Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Intercreditor Agreement, and the Trustee, by the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, hereby agrees that such Mortgage Loans remain subject to the terms of

(b) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to
Section 2.1(a) above, the Depositor shall direct, and hereby represents and
warrants that it has directed, each Seller pursuant to the applicable Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered
to and deposited with, the Trustee or a Custodian appointed hereunder, on or
before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan so assigned,
endorsed to the Trustee as specified in clause (i) of the definition of
"Mortgage File." Each Seller is required, pursuant to the applicable Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, to deliver to the Trustee the remaining documents
constituting the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan within the time period set

Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be liable for any failure by any Seller
or the Depositor to comply with the document delivery requirements of the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and this Section 2.1(b). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to a Joint Mortgage
Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable Sellers to deliver a Mortgage
Note to the Trustee, or a Custodian appointed thereby, shall be limited to
delivery of only the Mortgage Note held by such party to the Trustee or
Custodian appointed thereby. With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan, either of
the applicable Sellers may deliver one Mortgage File or one of any other
document required to be delivered with respect to such Mortgage Loan hereunder
and such delivery shall satisfy such delivery requirements for each of the
applicable Sellers.
(c) The applicable Seller has agreed in the applicable Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, at the expense of such Seller as to each of its
respective Mortgage Loans, (i) in the case of clauses (iv) and (vi)(B) of the
definition of "Mortgage File" within 45 days following the Closing Date and (ii)
in the case of clause (ix) of the definition of "Mortgage File" within 90 days
following the Closing Date, to cause to be submitted for recording or filing

or its designees), as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real
property records or UCC financing statements, as appropriate, each assignment to
the Trustee referred to in clauses (iv), (vi)(B) and (ix) of the definition of
"Mortgage File;" provided, if the related Mortgage and UCC financing statements
have been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, no such assignments will
be required to be submitted for recording or filing and instead, the applicable
Seller has agreed in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to take all
actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be shown as, and the Trustee
shall take all actions necessary to confirm that it is shown as, the owner of
the related Mortgage on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of
recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained
-83-
by MERS. Each such assignment shall reflect that it should be returned by the
public recording office to the Trustee following recording or filing; provided
that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original
Assignment of Mortgage, assignment of Assignment of Leases or assignment of UCC
financing statements, the applicable Seller shall obtain therefrom a certified
copy of the recorded original. The applicable Seller shall forward copies
thereof to the Trustee and the Special Servicer and, if recorded in the name of
MERS, shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, within 45
days of the Closing Date, evidence confirming that the Trustee is shown as the
owner on the record of MERS. If any such document or instrument is lost or
returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein,
the applicable Seller shall, pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute therefor or
cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the applicable Seller shall
upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as
appropriate. After the applicable Seller has caused the Trustee to be identified
on the records of MERS as the owner of a Mortgage, it shall be the sole
responsibility of the Master Servicer to ensure that subsequent relevant events
relating to the Mortgage (as, for example, assumptions and partial releases) are
promptly and properly registered with MERS throughout the term of the related
Mortgage Loan for so long as the Mortgage Loan is an asset of the Trust;
provided that, the Master Servicer shall have no liability for its failure to
perform its obligations under this sentence with respect to a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan if the Special Servicer fails to provide the notice and
information that the Special Servicer is required to provide pursuant to the
immediately succeeding sentence. The Special Servicer shall promptly provide the
Master Servicer with notice and all information reasonably necessary to permit
the Master Servicer to comply with its obligations under the immediately
preceding sentence for any Mortgage Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan to the extent the Special Servicer is responsible for the subsequent
related events relating to the Mortgage (as, for example, assumptions and
partial releases) under this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge that no
Mortgage Loan was registered with MERS as of the Closing Date.
The parties acknowledge the obligation of each Seller pursuant to
Section 2 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver to the
Trustee, on or before the fifth Business Day after the Closing Date, five
limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C to
the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement in favor of the Trustee and the
Special Servicer to empower the Trustee and, in the event of the failure or
incapacity of the Trustee, the Special Servicer, to submit for recording, at the
expense of the applicable Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be
recorded as set forth in the preceding paragraph and any intervening assignments
with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the
Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered
to the Trustee). The Sellers agree to reasonably cooperate with the Trustee and
the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or
revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such
recordation. The Trustee and each other party hereto agrees that no such power
of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under
authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a
document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such
Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is 180
days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the related Seller, but
in no event earlier than 18 months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if
any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The
Trustee shall submit such documents for recording, at the related Seller's
expense, after the periods set
-84-
forth above; provided, however, the Trustee shall not submit such assignments
for recording if the applicable Seller produces evidence that it has sent any
such assignment for recording and certifies that it is awaiting its return from
the applicable recording office.
(d) All relevant servicing or loan documents and records in the
possession of the Depositor or the Sellers that relate to the Mortgage Loans,
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans or B Notes and that are not required to be a
part of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof shall be
delivered to the Master Servicer or the applicable Primary Servicer on its
behalf, on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date and
shall be held by the Master Servicer or the applicable Primary Servicer on
behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. To the
extent delivered to the Master Servicer or the applicable Primary Servicer by
the related Seller, the Servicer Mortgage File, will include, to the extent
required to be (and actually) delivered to the applicable Seller pursuant to the
applicable Mortgage Loan documents, copies of the following items: the Mortgage
Note, any Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the Assignment of Mortgage, any
guaranty/indemnity agreement, any loan agreement, the insurance policies or
certificates (as applicable), the property inspection reports, any financial
statements on the property, any escrow analysis, the tax bills, the Appraisal,
the environmental report, the engineering report, the asset summary, financial
information on the Mortgagor/sponsor and any guarantors, any letters of credit,
any intercreditor agreement and any Environmental Insurance Policies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Seller shall be required to deliver any draft
documents, or any attorney-client communications that are privileged
communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses, or internal
communications of the Seller or its affiliates, or credit underwriting or other
analyses or data. Delivery of any of the foregoing documents to the applicable
Primary Servicer (or sub-servicer) shall be deemed delivery to the Master
Servicer and satisfy the Depositor's obligations under this Section 2.1(d). None
of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the applicable Primary Servicer
shall have any liability for the absence of any of the foregoing items from the
Servicing Mortgage File if such item was not delivered by the related Seller.
(e) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to
Section 2.1(a) above, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee on or before
the Closing Date a copy of a fully executed counterpart of each Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect on the Closing Date, which
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements shall contain the representations and
warranties made by the Sellers with respect to each related Mortgage Loan as of
the Closing Date.
(f) In connection herewith, the Depositor has acquired the MSMCH
Loans from MSMCH, the Nomura Loans from Nomura and the AMAC Loans from AMAC. The
Depositor will deliver or cause to be delivered the original Mortgage Notes (or
lost note affidavits with copies of the related Mortgage Notes, as set forth in
the definition of "Mortgage File") relating to the MSMCH Loans to the Trustee,
endorsed as otherwise provided herein, to effect the transfer to the Trustee of
such Mortgage Notes and all related deeds of trust, mortgages and other loan
documents. The Depositor will deliver or cause to be delivered the original
Mortgage Notes (or lost note affidavits with copies of the related Mortgage
Notes, as set forth in the definition of "Mortgage File") relating to the Nomura
Loans to the Trustee, endorsed as otherwise provided herein, to effect the
transfer to the Trustee of such Mortgage Notes and all related deeds of trust,
mortgages and other loan documents. The Depositor will deliver or cause to be
delivered the original Mortgage Notes (or lost note affidavits with copies of
the related
-85-
Mortgage Notes, as set forth in the definition of "Mortgage File") relating to
the AMAC Loans to the Trustee, endorsed as otherwise provided herein, to effect
the transfer to the Trustee of such Mortgage Notes and all related deeds of
trust, mortgages and other loan documents. To avoid the unnecessary expense and
administrative inconvenience associated with the execution and recording of
multiple assignment documents, MSMCH, Nomura and AMAC, as applicable, are
required under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements to deliver Assignments of
Mortgages and assignments of Assignments of Leases and assignments of UCC
financing statements naming the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, as
assignee. Notwithstanding the fact that the assignments shall name the Trustee,
on behalf of the Certificateholders, as the assignee, the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that for all purposes the MSMCH Loans shall be deemed to
have been transferred from MSMCH to the Depositor, the Nomura Loans shall be
deemed to have been transferred from Nomura to the Depositor and the AMAC Loans
shall be deemed to have been transferred from AMAC to the Depositor, and all
Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to have been transferred from the Depositor to
the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.2 ACCEPTANCE BY TRUSTEE. The Trustee will hold (i) the
documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it, (ii) the
REMIC I Regular Interests, and (iii) the REMIC II Regular Interests, in each
case, in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. To the extent that the contents of the Mortgage File for any
A Note relate to the corresponding B Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian on the
Trustee's behalf, will also hold such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of
the holder of the related B Note; provided, that if a B Note remains outstanding
following payment in full of the amounts due under the related A Notes, the
Mortgage Loan documents relating to such A/B Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any
such documents related solely to the A Notes) shall be assigned to the holder of
the B Note or its designee. To the extent that the contents of the Mortgage File
for any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan relate to the corresponding Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, or the Custodian, on the Trustee's behalf,
will also hold such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the holder of the
related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan.
On the Closing Date in respect of the Initial Certification, and
within 90 days after the Closing Date in respect of the Final Certification, the
Trustee shall examine the Mortgage Files in its possession, and shall deliver to
the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Operating Adviser and the holder of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan a
certification (the "Initial Certification" and the "Final Certification",
respectively, in the respective forms set forth as Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2
hereto), which shall be in electronic format (i) in the case of the Initial
Certification, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
except as may be specified in the schedule of exceptions attached thereto, to
the effect that: (A) all documents pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" are in its possession, (B) such documents have been reviewed by
it and have not been materially mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise
physically altered, and such documents relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (C)
each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in clause (i) of the definition
of "Mortgage File", and (ii) in the case of the Final Certification, as to each
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except as may be specified
in the schedule of exceptions attached thereto, to the effect that: (A) (I) all
documents pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii), (x) and (xii)
of the definition of "Mortgage File" required to be included in the Mortgage
File (to the extent required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the
applicable Primary Servicing Agreement), and with respect to all documents
specified in the
-86-
other clauses of the definition of "Mortgage File" to the extent known by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee to be required pursuant to this Agreement,
are in its possession, and (II) for each Mortgage recorded in the name of MERS
or its designee, the Trustee is shown as the transferee of the related Mortgage
on the records of MERS for purposes of the system maintained by MERS of
recording transfers of beneficial ownership for mortgages, (B) such documents
have been reviewed by it and have not been materially mutilated, damaged,
defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered, and such documents relate to such
Mortgage Loan, (C) based on its examination and only as to the Mortgage Note and
Mortgage, the street address of the Mortgaged Property set forth in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule respecting such Mortgage Loan accurately reflects the information
contained in the documents in the Mortgage File, and (D) each Mortgage Note has
been endorsed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a commitment to
issue a Title Insurance Policy in lieu of the delivery of the actual Title
Insurance Policy shall not be considered a Material Document Defect with respect
to any Mortgage File if such actual Title Insurance Policy is delivered to the
Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf not later than the 180th day following the
Closing Date.
Within 360 days after the Cut-Off Date, the Trustee shall provide a
confirmation of receipt of recorded assignments of Mortgage (as set forth in the
definition of "Mortgage File," with evidence of recording thereon) or otherwise
provide evidence of such recordation to the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Operating Adviser and each Seller, and if any recorded assignment
of Mortgage has not been received by the Trustee by such time, the Trustee shall
provide information in such confirmation on the status of missing assignments.
The Trustee agrees to use reasonable efforts to submit for recording any
unrecorded assignments of Mortgage that have been delivered to it (including
effecting such recordation process through or cooperating with the applicable
Seller), such recordation to be at the expense of the applicable Seller;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall not submit for recording any such
assignments if the applicable Seller produces evidence that it has sent any such
assignment for recording and is awaiting its return from the applicable
recording office. In giving the certifications required above, the Trustee shall
be under no obligation or duty to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, securities or other papers to determine whether they or the
signatures thereon are valid, legal, genuine, enforceable, in recordable form or
appropriate for their represented purposes, or that they are other than what
they purport to be on their face, or to determine whether any Mortgage File
should include any assumption agreement, modification agreement, consolidation
agreement, extension agreement, Assignment of Lease, ground lease, UCC financing
statement, guaranty, written assurance, substitution agreement, lock box
agreement, intercreditor agreement, management agreement or letter of credit.
If any exceptions are noted on a schedule of exceptions attached to
the Final Certification, including exceptions resulting from the fact that the
recordation and/or filing has not been completed (based solely on the absence of
receipt by the Custodian (or the Trustee) of the particular documents showing
evidence of the recordation and/or filing), then the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee (or the Trustee) shall continuously update such schedule of exceptions
to reflect receipt of any corrected documents, additional documents or
instruments or evidences of recordation and/or filing, as to each Mortgage Loan,
until the earliest of the following dates: (i) the date on which all such
exceptions are eliminated (any such elimination resulting from the fact that
recordation and/or filing has been completed shall be based solely on receipt by
the Custodian or the Trustee of the particular documents showing evidence of the
recordation and/or filing), (ii) the date on which all the affected Mortgage
Loans are removed from the Trust and
-87-
(iii) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and shall provide such updated
schedule of exceptions (which may be in electronic format) to each of the
Depositor, each Seller (as to its respective Mortgage Loans only), the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Adviser, the Paying Agent and the
holder of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan on or about the date that is 180
days after the Closing Date and then again every 90 days thereafter (until the
earliest date specified above). Upon request, the Paying Agent shall promptly
forward a copy thereof to each Certificateholder in the Controlling Class and
shall deliver or make available a copy thereof to other Certificateholders.
Promptly, and in any event within two Business Days, following any request
therefor by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Operating Adviser or the holder of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan that is
made later than two years following the Closing Date, the Custodian (or the
Trustee) shall deliver an updated schedule of exceptions, which may be in
electronic format (to the extent the prior schedule showed exceptions), to the
requesting Person and the Paying Agent, which shall make available a copy
thereof. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the
names and addresses of each holder of a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan of
which the Master Servicer has received notice in accordance with this Agreement
and/or the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement.
The Trustee or its authorized agents shall retain possession and
custody of each Trustee Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein.
SECTION 2.3 SELLERS' REPURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS FOR MATERIAL
DOCUMENT DEFECTS AND MATERIAL BREACHES OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
(a) If any party hereto discovers that any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been delivered as and when
required, has not been properly executed, or is defective on its face or
discovers or receives notice of a breach of any of the representations and
warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans required to be made by a Seller
regarding the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans and/or related Mortgaged
Properties as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, and,
in either case, the party discovering such defect or breach determines that
either (i) the defect or breach materially and adversely affects the interests
of the holders of the Certificates in the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) both (A)
the defect or breach materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage
Loan and (B) the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan (any such defect described in the preceding clause
(i) or (ii), a "Material Document Defect", and such a breach described in the
preceding clause (i) or (ii), a "Material Breach") the party determining that
such Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties hereto and to each Rating Agency subject to
the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided that any
breach of the representation and warranty contained in paragraph (41) of Exhibit
2 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall constitute a Material
Breach only if the prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge referred to
therein is not deemed "customary" for commercial mortgage loans as evidenced by
(i) an opinion of tax counsel to such effect or (ii) a determination by the
Internal Revenue Service that such provision is not customary. Promptly (but in
any event within three Business Days) upon determining (or becoming aware of
another party's determination) that any such Material Document Defect or
Material Breach exists (which determination shall, absent evidence to the
contrary, be presumed to be no earlier than three
-88-
Business Days prior to the delivery of the notice referred to below), the Master
Servicer shall, and the Special Servicer may, request that the related Seller,
not later than 90 days from such Seller's receipt of the notice of such Material
Document Defect or Material Breach, cure such Material Document Defect or
Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects; provided,
however, that if such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case
may be, cannot be corrected or cured in all material respects within such 90-day
period, and such Material Document Defect or Material Breach would not cause the
Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" (as defined in the Code)
but the related Seller is diligently attempting to effect such correction or
cure, as certified by such Seller in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the
Trustee, then the cure period will be extended for an additional 90 days unless,
solely in the case of a Material Document Defect, (x) the Mortgage Loan is then
a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred
as a result of a monetary default or as set forth in clause (ii) or clause (v)
of the definition of "Servicing Transfer Event" and (y) the Material Document
Defect was identified in a certification delivered to the Seller by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 2.2 not less than 90 days prior to the delivery of the
notice of such Material Document Defect. The parties acknowledge that neither
delivery of a certification or schedule of exceptions to a Seller pursuant to
Section 2.2 or otherwise nor possession of such certification or schedule by the
Seller shall, in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of any Material
Document Defect or knowledge or awareness by the Seller or any party hereto of
any Material Document Defect listed therein.
If any Material Document Defect or Material Breach that exists
cannot be corrected or cured in all material respects within the above cure
periods, the related Seller will be obligated, not later than the last day of
such permitted cure period, to (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan (or the
related Seller's portion thereof with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan) or REO
Mortgage Loan (or the related Seller's portion thereof with respect to any Joint
Mortgage Loan) from the Trust at the applicable Purchase Price in accordance
with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or (ii) if within the
three-month period commencing on the Closing Date (or within the two-year period
commencing on the Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a "defective
obligation" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), at the related Seller's option,
without recourse (other than the representations and warranties made with
respect thereto), replace such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan with a
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan. If such Material Document Defect or
Material Breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified
mortgage" (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous sentence
or the previous paragraph, the repurchase must occur within 85 days from the
date the related Seller was notified of the defect and substitution must occur
within the sooner of (i) 85 days from the date the related Seller was notified
of the defect or (ii) two years from the Closing Date.
As to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Master
Servicer shall not execute any instrument effecting the substitution unless the
related Seller has delivered to the Trustee for such Qualifying Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related Assignment
of Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section
2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.1, and the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to rely on statements and certifications from the
Trustee for this purpose. No substitution may be made in any calendar month
after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly payments due with respect
to Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not
be part of the Trust and will be retained by Master Servicer and
-89-
remitted by the Master Servicer to the related Seller on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the Scheduled Payment due on the related Deleted
Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the related Seller shall be entitled
to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage
Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the
substitution of the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and upon such
amendment the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered such
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee (and the Custodian), the Paying
Agent and the Special Servicer. Upon such substitution, the Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects. Upon receipt of the Trustee Mortgage File pertaining
to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall release the
Trustee Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related
Seller, and the Trustee (and the Depositor, if necessary) shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment in the form presented to it,
in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary
to vest title (provided, however, if applicable, the Master Servicer will take
all necessary action to register the transfer of ownership of the Mortgage
related to such Deleted Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS) (to the extent
that such title was transferred to the Trustee or the Depositor) in the related
Seller or its designee to any Deleted Mortgage Loan (including any property
acquired in respect thereof or any insurance policy proceeds relating thereto)
substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.3.
If (x) a Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as
contemplated above (a "Defective Mortgage Loan"), (y) such Defective Mortgage
Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with one or more other Mortgage
Loans ("Crossed Mortgage Loans") and (z) the applicable document defect or
breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the
case may be, as to such Crossed Mortgage Loans (without regard to this
paragraph), then the applicable document defect or breach (as the case may be)
shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as
the case may be) as to each such Crossed Mortgage Loan for purposes of the above
provisions, and the related Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or replace
each such Crossed Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless,
in the case of such breach or document defect, the Seller (A) provides a
Nondisqualification Opinion to the Trustee at the expense of the Seller and (B)
both of the following conditions would be satisfied if the related Seller were
to repurchase or replace only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Breach
or Material Document Defect had occurred without regard to this paragraph (the
"Affected Loan(s)"): (i) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all such Crossed
Mortgage Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters
immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the lesser
of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage
Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Appendix II to the Final
Prospectus Supplement and (B) the debt service coverage ratio for all such
Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding
calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement, and (ii) the
Loan-to-Value Ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (excluding the Affected
Loan(s)) is not greater than the greater of (A) the loan-to-value ratio,
expressed as a whole number (taken to one decimal place), for all such Crossed
Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Appendix II to the
Final Prospectus Supplement plus 10% and (B) the loan-to-value ratio for all
such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)), at the time of
repurchase or replacement. The determination of the Master Servicer as
-90-
to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be
conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. The Master Servicer
will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the related Seller to (in
which case the related Seller shall) cause to be delivered to the Master
Servicer, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for
purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (ii) above has
been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the related Seller if the scope
and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the related Seller (such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld).
With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan, to the extent that the
applicable Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for such Defective
Mortgage Loan (each, a "Repurchased Loan") in the manner prescribed above while
the Trustee continues to hold any Crossed Mortgage Loan, the applicable Seller
and the Depositor have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other's Primary Collateral but
each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing
its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the
Primary Collateral securing Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as
such exercise does not impair the ability of the other party to exercise its
remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of remedies by one
party would impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with
respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans
held by such party, then both parties have agreed to forbear from exercising
such remedies until the loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant
Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the applicable
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result
of the exercise of remedies. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of
credit securing the Crossed Mortgage Loans shall be allocated between such
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a
pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Principal Balances. All other terms
of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any
modification thereof. The Mortgagors set forth on Schedule VIII hereto are
intended third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this paragraph
and the preceding paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph and the preceding
paragraph may not be modified with respect to any Mortgage Loan without the
related Mortgagor's consent.
Any of the following document defects shall be conclusively presumed
materially and adversely to affect the interests of Certificateholders in a
Mortgage Loan and be a Material Document Defect: (a) the absence from the
Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File
contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity that appears to be regular
on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed
Mortgage (or with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a copy thereof)
that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage
File a certified copy of the Mortgage by the local authority with which the
Mortgage was recorded; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called
for by paragraph (viii) of the definition of "Mortgage File" (or with respect to
any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a copy thereof) or (d) the absence from the
Mortgage File of the item called for by paragraph (xii) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" (or with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a copy
thereof). If any of the foregoing Material Document Defects is discovered by the
Custodian (or the Trustee if there is no Custodian), the Trustee (or as set
forth in Section 2.3(a), the Master Servicer) will take the steps described
elsewhere in this section, including the giving of notices to the Rating
Agencies, the parties hereto and, to the extent any Material Document Defect
relates to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the holder
-91-
of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, and making demand upon the
related Seller for the cure of the document defect or repurchase or replacement
of the related Mortgage Loan.
If the related Seller disputes that a Material Document Defect or
Material Breach exists with respect to a Mortgage Loan or otherwise refuses (i)
to effect a correction or cure of such Material Document Defect or Material
Breach, (ii) to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from the Trust or (iii) to
replace such Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, each in
accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then provided that
(x) the period of time provided for the related Seller to correct, repurchase or
cure has expired and (y) the Mortgage Loan is then in default and is then a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer may, subject to the
Servicing Standard, modify, workout or foreclose, sell or otherwise liquidate
(or permit the liquidation of) the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 9.5,
Section 9.12, Section 9.15 and Section 9.36, as applicable, hereof, while
pursuing the repurchase claim. The related Seller has acknowledged and agreed
under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that any modification of the
Mortgage Loan pursuant to a workout shall not constitute a defense to any
repurchase claim nor shall such modification and workout change the Purchase
Price due from the related Seller for any repurchase claim. In the event of any
such modification and workout, the related Seller has agreed under the related
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase the Mortgage Loan as modified and
that the Purchase Price shall include any Work-Out Fee paid to the Special
Servicer up to the date of repurchase plus the present value (calculated at a
discount rate equal to the applicable Mortgage Rate) of the Work-Out Fee that
would have been payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Mortgage Loan
if the Mortgage Loan performed in accordance with its terms to its Maturity
Date, provided that no amount shall be paid by the related Seller in respect of
any Work-Out Fee if a Liquidation Fee already comprises (or will comprise) a
portion of the Purchase Price. The related Seller shall be notified promptly and
in writing by (i) the Trustee of any notice that it receives that an Option
Holder intends to exercise its Option to purchase the Mortgage Loan in
accordance with and as set forth in Section 9.36 hereof and (ii) the Special
Servicer of any offer that it receives to purchase the applicable REO Property,
each in connection with such liquidation. Upon the receipt of such notice by the
related Seller, the related Seller shall then have the right to purchase the
related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, as applicable, from the Trust at a
purchase price equal to, in the case of clause (i) of the immediately preceding
sentence, the Option Purchase Price or, in the case of clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence, the amount of such offer. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in the related Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the right of any Option Holder to purchase such Mortgage
Loan shall be subject and subordinate to the Seller's right to purchase such
Mortgage Loan as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. The related
Seller shall have five (5) Business Days to notify the Trustee or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, of its intent to so purchase the Mortgage Loan or
related REO Property from the date that it was notified of such intention to
exercise such Option or of such offer. The Special Servicer shall be obligated
to provide the related Seller with any appraisal or other third party reports
relating to the Mortgaged Property within its possession to enable the related
Seller to evaluate the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property. Any sale of the
related Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure upon such Mortgage Loan and sale of the
related REO Property, to a Person other than the related Seller shall be without
(i) recourse of any kind (either expressed or implied) by such Person against
the related Seller and (ii) representation or warranty of any kind (either
expressed or implied) by the related Seller to or for the benefit of such
Person.
-92-
The fact that a Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not
discovered until after foreclosure (but in all instances prior to the sale of
the related REO Property or Mortgage Loan) shall not prejudice any claim against
the Seller for repurchase of the REO Mortgage Loan or REO Property. In such an
event, the Master Servicer shall notify the related Seller of the discovery of
the Material Document Defect or Material Breach and the related Seller shall
have 90 days to correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach
or purchase the REO Property at the Purchase Price. If the related Seller fails
to correct or cure the Material Document Defect or Material Breach or purchase
the REO Property, then the provisions above regarding notice of offers related
to such REO Property and the related Seller's right to purchase such REO
Property shall apply. After a final liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or REO
Mortgage Loan, if a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final order after
the expiration of any applicable appeal period that the related Seller is or was
obligated to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan (a "Final
Judicial Determination") or the related Seller otherwise accepts liability,
then, but in no event later than the termination of the Trust pursuant to
Section 9.30 hereof, the related Seller will be obligated to pay to the Trust
the difference between any Liquidation Proceeds received upon such liquidation
(including those arising from any sale to the related Seller) and the Purchase
Price.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
connection with any sale or other liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or REO Property
as set forth in this Section 2.3, the Special Servicer shall not receive a
Liquidation Fee from the applicable Seller (but may collect such Liquidation Fee
from the related Liquidation Proceeds as otherwise provided herein); provided,
however, that in the event the applicable Seller is obligated to repurchase the
Mortgage Loan or REO Property after a final liquidation of such Mortgage Loan or
REO Property pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, an amount equal to
any Liquidation Fee (calculated on the basis of Liquidation Proceeds) payable to
the Special Servicer shall be included in the definition of "Purchase Price" in
respect of such Mortgage Loan or REO Property. Except as expressly set forth
above, no Liquidation Fee shall be payable in connection with a repurchase of a
Mortgage Loan by a Seller. If any amount is due with respect to the preceding
sentence for any Joint Mortgage Loan, then each of the applicable Sellers shall
be required to pay only such party's pro rata share of such amount.
In any month in which the related Seller substitutes one or more
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate
Principal Balance of all such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the
date of substitution is less than the aggregate Principal Balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of scheduled principal
portion of the monthly payments received in the month of substitution). The
Depositor shall cause the related Seller to deposit the amount of such shortage
into the Certificate Account in the month of substitution, without any
reimbursement thereof. In addition, the Depositor shall cause the related Seller
to deposit into the Certificate Account, together with such shortage, if any, an
amount equal to interest on the Deleted Mortgage Loans at a rate equal to the
sum of the applicable Mortgage Rate from the Due Date as to which interest was
last paid up to the Due Date next succeeding such substitution together with the
amount of unreimbursed Servicing Advances, amounts required to be paid to the
Special Servicer but remaining unpaid or unreimbursed, and interest on
unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans at the Advance
Rate. The Depositor shall cause the related Seller, in the case of the Mortgage
Loans, to give notice in writing (accompanied by an Officer's Certificate as to
the
-93-
calculation of such shortage) to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Master
Servicer of such event which notice shall be accompanied by an Officer's
Certificate as to the calculation of such shortfall.
If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Master
Servicer shall designate the Certificate Account as the account to which funds
in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. Any such purchase of a
Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.
With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each of
the applicable Sellers to repurchase with respect to a Material Document Defect
or Material Breach with respect to the related Mortgage Loan shall be limited to
a repurchase with respect to the Mortgage Note it sold to the Depositor in
accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. With respect to
any Joint Mortgage Loan, any cure by either of the applicable Sellers with
respect to the Mortgage Note sold to the Depositor in accordance with the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that also cures the Material Document
Defect or Material Breach with respect to the related Mortgage Loan shall
satisfy the cure obligations of both Sellers with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
(b) In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a
Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.3, the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the related Seller, upon delivery
to each of them of a receipt executed by such Seller, all portions of the
Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by
it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be
endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the related
Seller or its designee in the same manner, and pursuant to appropriate forms of
assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which
documents were previously assigned to the Trustee, but in any event, without
recourse, representation or warranty; provided that such tender by the Trustee
shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for
Release. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by
the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, the endorsements and
assignments contemplated by this Section 2.3, and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so.
The Master Servicer shall, and is also hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee to, reconvey to the related Seller any deposits then held in an Escrow
Account relating to the Mortgage Loan being repurchased or substituted for. The
Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for all costs, liabilities and
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the Trustee in connection with
any negligent or intentional misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master
Servicer.
(c) The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provide the sole
remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, respecting any Material Document Defect or Material Breach.
The parties hereunder understand that (i) MSMCH, as Seller under Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement I, will be providing the remedies with respect to the MSMCH
Loans, (ii) Nomura, as Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement II, will be
providing the remedies with respect to the Nomura Loans and (iii) AMAC, as
Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement III, will be providing the
remedies with respect to the AMAC Loans.
-94-
(d) The Trustee or its designee (which, with the Master
Servicer's consent, may be the Master Servicer or which, with the Special
Servicer's consent, may be the Special Servicer) shall enforce the provisions of
this Section 2.3.

