"YIELD RATE") on securities issued by the United States Treasury having a
maturity corresponding to such Mortgage Loan's Yield Maintenance Discounting
Horizon, as the Yield Rate is quoted using the applicable Yield Maintenance
Treasury Source and Selection Date.

basis points if the value specified for the subject Mortgage Loan in the column
labeled "Yield Maintenance Interest Rate" on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is
"Treasury +X" or by zero (0) basis points if the value is "Treasury Flat" or
"T-Flat".
The Yield Maintenance Interest Rate, as adjusted in the

Maintenance Interest Rate Converted to Monthly Mortgage Rate" on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule is "Yes".

SECTION 1.03. Certain Calculations in Respect of the Mortgage
Pool.
(a) All amounts collected in respect of any
Cross-Collateralized Group (which shall not include the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] Loan Group), including in the form of payments from Borrowers,
Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, shall be
applied among the Mortgage Loans constituting such Cross-Collateralized Group in
accordance with the express provisions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents
and, in the absence of such express provisions or if such documents authorize
the lender to use its discretion, on a PRO RATA basis in accordance with the
respective amounts then "due and owing" as to each such Mortgage Loan. All
amounts collected in respect of or allocable to any particular Serviced Mortgage
Loan (such allocation to be made pursuant to the prior sentence if such Mortgage
Loan constitutes part of a Cross-Collateralized Group), including in the form of
payments from Borrowers, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds, shall be applied to amounts due and owing under such
Mortgage Loan (including for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in
accordance with the express provisions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents
and, in the absence of such express provisions or if and to the extent that such
documents authorize the lender to use its discretion, as follows: FIRST, as a
recovery of any related and unreimbursed Servicing Advances and, if applicable,
unpaid Liquidation Expenses; SECOND, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid
interest on such Mortgage Loan to, but not including, the date of receipt (or,
in the case of a full Monthly Payment from any Borrower, through the related Due
Date), exclusive, however, of any portion of such accrued and unpaid interest
that constitutes Default Interest or, in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan after
its Anticipated Repayment Date, that constitutes Post-ARD Additional Interest;
THIRD, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan then due and owing,
including by reason of acceleration of the Mortgage Loan following a default
thereunder (or, if a Liquidation Event has occurred in respect of such Mortgage
Loan, as a recovery of principal to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid
principal balance); FOURTH, unless a Liquidation Event has occurred in respect
of such Mortgage Loan, as a recovery of amounts to be currently applied to the
payment of, or escrowed for the future payment of, real estate taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items;
FIFTH, unless a Liquidation Event has occurred in respect of such Mortgage Loan,
as a recovery of Reserve Funds to the extent then required to be held in escrow;
SIXTH, as a recovery of any Default Charges then due and owing under such
Mortgage Loan; SEVENTH, as a recovery of any Prepayment Premium then due and
owing under such Mortgage Loan; EIGHTH, as a recovery of any assumption fees,
assumption application fees and modification fees then due and owing under such
Mortgage Loan; NINTH, as a recovery of any other amounts then due and owing
under such Mortgage Loan other than remaining unpaid principal and, in the case
of an ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, other than
Post-ARD Additional Interest; TENTH, as a recovery of any remaining principal of
such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal
balance; and, ELEVENTH, in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan after its
Anticipated Repayment Date, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid Post-ARD
Additional Interest on such ARD Mortgage Loan to, but not including, the date of
receipt.
(b) Collections in respect of any Administered REO Property
(exclusive of amounts to be applied to the payment of the costs of operating,
managing, maintaining and disposing of such REO Property) shall be applied for
purposes of this Agreement (including for purposes of determining distributions
on the Certificates pursuant to ARTICLE IV and additional compensation payable
to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any Sub-Servicers and also for
reporting purposes) as follows: FIRST, as a recovery of any related and
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and, if applicable, unpaid
-70-
Liquidation Expenses; SECOND, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on
the related REO Loan to, but not including, the Due Date in the Collection
Period of receipt (exclusive, however, of any portion of such accrued and unpaid
interest that constitutes Default Interest or, in the case of an REO Loan that
relates to an ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, that
constitutes Post-ARD Additional Interest); THIRD, as a recovery of principal of
the related REO Loan to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance;
FOURTH, as a recovery of any Default Charges deemed to be due and owing in
respect of the related REO Loan; FIFTH, as a recovery of any Prepayment Premium
deemed to be due and owing in respect of the related REO Loan; SIXTH, as a
recovery of any other amounts deemed to be due and owing in respect of the
related REO Loan (other than, in the case of an REO Loan that relates to an ARD
Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, accrued and unpaid Post-ARD
Additional Interest); and SEVENTH, in the case of an REO Loan that relates to an
ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, any accrued and unpaid
Post-ARD Additional Interest to, but not including, the date of receipt.
(c) Amounts received by the Master Servicer on behalf of the
Trust as remittances under a [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing
Agreement with respect to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan shall be allocated, subject to the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Intercreditor Agreements, among interest
(other than Additional Interest), principal, Prepayment Premiums, Additional
Interest and other amounts due thereon consistent with Section ______ of the
[Other CMBS Series PSA] or any comparable section of any other [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement.
(d) For the purposes of this Agreement, Post-ARD Additional
Interest on an ARD Mortgage Loan or a successor REO Loan with respect thereto
shall be deemed not to constitute principal or any portion thereof and shall not
be added to the unpaid principal balance or Stated Principal Balance of such ARD
Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan Documents so permit. To the extent any Post-ARD Additional
Interest is not paid on a current basis, it shall be deemed to be deferred
interest.
(e) Insofar as amounts received in respect of any Serviced
Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property and allocable to shared fees and
shared charges owing in respect of such Mortgage Loan or the related REO Loan,
as the case may be, that constitute Additional Master Servicing Compensation
payable to the Master Servicer and/or Additional Special Servicing Compensation
payable to the Special Servicer, are insufficient to cover the full amount of
such fees and charges, such amounts shall be allocated between such of those
fees and charges as are payable to the Master Servicer, on the one hand, and
such of those fees and charges as are payable to the Special Servicer, on the
other, PRO RATA in accordance with their respective entitlements in accordance
with SECTION 3.11.
(f) The foregoing applications of amounts received in respect
of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall be determined by the Master Servicer,
in its reasonable judgment, and reflected in the appropriate monthly report from
the Master Servicer and in the appropriate monthly Statement to
Certificateholders as provided in SECTION 4.02.
SECTION 1.04. Application of Default Charges.
(a) Any and all Default Charges that are actually received
with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (and, in the case of the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any
-71-
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan, that are remitted to the Master
Servicer on behalf of the Trust under a [Separately Serviced Mortgage
Loan]Servicing Agreement or, if ARTICLE XII is in effect, are transferred from
the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Custodial Account to the Collection
Account pursuant to SECTION 12.04(B)), shall be applied for the following
purposes and in the following order, in each case to the extent of the remaining
portion of such Default Charges:
FIRST, to pay to any Fiscal Agent, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, in that order, any Advance Interest
due and owing to such party on outstanding Advances made thereby with
respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be;
SECOND, to reimburse the Trust for any Advance Interest paid
to any Fiscal Agent, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer since the Closing Date with respect to such Mortgage Loan or
REO Loan, as the case may be, which interest was paid from a source
other than Default Charges collected on such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan,
as the case may be;
THIRD, to pay any outstanding expense incurred by the Special
Servicer in connection with inspecting the related Mortgaged Property
or REO Property, as applicable, pursuant to SECTION 3.12;
FOURTH, to reimburse the Trust for any expenses reimbursed to
the Special Servicer since the Closing Date in connection with
inspecting the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as
applicable, pursuant to SECTION 3.12, which expenses were previously
paid from a source other than Default Charges collected on such
Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be;
FIFTH, to pay the appropriate party for any other outstanding
expense (exclusive of Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and
Liquidation Fees) incurred thereby with respect to such Mortgage Loan
or REO Loan, as the case may be, which expense, if not paid out of
Default Charges collected on such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the
case may be, will likely become an Additional Trust Fund Expense;
SIXTH, to reimburse the Trust for any other Additional Trust
Fund Expense (exclusive of Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and
Liquidation Fees) paid to the appropriate party since the Closing Date
with respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be,
which Additional Trust Fund Expense was paid from a source other than
Default Charges collected on such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the
case may be; and
SEVENTH, to pay any remaining portion of such Default Charges
as Additional Master Servicing Compensation to the Master Servicer, if
such Default Charges were collected when the loan was a Performing
Serviced Mortgage Loan or were collected with respect to the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] REO Loan, and otherwise to pay any remaining portion of
such Default Charges as Additional Special Servicing Compensation to
the Special Servicer.
(b) Default Charges applied to reimburse the Trust pursuant to
any of CLAUSE SECOND, CLAUSE FOURTH or CLAUSE SIXTH of SECTION 1.04(A) are
intended to be available for distribution on the Certificates pursuant to
SECTION 4.01(A) and SECTION 4.01(B), subject to application pursuant to SECTION
3.05(A) or 3.05(B) for any items payable out of general collections on the
Mortgage Pool. Default
-72-
Charges applied to reimburse the Trust pursuant to any of CLAUSE SECOND, CLAUSE
FOURTH or CLAUSE SIXTH of SECTION 1.04(A) shall be deemed to offset payments of
Advance Interest, costs of property inspections or, except for Special Servicing
Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees, other Additional Trust Fund Expenses
(depending on which clause is applicable) in the chronological order in which
they were made or incurred with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan or REO Loan
(whereupon such Advance Interest, costs of property inspections or, except for
Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees, other Additional
Trust Fund Expenses (depending on which clause is applicable) shall thereafter
be deemed to have been paid out of Default Charges).
SECTION 1.05. Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is hereby
acknowledged that the groups of Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule as being cross-collateralized with each other are, in the case of each
such particular group of Mortgage Loans, by their terms, cross-defaulted and
cross-collateralized with each other. For purposes of reference only in this
Agreement, and without in any way limiting the servicing rights and powers of
the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, with respect to any
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan (or successor REO Loan), the Mortgaged
Property (or REO Property) that relates or corresponds thereto shall be the
property identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as corresponding thereto. The
provisions of this Agreement, including each of the defined terms set forth in
SECTION 1.01, shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this SECTION
1.05; PROVIDED that, if there exists with respect to any Cross-Collateralized
Group only one original of any document referred to in the definition of
"Mortgage File" covering all the Mortgage Loans in such Cross-Collateralized
Group, then the inclusion of the original of such document in the Mortgage File
for any of the Mortgage Loans constituting such Cross-Collateralized Group shall
be deemed an inclusion of such original in the Mortgage File for each such
Mortgage Loan.

INTERESTS AND CERTIFICATES
SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that a common
law trust be established under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to
this Agreement and, further, that such trust be designated as "Citigroup
Commercial Mortgage Trust __________". ______ is hereby appointed, and does
hereby agree to act, as Trustee hereunder and, in such capacity, to hold the
Trust Fund in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. It is not intended that this Agreement create a partnership
or a joint-stock association.
(b) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof, does hereby sell, assign, transfer and otherwise convey to the
Trustee without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders, all the
right, title and interest of the Depositor in, to and under (i) the Mortgage
Loans, all payments under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after the
Closing Date (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or
before the Cut-off Date), all Principal Prepayments and corresponding interest
payments on the Mortgage Loans received after the Cut-off Date through and
including the Closing Date, and all documents included in the related Mortgage
Files and any related Additional Collateral; (ii) any REO Property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of any [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] REO Property, the Trust's interest therein); (iii) such funds or
assets as from time to time are deposited in the Collection Account, the
Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account, the REO Account (if established), the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] Custodial Account (if established) and the [Other CMBS Series]
Companion Loan Custodial Account; (iv) each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement;
(v) the Loan REMIC Interests and the Loan REMIC Declarations; (vi) the Group
Terrorism Insurance Policy and (vii) all other assets included or to be included
in the Trust Fund. This conveyance is subject to: the terms and conditions of
the respective Mortgage Loan Documents (including the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] Intercreditor Agreements, in the case of the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan], and the Loan REMIC Declarations, in the case of the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] and the Early Defeasance Mortgage Loans); and the right
of the Designated Sub-Servicers to primary service (or to perform select
servicing duties with respect to) certain of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the
respective Designated Sub-Servicer Agreements.
Under GAAP, the Depositor shall report: (i) its acquisition of
the CGMRC Mortgage Loans from CGMRC, pursuant to the CGMRC Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, as a purchase of such Mortgage Loans from CGMRC; (ii) its
acquisition of the [Seller No. 2] Mortgage Loans from [Seller No. 2], pursuant
to the [Seller No. 2] Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as a purchase of such
Mortgage Loans from [Seller No. 2]; (iii) its acquisition of the [Seller No. 3]
Mortgage Loans from [Seller No. 3], pursuant to the [Seller No. 3] Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, as a purchase of such [Seller No. 3] Mortgage Loans from
[Seller No. 3]; and (iv) its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee,
pursuant to this SECTION 2.01(B), as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee
on behalf of the
-74-
Certificateholders. In connection with the foregoing, the Depositor shall cause
all of its records to reflect such acquisitions as purchases and such transfer
as a sale (in each case, as opposed to a secured loan).
After the Depositor's transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee pursuant to this SECTION 2.01(B), the Depositor shall not take any
action inconsistent with the Trust's ownership of the Mortgage Loans.
(c) The conveyance to the Trust of the Mortgage Loans (and, in
the case of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] and the Early Defeasance
Mortgage Loans, the related Loan REMIC Interests) and the related rights and
property accomplished hereby is absolute and is intended by the parties hereto
to constitute an absolute transfer of the Mortgage Loans (and, in the case of
the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] and the Early Defeasance Mortgage Loans,
the related Loan REMIC Interests) and such other related rights and property by
the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for
a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan,
however, the parties hereto intend that the rights and obligations of the
parties to such loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. The parties hereto also intend and agree that, in such event, (i)
this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, (ii)
the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee (in such capacity)
a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to the assets constituting the Trust Fund, including the
Mortgage Loans and the Loan REMIC Interests subject hereto from time to time,
all principal and interest received on or with respect to such Mortgage Loans
and Loan REMIC Interests after the Closing Date (other than scheduled payments
of interest and principal due and payable on the Mortgage Loans and the Loan
REMIC Interests on or prior to the Cut-off Date), all amounts held from time to
time in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve
Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, the REO Account (if
established), the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Custodial Account (if
established) and the [Other CMBS Series] Companion Loan Custodial Account, and
all reinvestment earnings on such amounts, and all of the Depositor's right,
title and interest under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (iii) the
possession by the Trustee or its agent of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and the Loan REMIC Interests subject hereto from time to time and
such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable
documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured
party" or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law, and
(iv) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from,
Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries,
bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting
such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor shall file or cause
to be filed, as a precautionary filing, a UCC Financing Statement substantially
in the form attached as EXHIBIT J hereto in all appropriate locations in the
State of Delaware promptly following the initial issuance of the Certificates,
and the Trustee shall prepare, execute (if necessary) and file at each such
office, continuation statements with respect thereto, in each case within six
months prior to the fifth anniversary of the immediately preceding filing. The
Depositor hereby authorizes the Trustee to prepare, execute (if necessary) and
file in the name of the Depositor, and shall cooperate in a reasonable manner
with the Trustee in preparing and filing, such continuation statements. This
SECTION 2.01(C) shall constitute notice to the Trustee pursuant to any
requirements of the UCC in effect in each applicable jurisdiction.
-75-
(d) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to
SECTION 2.01(B) above, the Depositor hereby represents and warrants that it has
contractually obligated each Mortgage Loan Seller, pursuant to the related
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, to deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be
delivered to and deposited with, the Trustee, on or before the Closing Date, the
Mortgage File and any Additional Collateral (other than Reserve Funds and Escrow
Payments) for each Mortgage Loan acquired by the Depositor from such Mortgage
Loan Seller. In addition, with respect to each Mortgage Loan under which any
Additional Collateral is in the form of a Letter of Credit as of the Closing
Date, the Depositor hereby represents and warrants that it has contractually
obligated the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the next paragraph, to
cause to be prepared, executed and delivered to the issuer of each such Letter
of Credit such notices, assignments and acknowledgments as are required under
such Letter of Credit to assign, without recourse, to the Trustee the related
Mortgage Loan Seller's rights as the beneficiary thereof and drawing party
thereunder. The Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee on or before the Closing
Date a fully executed counterpart of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Mortgage Loan Seller is
unable to deliver any Letter of Credit constituting Additional Collateral for
any of its Mortgage Loans, then that Mortgage Loan Seller may, in lieu thereof,
deliver on behalf of the related Borrower, to be used for the same purposes as
such missing Letter of Credit either: (i) a substitute instrument substantially
comparable to, but in all cases in the same amount and with the same draw
conditions and renewal rights as, that Letter of Credit and issued by an obligor
that meets any criteria in the related Mortgage Loan Documents applicable to the
issuer of that Letter of Credit; or (ii) a cash reserve in an amount equal to
the amount of that Letter of Credit. For purposes of the delivery requirements
of this SECTION 2.01, any such substitute instrument shall be deemed to be
Additional Collateral of the type covered by the prior paragraph of this SECTION
2.01(D) and any such cash reserve shall be deemed to be Reserve Funds of the
type covered by SECTION 2.01(F).
(e) As soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within 90
days after the later of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which all
recording information necessary to complete the subject document is received by
the Trustee, the Trustee is hereby authorized and shall complete (to the extent
necessary), and shall submit for recording or filing, as the case may be,
including via electronic means, if appropriate, in or with the appropriate
office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as applicable,
each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases in favor of
the Trustee referred to in CLAUSES (A)(IV) and (A)(V) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" that has been received by the Trustee and each UCC Financing
Statement Amendment in favor of the Trustee referred to in CLAUSE (A)(VIII) of
the definition of "Mortgage File" that has been received by the Trustee. Each
such assignment shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording
office to the Trustee following recording, and each such UCC Financing Statement
Amendment shall reflect that the file copy thereof or an appropriate receipt
therefor, as applicable, should be returned to the Trustee following filing;
PROVIDED that in those instances where the public recording office retains the
original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases the Master
Servicer shall, at the direction of the Trustee, obtain from such public
recording office and deliver to the Trustee a certified copy of the recorded
original. At such time as any such assignments, UCC Financing Statement
Amendments or verifications of electronic filing have been returned to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall, upon request, forward a copy thereof to the Master
Servicer. If any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or
unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Trustee shall
-76-
direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to prepare or cause to be prepared
promptly, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, a substitute
therefor or to cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the Trustee
shall, upon receipt thereof, cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as
appropriate. If any Mortgage Loan Seller has been so notified and has not
prepared a substitute document or cured such defect, as the case may be, within
60 days, the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Rating Agencies and the Controlling Class Representative. The
Depositor and the Trustee hereby acknowledge and agree that each Mortgage Loan
Seller shall be responsible for paying the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket
expenses of the Trustee in connection with the above-referenced recording and
filing of documents insofar as it relates to the Mortgage Loans acquired by the
Depositor from such Mortgage Loan Seller, as and to the extent provided for in
the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; PROVIDED that no Mortgage Loan
Seller shall actually record or file any such documents.
(f) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to
SECTION 2.01(B) above, the Depositor hereby represents and warrants that it has
contractually obligated each Mortgage Loan Seller, at such Mortgage Loan
Seller's expense, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, to
deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the
Master Servicer, within 10 days following the Closing Date, each of the
following items that are in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage
Loan Seller and that relate to the Mortgage Loans transferred by it to the
Depositor (except to the extent that any of the following items are to be
retained by a primary servicer that will continue to act on behalf of the Master
Servicer as a Sub-Servicer): (i) originals or copies of all property-specific
financial statements, appraisals, environmental/engineering reports, transaction
screens, leases, rent rolls, third-party underwriting reports, insurance
policies, legal opinions, property management agreements, tenant estoppels,
subordination and non-disturbance agreements, and any other relevant documents
that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer reasonably deems necessary to
service the subject Mortgage Loan and specifies to such Mortgage Loan Seller in
writing and, to the extent they are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File
for any such Mortgage Loan, originals or copies of all documents, certificates
and opinions that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Borrowers in
connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (PROVIDED that such
Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client
privileged communication or any documents or materials prepared by it or its
Affiliates solely for internal uses); and (ii) all unapplied Reserve Funds and
Escrow Payments. The Master Servicer shall hold all such documents, records and
funds that it so receives on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders.
(g) The Depositor shall be responsible for paying the on-going
surveillance fees of the Rating Agencies, which may be in the form of a one time
up-front payment.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of Mortgage Assets by Trustee.
(a) Subject to the other provisions in this SECTION 2.02, the
Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby accepts receipt
on behalf of the Trust, directly or through a Custodian on its behalf, of (i)
the Mortgage Loans and all documents delivered to it that constitute portions of
the related Mortgage Files, (ii) the Loan REMIC Interests and the Loan REMIC
Declarations and (iii) all other assets delivered to it and included in the
Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, and declares
that it or a Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and any
other documents received by it that constitute portions of the Mortgage Files,
and that it holds and will hold the Mortgage Loans, the Loan REMIC Interests and
such other assets,
-77-
together with any other assets subsequently delivered to it that are to be
included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee shall hold any Letter of
Credit in a custodial capacity only and shall have no obligation to maintain,
extend the term of, enforce or otherwise pursue any rights under such Letter of
Credit. In connection with the foregoing, the Trustee hereby certifies to each
of the parties hereto and to the Mortgage Loan Sellers that, as to each Mortgage
Loan, except as specifically identified in the Schedule of Exceptions to
Mortgage File Delivery attached hereto as EXHIBIT B-2, (i) the Specially
Designated Mortgage Loan Documents (without regard to Assignments of Leases,
modification agreements and assumption agreements) are in its possession or the
possession of a Custodian on its behalf and (ii) such Mortgage Loan Documents
have been reviewed by it or such Custodian and each (A) appears regular on its
face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute
irregularities if initialed by the related Borrower and lender), (B) appears to
have been executed and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan.
(b) On or about the 60th day following the Closing Date (and,
if any exceptions are noted or if the recordation/filing contemplated by SECTION
2.01(E) has not been completed (based solely on receipt by the Trustee or a
Custodian on its behalf of the particular documents showing evidence of the
recordation/filing), every 90 days thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date
on which such exceptions are eliminated and such recordation/filing has been
completed and (ii) the date on which all the affected Mortgage Loans are removed
from the Trust Fund), the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall review the
documents delivered to it with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and the Trustee
shall, subject to SECTIONS 1.05, 2.02(C) and 2.02(D), certify in writing
(substantially in the form of EXHIBIT B-3) to each of the other parties hereto,
the Mortgage Loan Sellers and the Controlling Class Representative that, as to
each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically
identified in any exception report annexed to such certification, which
exception report, if and to the extent applicable and delivered to any Mortgage
Loan Seller shall constitute notice to such Mortgage Loan Seller of any Document
Defects identified thereon): (i) if such Mortgage Loan is a Serviced Mortgage
Loan, the original Mortgage Note specified in CLAUSE (A)(I) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" and all allonges thereto, if any (or a copy of such Mortgage
Note, together with a "lost note affidavit and indemnity" certifying that the
original of such Mortgage Note has been lost), the original or a copy of each
document specified in CLAUSES (A)(II), (A)(IV), and (A)(VII) of the definition

(A)(III), (A)(V), (A)(IX), (A)(X), (A)(XI), (A)(XII), (A)(XIII) and (A)(XIV) of
the definition of "Mortgage File" (to the extent that the Trustee has actual
knowledge that such documents exist) and any other Specially Designated Mortgage
Loan Documents (without regard to modification agreements and assumption
agreements), have been received by the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf;
(ii) if such Mortgage Loan is the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan], the
original Mortgage Note specified in CLAUSE (B)(I) of the definition of "Mortgage
File" and all allonges thereto, if any (or a copy of such Mortgage Note,
together with a "lost note affidavit and indemnity" certifying that the original
of such Mortgage Note has been lost), and the original or a copy of each
document specified in CLAUSES (B)(II), (B)(III) and (B)(IV) of the definition of
"Mortgage File", have been received by the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf;
(iii) if such report is more than 180 days after the Closing Date, the
recordation/filing contemplated by SECTION 2.01(E) (except in the case of the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]) has been completed (based solely on receipt
by the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf of the particular recorded/filed
documents or an appropriate receipt of recording/filing therefor); (iv) all
documents received by it with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed
by the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf and (A) appear regular on their face
(handwritten additions, changes or
-78-
corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the related
Borrower and lender), (B) appear to have been executed and (C) purport to relate
to such Mortgage Loan; and (v) based on the examinations referred to in SECTION
2.02(A) above and this SECTION 2.02(B) and only as to the foregoing documents,
the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the
items specified in CLAUSES (III)(A) and (VI)(B) of the definition of "Mortgage
Loan Schedule" accurately reflects the information set forth in the Mortgage
File. The Trustee shall deliver electronically or via its website to the
Controlling Class Representative and, upon request, to any other party to this
Agreement, the Rating Agencies or the Certificateholders current exception
reports for as long as there are exceptions outstanding.
(c) None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or any Custodian is under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or
examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating
to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid,
legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for
the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face. Furthermore, except as expressly provided in SECTION 2.01(E), none
of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Custodian shall
have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or
endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of
any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable
jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable
jurisdiction.
(d) In performing the reviews contemplated by SUBSECTIONS (A)
and (B) above, the Trustee or any Custodian on its behalf may conclusively rely
on the related Mortgage Loan Seller as to the purported genuineness of any such
document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the
Trustee's or such Custodian's review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to
confirming that the documents specified in CLAUSES (A)(I), (A)(II), (A)(III) (to
the extent that the Trustee has actual knowledge that such documents exist),
(A)(IV), (A)(V) (to the extent that the Trustee has actual knowledge that such
documents exist), (A)(VI) (to the extent that the Trustee has actual knowledge
that such documents exist), (A)(VII), (A)(IX) through (A)(XIII) (to the extent
that the Trustee has actual knowledge that such documents exist), (A)(XIV),
(B)(I), (B)(II), (B)(III) and (B)(IV) of the definition of "Mortgage File" and
any other Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Documents (without regard to
modification agreements and assumption agreements) have been received and such
additional information as will be necessary for making and/or delivering the
certifications required by SUBSECTIONS (A) and (B) above.
With respect to any of the documents described in CLAUSES
(A)(III), (A)(V), (A)(VI), (A)(IX), (A)(X), (A)(XI), (A)(XII) and (A)(XIII) of
the definition of "Mortgage File", the Trustee shall be deemed to have knowledge
of the existence of the subject document in respect of any Serviced Mortgage
Loan if the subject document is listed on any closing binder index that may be
delivered to the Trustee as part of, or in connection with the delivery of, the
Mortgage File for such Serviced Mortgage Loan.
With respect to the documents described in CLAUSE (VIII) of
the definition of "Mortgage File", absent actual knowledge to the contrary or
copies of UCC Financing Statements delivered to the Trustee as part of the
Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Trustee may assume, for purposes of the
certification(s) to be made or otherwise delivered pursuant to this SECTION
2.02, that the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan should include one
state-level UCC Financing Statement filed in the state of incorporation or
organization of the related Borrower for each Mortgaged Property (or with
respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Borrowers, for each related
Borrower). To the extent
-79-
appropriate under applicable law, the UCCs to be assigned to the Trust will be
delivered on the new national forms and in recordable form and will be filed in
the state of incorporation or organization as so indicated on the documents
provided. To the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge or is notified of any
fixture or real property UCC Financing Statements, the Trustee shall file an
assignment to the Trust with respect to such UCC Financing Statements in the
appropriate jurisdiction under the UCC at the expense of the related Mortgage
Loan Seller (to the extent provided in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement).
SECTION 2.03. Certain Repurchases of Mortgage Loans by the
Mortgage Loan Sellers.
(a) If any party hereto discovers, or receives notice from a
non-party, that a Document Defect or Breach exists with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, then such party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other
parties hereto, including (unless it is the party that discovered the Document
Defect or Breach) the Trustee. Upon the Trustee's discovery or receipt of notice
that a Document Defect or Breach exists with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the
Trustee shall notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Controlling
Class Representative, the Rating Agencies and the related Mortgage Loan Seller.
(b) Promptly upon its becoming aware of any Material Document
Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan or its receipt of
notice from the Trustee or any other party to this Agreement of a Material
Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall (and the Special Servicer may) notify the related Mortgage Loan
Seller with respect thereto in writing of such Material Document Defect or
Material Breach, as the case may be, and direct such Mortgage Loan Seller that
it must, not later than 90 days from the receipt by such Mortgage Loan Seller of
such notice (or, if such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the
case may be, relates to whether such Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing
Date, was a Qualified Mortgage, and PROVIDED that such Mortgage Loan Seller
received prompt written notice thereof, within 90 days after any earlier
discovery by any party to this Agreement of such Material Breach or Material
Document Defect, as the case may be) (such 90-day period, in any case, the
"INITIAL RESOLUTION PERIOD"), correct or cure such Material Document Defect or
Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, or repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan (as, if and to the extent required by the related
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), at the applicable Purchase Price; PROVIDED
that if such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee in writing (i) that
such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, does not
relate to whether the affected Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date, was
a Qualified Mortgage, (ii) that such Material Document Defect or Material
Breach, as the case may be, is capable of being cured but not within the
applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iii) that such Mortgage Loan Seller has
commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document
Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, during the applicable Initial
Resolution Period, (iv) what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in
connection with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as
the case may be, and (v) that such Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such
Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, will be cured
within an additional 90-day period (such additional 90-day period, the
"RESOLUTION EXTENSION PERIOD") (a copy of which certification shall be delivered
by the Trustee to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Controlling
Class Representative), then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional
period equal to such Resolution Extension Period to complete such correction or
cure (or, upon failure to complete such correction or cure, to repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan); and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the
-80-
delivery of the foregoing certification in connection with, and/or any attempt
by a Mortgage Loan Seller to cure, any alleged Breach or Document Defect shall
not be deemed an admission on the part of such Mortgage Loan Seller that such
alleged Breach or Document Defect is, in fact, a Breach or Document Defect, as
the case may be, or more particularly, that it is a Material Breach or Material
Document Defect, as the case may be.
The remedies provided for in this SECTION 2.03(B) with respect
to any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage
Loan shall apply to the related REO Property.
If one or more (but not all) of the Mortgage Loans
constituting a Cross-Collateralized Group are to be repurchased by a Mortgage
Loan Seller, as contemplated by this SECTION 2.03, then, prior to the subject
repurchase, the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, subject to the
terms of the affected Mortgage Loans, to prepare and, to the extent necessary
and appropriate, have executed by the related Borrower and record, such
documentation as may be necessary to terminate the cross-collateralization
between the Mortgage Loans in such Cross-Collateralized Group that are to be
repurchased, on the one hand, and the remaining Mortgage Loans therein, on the
other hand, such that those two groups of Mortgage Loans are each secured only
by the Mortgaged Properties identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as directly
corresponding thereto; PROVIDED that no such termination shall be effected
unless the Mortgage Loans from such Cross-Collateralized Group that are to
remain part of the Trust Fund have a loan-to-value ratio of no more than 75% and
a debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.25x; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that
no such termination shall be effected unless and until the Master Servicer and
the Trustee have received from the related Mortgage Loan Seller (i) an Opinion
of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies
from Independent counsel to the effect that such termination will not cause an
Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse
Grantor Trust Event with respect to either Grantor Trust Pool and (ii) written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such termination will not cause an
Adverse Rating Event to occur with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates;
and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the related Mortgage Loan Seller may, at its option,
repurchase the entire Cross-Collateralized Group without termination of the
cross-collateralization. To the extent necessary and appropriate, the Trustee
shall execute (or, subject to SECTION 3.10, provide the Master Servicer with a
limited power of attorney that enables the Master Servicer to execute) the loan
documentation referred to in the prior sentence; PROVIDED that the Trustee shall
not be liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer shall advance all costs and expenses incurred by
the Trustee and the Master Servicer with respect to any Cross-Collateralized
Group pursuant to this paragraph, and such advances shall (i) constitute and be
reimbursable as Servicing Advances and (ii) be included in the calculation of
Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan(s) to be repurchased. Neither the Master
Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable to any Certificateholder or
any other party hereto if the cross-collateralization of any
Cross-Collateralized Group is not or cannot be terminated as contemplated by
this paragraph for any reason beyond the control of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be.
If the cross-collateralization of any Cross-Collateralized
Group of Mortgage Loans is not or cannot be terminated as contemplated by the
preceding paragraph for any reason (including the failure of the related
Mortgage Loan Seller to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in the provisos
to the first sentence of the preceding paragraph), then, for purposes of this
SECTION 2.03 and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including for
purposes of (i) determining whether the particular Breach or Document Defect
that gave rise to the repurchase obligation for such Cross-Collateralized
-81-
Group is a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, and
(ii) the application of remedies, such Cross-Collateralized Group shall be
treated as a single Mortgage Loan.
In the event that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or
the Trustee is notified or otherwise has actual knowledge that [the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller] has an obligation to repurchase the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] PARI PASSU Companion Loan from the [Other CMBS Series] Trust by
reason of a "Material Document Defect" or a "Material Breach" (as such terms are
defined in the [Other CMBS Series PSA]), then such party shall promptly notify
the other such parties, and the Master Servicer shall, as and to the extent
contemplated by the [applicable] Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, direct [the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller] to repurchase the [Separately Serviced Mortgage
Loan] at the Purchase Price contemporaneously with any repurchase of the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] PARI PASSU Companion Loan.
In the event that the Master Servicer receives notice from the
Borrower under any Early Defeasance Mortgage Loan that such Borrower intends to,
and the related Mortgage Loan Documents permit such Borrower to, defease such
Mortgage Loan on or before the second anniversary of the Startup Day of the
related Loan REMIC, then the Master Servicer shall promptly (and, in any event,
within five Business Days of receiving such notice from such Borrower) notify
CGMRC of such Borrower's intention, and the Master Servicer shall direct CGMRC
to repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price within the time frame
contemplated by the CGMRC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
In connection with any repurchase of the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] or any of the Early Defeasance Mortgage Loans pursuant to or as
contemplated by this SECTION 2.03(B), the Trustee shall effect a "qualified
liquidation" of the related Loan REMIC in accordance with the REMIC Provisions.
The reasonable "out-of-pocket" costs and expenses incurred by
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee pursuant to this
SECTION 2.03(B), including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, shall
constitute Servicing Advances to the extent not collected from the related
Mortgage Loan Seller.
(c) If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased as contemplated
by this SECTION 2.03, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account
as the account to which funds in the amount of the applicable Purchase Price are
to be wired, and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, by
delivery of an Officer's Certificate, when such deposit is made. Any such
repurchase of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released
basis. Upon its receipt of an Officer's Certificate from the Master Servicer to
the effect that the full amount of the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan
repurchased by or on behalf of a Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by this
SECTION 2.03 has been deposited in the Collection Account, the Trustee shall
release or cause the release of the Mortgage File and any Additional Collateral
held by or on behalf of the Trustee for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the party
effecting the repurchase or its designee, and the Trustee or the Master Servicer
on behalf of the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of release,
transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided
to it and are reasonably necessary to vest in the party effecting the repurchase
or its designee the ownership of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, and the Master
Servicer shall notify the applicable Borrower(s) of the transfers of the Deleted
Mortgage Loan(s). In connection with any such repurchase by or on behalf of a
Mortgage Loan Seller, each of the
-82-
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver to the party effecting
the repurchase or its designee any portion of the related Servicing File,
together with any Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds and Additional Collateral, held
by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of
the party effecting the repurchase.
If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased as contemplated by
this SECTION 2.03, the Master Servicer shall direct the related Mortgage Loan
Seller to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of the Deleted
Mortgage Loan and deliver the same to the Trustee. Upon the Trustee's receipt of
such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Trustee shall deliver or cause the
delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the respective parties hereto
and to the Controlling Class Representative.
(d) Except as contemplated by the next two sentences, the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provide the sole remedies available to the
Certificateholders, or the Trustee on their behalf, respecting any Breach or
Document Defect. If, in connection with any Material Document Defect or Material
Breach in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller
defaults on its obligations to cure such Material Document Defect or Material
Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects or to repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this SECTION 2.03, or if, in
connection with any repurchase of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] PARI
PASSU Companion Loan from the [Other CMBS Series] Trust, [the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller] defaults on its obligation to repurchase the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan]or if, in connection with any defeasance of an Early
Defeasance Mortgage Loan prior to the second anniversary of the Startup Day of
the related Loan REMIC, CGMRC defaults on its obligations to repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this SECTION 2.03, then with respect
to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] and any Performing Serviced Mortgage
Loans (except for Early Defeasance Mortgage Loans) the Master Servicer shall
(and the Special Servicer may), and with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans and Early Defeasance Mortgage Loans the Special Servicer shall, promptly
notify the Trustee and the Controlling Class Representative, and the Trustee
shall notify the Certificateholders. Thereafter, with respect to the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] and any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans (except for
Early Defeasance Mortgage Loans) the Master Servicer shall (and the Special
Servicer may), and with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Early
Defeasance Mortgage Loans the Special Servicer shall, take such actions on
behalf of the Trust with respect to the enforcement of such repurchase
obligations (and if the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer) is notified or
otherwise becomes aware of a default on the part of any Mortgage Loan Seller in
respect of its obligations under the second paragraph of Section 2(c) of the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then with respect to the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] and any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans (except for
Early Defeasance Mortgage Loans) the Master Servicer shall (and the Special
Servicer may), and with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Early
Defeasance Mortgage Loans the Special Servicer shall, also take such actions on
behalf of the Trust with respect to the enforcement of such obligations of such
Mortgage Loan Seller), including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
legal proceedings, as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, shall determine are in the best interests of the Certificateholders
(taken as a collective whole). Any and all reasonable "out-of-pocket" costs and
expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the
Trustee pursuant to this SECTION 2.03(D), including, reasonable attorney's fees
and expenses, to the extent not
-83-
collected from the related Mortgage Loan Seller), shall constitute Servicing
Advances in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan.

other material instrument to which it is a party or by which it is
bound, which default or breach, in the reasonable judgment of the

rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law.
(v) The Depositor is not in violation of, and its
execution and delivery of, performance under and compliance with this
Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or
decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of

this Agreement or the financial condition of the Depositor. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Depositor

