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with a final disposition of, and
Condemnation Proceeds received in connection with, each such acquired property
as the Liquidation Proceeds related to that property are received. The Special
Servicer shall also be entitled to additional special servicing compensation of
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate Prepayment Interest
Excess relating to Mortgage Loans which are Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
which have received voluntary Principal Prepayments not from Liquidation
Proceeds or from modifications of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for each
Distribution Date over the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such
Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date. If the Special Servicer resigns or is
terminated for any reason, it shall retain the right to receive any Work-Out
Fees payable on Mortgage Loans that became Rehabilitated Mortgage Loans while it
acted as Special Servicer and remained Rehabilitated Mortgage Loans at the time
of such resignation or termination for so long as such Mortgage Loan remains a
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan.
(b) The Special Servicer shall be entitled to cause the Master
Servicer to withdraw (i) from the Certificate Account, the Special Servicer
Compensation in respect of each Mortgage Loan (but not a B Note), (ii) from any
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Account, the Special Servicer
Compensation to the extent related solely to the related Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan and (iii) from any A/B Loan Custodial Account, the Special
Servicer Compensation to the extent related solely to the related B Note, in the
time and manner set forth in Section 5.2 of this Agreement. The Special Servicer
shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(c) Additional Special Servicer Compensation in the form of net
interest or income on any REO Account, assumption fees, extension fees,
servicing fees, Modification Fees, forbearance fees, Late Fees and default
interest (net of amounts used to pay Advance Interest) or other usual and
customary charges and fees actually received from the Mortgagor in connection
with any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be retained by the Special
Servicer, to the extent not required to be deposited in the Certificate Account
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (other than any such fees payable in
connection with any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). The Special Servicer shall also
be permitted to receive 50% of all assumption fees collected with respect to
Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as provided in
Section 8.7(a) and 8.7(b) and 100% of all assumption fees collected with respect
to Mortgage Loans that are Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as provided in
Section 9.5(a) (other than any such fees payable in connection with any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). To the extent any component of Special Servicer
Compensation is in respect of amounts usually and
-233-
customarily paid by Mortgagors, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable good
faith efforts to collect such amounts from the related Mortgagor, and to the
extent so collected, in full or in part, the Special Servicer shall not be
entitled to compensation for the portion so collected therefor hereunder out of
the Trust.
SECTION 9.12 REALIZATION UPON DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) The Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard
and subject to Section 9.4(a) and Section 9.36, shall use its reasonable efforts
to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of
Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as
come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements
can be made for collection of delinquent payments of such Mortgage Loan, the
sale of such Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement or the modification
of such Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion of ownership, the Special Servicer shall follow
the Servicing Standard. The foregoing is subject to the proviso that the Special
Servicer shall not request that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance for
Liquidation Expenses that would be a Nonrecoverable Advance unless the Special
Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance is in the best interest of the
Certificateholders (and in the case of any A/B Mortgage Loan, the holder of the
related B Note and the Trust as a collective whole and in the case of any Loan
Pair, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and the Trust
as a collective whole).
(b) The Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property
relating to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant hereto unless either:
(i) such personal property is incidental to real property (within
the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special
Servicer; or
(ii) the Special Servicer shall have received a
Nondisqualification Opinion (the cost of which shall be reimbursed by the Trust)
to the effect that the holding of such personal property by any REMIC Pool will
not cause the imposition of a tax on any REMIC Pool under the Code or cause any
REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust, obtain title to a Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and shall not
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action the Trust, or any trust
that holds a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan would be considered to hold title
to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of
such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA, or any applicable
comparable federal, state or local law, or a "discharger" or "responsible party"
thereunder, unless the Special Servicer has also previously determined in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on a Phase I Environmental Report
prepared by a Person (who may be an employee or affiliate of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer) who regularly conducts environmental site assessments
in accordance with the standards of FNMA in the case of multi-family mortgage
loans and customary servicing practices in the case of commercial loans for
environmental assessments, which report shall be delivered to the Trustee, that:
-234-
(i) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
Environmental Laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental expert
that taking such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property in
compliance therewith is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net
present value basis than not taking such actions;
(ii) taking such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged
Property in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws is reasonably likely
to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than pursuing a claim
under the Environmental Insurance Policy; and
(iii) there are no circumstances or conditions present or
threatened at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management, disposal
or release of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes,
or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring,
removal, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or
local law or regulation, or that, if any such materials are present for which
such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental expert
taking such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property is
reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis
than not taking such actions (after taking into account the projected costs of
such actions); provided, however, that such compliance pursuant to clause (i)
and (ii) above or the taking of such action pursuant to this clause (iii) shall
only be required to the extent that the cost thereof is a Servicing Advance of
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, subject
to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.