(c) The execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of

-95-
(f) Immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions

this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such

Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and the Certificate

Certificates (the "Certificate Register"). The Certificate Registrar may resign
or be discharged or removed by the Paying Agent or the Certificateholders, and a
new successor may be appointed, in accordance with the procedures and
requirements set forth in Sections 7.6 and 7.7 hereof with respect to the
resignation, discharge or removal of the
-97-
Paying Agent and the appointment of a successor Paying Agent. The Certificate
Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the
Trustee, any trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the
Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided that the Certificate Registrar
shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by
reason of such appointment.
SECTION 3.3 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) A Certificate may be transferred by the Holder thereof only
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust
Office, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly
executed by such Holder or such Holder's duly authorized attorney in such form
as shall be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any
Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, and subject to the
restrictions set forth in the other subsections of this Section 3.3, the
Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the
same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate initial
Certificate Balance, initial Notional Amount or Percentage Interest, as the case
may be, as the Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to
a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
or transfer of Certificates. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept any
request for a registration of transfer of any Certificate during the period
beginning five calendar days prior to any Distribution Date.
(b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any
number of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations,
representing in the aggregate the same initial Certificate Balance, initial
Notional Amount or Percentage Interest, as the case may be, as the Certificate
surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the offices of
the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument
of exchange duly executed by such Holder or such Holder's duly authorized
attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar.
Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same
obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the
Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder
for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall
execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.
(c) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any
Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration
and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and
such state securities laws. If a transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate held
as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the
Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the
Certificates or a transfer of such Non-Registered Certificate by the Depositor
or one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to
register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively
rely upon) either: (i) a certificate
-98-
from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit D-1 hereto and a certificate from such
Certificateholder's prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached
either as Exhibit D-2A hereto or as Exhibit D-2B hereto; or (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such
transfer shall be made without registration under the Securities Act, together
with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from
the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is
based (such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust or of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent, the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). If
a transfer of any interest in a Non-Registered Certificate that constitutes a
Book-Entry Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities
Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a
transfer of any interest in such Non-Registered Certificate by the Depositor or
any of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such
transfer shall be required to obtain either (i) a certificate from such
Certificate Owner's prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit D-3A hereto or as Exhibit D-3B hereto, or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the
Securities Act. None of the Depositor, the Paying Agent, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to
register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the
Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate. Any
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a transfer of
Non-Registered Certificates or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree
to, indemnify the Depositor, each Underwriter, the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration
or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(d) No transfer of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate or
Residual Certificate or any interest therein shall be made (A) to any employee
benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement
accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans and collective investment funds and separate
accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, including,
without limitation, insurance company general accounts, that is subject to Title
I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable federal, state or local
law ("Similar Laws") materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or
the Code (each, a "Plan"), (B) in book-entry form to an Institutional Accredited
Investor who is not also a Qualified Institutional Buyer or (C) to any Person
who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on
behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with "plan assets" of a
Plan, unless: (i) in the case of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate that
constitutes a Book-Entry Certificate and is being sold to a Qualified
Institutional Buyer, the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest
therein qualifies for the exemptive relief available under Sections I and III of
U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60;
or (ii) in the case of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate held as a Definitive
Certificate, the prospective Transferee provides the Certificate Registrar with
a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the
satisfaction of the Certificate Registrar that such transfer will not constitute
or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code or subject the Depositor, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar to
any
-99-
obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement. Each Person who
acquires any Non-Investment Grade Certificate or Residual Certificate or
interest therein (unless it shall have acquired such Certificate or interest
therein from the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof or unless, in the case of a
Non-Investment Grade Certificate, it shall have delivered to the Certificate
Registrar the certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel referred to in
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence) shall be required to deliver to the
Certificate Registrar (or, in the case of an interest in a Non-Investment Grade
Certificate that constitutes a Book-Entry Certificate, to the Certificate Owner
that is transferring such interest) a certification to the effect that: (i) it
is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such
Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee
of, or with "plan assets" of a Plan; or (ii) that, in the case of a
Non-Investment Grade Certificate, the purchase and holding of such Certificate
or interest therein by such person qualifies for the exemptive relief available
under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or another exemption from the "prohibited
transactions" rules under ERISA by the U.S. Department of Labor or similar
exemption under Similar Laws.
(e) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of
such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions
and to have irrevocably authorized the Paying Agent under clause (F) below to
deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably
authorized the Certificate Registrar under clause (G) below to negotiate the
terms of any mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do
all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of such
person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(A) (1) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee
and a United States Tax Person other than a partnership (including
any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes) any interest in which is owned (or, may be owned pursuant
to the applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly
(other than through a U.S. corporation) by any person that is not a
United Stated Tax Person, and shall promptly notify the Certificate
Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee and (2) each Person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Qualified
Institutional Buyer and shall promptly notify the Certificate
Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a
Qualified Institutional Buyer.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate
Registrar shall require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any
Residual Certificate shall be registered until the Certificate
Registrar receives, an affidavit and agreement substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 (a "Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement") from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and
warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted
Transferee, that it is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, that it is
not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate
that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee
or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for
so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, that
it is a
-100-
United States Tax Person other than a partnership (including any
entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes) any interest in which is owned (or, may be owned pursuant
to the applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly
(other than through a U.S. corporation) by any person that is not a
United Stated Tax Person, that if such Transferee is a partnership,
trust or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
then each Person that may be allocated income from a Residual
Certificate is a United States Tax Person, that it is not a foreign
permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any
applicable income tax treaty, of any United States Tax Person, that
it has historically paid its debts as they have come due and will
continue to do so in the future, that it understands that its tax
liability with respect to the Residual Certificates may exceed cash
flows thereon and it intends to pay such taxes as they come due,
that it will not cause income with respect to the Residual
Certificates to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment
or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable income tax
treaty, of such proposed Transferee or any other United States Tax
Person, that it will provide the Certificate Registrar with all
information necessary to determine that the applicable paragraphs of
Section 13 of such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement are true or that
Section 13 is not applicable, and that it has reviewed the
provisions of this Section 3.3(e) and agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if
the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or is not a United States
Tax Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement from any prospective Transferee to whom such
Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Residual
Certificate and (2) not to transfer its Ownership Interest in such
Residual Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar
a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
E-2 among other things stating that (x) it has conducted a
reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the proposed
Transferee and, as a result of the investigation, the Transferor
determines that the proposed Transferee had historically paid its
debts as they came due and found no significant evidence that the
proposed Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they come
due in the future and, (y) it has no actual knowledge that such
prospective Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, is not a
United States Tax Person or a partnership (including any entity
treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) any
interest in which is owned (or, may be owned pursuant to the
applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly (other than
through a U.S. corporation) by any person that is not a United
Stated Tax Person, is a foreign permanent establishment or fixed
base, within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty, of any
United States Tax Person or is a Person with respect to which income
on the Residual Certificate is attributable to a foreign permanent
-101-
establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable
income tax treaty.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate that is a "pass-through interest holder"
within the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulations Section
1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) or is holding an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate on behalf of a "pass-through interest holder",
by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to
give the Certificate Registrar written notice of its status as such
immediately upon holding or acquiring such Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate.
(F) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
3.3(e) or if any Holder of a Residual Certificate shall lose its
status as a Permitted Transferee or a United States Tax Person, then
the last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate that was in
compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.3(e) shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and
obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. None of
the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent shall be under any
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
3.3(e) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such
Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
(G) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this
Section 3.3(e), or if any Holder of a Residual Certificate shall
lose its status as a Permitted Transferee or a United States Tax
Person, and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the
rights and obligations of the prior Holder of such Residual
Certificate as set forth in clause (F) above shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, then the Trustee shall have the right,
without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual
Certificate, but not the obligation, to sell or cause to be sold
such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trustee on
such terms as the Trustee may choose. Such noncomplying Holder shall
promptly endorse and deliver such Residual Certificate in accordance
with the instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser
may be the Certificate Registrar itself or any Affiliate of the
Certificate Registrar. The proceeds of such sale, net of the
commissions (which may include commissions payable to the
Certificate Registrar or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if
any, will be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to such
noncomplying Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this
clause (G) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the
Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not be
liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Paying Agent, shall make available, upon
written request from the Paying Agent, to the Internal Revenue Service and those
Persons specified by the
-102-
REMIC Provisions, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a
result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any
Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, including the information described in
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to
the "excess inclusions" of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any
regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund,
partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code
that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its
record holders at any time any Person which is not a Permitted Transferee. The
Person holding such Ownership Interest shall be responsible for the reasonable
compensation of the Master Servicer and the Paying Agent for providing such
information.
The provisions of this Section 3.3(e) may be modified, added to or
eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee, the
Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Operating
Adviser and the Depositor the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the
effect that the modification of, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to qualify, downgrade
or withdraw its then current rating of any Class of Certificates;
and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the
Depositor, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will not cause any REMIC Pool to (x)
cease to qualify as a REMIC or (y) be subject to an entity-level tax
caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person which
is not a Permitted Transferee, or cause a Person other than the
prospective Transferee to be subject to a tax caused by the Transfer
of a Residual Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(f) None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar shall have any liability
to the Trust arising from a transfer of any Certificate in reliance upon a
certification, ruling or Opinion of Counsel described in this Section 3.3;
provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not register the
transfer of a Residual Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the proposed
transferee does not meet the qualifications of a permitted Holder of a Residual
Certificate as set forth in Section 3.3(e); provided, further, that the
Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Noneconomic Residual
Interest if it shall have received notice that the Transferor has determined, as
a result of the investigation under Section 3.3(e)(D), that the proposed
Transferee has not paid its debts as they came due or that it will not pay its
debts as they come due in the future. The Certificate Registrar shall have no
obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any
restriction on transfer or exchange of Certificates or any interest therein
imposed under this Article III or under applicable law other than to require
delivery of the certifications and/or opinions described in this Article III;
provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not register the
transfer of a Residual Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the proposed
transferee does not meet the qualifications of a permitted Holder of a Residual
Certificate as set forth in Section 3.3(e). The Certificate Registrar shall have
no liability for transfers (including without limitation transfers made through
the book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among Participants or
Certificate Owners) made in violation of applicable restrictions,
-103-
provided that the Certificate Registrar has satisfied its duties expressly set
forth in Sections 3.3(c), 3.3(d) and 3.3(e).
(g) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall
be physically cancelled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate
Registrar shall hold such cancelled Certificates in accordance with its standard
procedures.
(h) The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer and the Depositor, upon written request, with an updated
copy of the Certificate Register within a reasonable period of time following
receipt of such request.
(i) Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for the individual
Certificates represented thereby, a Global Certificate representing all of the
Certificates of a Class may not be transferred, except as a whole by the
Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to
the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any
such nominee to a successor Clearing Agency or a nominee of such successor
Clearing Agency, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be
registered; provided that this subsection (i) shall not prohibit any transfer of
a Certificate of a Class that is issued in exchange for a Global Certificate of
the same Class pursuant to Section 3.9 below. Nothing in this subsection (i)
shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a
Global Certificate effected in accordance with the other provisions of this
Section 3.3.
SECTION 3.4 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES . If
(A) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or
the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (B) except in the case of a
mutilated Certificate so surrendered, there is delivered to the Certificate
Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate
Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust.
In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.4,
the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate
Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section 3.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 3.5 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Adviser, the Paying Agent and any agent of
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the
Operating Adviser, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as of the related Record Date as the owner of such Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Operating Adviser nor any agent of
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Operating Adviser shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
-104-
SECTION 3.6 ACCESS TO LIST OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS' NAMES AND
ADDRESSES. If three or more Certificateholders, a Certificateholder holding all
the Certificates of any Class of Certificates, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Trustee, the Operating Adviser, or the Depositor
(A) request in writing from the Certificate Registrar a list of the names and
addresses of Certificateholders and (B) in the case of a request by
Certificateholders, state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate
with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or under the Certificates, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within ten
Business Days after the receipt of such request, afford such Certificateholders,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Paying Agent, the
Trustee or the Operating Adviser, as applicable, access during normal business
hours to a current list of the Certificateholders. The expense of providing any
such information requested by such Person shall be borne by the party requesting
such information and shall not be borne by the Certificate Registrar or the
Trustee. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees
that the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the
Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
SECTION 3.7 BOOK-ENTRY CERTIFICATES.
(a) The Class A-1, Class A-1A, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-M,
Class A-J, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class
H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class O and Class P
Certificates, upon original issuance, each shall be issued in the form of one or
more Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to
the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (the
"Depository"), the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor,
provided, that any Non-Investment Grade Certificates sold to Institutional
Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers will be issued
as Definitive Certificates. The Certificates shall initially be registered on
the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the
Depository, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will
receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest
in the Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.9. Unless and until
Definitive Certificates have been issued to the Certificate Owners pursuant to
Section 3.9:
(i) the provisions of this Section 3.7 shall be in full
force and effect with respect to each such Class;
(ii) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent,
the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for
all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Certificates) as the
authorized representative of the Certificate Owners;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.7
conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this
Section 3.7 shall control with respect to each such Class; and
(iv) the rights of the Certificate Owners of each such
Class shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the applicable
Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing
-105-
Agency and/or the Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and
until Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.9, the initial Clearing
Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Participants and receive and
transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Certificates to
such Participants.
(b) For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or
permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of the
Certificates evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by the Clearing
Agency at the direction of Certificate Owners owning Certificates evidencing the
requisite percentage of principal amount of Certificates. The Clearing Agency
may take conflicting actions with respect to the Certificates to the extent that
such actions are taken on behalf of the Certificate Owners.
(c) The Certificates of each Class (other than the Residual
Certificates) initially sold in reliance on Rule 144A or with respect to the
Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates
sold to Institutional Accredited Investors shall be represented by the Rule
144A-IAI Global Certificate for such Class, which shall be deposited with the
Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository and registered in the
name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository. The Class J, Class K, Class L,
Class M, Class N, Class O and Class P Certificates initially sold to
Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers
shall be represented by IAI Definitive Certificates for such Class. The
Certificates evidenced by any Rule 144A-IAI Global Certificate or IAI Definitive
Certificate shall be subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in
Section 3.3 hereof and shall bear legend(s) regarding such restrictions
described herein.
(d) The Certificates of each Class (other than the Residual
Certificates) initially sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation
S shall be represented by the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate for such
Class, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for
the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the
Depository. Not earlier than the Release Date, beneficial interests in any
Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall be exchangeable for beneficial
interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate for such Class.
Beneficial interests in any Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate may be
held only through Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank; provided, however, that
such interests may be exchanged for interests in the Rule 144A-IAI Global
Certificate for such Class in accordance with the certification requirements
described in Section 3.7(f). The Regulation S Permanent Global Certificates
shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the
Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the
Depository.
On or prior to the Release Date and on or prior to any Distribution
Date occurring prior to the Release Date, each Certificate Owner of a Regulation
S Temporary Global Certificate that holds a beneficial interest therein on the
Release Date or on any such Distribution Date, as the case may be, must deliver
to Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank (as applicable) a Regulation S
Certificate; provided, however, that any Certificate Owner that holds a
beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate on the
Release Date or on any such Distribution Date that has previously delivered a
Regulation S Certificate to Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank with respect to
its interest therein does not need to deliver any subsequent Regulation S
Certificate (unless the certificate previously delivered is no longer true as of
such
-106-
subsequent date, and such Certificate Owner must promptly notify Euroclear Bank
or Clearstream Bank, as applicable, thereof). Euroclear Bank or Clearstream
Bank, as applicable, shall be required to promptly deliver to the Certificate
Registrar a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto to the
effect that it has received the requisite Regulation S Certificates for each
such Class, and no Certificate Owner (or transferee from any such Certificate
Owner) shall be entitled to receive an interest in the Regulation S Permanent
Global Certificate for such Class or any payment or principal or interest with
respect to its interest in such Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate prior
to the Certificate Registrar receiving such certification from Euroclear Bank or
Clearstream Bank with respect to the portion of the Regulation S Temporary
Global Certificate owned by such Certificate Owner (and, with respect to an
interest in the applicable Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate, prior to
the Release Date). After the Release Date, distributions due with respect to any
beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall not be
made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a
beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate is
improperly withheld or refused. No interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate
may be held by or transferred to a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S)
except for exchanges for a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A-IAI Global
Certificate for such Class as set forth in Section 3.7(f).
(e) Except in the limited circumstances described below in
Section 3.9, owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates shall not be
entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Certificates. The
Certificates are not issuable in bearer form. Upon the issuance of each Global
Certificate, the Depository or its custodian shall credit, on its internal
system, the respective principal amount of the individual beneficial interests
represented by such Global Certificate to the accounts of Persons who have
accounts with such Depository. Such accounts initially shall be designated by or
on behalf of the Underwriters and the Placement Agent. Ownership of beneficial
interests in a Global Certificate shall be limited to Customers or Persons who
hold interests directly or indirectly through Customers. Ownership of beneficial
interests in the Global Certificates shall be shown on, and the transfer of that
ownership shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository
or its nominee (with respect to interests of Customers) and the records of
Customers (with respect to interests of Persons other than Customers).
So long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered holder
of a Global Certificate, the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be,
shall be considered the sole owner and holder of the Certificates represented by
such Global Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement and the
Certificates, including, without limitation, obtaining consents and waivers
thereunder, and the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar
shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Except under the
circumstance described in Section 3.9, owners of beneficial interests in a
Global Certificate will not be entitled to have any portions of such Global
Certificate registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to
receive physical delivery of Definitive Certificates in certificated form and
shall not be considered the owners or holders of the Global Certificate (or any
Certificates represented thereby) under this Agreement or the Certificates. In
addition, no Certificate Owner of an interest in a Global Certificate shall be
able to transfer that interest except in accordance with the Depository's
applicable procedures (in addition to those under this Agreement and, if
applicable, those of Euroclear Bank and Clearstream Bank).
-107-
(f) Any holder of an interest in a Regulation S Global
Certificate shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Certificate
Registrar, Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank, as applicable, and the
Depository, in the form of an Exchange Certification (substantially in the form
of Exhibit H attached hereto), to exchange all or a portion of such interest (in
authorized denominations as set forth in Section 3.1(b)) for an equivalent
interest in the Rule 144A-IAI Global Certificate for such Class in connection
with a transfer of its interest therein to a transferee that is eligible to hold
an interest in such Rule 144A-IAI Global Certificate as set forth herein;
provided, however, that no Exchange Certification shall be required if any such
exchange occurs after the Release Date. Any holder of an interest in the Rule
144A-IAI Global Certificate shall have the right, upon prior written notice to
the Certificate Registrar, the Depository and Euroclear Bank or Clearstream
Bank, as applicable, in the form of an Exchange Certification, to exchange all
or a portion of such interest (in authorized denominations as set forth in
Section 3.1(b)) for an equivalent interest in the Regulation S Global
Certificate for such Class in connection with a transfer of its interest therein
to a transferee that is eligible to hold an interest in such Regulation S Global
Certificate as set forth herein; provided, however, that if such exchange occurs
prior to the Release Date, the transferee shall acquire an interest in a
Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate only and shall be subject to all of
the restrictions associated therewith described in Section 3.7(d). Following
receipt of any Exchange Certification or request for transfer, as applicable, by
the Certificate Registrar: (i) the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the
schedule to any Global Certificate representing the Certificate or Certificates
being exchanged to reduce the stated principal amount of such Global Certificate
by the denominations of the Certificate or Certificates for which such exchange
is to be made, and (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the schedule to
any Global Certificate representing the Certificate or Certificates for which
such exchange is to be made to increase the stated principal amount of such
Global Certificate by the denominations of the Certificate or Certificates being
exchanged therefor. The form of the Exchange Certification shall be available
from the Certificate Registrar.
SECTION 3.8 NOTICES TO CLEARING AGENCY. Whenever notice or other
communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless
and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.9, the Paying Agent shall give all such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the
Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency which shall give such notices and
communications to the related Participants in accordance with its applicable
rules, regulations and procedures.
SECTION 3.9 DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES.
(a) Definitive Certificates will be issued to the owners of
beneficial interests in a Global Certificate or their nominees if (i) the
Clearing Agency notifies the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar in writing
that the Clearing Agency is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for
such Global Certificate and a qualifying successor depositary is not appointed
by the Depositor within 90 days thereof, (ii) the Trustee has instituted or
caused to be instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial
proceeding in a court to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under this
Agreement and under such Global Certificate and the Trustee has been advised by
counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or advisable for
the Trustee or its custodian to obtain possession of such Global Certificate, or
(iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners
representing a majority in aggregate
-108-
outstanding Certificate Balance of such Global Certificate advise the Clearing
Agency through the Participants in writing (and the Clearing Agency so advises
the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer in writing)
that the continuation in global form of the Certificates being evidenced by such
Global Certificate is no longer in their best interests; provided, that under no
circumstances will Definitive Certificates be issued to Certificate Owners of
the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of
any of the events described in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Registrar
shall notify the Clearing Agency and request the Clearing Agency to notify all
Certificate Owners, through the applicable Participants, of the occurrence of
the event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to such Certificate
Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the
Global Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Certificate
Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, the Definitive Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the extent applicable with respect to
such Definitive Certificates, and the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee and
the Paying Agent shall recognize the Holders of Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
(b) Distributions of principal and interest on the Definitive
Certificates shall be made by the Paying Agent directly to holders of Definitive
Certificates in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
ADVANCES
P&I Advances and Servicing Advances shall be made as provided herein
by the Master Servicer and, if the Master Servicer does not make such Advances,
by the Trustee except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, determines in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such
Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
SECTION 4.1 P&I ADVANCES BY MASTER SERVICER.
(a) On or prior to the Advance Report Date, the Master Servicer
shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent if the P&I Advance Amount for such
Distribution Date is greater than zero (provided that such notice shall be
deemed given if the Master Servicer complies with its obligations under Section
8.11(a) ), and the Master Servicer shall make a P&I Advance in respect of each
applicable Mortgage Loan of such amount no later than the Master Servicer
Remittance Date. It is understood that the obligation of the Master Servicer to
make such P&I Advances is mandatory and shall apply through any court appointed
stay period or similar payment delay resulting from any insolvency of the
Mortgagor or related bankruptcy, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be
required to make such P&I Advance, if the Master Servicer determines, in
accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such P&I Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance and shall not make such P&I Advance if such P&I Advance
if made would be a Nonrecoverable Advance as determined by the Special
-109-
Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard, in which event the Special
Servicer shall promptly direct the Master Servicer not to make such P&I Advance.
Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. The Special Servicer shall not make P&I Advances under this
Agreement. If the Master Servicer has reason to believe that it will not make a
P&I Advance that it is required to make under this Section 4.1 or knowingly
fails to make any such P&I Advance, it shall promptly notify the Trustee and the
Paying Agent that it either will not make such P&I Advance or that it has failed
to make such P&I Advance.
(b) If the Master Servicer determines that there is a P&I
Advance Amount for a Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall on the related
Master Servicer Remittance Date either (A) deposit in the Certificate Account an
amount equal to the P&I Advance Amount or (B) utilize funds in the Certificate
Account being held for future distributions or withdrawals to make such Advance.
Any funds being held in the Certificate Account for future distribution or
withdrawal and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer from its own
funds by deposit in the Certificate Account on or before any future Master
Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on
such Master Servicer Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Paying
Agent or other Persons required to be made on such date.
SECTION 4.1A P&I ADVANCES WITH RESPECT TO NON-SERVICED MORTGAGE
LOANS AND SERVICED PARI PASSU MORTGAGE LOANS.
With respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Pari
Passu Mortgage Loans (the "P&I Pari Passu Loans"), the Master Servicer shall
make its determination that a P&I Advance previously made on any P&I Pari Passu
Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made,
would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such P&I Pari Passu
Loan in accordance with Section 4.1 independently of any determination made by
any Other Master Servicer under the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and
Servicing Agreement in respect of any P&I Pari Passu Loan following deposit of
the Non-Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans
into a commercial mortgage securitization trust, and the Other Master Servicer
shall make its own determination that it has made a P&I Advance that is a
Nonrecoverable Advance (both as defined in the related Other Companion Loan
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made,
would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (both as defined in the related Other
Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) with respect to the Non-Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loans or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans, as applicable, in
accordance with the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The determination by either the Master Servicer or the Other Master
Servicer made on the earlier of (i) the Advance Report Date and (ii) the Other
Advance Report Date that any such P&I Advance is nonrecoverable shall be binding
on the Other Master Servicer and the Master Servicer, as applicable, the
Certificateholders and the holders of any securities relating to the
Non-Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans, as
applicable.
The Master Servicer shall not make a P&I Advance with respect to any
P&I Pari Passu Loan after its receipt of notice from the related Other Master
Servicer that it has determined that it has made a P&I Advance that is a
Nonrecoverable Advance on the Non-Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans or Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loans, as applicable, or that any proposed P&I Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to the relevant Other
Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If
-110-
the Master Servicer determines that a P&I Advance would be (if made), or any
outstanding P&I Advance previously made is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master
Servicer shall provide the Other Master Servicer written notice of such
determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice by the Other
Master Servicer that it has determined, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, that
any proposed future P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding P&I Advance is, a
Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall not make any additional P&I
Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan unless the Master Servicer has
consulted with the Other Master Servicer and they both agree that circumstances
with respect to such Mortgage Loan have changed such that a proposed future P&I
Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Master Servicer shall continue to have the discretion provided in this
Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance
would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance. Once such a
determination is made by the Master Servicer or the Master Servicer receives
written notice of such determination by the Other Master Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall follow the process set forth in this paragraph before making any
additional P&I Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
Following a securitization of a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan,
the Master Servicer shall be required to deliver to the related Other Master
Servicer the following information: (i) any loan related information (in the
form received), including without limitation CMSA Reports relating to the
related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, applicable to a determination that an
Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, within one Business Day of the
Master Servicer's receipt thereof, (ii) notice of any Servicing Advance it, the
Trustee makes with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan
within one Business Day of the making of such Advance and (iii) notice of any
determination that any Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance within one
Business Day thereof.
SECTION 4.2 SERVICING ADVANCES. The Master Servicer and, if the
Master Servicer does not, the Trustee to the extent the Trustee receives written
notice from the Paying Agent that such Advance has not been made by the Master
Servicer shall make Servicing Advances to the extent provided in this Agreement,
except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee as applicable,
determines in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be
a Nonrecoverable Advance and, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.2,
except to the extent the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the
Servicing Standard and Section 4.4 that such Advance, if made, would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance, in which event the Special Servicer shall promptly
direct the Master Servicer not to make such Advance. Such determination by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be conclusive and binding on the
Trustee and the Certificateholders and, in the case of any B Note, the holder of
the related B Note and, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan,
the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer
shall not be required to make Servicing Advances under this Agreement but may
make such Servicing Advances at its option in which event the Master Servicer
shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Servicing Advance within 30 days
of receipt of a statement therefor. Promptly after discovering that the Master
Servicer has failed to make a Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer is
required to make hereunder, the Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee
in writing of the failure by the Master Servicer to make such Servicing Advance.
The Master Servicer may make Servicing Advances in its own discretion, but is
not under any obligation to do so, if it determines that making such Servicing
Advance is in the best interest of the Certificateholders (and in the case of
-111-
any A/B Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related B Note and the Trust as a
collective whole and in the case of any Loan Pair, the holder of the related
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and the Trust as a collective whole), even if
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with
Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
The applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer is
obligated to make Servicing Advances pursuant to the related Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation or authority to
make Servicing Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 4.3 ADVANCES BY THE TRUSTEE.
(a) To the extent that the Master Servicer fails to make a P&I
Advance with respect to a Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer Remittance Date
(other than a P&I Advance that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
determines is a Nonrecoverable Advance), the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance
with respect to such Mortgage Loan to the extent the Trustee receives written
notice from the Paying Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on
the Distribution Date that such Advance has not been made by the Master Servicer
on the Master Servicer Remittance Date unless the Trustee determines that such
P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Paying Agent shall
notify the Trustee in writing as soon as practicable, but not later than 10:00
a.m. (New York City time) on the Distribution Date if the Master Servicer has
failed to make a P&I Advance. The Paying Agent shall notify the Master Servicer
in writing as soon as practicable, but not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date if it has not received a P&I
Advance with respect to a Mortgage Loans set forth in the Master Servicer
Remittance Report provided to the Paying Agent on the related Advance Report
Date.
(b) To the extent that the Master Servicer fails to make a
Servicing Advance by the date such Servicing Advance is required to be made
(other than a Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer determines is a
Nonrecoverable Advance), and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives
actual notice thereof, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance promptly,
but in any event, not later than five Business Days after notice thereof in
accordance with Section 4.2, unless the Trustee determines that such Servicing
Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
SECTION 4.4 EVIDENCE OF NONRECOVERABILITY.
(a) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines at
any time, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that any Advance
previously made (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) or any proposed
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, such determination
shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Special Servicer, the Operating Adviser
and the Rating Agencies (and the holder of the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
if the Advance relates to a Loan Pair) by the Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date. Such Officer's Certificate shall set forth the reasons for
such determination of nonrecoverability, together with, to the extent such
information, report or document is in the
-112-
Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's possession, any related financial
information such as related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy
status, property inspections and any Appraisals performed within the last 12
months on the Mortgaged Property, and, if such reports are used by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to determine that any P&I
Advance or Servicing Advance, as applicable, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance,
any engineers' reports, environmental surveys, internal final valuations or
other information relevant thereto which support such determination. If the
Trustee determines at any time that any portion of an Advance previously made or
a portion of a proposed Advance that the Trustee is required to make pursuant to
this Agreement, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, such
determination shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Operating Adviser similar to the
Officer's Certificate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer described
in the prior sentence. If the Special Servicer determines at any time that any
portion of an Advance previously made would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance,
such determination shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of a
Responsible Officer of the Special Servicer, delivered to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Operating Adviser similar
to the Officer's Certificate of the Master Servicer described above. The Trustee
shall not be required to make an Advance that the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan included in a Loan Pair or any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Other Master Servicer) has previously
determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Trustee shall be obligated to, nor shall it, make any Advance or make any
payment that is designated in this Agreement to be an Advance, if it determines,
with regard to the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment or, with respect
to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard that such Advance or such payment (including interest accrued thereon
at the Advance Rate) would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer's
and Special Servicer's determinations in accordance with the above provisions
shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in
respect of prior P&I Advances and Servicing Advances as outstanding Advances for
purposes of nonrecoverablility determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance
were a P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as applicable.
(b) Any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer, Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Trustee or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Fiscal Agent, as applicable,
shall be entitled to reimbursement for Pari Passu Loan Nonrecoverable Advances
pursuant to and to the extent set forth in the related Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Intercreditor Agreement (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon provided for under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) in the manner set forth in Section 5.2.
SECTION 4.5 INTEREST ON ADVANCES; CALCULATION OF OUTSTANDING
ADVANCES WITH RESPECT TO A MORTGAGE LOAN. Any unreimbursed Advance funded from
the Master Servicer's, the Special Servicer's or the Trustee's own funds shall
accrue interest on a daily basis, at a per annum rate equal to the Advance Rate,
from and including the date such Advance was made to but not including the date
on which such Advance has been reimbursed; provided, however, that neither the
Master Servicer nor any other party shall be entitled to interest accrued on the
amount of any P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan or any B Note for
the
-113-
period commencing on the date of such P&I Advance and ending on the day on which
the grace period applicable to the related Mortgagor's obligation to make the
related Scheduled Payment expires pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan or B
Note documents. All Late Collections on any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan in
respect of interest shall, promptly following receipt thereof, be applied by the
Master Servicer to reimburse the interest component of any P&I Advance
outstanding with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Any party that
makes a P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall provide
to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer monthly, at least
two Business Days prior to the next succeeding Due Date for such Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan, written notice of whether (and, if any, how much) Advance
Interest will be payable on the interest component of that P&I Advance through
the next succeeding related Master Servicer Remittance Date. For purposes of
determining whether a P&I Advance is outstanding, amounts collected with respect
to a particular Mortgage Loan, B Note or REO Property and treated as collections
of principal or interest shall be applied first to reimburse the earliest P&I
Advance, and then each succeeding P&I Advance to the extent not inconsistent
with Section 4.6. The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the
Servicing Standard to collect (but shall have no further obligation to collect),
with respect to the Mortgage Loans (and the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans)
that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, Late Fees and default interest
from the Mortgagor in an amount sufficient to pay Advance Interest. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to retain Late Fees and default interest paid by any
Mortgagor during a Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other
than the portion of such Late Fee and default interest that relates to the
period commencing after the Servicing Transfer Event in respect of a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, as to which the Special Servicer shall retain Late Fees
and default interest with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan,
subject to the offsets set forth below) as additional servicing compensation
only to the extent such Late Fees and default interest exceed Advance Interest
on a "pool basis" for all Mortgage Loans other than Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans. The Special Servicer, with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, shall (i) pay from any Late Fees and default interest collected from such
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (a) any outstanding and unpaid Advance Interest
in respect of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer or
the Trustee, as applicable and (b) to the Trust, any losses previously incurred
by the Trust with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (ii)
retain any remaining portion of such Late Fees and default interest as
additional Special Servicer Compensation.
SECTION 4.6 REIMBURSEMENT OF ADVANCES AND ADVANCE INTEREST.
(a) Advances made with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan, B Note, Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO
Property (including Advances later determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) and
Advance Interest thereon shall be reimbursed to the extent of the amounts
identified to be applied therefor in Section 5.2. The aggregate of the amounts
available to repay Advances and Advance Interest thereon pursuant to Section 5.2
collected in any Collection Period with respect to Mortgage Loans, any Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan or any B Note or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or
REO Property shall be an "Available Advance Reimbursement Amount."
(b) To the extent that Advances have been made on the Mortgage
Loans, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, any B Note, any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans or any REO Mortgage Loans, the Available Advance Reimbursement
Amount with respect to any
-114-
Determination Date shall be applied to reimburse (i) the Trustee for any
Advances outstanding to the Trustee with respect to any of such Mortgage Loans,
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, B Note, Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or
REO Mortgage Loans, plus any Advance Interest owed to the Trustee with respect
to such Advances and then (ii) the Master Servicer for any Advances outstanding
to the Master Servicer with respect to any of such Mortgage Loans, Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan, B Note, Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO
Mortgage Loans, plus any Advance Interest owed to the Master Servicer with
respect to such Advances and then (iii) the Special Servicer for any Advances
outstanding to the Special Servicer with respect to any of such Mortgage Loans,
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, B Note, Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or
REO Mortgage Loans, plus any Advance Interest owed to the Special Servicer with
respect to such Advances. To the extent that any Advance Interest payable to the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee with respect to a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan cannot be recovered from the related
Mortgagor, the amount of such Advance Interest shall be payable to the Trustee,
the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, from amounts on
deposit in the Certificate Account (or sub-account thereof) or the Distribution
Account, to the extent of amounts identified to be applied therefor, pursuant to
Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.3(b)(ii). The Master Servicer's, the Special
Servicer's and the Trustee's right of reimbursement under this Agreement for
Advances shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders (and, in the
case of a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the holder thereof and, in the case
of a B Note, the holder thereof) to receive any amounts recovered with respect
to such Mortgage Loans, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans, B Notes or REO
Mortgage Loans.
(c) Advance Interest will be paid to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and/or the Special Servicer (in accordance with the priorities
specified in the preceding paragraph) first, from Late Fees and default interest
collected from the Mortgage Loans during the Collection Period during which the
related Advance is reimbursed, and then from Excess Liquidation Proceeds then
available prior to payment from any other amounts. Late Fees and default
interest will be applied on a "pool basis" for non-Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans and on a "loan-by-loan basis" (under which Late Fees and default interest
will be offset against the Advance Interest arising only from that particular
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) for Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, as the
case may be, to the payment of Advance Interest on all Advances on such
non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans,
as the case may be, then being reimbursed. Advance Interest payable to the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee in respect of Servicing
Advances on any Loan Pair shall be allocated to the Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage
Loan and the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan on a pro rata basis based upon the
Principal Balance thereof.
(d) Amounts applied to reimburse Advances shall first be applied
to reduce Advance Interest thereon that was not paid from amounts specified in
the preceding paragraph (c) and then to reduce the outstanding amount of such
Advances.
(e) To the extent that the Special Servicer incurs out-of-pocket
expenses, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, in connection with
servicing Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall reimburse
the Special Servicer for such expenditures within 30 days after receiving an
invoice and a report from the Special Servicer, subject to Section 4.4. With
respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver such
invoice and report to the Master Servicer by the following Determination Date.
All such
-115-
amounts reimbursed by the Master Servicer shall be a Servicing Advance, subject
to Section 4.4. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to reimburse the
Special Servicer hereunder or the Master Servicer determines that such Servicing
Advance was or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and the Master
Servicer does not make such payment, the Special Servicer shall notify the
Master Servicer and the Paying Agent in writing of such nonpayment and the
amount payable to the Special Servicer and shall be entitled to receive
reimbursement from the Trust as an Additional Trust Expense. The Master
Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall have no obligation to verify
the amount payable to the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.6(e) and
circumstances surrounding the notice delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant
to this Section 4.6(e).