SECTION 2.08. Creation of REMIC I; Issuance of the REMIC I
Regular Interests and the REMIC I Residual
Interest; Certain Matters Involving REMIC I and
the Loan REMICs.
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
following segregated pool of assets constitute a REMIC for federal income tax
purposes and, further, that such segregated pool of assets be designated as
"REMIC I": (i) the Mortgage Loans that are from time to time subject to this
Agreement (other than the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] and the Early
Defeasance Mortgage Loans), together with (A) all payments under and proceeds of
the Mortgage Loans (other than the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] and the
Early Defeasance Mortgage Loans) received after the Closing Date (exclusive of
any portion of such payments and/or proceeds that represents scheduled payments
of interest and principal due on or before the Cut-off Date, Post-ARD Additional
Interest collected in respect of the ARD Mortgage Loans after their respective
Anticipated Repayment Dates and/or Excess Servicing Fees), (B) all Principal
Prepayments and corresponding interest payments on the Mortgage Loans (other
than the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] and the Early Defeasance Mortgage
Loans) received after the Cut-off Date through and including the Closing Date,
and (C) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files
and any related Additional Collateral; (ii) any REO Property acquired in respect
of a Mortgage Loan that is not the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or an
Early Defeasance Mortgage Loan; (iii) the Loan REMIC Regular Interests and all
payments under and proceeds of such Loan REMIC Regular Interests received after
the Closing Date; (iv) such funds and assets as from time to time are deposited
in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve
Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and the REO Account (if
established) (exclusive of any amounts that constitute Post-ARD Additional
Interest collected in respect of the ARD Mortgage Loans after their respective
Anticipated Repayment Dates and exclusive of Excess Servicing Fees); and (v) the
rights of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Closing
Date is hereby designated as the "STARTUP DAY" of REMIC I, within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
A Loan REMIC Declaration has been made with respect to the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] and each of the Early Defeasance Mortgage
Loans. In the case of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] and each Early
Defeasance Mortgage Loan, the related Loan REMIC will include such Mortgage Loan
and any REO Property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loan (or, in the case
of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan], the Trust's interest in any
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Property); PROVIDED that, if applicable,
such Loan REMIC shall exclude any collections of Post-ARD Additional Interest.
The "STARTUP DAY" for each Loan REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9)
of the Code, is designated in the related Loan REMIC Declaration.
(b) Concurrently with the assignment of the Mortgage Loans
(or, in the case of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] and the Early
Defeasance Mortgage Loans, the related Loan REMIC Regular Interests) and certain
related assets to the Trustee pursuant to SECTION 2.01(B) and in exchange
therefor, the REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall
be issued. A separate REMIC I Regular Interest shall be issued with respect to
each Mortgage Loan and Loan REMIC Regular Interest that is an asset of REMIC I.
For purposes of this Agreement, each REMIC I Regular Interest shall relate to
the Mortgage Loan with respect to which it was issued (or, if applicable,
-91-
to the Loan REMIC Regular Interest in respect of which it was issued and also to
the corresponding Mortgage Loan) and to any successor REO Loan deemed
outstanding with respect to any REO Property acquired in respect of any such
Mortgage Loan. Neither the REMIC I Residual Interest nor any of the REMIC I
Regular Interests shall be certificated. The REMIC I Regular Interests and the
REMIC I Residual Interest shall collectively constitute the entire beneficial
ownership of REMIC I.
(c) The REMIC I Regular Interests shall constitute the
"regular interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and
the REMIC I Residual Interest shall constitute the sole "residual interest"
(within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC I. Each Loan
REMIC Regular Interest shall constitute the "regular interest" (within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and each Loan REMIC Residual
Interest shall constitute the sole "residual interest" (within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in the related Loan REMIC. None of the parties
hereto, to the extent it is within the control thereof, shall create or permit
the creation of any other "interests" in REMIC I or any Loan REMIC (within the
meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.860D-1(b)(1)).
(d) The designation for each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be
the identification number for the related Mortgage Loan set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(e) Each REMIC I Regular Interest shall have an Uncertificated
Principal Balance. As of the Closing Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance
of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall equal the Cut-off Date Principal Balance
of the related Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule). On
each Distribution Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I
Regular Interest shall be permanently reduced by any distributions of principal
deemed made with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest on such Distribution
Date pursuant to SECTION 4.01(L) and, further, by any Unfunded Principal Balance
Reduction made with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest on such
Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION 4.04(C). Except as provided in the
preceding sentence, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular
Interest shall not otherwise be increased or reduced. Deemed distributions to
REMIC II in reimbursement of Unfunded Principal Balance Reductions with respect
to a REMIC I Regular Interest shall not constitute deemed distributions of
principal and shall not result in any reduction of the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest.
(f) Each REMIC I Regular Interest shall have a REMIC I
Remittance Rate. The REMIC I Remittance Rate with respect to any particular
REMIC I Regular Interest for any Interest Accrual Period shall be calculated as
follows:
(i) if, as of the Closing Date, the related Mortgage
Loan bears or bore, as the case may be, interest calculated on a 30/360
Basis, then the REMIC I Remittance Rate with respect to the subject
REMIC I Regular Interest for any Interest Accrual Period shall equal
the Net Mortgage Rate in effect for the related Mortgage Loan as of the
Closing Date; and
(ii) if, as of the Closing Date, the related Mortgage
Loan bears or bore, as the case may be, interest calculated on an
Actual/360 Basis, then the REMIC I Remittance Rate with respect to the
subject REMIC I Regular Interest for any Interest Accrual Period shall
(subject to adjustment as provided below) equal the product of (A) a
fraction (expressed as a percentage), the numerator of which is the
number of days in such Interest Accrual Period, and the
-92-
denominator of which is 30, multiplied by (B) the Net Mortgage Rate in
effect for the related Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date; PROVIDED
that, in the case of a REMIC I Regular Interest that corresponds to an
Interest Reserve Loan, if the subject Interest Accrual Period occurs
during January ____ or during January of any year thereafter or during
December ____ or during December of any year thereafter that does not
immediately precede a leap year, the REMIC I Remittance Rate with
respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual
Period shall equal (M) the REMIC I Remittance Rate with respect to such
REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period, as
calculated without regard to this proviso, MINUS (N) a fraction
(expressed as a percentage), the numerator of which is equal to 12
times the related Interest Reserve Amount that is to be transferred
from the Distribution Account to the Interest Reserve Account with
respect to such Interest Reserve Loan in the following calendar month
in accordance with SECTION 3.04(C), and the denominator of which is
equal to the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular
Interest outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution
Date; and, PROVIDED, FURTHER, that, in the case of a REMIC I Regular
Interest that corresponds to an Interest Reserve Loan, if the subject
Interest Accrual Period occurs during February ____ or during February
of any year thereafter, the REMIC I Remittance Rate with respect to
such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period shall
equal (S) the REMIC I Remittance Rate with respect to such REMIC I
Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period, as calculated
without regard to this proviso, PLUS (T) a fraction (expressed as a
percentage), the numerator of which is equal to 12 times any related
Interest Reserve Amount(s) to be transferred from the Interest Reserve
Account to the Distribution Account with respect to such Interest
Reserve Loan pursuant to SECTION 3.05(C) for distribution on the
related Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is equal to the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest
outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution Date.
(g) Each REMIC I Regular Interest shall bear interest, and
such interest shall commence accruing on __________, ____. In the case of each
REMIC I Regular Interest, such interest shall be calculated on a 30/360 Basis
and, during each Interest Accrual Period, shall accrue at the REMIC I Remittance
Rate with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual
Period on the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest
outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution Date. The total amount
of such interest accrued with respect to each REMIC I Regular Interest during
each Interest Accrual Period (herein referred to as the "INTEREST ACCRUAL
AMOUNT" with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual
Period) shall equal 1/12 of the product of (i) the REMIC I Remittance Rate with
respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period,
multiplied by (ii) the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular
Interest outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution Date. The
portion of the Interest Accrual Amount with respect to any REMIC I Regular
Interest for any Interest Accrual Period that shall be distributable to REMIC
II, as the holder of such REMIC I Regular Interest, on the related Distribution
Date pursuant to SECTION 4.01(L), shall be an amount (herein referred to as the
"CURRENT INTEREST DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT" with respect to such REMIC I Regular
Interest for the related Distribution Date) equal to (i) the Interest Accrual
Amount with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for the related Interest
Accrual Period, reduced (to not less than zero) by (ii) the portion of any Net
Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date that is
allocable to such REMIC I Regular Interest. For purposes of the foregoing, the
Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date
shall, to the extent attributable to any particular Mortgage Loan, be allocated
to the related REMIC I Regular Interest. If the entire Current Interest
Distribution
-93-
Amount with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest for any Distribution Date is
not deemed distributed to REMIC II, as the holder of such REMIC I Regular
Interest, on such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION 4.01(L), then the unpaid
portion of such Current Interest Distribution Amount shall be added to, and be
payable as part of, the Carryforward Interest Distribution Amount with respect
to such REMIC I Regular Interest for future Distribution Dates. The
"CARRYFORWARD INTEREST DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT" with respect to any REMIC I Regular
Interest for any Distribution Date is the excess, if any, of (i) all Current
Interest Distribution Amounts with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for
all prior Distribution Dates, if any, over (ii) the total amount of interest
deemed distributed to REMIC II with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest on
all such prior Distribution Dates, if any, pursuant to SECTION 4.01(L).
(h) Solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation
section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the Latest Possible Maturity Date for each REMIC I
Regular Interest shall be the Rated Final Distribution Date, and the Latest
Possible Maturity Date for each Loan REMIC Regular Interest shall be the Stated
Maturity Date for the related Mortgage Loan.
(i) Neither the REMIC I Residual Interest nor any Loan REMIC
Residual Interest shall have a principal balance or bear interest.
SECTION 2.09. Conveyance of REMIC I Regular Interests;
Acceptance of REMIC I Regular Interests by Trustee.
The Depositor, as of the Closing Date, and concurrently with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby assign without
recourse all of its right, title and interest in and to the REMIC I Regular

will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and
future Holders of the REMIC III Regular Interest Certificates and the Class R
Certificates.
SECTION 2.10. Creation of REMIC II; Issuance of the REMIC II
Regular Interests and the REMIC II Residual
Interest; Certain Matters Involving REMIC II.
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests constitute
a REMIC for federal income tax purposes and, further, that such segregated pool
of assets be designated as "REMIC II". The Closing Date is hereby designated as
the "STARTUP DAY" of REMIC II within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the
Code.
(b) Concurrently with the assignment of the REMIC I Regular
Interests to the Trustee pursuant to SECTION 2.09 and in exchange therefor, the
REMIC II Regular Interests and the REMIC II Residual Interest shall be issued.
There shall be 19 separate REMIC II Regular Interests. Neither the REMIC II
Residual Interest nor any of the REMIC II Regular Interests shall be
certificated. The REMIC II Regular Interests and the REMIC II Residual Interest
shall collectively constitute the entire beneficial ownership of REMIC II.
-94-
(c) The REMIC II Regular Interests shall constitute the
"regular interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and
the REMIC II Residual Interest shall constitute the sole "residual interest"
(within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC II. None of the
parties hereto, to the extent it is within the control thereof, shall create or
permit the creation of any other "interests" in REMIC II (within the meaning of
Treasury regulation section 1.860D-1(b)(1)).
(d) The REMIC II Regular Interests shall have the following
alphabetic or alphanumeric designations: "▇-▇", "▇-▇▇", "▇-▇▇", "▇-▇", "▇", "C",
"D", "E", "F", "H", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "P", "Q", "S" and "T",

On each Distribution Date, the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest shall be permanently reduced by any
distributions of principal deemed made with respect to such REMIC II Regular
Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION 4.01(K) and, further, by
any Unfunded Principal Balance Reduction made with respect to such REMIC II
Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION 4.04(B). Except
as provided in the preceding sentence, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of
each REMIC II Regular Interest shall not otherwise be increased or decreased.
Deemed distributions to REMIC III in reimbursement of Unfunded Principal Balance
Reductions with respect to a REMIC II Regular Interest, shall not constitute
deemed
-95-
distributions of principal and shall not result in any reduction of the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC II Regular Interest.
(f) Each REMIC II Regular Interest shall have a REMIC II
Remittance Rate that, with respect to any Interest Accrual Period, shall equal
the weighted average, expressed as a percentage and rounded to eight decimal
places, of the respective REMIC I Remittance Rates in effect for all the REMIC I
Regular Interests for such Interest Accrual Period, weighted on the basis of the
respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interests
outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution Date.
(g) Each REMIC II Regular Interest shall bear interest, and
such interest shall commence accruing on __________, ____. In the case of each
REMIC II Regular Interest, such interest shall be calculated on a 30/360 Basis

Remittance Rate with respect to such REMIC II Regular Interest for such Interest
Accrual Period on the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC II Regular
Interest outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution Date. The
total amount of such interest accrued with respect to each REMIC II Regular
Interest during each Interest Accrual Period (herein referred to as the
"INTEREST ACCRUAL AMOUNT" with respect to such REMIC II Regular Interest for
such Interest Accrual Period) shall equal 1/12 of the product of (i) the REMIC
II Remittance Rate with respect to such REMIC II Regular Interest for such
Interest Accrual Period, multiplied by (ii) the Uncertificated Principal Balance
of such REMIC II Regular Interest outstanding immediately prior to the related
Distribution Date. The portion of the Interest Accrual Amount with respect to
any REMIC II Regular Interest for any Interest Accrual Period that shall be
distributable to REMIC III, as the holder of such REMIC II Regular Interest, on
the related Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION 4.01(K), shall be an amount

for the related Interest Accrual Period, reduced (to not less than zero) by (ii)
the portion of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such
Distribution Date that is allocable to such REMIC II Regular Interest. For
purposes of the foregoing, the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if
any, for each Distribution Date shall be allocated among all the REMIC II
Regular Interests on a PRO RATA basis in accordance with their respective
Interest Accrual Amounts for the related Interest Accrual Period. If the entire
Current Interest Distribution Amount with respect to any REMIC II Regular
Interest for any Distribution Date is not deemed distributed to REMIC III, as
the holder of such REMIC II Regular Interest, on such Distribution Date pursuant
to SECTION 4.01(K), then the unpaid portion of such Current Interest
Distribution Amount shall be added to, and be payable as part of, the
Carryforward Interest Distribution Amount with respect to such REMIC II Regular
Interest for future Distribution Dates. The "CARRYFORWARD INTEREST DISTRIBUTION
AMOUNT" with respect to any REMIC II Regular Interest for any Distribution Date
is the excess, if any, of (i) all Current Interest Distribution Amounts with
respect to such REMIC II Regular Interest for all prior Distribution Dates, if
any, over (ii) the total amount of interest deemed distributed to REMIC III with
respect to such REMIC II Regular Interest on all such prior Distribution Dates,
if any, pursuant to SECTION 4.01(K).

a percentage and rounded to ten decimal places, of the respective Adjusted REMIC
II Remittance Rates in effect during such Interest Accrual Period in respect of

respect to each Class of REMIC III Regular Interest Certificates during each
Interest Accrual Period (herein referred to as the "INTEREST ACCRUAL AMOUNT"
with respect to such Class of Certificates for such Interest Accrual Period)
shall equal 1/12 of the product of (i) the Pass-Through Rate with respect to
such Class of Certificates for such Interest Accrual Period, multiplied by (ii)
the Class Principal Balance (or, in the case of a Class of Interest Only
Certificates, the Class Notional Amount) of such Class of Certificates
outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution Date. The portion of
the Interest Accrual Amount with respect to the Class X-2 Certificates for any
Interest Accrual Period that is attributable to any particular Group X-2 REMIC
III Regular Interest shall be an amount (herein referred to as the "INTEREST
ACCRUAL AMOUNT" with respect to such Group X-2 REMIC III Regular Interest for
such Interest Accrual Period) equal to 1/12 of the product of (i) the REMIC III
Remittance Rate with respect to such Group X-2 REMIC III Regular Interest for

for the related Interest Accrual Period, reduced (to not less than zero) by (ii)
the portion of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such
Distribution Date that is allocable to such Class of Certificates. For purposes
of the foregoing, the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for
each Distribution Date shall be allocated among all the Classes of REMIC III
Regular Interest Certificates on a PRO RATA basis in accordance with their
respective Interest Accrual Amounts for the related Interest Accrual Period. The
portion of the Current Interest Distribution Amount with respect to the Class of
X-2 Certificates for any Distribution Date that is attributable to any
particular Group X-2 REMIC III Regular Interest shall be an amount (herein

Group X-2 REMIC III Regular Interest for such Distribution Date) equal to (i)
the Interest Accrual Amount with respect to such Group X-2 REMIC III Regular
Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period, reduced (to not less than
zero) by (ii) such Group X-2 REMIC III Regular Interest's share of the portion
of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date
that is allocable to the Class X-2 Certificates. For purposes of the foregoing,
any portion of the Net Aggregate
-101-
Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date that is allocated to the
Class X-2 Certificates shall in turn be allocated among the Group X-2 REMIC III
Regular Interests on a PRO RATA basis in accordance with their respective
Interest Accrual Amounts for the related Interest Accrual Period.
If the entire Current Interest Distribution Amount with
respect to any Class of REMIC III Regular Interest Certificates for any
Distribution Date is not distributed to the Holders thereof on such Distribution
Date pursuant to SECTION 4.01(a) or SECTION 4.01(B), as applicable, then the
unpaid portion of such Current Interest Distribution Amount shall be added to,
and be payable as part of, the Carryforward Interest Distribution Amount with
respect to such Class of Certificates for future Distribution Dates. The
"CARRYFORWARD INTEREST DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT" with respect to any Class of REMIC
III Regular Interest Certificates for any Distribution Date is the excess, if
any, of (i) all Current Interest Distribution Amounts with respect to such Class
of Certificates for all prior Distribution Dates, if any, over (ii) the total
amount of interest distributed to the Holders of such Class of Certificates on
all such prior Distribution Dates, if any, pursuant to SECTION 4.01(A) or
SECTION 4.01(B), as applicable. The portion of the Carryforward Interest
Distribution Amount with respect to the Class X-2 Certificates for any
Distribution Date that is attributable to any particular Group X-2 REMIC III
Regular Interest shall be an amount (herein referred to as the "CARRYFORWARD
INTEREST DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT" with respect to such Group X-2 REMIC III Regular
Interest for such Distribution Date) equal the excess, if any, of (i) all
Current Interest Distribution Amounts with respect to such Group X-2 REMIC III
Regular Interest for all prior Distribution Dates, if any, over (ii) the total
amount of interest deemed distributed to the Holders of such Class of
Certificates with respect to such Group X-2 REMIC III Regular Interest on all
prior Distribution Dates, if any, pursuant to SECTION 4.01(A).
(h) Solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation
section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the Latest Possible Maturity Date for each Class of
REMIC III Regular Interest Certificates (or, in the case of the Class X-2
Certificates, for each Group X-2 REMIC III Regular Interest) shall be the Rated
Final Distribution Date.
(i) The REMIC III Residual Interest shall not have a principal
balance and shall not bear interest.
SECTION 2.13. Acceptance of Grantor Trusts and Group Terrorism
Insurance Policy by Trustee; Issuance of the
Class Y and Class R Certificates.
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
segregated pool of assets consisting of any collections of Post-ARD Additional
Interest received on the ARD Mortgage Loans constitute a Grantor Trust for
federal income tax purposes and, further, that such segregated pool of assets be
designated as "GRANTOR TRUST Y". The Trustee, by its execution and delivery
hereof, acknowledges the assignment to it of the assets of Grantor Trust Y and
declares that it will hold such assets in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future Holders of the Class Y Certificates.
Concurrently with the assignment to it of the assets included in Grantor Trust
Y, the Trustee shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate

authorized denominations evidencing the entire beneficial ownership of Grantor
Trust Y. The rights of the Holders of the Class Y Certificates to receive
distributions from the proceeds of

Grantor Trust Y, and all ownership interests of such Holders in and to such
distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.
(b) The Depositor, as of the Closing Date, and concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby assign without
recourse, all right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the REMIC I
Residual Interest, the REMIC II Residual Interest, the REMIC III Residual
Interest and the Loan REMIC Residual Interests to the Trustee for the benefit of
the Holders of the Class R Certificates. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that the segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Residual
Interest, the REMIC II Residual Interest, the REMIC III Residual Interest and
the Loan REMIC Residual Interests constitute a Grantor Trust for federal income
tax purposes and, further, that such segregated pool of assets be designated as
"GRANTOR TRUST R". The Trustee, by its execution and delivery hereof,
acknowledges the assignment to it of the assets of Grantor Trust R and declares
that it will hold such assets in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Holders of the Class R Certificates. Concurrently with the
assignment to it of the assets included in Grantor Trust R, the Trustee shall
execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, to or
upon the order of the Depositor, the Class R Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the entire beneficial ownership of Grantor Trust R. The
rights of the Holders of the Class R Certificates to receive distributions from
the proceeds of Grantor Trust R, and all ownership interests of such Holders in
and to such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.
(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Group
Terrorism Insurance Policy and any amounts paid thereunder shall collectively
constitute an "outside reserve fund" within the meaning of Treasury regulation
section 1.860G-2(h), designated as the "GROUP TERRORISM INSURANCE POLICY RESERVE
FUND". The Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges the
assignment to it of the assets of the Group Terrorism Insurance Policy Reserve
Fund and declares that it holds and will hold such assets, through the Special
Servicer, in accordance with SECTION 3.07(E), in trust and for the benefit of
Certificateholders and the Depositor, as their interests may appear.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless there is a change in
applicable law occurring after the date hereof, for all income and franchise tax
purposes, the Depositor shall be treated and reported as the sole beneficial
owner of the Group Terrorism Insurance Policy Reserve Fund.

hereunder, including for purposes of drawing on any letter of credit; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such
power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.
(c) The parties hereto acknowledge that, pursuant to the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Intercreditor Agreements: (i) until the
occurrence of a [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Change of Servicing Control
Event, the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Loan Group is to be serviced and
administered by the [Other CMBS Series] Master Servicer and the [Other CMBS
Series] Special Servicer in accordance with the [Other CMBS Series PSA]
(PROVIDED that the Master Servicer is responsible for performing such services
with respect to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] as are specifically set
forth in ARTICLES I through XI of this Agreement); and (ii) upon the occurrence
of a [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Change of Servicing Control Event, the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Loan Group will be serviced and administered
by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer in accordance with ARTICLE XII of
this Agreement; PROVIDED that, if the [Other CMBS Series PSA] is ever to be
replaced by any other [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement,
then prior to exercising any consent right that the Trustee may have with
respect to that successor [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall obtain written confirmation from each Rating Agency
that such successor [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement will
not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated
Certificates.
For so long as (i) the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or
any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan are part of the Mortgage Pool
and (ii) the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Loan Group and/or any
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Property are being serviced and
administered under any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement,
the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to monitor the performance and,
to the extent that it has standing to do so, enforce the obligations of the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer and the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] Special Servicer, respectively, under such [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including the legal
prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in
such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master
Servicer, in its reasonable judgment, would require were it the owner of the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by the Master Servicer in connection with such enforcement shall be paid by, and
reimbursable as, Servicing Advances.
(d) The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer to the Trustee and, unless they are the same Person, each other
under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent
contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or, except as specifically

SECTION 3.02. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
(a) The Master Servicer (in the case of Performing Serviced
Mortgage Loans) and the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans) shall each undertake reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and, in
connection therewith, shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent
with applicable law, the express terms of this Agreement and the related
Mortgage Loan Documents and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, the
Servicing Standard; PROVIDED that the Master Servicer shall not, with respect to
any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is an ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated
Repayment Date, take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of
Post-ARD Additional Interest (other than the making of requests for its
collection), and the Special Servicer shall only do so if (i) the taking of an
enforcement action with respect to the payment of other amounts due under such
Mortgage Loan is, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, and
without regard to such Post-ARD Additional Interest, also necessary, appropriate
and consistent with the Servicing Standard or (ii) all other amounts due under
such Mortgage Loan have been paid, the payment of such Post-ARD Additional
Interest has not been forgiven in accordance with SECTION 3.20 and, in the
reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, the Liquidation Proceeds expected
to be recovered in connection with such enforcement action will cover the
anticipated costs of such enforcement action and, if applicable, any associated
Advance Interest. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer (as to
Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Special Servicer (as to Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans) each may waive any Default Charges in connection with
any specific delinquent payment on a Serviced Mortgage Loan; PROVIDED that, to
the extent the Master Servicer, as to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, and
the Special Servicer, as to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, waives any
Default Charges, any outstanding Advance Interest, property inspection costs and
other Additional Trust Fund Expenses with respect to such Mortgage Loan that
would otherwise have been paid out of such Default Charges shall be paid out of
the Additional Master Servicing Compensation payable to the Master Servicer or
Additional Special Servicing Compensation payable to the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, with respect to such Mortgage Loan; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that
if no Additional Master Servicing Compensation or Additional Special Servicing
Compensation, as applicable, is available to offset the outstanding Advance
Interest, property inspection costs and other Additional Trust Fund Expenses
with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would otherwise be offset by the Default
Charges, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
shall not waive such Default Charges unless (i) it is the first such waiver with
respect to the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan under such circumstances
(regardless of whether such first waiver is made by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer), or (ii) in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan,
the Master Servicer has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer which has,
as and to the extent contemplated by SECTION 3.24, obtained the consent of the
Controlling Class Representative, or (iii) in the case of a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer has, as and to the extent contemplated by
SECTION 3.24, obtained the consent of the Controlling Class Representative.
(b) At least 90 days prior to the maturity date of each
Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Balloon Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall send a notice to the related Borrower of such maturity date (with a copy
to be sent to the Special Servicer) and shall request confirmation that the
Balloon Payment will be paid by such maturity date; PROVIDED that if the Master
Servicer has not received such confirmation, the Master Servicer shall send a
second notice at least 60 days prior to such maturity date, and a third notice
at least 30 days prior to such maturity date.
-106-
(c) Promptly following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
send written notice to the [Other CMBS Series] Master Servicer and the [Other
CMBS Series] Trustee stating that, as of the Closing Date, the Trustee is the
holder of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] and directing the [Other CMBS
Series] Master Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to,
and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the
Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other
information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to,
the holder of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] under the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] Intercreditor Agreements and the [Other CMBS Series
PSA]. In the event that the [Other CMBS Series PSA] is replaced by another
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement and a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee is aware of such replacement, then the Trustee shall
promptly send a comparable written notice to the then holder of the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] PARI PASSU Companion Loan and to the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer under such new [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, on the day of
receipt thereof, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received by it
from the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer or any other party
under any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement with respect
to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan], the [Separately Serviced Mortgage
Loan] Mortgaged Property or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO
Property. In the event the Master Servicer fails to so receive any amounts due
to the holder of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] during any calendar
month under the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Intercreditor Agreements and
any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement by 2:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in such calendar month,
the Master Servicer shall (i) notify the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
Master Servicer or other applicable party responsible for making such
remittances, as well as the holder of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
PARI PASSU Companion Loan, that such amounts due with respect to the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] have not been received (specifying the amount of such
deficiency) and (ii) if and to the extent that the amount in question is a
Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment with respect to the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan,
make a P&I Advance with respect to such amounts as required by the terms of this
Agreement in accordance with SECTION 4.03. Further, in accordance with SECTION
4.03, in the event the Master Servicer fails to make such P&I Advance with
respect to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] REO Loan, then the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance.
SECTION 3.03. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
Items; Servicing Accounts; Reserve Accounts.
(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or
more accounts (the "SERVICING ACCOUNTS"), in which all Escrow Payments received
by it with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans shall be deposited and
retained. Subject to any terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents that
specify the nature of the account in which Escrow Payments shall be held, each
Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. As and to the extent consistent
with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan
Documents, the Master Servicer may make withdrawals from the Servicing Accounts
maintained by it, and may apply Escrow Payments held therein with respect to any
Serviced Mortgage Loan (together with interest and other income earned thereon),
only as follows: (i) to effect the payment of real estate taxes, assessments,
insurance premiums (including premiums on any Environmental Insurance Policy),
ground rents (if applicable) and
-107-
comparable items in respect of the related Mortgaged Property; (ii) to reimburse
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or any Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made thereby with respect to
such Mortgage Loan to cover any of the items described in the immediately
preceding CLAUSE (I); (iii) to refund to the related Borrower any sums as may be
determined to be overages; (iv) to pay interest or other income, if required and
as described below, to the related Borrower on balances in the Servicing Account
(or, if and to the extent not payable to the related Borrower to pay such
interest or other income (up to the amount of any Net Investment Earnings in
respect of such Servicing Account for each Collection Period) to the Master
Servicer); (v) after an event of default, to pay the principal of, accrued
interest on and any other amounts payable with respect to such Mortgage Loan; or
(vi) to clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this
Agreement in accordance with SECTION 9.01. The Master Servicer shall pay or
cause to be paid to the related Borrowers interest and other income, if any,
earned on the investment of funds in Servicing Accounts maintained thereby, if
and to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan
Documents. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in a Servicing Account any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such
amount from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Promptly after any Escrow Payments are received by the Special
Servicer from any Borrower, and in any event within one Business Day after any
such receipt, the Special Servicer shall remit such Escrow Payments to the
Master Servicer for deposit in the applicable Servicing Account(s).
(b) The Master Servicer shall as to each Serviced Mortgage
Loan (including each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) (i) maintain accurate
records with respect to the related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of
real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a
lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable
in respect thereof and (ii) use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing
Standard to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items
(including renewal premiums) and effect payment thereof prior to the applicable
penalty or termination date. For purposes of effecting any such payment, the
Master Servicer shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan Documents; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the subject Serviced
Mortgage Loan does not require the related Borrower to escrow for the payment of
real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable)
and similar items, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall, as
to those Serviced Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and
subject to and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, enforce the
requirement of the related Mortgage that the Borrower make payments in respect
of such items at the time they first become due.
(c) In accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Master
Servicer shall, as to all the Serviced Mortgage Loans (including all the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, if any), advance with respect to the related
Mortgaged Properties all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of
effecting the timely payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other
similar items, (ii) ground rents or other rents (if applicable), and (iii)
premiums on Insurance Policies (including Environmental Insurance Policies), in
each instance if and to the extent that Escrow Payments (if any) collected from
the related Borrower are insufficient to pay such item when due, and the related
Borrower has failed to pay such item on a timely basis; PROVIDED that, in the
case of amounts described in the preceding CLAUSE (I), the Master Servicer shall
not make a Servicing Advance of any such amount if the Master Servicer
reasonably anticipates (in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that such
amounts will be paid by the related Borrower on or before the applicable penalty
date, in which case the Master Servicer shall use its
-108-
best efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to confirm whether such
amounts have been paid and shall make a Servicing Advance of such amounts, if
necessary, not later than five Business Days following confirmation by the
Master Servicer that such amounts have not been, or are not reasonably likely to
be, paid by the applicable penalty date. In no event shall the Master Servicer
be required to make any Servicing Advance under this SECTION 3.03(C) to the
extent such Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Borrowers and further as provided in SECTION
3.05(A). No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in
effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and similar items and,
if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of such Mortgaged Properties shall,
for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related
Serviced Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans
so permit; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this provision is in no way intended to
affect amounts actually due and owing from the related Borrower under any such
Mortgage Loan.
(d) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or
more accounts (the "RESERVE ACCOUNTS"), in which all Reserve Funds, if any,
received by it with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans shall be deposited
and retained. Subject to any terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents that
specify the nature of the account in which Reserve Funds shall be held, each
Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account. As and to the extent consistent
with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan
Documents, the Master Servicer may make withdrawals from the Reserve Accounts,
and may apply Reserve Funds held therein with respect to any Serviced Mortgage
Loan (together with interest and other income earned thereon), only as follows:
(i) in the case of Reserve Funds that are intended to cover specific costs and
expenses, to pay for, or to reimburse the related Borrower in connection with,
the costs associated with the related tenant improvements, leasing commissions,
repairs, replacements, capital improvements, environmental testing and
remediation, litigation and/or other special expenses at or with respect to the
related Mortgaged Property for which such Reserve Funds were intended and to
refund the related Borrower any sums as may be determined to be overages; (ii)
in the case of Reserve Funds intended to cover debt service payments, to apply
amounts on deposit therein in respect of principal and interest on such Mortgage
Loan; (iii) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
or any Fiscal Agent, as applicable, for any unreimbursed Advances made thereby
with respect to such Mortgage Loan to cover any of the items described in the
immediately preceding CLAUSES (I) and (II); (iv) to release such Reserve Funds
to the related Borrower if the conditions precedent for such release are
satisfied or, in the case of Earn-Out Reserve Funds, to otherwise apply such
Reserve Funds in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents if the
conditions precedent for such release are not satisfied, including any
requirements set forth in this Agreement; (v) to pay interest or other income,
if required and as described below, to the related Borrower on balances in the
Reserve Account (or, if and to the extent not payable to the related Borrower,
to pay such interest or other income (up to the amount of any Net Investment
Earnings in respect of such Reserve Account for each Collection Period) to the
Master Servicer); (vi) after an event of default, to pay the principal of,
accrued interest on and any other amounts payable with respect to such Mortgage
Loan; or (vii) to clear and terminate the Reserve Account at the termination of
this Agreement in accordance with SECTION 9.01. If the Borrower under any
Serviced Mortgage Loan delivers a Letter of Credit in lieu of Reserve Funds,
then the Master Servicer shall make draws on such Letter of Credit at such times
and for such purposes as it would have made withdrawals from a Reserve Account
and, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and
the related
-109-
Mortgage Loan Documents, in order to convert the amount of such Letter of Credit
into Reserve Funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not
release any Earn-Out Reserve Funds, or return any related Letter of Credit
delivered in lieu of Earn-Out Reserve Funds, to the related Borrower, unless and
until: (i) the Master Servicer has so notified the Special Servicer in writing
and has provided the Special Servicer with any written or electronic information
in the Master Servicer's possession regarding the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan
or the related Mortgaged Property that the Special Servicer may reasonably
request within ten Business Days of receiving such written notice; and (ii)
subject to SECTION 3.24, the Special Servicer has consented to such release of
any such Earn-Out Reserve Funds or return of any related Letter of Credit (such
consent to be given or withheld in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to
be deemed given if the Special Servicer does not object in writing to such
release of any such Earn-Out Reserve Funds or return of any such Letter of
Credit within ten Business Days after receiving such additional information from
the Master Servicer (or, if it did not request additional information, within
ten Business Days after receiving such notice)). The Master Servicer shall pay
or cause to be paid to the relevant Borrowers interest and other income, if any,
earned on the investment of funds in Reserve Accounts maintained thereby, if and
to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan
Documents. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in a Reserve Account any amount
not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount
from such Reserve Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Promptly after any Reserve Funds are received by the Special Servicer from any
Borrower, and in any event within two Business Days of such receipt, the Special
Servicer shall remit such Reserve Funds to the Master Servicer for deposit in
the applicable Reserve Account(s). Any out-of-pocket expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer to enable the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case
may be, to make any draw under any Letter of Credit shall constitute a Servicing
Advance, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall
make reasonable efforts to recover such expenses from the related Borrower to
the extent the Borrower is required to pay such expenses under the terms of the
related Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(e) To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is
required to be established and executed with respect to any Serviced Mortgage
Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master
Servicer shall request from the related Borrower written confirmation thereof
within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of
which such plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent any
other action or remediation relating to environmental matters is required to
have been taken or completed with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant
to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall
request from the related Borrower written confirmation of such action and
remediations within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and
the date as of which such action or remediations are required to have been taken
or completed. To the extent that a Borrower shall fail to promptly respond to
any inquiry described in this SECTION 3.03(E), the Master Servicer shall notify
the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative. The
Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the
Controlling Class Representative if the Master Servicer shall determine that the
Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan has failed to perform its obligations
under the related Mortgage Loan Documents in respect of environmental matters.
-110-
(f) Subject to applicable law and the terms of the related
Mortgage Loan Documents, funds in the Servicing Accounts and the Reserve
Accounts may be invested only in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions of SECTION 3.06.
SECTION 3.04. Collection Account, Distribution Account,
Interest Reserve Account and Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received by it in connection with the Mortgage Pool separate and
apart from its own funds and general assets. In connection therewith, the Master
Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts
(collectively, the "COLLECTION ACCOUNT"), in which the funds described below are
to be deposited and held on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the Collection Account
shall be an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited in the Collection Account, within one Business Day of receipt by it
(in the case of payments by Borrowers or other collections on the Serviced
Mortgage Loans) or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and
collections received or made by or on behalf of the Master Servicer in respect
of the Mortgage Pool subsequent to the Closing Date (other than in respect of
scheduled payments of principal and interest due and payable on the Mortgage
Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, which payments shall be delivered promptly
to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, with negotiable instruments
endorsed as necessary and appropriate without recourse):
(i) all payments, from whatever source, or transfers
from a debt service reserve account, on account of principal of the
Serviced Mortgage Loans, including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments, from whatever source, or transfers
from a debt service reserve account, on account of interest on the
Serviced Mortgage Loans, including Default Interest and Post-ARD
Additional Interest;
(iii) all Prepayment Premiums and late payment
charges received in respect of the Serviced Mortgage Loans;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds
and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of the Serviced Mortgage
Loans and all Liquidation Proceeds of the type described in CLAUSES
(IV) through (VI) and CLAUSE (VIII) of the definition of "Liquidation
Proceeds" received in respect of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage
Loan];
(v) all remittances to the Trust under a [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement with respect to the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] REO Property;
(vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the
Master Servicer pursuant to SECTION 3.06 in connection with losses
incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the
Collection Account;
(vii) any amounts required to be deposited by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to SECTION 3.07(B) in
connection with losses resulting from a
-111-
deductible clause in a blanket or master forced place hazard policy
with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans;
(viii) any amounts required to be transferred to the
Collection Account from (A) any REO Account pursuant to SECTION 3.16(C)
or (B) any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Custodial Account
pursuant to SECTION 12.04(B); and
(ix) insofar as they do not constitute Escrow
Payments, any amounts paid by the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage
Loan specifically to cover items for which a Servicing Advance has been
made.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection
Account shall be exclusive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) actual payments from Borrowers under the Serviced Mortgage Loans in the
nature of Escrow Payments, assumption fees, assumption application fees,
earn-out fees, extension fees, modification fees, charges for beneficiary
statements or demands, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient
funds and other fees and amounts collected from Borrowers under the Serviced
Mortgage Loans that constitute Additional Master Servicing Compensation and/or
Additional Special Servicing Compensation need not be deposited by the Master
Servicer in the Collection Account, and (B) any amount representing a
sub-servicing fee that otherwise would be required to be deposited by the Master
Servicer in the Collection Account and that, once so deposited, would have been
permitted to be withdrawn immediately from the Collection Account, pursuant to
SECTION 3.05 as part of the payment of the Master Servicing Fee, shall be deemed
to have been deposited to and withdrawn from the Collection Account for such
purpose to the extent that such sum has been retained by the Sub-Servicer
pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
promptly within one Business Day deliver to the Special Servicer any of the
foregoing items received by it with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, if
and to the extent that such items constitute Additional Special Servicing
Compensation. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such
amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in CLAUSES (I)
through (V), (VII) and (IX) of the first paragraph of this SECTION 3.04(A) with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no
event later than one Business Day after receipt, remit such amounts to the
Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account (together with
sufficient information to properly allocate such amount to the appropriate
Mortgage Loan), unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a
restrictive endorsement. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the
order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to
the order of the Master Servicer (in its capacity as such), without recourse,
representation or warranty, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent
with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and
delivered because of a restrictive endorsement. Any such amounts received by the
Special Servicer with respect to any Administered REO Property shall be
deposited by the Special Servicer into the REO Account and remitted to the
Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account (together with
sufficient information to properly allocate such amount to the appropriate REO
Property).
(b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more
segregated accounts (collectively, the "DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT"), to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
-112-
Each account that constitutes the Distribution Account shall be an Eligible
Account. The Trustee shall, as a bookkeeping matter, establish and maintain two
sub-accounts of the Distribution Account (i) one of which sub-accounts (such
sub-account, the "REMIC SUB-ACCOUNT") shall be deemed to be held in trust for
the benefit of the Holders of the REMIC III Regular Interest Certificates and
the Class R Certificates and (ii) one of which sub-accounts (such sub-account,
the "CLASS Y SUB-ACCOUNT") shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit
of the Holders of the Class Y Certificates. By 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, for deposit in the Distribution Account, an aggregate amount of
immediately available funds equal to the Master Servicer Remittance Amount for
such Master Servicer Remittance Date. Immediately upon deposit of the Master
Servicer Remittance Amount for any Master Servicer Remittance Date into the
Distribution Account, any portion thereof that represents any Post-ARD
Additional Interest related to the ARD Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to have
been deposited into the Class Y Sub-Account, and the remaining portion thereof
shall be deemed to have been deposited into the REMIC Sub-Account. In addition,
the Master Servicer shall, as and when required hereunder, deliver to the
Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any P&I Advances and
Compensating Interest Payments required to be made by the Master Servicer
hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Pool. Furthermore, any amounts paid by
any party hereto to indemnify the Trust Fund pursuant to any provision hereof
shall be delivered to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account. The
Trustee shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account any and all
amounts received or, pursuant to SECTION 4.03, advanced by the Trustee or any
Fiscal Agent that are required by the terms of this Agreement to be deposited
therein. As and when required pursuant to SECTION 3.05(C), the Trustee shall
transfer Interest Reserve Amounts in respect of the Interest Reserve Loans from
the Interest Reserve Account to the Distribution Account. Furthermore, as and
when required pursuant to SECTION 3.05(D), the Trustee shall transfer monies
from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to the Distribution Account. The
Trustee shall also deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds any
amounts required to be deposited by the Trustee pursuant to SECTION 3.06 in
connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds
held in the Distribution Account. If the Trustee shall deposit in the
Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (collectively, the "INTEREST RESERVE ACCOUNT") to be held in trust for
the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the
Interest Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account. On the Distribution Date
in January (except during a leap year) and February of each calendar year,
commencing in ____, prior to any distributions being made in respect of the
Certificates on such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, with respect to each
Interest Reserve Loan, withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit in the
Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Interest Reserve Amount, if any,
in respect of such Interest Reserve Loan for such Distribution Date; PROVIDED
that no such transfer of monies from the Distribution Account to the Interest
Reserve Account shall be made on the Final Distribution Date. The Trustee shall
also deposit in the Interest Reserve Account from its own funds any amounts
required to be deposited by the Trustee pursuant to SECTION 3.06 in connection
with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the
Interest Reserve Account.
(d) Upon or prior to the receipt of any Excess Liquidation
Proceeds in connection with the liquidation of any defaulted Serviced Mortgage
Loan or Administered REO Property, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one
or more accounts (collectively, the "EXCESS LIQUIDATION
-113-
PROCEEDS ACCOUNT") to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account shall be an Eligible Account. On each Master Servicer
Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account
and shall deposit, or shall deliver to the Trustee to deposit, into the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account all Excess Liquidation Proceeds received during the
Collection Period ending on the Determination Date immediately prior to such
Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee shall also deposit in the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account from its own funds any amounts required to be
deposited by the Trustee pursuant to SECTION 3.06 in connection with losses
incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account.
(e) Funds in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account,
the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account may be
invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of SECTION
3.06. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the other parties hereto of the
location of the Collection Account as of the Closing Date and of the new
location of the Collection Account prior to any change thereof. The Distribution
Account, Interest Reserve Account and Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account shall
initially be held at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Trustee
shall give notice to the other parties hereto of the new location of each of the
Distribution Account, Interest Reserve Account and Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Account prior to any change thereof.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision to
the contrary in this Agreement, the Trustee may maintain the Distribution
Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Account as three separate subaccounts of a single Eligible Account; PROVIDED
that: (i) all deposits into and withdrawals from such single Eligible Account
shall be made in the same manner as would be the case if the Distribution
Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Account were maintained as three separate accounts; (ii) all distributions on
the Certificates will be calculated and made in the same manner as would be the
case if the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account were maintained as three separate accounts; (iii)
the Trustee shall make debits and credits to those three subaccounts in a manner
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement governing transfers of funds
between the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account, as the case may be; (iv) the Trustee's maintaining
the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account as three separate subaccounts of a single Eligible
Account (as opposed to in the form of three separate Eligible Accounts) shall
not materially and adversely affect any of the Certificateholders; and (v) such
single Eligible Account shall be entitled "__________. [or name of any successor
trustee], as trustee, in trust for the registered holders of Citigroup Mortgage
Loan Trust Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
__________, Distribution Account, Interest Reserve Account and Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account".