(d) The cost of the Phase I Environmental Report contemplated by
Section 9.12(c) may be treated as a Liquidation Expense, or in the event the
related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is not liquidated and a Final Recovery
Determination has been made with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer shall treat such cost as a Servicing Advance subject
to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof; provided that, in the latter event, the
Special Servicer shall use its good faith reasonable business efforts to recover
such cost from the Mortgagor in connection with the curing of the default under
the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(e) If the Special Servicer determines, pursuant to Section 9.12(c),
that taking such actions as are necessary to bring any Mortgaged Property into
compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, or taking such actions with
respect to the containment, removal, clean-up or remediation of hazardous
substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials
affecting any such Mortgaged Property, is not reasonably likely to produce a
greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions
(after taking into account the projected costs of such actions) or than not
pursuing a claim under the Environmental Insurance Policy, then the Special
Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest
of the Trust (and the holder of the related B Note if in connection with an A/B
Mortgage Loan and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan if
in connection with a Loan Pair, taken as a collective whole), including, without
limitation, releasing the lien of the related Mortgage. If the Special Servicer
determines that a material possibility exists that Liquidation Expenses with
respect to Mortgaged Property (taking into account the cost of bringing it into
compliance with applicable Environmental Laws) would exceed the Principal
Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall not
-235-
attempt to bring such Mortgaged Property into compliance and shall not acquire
title to such Mortgaged Property unless it has received the written consent of
the Trustee to such action.
(f) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of maintaining any
action with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, any action to obtain a deficiency judgment with respect to any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 9.13 FORECLOSURE. In the event that the Trust obtains, through
foreclosure on a Mortgage or otherwise, the right to receive title to a
Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer, as its agent, shall direct the
appropriate party to deliver title to the REO Property to the Trustee or its
nominee.
The Special Servicer may consult with counsel to determine when an
Acquisition Date shall be deemed to occur under the REMIC Provisions with
respect to the Mortgaged Property, the expense of such consultation being
treated as a Servicing Advance related to the foreclosure, subject to the
provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust
(and the holder of the related B Note if in connection with an A/B Mortgage Loan
and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan if in connection
with a Loan Pair), shall sell the REO Property expeditiously, but in any event
within the time period, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Section
9.15. Subject to Section 9.15, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve,
protect and operate the REO Property for the holders of beneficial interests in
the Trust (and the holder of the related B Note if in connection with an A/B
Mortgage Loan and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan if
in connection with a Loan Pair) solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition
and sale.
SECTION 9.14 OPERATION OF REO PROPERTY
(a) The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected
and received in connection with the operation of each REO Property separate and
apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain
with respect to each REO Property one or more accounts held in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (and the holder of the related B Note if in
connection with an A/B Mortgage Loan and the holder of the related Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan if in connection with a Loan Pair) in the name of
"LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for the Holders of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx
Capital I Inc. Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2005-TOP17,
the holder of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and the holder of any B Note
as their interests may appear [name of Property Account]" (each, an "REO
Account"), which shall be an Eligible Account. Amounts in any REO Account shall
be invested in Eligible Investments. The Special Servicer shall deposit all
funds received with respect to an REO Property in the applicable REO Account
within two days of receipt. The Special Servicer shall account separately for
funds received or expended with respect to each REO Property. All funds in each
REO Account may be invested only in Eligible Investments. The Special Servicer
shall notify the Trustee and the Master Servicer in writing of the location and
account number of each REO Account and shall notify the Trustee prior to any
subsequent change thereof.