-118-
Remittances from any REO Account to the Master Servicer for deposit
in the Certificate Account shall be made by the Special Servicer no later than
the Special Servicer Remittance Date.
(d) The Paying Agent, for so long as it maintains the Interest
Reserve Account or the Master Servicer if the Paying Agent fails to maintain the
Interest Reserve Account, with respect to each Distribution Date occurring in
January (other than in any leap year) and February of each year, shall deposit
in the Interest Reserve Account in respect of each Interest Reserve Loan, an
amount equal to one day's interest at the related REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate
(without any conversion to a 30/360 basis as provided in the definition thereof)
on the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in
the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, to the extent a Scheduled
Payment or P&I Advance is timely made in respect thereof for such Due Date (all
amounts so deposited in any consecutive January and February in respect of each
Interest Reserve Loan, the "Interest Reserve Amount"). For purposes of
determining amounts to be deposited into the Interest Reserve Account, the REMIC
I Net Mortgage Rate used in this calculation for those months will be calculated
without regard to any adjustment for Interest Reserve Amounts or the interest
accrual basis as set forth in the proviso to the definition of "REMIC I Net
Mortgage Rate."
(e) Funds in the Certificate Account (including any A/B Loan
Custodial Accounts or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Accounts) and
Interest Reserve Account may be invested and, if invested, shall be invested by,
and at the risk of, the Master Servicer (or in the case of the Interest Reserve
Account, the Paying Agent for so long as the Paying Agent maintains such account
on behalf of the Master Servicer) in Eligible Investments selected by the Master
Servicer (or the Paying Agent, as applicable) which shall mature, unless payable
on demand, not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Master
Servicer Remittance Date, and any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or
disposed of prior to its maturity unless payable on demand. All such Eligible
Investments shall be made in the name of "Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National
Association, as Trustee for the Holders of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc.,
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-HQ13 and the holder
of any related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note as their interests may
appear." None of the Depositor, the Mortgagors, the Paying Agent or the Trustee
shall be liable for any loss incurred on such Eligible Investments (other than
in the case of Eligible Investments made by the Paying Agent with respect to
amounts in the Interest Reserve Account for so long as the Paying Agent
maintains the Interest Reserve Account on behalf of the Master Servicer).
An amount equal to all income and gain realized from any such
investment shall be paid to the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time from time to
time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall
be for the account of the Master Servicer which shall deposit the amount of such
loss (to the extent not offset by income from other investments) in the
Certificate Account (and, solely to the extent that the loss is of an amount
credited to an A/B Loan Custodial Account or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
Custodial Account, deposit to the related A/B Loan Custodial Account or Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Account, as the case may be) or Interest
Reserve Account, as the case may be, out of its own funds promptly as realized;
provided that, such investment losses shall not include any loss with respect to
such investment which is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the
federal or state chartered depositary institution or trust company at which such
Investment Account is maintained, so long
-119-
as such depositary institution or trust company (a) satisfied the qualifications
set forth in the definition of "Eligible Account" both at the time such
investment was made and as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the date of
such loss and (b) is not the Person that made the relevant investment; provided
further that, for so long as the Paying Agent maintains the Interest Reserve
Account, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to invest amounts in the Interest
Reserve Account and shall be permitted to retain income and gain realized on
such investments and shall be liable for any losses on such investments as if it
were the Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer deposits in or transfers to the
Certificate Account, any A/B Loan Custodial Account, any Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan Custodial Account or the Interest Reserve Account, as the case may
be, any amount not required to be deposited therein or transferred thereto, it
may at any time withdraw such amount or retransfer such amount from the
Certificate Account, such A/B Loan Custodial Account, such Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan Custodial Account or the Interest Reserve Account, as the case may
be, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(f) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if
any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Eligible Investment,
or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Eligible
Investment, the Paying Agent on behalf of and at the direction of the Trustee
may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or
performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer shall have deposited
in the Certificate Account, the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
Custodial Account, the related A/B Loan Custodial Account or the Interest
Reserve Account, as applicable, an amount equal to all amounts due under any
such Eligible Investment (net of anticipated income or earnings thereon that
would have been payable to the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation) the Master Servicer shall have the sole right to enforce such
payment or performance.
(g) Certain of the Mortgage Loans may provide for payment by the
Mortgagor to the Master Servicer of amounts to be used for payment of Escrow
Amounts for the account of the Mortgagor. The Master Servicer shall deal with
these amounts in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the terms of the
related Mortgage Loans and Section 8.3(e) hereof, and the applicable Primary
Servicer will be entitled to hold any Escrow Accounts relating to the Mortgage
Loans that it services in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section
8.3(e). Within 20 days following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the
Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Operating
Adviser for each Mortgage Loan set forth on Schedule VII hereto, a brief
statement as to the status of the work or project based on the most recent
information provided by the Mortgagor. Schedule VII sets forth those Mortgage
Loans as to which an upfront reserve was collected at closing in an amount in
excess of $75,000 with respect to specific immediate engineering work,
completion of additional construction, environmental remediation or similar
one-time projects (but not with respect to escrow accounts maintained for
ongoing obligations, such as real estate taxes, insurance premiums, ongoing
property maintenance, replacements and capital improvements or debt service). If
the work or project is not completed in accordance with the requirements of the
escrow, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (which shall itself consult
with the Operating Adviser) will consult with each other as to whether there
exists a material default under the underlying Mortgage Loan documents.
-120-
(h) In the case of the Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule XI, as
to which the Scheduled Payment is due in a calendar month on a Due Date
(including any grace period) that may occur after the end of the Collection
Period ending in such calendar month, the Master Servicer shall, unless the
Scheduled Payment is received before the end of such Collection Period, make a
P&I Advance by deposit to the Certificate Account on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date in an amount equal to the Scheduled Payment or the Assumed
Scheduled Payment, as applicable, and for purposes of the definition of
"Available Distribution Amount" and "Principal Distribution Amount," such
Scheduled Payment or Assumed Scheduled Payment, as applicable, shall be deemed
to have been received in such Collection Period.
(i) If the Paying Agent fails to maintain the Interest Reserve
Account in accordance with this Section 5.1 or fails to withdraw the amounts in
the Interest Reserve Account and deposit such amounts into the Distribution
Account in accordance with Section 5.2(c), then the Master Servicer shall assume
the Paying Agent's responsibilities hereunder with respect to the maintenance of
the Interest Reserve Account and the Paying Agent shall immediately transfer all
funds in the Interest Reserve Account to a new "Interest Reserve Account"
account that shall be maintained by the Master Servicer as the new account in
the name of "Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer for Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee for the Holders of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx
Capital I Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2007-HQ13".

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

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

holder of such B Note to reimbursement of cure payments made by it).
and provided further, however, that in the case of any Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan:
(A) the Master Servicer shall be entitled to make
transfers from time to time, from the related Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan Custodial Account to the portion of the Certificate
Account that does not constitute any Serviced Companion Mortgage
Loan Custodial Account, of amounts necessary for the payments or
reimbursement of amounts described in any one or more of clauses
(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (xii)
above, but only insofar as the
-125-
payment or reimbursement described therein arises from or is related
solely to such Loan Pair and is allocable to the Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to
make transfers from time to time, from the related Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Account to the portion of the
Certificate Account that does not constitute any Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan Custodial Account, of amounts transferred to such

amounts previously transferred from the related Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan Custodial Account in accordance with this clause (A))
of amounts necessary for the payment or reimbursement of amounts
described in any one or more of the foregoing clauses;
(B) the Master Servicer shall be entitled to make
transfers from time to time, from the related Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan Custodial Account to the portion of the Certificate

(A) above to which the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan
is entitled under the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement
(including in respect of interest, principal and Prepayment
Premiums); and
(C) the Master Servicer shall, on either (x) the later of
(i) one (1) Business Day after the related Determination Date or

Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan (in their respective sole
discretion), remit to the holder of the related Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan all amounts on deposit in such related Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Account (net of amounts permitted
or required to be transferred therefrom as set forth in clauses (A)
and/or (B) above), to the extent that the holder of such Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan is entitled thereto under the related Loan
Pair Intercreditor Agreement.
No decision by the Master Servicer or the Trustee under either this
Section 5.2(a) or subsection (iv) of Section 5.2(a)(II), to defer the
reimbursement of Advances and/or Advance Interest shall be construed as an
agreement by the Master Servicer to subordinate (in respect of realizing
losses), to any Class of Certificates, such party's right to such reimbursement
during such period of deferral.
Expenses incurred with respect to any Loan Pair shall be allocated
in accordance with the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement (or with
respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan treated as a Loan Pair in accordance with
Section 8.31 hereof, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents). Expenses incurred
with respect to an A/B Mortgage Loan shall be allocated in accordance with the
related Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer shall keep and
-126-
maintain a separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan and B Note for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal or
transfer from the Certificate Account, each Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
Custodial Account and any A/B Loan Custodial Account, as applicable. If funds
collected in respect of the A Notes are insufficient to pay the Master Servicing
Fee, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw the amount of such
shortfall from the collections on, and other proceeds of, the B Note that are
held in the related A/B Loan Custodial Account. The Master Servicer shall not be
permitted to withdraw any funds from the portion of the Certificate Account that
does not constitute the A/B Loan Custodial Account unless there are no remaining
funds in the related A/B Loan Custodial Account available and required to be
paid in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.
Subsection (II). The provisions of this subsection II of this
Section 5.2(a) shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection
(I) of this Section 5.2(a):
(i) Identification of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amounts. If any Advance made with respect to any Mortgage Loan on or
before the date on which such Mortgage Loan becomes (or, but for the
requirement that the Mortgagor shall have made three consecutive
scheduled payments under its modified terms, would then constitute)
a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, together with Advance Interest
accrued thereon, is not, pursuant to the operation of the provisions
of Section 5.2(a)(I), reimbursed to the Person who made such Advance
on or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a
Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, such Advance, together with such
Advance Interest, shall constitute a "Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amount" to the extent that such amount has not been determined to
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. All references herein to
"Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount" shall be construed always to
mean the related Advance and any Advance Interest thereon, together
with any further Advance Interest that accrues on the unreimbursed
portion of such Advance from time to time in accordance with the
other provisions of this Agreement. That any amount constitutes all
or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount shall not
in any manner limit the right of any Person hereunder to determine
that such amount instead constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(ii) General Relationship of Provisions. Subsection (iii)
below (subject to the terms and conditions thereof) sets forth the
terms of and conditions to the right of a Person to be reimbursed
for any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount to the extent that such
Person is not otherwise entitled to reimbursement and payment of
such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount pursuant to the operation
of Section 5.2(a)(I) above. Subsection (iv) below (subject to the
terms and conditions thereof) authorizes the Master Servicer to
abstain from reimbursing itself (or, if applicable, the Trustee to
abstain from obtaining reimbursement) for Nonrecoverable Advances
under certain circumstances at its sole option. Upon any
determination that all or any portion of a Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amount constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance, then the
reimbursement or payment of such amount (and any further Advance
Interest that may accrue thereon) shall cease to be subject to the
operation of subsection (iii) below, such amount (and further
Advance Interest)
-127-
shall be as fully payable and reimbursable to the relevant Person as
would any other Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest
thereon) and, as a Nonrecoverable Advance, such amount may become
the subject of the Master Servicer's (or, if applicable, the
Trustee's) exercise of its sole option authorized by subsection (iv)
below.
(iii) Reimbursements of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amounts. The Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer,
as applicable, and in that order, shall be entitled to reimbursement
and payment for all Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts in each
Collection Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount (for
all such Persons collectively) of such reimbursements and payments
in such Collection Period shall not exceed (and the reimbursement
and payment shall be made from) the aggregate amount in the
Collection Account allocable to principal received or advanced with
respect to the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period
contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the definition of Principal
Distribution Amount (but not including any such amounts that
constitute Advances) and net of any Nonrecoverable Advances then
outstanding and reimbursable from such principal in accordance with
Section 5.2(a)(II)(iv) below. As and to the extent provided in
clause (II)(A) of the definition thereof, the Principal Distribution
Amount for the Distribution Date related to such Collection Period
shall be reduced to the extent that such payment or reimbursement of
a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount is made from the aggregate
amount in the Collection Account allocable to principal pursuant to
the preceding sentence.
(iv) Reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances; Sole Option
to Abstain from Reimbursements of Certain Nonrecoverable Advances.
To the extent that Section 5.2(a)(I) otherwise entitles the Master
Servicer to reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance (or payment
of Advance Interest thereon from a source other than Late Fees and
default interest on the related Mortgage Loan) during any Collection
Period, then, notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection
(I) above, (a) to the extent that one or more such reimbursements
and payments of Nonrecoverable Advances (and such Advance Interest
thereon) are made, such reimbursements and payments shall be made,
first, from the aggregate amount in the Collection Account allocable
to principal received or advanced with respect to the Mortgage Loans
for such Collection Period contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the
definition of Principal Distribution Amount (but not including any
such amounts that constitute Advances, and prior to any deduction
for Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (and Advance Interest
thereon) that were reimbursed or paid during the related Collection
Period from amounts allocable to principal received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans, as described by clause (II)(A) of the definition
of Principal Distribution Amount and pursuant to subsection (iii) of
Section 5.2(a)(II)), and then from other collections (including
interest) on the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period, and (b)
if and to the extent that the amount of such a Nonrecoverable
Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), together with all
Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) theretofore
reimbursed during such Collection Period, would exceed such
principal on the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period
-128-
(and Advance Interest thereon), the Master Servicer (and the
Trustee, if it made the relevant Advance) is hereby authorized (but
shall not be construed to have any obligation whatsoever), if it
elects at its sole option, to abstain from reimbursing itself
(notwithstanding that it is entitled to such reimbursement) during
that Collection Period for all or a portion of such Nonrecoverable
Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), provided that the aggregate
amount that is deferred with respect to all Nonrecoverable Advances
(and Advance Interest thereon) with respect to all Mortgage Loans
for any particular Collection Period is less than or equal to such
excess described above in this clause (b). If the Master Servicer
(or the Trustee) makes such an election at its sole option to defer
reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable
Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable
Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof shall
continue to be fully reimbursable in any subsequent Collection
Period to the same extent as set forth above. In connection with a
potential election by the Master Servicer to abstain from the
reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion
thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the
Master Servicer (or the Trustee) shall further be authorized to wait
for principal collections to be received before making its
determination of whether to abstain from the reimbursement of a
particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof until the end
of the Collection Period.
The reimbursements of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amounts set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall take into
account the allocation of amounts described in the last sentence of the
definition of "Liquidation Realized Loss."
None of the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall have any
liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an
election, that is authorized under this subsection (II)(iv). The foregoing
shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise
be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with
the conditions to making such an election under this subsection (II)(iv)
or to comply with the terms of this subsection (II)(iv) and the other
provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has
been made.
Any election by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee) to
abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (and
Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any
Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the Master Servicer
(or the Trustee) any obligation to make such an election (or any
entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such
an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or to
constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the Master Servicer (or
the Trustee) to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance
(and Advance Interest thereon). Any election by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee to abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance
or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Collection Periods
shall not limit the accrual of Advance Interest on the unreimbursed
portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual
reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. None of the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any
liability to one another or to any of the
-129-
Certificateholders or any holder of a B Note or Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan for any such election that such party makes as contemplated
by this subsection or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or
other effects that may arise from such an election. The foregoing
statements in this paragraph shall not limit the generality of the
statements made in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, none of the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall have the
right to abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance to
the extent of the amount described in clause (I)(A) of the definition of
Principal Distribution Amount.
(v) Reimbursement Rights of the Master Servicer, Special
Servicer and Trustee Are Senior. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to create in any Certificateholder a right to prior payment
of distributions over the Master Servicer's, the Special Servicer's
or the Trustee's right to reimbursement for Advances plus Advance
Interest (whether those that constitute Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amounts, those that have been the subject of the
Master Servicer's election authorized in subsection (iv) or
otherwise).
(b) Scheduled Payments due in a Collection Period succeeding the
Collection Period relating to such Master Servicer Remittance Date, Principal
Prepayments received after the related Collection Period, or other amounts not
distributable on the related Distribution Date, shall be held in the Certificate
Account (or sub-account thereof) and shall be distributed on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date or Dates to which such succeeding Collection Period or Periods
relate, provided, however, that as to the Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule
XI, for which the Scheduled Payment due each month is due on a Due Date
(including any grace period) that may occur after the end of the Collection
Period in such month, sums received by the Master Servicer with respect to such
Scheduled Payment but after the end of such Collection Period shall be applied
by the Master Servicer to reimburse any related P&I Advance made pursuant to
Section 5.1(h), and the Master Servicer shall remit to the Distribution Account
on any Master Servicer Remittance Date for a Collection Period any Principal
Prepayments and Balloon Payments received after the end of such Collection
Period but no later than the second Business Day immediately preceding such
Master Servicer Remittance Date on the Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule XI.
The Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to remit to the Distribution
Account on any Master Servicer Remittance Date for a Collection Period any
Balloon Payments received after the date that is two Business Days immediately
preceding the related Master Servicer Remittance Date and prior to the
Distribution Date. In connection with the deposit of any Balloon Payments to the
Distribution Account in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the
Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent
shall, if it has already reported anticipated distributions to the Depository,
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Depository to make the revised
distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. Neither the Master
Servicer nor the Paying Agent shall be liable or held responsible for any
resulting delay or failure in the making of such distribution to
Certificateholders. For purposes of the definition of "Available Distribution
Amount" and "Principal Distribution Amount," (i) the Scheduled Payments relating
to the Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule XI that are collected after the end
of the related Collection Period and (ii) Principal Prepayments and Balloon
Payments relating to the Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule XI received after
the end of the related Collection Period but prior to the Master Servicer
Remittance Date shall each be deemed to have been collected in the prior
Collection Period.
-130-
(c) On each Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of every year
commencing in March 2008 and on the Master Servicer Remittance Date related to
the final Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw all amounts then
in the Interest Reserve Account and deposit such amounts into the Distribution
Account; provided that, if the Paying Agent is maintaining the Interest Reserve
Account, in March of every year commencing in March 2008 and on the Distribution
Date related to the final Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall withdraw all
amounts then in the Interest Reserve Account and deposit such amounts into the
Distribution Account.
SECTION 5.3 DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT AND RESERVE ACCOUNT.
(a) The Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee shall establish

any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be for the account
of the Paying Agent which shall deposit the amount of such loss (to the extent