Servicer's, as the case may be, respective rights to reimbursement
pursuant to this CLAUSE (II) with respect to any such P&I Advance being

interest and principal received in respect of the particular Mortgage
Loan or REO Loan as to which such P&I Advance was made (net of related
Master Servicing Fees);
(iii) to pay to itself earned and unpaid Master
Servicing Fees with respect to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan to but
not including the latest Due Date for such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan,

this CLAUSE (III) with respect to any particular Mortgage Loan or
successor REO Loan being limited, however, to amounts received on or in
respect of such Mortgage Loan (whether in the form of payments,
Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds) or
successor REO Loan (whether in the form of REO Revenues, Insurance
Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds) that are
allocable as interest thereon;
(iv) to pay to the Special Servicer, out of such
general collections on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties as are
then on deposit in the Collection Account, earned and unpaid Special

(vi) to reimburse any Fiscal Agent, the Trustee,

Fiscal Agent's, the Trustee's, the Master Servicer's and the Special
Servicer's, as the case may be, respective rights to reimbursement
pursuant to this CLAUSE (VI) with respect to any such Servicing Advance
being limited, however, to (A) payments made by the related Borrower
that are
-115-
allocable to cover the item in respect of which such Servicing Advance
was made, and (B) Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds and, if applicable, REO Revenues received in
respect of the particular Mortgage Loan or REO Property as to which
such Servicing Advance was made;
(vii) to reimburse any Fiscal Agent, the Trustee,

been determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances;
(viii) to pay itself, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee or any Fiscal Agent, as applicable, any unpaid Advance Interest

(VI) or (VII) above or pursuant to SECTION 3.03(C) or SECTION 3.03(D)),
and insofar as payment has not already been made out of related Default
Charges, and the related Default Charges then on deposit in the
Collection Account are not sufficient to make such payment, pursuant to
CLAUSE (VIII) above, to pay itself, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
or such Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, first out of the remaining
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds,
if any, from the Mortgage Loan to which the Advance relates, and then
out of such general collections on the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Properties as are then on deposit in the Collection Account, any
related Advance Interest accrued and payable on the portion of such
Advance so reimbursed or being reimbursed;

(xiii) to pay, in accordance with SECTION 3.11(I),
out of such general collections on the Mortgage Loans and any REO

may be, any amount specifically required to be paid to such Person out
of the Collection Account under any provision of this Agreement and to

3.05(A), it being acknowledged that this
-117-
CLAUSE (XIX) shall not be construed to modify any limitation otherwise
set forth in this Agreement on the time at which any Person is entitled
to payment or reimbursement of any amount or the funds from which any
such payment or reimbursement is permitted to be made;
(xx) to pay itself, the Special Servicer, a Mortgage

through (XXI) above, then the corresponding withdrawals from the Collection

rules: (A) if the payment, reimbursement or remittance is to be made from a
specific source of funds, then such payment, reimbursement or remittance shall
be made from that specific source of funds on a PRO RATA basis with any and all
other payments, reimbursements and remittances to be made from such specific

amounts stated therein. The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate
accounting for each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and Administered REO
Property, on a
-118-

City time, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Account and deposit in the Distribution Account, for distribution on such
Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION 4.01, an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
the entire amount, if any, then on deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Account and (ii) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount distributable on
such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTIONS 4.01(A) and 4.01(B), over the
Standard Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date (calculated
without regard to such transfer from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to
the Distribution Account); PROVIDED that on the Final Distribution Date, prior
to 11:00 a.m. New York City time, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account and deposit in the Distribution Account, for
distribution on such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION 4.01, any and all
amounts then on deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account. In addition,
the Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Excess

Reimbursement Rate) and their respective expenses hereunder, but only if and to
the extent such compensation, Advances (with interest) and expenses are to be
reimbursed or paid from such particular funds on deposit in the Collection
Account or the Distribution Account pursuant to the express terms of this
Agreement.
SECTION 3.06. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account,
the Servicing Accounts, the Reserve Accounts and
the REO Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may direct (pursuant to a standing
order or otherwise) any depository institution (including the Trustee)
maintaining the Collection Account or any Servicing Account or Reserve Account
held by it, the Special Servicer may direct (pursuant to a standing order or
otherwise) any depository institution (including the Trustee) maintaining the
REO Account, and the Trustee may direct (pursuant to a standing order or
otherwise) any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, to invest,
or if it is such depository institution, may itself invest, the funds held
therein in (but only in) one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or
sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, no later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding date on which such funds
are required to be withdrawn from such Account pursuant to this Agreement or the
related Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable (or with respect to Permitted
Investments of funds held in the Distribution Account, no later than 12:00 noon
(New York City time) on the next succeeding Distribution Date); PROVIDED that
any such investment of funds in any Servicing Account or Reserve Account shall
be subject to applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Loan
Documents; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the funds in any Account shall remain
uninvested unless and until the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable, gives timely investment instructions with respect
thereto pursuant to this SECTION 3.06. All such Permitted Investments shall be
held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an
Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such). The
Master Servicer (with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts
-120-
in the Collection Account, the Servicing Accounts and the Reserve Accounts) and
the Special Servicer (with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts in the
REO Account), acting on behalf of the Trustee shall (and the Trustee hereby
designates the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as the
Person that shall), and the Trustee (with respect to Permitted Investments of
amounts in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account), acting on behalf of itself, shall, (i) be the
"entitlement holder" of any Permitted Investment that is a "security
entitlement" and (ii) maintain "control" of any Permitted Investment that is
either a "certificated security", "uncertificated security" or "deposit
account". For purposes of this SECTION 3.06(A), (i) the terms "entitlement
holder", "security entitlement", "control" (except with respect to deposit
accounts), "certificated security" and "uncertificated security" shall have the
meanings given such terms in Revised Article 8 (1994 Revision) of the UCC, and
the terms "control" (with respect to deposit accounts) and "deposit account"
shall have the meanings given to such terms in Revised Article 9 (1998 Revision)
of the UCC, and (ii) "control" of any Permitted Investment by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer shall constitute "control" by a Person
designated by, and acting on behalf of, the Trustee for purposes of Revised
Article 8 (1994 Revision) of the UCC or Revised Article 9 (1998 Revision) of the
UCC, as applicable. If amounts on deposit in an Account are at any time invested
in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (in the case of
the Collection Account or any Servicing Account or Reserve Account), or the
Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account) or the Trustee (in the case of
the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account) shall:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given
thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on
the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise
mature hereunder in an amount at least equal to the
lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and
(2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date;
and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly
upon determination by the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be,
that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a
Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on deposit in the Account.
(b) Whether or not the Master Servicer directs the investment
of funds in the Collection Account, interest and investment income realized on
funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any,
for such Account for each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive
benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in
accordance with SECTION 3.05(A). Whether or not the Master Servicer directs the
investment of funds in any Servicing Account or Reserve Account, interest and
investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net
Investment Earnings, if any, for such Account for each Collection Period and,
further, if and to the extent not required to be paid to the related Borrower
pursuant to applicable law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents,
shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be
subject to withdrawal from time to time in accordance with SECTION 3.03. Whether
or not the Special Servicer directs the investment of funds in the REO Account,
interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the
extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for such Account for each
Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Special
Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with SECTION
3.16(B). Whether or not the Trustee directs the investment of funds in the
Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited
therein, to
-121-
the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for such Account for each
Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Trustee
and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with SECTION 3.05(B). If
any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment on deposit in
any Account (other than a loss of what would otherwise have constituted
investment earnings and, in the case of a Servicing Account or Reserve Account,
other than a loss of an investment made for the benefit of the related Borrower,
which is either invested at the direction of the related Borrower or as required
under the related Mortgage Loan Documents), the Master Servicer (in the case of
the Collection Account and any Servicing Account or Reserve Account), the
Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account) and the Trustee (in the case
of the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account) shall promptly deposit therein from its own funds,
without right of reimbursement, no later than the end of the Collection Period
during which such loss was incurred, the amount of the Net Investment Loss, if
any, in respect of such Account for such Collection Period (or, in the case of a
Servicing Account or Reserve Account, the entire amount of such loss).
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
if any default occurs in the making of any payment due under any Permitted
Investment of funds in any Account, or if a default occurs in any other
performance required under any Permitted Investment of funds in any Account, and
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has not taken such
action, then the Trustee may (and, subject to SECTION 8.02, upon the request of
(i) Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
allocated to any Class of REMIC III Regular Interest Certificates or (ii) the
Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee shall) take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate legal proceedings. Any costs incurred by the
Trustee in taking any such action shall be reimbursed to it by the party
hereunder that maintains such Account (or, if it is the Trustee that maintains
such Account, shall be borne by the Trustee). This provision is in no way
intended to limit any actions that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
may take in this regard at its own expense.
(d) Notwithstanding the investment of funds held in any
Account, for purposes of the calculations hereunder, including the calculation
of the Standard Available Distribution Amount and the Master Servicer Remittance
Amount, the amounts so invested shall be deemed to remain on deposit in such
Account.
SECTION 3.07. Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and
Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) In the case of each Serviced Mortgage Loan (including each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Borrower to
maintain (and, if such Borrower does not so maintain, the Master Servicer will
itself cause to be maintained) for the related Mortgaged Property all insurance
coverage as is required, subject to applicable law, under the related Mortgage
Loan Documents (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance
coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default); PROVIDED that, if and to the
extent that any Serviced Mortgage Loan grants the lender thereunder any
discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise) as to the insurance
coverage that the related Borrower is required to maintain, the Master Servicer
shall exercise such discretion in a manner consistent with the Servicing
Standard, with a view towards requiring insurance coverage with respect to the
related Mortgaged Property no less favorable to that in place with respect to
the related Mortgaged Property on the Closing Date and otherwise comparable to
that required under other Serviced Mortgage Loans with express
-122-
provisions governing such matters and, in any event, including insurance for
property damage resulting from terrorist and similar acts (either by way of an
all-risk casualty policy with no exclusion for such risks or a separate policy
covering property damage from such risks), as well as business interruption or
rental loss insurance for at least 12 months; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that, if
and to the extent that any Serviced Mortgage Loan grants the lender thereunder
any discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise) as to the insurance
provider from whom the related Borrower is to obtain the requisite insurance
coverage, the Master Servicer shall require the related Borrower to obtain the
requisite insurance coverage from Qualified Insurers that possess (or whose
obligations are, in any such case, guaranteed or backed in writing by an entity
that possesses) the Required Claims-Paying Ratings; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that,
in the case of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required
to maintain such insurance coverage upon the related Borrower's failure to do so
only to the extent that (I) such insurance is available at commercially
reasonable rates and the Trustee as mortgagee has an insurable interest
(PROVIDED that, subject to the Trustee as mortgagee having an insurable
interest, the Master Servicer shall maintain insurance coverage for property
damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts, unless the Borrower's failure
to maintain such insurance constituted an Acceptable Insurance Default), and
(II) the payment of premiums for such insurance either would not constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance or may be made directly from the Collection Account in
accordance with SECTION 3.11(I). Subject to SECTION 3.17(B), the Special
Servicer shall also cause to be maintained for each Administered REO Property no
less insurance coverage (to the extent (I) such insurance is available at
commercially reasonable rates (except in the case of insurance coverage for
property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts, which coverage the
Special Servicer shall maintain unless the Borrower's failure to maintain such
insurance would have constituted an Acceptable Insurance Default), and (II) the
payment of premiums for such insurance either would not constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance or may be made directly from the Collection Account in
accordance with SECTION 3.11(I)) than was previously required of the related
Borrower under the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, at a minimum, (i) hazard
insurance with a replacement cost rider and, unless it would have constituted an
Acceptable Insurance Default for the related Borrower, no exclusion for
terrorist or similar acts, (ii) business interruption or rental loss insurance
for at least 12 months, and (iii) commercial general liability insurance, in
each case, in an amount customary for the type and geographic location of such
REO Property and consistent with the Servicing Standard; PROVIDED that all such
insurance shall be obtained from Qualified Insurers that possess (or whose
obligations are, in any such case, guaranteed or backed in writing by an entity
that possesses) the Required Claims-Paying Ratings. All such insurance policies
shall contain (if they insure against loss to property) a "standard" mortgagee
clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in
the case of insurance maintained in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan), or
shall name the Trustee as the insured, with loss payable to the Special Servicer
on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of an
Administered REO Property), and shall be issued by an insurer authorized under
applicable law to issue such insurance. Any amounts collected by the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO
Property or amounts to be released to the related Borrower, in each case in
accordance with the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to SECTION 3.05(A), in the case of
amounts received in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to SECTION 3.16(C), in the case of amounts
received in respect of an Administered REO Property. Any cost incurred by the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not,
for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance or Stated Principal
Balance
-123-
of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of
such Mortgage Loan so permit; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this sentence shall not
limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the
Trust to enforce any obligations of the related Borrower under such Mortgage
Loan. Costs to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer of maintaining insurance
policies pursuant to this SECTION 3.07 shall be paid by and reimbursable to the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as a Servicing Advance.
(b) If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall obtain
and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy or master
force placed policy insuring against hazard losses on some or all of the
Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties, as applicable, for
which it is responsible, then, to the extent such policy (i) is obtained from a
Qualified Insurer that possesses (or whose obligations are guaranteed or backed
in writing by an entity that possesses) the Required Claims-Paying Ratings, and
(ii) provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise
required under SECTION 3.07(A), the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the
case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to
cause hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or
REO Properties, as applicable. Such a blanket or master force placed policy may
contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary amount), in which case
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, that maintains such
policy shall, if there shall not have been maintained on any Mortgaged Property
(other than the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Mortgaged Property) or
Administered REO Property thereunder a hazard insurance policy complying with
the requirements of SECTION 3.07(A), and there shall have been one or more
losses that would have been covered by such an individual policy, promptly
deposit into the Collection Account, from its own funds (without right of
reimbursement), the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket or master
force placed policy in connection with such loss or losses because of such
deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible
limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan Documents (or, in the
absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation for an
individual policy which is consistent with the Servicing Standard). Each of the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall prepare and present, on behalf of
itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket or
master force placed policy maintained by it in a timely fashion in accordance
with the terms of such policy.
(c) Within 45 days after the Closing Date, with respect to
each of the Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall
notify the insurer under the related Environmental Insurance Policy and take all
other action necessary for the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, to
be an insured (and for the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make
claims) under such Environmental Insurance Policy. In the event that the Master
Servicer has actual knowledge of any event (an "INSURED ENVIRONMENTAL EVENT")
giving rise to a claim under any Environmental Insurance Policy in respect of
any Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loan for which the Borrower has not filed a
claim, the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with the terms of such
Environmental Insurance Policy and the Servicing Standard, timely make a claim
thereunder with the appropriate insurer and shall take such other actions in
accordance with the Servicing Standard which are necessary under such
Environmental Insurance Policy in order to realize the full value thereof for
the benefit of the Certificateholders. If any other party hereto has actual
knowledge of an Insured Environmental Event with respect to any Environmentally
Insured Mortgage Loan, such party shall promptly so notify the Master Servicer.
Any legal fees, premiums or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance
with the Servicing Standard in connection with any such claim under an
Environmental Insurance Policy shall be
-124-
paid by the Master Servicer and shall be reimbursable to it as a Servicing
Advance. With respect to each Environmental Insurance Policy in respect of an
Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall review and
familiarize itself with the terms and conditions relating to enforcement of
claims and shall monitor the dates by which any claim must be made or any action
must be taken under such policy in order to realize the full value thereof for
the benefit of the Certificateholders in the event the Master Servicer has
actual knowledge of an Insured Environmental Event giving rise to a claim under
such policy.
The Master Servicer shall abide by the terms and conditions
precedent to payment of claims under the Environmental Insurance Policies with
respect to the Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loans and take all such action
as may be required to comply with the terms and provisions of such policies in
order to maintain such policies in full force and effect and to make claims
thereunder.
In the event that the Master Servicer receives notice of any
termination of any Environmental Insurance Policy with respect to
Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall, within five
Business Days after receipt of such notice, notify the Special Servicer, the
Controlling Class Representative, the Rating Agencies and the Trustee of such
termination in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Master Servicer shall
address such termination in accordance with SECTION 3.07(A) in the same manner
as it would the termination of any other Insurance Policy required under the
related Mortgage Loan Documents. Any legal fees, premiums or other out-of-pocket
costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with
enforcing the obligations of the Borrower under any Environmental Insurance
Policy or a resolution of such termination of an Environmental Insurance Policy
shall be paid by the Master Servicer and shall be reimbursable to it as a
Servicing Advance.
(d) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall at
all times during the term of this Agreement keep in force with Qualified
Insurers that possess (or whose obligations are, in any such case, guaranteed or
backed in writing by an entity that possesses) the Required Claims-Paying
Ratings, a fidelity bond in such form and amount as would permit it to be a
qualified ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac seller-servicer of multifamily mortgage
loans (or in such other form and amount as would not result in an Adverse Rating
Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates (as confirmed in writing
to the Trustee by the relevant Rating Agency)). The Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer each shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing
provision if an Affiliate thereof has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the
terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Such fidelity bond
shall provide that it may not be canceled without 30 days' prior written notice
to the Trustee.
In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each
shall at all times during the term of this Agreement keep in force with
Qualified Insurers that possess (or whose obligations are, in any such case,
guaranteed or backed in writing by an entity that possesses) the Required
Claims-Paying Ratings, a policy or policies of insurance covering loss
occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in
connection with its obligation to service the Serviced Mortgage Loans for which
it is responsible hereunder and, to the limited extent contemplated by ARTICLES
I through XI, to administer the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan], which
policy or policies shall be in such form and amount as would permit it to be a
qualified ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac seller-servicer of multifamily mortgage
loans (or in such other form and amount as would not result in an Adverse Rating
Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates (as confirmed in writing
to the Trustee by the relevant Rating
-125-
Agency)). A Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied
with the foregoing provisions if an Affiliate thereof has such insurance and, by
the terms of such policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends
to such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such errors
and omissions policy shall provide that it may not be canceled without 30 days'
prior written notice to the Trustee.
(e) On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to and
deposit with the Special Servicer the Group Terrorism Insurance Policy, and the
Special Servicer shall hold and maintain the Group Terrorism Insurance Policy
for so long as it is in effect. In the event that the Special Servicer gains
actual knowledge of any act of terrorism at any of the Mortgaged Properties
securing the Mortgage Loans identified on EXHIBIT B-1H, which gives rise to a
loss for which a claim can be made under the Group Terrorism Insurance Policy
(an "INSURED TERRORISM EVENT"), then the Special Servicer shall promptly notify
the Trustee and, in accordance with the terms of the Group Terrorism Insurance
Policy and the Servicing Standard, shall timely make a claim under the Group
Terrorism Insurance Policy with the appropriate insurer and shall take such
other actions in accordance with the Servicing Standard which are necessary
under the Group Terrorism Insurance Policy in order to realize the full value
thereof for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If any other party hereto has
actual knowledge of an Insured Terrorism Event with respect to any Mortgage Loan
identified on EXHIBIT B-1H, such party shall promptly so notify the Special
Servicer. Any legal fees, premiums or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in
accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any such claim under
the Group Terrorism Insurance Policy shall, at the direction of the Special
Servicer pursuant to SECTION 3.19(B), be paid by the Master Servicer and shall
be reimbursable to the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. With respect to
the Group Terrorism Insurance Policy, the Special Servicer shall review and
familiarize itself with the terms and conditions relating to enforcement of
claims and shall monitor the dates by which any claim must be made or any action
must be taken under such policy in order to realize the full value thereof for
the benefit of the Certificateholders in the event the Special Servicer has
actual knowledge of an Insured Terrorism Event giving rise to a claim under such
policy.
The Special Servicer shall abide by the terms and conditions
precedent to payment of claims under the Group Terrorism Insurance Policy with
respect to the Mortgage Loans identified on EXHIBIT B-1H and take all such
action as may be required to comply with the terms and provisions of such policy
in order to maintain such policy in full force and effect and to make claims
thereunder.
It is hereby acknowledged that the Depositor or its Affiliate
will be responsible for paying the premiums with respect to the Group Terrorism
Insurance Policy and that the Group Terrorism Insurance Policy will remain in
place with respect to any particular Mortgage Loan identified on EXHIBIT B-1H
only until the "renewal date" for such Mortgage Loan specified on EXHIBIT B-1H.
The Special Servicer shall not undertake any efforts to extend the term of the
Group Terrorism Insurance Policy with respect to any Mortgage Loan identified on
EXHIBIT B-1H, PROVIDED that in no event is this sentence intended to relieve the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of any obligations relating to the
maintenance of insurance in respect of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and the
related Mortgaged Properties under any other provisions of this Agreement. At
such time as the Group Terrorism Insurance Policy is no longer in effect, the
Special Servicer shall return such policy to the Depositor.
Any Insurance Proceeds received under the Group Terrorism
Insurance Policy shall be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit
in the Collection Account.