(b) On or before each Special Servicer Remittance Date, the Special
Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and deposit in the Certificate
Account, the REO Income
-236-
received or collected during the Collection Period immediately preceding such
Special Servicer Remittance Date on or with respect to the related REO
Properties and reinvestment income thereon; provided, however, that (i) the
Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account such portion of such proceeds
and collections as may be necessary to maintain in the REO Account sufficient
funds for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the related REO
Property, including, without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for
repairs, replacements, and necessary capital improvements and other related
expenses. The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of all such
deposits (and the REO Properties to which the deposits relate) made into the
Certificate Account and (ii) the Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw
from the REO Account and pay itself as additional Special Servicing Compensation
any interest or net reinvestment income earned on funds deposited in the REO
Account. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments
shall be for the account of the Special Servicer which shall deposit the amount
of such loss (to the extent not offset by income from other investments) in the
REO Account, out of its own funds immediately as realized. If the Special
Servicer deposits in any REO Account any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the REO Account, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) If the Trust acquires the Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer
shall have full power and authority, in consultation with the Operating Adviser,
and subject to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement and
any applicable consultation rights of the holder of the related B Note relating
to an A/B Mortgage Loan, to do any and all things in connection therewith as are
consistent with the Servicing Standard, subject to the REMIC Provisions, and in
such manner as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Trust (and in the case of any A/B Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related B
Note and the Trust as a collective whole and in the case of any Loan Pair, the
holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and the Trust as a
collective whole), and, consistent therewith, may advance from its own funds to
pay for the following items (which amounts shall be reimbursed by the Master
Servicer or the Trust subject to Sections 4.4 in accordance with Section
4.6(e)), to the extent such amounts cannot be paid from REO Income:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO
Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO
Property that could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon;
and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain, operate,
lease and sell such REO Property (other than capital expenditures).
(d) The Special Servicer may, and to the extent necessary to (i)
preserve the status of the REO Property as "foreclosure property" under the
REMIC Provisions or (ii) avoid the imposition of a tax on "income from
nonpermitted assets" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, shall contract
with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of the REO
Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
inconsistent herewith;
-237-
(ii) the terms of such contract shall be consistent with the
provisions of Section 856 of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section
1.856-4(b)(5);
(iii) only to the extent consistent with (ii) above, any such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the operation and management of such Mortgaged Property underlying the REO
Property and (B) deposit on a daily basis all amounts payable to the Trust in
accordance with the contract between the Trust and the Independent Contractor in
an Eligible Account;
(iv) none of the provisions of this Section 9.14 relating to any
such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall
be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations
to the Trustee with respect to the operation and management of any such REO
Property;
(v) if the Independent Contractor is an Affiliate of the Special
Servicer, the consent of the Operating Adviser and a Nondisqualification Opinion
must be obtained; and
(vi) 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 the Trust (and, if
applicable, the holder of a B Note or a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan)
pursuant to this subsection (d) for indemnification of the Special Servicer by
such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
limit or modify such indemnification. All fees of the Independent Contractor
(other than fees paid for performing services within the ordinary duties of a
Special Servicer which shall be paid by the Special Servicer) shall be paid from
the income derived from the REO Property. To the extent that the income from the
REO Property is insufficient, such fees shall be advanced by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance, subject to the provisions of
Section 4.4 and Section 4.6(e) hereof.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special
Servicer shall not rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of the Trust
or the beneficial owners thereof with respect to REO Property which might cause
the REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (without giving effect to the final sentence
thereof) or result in the receipt by any REMIC of any "income from nonpermitted
assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or any "net income
from foreclosure property" which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions
unless (i) the Trustee and the Special Servicer have received an Opinion of
Counsel (at the Trust's sole expense) to the effect that, under the REMIC
Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation, any income generated for REMIC
I by the REO Property would not result in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I
or (ii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer
determines the income or earnings with respect to such REO Property will offset
any tax under the REMIC Provisions relating to such income or earnings and will
maximize the net recovery from the REO Property to the Certificateholders. The
Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee,
-238-
the Paying Agent and the Master Servicer of any election by it to incur such
tax, and the Special Servicer (i) shall hold in escrow in an Eligible Account an
amount equal to the tax payable thereby from revenues collected from the related
REO Property, (ii) provide the Paying Agent with all information for the Paying
Agent to file the necessary tax returns in connection therewith and (iii) upon
request from the Paying Agent, pay from such account to the Paying Agent the
amount of the applicable tax. The Paying Agent shall file the applicable tax
returns based on the information supplied by the Special Servicer and pay the
applicable tax from the amounts collected by the Special Servicer.
Subject to, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall not:
(i) permit the Trust to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease
with respect to the REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise
to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New
Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize or permit any construction on the REO Property,
other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then
only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other
improvement was completed before default on the Mortgage Loan became imminent,
all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) Directly Operate, other than through an Independent
Contractor, or allow any other Person to Directly Operate, other than through an
Independent Contractor, the REO Property on any date more than 90 days after the
Acquisition Date; unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has requested
and received an Opinion of Counsel at the Trust's sole expense to the effect
that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code
(without giving effect to the final sentence thereof) at any time that it is
held by the applicable REMIC Pool, in which case the Special Servicer may take
such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special
Servicer shall not have any obligations with respect to an REO Property that
relates to a Mortgaged Property that secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and
all references to the Special Servicer's obligations in this Agreement with
respect to "REO Property" shall exclude any such Mortgaged Property that secures
a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 9.15 SALE OF REO PROPERTY.