Each distribution to Holders of Certificates shall be made by check

the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon

Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than Excess Interest) or

the REMIC I Regular Interests, plus interest on such Realized Losses at the
related REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate previously allocated thereto; and
(iv) thereafter, to the Class R-I Certificateholders at

Principal Distribution Amount will be distributed: first to the Class A-1, Class
A-1A, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective
Certificate Balances, in reduction of their respective Certificate Balances,
until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero; and second
to the Class A-1, Class A-1A, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates, pro rata,
based on the respective amounts of unreimbursed Realized Losses previously
allocated to such Class, plus one month's interest on such Realized Losses at
the applicable Pass-Through Rate. A similar rule shall apply to the distribution
of the Principal Distribution Amount to REMIC II Regular Interests X-0, X-0X,
X-0 and A-3.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall withdraw
amounts in the Reserve Account and shall pay the Certificateholders on such
Distribution Date such amounts in the following priority:
(i) First, to reimburse the Holders of the Principal
Balance Certificates (in order of alphabetical Class designation (provided that
the Class A-M Certificates will be senior in right to the Class A-J
Certificates)) for any, and to the extent of, Unpaid Interest then owing to such
Classes;
(ii) Second, to reimburse the Holders of the Principal
Balance Certificates (in order of alphabetical Class designation (provided that
the Class A-M Certificates will be senior in right to the Class A-J
Certificates)) for any, and to the extent of, Realized Losses previously
allocated to them;
(iii) Third, to the extent the amounts on deposit in the
Reserve Account exceed amounts reasonably required to offset future Unpaid
Interest or Realized Losses, to be paid to the Special Servicer as additional
Special Servicer Compensation; and
-143-
(iv) Fourth, upon the reduction of the Aggregate
Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates to zero, to pay any
amounts remaining on deposit in such account, to the Special Servicer as
additional Special Servicer Compensation.
This Section 6.5(b) shall apply mutatis mutandis to reimbursement of
Realized Losses previously allocated to the REMIC II Regular Interests.
(c) On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall withdraw
from the Class P Sub-account any Excess Interest, Exit Fees, Extension Fees,
and/or Extension Term Prepayment Premiums on deposit therein, and the Paying
Agent shall pay such Excess Interest, Exit Fees, Extension Fees, and/or
Extension Term Prepayment Premiums on such Distribution Date to the holders of
the Class P Certificates(even if the Certificate Balance of the Class P
Certificates has been reduced to zero for any reason).
SECTION 6.6 ALLOCATION OF REALIZED LOSSES, EXPENSE LOSSES AND
SHORTFALLS DUE TO NONRECOVERABILITY.
(a) REMIC I. On each Distribution Date, except as provided in
subsection (b) below,
(i) Realized Principal Losses on each Mortgage Loan
realized during the related Collection Period shall reduce the Certificate
Balance of the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest;
(ii) Realized Interest Losses on each Mortgage Loan shall
be allocated to reduce first, Distributable Certificate Interest for such
Distribution Date, and then Unpaid Interest in each case owing on the
Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest; and to the extent that such Realized
Interest Loss exceeds such amount, shall be treated as an Expense Loss; and
(iii) Expense Losses (not otherwise applied above) on each
Mortgage Loan realized during the related Collection Period shall be allocated
among the REMIC I Regular Interests in proportion to their Certificate Balances
and treated as Realized Principal Losses to the extent so allocated (and shall
proportionately reduce the Certificate Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest)
after making all other allocations for such Distribution Date.
(b) If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee
determines that an Advance previously made by it (whether such Advance (together
with Advance Interest thereon) was in respect of principal or interest on the
related Mortgage Loan or a Servicing Advance on the related Mortgage Loan) is a
Nonrecoverable Advance and the Master Servicer withdraws the amount of such
Advance from the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 5.2(a) hereof (which
amount shall be treated as an Available Advance Reimbursement Amount pursuant to
Section 4.6) or if the Master Servicer determines that any Unliquidated Advance
has become a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer (after consultation
with the Special Servicer) shall compute the Realized Loss with respect to such
Mortgage Loan (and the Paying Agent shall allocate the Realized Loss) as
follows:
(i) the amount withdrawn from the Certificate Account
shall be treated as Realized Principal Losses up to the amount of the aggregate
amount in the Collection
-144-
Account allocable to principal received with respect to the Mortgage Loans for
such Collection Period contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the definition of
Principal Distribution Amount, and shall be allocated to the Corresponding REMIC
I Regular Interest in accordance with Section 6.6(a)(i) (and to the extent that
any Realized Principal Loss exceeds the Certificate Balance of the Corresponding
REMIC I Regular Interest, such Realized Principal Loss shall be allocated to the
other Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interests in accordance with Section
6.6(a)(iii)), and such withdrawal shall reduce the principal paid on each such
REMIC I Regular Interest on which principal would otherwise be paid on such
Distribution Date, in proportion to such principal payments; and
(ii) if the amount that the Master Servicer withdraws from
the Certificate Account as referenced in clause (b)(i) above exceeds such amount
allocable to principal received with respect to the Mortgage Loans for such
Collection Period, then such additional amounts shall constitute Unpaid
Interest, and shall be allocated to the REMIC I Regular Interests on a pro rata
basis based upon the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(c) If (x) a Final Recovery Determination is made with respect to
any Mortgage Loan with respect to which the Master Servicer previously had
withdrawn amounts from the Certificate Account following a determination that
Advances previously made were Nonrecoverable Advances and Realized Losses were
computed and allocated pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, and (y) amounts
are recovered thereafter:
(i) the portion of the amount of collections recovered on
the Mortgage Loan that is identified and applied by the Master Servicer as
recoveries of principal shall be applied by the Paying Agent first, to make
payments of principal on the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest up to an
amount equal to the Realized Principal Losses previously allocated thereto as a
result of the reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances or Advance Interest (and
the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and the related Certificate Balance
of the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest shall be correspondingly
increased), and thereafter to make payments of principal to the Corresponding
REMIC I Regular Interests with respect to which principal distributions were
reduced pursuant to Section 6.6(b)(i) above, in proportion to the amount of such
reductions; and
(ii) the portion of the amount recovered on the Mortgage
Loan that is identified and applied by the Master Servicer as recoveries of
interest shall be applied by the Paying Agent to make payments of Unpaid
Interest on the REMIC I Regular Interests with respect to which Unpaid Interest
was allocated pursuant to Section 6.6(b)(ii).
(d) REMIC II. On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses on
the REMIC I Interests for such Distribution Date (or for prior Distribution
Dates, to the extent not previously allocated) shall be allocated to the
Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interests in the amounts and in the manner as are
allocated to the REMIC III Regular Interests related thereto pursuant to Section
6.6(f). Realized Losses allocated to the Class X Certificates shall reduce the
amount of interest payable on the REMIC II Regular Interests, which reduction
shall be allocated pro rata based on the product of the Certificate Balance of
such REMIC II Regular Interest and the Class X Strip Rate applicable to the
Class of REMIC III Regular Interest (other than the Class X Certificates)
relating to such REMIC II Regular Interest.
-145-
(e) Reserved.
(f) REMIC III. On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses on
the REMIC II Regular Interests for such Distribution Date (or for prior
Distribution Dates, to the extent not previously allocated) shall be allocated
to the REMIC III Regular Interests in Reverse Sequential Order, in each case
reducing (A) first, the Certificate Balance of such Class until such Certificate
Balance is reduced to zero (in the case of the REMIC III Regular Interests other
than the Class X Certificates); (B) second, Unpaid Interest owing to such Class
to the extent thereof and (C) third, Distributable Certificate Interest owing to
such Class, provided, that such reductions shall be allocated among the Class
A-1 Certificates, Class A-1A Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3
Certificates and Class X Certificates, pro rata, based upon their outstanding
Certificate Balances or accrued interest, as the case may be, and provided
further, that Realized Losses shall not reduce the Aggregate Certificate Balance
of the REMIC III Regular Interests below the sum of the Aggregate Certificate
Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interests.
SECTION 6.7 PREPAYMENT INTEREST SHORTFALLS AND NET AGGREGATE
PREPAYMENT INTEREST SHORTFALLS.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the amount of any Net Aggregate
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in REMIC I shall be allocated among the REMIC I
Regular Interests, pro rata in proportion to the Accrued Certificate Interest
for each such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and shall
reduce Distributable Certificate Interest for each such Interest. On each
Distribution Date, the amount of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls in REMIC II shall be allocated among the REMIC II Regular Interests,
pro rata in proportion to the Accrued Certificate Interest for each such REMIC
II Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and shall reduce Distributable
Certificate Interest for each such Interest. On each Distribution Date, the
amount of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in REMIC III shall be
allocated to each Class of REMIC III Regular Interests, pro rata, in proportion
to the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest payable to such Class on such
Distribution Date and shall reduce the Distributable Certificate Interest for
such Class for such Distribution Date. No Prepayment Interest Shortfall with
respect to a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or a B Note shall be allocated to
any Class of Certificates.
SECTION 6.8 ADJUSTMENT OF SERVICING FEES. The Master Servicing Fee
payable to the Master Servicer shall be adjusted as provided in Section
5.2(a)(iv) herein. Any amount retained by REMIC I as a result of a reduction of
the Master Servicing Fee shall be treated as interest collected with respect to
the prepaid Mortgage Loans with respect to which the Master Servicing Fee
adjustment occurs.
SECTION 6.9 APPRAISAL REDUCTIONS. Not later than the date on which
an Appraisal Event occurs, the Special Servicer shall have obtained (A) an
Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property securing the related Mortgage Loan, Loan
Pair or A/B Mortgage Loan, if the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Loan
Pair or A/B Mortgage Loan exceeds $2,000,000 or (B) at the option of the Special
Servicer, if such Principal Balance is less than or equal to $2,000,000, either
an internal valuation prepared by the Special Servicer in accordance with MAI
standards or an Appraisal which in all cases shall be completed as of the date
that such Mortgage Loan, Loan Pair or A/B Mortgage Loan becomes a Required
Appraisal Loan; provided
-146-
that if the Special Servicer had completed or obtained an Appraisal or internal
valuation within the immediately prior 12 months, the Special Servicer may rely
on such Appraisal or internal valuation and shall have no duty to prepare a new
Appraisal or internal valuation, unless such reliance would not be in accordance
with the Servicing Standard; provided, further, that if the Special Servicer is
required to obtain an Appraisal of a Mortgaged Property after receipt of the
notice described in clause (ii) of the definition of Appraisal Event, such
Appraisal will be obtained no later than 60 days after receipt of such notice
and an internal valuation will be obtained no later than 60 days after receipt
of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Appraisal shall not be
required so long as a guaranty or surety bond that is rated at least "BBB-" (or
its equivalent) by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or
debt service reserve or a letter of credit is available and has the ability to
pay off the then outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan in full,
except to the extent that the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, determines that obtaining an Appraisal is in the best interests of the
Certificateholders. Such Appraisal or valuation shall be conducted in accordance
with the definition of "market value" as set forth in 12 C.F.R. ss. 225.62 and
shall be updated at least annually to the extent such Mortgage Loan remains a
Required Appraisal Loan. The cost of any such Appraisal or valuation, if not
performed by the Special Servicer, shall be an expense of the Trust (and any
related B Note) and may be paid from REO Income or, to the extent collections
from such related Mortgage Loan, B Note, Loan Pair or Mortgaged Property does
not cover the expense, such unpaid expense shall be, subject to Section 4.4
hereof, advanced by the Master Servicer as soon as practicable, but not later
than five (5) Business Days, following the request of the Special Servicer or by
the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 4.2 in which event it shall be treated
as a Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer, based on the Appraisal or internal
valuation provided to it by the Special Servicer, shall calculate any Appraisal
Reduction. The Master Servicer shall calculate or recalculate the Appraisal
Reduction for any Mortgage Loan, B Note and Loan Pair based on updated
Appraisals or internal valuations provided from time to time to it by the
Special Servicer and report such amount to the Trustee annually. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the terms of this Section 6.9 shall not be applicable to any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special
Servicer shall have performed such obligations with respect to such Mortgage
Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 6.10 COMPLIANCE WITH WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding
requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders of interest,
original issue discount, or other amounts that the Paying Agent reasonably
believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall
not be required for any such withholding and any amount so withheld shall be
regarded as distributed to the related Certificateholders for purposes of this
Agreement. In the event the Paying Agent withholds any amount from payments made
to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the
Paying Agent shall indicate to such Certificateholder the amount withheld. The
Trustee shall not be responsible for the Paying Agent's failure to comply with
any withholding requirements.
SECTION 6.11 PREPAYMENT PREMIUMS. Any Prepayment Premium collected
with respect to a Mortgage Loan (but not (A) a B Note or Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan, which Prepayment Premium is payable to the Holder of the related
B Note or the Holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, as
applicable or (B) any Extension Term
-147-
Prepayment Premiums, which shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class P
Certificates) during any particular Collection Period will be deemed distributed
to the Trustee by the Paying Agent on the following Distribution Date as
follows: (i) first, the Paying Agent shall be deemed to distribute to the
Trustee, as Holder of the REMIC I Regular Interest to which such Mortgage Loan
relates, any Prepayment Premiums collected on or with respect to such Mortgage
Loan; and (ii) second, the Paying Agent shall be deemed to distribute to the
Trustee, as Holder of the REMIC II Regular Interests, any Prepayment Premiums
deemed distributed to the REMIC I Regular Interests, and shall be deemed to
distribute such Prepayment Premiums to the REMIC II Regular Interest then
entitled to distributions of principal from the Principal Distribution Amount
(or, if more than one Class of REMIC II Regular Interests is then entitled to
distributions of principal from the Principal Distribution Amount, such
Prepayment Premiums shall be deemed distributed among such Classes pro rata in
accordance with the relevant amounts of entitlements to distributions of
principal). Following such deemed distributions, (A) any Prepayment Premiums
collected in respect of each Mortgage Loan included in Loan Group 1 during the
related Collection Period shall be distributed by the Paying Agent on the
Classes of Certificates as follows: to the Holders of the respective Classes of
Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-1A, Class J, Class K,
Class L, Class M, Class N, Class O and Class P Certificates), then entitled to
distributions of principal from the Principal Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date, will be entitled to, and the Paying Agent on behalf of the
Trustee will pay to such Holder(s), an amount equal to, in the case of each such
Class, the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount
distributed as principal to the Holders of that Class on that Distribution Date,
and the denominator of which is the total amount distributed as principal to the
Holders of all Classes of Certificates (other than the Class A-1A Certificates)
on that Distribution Date, (b) the Base Interest Fraction for the related
Principal Prepayment and that Class of Certificates and (c) the aggregate amount
of all such Prepayment Premiums collected from the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group
1 during the related Collection Period and (B) any Prepayment Premiums collected
in respect of each Mortgage Loan included in Loan Group 2 during the related
Collection Period shall be distributed by the Paying Agent on the Classes of
Certificates as follows: to the Holders of the Class A-1A Certificates, then
entitled to distributions of principal from the Principal Distribution Amount
for such Distribution Date, will be entitled to, and the Paying Agent on behalf
of the Trustee will pay to such Holder(s), an amount equal to the product of (a)
the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and that Class
of Certificates and (b) the aggregate amount of Prepayment Premiums collected
from the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 during the related Collection Period.
Any portion of any such Prepayment Premium (from either Loan Group 1 or Loan
Group 2) that is not so distributed to the Holders of such Principal Balance
Certificates pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) of the preceding sentence will be
distributed to the Holders of the Class X Certificates. Any Extension Term
Prepayment Premiums will be distributed to the holders of the Class P
Certificates.

SECTION 7.4 THE TRUSTEE AND THE PAYING AGENT MAY OWN CERTIFICATES.
Each of the Trustee and the Paying Agent in its individual or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would
have if it were not the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.
SECTION 7.5 ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRUSTEE AND THE
PAYING AGENT. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be (i) an institution
insured by the FDIC, (ii) a corporation, national bank or national banking
association, organized and doing business under

the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority, and (iii) an institution whose short-term debt obligations are at all
times rated not less than "A-1" by S&P and whose long-term senior unsecured debt
is at all times rated not less than "AA-" by Fitch (or "A+" by Fitch if the
Trustee's short-term unsecured debt is rated at least "F-1" by Fitch) and "AA-"
by S&P (or "A+" by S&P if the Trustee's short-term unsecured debt is rated at
least "A-1" by S&P), or otherwise acceptable to the Rating Agencies as evidenced