SECTION 3.08. Enforcement of Alienation Clauses.
The Master Servicer (with respect to a Performing Serviced
Mortgage Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall
enforce any "due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clauses and any other
restrictions contained in the related Mortgage Loan Documents on transfers or
further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property and on transfers of
interests in the related Borrower, unless the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, has (i) determined, in its reasonable judgment,
that waiver of such restrictions would be in accordance with the Servicing
Standard and (ii) complied with the applicable requirements, if any, of SECTION
3.20(A) and SECTION 3.24; PROVIDED that, subject to the related Mortgage Loan
Documents and applicable law, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special
Servicer shall waive any right it has, or grant any consent it is otherwise
entitled to withhold, in accordance with any related "due-on-encumbrance" clause
under any Serviced Mortgage Loan, until it has received written confirmation
from each Rating Agency that such action would not result in an Adverse Rating
Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates; and PROVIDED, FURTHER,
that, if the affected Serviced Mortgage Loan, individually or together with all
other Serviced Mortgage Loans, if any, that are in the same Cross-Collateralized
Group as such Mortgage Loan is one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans then in the
trust or has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance in excess of $__________, then,
subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall waive any right it has, or grant
any consent it is otherwise entitled to withhold, in accordance with any related
"due-on-sale" clause under any Serviced Mortgage Loan until it has received
written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such action would not result
in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates; and
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that, subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and
applicable law, the Master Servicer shall not waive any right it has, or grant
any consent it is otherwise entitled to withhold, in accordance with any related
"due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clause under any Serviced Mortgage Loan,
or approve the assumption of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, until it has delivered
to the Special Servicer its recommendation and analysis of the request, together
with a copy of the materials and information upon which such recommendation is
based, and has received the consent of the Special Servicer (the giving of which
consent shall be subject to the Servicing Standard and SECTION 3.24), which
consent shall be deemed given if not denied in writing within ten Business Days
of receipt by the Special Servicer of the Master Servicer's written
recommendation and analysis and any additional information requested by the
Special Servicer or the Controlling Class Representative; and PROVIDED, FURTHER,
that, subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, neither
the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall waive any right it has, or
grant any consent it is otherwise entitled to withhold, in accordance with any
related "due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clause under any Serviced Mortgage
Loan, or approve the assumption of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, unless in any
such case, all associated costs and expenses are covered without any expense to
the Trust (it being understood and agreed that, except as expressly provided
herein, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated
to cover or assume any such costs or expenses); and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall (to the extent that
it is within the control thereof to prohibit such event) consent to the transfer
of any Mortgaged Property which secures a Cross-Collateralized Group unless (i)
all of the Mortgaged Properties securing such Cross-Collateralized Group are
transferred simultaneously by the respective Borrower or (ii) it obtains the
consent of the Controlling Class Representative, which consent shall be deemed
given if not denied in writing within ten Business Days of receipt by the
Controlling Class Representative of written notice of such action and
-127-
all reasonably requested information related thereto. In the case of any
Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each
provide the other with all such information as each may reasonably request in
order to perform its duties under this section.
In connection with any permitted assumption of any Serviced
Mortgage Loan or waiver of a "due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clause
thereunder, the Master Servicer (in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage
Loan) or the Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan) shall prepare all documents necessary and appropriate for such purposes
and shall coordinate with the related Borrower for the due execution and
delivery of such documents.
If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer collects an
assumption fee or an assumption application fee in connection with any transfer
or proposed transfer of any interest in a Borrower or a Mortgaged Property, then
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will apply that fee
to cover the costs and expenses associated with that transfer or proposed
transfer that are not otherwise paid by the related Borrower and that would
otherwise be payable or reimbursable out of the Trust Fund, including any Rating
Agency fees and expenses to the extent such fees and expenses are collectible
under applicable law and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
appropriate, fails to enforce such requirement in accordance with the related
Mortgage Loan Documents. Any remaining portion of such assumption fee (such
remaining portion, a "NET ASSUMPTION FEE") or of such assumption application fee
(such remaining portion, a "NET ASSUMPTION APPLICATION FEE") will be applied as
additional compensation to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in
accordance with SECTION 3.11. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special
Servicer shall waive any assumption fee or assumption application fee, to the
extent it would constitute additional compensation for the other such party,
without the consent of such other party.
If and to the extent that, in the case of any Mortgage Loan,
approval of the lender is required in connection with the related Borrower's
incurring unsecured debt in addition to (A) trade receivables, (B) equipment
financing and (C) other debt incurred in the ordinary course of business, then
the Master Servicer (if the subject Mortgage Loan is a Performing Serviced
Mortgage Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the subject Mortgage Loan is a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), as applicable, shall refuse to approve such
unsecured debt unless and until it has obtained (i) in the case of the Master
Servicer, the consent of the Special Servicer (the giving of which consent shall
be subject to the Servicing Standard and SECTION 3.24), which consent shall be
deemed given if not denied in writing within 10 Business Days of receipt by the
Special Servicer of the Master Servicer's written recommendation and analysis
and any additional information requested by the Special Servicer, and (ii) in
each such case, if the subject Mortgage Loan has an unpaid principal balance in
excess of $__________, written confirmation from each Rating Agency to the
effect that the related Borrower's incurring such unsecured debt will not result
in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates;
PROVIDED that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be
obligated to obtain any such ratings confirmation if, pursuant to the related
Mortgage Loan Documents and/or applicable law, it would not be able either (i)
to withhold its consent based upon the failure of either Rating Agency to
provide such ratings confirmation or (ii) to obtain payment from the related
Borrower of the cost of obtaining such ratings confirmation.
-128-
SECTION 3.09. Realization Upon Defaulted Serviced Mortgage
Loans.
(a) The Special Servicer shall, subject to SECTIONS 3.09(B),
3.09(C), 3.09(D) and 3.24 of this Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts,
consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of the real property and other collateral
securing any Serviced Mortgage Loan that comes into and continues in default and
as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
delinquent payments, including pursuant to SECTION 3.20; PROVIDED that the
Master Servicer shall not, with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is an
ARD Mortgage Loan, take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of
Post-ARD Additional Interest (other than the making of requests for its
collection), and the Special Servicer will do so only if such Mortgage Loan has
become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and either (i) the taking of an
enforcement action with respect to the payment of other amounts due under such
Mortgage Loan is, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, and
without regard to such Post-ARD Additional Interest, also necessary, appropriate
and consistent with the Servicing Standard or (ii) all other amounts due under
such Mortgage Loan have been paid, the payment of such Post-ARD Additional
Interest has not been forgiven in accordance with SECTION 3.20 and, in the
reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, the Liquidation Proceeds expected
to be recovered in connection with such enforcement action will cover the
anticipated costs of such enforcement action and, if applicable, any associated
Advance Interest. In connection with the foregoing, in the event of a default
under any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Cross-Collateralized Group that is secured
by real properties located in multiple states, and such states include
California or another state with a statute, rule or regulation comparable to
California's "one action rule", then the Special Servicer shall consult
Independent counsel regarding the order and manner in which the Special Servicer
should foreclose upon or comparably proceed against such properties. The
reasonable costs of such consultation shall be paid by, and shall be
reimbursable to, the Special Servicer (or, subject to SECTION 3.19(B), the
Master Servicer) as a Servicing Advance. In addition, all other costs and
expenses incurred in any foreclosure sale or similar proceeding shall be paid
by, and reimbursable to, the Special Servicer (or, subject to SECTION 3.19(B),
the Master Servicer) as a Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this SECTION
3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Special Servicer, on behalf of the
Trust, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar
proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as
determined by the Special Servicer taking into account the factors described in
SECTION 3.18 and the results of any appraisal obtained pursuant to the following
sentence or otherwise, all such bids to be made in a manner consistent with the
Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer deems it necessary in
accordance with the Servicing Standard for purposes of establishing the fair
market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage
Loan, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special
Servicer is authorized to have an Appraisal completed with respect to such
property (the cost of which appraisal shall be covered by, and be reimbursable
as, a Servicing Advance).
The Master Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert, including by taking title thereto, any real property or
other collateral securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loan (and, except as
expressly provided for in ARTICLE XII, neither the Master Servicer nor the
Special Servicer shall take any such action with respect to the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan]).
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Special Servicer shall not acquire a Mortgaged Property on behalf of the Trust
under such circumstances, in such manner or pursuant to such terms as would (i)
cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
-129-
property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (unless the
portion of such REO Property that is not treated as "foreclosure property" and
that is held by any REMIC Pool at any given time constitutes not more than a DE
MINIMIS amount of the assets of such REMIC Pool within the meaning of Treasury
regulation section 1.860D-1(b)(3)(i) and (ii)), or (ii) except as permitted by
SECTION 3.17(A), subject the Trust to the imposition of any federal income or
prohibited transaction taxes under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, however,
a Mortgaged Property may be acquired through a single member limited liability
company pursuant to SECTION 3.16. In addition, the Special Servicer shall not
acquire any personal property on behalf of the Trust pursuant to this SECTION
3.09 unless either:
(i) such personal property is incident to real
property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so
acquired by the Special Servicer; or
(ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an
Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be covered by, and
reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of
such personal property as part of the Trust Fund will not result in an
Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse
Grantor Trust Event with respect to either Grantor Trust Pool.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this SECTION
3.09, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust, obtain title to a
Mortgaged Property by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or
take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of
any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, could, in the
reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, be considered to hold title to, to be a
"mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless:
(i) the Special Servicer has previously determined in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on a Phase I
Environmental Assessment (and any additional environmental testing that
the Special Servicer deems necessary and prudent) of the subject
Mortgaged Property conducted during the 12-month period preceding any
such acquisition of title or other action by an Independent Person who
regularly conducts Phase I Environmental Assessments, that such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws
and regulations and there are no circumstances or conditions present at
such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of
Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring,
containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any
applicable environmental laws and regulations; or
(ii) subject to SECTION 3.24 of this Agreement, in
the event that the determination described in CLAUSE (C)(I) above
cannot be made, the Special Servicer has previously determined in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, on the same basis as described
in CLAUSE (C)(I) above, and taking into account the coverage provided
under any related Environmental Insurance Policy, that it would
maximize the recovery to the Certificateholders (as a collective whole)
on a present value basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated
collections that will be distributable to Certificateholders to be
performed at the related Net Mortgage Rate) to acquire title to or
possession of the subject Mortgaged Property and to take such remedial,
corrective and/or other further actions as are necessary to bring the
Mortgaged
-130-
Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws and
regulations and to appropriately address any of the circumstances and
conditions referred to in CLAUSE (C)(I) above.
Any such determination by the Special Servicer contemplated by
CLAUSE (I) or CLAUSE (II) of the preceding paragraph shall be evidenced by an
Officer's Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative, specifying all of the bases
for such determination, such Officer's Certificate to be accompanied by all
related environmental reports. The cost of such Phase I Environmental Assessment
and any such additional environmental testing shall be advanced by the Master
Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer in accordance with SECTION
3.19(B) given in accordance with the Servicing Standard; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Master Servicer shall not be obligated in connection therewith to advance
any funds which, if so advanced, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance. Amounts so advanced shall be subject to reimbursement as Servicing
Advances in accordance with SECTION 3.05(A). The cost of any remedial,
corrective or other further action contemplated by CLAUSE (II) of the preceding
paragraph shall be payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to SECTION
3.05.
(d) If neither of the conditions set forth in CLAUSE (I) and
CLAUSE (II) of the first sentence of SECTION 3.09(C) has been satisfied with
respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loan,
then (subject to SECTION 3.24 of this Agreement) the Special Servicer shall take
such action as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (other than
proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and, at such time as it deems
appropriate, may, on behalf of the Trust, release all or a portion of such
Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage.
(e) The Special Servicer shall report to the Trustee, the
Master Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative monthly in writing, in
the form of an Officer's Certificate, as to any actions taken by the Special
Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to which neither of the
conditions set forth in CLAUSES (I) and (II) of the first sentence of SECTION
3.09(C) has been satisfied, in each case until the earliest to occur of
satisfaction of either of such conditions, release of the lien of the related
Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property and the related Serviced Mortgage Loan's
becoming a Corrected Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(f) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of seeking to obtain a
deficiency judgment with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan if the state in
which the related Mortgaged Property is located and the related Mortgage Loan
Documents permit such an action and shall, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, seek such deficiency judgment if it deems advisable.
(g) Annually in each January, the Special Servicer shall on a
timely basis forward to the Master Servicer the information required to prepare,
and the Master Servicer shall promptly prepare and file with the IRS on a timely
basis, the information returns with respect to the reports of foreclosures and
abandonments and reports relating to any cancellation of indebtedness income
with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or related Mortgaged Property
required by Sections 6050H (as applicable), 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
Contemporaneously, the Master Servicer shall promptly forward to the Trustee an
Officer's Certificate stating that all such information returns relating to any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property that were required
to be filed during the prior twelve (12) months have been properly completed and
timely filed. The Master Servicer shall prepare and file the information returns
with respect to the receipt of any mortgage interest received in a trade or
-131-
business from individuals with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan as required
by Section 6050H of the Code. All information returns shall be in form and
substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by the relevant
sections of the Code.
(h) As soon as the Special Servicer (or, in the case of a
Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or
any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Property, the Master Servicer) makes
in consultation with the Controlling Class Representative a Final Recovery
Determination with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, it shall
promptly notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, and the Controlling Class
Representative. The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared
by a Servicing Officer, of each such Final Recovery Determination (if any) made
by it and the basis thereof. Each such Final Recovery Determination (if any)
shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the
Master Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative no later than the third
Business Day following such Final Recovery Determination.
SECTION 3.10. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, or
the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that such payment in full
shall be escrowed or made in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master
Servicer shall promptly so notify the Trustee and request delivery to it or its
designee of the related Mortgage File (such notice and request to be effected by
delivering to the Trustee a Request for Release in the form of EXHIBIT D-1
attached hereto, which Request for Release shall be accompanied by the form of
any release or discharge to be executed by the Trustee and shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to SECTION 3.04(A) have been or will be so
deposited). Upon receipt of such Request for Release, the Trustee shall promptly
release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or its designee and
shall deliver to the Master Servicer or its designee such accompanying release
or discharge, duly executed. Customary expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall not be chargeable to
the Collection Account or the Distribution Account.
(b) If from time to time, and as appropriate for servicing or
foreclosure of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall otherwise require any Mortgage File (or any portion thereof),
then, upon request of the Master Servicer and receipt from the Master Servicer
of a Request for Release in the form of EXHIBIT D-1 attached hereto signed by a
Servicing Officer thereof, or upon request of the Special Servicer and receipt
from the Special Servicer of a Request for Release in the form of EXHIBIT D-2
attached hereto, the Trustee shall release or cause the release of such Mortgage
File (or portion thereof) to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, or its designee. Upon return of such Mortgage File (or portion
thereof) to the Trustee, or upon the Special Servicer's delivery to the Trustee
of an Officer's Certificate stating that (i) the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan
was liquidated and all amounts received or to be received in connection with
such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account
pursuant to SECTION 3.04(A) have been or will be so deposited or (ii) such
Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release
shall be returned by the Trustee to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable.
-132-
(c) Within five Business Days of the Special Servicer's
request therefor (or, if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of an
exigency, within such shorter period as is reasonable under the circumstances),
the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer, in the form
supplied to the Trustee by the Special Servicer, any court pleadings, requests
for trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or
trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against any Borrower on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to
obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in
equity or to defend any legal action or counterclaim filed against the Trust,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer; PROVIDED that the Trustee may
alternatively execute and deliver to the Special Servicer, in the form supplied
to the Trustee by the Special Servicer, a limited power of attorney issued in
favor of the Special Servicer and empowering the Special Servicer to execute and
deliver any or all of such pleadings or documents on behalf of the Trustee
(however, the Trustee shall not be liable for any misuse of such power of
attorney by the Special Servicer). Together with such pleadings or documents (or
such power of attorney empowering the Special Servicer to execute the same on
behalf of the Trustee), the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officer's Certificate requesting that such pleadings or documents (or such power
of attorney empowering the Special Servicer to execute the same on behalf of the
Trustee) be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such
pleadings or documents are required and that the execution and delivery thereof
by the Trustee (or by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee) will not
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the
termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
(d) If from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] A/A Intercreditor Agreement and any
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement, and as appropriate for
enforcing the terms of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan], the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer, the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
Special Servicer or the holder of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] PARI
PASSU Companion Loan requests delivery to it of the original Mortgage Note for
the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan], then the Trustee shall release or cause
the release of such original Mortgage Note to the requesting party or its
designee. In connection with the release of the original Mortgage Note for the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] in accordance with the preceding sentence,
the Trustee shall obtain such documentation as is appropriate to evidence the
holding by the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer, the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Special Servicer or the holder of the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] PARI PASSU Companion Loan of such original
Mortgage Note as custodian on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustee.
SECTION 3.11. Master Servicing and Special Servicing
Compensation; Interest on and Reimbursement of
Servicing Advances; Payment of Certain Expenses;
Obligations of the Trustee and any Fiscal Agent
Regarding Back-up Servicing Advances.
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive monthly the Master Servicing Fee with
respect to each Mortgage Loan (including the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
and each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each REO Loan. The Master
Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall commence accruing on its
Due Date in ________ ____, and the Master Servicing Fee with respect to any REO
Loan shall commence accruing on the Acquisition Date for the related REO
Property. As to each Mortgage Loan and REO
-133-
Loan, for any particular one-month period from and including one related Due
Date to but excluding the immediately following related Due Date (or for any
applicable portion of any such one-month period), the Master Servicing Fee shall
accrue at the related Master Servicing Fee Rate on the same principal amount and
for the same number of days as interest accrues or is deemed to accrue during
such one-month period (or portion thereof) on such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as
the case may be. As to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Master Servicing Fee
shall be computed on the same Interest Accrual Basis as is applicable to the
accrual or deemed accrual of interest on such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the
case may be. The Master Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO
Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof.
Master Servicing Fees earned with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan shall
be payable monthly from payments of interest on such Mortgage Loan or REO
Revenues allocable as interest on such REO Loan, as the case may be. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Master Servicing Fees in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan out of the portion of any related Insurance
Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds allocable as interest on
such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be.
[Master Servicer] and any holder of the Excess Servicing Fee
Right shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell,
pledge or otherwise assign the Excess Servicing Fee Right in whole (but not in
part) to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor
(other than a Plan), PROVIDED that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other
assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other
assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of
the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise
made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws, (ii)
the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate
substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT F-3A hereto, and (iii) the
prospective transferee shall have delivered to [Master Servicer] and the
Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT F-3B
hereto. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar is
obligated to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right under the
Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under this Agreement to permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment
of the Excess Servicing Fee Right without registration or qualification. [Master
Servicer], and each holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect
a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of the Excess Servicing Fee Right
shall, and [Master Servicer] hereby agrees, and each such holder of the Excess
Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of the Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be
deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of the Excess Servicing
Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the
Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Trustee, any Fiscal Agent, the
Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer against any
liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration
and/or qualification under the Securities Act or other applicable federal and
state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. By its
acceptance of the Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed
to have agreed (i) to keep all information relating to the Trust and the Trust
Fund and made available to it by the Master Servicer confidential (except as
permitted pursuant to CLAUSE (III) below or, in the case of the Master Servicer,
as contemplated hereby in the performance of its duties and obligations
hereunder), (ii) not to use or disclose such information in any manner that
could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other
applicable securities laws or that would require registration of the Excess
Servicing Fee Right or any Non-Registered Certificate pursuant to the Securities
Act, and (iii) not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers,
directors,
-134-
partners, employees, agents or representatives not to disclose such information,
in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than
such holder's auditors, legal counsel and regulators, except to the extent such
disclosure is required by law, court order or other legal requirement or to the
extent such information is of public knowledge at the time of disclosure by such
holder or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of
disclosure by such holder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such holder may provide all
or any part of such information to any other Person who is contemplating an
acquisition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right if, and only if, such Person (x)
confirms in writing such prospective acquisition and (y) agrees in writing to
keep such information confidential, not to use or disclose such information in
any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities
Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of
the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Non-Registered Certificates pursuant to
the Securities Act and not to disclose such information, and to cause its
officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives not to
disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any
other Person other than such Persons' auditors, legal counsel and regulators.
From time to time following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of the
Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Person then acting as Master Servicer shall pay,
out of each amount paid to the Master Servicer as Master Servicing Fees, the
related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Right
within one Business Day following the payment of such Master Servicing Fees to
the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions
provided by such holder in writing to the Master Servicer. The holder of the
Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except
as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. Neither the Trustee
nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding
payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess
Servicing Fee Right.
Subject to the Master Servicer's right to employ
Sub-Servicers, the right to receive the Master Servicing Fee may not be
transferred in whole or in part except pursuant to the immediately preceding
paragraph or in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Subject to offset as provided in SECTION 3.02(A), the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the following items as additional
servicing compensation (the following items, collectively, "ADDITIONAL MASTER
SERVICING COMPENSATION"):
(i) any and all Net Default Charges collected with
respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or, to the extent
remitted to the Trust under a [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
Servicing Agreement or transferred from the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] Custodial Account to the Collection Account under
SECTION 12.04(B), with respect to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage
Loan] or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan;
(ii) [50]% of any and all Net Assumption Application
Fees, Net Assumption Fees, modification fees, extension fees, consent
fees, release fees, waiver fees, fees paid in connection with
defeasance and earn-out fees actually paid by a Borrower with respect
to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan;
(iii) any and all charges for beneficiary statements
or demands, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient
funds and other loan processing fees actually paid
-135-
by a Borrower with respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan and,
in the case of checks returned for insufficient funds, with respect to
a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan;
(iv) any and all Prepayment Interest Excesses
collected with respect to the Mortgage Loans, including Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan], to the extent not needed to pay Compensating Interest
Payments; and
(v) interest or other income earned on deposits in
the Accounts maintained by the Master Servicer, in accordance with
SECTION 3.06(B) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings,
if any, with respect to any such Account for each Collection Period
and, further, in the case of a Servicing Account or Reserve Account,
only to the extent such interest or other income is not required to be
paid to any Borrower under applicable law or under the related
Mortgage).
To the extent that any of the amounts described in CLAUSES (I)
through (IV), inclusive, of the preceding paragraph are collected by the Special
Servicer, the Special Servicer shall promptly pay such amounts to the Master
Servicer.
(c) As compensation for its activities hereunder, subject to
the proviso to CLAUSE (E) of the definition of "Servicing Transfer Event", the
Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive monthly the Special Servicing Fee
with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan (other
than any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan). The Special Servicing
Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall commence accruing
on the related Servicing Transfer Date, and the Special Servicing Fee with
respect to any REO Loan (other than any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO
Loan) shall commence accruing on the Acquisition Date for the related REO
Property. As to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Loan (other than
any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan), for any particular one-month
period from and including one related Due Date to but excluding the immediately
following related Due Date (or for any applicable portion of any such one-month
period), the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue at the Special Servicing Fee
Rate on the same principal amount and for the same number of days as interest
accrues or is deemed to accrue from time to time during such one-month period
(or portion thereof) on such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or such REO Loan,
as the case may be. As to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Loan
(other than any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan), the Special
Servicing Fee shall be computed on the same Interest Accrual Basis as is
applicable to the accrual or deemed accrual of interest on such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be. The Special Servicing
Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (other than
any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan) shall cease to accrue as of
the date a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof or, in the case of a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, as of the date it ceases to be a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan. Earned but unpaid Special Servicing Fees shall be
payable first out of related Liquidation Proceeds and then monthly out of
general collections on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in
the Collection Account.
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, subject
to the proviso to CLAUSE (E) of the definition of "Servicing Transfer Event",
the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Workout Fee with respect
to each Corrected Serviced Mortgage Loan. As to each Corrected Serviced Mortgage
Loan, the Workout Fee shall be payable out of, and shall be calculated by
application of the
-136-
applicable Workout Fee Rate to, each payment of interest (other than Post-ARD
Additional Interest and Default Interest) and principal received from the
related Borrower on such Mortgage Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected
Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Serviced
Mortgage Loan will cease to be payable if a Servicing Transfer Event occurs with
respect thereto or if such Mortgage Loan otherwise ceases to be a Corrected
Serviced Mortgage Loan; PROVIDED that a new Workout Fee would become payable if
and when such Mortgage Loan again became a Corrected Serviced Mortgage Loan with
respect to such new Servicing Transfer Event. If the Special Servicer is
terminated (other than for cause), including pursuant to SECTION 6.06, or
resigns in accordance with SECTION 6.04, it shall retain the right to receive
any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of (i) any Serviced Mortgage Loans
that became Corrected Serviced Mortgage Loans during the period that it acted as
Special Servicer and that were still Corrected Serviced Mortgage Loans at the
time of such termination or resignation and (ii) any Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan for which it has resolved the circumstances and/or conditions causing such
Mortgage Loan to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, but which had not as of
the time it was terminated or resigned become a Corrected Serviced Mortgage Loan
solely because the related Borrower had not made three consecutive timely
Monthly Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Serviced Mortgage
Loan as a result of the related Borrower making such three consecutive timely
Monthly Payments (and the successor special servicer shall not be entitled to
any portion of such Workout Fees), in each case until the Workout Fee for any
such loan ceases to be payable in accordance with the preceding sentence;
PROVIDED that, in the case of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan described in
CLAUSE (II) of this sentence, the terminated/resigning Special Servicer shall
immediately deliver the related Servicing File to the Master Servicer, and the
Master Servicer shall (without further compensation) monitor that all conditions
precedent to such Mortgage Loan's becoming a Corrected Serviced Mortgage Loan
are satisfied and, further, shall immediately transfer such Servicing File to
the new Special Servicer if and when it becomes apparent to the Master Servicer
that such conditions precedent will not be satisfied.
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, subject
to the proviso to CLAUSE (E) of the definition of "Servicing Transfer Event",
and further subject to the second succeeding sentence, the Special Servicer
shall also be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any, as to which it receives any full,
partial or discounted payoff from the related Borrower and each Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and Administered REO Property, if any, as to which it
receives any Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds.
As to any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property,
the Liquidation Fee shall be payable out of, and shall be calculated by
application of the Liquidation Fee Rate to, any such full, partial or discounted
payoff, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Liquidation Proceeds
received or collected in respect thereof (other than any portion of such payment
or proceeds that represents Post-ARD Additional Interest, Default Charges or a
Prepayment Premium). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Liquidation Fee shall be
payable based on, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with
(A) the repurchase of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO
Property by or on behalf of the related Mortgage Loan Seller as a result of a
Material Document Defect or a Material Breach, pursuant to the related Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement or as otherwise contemplated by SECTION 2.03, so long as
such repurchase occurs within the Initial Resolution Period and any applicable
Resolution Extension Period, B) the repurchase of any Early Defeasance Mortgage
Loan by CGMRC as a result of the defeasance of such Mortgage Loan prior to the
second anniversary of the Startup Day of the related Loan REMIC, pursuant to the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (C) the purchase of any Specially
Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan by the Special Servicer, the
-137-
Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) or any assignee thereof pursuant
to SECTION 3.18(C), (D) the purchase of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
Administered REO Property by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or a
Controlling Class Certificateholder pursuant to SECTION 9.01, (E) the
acquisition of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property
by the Sole Certificateholder(s) in exchange for all the Certificates pursuant
to SECTION 9.01, (F) the purchase of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
Administered REO Property by any other creditor of the related Borrower or any
of its Affiliates or other equity holders pursuant to a right under the related
Mortgage Loan Documents (PROVIDED that such right is exercised within the period
and in the manner required under such Mortgage Loan Documents and the payment of
the Liquidation Fee would not otherwise be covered by the price to be paid by
such creditor), (G) any payments under the Group Terrorism Insurance Policy or
(H) any Liquidation Event involving the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or
any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Property (including any purchase of
such Mortgage Loan by the holder of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
Subordinate Companion Loan in accordance with the [Separately Serviced Mortgage
Loan] A/B Intercreditor Agreement). The Liquidation Fee with respect to any such
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan will not be payable if such Mortgage Loan
becomes a Corrected Serviced Mortgage Loan.
Subject to the Special Servicer's right to employ
Sub-Servicers, the Special Servicer's right to receive any Special Servicing
Fee, Workout Fee and/or Liquidation Fee to which it is entitled may not be
transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of
the Special Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
(d) Subject to offset as provided in SECTION 3.02(A), the
Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the following items as additional
special servicing compensation (the following items, collectively, the
"ADDITIONAL SPECIAL SERVICING COMPENSATION"):
(i) any and all Net Default Charges collected with
respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an REO Loan (other
than any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]REO Loan);
(ii) any and all Net Assumption Fees, Net Assumption
Application Fees, modification fees, extension fees, consent fees,
release fees, waiver fees, fees paid in connection with defeasance,
earn-out fees and charges for beneficiary statements or demands that
are actually received on or with respect to a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or an REO Loan (other than any [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] REO Loan);
(iii) [50]% of any and all Net Assumption Fees, Net
Assumption Application Fees, modification fees, extension fees, consent
fees, release fees, waiver fees, fees paid in connection with
defeasance and earn-out fees that are actually received on or with
respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan; and
(iv) interest or other income earned on deposits in
the REO Account maintained by the Special Servicer in accordance with
SECTION 3.06(B) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings,
if any, with respect to the REO Account for each Collection Period).
-138-
To the extent that any of the amounts described in CLAUSES (I)
through (III), inclusive, of the preceding paragraph are collected by the Master
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall promptly pay such amounts to the Special
Servicer and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in the Collection
Account pursuant to SECTION 3.04(A).
(e) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be
required (subject to SECTION 3.11(H) below) to pay out of its own funds all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
(including payment of any amounts due and owing to any of Sub-Servicers retained
by it (including any termination fees) and the premiums for any blanket policy
or the standby fee or similar premium, if any, for any master force place policy
obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to SECTION 3.07(B)), if
and to the extent such expenses are not Servicing Advances or expenses payable
pursuant to SECTION 3.11(I) or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, directly
out of the Collection Account, any Servicing Account, any Reserve Account or the
REO Account, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement for any such expense incurred by it except as
expressly provided in this Agreement. If the Master Servicer is required to make
any Servicing Advance hereunder at the discretion of the Special Servicer in
accordance with SECTION 3.19 or otherwise, the Special Servicer shall promptly
provide the Master Servicer with such documentation regarding the subject
Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request.
(f) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required
under this Agreement to make a Servicing Advance, but it does not do so within
ten days after such Advance is required to be made, then the Trustee shall, if
it has actual knowledge of such failure on the part of the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, give notice of such failure to the
defaulting party. If such Advance is not made by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, within three Business Days after such
notice, then (subject to SECTION 3.11(H) below) the Trustee or a Fiscal Agent
appointed thereby shall make such Advance. If any Fiscal Agent makes any such
Servicing Advance, the Trustee shall be deemed not to be in default under this
Agreement for failing to do so.
(g) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and
any Fiscal Agent shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement
Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each Servicing
Advance made by that Person (with its own funds) hereunder, for so long as such
Servicing Advance is outstanding; PROVIDED that the Master Servicer shall not be
entitled to Advance Interest on any Servicing Advance made thereby to the extent
a payment of the item covered by such Servicing Advance has been made but is
being held in suspense. Such interest with respect to any Servicing Advance
shall be payable: (i) FIRST, in accordance with SECTIONS 3.05 and 1.04, out of
any and all Default Charges subsequently collected with respect to the
particular Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan with respect thereto as to which
such Servicing Advance was made; and (ii) THEN, after such Servicing Advance is
reimbursed, but only if and to the extent that such Default Charges described in
the immediately preceding CLAUSE (I) are and have been insufficient to cover
such Advance Interest, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties on deposit in the Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall
reimburse itself, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or any Fiscal Agent, as
appropriate, for any Servicing Advance made by any such Person as soon as
practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the
Collection Account.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or any Fiscal
Agent shall be required to make any Servicing Advance that it determines in its
reasonable judgment would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing
-139-
Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make
Servicing Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that
any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, shall be made by such Person in its reasonable judgment and
shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered promptly to the
Depositor, the Trustee (unless it is the Person making such determination) and
the Controlling Class Representative, setting forth the basis for such
determination, accompanied (in the case of the Controlling Class Representative
and otherwise upon request) by a copy of an Appraisal (if and when available) of
the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property performed within the 12 months
preceding such determination, and further accompanied (in the case of the
Controlling Class Representative and otherwise upon request) by any other
information, including engineers' reports, environmental surveys or similar
reports, that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee and any Fiscal Agent shall be
entitled to conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may
have been made by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to a
particular Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
shall each be entitled to conclusively rely on any determination of
nonrecoverability that may have been made by the other such party with respect
to a particular Servicing Advance. A copy of any such Officer's Certificate
(and, if requested, any such accompanying information) of the Master Servicer
shall also be delivered promptly to the Special Servicer, a copy of any such
Officer's Certificate (and, if requested, any such accompanying information) of
the Special Servicer shall also be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer,
and a copy of any such Officer's Certificates (and accompanying information) of
the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall also be promptly delivered to the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative. In the
case of any Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan, any determination regarding
whether any related Servicing Advance constitutes or would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall take into account the
cross-collateralization of the related Cross-Collateralized Group.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
the Master Servicer may (and, at the direction of the Special Servicer if a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property is involved,
shall) pay directly out of the Collection Account any servicing expense that, if
paid by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; PROVIDED that if the Master Servicer (or the
Special Servicer, if a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO
Property is involved) has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard
that making such payment is in the best interests of the Certificateholders (as
a collective whole), as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered promptly
to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Controlling Class Representative, setting
forth the basis for such determination and, in the case of the Controlling Class
Representative and otherwise upon request, accompanied by any information that
such Person may have obtained that supports such determination. A copy of any
such Officer's Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Master Servicer
shall also be delivered promptly to the Special Servicer, and a copy of any such
Officer's Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer
shall also be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer.
(j) If the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are
responsible for servicing and administering the [Separately Serviced Mortgage
Loan] Loan Group or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Property under
ARTICLE XII, then each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to such compensation as is provided for in SECTION 12.09, which shall
be in addition to that provided for in this SECTION 3.11.

SECTION 3.12. Property Inspections; Collection of Financial
Statements; Delivery of Certain Reports.
(a) The Special Servicer shall perform or cause to be

Serviced Mortgage Loan has become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the
Special Servicer shall continue to perform or cause to be performed a physical
inspection of the subject Mortgaged Property at least once per calendar year
thereafter for so long as the related Serviced Mortgage Loan remains a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or if such Mortgaged Property becomes an Administered REO
Property); PROVIDED that the Special Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement
of the reasonable and direct out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection
with each such inspection as Servicing Advances and otherwise as contemplated by
SECTION 3.05(A). Beginning in ____, the Master Servicer, at its own expense,
shall perform or cause to be performed an inspection of each Mortgaged Property
(other than the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Mortgaged Property) at least
once every calendar year, in any event if the Special Servicer has not already
done so during that period pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each prepare (and, promptly following
preparation, if there has been a material adverse change in the condition of the
subject Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as applicable, deliver to the
Controlling Class Representative) a written report of each such inspection
performed by it or on its behalf that sets forth in detail the condition of the
Mortgaged Property and that specifies the occurrence or existence of: (i) any
sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable, is aware, (ii) any change in the condition,
occupancy or value of the Mortgaged Property of which the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, is aware and that it considers, in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, material, or (iii) any waste committed on the
Mortgaged Property of which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, is aware and that it considers, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, material. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each
deliver to the other such party, to the Controlling Class Representative and,
upon request, to the Trustee a copy (or image in suitable electronic media) of
each such written report prepared by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, in each case within 30 days following the later of
completion of the related inspection if the inspection is performed by the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as appropriate, or receipt of the related
inspection report if the inspection is performed by a third party.
(b) Commencing with respect to the calendar quarter ended
__________, ____, the Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of each Performing Serviced
Mortgage Loan, shall make reasonable efforts to collect promptly from each
related Borrower quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent
rolls of the related Mortgaged Property, and quarterly and annual financial
statements of such Borrower, whether or not delivery of such items is required
pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents. In addition, the
Special Servicer shall cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets
and rent rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of each Administered REO
Property and shall collect all such items promptly following their preparation.
The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy or images in suitable electronic media

second preceding sentence to the Controlling Class Representative and, upon
request, the Trustee.
The Master Servicer shall maintain a CMSA Operating Statement

otherwise, as to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, and within 30 days after
receipt by the Master Servicer from the Special Servicer, the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer, the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
Special Servicer or otherwise, as to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan], a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an REO Property, of any quarterly and annual
operating statements or rent rolls with respect to any Mortgaged Property or REO
Property, the Master Servicer shall, based upon such operating statements or
rent rolls, prepare (or, if previously prepared, update) the CMSA Operating
Statement Analysis Report for the subject Mortgaged Property or REO Property.
The Master Servicer shall remit a copy of each CMSA Operating Statement Analysis

Within 60 days (or, in the case of items received from the
Special Servicer, the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer, the

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the

pursuant to SECTION 3.12(D) is dependent on information from the Special
Servicer (or, in the case of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Property, from a party under a
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement), and the Special
Servicer (or, if applicable, such party under such [Separately Serviced Mortgage