(a) In the event that title to any REO Property is acquired by the
Trust in respect of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trust, the Trustee or to its
nominees. The Special Servicer, after notice to the Operating Adviser, shall use
its reasonable best efforts to sell any REO Property as soon as practicable
consistent with the objective of maximizing proceeds for all Certificateholders
(and with respect to a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or a B Note, for the
holders of such loans, as a
-239-
collective whole), but in no event later than the end of the third calendar year
following the end of the year of its acquisition, and in any event prior to the
Rated Final Distribution Date or earlier to the extent necessary to comply with
REMIC provisions, unless (i) the Trustee, on behalf of the applicable REMIC
Pool, has been granted an extension of time (an "Extension") (which extension
shall be applied for at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the period
specified above) by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property (a
copy of which shall be delivered to the Paying Agent upon request), in which
case the Special Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for
its fair market value for such period longer than the period specified above as
such Extension permits or (ii) the Special Servicer seeks and subsequently
receives, at the expense of the Trust, a Nondisqualification Opinion, addressed
to the Trustee and the Special Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the
Trust of such REO Property subsequent to the period specified above after its
acquisition will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of a REMIC, as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, or cause
any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding. If the Trustee has not received an Extension or such Opinion of
Counsel and the Special Servicer is not able to sell such REO Property within
the period specified above, or if an Extension has been granted and the Special
Servicer is unable to sell such REO Property within the extended time period,
the Special Servicer shall, after consultation with the Operating Adviser,
before the end of such period or extended period, as the case may be, auction
the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special Servicer) in
accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that no Interested
Person shall be permitted to purchase the REO Property at a price less than the
Purchase Price (other than the Special Servicer in accordance with the next
succeeding proviso); and provided, further that if the Special Servicer intends
to bid on any REO Property, (i) the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee of
such intent, (ii) the Trustee shall promptly obtain, at the expense of the Trust
an Appraisal of such REO Property (or internal valuation in accordance with the
procedures specified in Section 6.9) and (iii) the Special Servicer shall not
bid less than the fair market value set forth in such Appraisal. Neither any
Seller nor the Depositor may purchase REO Property at a price in excess of the
fair market value thereof.
(b) Within 30 days of the sale of the REO Property, the Special
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Master Servicer
(and the holder of the related B Note, if any, if in connection with an A/B
Mortgage Loan and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, if
in connection with a Loan Pair) a statement of accounting for such REO Property,
including without limitation, (i) the Acquisition Date for the REO Property,
(ii) the date of disposition of the REO Property, (iii) the sale price and
related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest (including interest
deemed to have accrued) on the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to which the REO
Property related, calculated from the Acquisition Date to the disposition date,
(v) final property operating statements, and (vi) such other information as the
Trustee or the Paying Agent (and the holder of the related B Note, if any, if in
connection with an A/B Mortgage Loan and the holder of the related Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan, if in connection with a Loan Pair) may reasonably
request in writing.
(c) The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO
Property shall be deposited in the Certificate Account within one Business Day
of receipt.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special
Servicer shall not have any obligations with respect to an REO Property that
relates to a
-240-
Mortgaged Property that secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and all references
to the Special Servicer's obligations in this Agreement with respect to "REO
Property" shall exclude any such Mortgaged Property that secures a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 9.16 REALIZATION ON COLLATERAL SECURITY. In connection with
the enforcement of the rights of the Trust to any property securing any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan other than the related Mortgaged Property, the
Special Servicer shall consult with counsel to determine how best to enforce
such rights in a manner consistent with the REMIC Provisions and shall not,
based on a Nondisqualification Opinion addressed to the Special Servicer and the
Trustee (the cost of which shall be an expense of the Trust) take any action
that could result in the failure of any REMIC Pool to qualify as a REMIC while
any Certificates are outstanding, unless such action has been approved by a vote
of 100% of each Class of Certificateholders (including the Class R-I, Class R-II
and Class R-III Certificateholders).