has a long term unsecured debt rating of at least "AA-" by Fitch (or "A+" by
Fitch if the Fiscal Agent's short-term unsecured debt is rated at least "F-1" by
Fitch) and "AA-" by S&P (or "A+" by S&P if the Fiscal Agent's short-term
unsecured debt is rated at least "A-1" by S&P), then the Trustee must be rated
not less than "A-" by Fitch and "A-" by S&P, or otherwise acceptable to the
Rating Agencies as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation. If such
corporation, national bank or national banking association publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation, national bank or
national banking association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in Section 7.6.
(b) The Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or
otherwise authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers and shall be
rated at least "A" by Fitch and "A" by S&P, unless and to the extent Rating
Agency Confirmation is obtained.
SECTION 7.6 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE TRUSTEE OR THE PAYING
AGENT.
(a) The Trustee or the Paying Agent may at any time resign and be
discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies; provided that such
resignation shall not be effective until its successor shall have accepted the
appointment. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor will
promptly appoint a successor trustee or paying agent, as the case may be, except
in the case of the initial Trustee, in which case both shall be so replaced but
may be replaced under this paragraph sequentially, by written instrument, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee, one copy
to the successor trustee and one copy to each of the Master Servicer, the Paying
Agent and the Rating Agencies. If no successor trustee or paying agent shall
have been so appointed, as the case may be, and shall have accepted appointment
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or paying
agent, as the case may be. It shall be a condition to the appointment of a
successor trustee that such entity satisfies the eligibility requirements set
forth in Section 7.5 and, for so long as the Trust, and, with respect to any
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the trust in the related Other Securitization,
are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, shall have been
consented to by the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as
the case may be (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
-154-
(b) If at any time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii) a tax is
imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust or any REMIC Pool by any state
in which the Trustee or the Trust held by the Trustee is located solely because
of the location of the Trustee in such state; provided, however, that, if the
Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust for such taxes, it shall not be removed
pursuant to this clause (iii) or (iv) the continuation of the Trustee as such
would result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the rating by the
Rating Agencies of any Class of Certificates with a rating as evidenced in
writing by the Rating Agencies, then the Depositor may remove such Trustee and
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed, one copy to the successor trustee
and one copy to each of the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies. In the case
of removal under clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, the Trustee shall bear
all such costs of transfer. Such succession shall take effect after a successor
trustee has been appointed.
(c) Following the Closing Date, for so long as the Trust, and,
with respect to any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the trust in the related
Other Securitization, are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act, the Paying Agent may not appoint any sub-servicer that is or could become a
Reporting Servicer without the prior written consent of the Depositor or the
depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) If at any time (i) the Paying Agent shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5(b) and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Paying Agent shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Paying Agent or of its property shall be appointed, or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Paying Agent or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, (iii) a tax is imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust or
any REMIC Pool by any state in which the Paying Agent is located solely because
of the location of the Paying Agent in such state; provided, however, that, if
the Paying Agent agrees to indemnify the Trust for such taxes, it shall not be
removed pursuant to this clause (iii), or (iv) the continuation of the Paying
Agent as such would result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal, as
applicable, of the rating by any Rating Agency of any Class of Certificates with
a rating as evidenced in writing by the Rating Agencies, then the Depositor or
the Trustee shall send a written notice of termination to the Paying Agent
(which notice shall specify the reason for such termination) and remove such
Paying Agent and the Depositor shall appoint a successor Paying Agent by written
instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Paying Agent
so removed, one copy to the successor Paying Agent, and one copy to each of the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies. In all such cases, the
Paying Agent shall bear all costs of transfer to a successor Paying Agent, such
succession only to take effect after a successor Paying Agent has been
appointed.
(e) The Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Certificate
Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates then outstanding may for cause
upon 30 days' written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may
be, and to the Depositor remove the Trustee or the
-155-
Paying Agent, as the case may be, by such written instrument, signed by such
Holders or their attorney-in-fact duly authorized, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the Depositor and one copy to the Trustee or the Paying
Agent, as the case may be, so removed; the Depositor shall thereupon use its
best efforts to appoint a successor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be,
in accordance with this Section.
(f) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Paying Agent,
as the case may be, and appointment of a successor trustee or paying agent
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or paying agent, as the case
may be, as provided in Section 7.7. Upon any succession of the Trustee or the
Paying Agent under this Agreement, the predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent, as
the case may be, shall be entitled to the payment of compensation and
reimbursement agreed to under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses
incurred. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action or
omission of any successor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be.
SECTION 7.7 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE OR PAYING AGENT.
(a) Any successor Trustee or Paying Agent appointed as provided in
Section 7.6 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its
predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall become effective
and such successor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights,
powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as
if originally named as Trustee or Paying Agent herein. The predecessor Trustee
or Paying Agent shall deliver (at such predecessor's own expense) to the
successor Trustee or Paying Agent all Mortgage Files and documents and
statements related to the Mortgage Files held by it hereunder, and the
predecessor Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over (at such
predecessor's own expense) to the successor Trustee, the entire Trust, together
with all instruments of transfer and assignment or other documents properly
executed necessary to effect such transfer. The predecessor Trustee or Paying
Agent, as the case may be, shall also deliver all records or copies thereof
maintained by the predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent in the administration
hereof as may be reasonably requested by the successor Trustee, or Paying Agent,
as applicable, and shall thereupon be discharged from all duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement. In addition, the Depositor and the
predecessor Trustee or Paying Agent shall execute and deliver such other
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully
and certainly vest and confirm in the successor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the
case may be, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the combined fees payable to a
successor Trustee exceed the Trustee Fee.
(b) No successor Trustee or Paying Agent shall accept appointment
as provided in this Section unless at the time of such appointment such
successor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 7.5.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or
Paying Agent as provided in this Section, the successor Trustee or Paying Agent
shall mail notice of the
-156-
succession of such Trustee or Paying Agent hereunder to all Holders of
Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to the
Rating Agencies. The expenses of such mailing shall be borne by the successor
Trustee or Paying Agent. If the successor Trustee or Paying Agent fails to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
Trustee or Paying Agent, the Master Servicer shall cause such notice to be
mailed at the expense of the successor Trustee or Paying Agent, as applicable.
SECTION 7.8 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF TRUSTEE OR PAYING AGENT.
Any Person into which the Trustee or Paying Agent may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which such Trustee or Paying Agent shall be a
party, or any Persons succeeding to the business of such Trustee or Paying
Agent, shall be the successor of such Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may
be, hereunder, as applicable, provided that (i) such Person shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 7.5, and (ii) for so long as the Trust, and,
with respect to any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the trust in the related
Other Securitization, are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act, shall have been consented to by the Depositor or the depositor in such
Other Securitization, as the case may be, (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), 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 7.9 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE, SEPARATE TRUSTEE, AGENTS OR
CUSTODIAN.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, the
Trustee, the Depositor or, in the case of the Trust, the Certificateholders
evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the
Certificates then outstanding shall each have the power from time to time to
appoint one or more Persons to act either as co-trustees jointly with the
Trustee or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding
title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage
Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal place of business
where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the
Trustee is advised by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that such separate
trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state in
which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of
otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any
state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in
which any portion of the Trust is located. The separate trustees, co-trustees,
or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of
all the Certificateholders, shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall
be specified in the instrument of appointment and shall be deemed to have
accepted the provisions of this Agreement; provided that no such appointment
shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee;
provided, further that the Trustee shall be liable for the actions of any
co-trustee or separate trustee appointed by it and shall have no liability for
the actions of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed by the Depositor or
the Certificateholders pursuant to this paragraph.
(b) The Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, may from
time to time appoint one or more independent third-party agents to perform all
or any portion of its administrative duties hereunder (i.e., collection and
distribution of funds, preparation and dissemination of reports, monitoring
compliance, etc.). The Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the
-157-
case may be, shall supervise and oversee such agents appointed by it. The terms
of any arrangement or agreement between the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the
case may be, and such agent, may be terminated, without cause and without the
payment of any termination fees in the event the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as
the case may be, is terminated in accordance with this Agreement. In addition,
neither the Trust nor the Certificateholders shall have any liability or direct
obligation to such agent. Notwithstanding the terms of any such agreement, the
Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall remain at all times
obligated and liable to the Trust and the Certificateholders for performing its
duties hereunder.
(c) Every separate trustee, co-trustee, and custodian shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following
provisions and conditions:
(i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred
upon the Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall
be exercised solely by the Trustee;
(ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee, co-trustee, or
custodian jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction
in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee
hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder) the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations, including the holding of title to the
Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction, shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian;
(iii) no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or custodian
hereunder; and
(iv) the Trustee or, in the case of the Trust, the
Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount of
the Certificates then outstanding may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it or
them, if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this
Agreement.
(d) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this
Agreement and the conditions of this Article VII. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with
the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to
all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Trustee.
(e) Any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian may, at any
time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate
trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall die, become incapable of acting, resign
or be
-158-
removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest
in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
(f) No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall
be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 7.5 hereof and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required.
(g) The Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the
extent necessary to fulfill the Trustee's obligations hereunder.
(h) The Trustee shall pay the reasonable compensation of the
co-trustees, separate trustees or custodians appointed by the Trustee pursuant
to this Section 7.9 to the extent, and in accordance with the standards,
specified in Section 7.12 hereof.
(i) Subject to the consent of the Depositor, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, the Trustee, at its sole cost and expense, may
appoint at any time a successor Custodian. Until such time as the Trustee
appoints a successor Custodian, the Trustee shall be the Custodian hereunder.
Upon the appointment of a successor custodian, the Trustee and the Custodian
shall enter into a custodial agreement.
SECTION 7.10 AUTHENTICATING AGENTS.
(a) The Paying Agent shall serve as the initial Authenticating
Agent hereunder for the purpose of executing and authenticating Certificates.
Any successor Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Depositor and must
be a corporation or national bank organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States of America or of any state and having a principal office and
place of business in the Borough of Manhattan in the City and State of New York,
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, authorized under
such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities.
(b) Any Person into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent shall
be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of the
Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.
(c) The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at
least 30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the
Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of the
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to the
Authenticating Agent and the Depositor; provided that the Trustee may not
terminate the Paying Agent as Authenticating Agent unless the Paying Agent shall
be removed as Paying Agent hereunder. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or
upon such a termination, or in case at any time the Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10(a), the
Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall
-159-
give written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and shall mail notice
of such appointment to all Holders of Certificates. Any successor Authenticating
Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder,
with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. No such
Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of
Section 7.10(a). No Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability
for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.
SECTION 7.11 INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEE AND THE PAYING AGENT.
(a) The Trustee (whether individually, or in its capacity as
Trustee), the Certificate Registrar and the Paying Agent and each of their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Controlling Persons shall
be entitled to indemnification from the Trust for any and all claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any
other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any
legal action incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their
respective part, arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement, the
Certificates and the acceptance or administration of the trusts or duties
created hereunder (including, without limitation, any unanticipated loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with any action or inaction of the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor or of each other such
Person hereunder but only to the extent the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar
or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is unable to recover within a
reasonable period of time such amount from such third party pursuant to this
Agreement) including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any
claim in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or
duties hereunder and the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Paying Agent
and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
Controlling Persons shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust for any
unanticipated loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the
provision by the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Paying Agent of the
reports required to be provided by it pursuant to this Agreement; provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall have given
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Sellers, each other and the Holders of
the Certificates written notice thereof promptly after a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
shall have actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that failure to give
such notice to the Depositor, Master Servicer, the Sellers, each other and the
Holders of Certificates shall not affect the Trustee's, Certificate Registrar's
or Paying Agent's, as the case may be, rights to indemnification herein unless
the Depositor's defense of such claim on behalf of the Trust is materially
prejudiced thereby;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
shall cooperate and consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense;
and
(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 7.11, the Trust shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by
the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld.
-160-
(b) The provisions of this Section 7.11 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.
(c) The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents and Controlling Persons from
and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, and any
action in respect thereof, to which the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or
the Paying Agent, as the case may be, their respective directors, officers,
employees or agents or Controlling Person may become subject under the
Securities Act, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises
out of, or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Private Placement Memorandum, the Preliminary
Prospectus Supplement, the Final Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus, or
arises out of, or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading and shall reimburse the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the
Paying Agent, as the case may be, their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents or Controlling Person for any legal and other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying
Agent, as the case may be, or any such director, officer, employee, agent or
Controlling Person in investigating or defending or preparing to defend against
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, that the Depositor
shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any such Private
Placement Memorandum, Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, Final Prospectus
Supplement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information concerning the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying
Agent, as the case may be, furnished to the Depositor by or on behalf of such
person specifically for inclusion therein. It is hereby expressly agreed that
the only written information provided by the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar
or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, for inclusion in the Preliminary
Prospectus Supplement and Final Prospectus Supplement is set forth in the case
of the Trustee in the Trustee Disclosure Sections and in the case of the Paying
Agent in the Paying Agent Disclosure Sections. The Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the
Depositor and the Sellers if a claim is made by a third party with respect to
this Section 7.11(c) entitling such person, its directors, officers, employees,
agents or Controlling Person to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the
Depositor shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such person) and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or
decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any
failure to so notify the Depositor shall not affect any rights the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents or Controlling Person may have to
indemnification under this Section 7.11(c), unless the Depositor's defense of
such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal
of the Trustee or the Paying Agent. The Depositor shall not be indemnified by
the Trust for any expenses incurred by the Depositor arising from any violation
or alleged violation of the Securities Act or Exchange Act by the Depositor.
-161-
SECTION 7.12 FEES AND EXPENSES OF TRUSTEE AND THE PAYING AGENT. The
Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Trustee Fee (other than the portion
thereof constituting the Paying Agent Fee) and the Paying Agent shall be
entitled to receive the Paying Agent Fee, pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(ii) (which
shall not be limited by any provision of law with respect to the compensation of
a trustee of an express trust), for all services rendered by it in the execution
of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties respectively, hereunder of the Trustee and the Paying Agent.
The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the
Trust all reasonable unanticipated expenses and disbursements incurred or made
by the Trustee and the Paying Agent in accordance with any of the provisions of
this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and other Persons not regularly in its
employ), not including expenses incurred in the ordinary course of performing
its duties as Trustee or Paying Agent, respectively hereunder, and except any
such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the negligence or bad
faith of such Person or which is the responsibility of the Holders of the
Certificates hereunder. The provisions of this Section 7.12 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or
the Paying Agent.
SECTION 7.13 COLLECTION OF MONEYS. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, the Trustee and the Paying Agent may demand payment
or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, all money and other property
payable to or receivable by the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
shall hold all such money and property received by it as part of the Trust and
shall distribute it as provided in this Agreement. If the Trustee or the Paying
Agent, as the case may be, shall not have timely received amounts to be remitted
with respect to the Mortgage Loans from the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall request the Master Servicer to make such
distribution as promptly as practicable or legally permitted. If the Trustee or
the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall subsequently receive any such
amount, it may withdraw such request.
SECTION 7.14 TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.
(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer is terminated
pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects
to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the transactions
set forth or provided for therein and shall have all the rights and powers and
be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions
of this Agreement; provided that, any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure to provide required
information shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In
addition, the Trustee shall have no liability relating to (i) the
representations and warranties of the Master Servicer contained in this
Agreement or (ii) any obligation incurred by the Master Servicer prior to its
termination or resignation (including, without limitation, the Master Servicer's
obligation to repay losses resulting from the investment of funds in any account
established under this Agreement), except any ongoing obligations to the
applicable Primary Servicer arising after the termination of the Master Servicer
from their servicing rights and obligations under the applicable Primary
Servicing Agreement. In the Trustee's capacity as such successor, the Trustee
shall have the same limitations on liability granted to the Master Servicer in
this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be
-162-
entitled to receive all the compensation payable to the Master Servicer set
forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Master Servicing
Fee.
(b) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee (A) may, if the Trustee
is unwilling to so act, or (B) shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established commercial
or multifamily mortgage finance institution, servicer or special servicer or
mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000,
meeting such other standards for a successor servicer as are set forth in this
Agreement and with respect to which Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, as
the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a servicer as Master Servicer
hereunder. Pending any such appointment, the Trustee shall act as the Master
Servicer as hereinabove provided. Any entity designated by the Trustee as
successor Master Servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided that,
such Affiliate must meet the standards for the Master Servicer as set forth
herein. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make
such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree subject to Section 8.10,
provided that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to be
paid to the Master Servicer under this Agreement. The Trustee and such successor
shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the
Trustee and any successor servicer in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the servicing function and
providing the Trustee and successor servicer all documents and records in its
possession in electronic or other form reasonably requested by the successor
servicer to enable the successor servicer to assume the Master Servicer's
functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor servicer
of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the
Master Servicer in the Certificate Account and any other account or fund
maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received by the
Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any
other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of
any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any
portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or
any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions
imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master
Servicer. The Trustee shall be reimbursed for all of its out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with obtaining such successor Master Servicer by the
Trust within 30 days of the Trustee's submission of an invoice with respect
thereto, to the extent such expenses have not been reimbursed by the Master
Servicer as provided herein; such expenses paid by the Trust shall be deemed to
be an Additional Trust Expense.
(c) On and after the time the Special Servicer is terminated
pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with Section 9.30, the Trustee shall
be the successor in all respects to the Special Servicer in its capacity under
this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein and shall
have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the
Special Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided that,
any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Special
Servicer's failure to provide required information shall not be considered a
default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall have no
liability relating to (i) the representations and warranties of the Special
Servicer
-163-
contained in this Agreement or (ii) any obligation incurred by the Special
Servicer prior to its termination or resignation. In the Trustee's capacity as
such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability granted
to the Special Servicer in this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive all the compensation payable to the Special
Servicer set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation the Special
Servicer Compensation (other than any Work-Out Fee payable pursuant to Section
9.11).
(d) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if the Trustee
shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established
commercial or multifamily mortgage finance institution, special servicer or
mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000,
and meeting such other standards for a successor Special Servicer as are set
forth in Section 9.21, and with respect to which Rating Agency Confirmation is
obtained, as the successor to the Special Servicer hereunder in the assumption
of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a special servicer as
Special Servicer hereunder. Pending any such appointment, the Trustee shall act
as the Special Servicer as hereinabove provided. Any entity designated by the
Trustee as successor Special Servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee;
provided that, such Affiliate must meet the standards for a successor Special
Servicer set forth herein. In connection with such appointment and assumption,
the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor
out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided
that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Special
Servicer under this Agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such
actions, consistent with this Agreement as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession. The Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any
successor Special Servicer in effecting the termination of the Special
Servicer's responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, notifying Mortgagors of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans of the
assignment of the special servicing function and providing the Trustee and
successor Special Servicer all documents and records in its possession in
electronic or other form reasonably requested by the successor Special Servicer
to enable the successor Special Servicer to assume the Special Servicer's
functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor Special
Servicer of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited
by the Special Servicer in the Certificate Account and any other account or fund
maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received by the
Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any
other successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by
reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution
hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Special
Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to
it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction
over the Special Servicer. The Trustee shall be reimbursed for all of its
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such successor
Special Servicer by the Trust within 30 days of submission of an invoice with
respect thereto but only to the extent such expenses have not been reimbursed by
the Special Servicer as provided herein; and such expenses paid by the Trust
shall be deemed to be an Additional Trust Expense.
SECTION 7.15 NOTIFICATION TO HOLDERS. Upon termination of, or an
Event of Default by, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Special
Servicer, or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent
or the Special Servicer, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof by first
class mail to the Rating Agencies, the Operating Adviser,
-164-
the Sellers and the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing

such Certificates are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of
such exchange so require and the Depositor shall pay the reasonable fees of such
Luxembourg Paying Agent and Luxembourg Transfer Agent. The Depositor shall
appoint a successor Luxembourg Paying Agent if necessary. Except as set forth in
this Section 7.18(a), neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any
responsibility for the actions or inactions of the Luxembourg Paying Agent,
including any failure of the Luxembourg Paying Agent to make timely
distributions to Certificateholders or beneficial owners (other than any such
failure resulting from the failure of the Paying Agent to timely remit funds but
only to the extent such failure is caused by the Paying Agent's negligence or
willful misconduct). The Certificate Registrar shall not be responsible for
transfers or exchanges requested at the office of the Luxembourg Transfer Agent
in Luxembourg until it receives written notice from such transfer agent,
together with the Certificates to be transferred or exchanged. The Luxembourg
Paying Agent shall each month download copies of all information made available

available to the Certificateholders upon request. The Luxembourg Paying Agent
shall not be the Paying Agent and the duties of the Luxembourg Paying Agent
hereunder shall be distinct from the duties of the Paying Agent.
(b) For so long as the Certificates are listed on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, the
Depositor undertakes to cause the Luxembourg Paying Agent to publish all notices

(iv) to the Luxembourg Paying Agent promptly following
receipt thereof, all notices and reports regarding any termination of the
Trustee or the Paying Agent or appointment of a successor to the Trustee or the
Paying Agent; and

receipt thereof, all notices and reports regarding any occurrence of an Event of
Default.
Information provided, as set forth above, by the Paying Agent to the
Luxembourg Paying Agent shall be supplied by the Luxembourg Paying Agent to the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Such information shall be made available to the
Certificateholders at the main office of the Luxembourg Paying Agent.
None of the Certificates will be listed on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange or any other stock exchange.
SECTION 7.19 APPOINTMENT OF A FISCAL AGENT.
(a) In order to satisfy the eligibility requirements of
Section 7.5 (insofar as such requirements relate to ratings), the Trustee may
appoint a Fiscal Agent. Any Fiscal Agent shall at all times maintain a long-term
unsecured debt rating of no less than "AA-" from Fitch and S&P (or "A+" from
Fitch and S&P, if such Fiscal Agent's short-term unsecured debt rating is at
least "F-1" by Fitch and at least "A-1" by S&P) (or, in the case of either
Rating Agency, such other rating as shall not result in a downgrade,
qualification or withdrawal of the rating by the Rating Agencies of any Class of
Certificates with a rating as evidenced in writing by the Rating Agencies).
(b) To the extent that the Trustee is required, pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, to make any Advance, whether as successor master
servicer or otherwise, and has failed to do so in accordance with the terms
hereof, any Fiscal Agent appointed by the Trustee shall make such Advance as and
when required by the terms of this Agreement on behalf the Trustee as if such
Fiscal Agent were the Trustee hereunder. To the extent that a Fiscal Agent makes
an Advance pursuant to this Section 7.19(b) or otherwise pursuant to this
Agreement, the obligations of the Trustee under this Agreement in respect of
such Advance shall be satisfied.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, any Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to all limitations on liability,
rights of reimbursement and indemnities that the Trustee is entitled to
hereunder as if it were the Trustee, except that all fees and expenses of any
Fiscal Agent (other than any interest owed to such Fiscal Agent in respect of
unreimbursed Advances) incurred by such Fiscal Agent in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the Trustee, and
neither the Trustee nor such Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor from any of the Trust, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer.
-168-
(d) The obligations of a Fiscal Agent set forth in this
Section 7.19 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement shall exist only for so
long as the Trustee that appointed it shall act as Trustee hereunder. A Fiscal
Agent may resign or be removed by the Trustee only if and when the existence of
such Fiscal Agent is no longer necessary for such Trustee to satisfy the
eligibility requirements of Section 7.5; provided that a Fiscal Agent shall be
deemed to have resigned at such time as the Trustee that appointed it resigns or
is removed as Trustee hereunder (in which case the responsibility for appointing
a successor Fiscal Agent shall belong to the successor Trustee, and which
appointment the successor Trustee shall use its best efforts to make, insofar as
such appointment is necessary for such successor Trustee to satisfy the
eligibility requirements of Section 7.5). Any successor fiscal agent so
appointed shall be required to execute and deliver to the other parties hereto a
written agreement to assume and perform the duties of a Fiscal Agent set forth
in this Agreement; provided that no such successor shall become Fiscal Agent
hereunder unless either (i) it satisfies the rating requirements of Section
7.19(a) or (ii) the Trustee shall have received written confirmation from the
Rating Agencies that the succession of such proposed successor fiscal agent
would not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal
of the rating by the Rating Agencies of any Class of Certificates.
(e) The Trustee shall promptly notify the other parties hereto,
the Certificateholders and the holders of any Servicer Companion Mortgage Loan
in writing of the appointment, resignation or removal of any Fiscal Agent.
ARTICLE VIII