Servicer shall not be in breach hereunder for so providing an incomplete report
under SECTION 3.12(D) under the foregoing circumstances. Furthermore, if any
report to be provided to the Trustee and/or the Controlling Class Representative
by the Master Servicer pursuant to SECTION 3.12(D) was to be prepared by the
Special Servicer (or, in the case of the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or
any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Property, by a party under a
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement) and delivered to the
Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall not be in breach by reason of any
delay in its delivery of such report to the Trustee and/or the Controlling Class
Representative, as applicable, by reason of a delay on the part of the Special
Servicer (or, if applicable, on the part of such party under such [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement) to deliver such report to the
Master Servicer; and the Master Servicer shall deliver as promptly as reasonably
practicable to the Trustee and/or the Controlling Class Representative, as
applicable, any such report that it receives from the Special Servicer (or, if
applicable, from such party under such [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
Servicing Agreement) after the requisite delivery date.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise
required to be disclosed by this SECTION 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of
this SECTION 3.12 to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so
fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or
any provision of a Mortgage Loan Document prohibiting disclosure of information
with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties or would constitute a
waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust. The Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer may each disclose any such information or any
additional information to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent
with applicable law and the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer may each affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer
it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability
on the part of any other party hereto).
(g) The Depositor shall provide (or, pursuant to the
respective Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements shall obligate the Mortgage Loan
Sellers to provide) to the Master Servicer the initial data (as of the Cut-off
Date or the most recent earlier date for which such data is available) necessary
to complete the CMSA Loan Set-up File, the CMSA Loan Periodic Update File, the
CMSA Operating Statement Analysis Report and the CMSA Property File.
(h) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required
to deliver any statement, report or information under any provision of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may
satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such
statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or
information in a commonly used electronic format or (z) making such statement,
report or information available on the Master Servicer's Internet Website or the
Trustee's Internet Website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a
particular method of delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may
request delivery in paper or electronic format of any statement, report or
information required to be delivered to the Trustee, and CLAUSE (Z) shall not
apply to the delivery of any information required to be delivered to the Trustee
unless the Trustee consents to such delivery. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any portion of the CMSA Investor
Reporting Package is not timely delivered in electronic format to the Trustee,
then the Trustee shall not be in default of its obligations under SECTION 4.02
of this Agreement so long as it is undertaking commercially reasonable efforts
to perform such obligations.
-144-
SECTION 3.13. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Controlling
Class Representative, on or before May 1 of each year, beginning in ____, an
Officer's Certificate (the "ANNUAL PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATION") stating, as to
the signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, during the preceding calendar year
and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's
supervision, (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has fulfilled
all of 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), and (iii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, has received no notice regarding the qualification, or
challenging the status, of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC or either Grantor Trust
Pool as a Grantor Trust from the IRS or any other governmental agency or body
(or, if it has received any such notice, specifying the details thereof);
PROVIDED that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be
required to deliver its Annual Performance Certification by March 15 in ____ or
in any given year thereafter if, in the case of any year subsequent to ____, it
has received written confirmation from the Trustee or the Depositor by January
31 of that year that a Report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in respect of
the Trust for the preceding calendar year.
SECTION 3.14. Reports by Independent Public Accountants.
On or before May 1 of each year, beginning in ____, each of
the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of
independent public accountants that is a member of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement (the "ANNUAL ACCOUNTANTS'
REPORT") to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Controlling
Class Representative, to the effect that such firm has examined the servicing
operations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
for the previous calendar year and that, on the basis of such examination,
conducted substantially in compliance with USAP, such firm confirms that the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has complied during
such previous calendar year with the minimum servicing standards (to the extent
applicable to commercial and multifamily mortgage loans) identified in USAP in
all material respects, except for such significant exceptions or errors in
records that, in the opinion of such firm, USAP requires it to report; PROVIDED
that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be required to
cause the delivery of its Annual Accountants' Report by March 15 in ____ or in
any given year thereafter if, in the case of any year subsequent to ____, it has
received written confirmation from the Trustee or the Depositor by January 31 of
that year that an Annual Report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in respect
of the Trust for the preceding calendar year. In rendering its report such firm
may rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of securitized
commercial and multifamily mortgage loans by sub-servicers, upon comparable
reports of firms of independent certified public accountants rendered on the
basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered
within one year of such report) with respect to those sub-servicers.
Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will
reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in providing any other form of
accountants' reports as may be required by the Commission in connection with the
Commission's issuance of a no-action letter relating to the Depositor's
reporting
-145-
requirements in respect of the Trust pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the
reasonable additional costs of providing such other forms of accountants'
reports shall be borne by the Depositor.
SECTION 3.15. Access to Certain Information.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each
provide or cause to be provided to the other such party, the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative and the Rating Agencies, and to
the OTS, the FDIC and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory
authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder or Certificate
Owner, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and the other
assets of the Trust Fund that are within its control, except to the extent that
(i) such documentation is subject to a claim of privilege under applicable law
that has been asserted by the Certificateholders and of which the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has received written notice or
(ii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is otherwise
prohibited from making such disclosure under applicable law, or may be subject
to liability for making such disclosure in the reasonable opinion of the counsel
for the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, which counsel
may be a salaried employee of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. Such
access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written
request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, designated by it. However, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may charge for any copies
requested by said Persons (other than the Rating Agencies and, to the extent
that the requested number of copies is reasonably limited and the request is not
duplicative, the Controlling Class Representative). The Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer each shall be permitted to affix a reasonable disclaimer to any
information provided by it pursuant to this SECTION 3.15.
(b) Upon the request of the Controlling Class Representative
made not more frequently than once a month (which request may be a standing,
continuing request), or at such mutually acceptable time each month as the
Controlling Class Representative shall reasonably designate, each of the Master
Servicer and Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable
Servicing Officer available, at the option of the Controlling Class
Representative either by telephone or at the office of such Servicing Officer,
to answer questions from the Controlling Class Representative regarding the
performance and servicing of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or the Administered
REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case
may be, is responsible.
SECTION 3.16. Title to Administered REO Property; REO Account.
(a) If title to any Mortgaged Property (other than the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Mortgaged Property) is acquired, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of
the Certificateholders or, subject to SECTION 3.09(B), at the option of the
Special Servicer, to a single member limited liability company of which the
Trust is the sole member, which limited liability company is formed or caused to
be formed by the Special Servicer at the expense of the Trust for the purpose of
taking title to one or more Mortgaged Properties (other than the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] Mortgaged Property) pursuant to this Agreement. Any such
limited liability company formed by the Special Servicer shall be a
manager-managed limited liability company, with the Special Servicer to serve as
the initial manager to manage the property of the limited liability company,
including any Administered REO Property, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement as if such property was held directly in the name of the Trust or
Trustee under this Agreement. The Special
-146-
Servicer shall sell or cause the sale of any Administered REO Property by the
end of the third taxable year following the year in which the Trust acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code,
unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies, more than 60 days prior to the
expiration of such liquidation period, and is granted an extension of time (an
"REO EXTENSION") by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property or
(ii) obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, to
the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property subsequent to the
end of the third taxable year following the year in which such acquisition
occurred, will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of any REMIC Pool as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause
any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding. Regardless of whether the Special Servicer is granted the REO
Extension contemplated by CLAUSE (I) of the immediately preceding sentence or
obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by CLAUSE (II) of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall act in accordance with the
Servicing Standard to liquidate the subject Administered REO Property on a
timely basis. If the Special Servicer is granted such REO Extension or obtains
such Opinion of Counsel with respect to any Administered REO Property, the
Special Servicer shall (i) promptly forward a copy of such REO Extension or
Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, and (ii) sell such REO Property within such
extended period as is permitted by such REO Extension or contemplated by such
Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any reasonable expense incurred by the
Special Servicer in connection with its applying for the REO Extension
contemplated by CLAUSE (I) of the third preceding sentence or its obtaining the
Opinion of Counsel contemplated by CLAUSE (II) of the third preceding sentence,
and for the creation of and the operating of a limited liability company to hold
any Administered REO Property, shall be covered by and reimbursable as a
Servicing Advance. Any REO Extension shall be requested by the Special Servicer
no later than 60 days before the end of the third taxable year following the
year in which the Trust acquired ownership of the subject Administered REO
Property.
(b) The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received by it in connection with any Administered REO Property
separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition
shall occur, then the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (collectively, the "REO ACCOUNT"), to be held on behalf of the Trustee
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders for the retention of revenues
and other proceeds derived from each Administered REO Property. The REO Account
shall be an Eligible Account and may consist of one account for all the
Administered REO Properties. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be
deposited, in the REO Account, within one (1) Business Day of receipt, all REO
Revenues, Liquidation Proceeds (net of all Liquidation Expenses paid therefrom),
Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received by it in respect of an
Administered REO Property. The Special Servicer is authorized to pay out of
related Liquidation Proceeds any Liquidation Expenses incurred in respect of an
Administered REO Property and outstanding at the time such proceeds are
received, as well as any other items that otherwise may be paid by the Master
Servicer out of such Liquidation Proceeds as contemplated by SECTION 3.05(A).
Funds in the REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance
with SECTION 3.06. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to make withdrawals
from the REO Account to pay itself, as Additional Special Servicing
Compensation, interest and investment income earned in respect of amounts held
in the REO Account as provided in SECTION 3.06(B) (but only to the extent of the
Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to the REO Account for any
Collection Period). The Special Servicer shall give notice to the other parties
hereto of the location of the REO Account when first established and of the new
location of the REO Account prior to any change thereof.
-147-
(c) The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account
funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and
disposition of any Administered REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts
on deposit in the REO Account relating to such REO Property. Five (5) Business
Days prior to each Determination Date, and again on the first Business Day
following such Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the
REO Account and deposit into the Collection Account or deliver to the Master
Servicer, which shall deposit such amounts into the Collection Account, the
aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each Administered REO Property
during the Collection Period ending on such Determination Date that are then on
deposit in such REO Account, net of any withdrawals made out of such amounts
pursuant to the preceding sentence; PROVIDED that in the case of each
Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer may retain in the REO Account
such portion of such proceeds and collections as may be necessary to maintain a
reserve of sufficient funds for the proper operation, management, leasing,
maintenance and disposition of such REO Property (including the creation of a
reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, necessary capital improvements and
other related expenses), such reserve not to exceed an amount sufficient to
cover such items reasonably expected to be incurred during the following
twelve-month period.
(d) The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate
records, on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all
deposits to, and withdrawals from, the REO Account pursuant to SECTION 3.16(B)
or 3.16(C).
SECTION 3.17. Management of Administered REO Property.
(a) Prior to the acquisition of title to any Mortgaged
Property securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall
review the operation of such Mortgaged Property and determine the nature of the
income that would be derived from such property if it were acquired by the
Trust. If the Special Servicer determines from such review that:
(i) None of the income from Directly Operating such
Mortgaged Property would be subject to tax as "net income from
foreclosure property" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions or
would be subject to the tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under
Section 860F of the Code (either such tax referred to herein as an "REO
TAX"), then such Mortgaged Property may be Directly Operated by the
Special Servicer as REO Property;
(ii) Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property as an
REO Property could result in income from such property that would be
subject to an REO Tax, but that a lease of such property to another
party to operate such property, or the performance of some services by
an Independent Contractor with respect to such property, or another
method of operating such property would not result in income subject to
an REO Tax, then the Special Servicer may (PROVIDED that in the
reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, it is commercially
reasonable) so lease or operate such REO Property; or
(iii) It would not be commercially reasonable to
operate and manage such property as REO Property without the Trust
incurring or possibly incurring an REO Tax on income from such
property, then the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and
the Controlling Class Representative, in writing, a proposed plan (the
"PROPOSED PLAN") to manage such property as REO Property. Such plan
shall include potential sources of income, and to the
-148-
extent reasonably possible, estimates of the amount of income from each
such source. Within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such
plan, the Trustee shall consult with the Special Servicer and shall
advise the Special Servicer of the Trust's federal income tax reporting
position with respect to the various sources of income that the Trust
would derive under the Proposed Plan. In addition, the Trustee shall
(to the maximum extent reasonably possible and at a reasonable fee)
advise the Special Servicer of the estimated amount of taxes that the
Trust would be required to pay with respect to each such source of
income from such REO Property. After receiving the information
described in the two preceding sentences from the Trustee, the Special
Servicer shall either (A) implement the Proposed Plan (after acquiring
the respective Mortgaged Property as REO Property) or (B) manage and
operate such property in a manner that would not result in the
imposition of an REO Tax on the income derived from such property.
Subject to SECTIONS 3.16(A) and 3.17(B), the Special
Servicer's decision as to how each REO Property shall be managed and operated
shall be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Both the Special Servicer
and the Trustee may consult with counsel knowledgeable in such matters at (to
the extent reasonable) the expense of the Trust in connection with
determinations required under this SECTION 3.17(A) with respect to any
Administered REO Property. Neither the Special Servicer nor the Trustee shall be
liable to the Certificateholders, the Trust, the other parties hereto or each
other for errors in judgment made in good faith in the reasonable exercise of
their discretion or in reasonable and good faith reliance on the advice of
knowledgeable counsel while performing their respective responsibilities under
this SECTION 3.17(A) or, to the extent it relates to federal income tax
consequences for the Trust, SECTION 3.17(B) below. Nothing in this SECTION
3.17(A) is intended to prevent the sale of an Administered REO Property pursuant
to the terms and subject to the conditions of SECTION 3.18(D).
(b) If title to any Mortgaged Property (other than
the[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Mortgaged Property) is acquired, the
Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such Mortgaged
Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its
prompt disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such Mortgaged
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, except as contemplated by SECTION 3.17(A),
result in the receipt by any REMIC Pool of any "income from non-permitted
assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or in an Adverse
REMIC Event in respect of any REMIC Pool. Except as provided in SECTION 3.17(A),
the Special Servicer shall not enter into any lease, contract or other agreement
with respect to any Administered REO Property that causes any REMIC Pool to
receive, and (unless required to do so under any lease, contract or agreement to
which the Special Servicer or the Trust may become a party or successor to a
party due to a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other similar
exercise of a creditor's rights or remedies with respect to a Serviced Mortgage
Loan) shall not cause or allow any REMIC Pool to receive any "net income from
foreclosure property" with respect to any Administered REO Property that is
subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Subject to the foregoing,
SECTION 3.16(A) and SECTION 3.17(A), however, the Special Servicer shall have
full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with the
administration of any Administered REO Property as are consistent with the
Servicing Standard and, consistent therewith, shall withdraw from the REO
Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO
Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, maintenance and
disposition of such REO Property, including:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such
REO Property;
-149-
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such
REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
(iii) any ground rents in respect of such REO Property; and
(iv) all other costs and expenses necessary to maintain,
lease, sell, protect, manage, operate and restore such REO Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any
Administered REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in the
preceding sentence with respect to such REO Property, the Special Servicer shall
(in accordance with SECTION 3.19(B)) direct the Master Servicer to make (and the
Master Servicer shall so make), Servicing Advances in such amounts as are
necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced in the manner contemplated by
SECTION 3.11(H)) the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer determines, in its
reasonable judgment, that such payment would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance.
(c) The Special Servicer may (and, except as otherwise
permitted by SECTION 3.17(A), shall if it would avoid an Adverse REMIC Event)
contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any
Administered REO Property, PROVIDED that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be
inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm's
length;
(ii) the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be
expenses of the Trust) shall be reasonable and customary in
consideration of the nature and locality of such REO Property;
(iii) any such contract shall be consistent with the
provisions of Treasury regulation section 1.856-4(b)(5) and, to the
extent consistent therewith, shall be administered to require that the
Independent Contractor, in a timely manner, (A) to the extent of
available revenue from such REO Property, pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property, including those listed in SECTION 3.17(B) above, and (B)
remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs
and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;
(iv) none of the provisions of this SECTION 3.17(C) relating
to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of
its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and
management of any such REO Property; and
(v) the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect
thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties
and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such
REO Property, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the Servicing
Standard in monitoring such Independent Contractor.
The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any
Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of the
-150-
Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
SECTION 3.18. Fair Value Option; Sale of Administered REO
Properties.
(a) The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the
sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property only on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this SECTION 3.18 or as
otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by SECTION 2.03, SECTION 9.01
and/or the related Mortgage Loan Documents (including, in the case of the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan], the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
Intercreditor Agreements).
(b) If any Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially
Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan, then the Special Servicer shall promptly so
notify in writing the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative and the
Master Servicer, and shall concurrently, or as soon as reasonably practical
(and, in any event, within 30 days) thereafter, make a Fair Value Determination
with respect to such Mortgage Loan based on the most recent Appraisal in respect
of the related Mortgaged Property then in the Special Servicer's possession,
together with such other third-party reports and other information then in the
Special Servicer's possession that the Special Servicer reasonably believes to
be relevant to the Special Servicer's Fair Value Determination with respect to
such Mortgage Loan, including information regarding any change in circumstances
regarding the related Mortgaged Property known to the Special Servicer that has
occurred subsequent to, and that would materially affect the value of the
related Mortgaged Property reflected in, the most recent Appraisal of the
related Mortgaged Property in the related Servicing File; PROVIDED that, if the
Special Servicer is then in the process of obtaining a new Appraisal with
respect to the related Mortgaged Property pursuant to SECTION 3.19(C), then the
Special Servicer shall make its Fair Value Determination with respect to such
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard as soon as reasonably
practicable (but in any event within 30 days) after the Special Servicer's
receipt of such new Appraisal. In determining the Fair Value of any Specially
Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into
account, among other factors, the period and amount of the delinquency on such
Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related
Mortgaged Property, the state of the local economy and the commercial real
estate market in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located, and
the time and expense associated with and the expected recovery from a
purchaser's foreclosing on the related Mortgaged Property or working out such
Mortgage Loan, but shall ignore the purchase option provided for in SECTION
3.18(c). In addition, the Special Servicer shall refer to all relevant
information contained in the Servicing File, including the most recent Appraisal
obtained or conducted with respect to the related Mortgaged Property in the
preceding 12-month period in accordance with this Agreement, and shall not
determine the Fair Value of any Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan
without such an Appraisal; PROVIDED that the Special Servicer shall take account
of any change in circumstances regarding the related Mortgaged Property known to
the Special Servicer that has occurred subsequent to, and that would, in the
Special Servicer's reasonable judgment, materially affect the value of the
related Mortgaged Property reflected in, such Appraisal. Furthermore, the
Special Servicer shall consider available objective third-party information
obtained from generally available sources, as well as information obtained from
vendors providing real estate services to the Special Servicer, concerning the
market for distressed real estate loans and the real estate market for the
subject property type in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is
located. The Special Servicer may, to the extent it is reasonable to do so in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, conclusively rely on any opinions or
reports of qualified Independent experts in real estate or commercial mortgage
loan matters with at least
-151-
five years' experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject
Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan, selected with reasonable care by
the Special Servicer, in making such determination. All reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to this SECTION 3.18(B) shall
constitute, and be reimbursable as, Servicing Advances. The other parties to
this Agreement shall cooperate with all reasonable requests for information made
by the Special Servicer in order to allow the Special Servicer to perform its
duties pursuant to this SECTION 3.18(B).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Special
Servicer or any Affiliate of the Special Servicer exercises the purchase option
described in SECTION 3.18(C) with respect to any Specially Designated Defaulted
Mortgage Loan, including as a Controlling Class Certificateholder or as the
assignee of another option holder, then the Master Servicer will be required to
confirm that the Special Servicer's Fair Value Determination of such Specially
Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan is no less than the amount that the Master
Servicer considers to be the fair value of such Specially Designated Defaulted
Mortgage Loan (such confirmation to be made within 10 days (or, if an
Independent expert is to be retained as contemplated below, 20 days) after
receipt of the Special Servicer's Fair Value Determination, together with the
Appraisal and other information contemplated in the next sentence); PROVIDED
that, if the Master Servicer is also acting as, or is an Affiliate of, the
Special Servicer, then the Trustee, instead of the Master Servicer, shall so
confirm the Special Servicer's Fair Value Determination. In such event, the
Special Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Master Servicer or the Trustee,
as applicable in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the most recent
Appraisal in respect of the related Mortgaged Property then in the Special
Servicer's possession, together with such other third-party reports (including
any determination of an Independent real estate expert) and other information
then in the Special Servicer's possession that the Master Servicer or Trustee
reasonably believes to be relevant to the Master Servicer's or Trustee's, as the
case may be, confirmation of the Special Servicer's Fair Value Determination
with respect to such Mortgage Loan, including information regarding any change
in circumstances regarding the related Mortgaged Property known to the Special
Servicer that has occurred subsequent to, and that would materially affect the
value of the related Mortgaged Property reflected in, the most recent Appraisal
of the related Mortgaged Property in the related Servicing File. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and if the Special Servicer has not already done so, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may (at its option) designate a
qualified Independent expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters
with at least five years' experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to
the subject Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan, selected with
reasonable care by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, to
confirm that the Special Servicer's Fair Value Determination is consistent with
or greater than what the Independent expert considers to be the fair value of
such Mortgage Loan. If the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer
designates such an Independent expert to make such determination in accordance
with this paragraph, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as the case may be, shall
be entitled to rely upon such Independent expert's determination. The reasonable
costs of all third party opinions of value and any appraisals and inspection
reports incurred by the Master Servicer or Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant
to this paragraph shall be advanced by the Master Servicer or Trustee, as the
case may be, and shall constitute, and be reimbursable as, Servicing Advances.
In addition, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to receive out of the Collection Account a $__________ fee for the
initial confirmation of the Special Servicer's Fair Value Determination (but no
fee for any subsequent confirmation of the Special Servicer's Fair Value
Determination required by SECTION 3.18(C)(VI) below) that is made by it with
respect to any Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan, in accordance with
this SECTION 3.18(B).
-152-
(c) Promptly following its determination of the Fair Value of
any Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan in accordance with SECTION
3.18(B), the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the
Trustee an Officer's Certificate setting forth such Fair Value Determination.
Within five Business Days of the Special Servicer's providing the Trustee with
the Special Servicer's determination of the Fair Value of any Specially
Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan in accordance with SECTION 3.18(B), the
Trustee shall promptly notify all of the Controlling Class Certificateholders of
such Fair Value Determination. Upon being informed of the Special Servicer's
initial Fair Value Determination with respect to any Specially Designated
Defaulted Mortgage Loan, any single Holder or group of Holders of Certificates
representing a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to the Controlling Class
may, at its or their option, purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust, at a
cash price equal to the Special Servicer's determination of Fair Value for such
Mortgage Loan; PROVIDED that:
(i) the foregoing purchase option will last only
until the earliest of (A) the date on which such Mortgage Loan becomes
a Corrected Serviced Mortgage Loan or otherwise ceases to be at least
60 days' delinquent, (B) the date on which a Liquidation Event occurs
with respect to such Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property
becomes an REO Property, and (C) the second anniversary of the date on
which such Mortgage Loan first became a Specially Designated Defaulted
Mortgage Loan (the period during which any Specially Designated
Defaulted Mortgage Loan is eligible for purchase pursuant to this
SECTION 3.18(C) is herein referred to as the "PURCHASE OPTION PERIOD"
for such Mortgage Loan);
(ii) any single Holder or group of Holders of
Certificates representing a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to
the Controlling Class may assign the foregoing option to any third
party;
(iii) if the foregoing purchase option has not been
exercised by any single Holder or group of Holders of Certificates
representing a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to the
Controlling Class or any assignee thereof by the 60th day of the
applicable Purchase Option Period, then the foregoing purchase option
shall automatically be assigned, for a 30-day period only, to the
Special Servicer;
(iv) at any time during the 30-day period referred to
in the immediately preceding CLAUSE (III), the Special Servicer may
exercise the foregoing purchase option or, for the remainder of such
30-day period, may assign the foregoing purchase option to any third
party;
(v) if the foregoing purchase option has not been
exercised by the Special Servicer or any assignee thereof during the
30-day period referred to in the immediately preceding CLAUSES (III)
and (IV), then the foregoing purchase option shall automatically revert
to the Holder or group of Holders of Certificates representing a
majority of the Voting Rights allocated to the Controlling Class, who
will again have the option of assigning the foregoing purchase option
to any third party;
(vi) if any single Holder or group of Holders of
Certificates representing a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to
the Controlling Class or any assignee thereof desires to exercise the
foregoing purchase option more than three months after the Special
Servicer's most recent Fair Value Determination with respect to the
subject Specially Designated Defaulted
-153-
Mortgage Loan, then the Special Servicer shall, in accordance with
SECTION 3.18(B), redetermine (and the Master Servicer or Trustee, as
applicable, shall, in accordance with SECTION 3.18(B), if necessary,
reconfirm the Special Servicer's determination of) the Fair Value of
the subject Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan, which
redetermined (and, if necessary, reconfirmed) Fair Value shall
thereafter become the new price for the foregoing purchase option; and
(vii) if, and for so long as, the Depositor and/or
its Affiliates and agents, or any Mortgage Loan Seller and/or its
Affiliates and agents, shall at any time be the Majority Controlling
Class Certificateholder(s), then the Depositor or such Mortgage Loan
Seller may, solely as to itself and its Affiliates and agents, waive
the right to exercise the foregoing purchase option as to any
particular Serviced Mortgage Loan by delivering written notice to that
effect to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer at
any time prior to, or within 15 days following, such Mortgage Loan's
becoming a Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan (it being
understood and agreed that such waiver shall be made on a loan-by-loan
basis, shall not affect the right of the Depositor and/or its
Affiliates and agents, or such Mortgage Loan Seller and/or its
Affiliates and agents, as the case may be, to assign the foregoing
purchase option with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan to an
independent third party and shall remain in effect only until the
Depositor and/or its Affiliates and agents, or such Mortgage Loan
Seller and/or its Affiliates and agents, as the case may be, are no
longer the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder(s).
Exercise of the purchase option in respect of any Specially
Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan in accordance with this SECTION 3.18(C) shall
be effected by giving written notice to that effect to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and, unless it is the party exercising such purchase option, the
Special Servicer. The price payable for any Specially Designated Defaulted
Mortgage Loan purchased under this SECTION 3.18(C) must be delivered to the
Master Servicer within 15 days of the prospective purchaser's delivery of such
notice (or, if later, within 15 days of the determination and, if necessary,
confirmation of, any updated Fair Value of such Specially Designated Defaulted
Mortgage Loan in accordance with SECTION 3.18(C)(VI) above) or such exercise of
the purchase option for such Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall
be void. The Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust in taking all
actions necessary and appropriate in connection with the sale of any Specially
Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this SECTION 3.18(C) and the
collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. The price payable for
any Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan purchased under this SECTION
3.18(C) shall be deposited into the Collection Account. Upon its receipt of an
Officer's Certificate from the Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit
has been made, the Trustee shall release or cause to be released to or at the
direction of the purchaser, the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee or the
Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall
be provided to it by the purchaser and are reasonably necessary to vest in the
purchaser or any designee thereof the ownership of such Mortgage Loan. In
connection with any such purchase by any Person other than it, the Special
Servicer shall deliver the related Servicing File to or at the direction of the
purchaser. Any sale of a Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this SECTION 3.18(C) shall be on a servicing released basis.
Nothing in this SECTION 3.18(C) is intended to prevent, impair
or delay the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer from taking any action
permitted to be taken thereby with respect to any
-154-
Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant to, and the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall proceed concurrently with respect to a
Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan (without regard to this SECTION
3.18(C)) in accordance with, SECTION 3.09 and/or SECTION 3.20.
(d) The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts,
consistent with the Servicing Standard, to solicit bids for each Administered
REO Property in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price
(determined pursuant to SECTION 3.18(E) below) as soon as reasonably practicable
(in light of the use and location of such REO Property) and, in any event,
within the time period provided for by SECTION 3.16(A). Subject to SECTION 3.24
hereof, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple bids are
received by a specified bid date, the highest) cash bid received from any Person
that constitutes a fair price (determined pursuant to SECTION 3.18(E) below) for
any Administered REO Property; PROVIDED that, if the Special Servicer receives
more than two bids from Independent third parties, it may also submit a bid. If
the Special Servicer reasonably believes that it will be unable to realize a
fair price (determined pursuant to SECTION 3.18(E) below) for any Administered
REO Property within the time constraints imposed by SECTION 3.16(A), then the
Special Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, dispose of such
REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer shall deem
necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the
circumstances. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit a bid to
purchase any Administered REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its
Affiliates and agents may bid for or purchase any Administered REO Property
pursuant hereto.
The Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust in
negotiating with independent third parties and taking any other action necessary
or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Administered REO Property, and
the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection
therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective bidders, and may retain,
fees that approximate the Special Servicer's actual costs in the preparation and
delivery of information pertaining to such sales or evaluating bids without
obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or the REO
Account. Any sale of any Administered REO Property shall be final and without
recourse (except for warranties of title and condition) to the Trustee or the
Trust, and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, neither the Special Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability
to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by
the Special Servicer or the Trustee.
(e) Whether any cash bid constitutes a fair price for any
Administered REO Property for purposes of SECTION 3.18(D) shall be determined by
the Special Servicer (or, if such cash bid is from the Special Servicer or an
Affiliate thereof, by the Master Servicer (or, if the Master Servicer or an
Affiliate thereof is also bidding, by the Trustee)). In determining whether any
bid received from the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof represents a fair
price for any Administered REO Property, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as
applicable, shall be supplied with and shall be entitled to rely on the most
recent Appraisal with respect to such REO Property obtained or conducted in
accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 12-month period (or, in the
absence of any such Appraisal or if there has been a material change at the
subject property since any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal to be obtained by
the Special Servicer (the cost of which shall be covered by, and be reimbursable
as, a Servicing Advance)). The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall
be a Qualified Appraiser that is (i) selected by the Special Servicer if neither
the Special Servicer nor any Affiliate thereof is bidding with respect to an
Administered REO Property and (ii) selected by the Master Servicer (or, if the
-155-
Master Servicer or an Affiliate thereof is also bidding, by the Trustee) if
either the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is so bidding. Where any
Interested Person is among those bidding with respect to an Administered REO
Property, the Special Servicer shall require that all bids be submitted to it
(or, if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof is bidding, shall be
submitted by it to the Master Servicer (or, if the Master Servicer or an
Affiliate thereof is also bidding, to the Trustee)) in writing and be
accompanied by a refundable deposit of cash in an amount equal to __% of the bid
amount. In determining whether any bid from a Person other than the Special
Servicer or an Affiliate thereof constitutes a fair price for any Administered
REO Property, the Special Servicer shall take into account the results of any
Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it or the Master Servicer may have obtained
in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 12-month period, and any
Qualified Appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable,
among other factors, the occupancy level and physical condition of the subject
REO Property, the state of the local economy and commercial real estate market
in the area where the subject REO Property is located and the obligation to
dispose of the subject REO Property within the time period specified in SECTION
3.16(A). The Purchase Price for any Administered REO Property shall in all cases
be deemed a fair price. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this SECTION
3.18(E), no cash bid from the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall
constitute a fair price for any Administered REO Property unless such bid is the
highest cash bid received and at least two independent bids (not including the
bid of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof) have been received. Any
bid by the Special Servicer shall be unconditional; and, if accepted, the
subject REO Property shall be transferred to the Special Servicer without
recourse, representation or warranty other than customary representations as to
title given in connection with the sale of real property.
(f) Any sale of a Specially Designated Defaulted Mortgage Loan
or any REO Property shall be for cash only.
(g) The parties hereto acknowledge the right of the holder of
the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Subordinate Companion Loan to purchase
the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] as and when provided in the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] A/B Intercreditor Agreement.
SECTION 3.19. Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each
Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor, a
cash payment (a "COMPENSATING INTEREST Payment") in an amount equal to the sum
of :
(i) the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with Principal
Prepayments received (including, in the case of the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan], by the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
Master Servicer or the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Special
Servicer on behalf of the Trust) during the most recently ended
Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and (B) the
aggregate of (1) that portion of the Master Servicer's Master Servicing
Fees for the most recently ended Collection Period that is, in the case
of each and every Mortgage Loan and REO Loan for which such Master
Servicing Fees are being paid in such Collection Period, calculated at
___% per annum, (2) all Prepayment Interest Excesses received by the
Master Servicer during
-156-
the most recently ended Collection Period and (3) all Net Investment
Earnings earned on such Principal Prepayments; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
if such a Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs as a result of the
Master Servicer's allowing the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage
Loan to deviate from the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents
regarding Principal Prepayments (other than (S) subsequent to a
material default under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, (T)
pursuant to applicable law or a court order, or (U) at the request or
with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative), then, for
purposes of calculating the Compensating Interest Payment for the
subject Collection Period, the rate referred to in CLAUSE (B)(1) above
shall be ___% per annum (except as to the Mortgage Loans that are, as
of the Closing Date, Primary Serviced Mortgage Loans, for which it
shall in each case be ___% per annum); and
(ii) the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with Insurance
Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds received (including, in the case of
the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan], by the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer or the [Separately Serviced Mortgage
Loan] Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust) during the most recently
ended Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and (B) all
Net Investment Earnings earned on the portion of such Insurance
Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds that represents an early recovery of
principal.
The rights of the Certificateholders to offset the aggregate
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls shall not be cumulative from Collection Period to
Collection Period.
(b) No later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the first
Determination Date that follows the date on which the Special Servicer makes any
Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer an
Officer's Certificate (via facsimile) setting forth the details of the Servicing
Advance upon which the Master Servicer shall conclusively rely in reimbursing
the Special Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of the Master
Servicer's own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any unreimbursed
Servicing Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) made by the
Special Servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
Administered REO Property, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement
Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Any
such reimbursement, together with any accompanying payment of interest, shall be
made by the Master Servicer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
an account designated by the Special Servicer, no later than the first Master
Servicer Remittance Date that is at least three (3) Business Days after the date
on which the Master Servicer receives the corresponding Officer's Certificate
contemplated by the prior sentence; PROVIDED that any such Officer's Certificate
received after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any particular date shall, for
purposes of any such reimbursement, be deemed received on the next succeeding
Business Day. Upon the Master Servicer's reimbursement to the Special Servicer
of any Servicing Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of interest
thereon, all in accordance with this SECTION 3.19(b), the Master Servicer shall
for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance
at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Servicing Advance,
and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such
Servicing Advance, together with interest thereon in accordance with SECTIONS
3.05(A) and 3.11(G), at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent
as the Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually
made such Servicing Advance at the time the Special Servicer did.
-157-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any
other Section of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master
Servicer whenever a Servicing Advance is required to be made with respect to any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, and the Master
Servicer shall thereupon make such Servicing Advance; PROVIDED that the Special
Servicer may make any Servicing Advance on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
Administered REO Property only as may be required on an urgent or emergency
basis. Each such notice and request shall be made, in writing, in a timely
manner that does not adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder
(and, in any event, to the extent reasonably practicable, at least five Business
Days in advance of the date on which the subject Servicing Advance is to be
made) and shall be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding
the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such
a request (other than for emergency Servicing Advances) more frequently than
once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one
Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any
such Servicing Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) that it
is so requested by the Special Servicer to make, within five Business Days of
the Master Servicer's receipt of such request. If the request is timely and
properly made, the Special Servicer shall be relieved of any obligations with
respect to a Servicing Advance that it so requests the Master Servicer to make
with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO
Property (regardless of whether or not the Master Servicer shall make such
Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for
any Servicing Advance made by it at the direction of the Special Servicer,
together with Advance Interest in accordance with SECTIONS 3.05(A) and 3.11(G),
at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master
Servicer is entitled with respect to any other Servicing Advances made thereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this SECTION
3.19(B), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special
Servicer for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing
Advance if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such
Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.
The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such
determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be
reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to SECTION 3.05(A).
(c) Promptly following the occurrence of an Appraisal Trigger
Event with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall
obtain (or, if such Mortgage Loan has a Stated Principal Balance of $2,000,000
or less, at the Special Servicer's option, conduct) an Appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property, unless an Appraisal thereof had previously been obtained
(or, if applicable, conducted) within the preceding 12-month period and there
has been no subsequent material change in the circumstances surrounding the
related Mortgaged Property that, in the judgment of the Special Servicer, would
materially affect the value of the property, and shall deliver a copy of such
Appraisal to the Master Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative and, upon
request, the Trustee. If such Appraisal is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser,
the cost thereof shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing
Advance. Promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such Appraisal, the
Special Servicer, in consultation with the Controlling Class Representative,
shall determine and report to the Trustee and the Master Servicer the then
applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject
Required Appraisal Loan.
-158-
For so long as any Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Loan that
relates to an Administered REO Property remains a Required Appraisal Loan, the
Special Servicer shall, within 30 days of each anniversary of such loan's having
become a Required Appraisal Loan, obtain (or, if such Required Appraisal Loan
has a Stated Principal Balance of $2,000,000 or less, at the Special Servicer's
option, conduct) an update of the prior Appraisal. If such update is obtained
from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost thereof shall be covered by, and be
reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. Promptly following the receipt of, and
based upon, such update, the Special Servicer shall redetermine, in consultation
with the Controlling Class Representative, and report to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer the then applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with
respect to the subject Required Appraisal Loan.
The Controlling Class Representative shall have the right at
any time within six months of the date of the receipt of any Appraisal to
require that the Special Servicer obtain a new Appraisal of the subject
Mortgaged Property in accordance with MAI standards, at the expense of the
Controlling Class Certificateholders, and upon receipt of such Appraisal the
Special Servicer shall redetermine the Appraisal Reduction Amount.
The Trustee shall disclose the existence of an Appraisal
Reduction Amount with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan on the Statement
to Certificateholders.
(d) The Master Servicer shall not be required to pay without
reimbursement the fees charged by any Rating Agency for a (i) confirmation as to
the lack of an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated
Certificates or (ii) in connection with any other particular matter, unless the
Master Servicer has failed to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard
to collect such fees from the Borrower, which shall include, if it has the right
to do so under the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents, conditioning its consent
or approval on such payment by the related Borrower unless such condition would
be a violation of applicable law or the Servicing Standard.
(e) In connection with each prepayment of principal received
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall calculate any applicable Prepayment Premium
payable under the terms of the related Mortgage Note or loan agreement. Upon
written request of any Certificateholder, the Master Servicer shall disclose to
such Certificateholder its calculation of any such Prepayment Premium.
(f) The Master Servicer shall not permit defeasance of any
Serviced Mortgage Loan (x) before the earliest date on which defeasance is
permitted under the terms of such Mortgage Loan, or (y) subject to the terms of
such Mortgage Loan, unless (i) the defeasance collateral consists of government
securities (as defined in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act), (ii)
the Master Servicer has determined that the defeasance will not result in an
Adverse REMIC Event in respect of any REMIC Pool, (iii) the Master Servicer has
notified the Rating Agencies, (iv) the Master Servicer has confirmed that such
defeasance will not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class
of Rated Certificates (PROVIDED that the requirement to obtain such confirmation
will be a precondition to the defeasance only if the Master Servicer is able
under the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law to prevent the
defeasance if such confirmation is not obtained and either (A) the subject
Serviced Mortgage Loan is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by balance or
has a Stated Principal Balance in excess of the lesser of $__________ and 5.0%
of the then aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool or (B) in
the case of all Serviced Mortgage Loans not covered by (A) above, the Master
Servicer is unable to execute and deliver the certification attached hereto as
EXHIBIT M in connection with the subject defeasance), and (v) the Master
Servicer has requested and received from
-159-
the related Borrower (A) an Opinion of Counsel generally to the effect 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 Serviced
Mortgage Loan in full on or before its Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of
a Serviced Mortgage Loan that is an ARD Mortgage Loan, on or before its
Anticipated Repayment Date) and to timely pay each Monthly Payment scheduled to
be due prior thereto but after the defeasance; PROVIDED that, if under the terms
of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the related Borrower delivers cash to
purchase the defeasance collateral rather than the defeasance collateral itself,
the Master Servicer shall purchase the government securities contemplated by the
related Mortgage Loan Documents. Subsequent to the second anniversary of the
Startup Day for the REMIC Pool that holds the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, to
the extent that the Master Servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage
Loan Documents, require defeasance of any Serviced Mortgage Loan in lieu of
accepting a prepayment of principal thereunder, including a prepayment of
principal accompanied by a Prepayment Premium, the Master Servicer shall, to the
extent it is consistent with the Servicing Standard, require such defeasance,
PROVIDED that the conditions set forth in CLAUSES (I) through (V) of the
preceding sentence have been satisfied. The Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer each shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, enforce the
provisions of the Serviced Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder
relating to defeasance and prepayment restrictions; PROVIDED that, if at any
time a court with jurisdiction in the matter shall hold that the related
Borrower may obtain a release of the subject Mortgaged Property but is not
obligated to deliver the full amount of the defeasance collateral contemplated
by the related Mortgage Loan Documents (or cash sufficient to purchase such
defeasance collateral), then the Master Servicer shall (i) if consistent with
such court holding and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, refuse to allow the
defeasance of the Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) if the Master Servicer cannot
so refuse and if the related Borrower has delivered cash to purchase the
defeasance collateral, the Master Servicer shall either (A) buy such defeasance
collateral or (B) prepay the Serviced Mortgage Loan, in either case, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard.
(g) The Master Servicer shall, as to each Serviced Mortgage
Loan which is secured by the interest of the related Borrower under a Ground
Lease as listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, in accordance with the related
Mortgage Loan Documents, promptly (and, in any event, within 45 days) after the
Closing Date notify the related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage
Loan to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that
any notices of default under the related Ground Lease should thereafter be
forwarded to the Master Servicer.
(h) If a Serviced Mortgage Loan provides or allows that the
related Borrower's failure to make any Monthly Payment due thereunder on the
applicable Due Date will not result in an event of default for which such
Mortgage Loan may be accelerated and/or the accrual of Default Charges unless
and until the Master Servicer notifies such Borrower of the failure or the
elapse of a specified number of days following the Master Servicer's delivery of
such notice, then the Master Servicer shall promptly (and in any event within
two Business Days following the applicable Due Date) notify the related Borrower
of such a failure.
(i) The Master Servicer shall maintain at its Primary
Servicing Office and shall, upon reasonable advance written notice, make
available during normal business hours for review by the Trustee, the Depositor,
each Rating Agency, the Controlling Class Representative and, subject to the
succeeding paragraph, any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, or any Person
identified to the Master
-160-
Servicer by any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate or an interest therein, originals and/or copies of
the following items (to the extent such items were prepared by or delivered to
the Master Servicer): (i) the most recent inspection report prepared by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in respect of each Mortgaged Property
pursuant to SECTION 3.12(A); (ii) the most recent quarterly and annual operating
statement and rent roll (together with any new leases entered into by the
related Borrower and received by the Master Servicer) of each related Mortgaged
Property and financial statements of the related Borrower collected by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to SECTION 3.12(B); (iii) any
of the foregoing reports, statements and/or rent rolls which contain information
related to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan], the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] Mortgaged Property and/or the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
Borrower, to the extent such items were received by the Master Servicer from the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer; (iv) all files and reports
comprising the CMSA Investor Reporting Package prepared by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer since the Closing Date pursuant to SECTIONS 3.12 and
4.02; (v) all Sub-Servicing Agreements (including exhibits thereto) entered into
by, or delivered by the Special Servicer to, the Master Servicer that remain in
effect and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto; and (vi) all of the
Servicing Files in its possession; PROVIDED that, if the Master Servicer
reasonably determines that any item of information contained in such Servicing
Files or relating to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] is of a nature that
it should be conveyed to all Certificateholders at the same time, it shall, as
soon as reasonably possible following its receipt of any such item of
information, disclose such item of information to the Trustee as part of the
reports to be delivered to the Trustee by the Master Servicer pursuant to
SECTION 3.12 and/or SECTION 4.02, and until the Trustee has either disclosed
such information to all Certificateholders in a Statement to Certificateholders
or has properly filed such information with the Commission on behalf of the
Trust under the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to withhold
such item of information from any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or
prospective transferee of a Certificate or an interest therein; and PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to make particular items
of information contained in the Servicing File for any Serviced Mortgage Loan
available to any Person if the disclosure of such particular items of
information is expressly prohibited by applicable law or the provisions of any
related Mortgage Loan Documents or if such documentation is subject to claim of
privilege under applicable law that can be asserted by the Master Servicer; and
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that, except in the case of the Rating Agencies and the
Controlling Class Representative, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
recover from any Person reviewing the Servicing Files pursuant to this SECTION
3.19(I) its reasonable "out-of-pocket" expenses incurred in connection with
making the Servicing Files available at its offices to such Person. Except as
set forth in the provisos to the preceding sentence, copies of any and all of
the foregoing items are to be made available by the Master Servicer upon
request; PROVIDED that the Master Servicer shall be permitted to require, except
from the Rating Agencies and the Controlling Class Representative, payment of a
sum sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of
providing such service; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Master Servicer shall be
permitted to require from the Controlling Class Representative payment of a sum
sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing such services
with respect to the items described in CLAUSE (V) of this sentence to the extent
that such request is excessive or duplicative. The Special Servicer shall, as to
each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and Administered REO Property, promptly
deliver to the Master Servicer a copy of each document or instrument added to
the related Servicing File, and the Master Servicer shall in no way be in
default under this SECTION 3.19(I) solely by reason of the Special Servicer's
failure to do so. The Master Servicer shall not be liable for the dissemination
of information in accordance with this SECTION 3.19(I).
-161-
In connection with providing access to or copies of the items
described in the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer may require, (i) in
the case of Certificateholders and Certificate Owners, a written confirmation
executed by the requesting Person, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Master
Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is a Holder or Certificate
Owner of Certificates and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, will
otherwise keep such information confidential (except that such Certificateholder
or Certificate Owner may provide such information to its auditors, legal counsel
and regulators and to any other Person that holds or is contemplating the
purchase of any Certificate or interest therein, PROVIDED that such other Person
has signed and delivered the written confirmation described in this CLAUSE (I)
or in the immediately succeeding CLAUSE (II), as applicable), and (ii) in the
case of a prospective purchaser, written confirmation executed by the requesting
Person, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer, generally to the
effect that such Person is a prospective purchaser of a Certificate or an
interest therein, is requesting the information for use in evaluating a possible
investment in Certificates and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph,
will otherwise keep such information confidential. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or prospective
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner need keep confidential any information
received from the Master Servicer pursuant to this SECTION 3.19(I) that has
previously been filed with the Commission, and the Master Servicer shall not
require either of the certifications contemplated by the preceding sentence in
connection with providing any information pursuant to this SECTION 3.19(I) that
has previously been filed with the Commission.
SECTION 3.20. Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.
(a) The Special Servicer (solely as to any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan) and the Master Servicer (solely as to any Performing Serviced
Mortgage Loan) each may (consistent with the Servicing Standard), agree to any
modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, extend the maturity of, defer
or forgive interest (including Default Interest and Post-ARD Additional
Interest) on and principal of, defer or forgive late payment charges and
Prepayment Premiums on, permit the release, addition or substitution of
collateral securing, and/or permit the release, addition or substitution of the
Borrower on or any guarantor of, any Serviced Mortgage Loan and/or provide
consents with respect to any leasing activity at a Mortgaged Property securing
any Serviced Mortgage Loan; PROVIDED that the Master Servicer's and the Special
Servicer's respective rights to do so shall be subject to SECTIONS 3.08 and 3.24
of this Agreement and, further, to each of the following limitations, conditions
and restrictions:
(i) other than as provided in SECTIONS 2.03(B), 3.02,
3.07, 3.08, 3.20(F) and 3.20(G), the Master Servicer shall not agree to
any modification, waiver, forbearance, or amendment of any term of, or
take any of the other acts referenced in this SECTION 3.20(A) with
respect to, any Serviced Mortgage Loan, that would affect the amount or
timing of any related payment of principal, interest or other amount
payable under such Mortgage Loan or materially impair the security for
such Mortgage Loan, unless the Master Servicer has obtained the consent
of the Special Servicer (it being understood and agreed that (A) the
Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer with (1)
notice of any Borrower request for such modification, waiver or
amendment, (2) the Master Servicer's recommendations and analysis, and
(3) all information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that
the Special Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or
grant any such consent, (B) the Special Servicer shall decide whether
to withhold or grant such consent in accordance with the Servicing
Standard and (C) if any such consent has not been expressly denied
within 10 Business Days (or, in the case of consents relating to
leasing activities at Mortgaged Properties securing [Seller No. 2]
Mortgage
-162-
Loans, three Business Days) of the Special Servicer's receipt from the
Master Servicer of the Master Servicer's recommendations 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 (or, if the Special Servicer did not request any
information, within 10 Business Days (or, in the case of consents
relating to leasing activities at Mortgaged Properties securing [Seller
No. 2] Mortgage Loans, three Business Days) from such notice), such
consent shall be deemed to have been granted);
(ii) other than as provided in SECTIONS 3.02, 3.07,
3.08 and 3.20(F), the Special Servicer shall not agree to (or, in the
case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, consent to the Master
Servicer's agreeing to) any modification, waiver or amendment of any
term of, or take (or, in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage
Loan, consent to the Master Servicer's taking) any of the other acts
referenced in this SECTION 3.20(A) with respect to, any Serviced
Mortgage Loan that would affect the amount or timing of any related
payment of principal, interest or other amount payable thereunder or,
in the Special Servicer's reasonable judgment, would materially impair
the security for such Mortgage Loan, unless a material default on such
Mortgage Loan has occurred or, in the Special Servicer's reasonable
judgment, a default in respect of payment on such Mortgage Loan is
reasonably foreseeable, and such modification, waiver, amendment or
other action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to
Certificateholders (as a collective whole) on a present value basis
(the relevant discounting of anticipated collections that will be
distributable to Certificateholders to be done at the related Net
Mortgage Rate), than would liquidation;
(iii) the Special Servicer shall not extend (or, in
the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, consent to the Master
Servicer's extending) the date on which any Balloon Payment is
scheduled to be due on any Serviced Mortgage Loan to a date beyond the
earliest of (A) the fifth anniversary of such Mortgage Loan's Stated
Maturity Date, (B) two years prior to the Rated Final Distribution
Date, (C) if such Mortgage Loan is secured by a Mortgage solely or
primarily on the related Borrower's leasehold interest in the related
Mortgaged Property (but not by the corresponding fee interest), 20
years (or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, giving
due consideration to the remaining term of the Ground Lease, 10 years)
prior to the end of the then current term of the related Ground Lease
(plus any unilateral options to extend), and (D) if such Mortgage Loan
is covered by an environmental insurance policy, two years prior to the
expiration of the term of such policy unless the Special Servicer shall
have first determined in its reasonable judgment, based upon a Phase I
Environmental Assessment (and any additional environmental testing that
the Special Servicer deems necessary and prudent) conducted by an
Independent Person who regularly conducts Phase I Environmental
Assessments, and at the expense of the Borrower, that there are no
circumstances or conditions present at the related Mortgaged Property
for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or
remediation would be required under any then applicable environmental
laws or regulations;
(iv) neither the Special Servicer nor the Master
Servicer shall make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of
any term of, or take any of the other acts referenced in this SECTION
3.20(A) with respect to, any Serviced Mortgage Loan that would result
in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse
Grantor Trust Event with respect to either Grantor Trust Pool;
-163-
(v) subject to applicable law, the related Mortgage
Loan Documents and the Servicing Standard, neither the Master Servicer
nor the Special Servicer shall permit any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan unless
all related fees and expenses are paid by the Borrower;
(vi) neither the Special Servicer nor the Master
Servicer shall permit (and, in the case of a Performing Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall not consent to the Master
Servicer's permitting) any Borrower to add or substitute any real
estate collateral for any Serviced Mortgage Loan unless the Special
Servicer shall have first (A) determined, in its reasonable judgment,
based upon a Phase I Environmental Assessment (and any additional
environmental testing that the Special Servicer deems necessary and
prudent) conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts
Phase I Environmental Assessments, at the expense of the Borrower, that
such additional or substitute real estate collateral is in compliance
with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that there are
no circumstances or conditions present with respect to such new real
estate collateral relating to the use, management or disposal of any
Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring,
containment, clean-up or remediation would be required under any then
applicable environmental laws or regulations and (B) received written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such addition or substitution
of such real estate collateral will not, in and of itself, result in an
Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates;
and
(vii) neither the Special Servicer nor the Master
Servicer shall release (and, in the case of a Performing Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall not consent to the Master
Servicer's releasing), including in connection with a substitution
contemplated by CLAUSE (VI) above, any real property collateral
securing an outstanding Serviced Mortgage Loan, except as provided in
SECTION 3.09(D) or SECTION 3.20(G), or except in connection with a
permitted defeasance, or except where a Serviced Mortgage Loan (or, in
the case of a Cross-Collateralized Group, where such entire
Cross-Collateralized Group) is satisfied, or except in the case of a
release of real property collateral where (A) the Rating Agencies have
been notified in writing, (B) either (1) such release will not, in the
Special Servicer's reasonable judgment, materially and adversely affect
the net operating income being generated by or the then current
principal use of the related Mortgaged Property, or (2) there is a
corresponding principal pay down of such Mortgage Loan in an amount at
least equal to the appraised value of the collateral to be released (or
substitute real property collateral with an appraised value at least
equal to that of the collateral to be released, is delivered), (C) the
remaining Mortgaged Property (together with any substitute real
property collateral) is, in the Special Servicer's reasonable judgment,
adequate security for the remaining Mortgage Loan and (D) if the real
property collateral that is being released has an appraised value in
excess of $1,500,000, such release would not, in and of itself, result
in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated
Certificates (as confirmed in writing to the Trustee by each Rating
Agency);
PROVIDED that (x) the limitations, conditions and restrictions set forth in
CLAUSES (I) through (VII) above shall not apply to any act or event (including,
without limitation, a release, substitution or addition of collateral) in
respect of any Serviced Mortgage Loan that either occurs automatically by its
terms, or results from the exercise of a unilateral option by the related
Borrower within the meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.1001-3(c)(2)(iii),
in any event under the terms of such Mortgage Loan in effect on the Closing
Date, (y) notwithstanding CLAUSES (I) through (VII) above, neither the Master
Servicer nor the
-164-
Special Servicer shall be required to oppose the confirmation of a plan in any
bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving a Borrower, if in its reasonable
judgment, such opposition would not ultimately prevent the confirmation of such
plan or one substantially similar, and (z) notwithstanding CLAUSE (VII) above,
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain
any confirmation of the Certificate ratings from the Rating Agencies in order to
grant easements or rights of way that do not materially affect the use or value
of a Mortgaged Property or the Borrower's ability to make any payments with
respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(b) Neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall
have any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or any other Person if
the Special Servicer's analysis and determination that the modification, waiver,
amendment or other action contemplated by SECTION 3.20(A) is reasonably likely
to produce a greater recovery to Certificateholders (as collective whole) on a
present value basis than would liquidation, should prove to be wrong or
incorrect, so long as the analysis and determination were made on a reasonable
basis by the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, and the
Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, has acted
reasonably and complied with the Servicing Standard in ascertaining the
pertinent facts. Each such determination shall be evidenced by a statement to
such effect in the Officer's Certificate contemplated by SECTION 3.20(E) to be
delivered by the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable.
(c) Any payment of interest, which is deferred pursuant to
SECTION 3.20(A), shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions
and reporting information to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid
principal balance or Stated Principal Balance of the related Serviced Mortgage
Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit or that
such interest may actually be capitalized; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this sentence
shall not limit the rights of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on
behalf of the Trust to enforce any obligations of the related Borrower under
such Mortgage Loan.
(d) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may, as
a condition to its granting any request by a Borrower for consent, modification,
waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is
within the discretion of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and is
permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such Borrower pay to it a
reasonable or customary fee (which shall in no event exceed 1.0% of the unpaid
principal balance of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan) for the additional
services performed in connection with such request, together with any related
costs and expenses incurred by it. All such fees collected by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer shall constitute Additional Special Servicing
Compensation or Additional Master Servicing Compensation, as applicable, as
provided in SECTION 3.11.
(e) All modifications, amendments, material waivers and other
material actions entered into or taken in respect of the Serviced Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this SECTION 3.20 (other than waivers of Default Charges), and all
consents, shall be in writing. The Master Servicer (in the case of a Performing
Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall notify the other such party, each Rating Agency,
the Trustee and the Controlling Class Representative, in writing, of any
modification, waiver, amendment or other action entered into or taken thereby in
respect of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this SECTION 3.20 (other than waivers
of Default Charges) and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Trustee for
deposit in the related Mortgage File (with a copy to the other such party), an
original counterpart of the agreement relating to
-165-
such modification, waiver, amendment or other action, promptly (and in any event
within ten Business Days) following the execution thereof. In addition,
following the execution of any modification, waiver or amendment agreed to by
the Master Servicer (in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the
Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) pursuant to
SECTION 3.20(A) above, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, shall deliver to the other such party, the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies an Officer's Certificate describing such modification, waiver or
amendment, certifying that all of the requirements of SECTION 3.20(A) have been
met and, in the case of the Special Servicer, setting forth in reasonable detail
the basis of the determination made by it pursuant to SECTION 3.20(A)(II);
PROVIDED that, if such modification, waiver or amendment involves an extension
of the maturity of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, such Officer's Certificate shall
be delivered to the other such party, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies before
the modification, waiver or amendment is agreed to.
(f) With respect to any ARD Mortgage Loan that is a Performing
Serviced Mortgage Loan, after its Anticipated Repayment Date, the Master
Servicer shall be permitted, with the consent of the Special Servicer (which
consent shall be granted or withheld in a manner consistent with the Servicing
Standard), to waive (such waiver to be in writing addressed to the related
Borrower, with a copy to the Trustee) all or any portion of the accrued Post-ARD
Additional Interest in respect of such ARD Mortgage Loan if, prior to the
related maturity date, the related Borrower has requested the right to prepay
such ARD Mortgage Loan in full, together with all payments required by the
related Mortgage Loan Documents in connection with such prepayment, except for
such accrued Post-ARD Additional Interest, PROVIDED that the Master Servicer has
determined, in its reasonable judgment, that the waiver of the Trust's right to
receive such accrued Post-ARD Additional Interest is in accordance with the
Servicing Standard.
(g) Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 3.20 or SECTION
3.24 to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be required to seek the
consent of the Special Servicer or any Certificateholder or obtain any
confirmation of the Certificate ratings from the Rating Agencies in order to
approve the following modifications, waivers or amendments of the Serviced
Mortgage Loans (but, in the case of the actions described in CLAUSES (II) and
(III) of this sentence, shall notify the Controlling Class Representative
thereof): (i) waivers of minor covenant defaults (other than financial
covenants), including late financial statements; (ii) releases of parcels of a
Mortgaged Property (PROVIDED that any such releases (A) are releases as to which
the related Mortgage Loan Documents expressly require the mortgagee thereunder
to make such releases upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and such
releases shall be made as required by the related Mortgage Loan Documents, or
(B) are related to any pending or threatened condemnation action); (iii) grants
of easements or rights of way that do not materially affect the use or value of
a Mortgaged Property or the Borrower's ability to make any payments with respect
to the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan; (iv) if the subject Mortgage Loan is a
CGMRC Mortgage Loan or a [Seller No. 3] Mortgage Loan, approval of routine
leasing activities that affect less than the lesser of ___% of the net rentable
area of the related Mortgaged Property or ________ square feet of the related
Mortgaged Property; (v) if the subject Mortgage Loan is a [Seller No. 2]
Mortgage Loan with an unpaid principal balance of greater than $__________,
approval of routine leasing activities that affect less than ________ square
feet of the related Mortgaged Property, (vi) if the subject Mortgage Loan is a
[Seller No. 2] Mortgage Loan with an unpaid principal balance of $__________ or
less, approval of any routine leasing activity, and (vii) approval of annual
budgets to operate the Mortgaged Property; PROVIDED that any such modification,
waiver or amendment, or agreeing to any such modification, waiver or
-166-
amendment, (w) would not in any way affect a payment term of the subject
Serviced Mortgage Loan, (x) would not constitute a "significant modification" of
such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Treasury regulation section 1.860G-2(b) and would
not otherwise constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool
or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to either Grantor Trust Pool, (y)
would be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (z) shall not violate the
terms, provisions or limitations of this Agreement or any other document
contemplated hereby.
(h) The Master Servicer shall not terminate or replace, or
consent to the termination or replacement of, any property manager with respect
to any Mortgaged Property, in any event without the prior written consent of the
Special Servicer (it being understood and agreed that (A) the Master Servicer
shall promptly provide the Special Servicer with its analysis, recommendations
and all information that the Special Servicer may reasonably request and which
information is in the possession of the Master Servicer, in order to withhold or
grant any such consent, (B) subject to SECTION 3.24, the Special Servicer shall
decide whether to withhold or grant such consent in accordance with the
Servicing Standard and (C) if any such consent has not been expressly denied
within 10 Business Days of the Special Servicer's receipt from the Master
Servicer of such analysis, recommendation and all information reasonably
requested thereby in order to make an informed decision (or, if the Special
Servicer did not request any information, within 10 Business Days from such
notice), such consent shall be deemed to have been granted). Furthermore, the
Master Servicer shall not take any such action with respect to any Serviced
Mortgage Loan with an unpaid principal balance in excess of $__________ unless
(subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents) the Master Servicer has
obtained written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such action will not
result in an Adverse Rating Event.
(i) In connection with granting an extension of the maturity
date of any Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with SECTION 3.20(A), the
Special Servicer, in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the
Master Servicer, in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall each
cause the related Borrower to agree, if it has not already done so pursuant to
the existing Mortgage Loan Documents, to thereafter deliver to the Special
Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative and, upon request, the Trustee
annual audited operating statements and quarterly unaudited operating statements
with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, PROVIDED that the Special
Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, may, in its sole
discretion, waive the requirement that such statements be audited.
(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, including this
SECTION 3.20, to the contrary, for so long as the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer are the same Person, the Master Servicer shall not be obligated
to obtain the consent or approval of the Special Servicer as otherwise required
in this Agreement but shall instead be required to request the consent or
approval of the Controlling Class Representative (in respect of any matter as to
which such consent is otherwise required hereunder) to the extent, and on the
same terms, subject to the same limitations, restrictions and exclusions and
within the same time periods as, the Special Servicer is required to request
such consent or approval of the Controlling Class Representative pursuant to
SECTION 3.24 or any other section or provision of this Agreement.
(k) None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Trustee shall agree to any amendment or supplement to or modification or
termination of either [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Intercreditor
Agreement or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement unless
(i) it shall have obtained (A) the consent of the Controlling Class
Representative and (B) written
-167-
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment, supplement or
modification will not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any
Class of Rated Certificates and (ii) it shall have received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such amendment, supplement or modification will not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event.
SECTION 3.21. Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer
and Special Servicer; Record Keeping.
(a) Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has
occurred with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer is
not also the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall immediately give notice
thereof, and shall deliver the related Servicing File, to the Special Servicer
and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all
information, documents (or copies thereof) and records (including records stored
electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such
Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to
assume its functions hereunder with respect thereto without acting through a
Sub-Servicer. Without regard to whether the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer are the same Person, the Master Servicer shall immediately give notice
of a Servicing Transfer Event in respect of any Serviced Mortgage Loan to the
Controlling Class Representative. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable
efforts to comply with the preceding two sentences within five Business Days of
the occurrence of each related Servicing Transfer Event. The Special Servicer
may, as to any delinquent Serviced Mortgage Loan, prior to the occurrence of a
Servicing Transfer Event with respect thereto, request and obtain the foregoing
documents and information in order to perform its duties described in SECTION
3.02.
Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan has
become a Corrected Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall
immediately give notice thereof to the Controlling Class Representative. In
addition, if the Master Servicer is not also the Special Servicer, the Special
Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof, and shall return the related
Servicing File within five Business Days, to the Master Servicer; and, upon
giving such notice and returning such Servicing File to the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer's obligation to service such Mortgage Loan, and the Special
Servicer's right to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, shall terminate, and the obligations of the Master Servicer to
service and administer such Mortgage Loan shall resume.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection
with the transfer to the Special Servicer of the servicing of a
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan as a result of a Servicing Transfer Event or
the re-assumption of servicing responsibilities by the Master Servicer with
respect to any such Mortgage Loan upon its becoming a Corrected Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each transfer
to the other, as and when applicable, the servicing of all other
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans constituting part of the same
Cross-Collateralized Group; PROVIDED that no Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan
may become a Corrected Serviced Mortgage Loan at anytime that a continuing
Servicing Transfer Event exists with respect to another Cross-Collateralized
Mortgage Loan in the same Cross-Collateralized Group.
(b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the
Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee originals of documents
contemplated by the definition of "Mortgage File" and generated while such
Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, for inclusion in the
related Mortgage File (with a copy of each such original to the Master
Servicer), and copies of any additional
-168-
related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence with the related
Borrower generated while such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall furnish
to each other, upon reasonable request, such reports, documents, certifications
and information in its possession, and access to such books and records
maintained thereby, as may relate to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property and as
shall be reasonably required by the requesting party in order to perform its
duties hereunder.
(d) In connection with the performance of its obligations
hereunder, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to rely upon written information provided to it by the other.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are the
same Person, all notices, certificates, information, consents and documents
required to be given or delivered by the Master Servicer to the Special Servicer
or vice versa shall be deemed to be given or delivered, as the case may be,
without the necessity of any action on such Person's part.
SECTION 3.22. Sub-Servicing Agreements.
(a) The Master Servicer and, subject to SECTION 3.22(F), the
Special Servicer may each enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the
performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations hereunder,
PROVIDED that, in each case, the Sub-Servicing Agreement: (i) is not
inconsistent with this Agreement and does not subject the Trust to any
liability; (ii) expressly or effectively provides that if the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall for any reason no longer act in
such capacity hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), any
successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
hereunder (including the Trustee if the Trustee has become such successor
pursuant to SECTION 7.02) may thereupon either assume all of the rights and,
except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, under such
agreement or, subject to the provisions of SECTION 3.22(D), terminate such
rights and obligations, in either case without payment of any fee except as set
forth in SECTION 3.22(D); (iii) prohibits the Sub-Servicer from modifying any
Serviced Mortgage Loan or commencing any foreclosure or similar proceedings with
respect to any Mortgaged Property without the consent of the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be; (iv) in the case of a Sub-Servicing
Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer, expressly or effectively provides
(unless the Special Servicer agrees otherwise) that such agreement shall be
suspended or terminated with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan serviced
thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, and also expressly or effectively provides (unless the Special Servicer
agrees otherwise) that the Sub-Servicer shall not receive or accrue an
entitlement to any sub-servicing compensation in respect of a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or an REO Loan that relates to an Administered REO Property; and
(v) in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Special
Servicer, relates only to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or Administered REO
Properties and expressly or effectively provides that such agreement shall
terminate with respect to any such Mortgage Loan that becomes a Corrected
Serviced Mortgage Loan. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be
taken by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; and, in connection
therewith, all amounts advanced by any
-169-
Sub-Servicer to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have
been advanced by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, out of its own funds. Accordingly, such Advances shall be recoverable by
such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such
Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be; and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue
interest in accordance with SECTION 3.11(G) and/or SECTION 4.03(D), such
interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, and such Sub-Servicer as they may agree. For purposes of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be deemed to
have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such
payment. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall deliver to the
other such party, the Trustee and the Depositor, promptly following the
appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, an Officer's Certificate disclosing such
appointment and confirming that the related Sub-Servicing Agreement complies
with this SECTION 3.22(A).
(b) Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business
in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to
service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, each shall (at no expense to
the other parties hereto or to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust)
monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of their respective
Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing Agreements. Such enforcement,
including the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other
appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent
and at such time as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
in its reasonable judgment, would require were it the owner of the subject
Serviced Mortgage Loans. Subject to the terms of the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the