SECTION 9.17 RESERVED
SECTION 9.18 ANNUAL OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE AS TO COMPLIANCE. The
Special Servicer shall deliver to the Paying Agent and the Master Servicer on or
before noon (Eastern Time) on March 15 of each calendar year (or March 14 if a
leap year), commencing in March 2006, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to
the signer thereof, that (A) a review of the activities of the Special Servicer
during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of the performance of
the Special Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such officer's
supervision and (B) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such
review, the Special Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this
Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a
default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default
known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. The Special Servicer
shall deliver such Officer's Certificate to the Depositor and the Trustee by
April 7 of each calendar year. The Special Servicer shall forward a copy of each
such statement to the Rating Agencies. The Paying Agent shall forward a copy of
each such statement to the Luxembourg Paying Agent. Promptly after receipt of
such Officer's Certificate, the Depositor shall review the Officer's Certificate
and, if applicable, consult with the Special Servicer as to the nature of any
defaults by the Special Servicer in the fulfillment of any of the Special
Servicer's obligations hereunder.
SECTION 9.19 ANNUAL INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' SERVICING REPORT. On or
before noon (Eastern Time) on March 15 of each calendar year (or March 14 if a
leap year), beginning with March 2006, the Special Servicer at its expense shall
cause a nationally recognized firm of Independent public accountants (who may
also render other services to the Special Servicer, as applicable) to furnish to
the Paying Agent and the Master Servicer (in electronic format) a statement to
the effect that (a) such firm has examined certain documents and records
relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or the
servicing of mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans under substantially
similar agreements for the preceding calendar year and (b) the assertion by
management of the Special Servicer, that it maintained an effective internal
control system over the servicing of such mortgage loans is fairly stated in all
material respects, based upon established criteria, which statement meets the
standards applicable to accountant's reports intended for general distribution;
provided that each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be
required to cause the delivery of such statement until April 15 in any given
year so long as it has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a
Report on Form 10-K is not required to
-241-
be filed in respect of the Trust Fund for the preceding calendar year. The
Special Servicer shall deliver such statement to the Depositor, each Rating
Agency, the Trustee, and, upon request, the Operating Adviser by April 7 of each
calendar year (or by April 30 of each calendar year if the statement is not
required to be delivered until April 15). The Paying Agent shall promptly
deliver such statement to the Luxembourg Paying Agent. Promptly after receipt of
such report, the Depositor shall review the report and, if applicable, consult
with the Special Servicer as to the nature of any defaults by the Special
Servicer in the fulfillment of any of the Special Servicer's obligations
hereunder.
SECTION 9.20 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. Any Person into which the
Special Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Special
Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Special Servicer, shall be the successor of the Special Servicer hereunder,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that each of the Rating Agencies
provides a Rating Agency Confirmation (including with respect to any securities
rated by a Rating Agency evidencing interests in any Serviced Companion Mortgage
Loan or B Note). If the conditions to the proviso in the foregoing sentence are
not met, the Trustee may terminate the Special Servicer's servicing of the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans pursuant hereto, such termination to be
effected in the manner set forth in Section 9.31.
SECTION 9.21 RESIGNATION OF SPECIAL SERVICER.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.21, the Special
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
unless it determines that the Special Servicer's duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Special Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master
Servicer, the Operating Adviser and the Trustee. No such resignation shall
become effective until a successor servicer designated by the Operating Adviser
and the Trustee shall have (i) satisfied the requirements that would apply
pursuant to Section 9.20 hereof if a merger of the Special Servicer had
occurred, (ii) assumed the Special Servicer's responsibilities and obligations
under this Agreement and (iii) Rating Agency Confirmation (including with
respect to any securities rated by a Rating Agency evidencing interests in any
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note) shall have been obtained. Notice of
such resignation shall be given promptly by the Special Servicer to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee.
(b) The Special Servicer may resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it, upon reasonable notice to the Trustee, provided that (i) a
successor Special Servicer is (x) available, (y) reasonably acceptable to the
Operating Adviser, the Depositor, and the Trustee, and (z) willing to assume the
obligations, responsibilities and covenants to be performed hereunder by the
Special Servicer on substantially the same terms and conditions, and for not
more than equivalent compensation as that herein provided, (ii) the successor
Special Servicer has assets of at least $15,000,000 and (iii) Rating Agency
Confirmation is obtained with respect to such resignation, as evidenced by a
letter from each Rating Agency delivered to the Trustee. Any costs of such
resignation and of obtaining a replacement Special Servicer shall be borne by
the Special Servicer and shall not be an expense of the Trust.