SECTION 8.1 SERVICING STANDARD; SERVICING DUTIES.
(a) Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement, for and
on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders as a whole,
and, solely as it relates to any A/B Mortgage Loan, for the benefit of the
holder of the related B Note and, solely as it relates to any Loan Pair, for the
benefit of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans, any B Note and
any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard
and the terms of this Agreement (subject to the servicing of any Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and
the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer in accordance with
the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement). Certain
of the provisions of this Article VIII make explicit reference to their
applicability to Mortgage Loans, any B Note and any Serviced Companion Mortgage
Loan; notwithstanding such explicit references, references to "Mortgage Loans"
contained in this Article VIII, unless otherwise specified, shall be construed
to refer also to such B Note and Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan (but any other
terms that are defined in Article I and used in this Article VIII shall be
construed according to such definitions without regard to this sentence).
In connection with such servicing and administration, the Master
Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely recovery of principal and interest on
the Mortgage Notes in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders as a
whole (or, in the case of any A/B Mortgage Loan or Loan Pair the
Certificateholders and the holder of the related B Note and Serviced
-169-
Companion Mortgage Loan, all taken as a collective whole); provided, however,
that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied
guarantee by the Master Servicer of the collectability of payments on the
Mortgage Loans or shall be construed as impairing or adversely affecting any
rights or benefits specifically provided by this Agreement to the Master
Servicer, including with respect to Master Servicing Fees or the right to be
reimbursed for Advances.
(b) The Master Servicer, in the case of an event specified in
clause (x) of this subclause (b), and the Special Servicer, in the case of an
event specified in clause (y) of this subclause (b), shall each send a written
notice to the other and to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, the Operating
Adviser, the Depositor, each Seller and, in the case of an A/B Mortgage Loan,
the holder of the related B Note and, in the case of a Loan Pair, the holder of
the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, within two Business Days after
becoming aware (x) that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with respect to
a Mortgage Loan or (y) that a Mortgage Loan has become a Rehabilitated Mortgage
Loan, which notice shall identify the applicable Mortgage Loan and, in the case
of an event specified in clause (x) of this subclause (b) above, the Servicing
Transfer Event that occurred.
(c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is subject to an
Environmental Insurance Policy, for as long as it is not a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving
rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Master Servicer or
the applicable Primary Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer to such effect
and the Master Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with
the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental
Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all
amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder. Any legal fees or other
out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in
connection with any such claim shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
(d) In connection with any extension of the Maturity Date of a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall give prompt written notice of such
extension to the insurer under the Environmental Insurance Policy and shall
execute such documents as are reasonably required by such insurer to procure an
extension of such policy (if available).
(e) The parties hereto acknowledge that each Serviced Pari Passu
Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and
conditions of the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement and that the A/B
Mortgage Loans are subject to the terms and conditions of the related
Intercreditor Agreement, and each such party agrees that the provisions of each
Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement and Intercreditor Agreement that are required
by their terms to be set forth in this Agreement are hereby incorporated herein.
With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Trust and the holders of
each Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan under the related Loan Pair Intercreditor
Agreement (or with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan treated as a Loan Pair in
accordance with Section 8.31 hereof, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents),
including, with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of any
Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall comply with the applicable provisions
-170-
of each Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement, and if any Serviced Pari Passu
Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan are then Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer shall comply with the applicable provisions
of the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement. The parties hereto agree that
any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Loan Pair
Intercreditor Agreement or Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall be
resolved in favor of the Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement or Intercreditor
Agreement.
(f) Promptly following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall send
written notice to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer, stating that,
as of the Closing Date, the Trustee is the holder of the applicable Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan, and directing such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer to
remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and directing such
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer to forward, deliver or otherwise make
available, as the case may be, to, the Master Servicer all reports, statements,
documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded,
delivered or otherwise made available to, such holder of the applicable
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement.
(g) Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be serviced and
administered by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer pursuant to the related Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Intercreditor Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement. If any Non-Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan that is an asset under
the trust created by the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and
Servicing Agreement is removed from the pool of mortgage loans created under
such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or if such
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement is otherwise
terminated, the servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be
transferred, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor
Agreement, and shall be serviced and administered by a successor servicing
agreement, which shall have similar provisions to such Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent set forth in the related
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement, and such transfer shall be
subject to the receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation.
SECTION 8.2 FIDELITY BOND AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS INSURANCE
POLICY MAINTAINED BY THE MASTER SERVICER. The Master Servicer, at its expense,
shall maintain in effect a Servicer Fidelity Bond and a Servicer Errors and
Omissions Insurance Policy. The Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy
and Servicer Fidelity Bond shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer (unless the
Master Servicer self insures as provided below) and be in form and amount
consistent with the Servicing Standard. In the event that any such Servicer
Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy or Servicer Fidelity Bond ceases to be in
effect, the Master Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond
from an insurer or issuer meeting the requirements set forth above as of the
date of such replacement. So long as the long-term rating of the Master Servicer
is not in any event less than "A" as rated by Fitch and "A" as rated by S&P,
respectively, the Master Servicer may self-insure for the Servicer Fidelity Bond
and the Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.

Loans and shall, subject to Sections 8.7, 8.18, 8.19, 8.27 and Article XII

authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in
connection with such servicing and administration in accordance with the