(d) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer ceases to
serve as such under this Agreement for any reason (including by reason of an
Event of Default), then the Trustee or other successor Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall succeed to the rights and assume the
obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
under any Sub-Servicing Agreement unless the Trustee or other successor Master
Servicer or Special Servicer elects to terminate any such Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with its terms and SECTION 3.22(A)(II) hereof; PROVIDED
that a Designated Sub-Servicer Agreement may not be so terminated except for
cause. In any event, if a Sub-Servicing Agreement is to be assumed by the
Trustee or other successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, then the
resigning or terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, at
its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party
all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the
Serviced Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of
amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use its
reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.

obligated and liable to the Trustee and the

Certificateholders for the performance of their respective obligations and
duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same
extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were servicing
and administering the Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties
for which it is responsible. No appointment of a Sub-Servicer shall result in
any additional expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust other
than those contemplated herein, and the fees of such Sub-Servicer shall be
payable by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, whichever retained it,
regardless of whether the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's, as the
case may be, compensation hereunder is sufficient to cover such fees.
(f) The Special Servicer shall not enter into any
Sub-Servicing Agreement unless either: (i) the Rating Agencies have confirmed in
writing that entering into such agreement will not result in an Adverse Rating
Event; or (ii) such agreement relates to one or more Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans that (together with any other Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Loans
sub-serviced in accordance with this SECTION 3.22) represent less than 25% of
the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans.
(g) Each successor Master Servicer hereunder shall, except as
provided in SECTION 7.01(C), agree to assume the responsibilities and
obligations of the Master Servicer under the applicable Designated Sub-Servicer
Agreement.

REPRESENTATIVE") having the rights and powers specified in this Agreement
(including those specified in SECTION 3.24) or to replace an existing
Controlling Class Representative. Upon (i) the receipt by the Trustee of written

Certificateholder or Certificate Owner requesting information with respect to
CLAUSE (I) and CLAUSE (III) above if the Depository charges a fee for such

select a Controlling Class Representative. Such notice shall set forth the
process established by the Trustee for selecting a Controlling Class
Representative, which process may include the designation of the Controlling
Class Representative by the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) by a

Controlling Class Representative shall be effective until such Person provides
the Trustee with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment,
written confirmation that it will keep confidential all information received by
it as Controlling Class Representative hereunder or otherwise with respect to
the Certificates, the Trust Fund and/or this Agreement, an address and telecopy

Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall
deliver to the Holders or Certificate Owners, as applicable, of the Controlling
Class, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer the identity of the new
Controlling Class Representative and a list of each Holder (or, in the case of
Book-Entry Certificates, to the extent actually known to a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee or identified thereto by the Depository or the Depository
Participants, each Certificate Owner) of the Controlling Class, including, in
each case, names and addresses. With respect to such information, the Trustee
shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information provided to it by the
Holders (or, in the case of Book-Entry Certificates, subject to SECTION 5.06, by
the Depository or the Certificate Owners) of such Certificates, and the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on such information
provided by the Trustee with respect to any obligation or right hereunder that
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may have to
deliver information or otherwise communicate with the Controlling Class
Representative or any of the Holders (or, if applicable, Certificate Owners) of
the Controlling Class. In addition to the foregoing, within two Business Days of
the selection, resignation or removal of a Controlling Class Representative, the
Trustee shall notify the other parties to this Agreement of such event.

as such by giving written notice to the Trustee and to each Holder (or, in the
case of Book-Entry Certificates, Certificate Owner) of the Controlling Class.
The Holders (or, in the case of Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificate Owners)
of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Class Principal Balance of the
Controlling Class shall be entitled to remove any existing Controlling Class
Representative by giving written notice to the Trustee and to such existing
Controlling Class Representative.
(d) Once a Controlling Class Representative has been selected
pursuant to this SECTION 3.23, each of the parties to this Agreement and each
Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to
rely on such selection unless a majority of the Holders (or, in the case of
Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificate Owners) of the Controlling Class, by
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance, or such Controlling Class
Representative, as applicable, shall have notified the Trustee and each other
party to this Agreement and each Holder (or, in the case of Book-Entry
Certificates, Certificate Owner) of the Controlling Class, in writing, of the
resignation or removal of such Controlling Class Representative.

Representative shall be borne by the Holders (or, if applicable, the Certificate
Owners) of Certificates of the Controlling Class, PRO RATA according to their
respective Percentage Interests in such Class, and not by the Trust.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim is made against the Controlling Class
Representative by a Borrower with respect to this Agreement or any particular
Mortgage Loan, the Controlling Class Representative shall immediately notify the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, whereupon (if the Special
Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust are also named parties
to the same action and, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, (i)
the Controlling Class Representative had acted in good faith, without negligence
or willful misfeasance, with regard to the particular matter at issue, and (ii)
there is no potential for the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
or the Trust to be an adverse party in such action as regards the Controlling
Class Representative) the Special Servicer on behalf of, and at the expense of,

Status Report and the Special Servicer makes a determination in accordance with
the Servicing Standard that such objection is not in the best interest of all
the Certificateholders, the Special Servicer shall take the recommended actions
described in the Asset Status Report. If within 10 Business Days after receipt
of an Asset Status Report the Controlling Class Representative objects to such
Asset Status Report and the Special Servicer does not make a determination in
accordance with the Servicing Standard that such objection is not in the best
interest of all the Certificateholders, the Special Servicer shall revise such
Asset Status Report as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later

Class Representative. The Special Servicer shall continue to revise the Asset
Status Report until, as provided above, (i) the Controlling Class Representative
fails to object to the revised Asset Status Report or (ii) the Controlling Class
Representative objects to the revised Asset Status Report and the Special
Servicer makes a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that
such objection is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Special Servicer has not taken the recommended
actions described in an Asset Status Report in accordance with this paragraph
within 90 days of the Controlling Class Representative's receipt of the initial
Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall take the recommended actions
described in the most recent Asset Status Report submitted to the Controlling
Class Representative, which Asset Status Report shall be deemed to have been
approved by the Controlling Class Representative.

this Agreement to the contrary, but in all cases subject to SECTION 3.24(B), the
Special Servicer will not be permitted to take, or consent to the Master
Servicer's taking, any of the actions identified in CLAUSES (I) through (XII) of
this sentence not otherwise specifically covered by an approved Asset Status
Report, unless and until the Special Servicer has notified the Controlling Class
Representative in writing of the Special Servicer's intent to take or permit the
particular action and the Controlling Class Representative has consented (or has
failed to object) thereto in writing within ten Business Days (or, in the case
of any consent to leasing activity at a Mortgaged Property securing a [Seller
No. 2] Mortgage Loan as contemplated by CLAUSE (VIII) below, three Business
Days) of having been notified thereof in writing and having been provided with
all reasonably requested information with respect thereto:

not conditioned on obtaining the consent of the lender);
PROVIDED that, with respect to Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans, the 10
Business Days (or, if applicable, three Business Days) within which the
Controlling Class Representative must object shall coincide with the Special
Servicer's 10-Business Day (or, if applicable, the three-Business Day) period to
object set forth in SECTIONS 3.03(D), 3.08, 3.20(A)(I), 3.20(F) and 3.20(H); and
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that, in the event that the Special Servicer determines that
immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders
(as a collective whole), the Special Servicer may take any such action without
waiting for the Controlling Class Representative's response; and PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that the foregoing rights of the Controlling Class Representative shall
not relate to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Property; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Special
Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative (but shall not
require the consent or deemed consent thereof) with regard to any action

Certificates on any Distribution Date, the applicable "ADDITIONAL YIELD AMOUNT"
shall be an amount equal to the product of: (i) the amount of such Prepayment
Premium; multiplied by (ii) a fraction (not greater than one or less than zero),
the numerator of which is equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the Pass-Through
Rate applicable to such Class of Yield Maintenance Certificates for the
corresponding Interest Accrual Period, over (B) the relevant Discount Rate (as
defined below), and the denominator of which is equal to the excess, if any, of
(X) the Mortgage Rate for the Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Loan) in
respect of which such Prepayment Premium was received, over (Y) the relevant
Discount Rate; multiplied by (iii) a fraction (not greater than one or less than
zero), the numerator of which is equal to the Principal Distribution Amount with
respect to such Class of Yield Maintenance Certificates for such Distribution
Date, and the denominator of which is equal to the Total Principal Distribution
Amount for such Distribution Date.
For purposes of determining the portion of any Prepayment
Premium that is distributable to the Holders of any Class of Yield Maintenance
Certificates on any Distribution Date, the relevant "DISCOUNT RATE" shall equal
the Yield Maintenance Interest Rate for the prepaid Mortgage Loan (or any
successor REO Loan); PROVIDED that, if a "No" is indicated with respect to the
prepaid Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Loan) on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
under the heading "Yield Maintenance Interest Rate Converted to Monthly Mortgage
Rate", then the relevant "Discount Rate" shall be the nominal interest rate that
when compounded monthly would have an annual yield that is equivalent to the
annual yield obtained by compounding the Yield Maintenance Interest Rate for the
prepaid Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Loan) on a semi-annual basis; and
the relevant Yield Maintenance Interest Rate for any prepaid Mortgage Loan (or
any successor REO Loan) shall be determined by the Trustee, in good faith, in
accordance with the definition of "Yield Maintenance Interest Rate".
(e) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from
the Distribution Account any amounts then on deposit in the Class Y Sub-Account
of the Distribution Account that represent Post-ARD Additional Interest
collected in respect of the ARD Mortgage Loans or any successor REO Loans during
or prior to the Collection Period for such Distribution Date and shall
distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class Y Certificates.
(f) All distributions made with respect to each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated PRO RATA among the
Holders of such Certificates based on their respective Percentage Interests.
Except as otherwise provided below, all such distributions made with respect to
each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be made to the
Holders of such Certificates of record at the close of business on the related
Record Date and, in the case of each such Holder, shall be made by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account thereof at a bank or other entity
having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder shall have provided the
Trustee with wiring instructions no later than the related Record Date (which
wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all
subsequent Distribution Dates), and otherwise shall be made by check mailed to
the address of such Holder as it appears in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate (determined, in the case of a Principal Balance
Certificate, without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any portion
of a previously incurred Unfunded Principal
-180-
Balance Reduction allocable to such Certificate) will be made in like manner,
but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of
the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution. Any distribution that is to be
made with respect to a Principal Balance Certificate in reimbursement of any
portion of an Unfunded Principal Balance Reduction allocable to such
Certificate, which reimbursement is to occur after the date on which such
Certificate is surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence, will be
made by check mailed to the Holder that surrendered such Certificate at the last
address set forth for such Holder in the Certificate Register or at any other
address of which the Trustee was subsequently notified in writing.
(g) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the related Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect
participating brokerage firm for which it acts as agent. Each such indirect
participating brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the
related Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the parties hereto shall
have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement
or applicable law. The Trustee and the Depositor shall perform their respective
obligations under the Letters of Representations among the Depositor, the
Trustee and the initial Depository, copies of which Letters of Representations
are attached hereto as EXHIBIT C.
(h) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive
distributions from the proceeds of the Trust Fund in respect of their
Certificates, and all rights and interests of the Certificateholders in and to
such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Holders
of any Class of Certificates nor any party hereto shall in any way be
responsible or liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in
respect of amounts previously distributed on the Certificates in accordance with
this Agreement.
(i) Except as otherwise provided in SECTION 9.01, whenever the
Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of
Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date (such final distribution
to be determined, in the case of a Class of Principal Balance Certificates,
without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any portion of a
previously incurred Unfunded Principal Balance Reduction in respect of such
Class), the Trustee shall, as promptly as possible (and, in any event, no later
than two Business Days) after the related Determination Date, mail to each
Holder of such Class of Certificates of record on such date a notice to the
effect that:
(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution
with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such
Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at such
other location therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates
from and after the end of the Interest Accrual Period for such
Distribution Date.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class
on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to
tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and credited to, and
shall be held uninvested in trust in, the account or accounts of the
-181-
appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which
notice has been given pursuant to this SECTION 4.01(I) shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, then the Trustee, directly or through an agent, shall take such
steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the
surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and
expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such
second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such
funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount
held in trust pursuant to this paragraph. If any Certificates as to which notice
has been given pursuant to this SECTION 4.01(I), shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation by the second anniversary of the delivery of the second notice,
then, subject to applicable escheat laws, the Trustee shall distribute to the
Class R Certificateholders all unclaimed funds.
(j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. If the Trustee
does withhold any amount from payments or advances of interest or original issue
discount to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements,
the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder.
(k) All distributions of accrued interest made with respect to
the Class X-1 Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to CLAUSE FIRST of
SECTION 4.01(A) shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC II to
REMIC III on such Distribution Date as accrued interest with respect to the
various REMIC II Regular Interests, up to, and PRO RATA as among the REMIC II
Regular Interests based on, the aggregate of the Class X-1 Portion of the
Current Interest Distribution Amount and the Class X-1 Portion of the
Carryforward Interest Distribution Amount with respect to each such REMIC II
Regular Interest for such Distribution Date. In addition, all distributions of
additional interest (in the form of Prepayment Premiums) made with respect to
the Class X-1 Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION 4.01(D)
shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC II to REMIC III on
such Distribution Date as additional interest (in the form of Prepayment
Premiums) with respect to the various REMIC II Regular Interests, PRO RATA in
accordance with the respective amounts of principal deemed distributed with
respect to each such REMIC II Regular Interest for such Distribution Date as
provided below in this SECTION 4.01(K).
All distributions of accrued interest made with respect to the
Class X-2 Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to CLAUSE FIRST of
SECTION 4.01(A), and allocable to any particular Group X-2 REMIC III Regular
Interest, shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC II to REMIC
III on such Distribution Date as accrued interest with respect to the
Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest in respect of such Group X-2 REMIC III
Regular Interest as part of such REMIC II Regular Interest's Interest
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date.
All distributions made with respect to each Class of Principal
Balance Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION 4.01(A),
SECTION 4.01(B) or SECTION 4.01(D) shall be deemed to have first been
distributed from REMIC II to REMIC III on such Distribution Date with respect to
the
-182-
Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest(s) for such Class of Certificates.
In each case, if such distribution on any such Class of Principal Balance
Certificates was a distribution of accrued interest (as part of the related
Interest Distribution Amount for the subject Distribution Date), of principal,
of additional interest (in the form of Prepayment Premiums) or in reimbursement
of any related Unfunded Principal Balance Reductions with respect to such Class
of Certificates, then the corresponding distribution deemed to be made on the
Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest(s) for such Class of Certificates
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be deemed also to be a distribution of
accrued interest (as part of the Interest Distribution Amount(s) in respect of
such REMIC II Regular Interest(s) for the subject Distribution Date), of
principal, of additional interest (in the form of Prepayment Premiums) or in
reimbursement of any related Unfunded Principal Balance Reductions with respect
to such REMIC II Regular Interest(s).
Each Class of Principal Balance Certificates shall have one
Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest, except for the Class A-2 Certificates,
which shall have two Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interests. Deemed
distributions of accrued interest made on REMIC II Regular Interest A-2A and
REMIC II Regular Interest A-2B shall be allocated between those two REMIC II
Regular Interests on a PRO RATA basis in accordance with their respective
Interest Distribution Amounts for the subject Distribution Date. Deemed
distributions of principal made on REMIC II Regular Interest A-2A and REMIC II
Regular Interest A-2B shall be allocated first to REMIC II Regular Interest
A-2A, until its Uncertificated Principal Balance is reduced to zero, and then to
REMIC II Regular Interest A-2B. Deemed distributions of additional interest (in
the form of Prepayment Premiums) made on REMIC II Regular Interest A-2A and
REMIC II Regular Interest A-2B shall be allocated entirely to REMIC II Regular
Interest A-2A, for so long as its Uncertificated Principal Balance is greater
than zero, and then to REMIC II Regular Interest A-2B. Deemed distributions in
reimbursement of Unfunded Principal Balance Reductions made on REMIC II Regular
Interest A-2A and REMIC II Regular Interest A-2B shall be allocated between
those two REMIC II Regular Interests on a PRO RATA basis in accordance with
their respective Loss Reimbursement Amounts for the subject Distribution Date.
The actual distributions made by the Trustee on each
Distribution Date with respect to the Certificates pursuant to SECTION 4.01(A),
SECTION 4.01(B), SECTION 4.01(C) (to the extent such distributions relate to the
REMIC III Residual Interest) or SECTION 4.01(D), as applicable, shall be deemed
to have been so made from the amounts deemed distributed with respect to the
REMIC II Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to this SECTION
4.01(K). Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the REMIC II Regular
Interests described in this SECTION 4.01(K), actual distributions of funds from
the Distribution Account shall be made only in accordance with SECTION 4.01(A),
SECTION 4.01(B), SECTION 4.01(C), SECTION 4.01(D) or SECTION 4.01(E), as
applicable.
(l) On each Distribution Date, immediately prior to making any
actual distributions on the Certificates pursuant to SECTION 4.01(A), SECTION
4.01(B) or SECTION 4.01(C), or the corresponding deemed distributions on the
REMIC II Regular Interests pursuant to SECTION 4.01(K), the Trustee shall be
deemed to have made out of the Standard Available Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date, the following distributions to REMIC II in the following
order of priority, in each case to the extent of the remaining portion of such
Standard Available Distribution Amount:
FIRST, distributions of interest with respect to all of the
REMIC I Regular Interests, up to, and PRO RATA as among such REMIC I
Regular Interests based on, their respective Interest Distribution
Amounts for such Distribution Date;
-183-
SECOND, distributions of principal with respect to all of the
REMIC I Regular Interests, up to, and PRO RATA as among such REMIC I
Regular Interests based on, their respective Principal Distribution
Amounts for such Distribution Date; and
THIRD, reimbursements of Unfunded Principal Balance Reductions
with respect to all of the REMIC I Regular Interests (including any
REMIC I Regular Interests whose Uncertificated Principal Balances have
previously been reduced to zero), up to, and PRO RATA as among such
REMIC I Regular Interests based on, their respective Loss Reimbursement
Amounts for such Distribution Date.
Furthermore, on each Distribution Date, immediately prior to
making any actual distributions on the REMIC III Regular Interest Certificates
pursuant to SECTION 4.01(D), or the corresponding deemed distributions on the
REMIC II Regular Interests pursuant to SECTION 4.01(K), the Trustee shall be
deemed to have distributed to REMIC II each Prepayment Premium then on deposit
in the Distribution Account that was received (including, in the case of the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
REO Loan, by the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer or the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust) on
or with respect to any Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan during or prior to
the Collection Period for such Distribution Date, such distribution to be deemed
made with respect to the REMIC I Regular Interest that relates to such Mortgage
Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be.
The distributions deemed made by the Trustee on each
Distribution Date with respect to the REMIC II Regular Interests pursuant to
SECTION 4.01(K), as well as the distributions actually made by the Trustee on
each Distribution Date with respect to the Certificates pursuant to SECTION
4.01(A), SECTION 4.01(B), SECTION 4.01(C) (to the extent such distributions
relate to the REMIC II Residual Interest or the REMIC III Residual Interest) or
SECTION 4.01(D), shall be deemed to have been so made from the amounts deemed
distributed with respect to the REMIC I Regular Interests on such Distribution
Date pursuant to this SECTION 4.01(L). Notwithstanding the deemed distributions
on the REMIC I Regular Interests described in this SECTION 4.01(L), actual
distributions of funds from the Distribution Account shall be made only in
accordance with SECTION 4.01(A), SECTION 4.01(B), SECTION 4.01(C), SECTION
4.01(D) or SECTION 4.01(E), as applicable.
SECTION 4.02. Statements to Certificateholders; Certain Other
Reports.
(a) Based solely on information provided to the Trustee by the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to SECTIONS 3.12, 4.02(B) and

shall not provide Charter Research Corporation, The ▇▇▇▇▇ Group and Intex
Solutions, Inc. any information regarding the Certificates until the Depositor
confirms to the Trustee that CGMI has sold all of its Non-Registered
Certificates to unaffiliated third parties; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that during
any period that reports are required to be filed with the Commission with
respect to the Trust pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, each

to keep confidential the information therein until such Statement to
Certificateholders is filed with the Commission, and the Statement to
Certificateholders (or, if presented via the Trustee's Internet Website, such
website) shall bear a legend to the following effect:
No recipient shall use or disclose the information contained
in this statement/report/file in any manner which could result
in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act of 1933
or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or would require
registration of any Non-Registered Certificates pursuant to
Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall also provide or
make available electronically (or, upon request, by first class mail) to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Underwriters, the
Rating Agencies, the Controlling Class Representative, each Certificateholder

in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act of 1933
or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or would require

Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933.
The Trustee shall have no obligation to provide the
information or reports described in this SECTION 4.02(A) until it has received
the requisite information or reports from the Master Servicer, and the Trustee
shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the
Certificateholder Reports caused by the Master Servicer's failure to timely
deliver any information or reports hereunder. None of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be responsible for the accuracy or
completeness of any information supplied to it by a Borrower or third party, and
accepted by it in good faith, that is included in any reports, statements,
materials or information prepared or provided by the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. None of the Trustee, the Master
-185-
Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have any obligation to verify the

Trustee that CGMI has sold the Non-Registered Certificates to unaffiliated third
parties, access to such reports and information on the Trustee's Internet
Website will be restricted to the same extent, and limited to the same Persons,
as the Restricted Servicer Reports. The Trustee shall, to the extent received,
make the Restricted Servicer Reports available each month, via the Trustee's
Internet Website, to any Certificateholder, Certificate Owner, any Person
identified by any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate or interest therein, the other parties hereto, the
Underwriters, the Controlling Class Representative or any Rating Agency, on a
restricted basis upon receipt by the Trustee from such Person of a certification
substantially in the form of EXHIBIT K-1 or EXHIBIT K-2, as applicable; PROVIDED
that the Trustee shall provide such access to each party hereto, the
Underwriters, the Controlling Class Representative and each Rating Agency
without requiring such certification. In addition, the Trustee is hereby
directed and authorized to make available, as a convenience to interested
parties (and not in furtherance of the distribution of the Prospectus or the

Representative (if any), the Certificateholders and the Rating Agencies. In
connection with providing access to the Trustee's Internet Website and
electronic bulletin board, the Trustee may require registration and the
acceptance of a disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement. During any
period that reports are required to be filed with the Commission with respect to
the Trust pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, access to information