-242-
(c) No such resignation under paragraph (b) above shall become
effective unless and until such successor Special Servicer enters into a
servicing agreement with the Trustee assuming the obligations and
responsibilities of the Special Servicer hereunder in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.
(d) Upon any resignation of the Special Servicer, it shall retain the
right to receive any and all Work-Out Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans,
any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and any B Note that became Rehabilitated
Mortgage Loans during the period in which it acted as Special Servicer and that
were still Rehabilitated Mortgage Loans at the time of such resignation (and the
successor Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such Work-Out
Fees), in each case until such time (if any) as such Mortgage Loan, Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan or are no longer included in the Trust.
SECTION 9.22 ASSIGNMENT OR DELEGATION OF DUTIES BY SPECIAL SERVICER.
The Special Servicer shall have the right without the prior written consent of
the Trustee to (A) delegate or subcontract with or authorize or appoint anyone,
or delegate certain duties to other professionals such as attorneys and
appraisers, as an agent of the Special Servicer or Sub-Servicers (as provided in
Section 9.3) to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed and carried out by the Special Servicer hereunder or (B) assign and
delegate all of its duties hereunder. In the case of any such assignment and
delegation in accordance with the requirements of clause (A) of this Section,
the Special Servicer shall not be released from its obligations under this
Agreement. In the case of any such assignment and delegation in accordance with
the requirements of clause (B) of this Section, the Special Servicer shall be
released from its obligations under this Agreement, except that the Special
Servicer shall remain liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it
as the Special Servicer hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the following
conditions: (i) the Special Servicer gives the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Primary Servicer and the Trustee notice of such assignment and delegation;
(ii) such purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation
executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting
such assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights,
powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Special
Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement;
(iii) the purchaser or transferee has assets in excess of $15,000,000; (iv) such
assignment and delegation is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation; and
(v) the Depositor consents to such assignment and delegation, such consent not
be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the above, the Special Servicer may
appoint Sub-Servicers in accordance with Section 9.3 hereof.
SECTION 9.23 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE SPECIAL SERVICER AND
OTHERS.
(a) Neither the Special Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Special Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Certificateholders, the holder of any B Note, the holder of any Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan or the Trustee for any action taken or for refraining
from the taking of any action in good faith and using reasonable business
judgment; provided that this provision shall not protect the Special Servicer or
any such person against any breach of a representation or warranty contained
herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of duties hereunder or
by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties
-243-
hereunder. The Special Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Special Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima
facie properly executed and submitted by any Person (including, without
limitation, the information and reports delivered by or at the direction of the
Master Servicer or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master
Servicer) respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Special Servicer shall
not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
which is not incidental to its duties to service the Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans in accordance with this Agreement; provided that the Special Servicer may
in its sole discretion undertake any such action which it may reasonably deem
necessary or desirable in order to protect the interests of the
Certificateholders, the holder of any B Note, the holder of any Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan and the Trustee in the Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans, or shall undertake any such action if instructed to do so by the Trustee.
In such event, all legal expenses and costs of such action (other than those
that are connected with the routine performance by the Special Servicer of its
duties hereunder) shall be expenses and costs of the Trust, and the Special
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor as a Servicing Advance,
together with interest thereon, as provided by Section 5.2 hereof.
Notwithstanding any term in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not be
relieved from liability to, or entitled to indemnification from, the Trust for
any action taken by it at the direction of the Operating Adviser which is in
conflict with the Servicing Standard.
(b) In addition, the Special Servicer shall have no liability with
respect to, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Special Servicer and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement. Neither the Special Servicer, nor any director, officer,
employee, agent or Affiliate, shall be personally liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by any officer, unless it shall be proved that the
Special Servicer or such officer was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts. Neither the Special Servicer, nor any director, officer, employee, agent
or Affiliate, shall be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the
discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement. The Special
Servicer shall be entitled to rely on reports and information supplied to it by
the Master Servicer and the related Mortgagors and shall have no duty to
investigate or confirm the accuracy of any such report or information.
(c) The Special Servicer shall not be obligated to incur any
liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which relate to or arise
from any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Fiscal Agent or the Trustee in this
Agreement. The Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Special Servicer from
any and all claims, liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which
relate to or arise from any such breach of representation, warranty or covenant
to the extent such amounts are not recoverable from the party committing such
breach.
(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein:
(i) the Special Servicer