Mortgage Loan that is contemplated or permitted under a Mortgage or other
documents evidencing or securing the applicable Mortgage Loan (either as a
matter of right or upon satisfaction of specified conditions), (H) to obtain,
release, waive or modify any term other than a Money Term of a Mortgage Loan and
related documents subject to and to the extent permitted by Section 8.18, (I) to
exercise all rights, powers and privileges granted or provided to the holder of
the Mortgage Notes, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and any B Note under
the terms of the Mortgage, including all rights of consent or approval
thereunder, subject to Sections 8.7 and 8.18 of this Agreement, (J) to enter
into lease subordination agreements, non-disturbance and attornment agreements
or other leasing or rental arrangements which may be requested by the Mortgagor
or the Mortgagor's tenants, (K) to join the Mortgagor in granting, modifying or
releasing any easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions, equitable
servitudes, or land use or zoning requirements with respect to the Mortgaged
Properties to the extent such does not adversely affect the value of the related
Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, (L) to execute and deliver, on behalf of
itself, the
-172-
Trustee, the Trust (and, if applicable, the holders of the B Note and Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan) or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction
or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to
the Mortgaged Properties, and (M) hold in accordance with the terms of any
Mortgage Loan and this Agreement, Defeasance Collateral. The foregoing clauses
(A) through (M) are referred to collectively as "Master Servicer Consent
Matters." Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer shall have no power to
(i) waive any Prepayment Premiums or (ii) consent to any modification of a Money
Term of a Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the above, the Special Servicer shall
at all times process all Master Servicer Consent Matters (other than pursuant to
clause (M) above with respect to Defeasance Collateral) related to The Pier at
Caesars Mortgage Loan and the Tower 17 Mortgage Loan and the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to any and all fees (as additional Special Servicer
Compensation) related to The Pier at Caesars Mortgage Loan and the Tower 17
Mortgage Loan that would otherwise have been payable to the Master Servicer
under this Section 8.3(a) (other than any defeasance fees, which shall be
payable to the Master Servicer). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit
the ability of the Master Servicer to lend money to (to the extent not secured,
in whole or in part, by any Mortgaged Property), accept deposits from and
otherwise generally engage in any kind of business or dealings with any
Mortgagor as though the Master Servicer was not a party to this Agreement or to
the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that this sentence
shall not modify the Servicing Standard.
(b) The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans which have become and continue to be Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans, except as specifically provided herein. The Master
Servicer shall be required to make all calculations and prepare all reports
required hereunder with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (other
than calculations and reports expressly required to be made by the Special
Servicer hereunder) as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and shall
continue to collect all Scheduled Payments, make Servicing Advances as set forth
herein, make P&I Advances as set forth herein and render such incidental
services with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, all as are
specifically provided for herein, but shall have no other servicing or other
duties with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for its failure to make
the calculations or prepare the reports required pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan if such
failure is directly caused by the Special Servicer's failure to provide the
Master Servicer with the information that it is required to deliver to the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.32(a). The Master Servicer shall give
notice within three Business Days to the Special Servicer of any collections it
receives from any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, subject to changes agreed
upon from time to time by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer. The
Special Servicer shall instruct within one Business Day after receiving such
notice the Master Servicer on how to apply such funds. The Master Servicer
within one Business Day after receiving such instructions shall apply such funds
in accordance with the Special Servicer's instructions. Each Mortgage Loan that
becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall continue as such until such
Mortgage Loan becomes a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall
not be required to initiate extraordinary collection procedures or legal
proceedings with respect to any Mortgage Loan or to undertake any
pre-foreclosure procedures.
-173-
(c) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall sign the Power of Attorney attached hereto as Exhibit S-1. From time to
time until the termination of the Trust, upon receipt of additional unexecuted
powers of attorney from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Trustee
shall execute and return to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any
Primary Servicer any additional powers of attorney and other documents necessary
or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, documents
relating to the management, operation, maintenance, repair, leasing or marketing
of the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for
any costs, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the
Trustee in connection with the intentional or negligent misuse of such power of
attorney by the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall without
the Trustee's written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding
solely under the Trustee's name without indicating the Master Servicer's or
Special Servicer's, as applicable, representative capacity, or (ii) knowingly
take any action that causes the Trustee to be registered to do business in any
state, provided, however, that the preceding clause (i) shall not apply to the
initiation of actions relating to a Mortgage Loan that the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is servicing pursuant to its
respective duties herein (in which case the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, shall give three (3) Business Days prior notice to
the Trustee of the initiation of such action). The limitations of the preceding
clause shall not be construed to limit any duty or obligation imposed on the
Trustee under any other provision of this Agreement.
(d) The Master Servicer shall make efforts consistent with the
Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the applicable Mortgage Loans
(other than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Properties).
(e) The Master Servicer (or the applicable Primary Servicer on its
behalf) shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to
any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) constituting
Escrow Amounts separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets
and shall establish and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts
(each, an "Escrow Account") into which all Escrow Amounts shall be deposited
within one (1) Business Day after receipt. Each Escrow Account shall be an
Eligible Account, except with respect to Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule
VI for which Escrow Accounts shall be transferred to Eligible Accounts at the
earliest date permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master
Servicer shall also deposit into each Escrow Account any amounts representing
losses on Eligible Investments pursuant to the immediately succeeding paragraph
and any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds which are required to be
applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the
related Mortgage Loan. Each Escrow Account shall be maintained in accordance
with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the
Servicing Standard. Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made only:
(i) to effect timely payments of items constituting Escrow
Amounts for the related Mortgage Loan;
-174-
(ii) to transfer funds to the Certificate Account (or any
sub-account thereof) to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Advance (or the
Trust for any Unliquidated Advance) relating to Escrow Amounts, but only from
amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan which represent late
collections of Escrow Amounts thereunder;
(iii) for application to the restoration or repair of the
related Mortgaged Property in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan and the
Servicing Standard;
(iv) to clear and terminate such Escrow Account upon the
termination of this Agreement or pay-off of the related Mortgage Loan;
(v) to pay from time to time to the related Mortgagor any
interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account if
such income is required to be paid to the related Mortgagor under applicable law
or by the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or otherwise to the Master Servicer; and
(vi) to remove any funds deposited in a Escrow Account that
were not required to be deposited therein or to refund amounts to the Mortgagors
determined to be overages.
Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, (i) the Master
Servicer may direct any depository institution or trust company in which the
Escrow Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein in one or more
Eligible Investments; provided, however, that such funds shall be either (x)
immediately available or (y) available in accordance with a schedule which will
permit the Master Servicer to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow
Account was established; (ii) the Master Servicer shall be entitled to all
income and gain realized from any such investment of funds as additional
servicing compensation; and (iii) the Master Servicer shall deposit from its own
funds in the applicable Escrow Account the amount of any loss incurred in
respect of any such investment of funds immediately upon the realization of such
loss. The Master Servicer shall not direct the investment of funds held in any
Escrow Account and retain the income and gain realized therefrom if the terms of
the related Mortgage Loan or applicable law permit the Mortgagor to be entitled
to the income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited therein,
and the Master Servicer shall not be required to invest amounts on deposit in
Escrow Accounts in Eligible Investments or Eligible Accounts to the extent that
the Master Servicer is required by either law or under the terms of any related
Mortgage Loan to deposit or invest (or the Mortgagor is entitled to direct the
deposit or investment of) such amounts in another type of investments or
accounts. In the event the Master Servicer is not entitled to direct the
investment of such funds, (1) the Master Servicer shall direct the depository
institution or trust company in which such Escrow Accounts are maintained to
invest the funds held therein in accordance with the Mortgagor's written
investment instructions, if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or applicable
law require the Master Servicer to invest such funds in accordance with the
Mortgagor's directions; and (2) in the absence of appropriate written
instructions from the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation
to, but may be entitled to, direct the investment of such funds; provided,
however, that in either event (i) such funds shall be either (y) immediately
available or (z) available in accordance with a schedule which will permit the
Master Servicer to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow Account was
established, and (ii) the Master Servicer shall have no liability for any loss
-175-
in investments of such funds that are invested pursuant to written instructions
from the Mortgagor.
(f) The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer to the Trustee and the Paying Agent and to each other under
this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent
contractor and not of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
(g) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, if required by the terms
of the related Mortgage Loan, any Lock-Box Agreement or similar agreement, the
Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, one or more lock-box, cash management or similar accounts ("Lock-Box
Accounts") to be held outside the Trust and maintained by the Master Servicer in
accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage. No Lock-Box Account is
required to be an Eligible Account, unless otherwise required pursuant to the
related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer shall apply the funds
deposited in such accounts in accordance with terms of the related Mortgage Loan
documents, any Lock-Box Agreement and in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
(h) The Master Servicer or the applicable Primary Servicer on its
behalf shall process all defeasances of Mortgage Loans (including with respect
to Mortgage Loan No. 1, The Pier at Caesars Mortgage Loan) in accordance with
the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents, and shall be entitled to any fees paid
relating thereto. The Master Servicer shall not permit defeasance (or partial
defeasance if permitted under the Mortgage Loan) of any Mortgage Loan on or
before the second anniversary of the Closing Date unless such defeasance will
not result in an Adverse REMIC Event and the Master Servicer has received an
opinion of counsel to such effect and all items in the following sentence have
been satisfied. Subsequent to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the
Master Servicer, in connection with the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan shall
require (to the extent it is not inconsistent with the Servicing Standard) that:
(i) the defeasance collateral consists of Government Securities that are
acceptable as defeasance collateral under the current guidelines of the Rating
Agencies, (ii) the Master Servicer has determined that the defeasance will not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (iii) either (A) the related Mortgagor
designates a Single-Purpose Entity to own the Defeasance Collateral (subject to
customary qualifications) or (B) the Master Servicer has established a
Single-Purpose Entity to hold all Defeasance Collateral relating to the
Defeasance Loans, (iv) the Master Servicer has requested and received from the
Mortgagor (A) an opinion of counsel that the Trustee will have a perfected,
first priority security interest in such Defeasance Collateral and (B) written
confirmation from a firm of independent accountants stating that payments made
on such Defeasance Collateral in accordance with the terms thereof will be
sufficient to pay the subject Mortgage Loan (or the defeased portion thereof in
connection with a partial defeasance) in full on or before its Maturity Date
(or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on or before its Anticipated Repayment Date)
and to timely pay each subsequent Scheduled Payment, (v) (A) a Rating Agency
Confirmation is received if the Mortgage Loan (together with any other Mortgage
Loan with which it is cross-collateralized) has a Principal Balance greater than
the lesser of $35,000,000 and 5% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance, unless
such Rating Agency has waived in writing such Rating Agency Confirmation
requirement (or such higher or lower threshold, if any, as shall be published by
the Rating Agencies) or (B) if the Mortgage Loan is less than or equal to both
of the amounts set forth in clause (A) and the successor Mortgagor with respect
to the subject Mortgage Loan and its affiliates collectively have assumed
Mortgage Loans comprising an aggregate principal amount at least equal to the
lesser of $35,000,000 and
-176-
5% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance (or such higher or lower threshold, if
any, as shall be published by the Rating Agencies), either a Notice and
Certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Z (or such less restrictive
forms, if any, as shall be adopted by the Rating Agencies) or a Rating Agency
Confirmation is received from S&P and (vi) a Rating Agency Confirmation is
received if the Mortgage Loan is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans, by
Principal Balance. Any customary and reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred
by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.3(h) shall be paid by the
Mortgagor of the Defeasance Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note
or other pertinent document, if so allowed by the terms of such documents.
The parties hereto acknowledge that if the payments described in
paragraph 39 of Exhibit 2 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements regarding the
obligation of a Mortgagor to pay the reasonable costs and expenses associated
with a defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the
Trust, including, but not limited to, rating agency fees, then the sole
obligation of the related Seller shall be to pay an amount equal to such
insufficiency or expense to the extent the related Mortgagor is not required to
pay such amount. If any amount is due under the preceding sentence for any Joint
Mortgage Loan, then each of the applicable Sellers shall be required to pay only
such party's pro rate share. Promptly upon receipt of notice of such
insufficiency or unpaid expense, the Master Servicer shall request the related
Seller to make such payment by deposit to the Certificate Account.
In the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall process any defeasance of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
in accordance with the original terms of the respective Mortgage Loan documents
following a request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer do so,
which request shall be accompanied by a waiver of any condition of defeasance
that an "event of default" under such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan not have
occurred or be continuing, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to any fees
paid relating to such defeasance. If such "event of default" is on account of an
uncured payment default, the Special Servicer will process the defeasance of
such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to any fees paid relating to such defeasance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans
originated or acquired by MSMCH and subject to defeasance, MSMCH has retained
the right to designate and establish the successor borrower and to purchase or
cause the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of the related defeasance
collateral ("MSMCH Defeasance Rights and Obligations"). In the event the Master
Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan
originated or acquired by MSMCH and subject to defeasance, the Master Servicer
shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance
request to MSMCH or its assignee. Until such time as MSMCH provides written
notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with MSMCH
Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to MSMCH pursuant to the
notice provisions of this Agreement.
(i) The Master Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan which is
secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a ground lease, confirm
whether or not on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after the
Closing Date, the Seller has notified the related ground lessor of the transfer
of such Mortgage Loan to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and informed such
ground lessor that any notices of default under the related Ground Lease should
thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer (as evidenced by delivery of a
copy thereof to the
-177-
Master Servicer). The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the ground lessor if
the Seller has failed to do so by the thirtieth day after the Closing Date.
(j) Pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, the owner of
any B Note has agreed that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are
authorized and obligated to service and administer the B Note pursuant to this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall be entitled, during any period when the A
Note and B Note under any A/B Mortgage Loan do not constitute Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans, to exercise the rights and powers granted under the related
Intercreditor Agreement to the "Note A Holder" and/or the "Servicer" referred to
therein. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be entitled or required to
exercise the rights and powers granted to any "Note B Holder" as defined under
the related Intercreditor Agreement.
(k) Pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Intercreditor Agreement, the owner of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has agreed
that such owner's rights in, to and under such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are
subject to the servicing and all other rights of the applicable Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
Special Servicer, and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer
and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer are authorized
and obligated to service and administer such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant
to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that the Master Servicer's obligations and responsibilities hereunder
and the Master Servicer's authority with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of the applicable
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Special Servicer with respect thereto under the related
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall use reasonable best efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to
monitor the servicing of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the applicable
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Special Servicer pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage
Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall enforce the rights of the Trustee
(as holder of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) under the related Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer shall take such
actions as it shall deem reasonably necessary to facilitate the servicing of any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master
Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer
including, but not limited to, delivering appropriate Requests for Release to
the Trustee and Custodian (if any) in order to deliver any portion of the
related Mortgage File to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master
Servicer or applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer under the
related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(l) Pursuant to each Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement, the owner
of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan has agreed that the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer are authorized and obligated to service and
administer the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement. The
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee are, to the extent
applicable, authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the owner or
owners of the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan a letter agreement dated as of
the Closing
-178-
Date setting forth provisions as to, among other things, the timing of
remittances, advances and reports relating to the Serviced Companion Mortgage
Loan, and references herein to the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement
shall be construed to refer to such Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement and such
letter agreement taken together, as applicable. To the extent that the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee have duties and obligations
under any such letter agreement, each successor master servicer, successor
special servicer, and/or successor trustee, respectively, under this Agreement
shall perform such duties and satisfy such obligations.
SECTION 8.4 PRIMARY SERVICING AND SUB-SERVICING.
(a) The Master Servicer shall supervise, administer, monitor,
enforce and oversee the servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loans by any
Sub-Servicer appointed by it. Other than with respect to the agreements with any
Primary Servicer or the Sub-Servicers under agreements that are in effect as of
the Closing Date, the terms of any arrangement or agreement between the Master
Servicer and a Sub-Servicer shall provide that such agreement or arrangement may
be terminated, without cause and without the payment of any termination fees, by
the Trustee in the event such Master Servicer is terminated in accordance with
this Agreement. In addition, none of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Certificateholders, the holder of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or the
holder of any B Note shall have any direct obligation or liability (including,
without limitation, indemnification obligations) with respect to any
Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of enforcement against any
of its Sub-Servicers at its own expense, but shall be reimbursed therefor only
(i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent
that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage
Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys fees
against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. Notwithstanding the
provisions of any primary servicing agreement or sub-servicing agreement, any of
the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between
the Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer, or reference to actions taken through a
Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable
to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Special Servicer and the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the applicable
Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans in accordance with (and
subject to the limitations contained within) the provisions of this Agreement
without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of indemnification
from a Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and
conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans.
(b) Subject to the limitations of subsection (a), the Master
Servicer may appoint one or more sub-servicers to perform all or any portion of
its duties hereunder for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
provided, however, that after the Closing Date, for so long (but only for so
long) as the Trust, and, with respect to any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan,
the trust in the related Other Securitization, are subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, neither the Master Servicer, nor the Special
Servicer shall enter into a sub-servicing agreement with any Prohibited Party.
Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement to
the contrary, (i) each Primary Servicer's (if any) rights and obligations under
the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination
of the Master Servicer's servicing rights under
-179-
this Agreement; provided that the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement has not
been terminated in accordance with its provisions; (ii) any successor Master
Servicer, including, without limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the
servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically
assume and agree to the then current Primary Servicing Agreement without further
action upon becoming the successor Master Servicer and (iii) this Agreement may
not be modified in any manner which would increase the obligations or limit the
rights of the Primary Servicer hereunder and/or under the applicable Primary
Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Primary Servicer
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
If a task, right or obligation of Master Servicer is delegated to
the Primary Servicer under the Primary Servicing Agreement, and such task, right
or obligation involves or requires the consent of the Special Servicer, then the
Special Servicer shall accept the performance of such task, right or obligation
by the Primary Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
(including without limitation any time periods for consent or deemed consent to
be observed by the Special Servicer) as if Master Servicer were performing it.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, each of the parties
hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Special Servicer is neither a party to
the Primary Servicing Agreement, nor is it bound by any provision of the Primary
Servicing Agreement. The Special Servicer hereby acknowledges the delegation of
rights and duties hereunder by the Master Servicer pursuant to the provisions of
any Primary Servicing Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any
sub-servicing agreement with a Sub-Servicer (excluding any Primary Servicing
Agreement) shall provide that (i) the failure of such Sub-Servicer to comply
with any of the requirements of Article XIII of this Agreement, (ii) at any time
when the Trust or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan that is
deposited into an Other Securitization, such Other Securitization, is subject to
the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the failure of such Sub-Servicer
to comply with any requirements to deliver any items required by Items 1122 and
1123 of Regulation AB under any other pooling and servicing agreement relating