The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on but shall not be
responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided by third
parties for purposes of preparing the Statement to Certificateholders and may
affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion
(without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).
(b) The Master Servicer may maintain an Internet Website which
may, subject to applicable law, contain the information and reports required to
be produced by the Master Servicer. Access by Certificateholders, Certificate
Owners, the Controlling Class Representative, the Depositor
-186-

person was a Certificateholder and (ii) such other customary information as the
Trustee deems necessary or desirable for Certificateholders to prepare their
federal, state and local income tax returns, including the amount of original
issue discount accrued on the Certificates, if applicable. The obligations of
the Trustee in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been
satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code. As soon as
practicable following the request of any Certificateholder in writing, the
Trustee shall furnish to such Certificateholder such information regarding the
Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties as such Certificateholder may
reasonably request and, as has been furnished to, or may otherwise be in the
possession of, the Trustee. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each
shall promptly provide to the Depositor and the Trustee such information
regarding the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties as such party may
reasonably request and at the requesting party's expense, and that has been
furnished to, or may otherwise be in the possession of, the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be.
SECTION 4.03. P&I Advances.
(a) On or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Master
Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall, subject to SECTION 4.03(C),
either (i) deposit into the Distribution Account from its own funds an amount
equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of
the Mortgage Pool for the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in
the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders in
subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make such P&I Advances,
or (iii) make such P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the total amount of such P&I Advances to be made; PROVIDED that if
Late Collections of any of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect
of which it is to make such P&I Advances on any Master Servicer Remittance Date
are then on deposit in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer shall use
such Late Collections (net of any Master Servicing Fees payable therefrom) to
make such P&I Advances. Any amounts held in the Collection Account for future
distribution and so used to make P&I Advances pursuant to the preceding sentence
(other than the Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest
contemplated by the proviso to the preceding sentence) shall be appropriately
reflected in the Master Servicer's records and replaced by the Master Servicer
by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next succeeding
Determination Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of
Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which
such P&I Advances were made).
Unless and until the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Loan
Group or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Property is being serviced
and administered in accordance with ARTICLE XII, all P&I Advances with respect
to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately
-187-
Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan are required to be made by the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer (or in the event the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer fails to do so, and if the [Other CMBS
Series PSA] is the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement, by
the [Other CMBS Series] Trustee), pursuant to, and as and when required by, a
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement. If, as of 1:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on any Master Servicer Remittance Date, neither the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer nor any other party under
the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement shall have made the
portion of any P&I Advance required to be made pursuant to a [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement that is allocable to the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan (and
shall not have delivered to the Master Servicer an officer's certificate and
documentation related to a determination of nonrecoverability of a P&I Advance
as contemplated by a [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement),
then (subject to SECTION 4.03(C) below) the Master Servicer shall make the
portion of such P&I Advance that was required to be, but was not, made by the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer or any other party under a
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement by such Master Servicer
Remittance Date pursuant to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing
Agreement and that is allocable to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or
any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan. If the Master Servicer fails
to make any such P&I Advance on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date,
then the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with the last paragraph of this SECTION 4.03(A).
If the Master Servicer shall not have received, by 1:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on any Master Servicer Remittance Date, any remittance
required to be made under a [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing
Agreement with respect to the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan on or before such date in the
subject calendar month (whether in the form of a P&I Advance or the pass-through
of collections), then the Master Servicer shall, subject to a determination of
recoverability, advance the amount of such required remittance on such Master
Servicer Remittance Date insofar as such remittance constitutes or relates to a
Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment with respect to the [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan.
Such advance shall be deemed to be a P&I Advance for all purposes hereunder;
PROVIDED that no interest shall accrue with respect to such P&I Advance pursuant
to SECTION 4.03(D) so long as the required remittance is received by the Master
Servicer on such Master Servicer Remittance Date in time for the Master Servicer
to reinvest the funds from such remittance.
If, as of 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Master
Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall not have made any P&I
Advance required to be made with respect to any Mortgage Loan or successor REO
Loan on such date pursuant to this SECTION 4.03(A) (and shall not have delivered
to the Trustee the requisite Officer's Certificate and documentation related to
a determination of nonrecoverability of a P&I Advance pursuant to SECTION
4.03(C)) or shall not have remitted any portion of the Master Servicer
Remittance Amount required to be remitted on such date, then the Trustee shall
provide notice of such failure to the Master Servicer, before 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on such Master Servicer Remittance Date. If, after such notice,
the Trustee does not receive the full amount of such P&I Advances by 11:00 a.m.
(New York City time) on the related Distribution Date, then the Trustee, unless
it determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance if made,
shall
-188-
(from its own funds) deposit in the Distribution Account the portion of such P&I
Advances that was required to be, but was not, made by the Master Servicer on
such Master Servicer Remittance Date.
(b) The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the
Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Pool for any Distribution Date
(subject to SECTION 4.03(C) below and, in the case of the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan, further
subject to the second paragraph of SECTION 4.03(A) above) shall equal the
aggregate of all Monthly Payments (other than Balloon Payments) and any Assumed
Monthly Payments, in each case net of any related Master Servicing Fees, due or
deemed due, as the case may be, in respect of the Serviced Mortgage Loans
(including Serviced Mortgage Loans that are Balloon Mortgage Loans delinquent as
to their respective Balloon Payments) and any successor REO Loans on their
respective Due Dates in the calendar month in which such Distribution Date
occurs, in each case to the extent such amount was not paid by or on behalf of
the related Borrower or otherwise collected as of the close of business on the
Determination Date in such calendar month; PROVIDED that, if an Appraisal
Reduction Amount exists with respect to any Required Appraisal Loan in the
Mortgage Pool, then the interest portion of any P&I Advance required to be made
in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan during any calendar month shall be
reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the
principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (i) the amount of
the interest portion of such P&I Advance that would otherwise be required to be
made in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan during such calendar month
without regard to this proviso, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, expressed as a
percentage, the numerator of which shall equal the Stated Principal Balance of
such Required Appraisal Loan as of the commencement of such calendar month, net
of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the denominator of which shall
equal the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan as of the
commencement of such calendar month.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I
Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if
made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. The determination by the Master
Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee or any Fiscal Agent) that it has made a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would
constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be made by such Person in its
reasonable judgment and shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered
to the Depositor, to the Special Servicer, to the Controlling Class
Representative and, if made by the Master Servicer, to the Trustee (on or before
the date on which the proposed P&I Advance is to be made), setting forth the
basis for such determination, accompanied (in the case of the Controlling Class
Representative and otherwise upon request) by a copy of an Appraisal of the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property performed within the 12 months
preceding such determination by a Qualified Appraiser, if available, and further
accompanied (in the case of the Controlling Class Representative and otherwise
upon request) by any other information, including engineers' reports,
environmental surveys or similar reports, that the Person making such
determination may have obtained and that support such determination. The Trustee
and any Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any
nonrecoverability determination made by the Master Servicer with respect to a
particular P&I Advance. With respect to P&I Advances on the [Separately Serviced
Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Loan, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any
nonrecoverability determination made by the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
Master Servicer or any other party with advancing obligations under a
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Servicing Agreement with respect to a
particular P&I Advance. The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party
required to make P&I Advances
-189-
hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties as such party required
to make P&I Advances may reasonably request. In the case of any
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan, any determination regarding whether any
related P&I Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance
shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related
Cross-Collateralized Group.
(d) The Master Servicer, the Trustee and any Fiscal Agent
shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect
from time to time, accrued on the amount of each P&I Advance made thereby (with
its own funds), for so long as such P&I Advance is outstanding (or, if the P&I
Advance was made prior to the end of the grace period applicable to the subject
delinquent Monthly Payment, for so long as such P&I Advance is outstanding after
the end of that grace period). Such interest with respect to any P&I Advance
shall be payable: (i) FIRST, in accordance with SECTION 3.05(A) and/or SECTION
1.04, out of any Default Charges collected (including, in the case of the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
REO Loan, by the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Master Servicer or the
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust)
with respect to the particular Mortgage Loan or REO Loan as to which such P&I
Advance was made; and (ii) THEN, after such P&I Advance is reimbursed, but only
if and to the extent that such Default Charges described in the immediately
preceding CLAUSE (I) are and have been insufficient to cover such Advance
Interest, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on
deposit in the Collection Account. As and to the extent provided in SECTION
3.05(A), the Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, the Trustee or any Fiscal
Agent, as applicable, for any outstanding P&I Advance made thereby as soon as
practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the
Collection Account, and in no event shall interest accrue in accordance with
this SECTION 4.03(D) on any P&I Advance as to which the corresponding Late
Collection was received as of the related Master Servicer Remittance Date. The
Master Servicer shall not be entitled to Advance Interest on any particular P&I
Advance made thereby to the extent the payment as to which such P&I Advance was
made, is received but is being held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer in
suspense.
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses and Additional
Trust Fund Expenses.
(a) On each Distribution Date, following the distributions to
Certificateholders to be made on such date pursuant to SECTIONS 4.01(A) and
4.01(B), the Trustee shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then
aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of all the Classes of Principal
Balance Certificates, exceeds (ii) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution
Date. If such excess does exist, then the Class Principal Balances of the Class
T, Class S, Class Q, Class P, Class N, Class M, Class L, Class K, Class J, Class
H, Class F, Class E, Class D, Class C and Class B Certificates shall be reduced
sequentially, in that order, until such excess is reduced to zero; PROVIDED
that, no such Class of Certificates shall have its Class Principal Balance
reduced unless and until the Class Principal Balance of each other Class of
Certificates, if any, listed in front of it has been reduced to zero; and
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if after the foregoing reductions, the amount described
in CLAUSE (I) of the preceding sentence still exceeds the amount described in
CLAUSE (II) of such sentence, then the respective Class Principal Balances of
the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates shall be reduced on a PRO
RATA basis in accordance with the relative sizes of such Class Principal
Balances, until any such remaining excess is reduced to zero. All such
reductions in the Class Principal Balances of the respective Classes of the
Principal Balance Certificates shall constitute allocations of Realized Losses
and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.
-190-
(b) On each Distribution Date, following the deemed
distributions to be made in respect of the REMIC II Regular Interests on such
date pursuant to SECTION 4.01(K), the Trustee shall determine the amount, if
any, by which (i) the then aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of all the
REMIC II Regular Interests, exceeds (ii) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such
Distribution Date. If such excess does exist, then the Uncertificated Principal
Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest T, REMIC II Regular Interest S, REMIC II
Regular Interest Q, REMIC II Regular Interest P, REMIC II Regular Interest N,
REMIC II Regular Interest M, REMIC II Regular Interest L, REMIC II Regular
Interest K, REMIC II Regular Interest J, REMIC II Regular Interest H, REMIC II
Regular Interest F, REMIC II Regular Interest E, REMIC II Regular Interest D,
REMIC II Regular Interest C and REMIC II Regular Interest B shall be reduced
sequentially, in that order, until such excess is reduced to zero; PROVIDED that
no such REMIC II Regular Interest shall have its Uncertificated Principal
Balance reduced unless and until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each
other REMIC II Regular Interest, if any, listed in front of it has been reduced
to zero; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if after the foregoing reductions, the
amount described in CLAUSE (I) of the preceding sentence still exceeds the
amount described in CLAUSE (II) of such sentence, then the respective
Uncertificated Principal Balances of (A) REMIC II Regular Interest A-1, (B)
REMIC II Regular Interest A-3 and (C) REMIC II Regular Interest A-2A and REMIC
II Regular Interest A-2B, as a collective matter in the order described in the
next sentence, shall be reduced on a PRO RATA basis in accordance with the
relative sizes of such Uncertificated Principal Balances, until any such
remaining excess is reduced to zero. Any reductions in the Uncertificated
Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interest A-2A and REMIC II Regular
Interest A-2B pursuant to the prior sentence shall be made: FIRST, to the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest A-2A, until such
Uncertificated Principal Balance is reduced to zero; and SECOND, to the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest A-2B. All such
reductions in the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the respective REMIC II
Regular Interests shall be deemed to constitute allocations of Realized Losses
and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.
(c) On each Distribution Date, following the deemed
distributions to be made in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests pursuant to
SECTION 4.01(L), the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular
Interest (after taking account of such deemed distributions) shall be reduced to
the extent necessary (if at all) to equal the Stated Principal Balance of the
related Mortgage Loan or successor REO Loan, as the case may be, that will be
outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. All such reductions in
the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the respective REMIC I Regular
Interests shall be deemed to constitute allocations of Realized Losses and
Additional Trust Fund Expenses.
SECTION 4.05. Calculations.
Provided that the Trustee receives the necessary information
from the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, the Trustee shall be
responsible for performing all calculations necessary in connection with the
actual and deemed distributions to be made pursuant to SECTION 4.01, the
preparation of the Statements to Certificateholders pursuant to SECTION 4.02(A)
and the actual and deemed allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust
Fund Expenses to be made pursuant to SECTION 4.04. The Trustee shall calculate
the Standard Available Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date and shall
allocate such amount among Certificateholders in accordance with this Agreement.
Absent actual knowledge of an error therein, the Trustee shall have no
obligation to recompute, recalculate or otherwise verify any information
provided to it by the Master Servicer. The calculations by the Trustee
-191-
contemplated by this SECTION 4.05 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder.
-192-
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates shall consist of twenty-two (22 Classes
with the following alphabetic or alphanumeric Class designations: "X-1", "X-2",
"▇-▇", "▇-▇", "▇-▇", "▇", "C", "D", "E", "F", "H", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "P",
"Q", "R", "S", "T" and "Y", respectively. Any reference in any other section or
subsection of this Agreement to any Certificate or Certificates preceded by a
Class designation shall be to a Certificate or Certificates of the Class so
designated in this SECTION 5.01(A).
(b) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective
forms attached hereto as EXHIBITS A-1 through A-5; PROVIDED, however, that any
of the Certificates may be issued with appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced
thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, as may be required to comply with any law or with rules or
regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities market in
which the Certificates are admitted to trading, or to conform to general usage.
The Certificates will be issuable in registered form only; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that in accordance with SECTION 5.03 beneficial ownership interests in all of
the Principal Balance and Interest Only Certificates shall initially be held and
transferred through the book-entry facilities of the Depository. The REMIC III
Regular Interest Certificates will be issuable only in denominations
corresponding to initial Certificate Principal Balances (or, in the case of the
Interest Only Certificates, initial Certificate Notional Amounts) as of the
Closing Date of: (i) in the case of the Interest Only Certificates, $1,000,000
and any whole dollar denomination in excess thereof; (ii) in the case of the
Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F
Certificates, $10,000 and any whole dollar denomination in excess thereof; and
(iii) in the case of the other REMIC III Regular Interest Certificates, $100,000
and any whole dollar denomination in excess thereof. The Class R and Class Y
Certificates will be issuable only in denominations representing Percentage

(c) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature by an authorized officer or signatory of the Trustee. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time
the authorized officers or signatories of the Trustee shall be entitled to all
benefits under this Agreement, subject to the following sentence,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not
hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose,
however, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
-193-
SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) At all times during the term of this Agreement, there
shall be maintained at the office of the Certificate Registrar a Certificate
Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Certificate
Registrar (located as of the Closing Date at _______________) may prescribe, the
Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee is
hereby initially appointed (and hereby agrees to act in accordance with the
terms hereof) as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The
Trustee may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the other parties
hereto, any other bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under
such conditions as the Trustee may prescribe, PROVIDED that the Trustee shall
not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder as
Certificate Registrar by reason of such appointment. If the Trustee resigns or
is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor trustee shall
immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Certificate Registrar. The
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the
right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all
reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate
Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate Register.
If any Certificateholder makes a written request to the
Trustee, and such request states that such Certificateholder desires to
communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under
this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the
communication that such requesting Certificateholder proposes to transmit, then
the Trustee shall, within 30 days after the receipt of such request, afford (or
cause any other Certificate Registrar to afford) the requesting
Certificateholder access during normal business hours to, or deliver to the
requesting Certificateholder a copy of, the most recent list of
Certificateholders held by the Certificate Registrar (which list shall be
current as of a date no earlier than 30 days prior to the Trustee's receipt of
such request). Every Certificateholder, by receiving such access, acknowledges
that neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee will be held accountable
in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and
addresses of any Certificateholder regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
(b) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any
Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless that
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 (other than a
Book-Entry Non-Registered 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 an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of a Rule 144A Global
Certificate, any transfer of such Certificate to a successor Depository or, in
the case of a Definitive Certificate issued with respect to a Rule 144A Global
Certificate, any transfer of such Certificate to the applicable Certificate
Owner in accordance with SECTION 5.03(C)), 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 hereto as
EXHIBIT F-1A; or (ii) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT F-1B
and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective
-194-
Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto either as EXHIBIT F-2A or
as EXHIBIT F-2B; or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration
under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Trust or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee, any Fiscal Agent or the Certificate Registrar in their respective
capacities as such), 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.
Each Global Certificate shall be deposited with the Trustee as
custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee
of the Depository.
If a transfer of an interest in any Rule 144A Global
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 an interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate by the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor), then (except as otherwise provided in the next
succeeding paragraph or in SECTION 5.03 the Certificate Owner desiring to effect
such transfer shall require from its prospective Transferee: (i) a certificate
substantially in the form attached either as EXHIBIT F-2C hereto; or (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the prospective Transferee is a Qualified
Institutional Buyer and such transfer may be made without registration under the
Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust or
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, any
Fiscal Agent or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as
such). Except as otherwise provided in the next paragraph or in SECTION 5.03,
any interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate shall not be transferred to any
Person other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer that takes delivery in the
form of an interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate. If any Transferee of
an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate does not, in connection with the
subject transfer, deliver to the Transferor the Opinion of Counsel or one of the
certifications described in the second preceding sentence, then such Transferee
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that all the certifications
set forth in EXHIBIT F-2C hereto are, with respect to the subject transfer, true
and correct.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest in a Rule 144A
Global Certificate may be transferred by any Certificate Owner holding such
interest to any Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified
Institutional Buyer) that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate
of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Certificate upon delivery to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar of (i) a certificate from the Certificate
Owner desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto
as EXHIBIT F-1C, (ii) such transferee certification and/or opinion as is
contemplated by the second paragraph of this SECTION 5.02(B) and (iii) such
written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures
of the Depository to direct the Trustee to debit the account of a Depository
Participant by a denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A
Global Certificate. Upon delivery to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
of the certifications and/or opinions contemplated by the second paragraph of
this SECTION 5.02(B), the Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the
applicable procedures of the Depository, shall reduce the denomination of the
subject Rule 144A Global Certificate, and cause a Definitive Certificate of the
same Class as such Rule 144A Global Certificate, and in a denomination equal to
the reduction in the denomination of such Rule 144A Global Certificate, to be
executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with this Agreement to the
applicable Transferee.
-195-
None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered
Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of any
Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein without registration or
qualification. Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Non-Registered Certificate or
interest therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, CGMI,
the Trustee, any Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if such transfer,
sale, pledge or other disposition is not exempt from the registration and/or
qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(c) No transfer of any Certificate or interest therein shall
be made to any Plan or 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 assets of a Plan, if the purchase and holding of such
Certificate or interest therein by the prospective Transferee would result in a
violation of Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or would
result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code.
Except in connection with the initial issuance of the
Certificates or any transfer of a Non-Registered Certificate by the Depositor or
an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of a Rule 144A Global Certificate,
any transfer of such Certificate to a successor Depositary or, in the case of a
Definitive Certificate issued with respect to a Rule 144A Global Certificate,
any transfer of such Certificate to the applicable Certificate Owner in
accordance with SECTION 5.03(C), the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to
register the transfer of a Non-Registered Certificate unless it has received
from the prospective Transferee one of the following: (i) a certification to the
effect that such prospective Transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or
indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as
named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) a
certification to the effect that the purchase and continued holding of such
Certificate by such prospective Transferee is exempt from the prohibited
transaction provisions of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the
Code by reason of Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
95-60; or (iii) in the case of a Non-Registered Certificate (other than a Class
R or Class V Certificate) that is rated investment grade by at least one of the
Rating Agencies and is being acquired by or on behalf of a Plan in reliance on
the Underwriter Exemption, a certification to the effect that such Plan (X) is
an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the
Securities Act, (Y) is not sponsored (within the meaning of Section 3(16)(B) of
ERISA) by the Trustee, any Exemption-Favored Party, the Depositor, any Mortgage
Loan Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, any
Person responsible for servicing the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any
[Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Property or any Borrower with respect to
Mortgage Loans constituting more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized principal
of all the Mortgage Loans determined as of the Closing Date, or by any Affiliate
of any such Person, and (Z) agrees that it will obtain from each of its
Transferees a written representation that such Transferee, if a Plan, satisfies
the requirements of the immediately preceding CLAUSES (III)(X) and (III)(Y),
together with a written agreement that such Transferee will obtain from each of
its Transferees that are Plans a similar written representation regarding
satisfaction of the requirements of the immediately preceding CLAUSES (III)(X)
and (III)(Y); or (iv) a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel (which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or the Trust) which otherwise establish to the reasonable satisfaction
of the
-196-
Certificate Registrar that such transfer will not result in a violation
of Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or result in the
imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code. It is hereby
acknowledged that the form of certification attached hereto as EXHIBIT G-1 is
acceptable for purposes of the preceding sentence.
Except in connection with the initial issuance of the
Certificates or any transfer of an interest in a Book-Entry Non-Registered
Certificate by the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, the Certificate
Owner desiring to effect a transfer of an interest in a Book-Entry
Non-Registered Certificate shall obtain from its prospective Transferee one of
the following: (i) a certification to the effect that such prospective
Transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or indirectly purchasing such
interest in such Certificate on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of,
or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) a certification to the effect that the
purchase and continued holding of an interest in such Certificate by such
prospective Transferee is exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of
Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code by reason of Sections
I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60; or (iii) if such
Certificate is not a Class R or Class Y Certificate, if such Certificate is
rated investment grade by at least one of the Rating Agencies and if the
interest in such Certificate is being acquired by or on behalf of a Plan in
reliance on the Underwriter Exemption, a certification to the effect that such
Plan (X) is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D
of the Securities Act, (Y) is not sponsored (within the meaning of Section
3(16)(B) of ERISA) by the Trustee, the Depositor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, any Person responsible
for servicing the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] or any [Separately
Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Property or any Borrower with respect to Mortgage
Loans constituting more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized principal of all
the Mortgage Loans determined as of the Closing Date, or by any Affiliate of any
such Person, and (Z) agrees that it will obtain from each of its Transferees a
written representation that such Transferee, if a Plan, satisfies the
requirements of the immediately preceding CLAUSES (II)(X) and (II)(Y), together
with a written agreement that such Transferee will obtain from each of its
Transferees that are Plans a similar written representation regarding
satisfaction of the requirements of the immediately preceding CLAUSES (II)(X)
and (II)(Y); or (iv) a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such transfer will not result in a violation of Section 406 or 407
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or result in the imposition of an excise

certification attached hereto as EXHIBIT G-2 is acceptable for purposes of the
preceding sentence.
Each Transferee of any Registered Certificate or interest
therein or of an interest in any Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificate shall be
deemed to have represented and warranted that either: (i) such Transferee is not
a Plan and is not directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest

therein by such Transferee is exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions
of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code.
(d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the
following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee under CLAUSE
(II)(A) below to deliver or cause the delivery of payments to a Person other
than such Person and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee under CLAUSE
(II)(B) below to negotiate the terms of any mandatory disposition and to execute
all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
-197-
with any such disposition. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following

Certificate until its receipt, of an affidavit
and agreement substantially in the form attached
hereto as EXHIBIT H-1 (a "TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND
AGREEMENT"), from the proposed Transferee,
representing and warranting, among other things,
that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee,
that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest
in the Class R 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 Class R Certificate it
will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee,
and that it has reviewed the provisions of this
SECTION 5.02(D) and agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee
under CLAUSE (B) above, if a Responsible Officer
of either the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree
(1) to require a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement from any prospective Transferee (other
than in connection with a transfer of a Class R
Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of
the Depositor) to whom such Person attempts to
transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R
Certificate and (2) not to transfer its
Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate
(other than in connection with a transfer of a
Class R Certificate by the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor) unless it provides
to the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee a
certificate substantially in the form attached
hereto as EXHIBIT H-2 stating that, among other
things, it has no actual knowledge that such
prospective Transferee is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate, by purchasing
such Ownership Interest, agrees to give the
Trustee written notice that it is a
"pass-through interest holder" within the
meaning of temporary Treasury regulation section
1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A)
-198-
immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate if it is, or is holding
an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate
on behalf of, a "pass-through interest holder".
(ii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a
Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of
the provisions of this SECTION 5.02(D), then the
last preceding Holder of such Class R
Certificate that was in compliance with the
provisions of this SECTION 5.02(D) shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all
rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date
of registration of such Transfer of such Class R
Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Trustee
or the Certificate Registrar shall be under any
liability to any Person for any registration of
Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by this SECTION 5.02(D) or
for making any payments due on such Certificate
to the Holder thereof or for taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a
Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of
the restrictions in this SECTION 5.02(D), then,
to the extent that retroactive restoration of
the rights of the preceding Holder of such Class
R Certificate as described in CLAUSE (II)(A)
above shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the Trustee shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to cause the transfer of
such Class R Certificate to a Permitted
Transferee selected by the Trustee on such terms
as the Trustee may choose, and the Trustee shall
not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in such Class R Certificate or any
other Person as a result of its exercise of such
discretion. Such purported Transferee shall
promptly endorse and deliver such Class R
Certificate in accordance with the instructions
of the Trustee. Such Permitted Transferee may be
the Trustee itself or any Affiliate of the
Trustee.
(iii) The Trustee shall make available to the IRS and
to those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information
furnished to it by the other parties hereto necessary to compute any
tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization,
including the information described in Treasury regulation sections
1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess
inclusions" of the Loan REMIC Residual Interests, the REMIC I Residual
Interest, the REMIC II Residual Interest and the REMIC III Residual
Interest 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 Class R Certificate having as among its record
holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization,
and each of the other parties hereto shall furnish to the Trustee all
information in its possession necessary for the Trustee to discharge
such obligation. The Person holding such Ownership Interest shall be
responsible for the reasonable compensation of the Trustee for
providing such information.
-199-
(iv) The provisions of this SECTION 5.02(D) set forth
prior to this CLAUSE (IV) may be modified, added to or eliminated,
PROVIDED that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee the
following:
(A) written confirmation from each Rating Agency to
the effect that the modification of, addition to
or elimination of such provisions will not
result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect
to any Class of Rated Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, obtained at the
expense of the party seeking such modification
of, addition to or elimination of such
provisions (but in no event at the expense of
the Trustee or the Trust), to the effect that
doing so will not (1) cause any REMIC Pool to
cease to qualify as a REMIC or be subject to an
entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any
Class R Certificate to a Person which is not a
Permitted Transferee or (2) cause a Person other
than the prospective Transferee to be subject to
a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a
Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(e) If a Person is acquiring any Non-Registered Certificate or
any interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such
Person shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar (or, in the
case of a Book-Entry Certificate, the Transferor) a certification to the effect
that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Certificate
Registrar (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, the Transferor) to
confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such
account and (ii) full power to make the applicable foregoing acknowledgments,
representations, warranties, certifications and/or agreements with respect to
each such account as set forth in SUBSECTIONS (B), (C) and/or (D), as
appropriate, of this SECTION 5.02.
(f) Subject to the preceding provisions of this SECTION 5.02,
upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the offices of
the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall
execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates
of authorized denominations of the same Class evidencing a like aggregate
Percentage Interest.
(g) At the option of any Holder, its Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same Class
evidencing a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the offices of the Certificate Registrar
maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive.
(h) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed
by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
-200-
(i) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.
(j) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange
shall be physically canceled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate
Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Certificates in accordance with its
standard procedures.
(k) The Certificate Registrar shall provide to each of the
other parties hereto, upon reasonable written request and at the expense of the
requesting party, an updated copy of the Certificate Register.
SECTION 5.03. Book-Entry Certificates.
(a) The Principal Balance Certificates and the Interest Only
Certificates shall, in the case of each Class thereof, initially be issued as
one or more Certificates registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee
and, except as provided in SECTION 5.02(B) or SECTION 5.03(C), transfer of such
Certificates may not be registered by the Certificate Registrar unless such
transfer is to a successor Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for
the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. Such
Certificate Owners shall hold and, subject to SECTION 5.02(C), transfer their
respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the
book-entry facilities of the Depository; and, except as provided in SECTION
5.02(B) or SECTION 5.03(C) below, such Certificate Owners shall not be entitled
to fully registered, physical Certificates ("DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES") in
respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of
their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or indirect participating brokerage firm representing each such Certificate
Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests
in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of
indirect participating brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance
with the Depository's normal procedures.
(b) Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, any Fiscal
Agent and the Certificate Registrar may for all purposes, including the making
of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates, deal with the Depository as the
authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to such
Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, the rights of
Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited
to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and
the Depository Participants and indirect participating brokerage firms
representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and
votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect
to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable
record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
(c) If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or
able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository
-201-
with respect to any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor, or (ii) the Depositor at its option
advises the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Depository with respect to any Class
of Book-Entry Certificates (or any portion of such Class), the Certificate
Registrar shall notify all affected Certificate Owners, through the Depository,
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to such Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to
the Certificate Registrar of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates (or any
portion of such Class) by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall
execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, the
Definitive Certificates in respect of such Class (or portion thereof) to the
Certificate Owners identified in such instructions. None of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates for purposes of evidencing
ownership of any Book-Entry Certificates, the registered holders of such
Definitive Certificates shall be recognized as Certificateholders hereunder and,
accordingly, shall be entitled directly to receive payments on, to exercise
Voting Rights with respect to, and to transfer and exchange such Definitive
Certificates.
SECTION 5.04. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the
Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii)
there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or
indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them harmless,
then, in the absence of actual notice to the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Trustee shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and like Percentage
Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable
fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected
therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as
if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.05. Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, any Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the
Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to SECTION 4.01
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, any Fiscal Agent, the Certificate
Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
-202-
SECTION 5.06. Certification by Certificate Owners.
(a) Each Certificate Owner is hereby deemed by virtue of its
acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Book-Entry Certificates to agree to
comply with the transfer requirements of SECTION 5.02(C).
(b) To the extent that under the terms of this Agreement, it
is necessary to determine whether any Person is a Certificate Owner, the Trustee
shall make such determination based on a certificate of such Person, which
certificate shall be substantially in the form of paragraph 1 of EXHIBIT K-1
hereto (or such other form as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and
shall specify the Class and Certificate Principal Balance or Certificate
Notional Amount, as the case may be, of the Book-Entry Certificate beneficially
owned; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar
shall knowingly recognize such Person as a Certificate Owner if such Person, to
the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar, as the case may be, acquired its Ownership Interest in a Book-Entry
Certificate in violation of SECTION 5.02(C), or if such Person's certification
that it is a Certificate Owner is in direct conflict with information actually
known by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, as
the case may be, with respect to the identity of a Certificate Owner. The
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall each exercise its reasonable
discretion in making any determination under this SECTION 5.06(B) and shall
afford any Person providing information with respect to its beneficial ownership
of any Book-Entry Certificate an opportunity to resolve any discrepancies
between the information provided and any other information available to the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, as the case may be.

ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR, THE MASTER SERVICER AND THE SPECIAL SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective
obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.
SECTION 6.02. Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a corporation, bank, trust company, partnership,
limited liability company, association or other legal entity under the laws of
the jurisdiction wherein it was organized, and each shall obtain and preserve
its qualification to do business as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
each may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or
substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case, any Person
resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
the business of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no successor or
surviving Person shall succeed to the rights of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer unless such succession will not result in an Adverse Rating
Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates (as confirmed in writing
to the Trustee by each Rating Agency).
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, and the Special Servicer.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or any director, manager, member, officer, employee or agent of any of
the foregoing shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Trustee or the
Certificateholders for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this
provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or any such other Person against any liability to the Trust, the
Trustee or the Certificateholders for the breach of a representation or warranty
made herein, or against any expense or liability specifically required to be
borne thereby without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof, or
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of obligations or duties hereunder,
or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations and duties. The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
-204-
Servicer and any director, officer, manager, member, employee or agent of any of
the foregoing may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, PRIMA
FACIE, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and
any director, officer, manager, member, employee or agent of any of the
foregoing shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust out of the
Collection Account, as provided in SECTION 3.05(A), against any loss, liability
or reasonable out-of-pocket cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim relating to this
Agreement, the Certificates or any asset of the Trust, other than any such loss,
liability, cost or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne thereby
pursuant to the terms hereof, including SECTION 10.01(F); (ii) that constitutes
(or, but for the failure of the subject expense to be customary, reasonable or
necessary, would constitute) a Servicing Advance that is otherwise reimbursable
pursuant to this Agreement; or (iii) which was incurred in connection with any
legal action or claim against such party resulting from (A) any breach of a
representation or warranty made herein by such party, (B) misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence in the performance of obligations or duties hereunder by such
party, or (C) negligent disregard of obligations or duties hereunder by such
party. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall
be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and,
except in the case of a legal action as to which the related costs are to be
borne by such party without right of reimbursement, in its opinion does not
involve it in any ultimate expense or liability for which reimbursement is not
reasonably assured hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action
which it may reasonably deem necessary or desirable with respect to the
enforcement and/or protection of the rights and duties of the parties hereto and
the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action, and any liability resulting therefrom, shall
be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be entitled to the direct payment
of such expenses or to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in SECTION 3.05(A).
In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special
Servicer shall have any liability with respect to, and the Master Servicer and
Special Servicer shall each be entitled to rely as to the truth of the
statements made and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein on, any
certificates or opinions furnished to, and reasonably accepted in good faith by,
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, and conforming to
the requirements of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer may
each rely in good faith on information provided to it by the other parties
hereto (unless the provider and the recipient of such information are the same
Person or Affiliates) and by the Borrowers, and will have no duty to investigate
or verify the accuracy thereof.
SECTION 6.04. Resignation of Master Servicer and Special
Servicer.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, upon a determination that
its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in
material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried
on by it (the other activities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature
carried on by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
at the date of this Agreement). Any such determination requiring the resignation
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect which shall be delivered to
the Trustee, with a copy to the Controlling
-205-
Class Representative. Unless applicable law requires the Master Servicer's or
the Special Servicer's (as the case may be) resignation to be effective
immediately, and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to the prior sentence
so states, no such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or other
successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the
resigning party in accordance with SECTION 6.06 or SECTION 7.02 hereof; PROVIDED
that, if no successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, shall
have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 90 days after the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has given notice of
such resignation, the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor thereto; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the resigning Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall, at least 10 days prior
to resigning and assigning or transferring any of its rights, benefits or
privileges hereunder, inform the Controlling Class Representative in writing of
its intent to resign and disclose to the Controlling Class Representative the
name of such assignee or transferee and the date of the proposed resignation and
transfer of servicing and the Controlling Class Representative shall not have
reasonably objected to the proposed assignee or transferee within such 10-day
period.
In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each
shall have the right to resign at any other time, PROVIDED that (i) a willing
successor thereto (including any such successor proposed by the resigning party)
reasonably acceptable to the Depositor, the Controlling Class Representative and
the Trustee has been found, (ii) each of the Rating Agencies confirms to the
Trustee in writing that the successor's appointment will not result in an
Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates, (iii) the
resigning party pays all costs and expenses in connection with such transfer,
and (iv) the successor accepts appointment prior to the effectiveness of such
resignation.
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be
permitted to resign except as contemplated above in this SECTION 6.04.
Consistent with the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special
Servicer shall (except in connection with any resignation thereby permitted
pursuant to the prior paragraph or as otherwise expressly provided herein,
including the provisions of SECTION 3.22 and/or SECTION 6.02) assign or transfer
any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person or
delegate to, subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to
perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by it
hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer are transferred to a successor thereto, the entire
amount of compensation payable to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
the case may be, that accrues pursuant hereto from and after the date of such
transfer shall be payable to such successor, except to the extent provided in
SECTION 3.11(C).
SECTION 6.05. Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in
Respect of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer.
Upon reasonable request, the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer each shall furnish the Depositor and, upon request, the Trustee with
its most recent publicly available annual audited financial statements (or, if
not available, the most recent publicly available audited annual financial
statements of its corporate parent, on a consolidated basis) and such other
information as is publicly available regarding its business, affairs, property
and condition, financial or otherwise; PROVIDED that neither the Depositor nor
the Trustee may disclose the contents of such financial statements or other
information to non-affiliated third parties (other than accountants, attorneys,
financial advisors and other representatives retained to help it evaluate such
financial statements or other information), unless it is
-206-
required to do so under applicable securities laws or is otherwise compelled to
do so as a matter of law. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may
affix to any such information described in this SECTION 6.05 provided by it any
disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion. The Depositor may,
but is not obligated to, enforce the respective obligations of the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to,
perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be relieved of any of its
obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its
designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any
action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and is
not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 6.06. Designation of Special Servicer by Certain
Certificateholders.
(a) The Holder or Holders of Certificates representing more
than 50% of the Class Principal Balance of the Controlling Class may at any time
and from time to time designate a Person (other than the Trustee) to replace any
existing Special Servicer or any Special Servicer that has resigned or otherwise
ceased to serve as Special Servicer. Such Holder or Holders shall so designate a
Person to so serve as successor special servicer by the delivery to the Trustee,
the Master Servicer and the existing Special Servicer of a written notice
stating such designation. The Trustee shall, promptly after receiving any such
notice, deliver to the Rating Agencies an executed Notice and Acknowledgment in
the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT I-1. The designated Person shall become the
Special Servicer on the date as of which the Trustee shall have received: (i)
written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies that the appointment of
such Person as Special Servicer will not result in an Adverse Rating Event with
respect to any Class of Rated Certificates; (ii) an Acknowledgment of Proposed
Special Servicer in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT I-2, executed by the
designated Person; and (iii) an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Trust) substantially to the effect that (A) the
designation of such Person to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with
this SECTION 6.06, (B) the designated Person is duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (C)
the Acknowledgment of Proposed Special Servicer has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the designated Person and (D) upon the execution and
delivery of the Acknowledgment of Proposed Special Servicer, the designated
Person shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement and, subject to customary
bankruptcy and insolvency exceptions and customary equity exceptions, that this
Agreement shall be enforceable against the designated Person in accordance with
its terms. Any existing Special Servicer shall be deemed to have been terminated
simultaneously with such designated Person's becoming the Special Servicer
hereunder; PROVIDED that (i) the terminated Special Servicer shall be entitled
to receive, in connection with its termination, payment out of the Collection
Account of all of its accrued and unpaid Special Servicing Fees to which it is
entitled and reimbursement from the successor special servicer of all
outstanding Servicing Advances made by the terminated Special Servicer and all
unpaid Advance Interest accrued on such outstanding Servicing Advances (in which
case the successor special servicer shall be deemed to have made such Servicing
Advances at the same time that the terminated Special Servicer had actually made
them), (ii) the terminated Special Servicer shall be entitled to any Workout
Fees thereafter received on any Serviced Mortgage Loans as to which it was the
Special Servicer and that were Corrected Serviced Mortgage Loans at the time of
the termination (but only if and to the extent permitted by SECTION 3.11(C)),
and
-207-
(iii) the terminated Special Servicer shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of SECTION 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination; and PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that the terminated Special Servicer shall continue to be obligated to
pay and entitled to receive all other amounts accrued or owing by or to it under
this Agreement on or prior to the effective date of such termination. Such
terminated Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and the replacement
Special Servicer in effecting the transfer of the terminated Special Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder to its successor, including the transfer
within two Business Days to the replacement Special Servicer for administration
by it of all cash amounts that at the time are or should have been credited by
the Special Servicer to the REO Account or to any Servicing Account or Reserve
Account or should have been delivered to the Master Servicer or that are
thereafter received by or on behalf of it with respect to any Mortgage Loan or
REO Property. If the termination of the Special Servicer was without cause, the
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any such transfer shall in no
event be paid out of the Trust Fund, and instead shall be paid by the successor
special servicer or the Holders of the Controlling Class that voted to remove
the Special Servicer, as such parties may agree.
(b) If the Controlling Class of Certificates are Book-Entry
Certificates, then the rights set forth in SECTION 6.06(A) with respect to
replacing the Special Servicer may be exercised by the related Certificate
Owners holding beneficial ownership of Certificates representing more than 50%
of the Class Principal Balance of the Controlling Class.
SECTION 6.07. Master Servicer or Special Servicer as Owner of
a Certificate.
The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer may become the
Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with
respect to) any Certificate with (except as otherwise set forth in the
definition of "Certificateholder") the same rights it would have if it were not
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or an Affiliate
thereof. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the
Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with
respect to) any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, proposes to take any action (including for this purpose, omitting
to take a particular action) that is not expressly prohibited by the terms
hereof and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, violate the Servicing Standard, but that,
if taken, might nonetheless, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, be considered by other Persons to
violate the Servicing Standard, then the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, may (but need not) seek the approval of the
Certificateholders to such action by delivering to the Trustee a written notice
that (a) states that it is delivered pursuant to this SECTION 6.07, (b)
identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially
owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or by
an Affiliate thereof and (c) describes in reasonable detail the action that the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, proposes to take.
The Trustee, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the
Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the
Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate), together with a request
for approval by the Certificateholders of each such proposed action. If at any
time Certificateholders holding greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of all
Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially
owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its
Affiliates, as the case may be) shall have consented in writing to the proposal
described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, shall act as proposed in the written notice,
-208-
such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Trustee
shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, for the reasonable expenses of the Trustee incurred
pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure
set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder,
but rather in the case of unusual circumstances.

Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, by any other
party hereto or to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, with a copy to each other party hereto, by the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, or by the
Controlling Class Representative; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect
to any such failure that is not curable within such 30-day period, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have

Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has
commenced to cure such failure within
-210-
the initial 30-day period and has provided the Trustee with an
Officer's Certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is
continuing to pursue, a full cure; or
(vii) any breach on the part of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer of any representation or warranty contained in
this Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of
any Class of Certificateholders and which 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 or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, by any other
party hereto or to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, with a copy to each other party hereto, by the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights or by the
Controlling Class Representative; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, with respect
to any such breach that is not curable within such 30-day period, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have
an additional cure period of 30 days to effect such cure so long as the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has
commenced to cure such breach within the initial 30-day period and has
provided the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate certifying that it
has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, a full cure; or
(viii) a decree or order of a court or agency or

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 or the Special Servicer and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged, undismissed or unstayed for a period of
60 days; or
(ix) the Master Servicer or the Special 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 it or of or relating to all or
substantially all of its property; or
(x) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall
admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they
become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations, or take any corporate action in furtherance of the
foregoing; or
(xi) [▇▇▇▇▇'▇] has (A) qualified, downgraded or
withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Certificates,
or (B) placed one or more Classes of Certificates on "watch status" in
contemplation of possible rating downgrade or withdrawal (and such
"watch status" placement shall not have been withdrawn by [▇▇▇▇▇'▇]
within 60 days of such placement, and, in the case of either CLAUSE (A)
or (B), cited servicing concerns with the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer as the sole factor or a contributory factor in such
rating action (it being understood and agreed that servicing concerns
shall be deemed not to be a "contributory factor" if the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer establishes to a reasonable degree that
such rating action would have occurred without regard to such servicing
concerns); or
-211-
(xii) the Master Servicer is removed from [S&P]'s
approved master servicer list or the Special Servicer is removed from
[S&P]'s approved special servicer list, and the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be, is not restored to such list
within 60 days after its removal from such list (or within such longer
period (not to exceed an additional 30 days) so long as [S&P] has not
qualified, downgraded or withdrawn (or threatened in writing to
qualify, downgrade or withdraw) any of its ratings of the respective
Classes of Rated Certificates because of such removal).
When a single entity acts as Master Servicer and Special
Servicer, an Event of Default (other than an event described in CLAUSES (XI) and
(XII) above) in one capacity shall constitute an Event of Default in the other
such capacity.
(b) If any Event of Default with respect to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this SECTION
7.01(B), the "DEFAULTING PARTY") shall occur and be continuing, then, and in
each and every such case, so long as the Event of Default shall not have been
remedied, the Depositor and Trustee each may, and at the written direction of
either the Controlling Class Representative or the Holders of Certificates
entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall (subject
to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law in the case of CLAUSES (VIII) through
(X) of SECTION 7.01(A)), terminate, by notice in writing to the Defaulting Party
(with a copy of such notice to each other party hereto), all of the rights and
obligations (accruing from and after such notice) of the Defaulting Party under
this Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund (other than as a Holder of any
Certificate). From and after the receipt by the Defaulting Party of such written
notice, all authority and power of the Defaulting Party under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any
Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in
the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
and at the expense of the Defaulting Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,
any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other
acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer each agrees that, if it is terminated pursuant to this
SECTION 7.01(B), it shall promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business
Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee
or its designee with all documents and records requested thereby to enable the
Trustee to assume the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's, as the case
may be, functions hereunder, and shall otherwise cooperate with the Trustee in
effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's, as
the case may be, responsibilities and rights hereunder, including the transfer
within two Business Days to the Trustee or its designee for administration by it
of all cash amounts that at the time are or should have been credited by the
Master Servicer to the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or any
Servicing Account or Reserve Account held by it (if it is the Defaulting Party)
or by the Special Servicer to the REO Account, the Collection Account or any
Servicing Account or Reserve Account held by it (if it is the Defaulting Party)
or that are thereafter received by or on behalf of it with respect to any
Mortgage Loan or REO Property (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer each shall, if terminated pursuant to this SECTION 7.01(B),
continue to be obligated to pay and entitled to receive all amounts accrued or
owing by or to it (including any which will be payable after termination) under
this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect
of Advances or otherwise, and it and its members, managers, directors, officers,
employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to
-212-
the benefits of SECTION 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination). Any costs or
expenses (including those of any other party hereto) incurred in connection with
any actions to be taken by a terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer
pursuant to this paragraph shall be borne by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be (and, in the case of the Trustee's costs and
expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time, shall be borne by the Trust out
of the Collection Account.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer resigns pursuant to the first paragraph of SECTION 6.04 or receives a
notice of termination pursuant to SECTION 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to
SECTION 6.06, be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its capacity as such under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be
subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and
arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, by the terms and provisions hereof, including, if the Master
Servicer is the resigning or terminated party, the Master Servicer's obligation
to make P&I Advances; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any failure to perform such duties
or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's,
as the case may be, failure to cooperate or to provide information or monies as
required by SECTION 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee
hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor shall be liable for any
of the representations and warranties of the resigning or terminated party or
for any losses incurred by the resigning or terminated party pursuant to SECTION
3.06 hereunder nor shall the Trustee nor any other successor be required to
purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee
shall be entitled to all fees and other compensation (exclusive, if applicable,
of the Excess Servicing Fees) which the resigning or terminated party would have
been entitled to for future services rendered if the resigning or terminated
party had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, if it is
unwilling to so act, the Trustee may (and, if it is unable to so act, or if the
Trustee is not approved as an acceptable master servicer or special servicer, as
the case may be, by each Rating Agency, or if the Holders of Certificates
entitled to a majority of all the Voting Rights or the Controlling Class
Representative so request in writing, the Trustee shall), subject to SECTION
6.06 (if applicable), promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established and qualified institution with a net
worth of at least $10 million as the successor to the resigning or terminated
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such appointment does not result in an Adverse Rating
Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates (as confirmed in writing
to the Trustee by each Rating Agency); and, PROVIDED, FURTHER, that such
successor is reasonably acceptable to the Controlling Class Representative. No
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all its
responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder, and pending such appointment
and assumption, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.
In connection with any such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make
such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the
Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the
resigning or terminated party hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee, such
successor and each other party hereto shall take such action, consistent with
this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
-213-
If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this SECTION
7.02 as successor to the Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee
Rate to the extent that its or such Affiliate's compensation as successor Master
Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the
Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the Master Servicer other than itself
or an Affiliate pursuant to this SECTION 7.02, it may reduce the Excess
Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of
the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer
that meets the requirements of this SECTION 7.02.
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer pursuant to SECTION 6.04, any termination of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer pursuant to SECTION 7.01, any appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to SECTION 6.02, 6.04 or 7.02
or the effectiveness of any designation of a new Special Servicer pursuant to
SECTION 6.06, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.
(b) Not later than the later of (i) 60 days after the
occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or
both, would constitute an Event of Default and (ii) five days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of
such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and the
Certificateholders notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have
been cured.
SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66-2/3% of
the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates affected by any Event
of Default hereunder may waive such Event of Default; PROVIDED that an Event of
Default under CLAUSE (I), CLAUSE (II), CLAUSE (III), CLAUSE (XI) or CLAUSE (XII)
of SECTION 7.01(A) may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders; and
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if the Trustee was required to expend any monies in
connection with any Event of Default, then such Event of Default may not be
waived unless and until those monies have been reimbursed to the Trustee, with
interest, by the Defaulting Party. Upon any such waiver of an Event of Default,
such Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon
except to the extent expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Event of Default pursuant to this
SECTION 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any
Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with
respect to the matters described above as they would if registered in the name
of any other Person.
SECTION 7.05. Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of
Default.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as
such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to
the rights specified in SECTION 7.01, shall have the right (exercisable subject
to SECTION 8.01(A)), in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, to take
all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce
its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and
remedies, of the Certificateholders (including the
-214-
institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other
proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.
SECTION 7.06. Replacement of [Separately Serviced Mortgage
Loan] Special Servicer.
The Trustee may (and, at the direction of the Controlling
Class Representative or of Certificateholders representing at least 25% of the
Voting Rights, shall) consent to the termination and replacement of, or exercise
such rights as may be granted to it under the [Separately Serviced Mortgage
Loan] Intercreditor Agreements and/or any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan]
Servicing Agreement to terminate and replace, the [Separately Serviced Mortgage
Loan] Special Servicer; PROVIDED that the Trustee shall first obtain written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that its granting such consent or
exercising such rights shall not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect
to any Class of Rated Certificates. The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall
each notify the other such party, the Certificateholders, the Controlling Class
Representative and the Rating Agencies of any [Other CMBS Series] Event of
Default known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or a Servicing Officer of
the Master Servicer, as the case may be, in the same manner as it would notify
such parties of an Event of Default hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII
THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of his own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee contained in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty. The Trustee shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective obligations
specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Trustee.
(b) Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement (other than the Mortgage Files, the review of which
is specifically governed by the terms of ARTICLE II), the Trustee shall examine
them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If
any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this
Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems
appropriate to have the instrument corrected. The Trustee shall not be
responsible or liable for the accuracy or content of any resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument
furnished by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any
actual or prospective Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or either Rating
Agency, and reasonably accepted by the Trustee in good faith, pursuant to this
Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to
relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default,
and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have
occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined
solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall
not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants
or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee.
(ii) In the absence of bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
the requirements of this Agreement.
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of such entity unless it shall be proved that such entity was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
-216-
(iv) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by the Trustee, in
good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% (or, as to any particular matter, any higher
percentage as may be specifically provided for hereunder) of the Voting
Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement.
(v) The Trustee shall not be required to take action
with respect to, or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of, any
default or Event of Default or the Master Servicer's failure to deliver
any monies, including P&I Advances, or to provide any report,
certificate or statement, to the Trustee when required pursuant to this
Agreement, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice or otherwise have actual knowledge thereof.
Otherwise, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no such
default or Event of Default.
(vi) Subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement, and without limiting the generality of this SECTION 8.01,
the Trustee shall not have any duty, except as expressly provided in
SECTION 2.01(C) or SECTION 2.01(E) or in its capacity as successor
Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, (A) to cause any
recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement
referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement
evidencing a security interest, or to cause the maintenance of any such
recording or filing or depositing or to any re-recording, refiling or
redepositing of any thereof, (B) to cause the maintenance of any
insurance, (C) to confirm or verify the truth, accuracy or contents of
any reports or certificates of the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, any actual or prospective or any Certificateholder or
Certificate Owner or either Rating Agency, delivered to the Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement and reasonably believed by the Trustee to be
genuine and without error and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties, (D) subject to SECTION 10.01(F), to see to the
payment or discharge of any tax levied against any part of the Trust
Fund other than from funds available in the Collection Account or the
Distribution Account, and (E) to see to the payment of any assessment
or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind
owing with respect to, or assessed or levied against, any part of the
Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Collection Account or
Distribution Account (PROVIDED that such assessment, charge, lien or
encumbrance did not arise out of the Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence).
(vii) For as long as the Trustee hereunder also
serves as Custodian and/or Certificate Registrar, the protections,
immunities and indemnities afforded to that Person in its capacity as
Trustee hereunder shall also be afforded to such Person in its capacity
as Custodian and/or Certificate Registrar, as the case may be.
-217-
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in SECTION 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may rely upon and shall be protected
in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed
by it to be genuine and without error and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any
written advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith;
(iii) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or
to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless
(in the Trustee's reasonable opinion) such Certificateholders shall
have provided to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against
the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby; the Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own
funds (except to pay expenses that could reasonably be expected to be
incurred in connection with the performance of its normal duties) or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
nothing contained herein shall relieve the Trustee of the obligation,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which has not been waived or
cured, to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of his own affairs;
(iv) neither the Trustee nor any Fiscal Agent
appointed thereby shall be personally liable for any action reasonably
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
it by this Agreement;
(v) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
and after the waiver or curing of all Events of Default which may have
occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so
by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the payment within a reasonable time
to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion
of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
an indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, in its reasonable discretion,
against such expense or liability as a condition to taking any such
action;
-218-
(vi) except as contemplated by SECTIONS 8.06 and
8.14, the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in
respect of the execution of the trusts created hereby or the powers
granted hereunder;
(vii) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
powers vested in it by this Agreement and perform any of its duties
hereunder, either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact, PROVIDED that the use of agents or attorneys-in-fact
shall not be deemed to relieve the Trustee of any of its duties and
obligations hereunder (except as expressly set forth herein);
(viii) neither the Trustee nor any Fiscal Agent
appointed thereby shall be responsible for any act or omission of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (unless, in the case of the
Trustee, it is acting as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the
case may be) or of the Depositor; and
(ix) neither the Trustee nor the Certificate
Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or
inquire as to compliance with any restriction on transfer imposed under
ARTICLE V under this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to
any transfer of any Certificate or any interest therein, other than to
require delivery of the certification(s) and/or Opinions of Counsel
described in said Article applicable with respect to changes in
registration or record ownership of Certificates in the Certificate
Register and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance
with the express requirements of this Agreement; and the Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar shall have no liability for transfers,
including transfers made through the book-entry facilities of the
Depository or between or among Depository Participants or beneficial
owners of the Certificates, made in violation of applicable

connection with changes in registration or record ownership in the
Certificate Register.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee and Fiscal Agent Not Liable for Validity
or Sufficiency of Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the statements attributed to, and the representations and warranties of,
the Trustee and/or any Fiscal Agent in ARTICLE II and/or any Fiscal Agent
Agreement, and the signature of the Certificate Registrar set forth on each
outstanding Certificate) shall not be taken as the statements of the Trustee or
any Fiscal Agent, and neither the Trustee nor any Fiscal Agent assumes any
responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor any Fiscal Agent
makes any representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement
(except as regards the enforceability of this Agreement against it) or of any
Certificate (other than as to the signature of the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar set forth thereon) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document.
Neither the Trustee nor any Fiscal Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates issued to it or of the
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Depositor in respect of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the
Trust, or any funds deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any
other account by or on behalf of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer (unless, in the case of the Trustee, it is acting in such
capacity). Neither the Trustee nor any Fiscal Agent shall be responsible for the
legality or validity of this Agreement (other than insofar as it relates to the
obligations of the Trustee or such Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, hereunder)
or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of
-219-
any security, lien or security interest granted to it hereunder or the filing of
any financing statements or continuation statements, except to the extent set
forth in SECTION 2.01(C) and SECTION 2.01(E) or to the extent the Trustee is
acting as Master Servicer or Special Servicer and the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, would be so responsible hereunder. Neither
the Trustee nor any Fiscal Agent shall be required to record this Agreement.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee and Fiscal Agent May Own Certificates.
The Trustee (in its individual or any other capacity), any
Fiscal Agent or any of their respective Affiliates may become the owner or
pledgee of Certificates with (except as otherwise provided in the definition of
"Certificateholder") the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee,
such Fiscal Agent or one of their Affiliates, as the case may be.
SECTION 8.05. Fees and Expenses of the Trustee and any Fiscal
Agent; Indemnification of and by the Trustee and
any Fiscal Agent.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from
the Distribution Account, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and
REO Properties on deposit therein, prior to any distributions to be made
therefrom to Certificateholders on such date, and pay to itself all Trustee's
Fees earned in respect of the Mortgage Pool for such Distribution Date and, to
the extent not previously paid, for any prior Distribution Date, as compensation
for all services rendered by it hereunder. As to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan
in the Mortgage Pool, for any Distribution Date, the Trustee's Fee shall accrue
during the related Interest Accrual Period for the Certificates, at the
Trustee's Fee Rate on a principal amount equal to the Stated Principal Balance
of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, immediately prior to such
Distribution Date. With respect to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan in the
Mortgage Pool, the Trustee's Fee shall be calculated on the same Interest
Accrual Basis as is applicable to the accrual or deemed accrual of interest on
such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be. The Trustee's Fees (which
shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust) shall constitute the sole compensation of the
Trustee for such services to be rendered by it. The Trustee shall be responsible
for the fees of any Fiscal Agent, Custodian and Certificate Registrar.
(b) The Trustee, any Fiscal Agent and any of their respective
directors, officers, employees or agents are entitled to be indemnified and held
harmless out of the Collection Account and/or the Distribution Account, as and
to the extent provided in SECTION 3.05, for and against any loss, liability,
claim or expense (including costs and expenses of litigation, and of
investigation, counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement)
arising out of, or incurred in connection with, this Agreement, the
Certificates, the Mortgage Loans (unless, in the case of the Trustee, it incurs
any such expense or liability in the capacity of successor Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, in which case such expense or liability will be reimbursable
thereto in the same manner as it would be for any other Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be) or any act or omission of the Trustee or
such Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, relating to the exercise and performance
of any of its rights and duties in such capacity hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that neither the Trustee nor any Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this SECTION 8.05(B) for (1) allocable overhead,
such as costs for office space, office equipment, supplies and related expenses,
employee salaries and related expenses and similar internal costs and expenses,
(2) any cost or expense that does not constitute an "unanticipated expense"
within the meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), (3) any
expense or
-220-
liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the
terms hereof or (4) any loss, liability, claim or expense incurred by reason of
any breach on the part of the Trustee or such Fiscal Agent, as the case may be,
of any of their respective representations, warranties or covenants contained
herein or any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance
of, or negligent disregard of, the Trustee's or such Fiscal Agent's, as the case
may be, obligations and duties hereunder.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall
indemnify the Trustee and any Fiscal Agent for and hold each of them harmless
against any loss, liability, claim or expense that is a result of the Master
Servicer's or the Special Servicer's, as the case may be, negligence in the
performance of, or negligent disregard of, its obligations and duties under this
Agreement (including the negligent use by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, of any powers of attorney delivered to it by the
Trustee pursuant to the provisions hereof) and the Mortgage Loans serviced by
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, if the Trustee or any Fiscal Agent has been reimbursed for such
loss, liability, claim or expense pursuant to SECTION 8.05(B) or any Fiscal
Agent has been reimbursed for such loss, liability, claim or expense pursuant to
SECTION 8.13, then the indemnity in favor of such Person provided for in this
SECTION 8.05(C) with respect to such loss, liability, claim or expense shall be
for the benefit of the Trust.
(d) Each of the Trustee and any Fiscal Agent shall indemnify
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer for and hold each of them harmless
against any loss, liability, claim or expense that is a result of the Trustee's
or such Fiscal Agent's, as the case may be, negligence in the performance of, or
negligent disregard of, its obligations and duties under this Agreement;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has been
reimbursed for such loss, liability, claim or expense pursuant to SECTION 6.03,
then the indemnity in favor of such Person provided for in this SECTION 8.05(D)
with respect to such loss, liability, claim or expense shall be for the benefit
of the Trust.
(e) This SECTION 8.05 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee, any Fiscal Agent, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as regards rights and obligations prior
to such termination, resignation or removal.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee shall at all times be a corporation, bank, trust
company or association that: (i) is organized and doing business under the laws
of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of
Columbia; (ii) is authorized under such laws to exercise trust powers; (iii) has
a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000; and (iv) is subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation,
bank, trust company or association publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital
and surplus of such corporation, bank, trust company or association shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In addition: (i) the Trustee shall at all
times meet the requirements of Section 26(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act;
and (ii) the Trustee shall not have any affiliations or, except as contemplated
by SECTION 7.02, act in any other capacity with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby that would cause the Underwriter Exemption to be unavailable
with respect to any Class of Certificates as to which it would otherwise be
available. Furthermore, the Trustee shall at all times maintain a long-term
unsecured debt rating of no less than "___" from [Rating Agency No. 1] and "___"
from [Rating Agency No. 2] (or, in the case of either
-221-
Rating Agency, such lower rating as will not result in an Adverse Rating Event
with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates (as confirmed in writing to the
Trustee and the Depositor by such Rating Agency)); PROVIDED that the Trustee
shall not cease to be eligible to serve as such based on a failure to satisfy
such rating requirements so long as either: (i) the Trustee maintains a
long-term unsecured debt rating of no less than "___" from [Rating Agency No. 1]
and "___" from [Rating Agency No. 2] (or, in the case of either Rating Agency,
such lower rating as will not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to
any Class of Rated Certificates (as confirmed in writing to the Trustee and the
Depositor by such Rating Agency)) and a Fiscal Agent meeting the requirements of
SECTION 8.13 has been appointed by the Trustee and is then currently serving in
such capacity; or (ii) the Trustee maintains a long-term unsecured debt rating
of no less than "___" from [Rating Agency No. 1] and "___" from [Rating Agency
No. 2] (or, in the case of either Rating Agency, such lower rating as will not
result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated
Certificates (as confirmed in writing to the Trustee and the Depositor by such
Rating Agency)) and an Advance Security Arrangement meeting the requirements of
SECTION 8.14 has been established by the Trustee and is then currently being
maintained. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this SECTION 8.06, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in SECTION 8.07. The
corporation, bank, trust company or association serving as Trustee may have
normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor, each Mortgage Loan
Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and their respective
Affiliates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that none of (i) the Depositor, (ii) any Person
involved in the organization or operation of the Depositor or the Trust, (iii)
any Mortgage Loan Seller or (iv) any Affiliate of any of them, may be the
Trustee hereunder.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from
the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the
Controlling Class Representative, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and
all the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee reasonably acceptable to
the Controlling Class Representative meeting the eligibility requirements of
SECTION 8.06, by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor trustee. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to other parties hereto and to the
Certificateholders by the Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of SECTION 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor or the Master Servicer or if at any
time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt
or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, or if the Trustee's continuing to act in such capacity would (as
confirmed in writing to any party hereto by either Rating Agency) result in an
Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates, then the
Depositor may (and, if it fails to do so within ten Business Days, the Master
Servicer shall as soon as practicable) remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the other parties hereto and to the
Certificateholders by the Depositor (or the Master Servicer, as the case may
be).
-222-
(c) The Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 51%
of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such
Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which
instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor (with copies to the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer), one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. All expenses incurred by the
Trustee in connection with its transfer of the Mortgages Files to a successor
trustee following the removal of the Trustee without cause pursuant to this
SECTION 8.07(C), shall be reimbursed to the removed Trustee within 30 days of
demand therefor, such reimbursement to be made by the Certificateholders that
terminated the Trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
other parties hereto and to the remaining Certificateholders by the successor so
appointed.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment
of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this SECTION 8.07
shall not become effective until (i) acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee as provided in SECTION 8.08 and (ii) if neither the successor trustee
nor any Fiscal Agent appointed by it has a long-term unsecured debt rating of at
least "___" from [Rating Agency No. 1] and "___" from [Rating Agency No. 2], the
Trustee and the Depositor have received written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that has not so assigned such a rating, to the effect that the
appointment of such successor trustee shall not result in an Adverse Rating
Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in SECTION
8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and its predecessor trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. If the Trustee is
being replaced, the predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee
all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder
(other than any Mortgage Files at the time held on its behalf by a Custodian,
which Custodian shall become the agent of the successor trustee), and the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the predecessor trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the
successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations, and to enable
the successor trustee to perform its obligations hereunder.
(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided
in this SECTION 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of SECTION 8.06.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this SECTION 8.08, such successor trustee shall mail notice of the
succession of such trustee hereunder to the Depositor and the
Certificateholders.
-223-
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity
succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee shall be the successor
of the Trustee hereunder, PROVIDED such entity shall be eligible under the
provisions of SECTION 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be
located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power
and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title
to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
this SECTION 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after
the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case an Event of Default in
respect of the Master Servicer shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as
a successor trustee under SECTION 8.06, and no notice to Holders of Certificates
of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required
under SECTION 8.08.
(b) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this SECTION 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and
obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
co-trustee jointly, 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 when acting as Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder), the
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction)
shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the
direction of the Trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this ARTICLE VIII. 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.
-224-
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
(e) The appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under
this SECTION 8.10 shall not relieve the Trustee of its duties and
responsibilities hereunder.
SECTION 8.11. Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may, upon prior written notice to the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative, appoint
at the Trustee's own expense one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of
the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee; PROVIDED that each Custodian shall
be a depositary institution supervised and regulated by a federal or state
banking authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least
$10,000,000, shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it
holds any Mortgage File, shall not be the Depositor, any Mortgage Loan Seller or
any Affiliate of the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall have in
place a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy, each in such form and
amount as is customarily required of custodians acting on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac
or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae. Each Custodian shall be subject to the same obligations, standard
of care, protection and indemnities as would be imposed on, or would protect,
the Trustee hereunder in connection with the retention of Mortgage Files
directly by the Trustee. The appointment of one or more Custodians shall not
relieve the Trustee from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Trustee shall
remain responsible for all acts and omissions of any Custodian.
SECTION 8.12. Access to Certain Information.
(a) The Trustee shall afford to the Depositor, the
Underwriters, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class
Representative and each Rating Agency and to the OTS, the FDIC and any other
banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, access to any documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans or the other assets of the Trust Fund that are in its
possession or within its control. Such access shall be afforded without charge
but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours
at the offices of the Trustee designated by it.
(b) The Trustee shall maintain at its offices and, upon
reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours, shall make
available, or cause to be made available, for review by the Rating Agencies, the
other parties hereto, the Controlling Class Representative and, subject to the
succeeding paragraph, any Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or Person
identified to the Trustee as a prospective Transferee of a Certificate or an
interest therein, originals and/or copies of the following items (to the extent
such items were prepared by or delivered to the Trustee): (i) the Prospectus,
the Memorandum and any other disclosure document relating to the Certificates,
in the form most recently provided to the Trustee by the Depositor or by any
Person designated by the Depositor; (ii) this Agreement, each Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, and any amendments and exhibits hereto or thereto; (iii) all
Statements to Certificateholders and any files and reports comprising the CMSA
Investor Reporting Package actually delivered or otherwise made available by the
Trustee to
-225-
Certificateholders pursuant to SECTION 4.02(A) since the Closing Date; (iv) all
Annual Performance Certifications delivered by the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer, respectively, to the Trustee since the Closing Date; (v) all
Annual Accountants' Reports caused to be delivered by the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer, respectively, to the Trustee since the Closing Date; (vi)
any and all notices and reports delivered to the Trustee with respect to any
Mortgaged Property as to which the environmental testing contemplated by SECTION
3.09(C) revealed that neither of the conditions set forth in CLAUSES (I) and
(II) of the first sentence thereof was satisfied; (vii) each of the Mortgage
Files, including any and all modifications, waivers and amendments of the terms
of a Mortgage Loan entered into or consented to by the Special Servicer and
delivered to the Trustee or any Custodian on its behalf pursuant to SECTION
3.20, and a current report from the Trustee listing all outstanding exceptions
to the Mortgage File review conducted pursuant to SECTION 2.02; (viii) any and
all Officer's Certificates and other evidence delivered to or by the Trustee to
support its, the Master Servicer's, the Special Servicer's or any Fiscal
Agent's, as the case may be, determination that any Advance was (or, if made,
would be) a Nonrecoverable Advance; and (ix) any other information that may be
necessary to satisfy the requirements of subsection (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A under
the Securities Act. The Trustee shall provide, or cause to be provided, copies
of any and all of the foregoing items upon request of any of the parties set
forth in the previous sentence; however, except in the case of the Rating
Agencies and the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee shall be
permitted to require payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs
and expenses of providing such copies.
In connection with providing, or causing to be provided,
access to or copies of the items described in the preceding paragraph pursuant
to this SECTION 8.12(B), the Trustee shall require: (a) in the case of
Certificateholders and Certificate Owners, a written confirmation executed by
the requesting Person substantially in the form of EXHIBIT K-1 hereto (or such
other form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) generally to the
effect that such Person is a Holder or Certificate Owner of Certificates and,
subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, will keep such information
confidential (except that such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may
provide such information to its auditors, legal counsel and regulators and to
any other Person that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Certificate
or interest therein, PROVIDED that such other Person confirms in writing such
ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and agrees to keep such
information confidential); and (b) in the case of a prospective purchaser of a
Certificate or an interest therein, confirmation executed by the requesting
Person substantially in the form of EXHIBIT K-2 hereto (or such other form as
may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) generally to the effect that such
Person is a prospective purchaser of a Certificate or an interest therein, is
requesting the information for use in evaluating a possible investment in
Certificates and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, will otherwise
keep such information confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or prospective Certificateholder or
Certificate Owner need keep confidential any information received from the
Trustee pursuant to this SECTION 8.12(B) that has previously been filed with the
Commission, and the Trustee shall not require either of the certifications
contemplated by the preceding sentence in connection with providing any
information pursuant to this SECTION 8.12(B) that has previously been filed with
the Commission.
(c) The Trustee shall not be liable for providing or
disseminating information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
-226-
SECTION 8.13. Appointment of Fiscal Agent.
(a) Insofar as the Trustee would not otherwise satisfy the
rating requirements of SECTION 8.06, the Trustee may appoint, at the Trustee's
own expense, a Fiscal Agent for purposes of making Advances hereunder that are
otherwise required to be made by the Trustee. Any Fiscal Agent shall at all
times maintain a long-term unsecured debt rating of no less than "___" from
[Rating Agency No. 1] and "___" from [Rating Agency No. 2] (or, in the case of
either Rating Agency, such lower rating as will not result in an Adverse Rating
Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates (as confirmed in writing
to the Trustee and the Depositor by such Rating Agency)). Any Person so
appointed by the Trustee pursuant to this SECTION 8.13(A) shall become the
Fiscal Agent on the date as of which the Trustee and the Depositor have
received: (i) if the long-term unsecured debt of the designated Person is not
rated at least "___" by [Rating Agency No. 1] and "___" by [Rating Agency No.
2], written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the appointment of such
designated Person will not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any
Class of Rated Certificates; (ii) a written agreement whereby the designated
Person is appointed as, and agrees to assume and perform the duties of, Fiscal
Agent hereunder, executed by such designated Person and the Trustee (such
agreement, the "FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENT"); and (iii) an Opinion of Counsel (which
shall be paid for by the designated Person or the Trustee) substantially to the
effect that (A) the appointment of the designated Person to serve as Fiscal
Agent is in compliance with this SECTION 8.13, (B) the designated Person is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, (C) the related Fiscal Agent Agreement has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the designated Person and (D)
upon execution and delivery of the related Fiscal Agent Agreement, the
designated Person shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement and, subject to
customary bankruptcy and insolvency exceptions and customary equity exceptions,
that this Agreement shall be enforceable against the designated Person in
accordance with its terms. Any Person that acts as Fiscal Agent shall, for so
long as it so acts, be deemed a party to this Agreement for all purposes hereof.
Pursuant to the related Fiscal Agent Agreement, each Fiscal Agent, if any, shall
make representations and warranties with respect to itself that are comparable
to those made by the Trustee pursuant to SECTION 2.07. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any Fiscal Agent shall be entitled
to all limitations on liability, rights of reimbursement and indemnities to
which the Trustee is entitled hereunder (including pursuant to SECTIONS 8.05(B)
and 8.05(C)) as if it were the Trustee.
(b) To the extent that the Trustee is required, pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, to make any Advance, whether as successor Master
Servicer or otherwise, and has failed to do so in accordance with the terms
hereof, the Fiscal Agent (if any) shall make such Advance when and as required
by the terms of this Agreement on behalf the Trustee as if such Fiscal Agent
were the Trustee hereunder. To the extent that the Fiscal Agent (if any) makes
an Advance pursuant to this SECTION 8.13 or otherwise pursuant to this
Agreement, the obligations of the Trustee under this Agreement in respect of
such Advance shall be satisfied.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, any Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to all limitations on
liability, rights of reimbursement and indemnities to which the Trustee is
entitled hereunder (including pursuant to SECTIONS 8.05(B) and 8.05(C)) as if it
were the Trustee, except that all fees and expenses of any Fiscal Agent (other
than interest owed to such Fiscal Agent in respect of unreimbursed Advances)
incurred by such Fiscal Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement shall be borne by the Trustee, and neither the Trustee nor
-227-
such Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from any of the
Trust, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.
(d) The obligations of any Fiscal Agent set forth in this
SECTION 8.13 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement shall exist only for so
long as the Trustee that appointed it shall act as Trustee hereunder. Any Fiscal
Agent may resign or be removed by the Trustee only if and when the existence of
such Fiscal Agent is no longer necessary for such Trustee to satisfy the
eligibility requirements of SECTION 8.06; PROVIDED that any Fiscal Agent shall
be deemed to have resigned at such time as the Trustee that appointed it resigns
or is removed as Trustee hereunder (in which case the responsibility for

obligations hereunder; PROVIDED that any Advance Security Arrangement shall be
in such form and amount, and shall be maintained in such manner, as (i) would
permit the Trustee to act in such capacity without an Adverse Rating Event in
respect of any Class of Rated Certificates (as confirmed in writing to the
Trustee and the Depositor by each Rating Agency) and (ii) would not result in an
Adverse REMIC Event (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed and
delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor). The Trustee may terminate any
Advance Security Arrangement established by it only if and when (i) the
existence of such Advance Security Arrangement is no longer necessary for the

that is an REO Loan), plus (B) the appraised value of each REO Property, if any,

Special Servicer, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances made by such
Person, together with any unpaid Advance Interest in respect of such

such purchase); (ii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder(s) of all the
Certificates for all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the

Servicer, in that order of preference, may at its option elect to purchase all
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as
contemplated by CLAUSE (I) of SECTION 9.01(A) by giving written notice to the
other parties hereto (and, in the case of an election by the Master Servicer or

terminated in connection with the purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and each
REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund by the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or any Controlling Class Certificateholder(s), such Person(s) shall:
(i) deliver to the Master Servicer for deposit (or, if the Master Servicer is

by the second preceding sentence has been made to the parties hereto, the
Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) shall release or cause to be released to
the purchasing party (or its designee) the Mortgage Files for the remaining
Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and
other instruments furnished to it by the purchasing party as shall be necessary
to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to the
purchasing party (or its designee).
(c) The Sole Certificateholder(s) shall have the right to

Certificateholder(s) shall elect to exchange all of the Certificates for all of
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in
accordance with the preceding sentence, the Sole Certificateholder(s), not later
than the Master Servicer Remittance Date relating to the Distribution Date on
which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in
the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all
amounts then due and owing to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and/or any Fiscal Agent hereunder that may be withdrawn from the
Collection Account pursuant to SECTION 3.05(A) or that may be withdrawn from the
Distribution Account pursuant to SECTION 3.05(B). In addition, the Master
Servicer shall transfer to the Distribution Account all amounts required to be
transferred to such account on such Master Servicer Remittance Date from the
Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of SECTION 3.04(B). Upon
confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender

release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder(s) or any designee
thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee
shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to
it by the Sole Certificateholder(s) as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer
of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund.
(d) Notice of any termination shall be given promptly by the

connection with the purchase or other acquisition of all the Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund by the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, any Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) or the Sole
Certificateholder(s), not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th
day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the

before the Master Servicer Remittance Date in such month, in any event
specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate
and final payment on the Certificates will be made, (ii) the amount of any such
final payment in respect of each Class of Certificates and (iii) that the
-238-
Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at
the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar therein designated. The
Trustee shall give such notice to the other parties hereto at the time such
notice is given to Certificateholders.
(e) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates such
Certificateholder's Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account that is allocable to payments on the
relevant Class in accordance with SECTION 4.01. Any funds not distributed to any
Holder or Holders of Certificates of any Class on the Final Distribution Date
because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates
shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to
the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If
any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this SECTION 9.01
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the
time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the
remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee, directly or through an agent,
shall take such reasonable steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall
deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of
contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the
delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be
paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former
Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder. If by the second anniversary of
the delivery of such second notice, all of the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, then, subject to applicable escheat laws, the
Trustee shall distribute to the Class R Certificateholders all unclaimed funds
and other assets which remain subject hereto.

as agent and attorney-in-fact for the Tax Matters Person for each REMIC Pool in
the performance of its duties as such. The legal expenses and costs of any
action described in this SECTION 10.01(B) and any liability resulting therefrom
shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust payable out of amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account as provided by SECTION 3.05(B) unless such

Trustee's misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of, or such
Person's reckless disregard of, its obligations or are expressly provided by
this Agreement to be borne by any party hereto.
(c) The Trustee shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), sign

the extent that the Trustee has actual knowledge that any particular action is
required; PROVIDED that the Trustee shall be deemed to have knowledge of
relevant tax laws. Except as contemplated by SECTION 3.17(A), the Trustee shall
not knowingly take or fail to take any action, or cause any REMIC Pool to take
or fail to take any action, that under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of
any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to either Grantor
Trust Pool, unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the person requesting such action or non-action) to the effect that
the contemplated action or non-action, as the case may be, will not result in an
Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event. Except as contemplated by
SECTION 3.17(A), none of the other parties hereto shall take or fail to take any
action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised
it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an
Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event could occur with respect
to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any
REMIC Pool or the assets thereof, or causing any REMIC Pool to take any action,
which is not contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, each of the other
parties hereto will consult with the Trustee, in writing, with respect to
whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor
Trust Event to occur, and no such other party shall take any such action or
cause any REMIC Pool to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised
it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event

or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws (other than any tax
permitted to be incurred by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust pursuant
to SECTION 3.17(A)), then such tax, together with all incidental costs and
expenses (including penalties and reasonable attorneys' fees), shall be charged
to and paid by: (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations
-242-

misconduct); (ii) any Fiscal Agent, if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by such Fiscal Agent of any of its obligations hereunder (which breach

Pools), in all other instances. If any tax is imposed on either Grantor Trust
Pool, such tax, together with all incidental costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, penalties and reasonable attorneys' fees), shall be charged
to and paid by: (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations hereunder (which breach
constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (ii) any Fiscal Agent,
if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by such Fiscal Agent of any

portion of the Trust Fund constituting such Grantor Trust Pool, in all other
instances. Any tax permitted to be incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to

payable by the Trust in respect of taxes shall be paid by the Trustee out of
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account.

shall not (except as contemplated by SECTION 3.06) accept any contributions of
assets to any REMIC Pool unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at
the expense of the party seeking to cause such contribution) to the effect that
the inclusion of such assets in such REMIC Pool will not result in an Adverse
REMIC Event in respect of such REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with
respect to either Grantor Trust Pool.
(i) None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee or any Fiscal Agent shall consent to or, to the extent it is within the
control of such Person, permit: (i) the sale or disposition of any Mortgage Loan

in an Account or an interest in a single member limited liability company, as
provided in SECTION 3.16); in any event unless it has received an Opinion of
Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, or
acquisition) to the effect that such sale, disposition, or acquisition will not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of any REMIC Pool or an Adverse
Grantor Trust Event with respect to either Grantor Trust Pool.
(j) Except as otherwise permitted by SECTION 3.17(A), none of
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any
arrangement by which any REMIC Pool will receive a fee or other compensation for
services or, to the extent it is within the control of such Person, permit any
REMIC Pool to receive any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as
defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code. At all times as may be required by the Code,

(a) The terms of this Article XII shall apply only if and when
a [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Change of Servicing Control Event shall

Property remains an asset of the Trust.
(b) If and when a [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Change
of Servicing Control Event shall occur, each of the Master Servicer and the

any [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] REO Property) as and when it is required

they would if the [Separately Serviced Mortgage Loan] Loan Group and/or any

Property shall continue to have the same duties and obligations, and the same