to any commercial mortgage loan securitization similar to the Trust or (iii) the
status of such Sub-Servicer as a Prohibited Party at any time during which the
Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act shall
constitute an event of default by such Sub-Servicer under such sub-servicing
agreement upon the occurrence of which any of the Master Servicer, the Primary
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor shall have the right to
immediately terminate such Sub-Servicer and that such termination shall be
deemed for cause.
SECTION 8.5 SERVICERS MAY OWN CERTIFICATES. The Master Servicer
and any Primary Servicer and any agent of the Master Servicer or any Primary
Servicer in their individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the
Master Servicer or such agent. Any such interest of the Master Servicer or any
Primary Servicer or such agent in the Certificates shall not be taken into
account when evaluating whether actions of the Master Servicer are consistent
with its obligations in accordance with the Servicing Standard regardless of
whether such actions may have the effect of benefiting the Class or Classes of
Certificates owned by the Master Servicer.
-180-
SECTION 8.6 MAINTENANCE OF HAZARD INSURANCE, OTHER INSURANCE,
TAXES AND OTHER. Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Master Servicer
shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the
related Mortgagor to maintain for each Mortgage Loan (other than any REO
Mortgage Loan or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (A) a Standard Hazard Insurance
Policy (that, if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and the
related Mortgage so require or so permit the holder of the Mortgage Loan to
require, contains no exclusion for damages due to any Act or Acts of Terrorism,
as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002) and which does not
provide for reduction due to depreciation in an amount that is at least equal to
the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of improvements securing such
Mortgage Loan or (ii) the outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan
and any related B Note or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, but, in any event,
in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause and
(B) any other insurance coverage for a Mortgage Loan which the related Mortgagor
is required to maintain under the related Mortgage, provided the Master Servicer
shall not be required to maintain earthquake insurance on any Mortgaged Property
unless such insurance was required at origination and is available at
commercially reasonable rates; provided, however, that the Special Servicer
shall have the right, but not the duty, to obtain, at the Trust's expense,
earthquake insurance on any Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or an REO Property so long as such insurance is available at
commercially reasonable rates. If the related Mortgagor does not maintain the
insurance set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above, then the Master Servicer shall
cause such insurance to be maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Master
Servicer shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect to
clause (A) above if the Mortgagor maintains, or the Master Servicer shall have
otherwise caused to be obtained, a Standard Hazard Insurance Policy that is in
compliance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, and, if required by such
Mortgage Loan documents or if such Mortgage Loan documents permit the holder of
the Mortgage Loan to require, the Mortgagor pays, or the Master Servicer shall
have otherwise caused to be paid, the premium required by the related insurance
provider that is necessary to avoid an exclusion in such policy against "acts of
terrorism" as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002.
Each Standard Hazard Insurance Policy maintained with respect to any
Mortgaged Property that is not an REO Property shall contain, or have an
accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. If the
improvements on the Mortgaged Property are located in a designated special flood
hazard area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the Federal Register,
as amended from time to time (to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage
Loan or as required by law), the Master Servicer (with respect to any Mortgaged
Property that is not an REO Property) shall cause flood insurance to be
maintained. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of
(i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) the
maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property
under the national flood insurance program, if the area in which the
improvements on the Mortgaged Property are located is participating in such
program. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies
(other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan) shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account.
Any cost (such as insurance premiums and insurance broker fees but
not internal costs and expenses of obtaining such insurance) incurred by the
Master Servicer in maintaining
-181-
any insurance pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to
the Paying Agent for their benefit, be added to the Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan permit such
cost to be added to the outstanding Principal Balance thereof. Such costs shall
be paid as a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer, subject to Section 4.4
hereof.
Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer shall have no
obligation beyond using its reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing
Standard to enforce such insurance requirements. Furthermore, the Master
Servicer shall not be required in any event to cause the Mortgagor to maintain
or itself obtain insurance coverage beyond what is available on commercially
reasonable terms at a cost customarily acceptable (in each case, as determined
by the Master Servicer, which shall be entitled to rely, at its sole expense, on
insurance consultants in making such determination, consistent with the
Servicing Standard) and consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, that
the Master Servicer shall be obligated to cause the Mortgagor to maintain or
itself obtain insurance against property damage resulting from terrorism or
similar acts if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related
Mortgage so require unless the Master Servicer determines that (i) such
insurance is not available at any rate or (ii) such insurance is not available
at commercially reasonable rates and such hazards are not at the time commonly
insured against for properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property and
located in or around the region in which such related Mortgaged Property is
located; provided, that such determination must be made by the Master Servicer
in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in any event, shall be made on
the approximate date on (but not later than sixty (60) days thereafter) which
the Master Servicer receives notice of the renewal, replacement or cancellation
of coverage (as evidenced by the related insurance policy or insurance
certificate). Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in the preceding
sentence, if the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage
require the Mortgagor to maintain insurance against property damage resulting
from terrorism or similar acts, the Master Servicer shall prior to availing
itself of any limitation described in that sentence with respect to any Mortgage
Loan (or any component loan of an A/B Mortgage Loan) that has a principal
balance in excess of $2,500,000, obtain the approval or disapproval of the
Special Servicer and the Operating Adviser (subject to the penultimate paragraph
of Section 9.39). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on the
determination of the Special Servicer made in connection with such approval or
disapproval. The Special Servicer shall decide whether to withhold or grant such
approval in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If any such approval has not
been expressly denied within seven (7) Business Days of receipt by the Special
Servicer and Operating Adviser from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer's
determination and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the
Special Servicer and reasonably available to the Master Servicer in order to
make an informed decision, such approval shall be deemed to have been granted.
The Master Servicer shall notify the holder of the related Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan of any determination that it makes pursuant to clauses (i) and
(ii) above with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied
its obligations as set forth in this Section 8.6 either (i) if the Master
Servicer shall have obtained and maintained a master force placed or blanket
insurance policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the applicable
Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and any B Note serviced by
it, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible
clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and
maintained by comparable servicers
-182-
consistent with the Servicing Standard, and provided that such policy is issued
by a Qualified Insurer or (ii) if the Master Servicer, provided that its
long-term rating is not less than "A" by Fitch and S&P, self-insures for its
obligations as set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 8.6. In the
event that the Master Servicer shall cause any Mortgage Loan to be covered by
such a master force placed or blanket insurance policy, the incremental cost of
such insurance allocable to such Mortgage Loan (i.e., other than any minimum or
standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgage Loan is then
covered thereby), if not borne by the related Mortgagor, shall be paid by the
Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. If such policy contains a deductible
clause, the Master Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on
the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with this Section 8.6 and
there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy,
deposit in the Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable under such
master force placed or blanket insurance policy because of such deductible
clause to the extent that such deductible exceeds (i) the deductible under the
related Mortgage Loan or (ii) if there is no deductible limitation required
under the Mortgage Loan, the deductible amount with respect to insurance
policies generally available on properties similar to the related Mortgaged
Property which is consistent with the Servicing Standard, and deliver to the
Trustee an Officer's Certificate describing the calculation of such amount. In
connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and any B Note, the Master Servicer
agrees to present, on its behalf and on behalf of the Trustee and the holders of
any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or any B Note, claims under any such master
force placed or blanket insurance policy.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property
reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or
may become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the status of insurance
premiums payable with respect thereto. From time to time, the Master Servicer
(other than with respect to REO Mortgage Loans) shall (i) obtain all bills for
the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) except in the
case of Mortgage Loans under which Escrow Amounts are not held by the Master
Servicer, effect payment of all such bills, taxes and other assessments with
respect to such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable penalty or
termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Amounts as
allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgagor fails to
make any such payment on a timely basis or collections from the Mortgagor are
insufficient to pay any such item before the applicable penalty or termination
date, the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard shall use
its reasonable efforts to pay as a Servicing Advance the amount necessary to
effect the payment of any such item prior to such penalty or termination date,
subject to Section 4.4 hereof. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee as the case may be, in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on
the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums and ground rents shall,
for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to
the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of
such Mortgage Loans permit such costs to be added to the outstanding Principal
Balances of such Mortgage Loans.
SECTION 8.7 ENFORCEMENT OF DUE-ON-SALE CLAUSES; ASSUMPTION
AGREEMENTS; DUE-ON-ENCUMBRANCE CLAUSE.
(a) If the Master Servicer receives a request from a Mortgagor (or
other obligor) pursuant to the provisions of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan
-183-
or B Note (other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Non-Serviced
Mortgage Loan) that expressly permits, subject to any conditions set forth in
the Mortgage Loan documents, the assignment of the related Mortgaged Property
to, and assumption of such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B
Note by, another Person, the Master Servicer shall obtain relevant information
for purposes of evaluating such request. For the purpose of the foregoing
sentence, the term `expressly permits' shall include outright permission to
assign, permission to assign upon satisfaction of certain conditions or
prohibition against assignment except upon the satisfaction of stated
conditions. If the Master Servicer recommends that such assignment be approved,
the Master Servicer shall provide to the Special Servicer (and solely with
respect to any A/B Mortgage Loan, the holder of the B Note) a copy of such
recommendation and the materials upon which such recommendation is based and (A)
the Special Servicer shall have the right hereunder to grant or withhold consent
to any such request for such assignment and assumption in accordance with the
terms of the Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note and this
Agreement, and the Special Servicer shall not unreasonably withhold such consent
and any such decision of the Special Servicer shall be in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, (B) failure of the Special Servicer to notify the Master
Servicer in writing, within five (5) Business Days following the Master
Servicer's delivery of the recommendation described above and the complete
Assignment and Assumption Submission to Special Servicer on which the
recommendation is based, of its determination to grant or withhold such consent
shall be deemed to constitute a grant of such consent and (C) the Master
Servicer shall not permit any such assignment or assumption unless (i) it has
received the written consent of the Special Servicer or such consent has been
deemed to have been granted as set forth in the preceding sentence and (ii) with
respect to any A/B Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer has obtained the approval
of the holder of the related B Note, to the extent provided for in the related
Intercreditor Agreement, and in accordance with any procedures therefor set
forth in Section 9.40. The Special Servicer hereby acknowledges the delegation
of rights and duties hereunder by the Master Servicer pursuant to the provisions
of any Primary Servicing Agreement. If the Special Servicer withholds consent
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, it shall provide the Master
Servicer or the applicable Primary Servicer with a written statement and a
verbal explanation as to its reasoning and analysis. Upon consent or deemed
consent by the Special Servicer to such proposed assignment and assumption, the
Master Servicer shall process such request of the related Mortgagor (or other
obligor) and shall be authorized to enter into an assignment and assumption or
substitution agreement with the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property
has been or is proposed to be conveyed, and/or release the original Mortgagor
from liability under the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
or B Note and substitute as obligor thereunder the Person to whom the related
Mortgaged Property has been or is proposed to be conveyed; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not enter into any such agreement to the extent
that any terms thereof would result in an Adverse REMIC Event or create any lien
on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on parity with, the lien of the
related Mortgage. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Master Servicer
shall not enter into such an assumption or substitution agreement unless the
credit status of the prospective new Mortgagor (or other obligor) is in
conformity to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, B Note
or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan documents. In making its recommendation, the
Master Servicer shall evaluate such conformity in accordance with the Servicing
Standard. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Special Servicer
of any assignment and assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to
this Section 8.7(a). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to (as additional
servicing
-184-
compensation) 100% of any assumption application fees and 50% of any assumption
fee collected from a Mortgagor in connection with an assignment and assumption
or substitution of a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan executed pursuant to
this Section 8.7(a) and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to (as additional
special servicing compensation) the other 50% of such assumption fee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer acknowledges
that the Master Servicer has delegated certain tasks, rights and obligations to
any Primary Servicer with respect to Post Closing Requests (as defined in the
Primary Servicing Agreement) pursuant to Section 8.4 of this Agreement. The
Primary Servicing Agreement classifies certain Post Closing Requests as Category
1 Requests and grants the Primary Servicer certain authority to evaluate and
process such requests in accordance with this Agreement, the Primary Servicing
Agreement and applicable Mortgage Loan documents.
With respect to a Category 1 Request that involves a condition, term
or provision that requires, or specifies a standard of, consent or approval of
the applicable Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan documents, the Primary
Servicing Agreement provides for the determination of materiality of such
condition, term or provision requiring approval or consent by the Master
Servicer or the Primary Servicer and the referral of such condition, term or
provision to a Special Servicer for consent in accordance with the terms of the
Primary Servicing Agreement upon a determination of materiality. The Special
Servicer acknowledges such provisions. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall
grant the Primary Servicer greater authority, discretion or delegated rights
over Post Closing Requests than are set forth in the Primary Servicing
Agreement.
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any
liability, and each of them shall be indemnified by the Trust for any liability
to the Mortgagor or the proposed assignee, for any delay in responding to
requests for assumption, if the same shall occur as a result of the failure of
the Rating Agencies, or any of them, to respond to such request in a reasonable
period of time.
(b) Other than with respect to the assignment and assumptions
referred to in subsection (a) above, if any Mortgage Loan that is not a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan contains a
provision in the nature of a "due-on-sale" clause, which by its terms (i)
provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee's option) become
due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related
Mortgaged Property or ownership interest in the related Mortgagor, or (ii)
provides that such Mortgage Loan may not be assumed, or ownership interests in
the related Mortgagor may not be transferred, without the consent of the related
mortgagee in connection with any such sale or other transfer, then, the Master
Servicer shall review and make a determination to either (i) enforce such
due-on-sale clause or (ii) if in the best economic interest of the Trust, waive
the effect of such provision, such waiver to be processed in the same manner as
in Section 8.7(a) (including the Special Servicer consent provisions); provided,
however, that if the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan (together with any
other Mortgage Loan with which it is cross-collateralized) at such time equals
or exceeds 5% of the Aggregate Certificate Balance or exceeds $35,000,000 or is
one of the then current top 10 loans (by Principal Balance) in the pool, then
prior to waiving the effect of such provision, the Master Servicer shall obtain
Rating Agency Confirmation (including with respect to any securities which are
rated by a Rating Agency evidencing direct
-185-
beneficial interests in the A Notes and any B Note) regarding such waiver. In
connection with the request for such Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master
Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Rating Agencies a memorandum outlining
its analysis and recommendation in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
together with copies of all relevant documentation. The Master Servicer shall
promptly forward copies of the assignment and assumption documents relating to
any Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer and the Trustee, and the Master
Servicer shall promptly thereafter forward such documents to the Rating Agencies
if a Rating Agency Confirmation was required with respect to such assignment and
assumption in accordance with this paragraph. The Special Servicer and the
Master Servicer shall each be entitled to (as additional compensation) 50% of
any fee collected from a Mortgagor in connection with granting or withholding
such consent (other than any such fee payable in connection with any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan).
The parties hereto acknowledge that, if the payments described in
paragraph 39 of Exhibit 2 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements regarding the
obligation of a Mortgagor to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of obtaining
any Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with an assumption of the related
Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Trust, then it shall be the sole
obligation of the related Seller to pay an amount equal to such insufficiency to
the extent the related Mortgagor is not required to pay them. Promptly upon
receipt of notice of such insufficiency, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, shall request the related Seller to make such payment
by deposit to the Certificate Account. If any amount is due under the preceding
sentence for any Joint Mortgage Loan, then each of the applicable Sellers shall
be required to pay only such party's pro rata share. The Master Servicer may not
waive such payment by the Mortgagor and shall use its reasonable efforts to
collect such amounts from the Mortgagor to the extent the related mortgage loan
documents require the related Mortgagor to pay such amounts.
(c) The Master Servicer shall have the right to consent to any
transfers of an interest of a Mortgagor, to the extent such transfer is to a
party or entity specifically named or described under the terms of the related
Mortgage Loan, including any consent to transfer to any subsidiary or affiliate
of Mortgagor or to a person acquiring less than a majority interest in the
Mortgagor; provided, however, that if (i) the Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan (together with any other Mortgage Loan with which it is
cross-collateralized) at such time equals or exceeds 5% of the Aggregate
Certificate Balance or exceeds $35,000,000 or is one of the then current top 10
loans (by Principal Balance) in the pool, and (ii) the transfer is of an
interest in the Mortgagor greater than 49%, then prior to consenting, the Master
Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation regarding such consent, the
costs of which to be payable by the related Mortgagor to the extent provided for
in the Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to collect
and receive from Mortgagors any customary fees in connection with such transfers
of interest as additional servicing compensation.
(d) The Master Servicer for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
the holder of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan and the holder of any B Note
shall execute any necessary instruments (pursuant to subsection (b)) for such
assignments and assumptions agreements pursuant to a Power of Attorney in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit S-1. Upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated by such documents, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, shall cause the originals of the assignment and assumption
agreement, the release (if any), or the modification or supplement to the
Mortgage Loan to be
-186-
delivered to the Trustee except to the extent such documents have been submitted
to the recording office, in which event the Master Servicer shall promptly
deliver copies of such documents to the Trustee and the Special Servicer.
(e) If any Mortgage Loan (other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) which contains a provision in the nature
of a "due-on-encumbrance" clause, which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the
mortgagee's option) become due and payable upon the creation of any additional
lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or a lien on an
ownership interest in the Mortgagor; or
(ii) requires the consent of the Mortgagee to the creation
of any such additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged
Property or a lien on an ownership interest in the Mortgagor,
then, as long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust, the Master
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the Mortgagee of record, shall exercise
(or, subject to Section 8.18, waive its right to exercise) any right it may have
with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon, or
(y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any such additional lien or other
encumbrance, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, the following
paragraph and Section 8.18 hereof. The Master Servicer shall not waive the
effect of such provision without first obtaining Rating Agency Confirmation
(including with respect to any securities which are rated by a Rating Agency
evidencing direct beneficial interests in the A Notes and any B Note) regarding
such waiver and complying with the provisions of the next succeeding paragraph;
provided, however, that such Rating Agency Confirmation shall only be required
if the applicable Mortgage Loan (x) represents 2% or more of the Principal
Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans held by the Trust, has a Principal Balance
of more than $20,000,000 or is one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans based on
Principal Balance or (y) has a Loan-to-Value Ratio (which includes the
indebtedness to be secured by such additional lien or other encumbrance and any
other loans secured by the related Mortgaged Property or interests in the
related Mortgagor) that is greater than or equal to 85% or a Debt Service
Coverage Ratio (which includes debt service on the indebtedness to be secured by
such additional lien or other encumbrance and any other loans secured by the
related Mortgaged Property or interests in the related Mortgagor) that is less
than 1.2x.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding paragraph, in the
event that the Master Servicer receives a request for a waiver of any
"due-on-encumbrance" clause, the Master Servicer shall obtain relevant
information for purposes of evaluating such request for a waiver. If the Master
Servicer recommends to waive such clause, the Master Servicer shall provide to
the Special Servicer a copy of such recommendation and the materials upon which
such recommendation is based and (A) the Special Servicer shall have the right
hereunder to grant or withhold consent to any such request in accordance with
the terms of the Mortgage Loan and this Agreement, and the Special Servicer
shall not unreasonably withhold such consent and any such decision of the
Special Servicer shall be in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (B) failure
of the Special Servicer to notify the Master Servicer in writing, within five
(5) Business Days following the Master Servicer's delivery of the recommendation
described above and the complete Additional Lien, Monetary Encumbrance and
Mezzanine Financing Submission
-187-
Package to the Special Servicer on which the recommendation is based, of its
determination to grant or withhold such consent shall be deemed to constitute a
grant of such consent and (C) the Master Servicer shall not permit any such
waiver unless it has received the written consent of the Special Servicer or
such consent has been deemed to have been granted as set forth in the preceding
sentence. If the Special Servicer withholds consent pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, it shall provide the Master Servicer with a written statement and a
verbal explanation as to its reasoning and analysis. Upon consent or deemed
consent by the Special Servicer to such proposed waiver, the Master Servicer
shall process such request of the related Mortgagor subject to the other
requirements set forth above.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
8.7 that requires the consent of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, any such consent with respect to any A/B Mortgage Loan or any Loan
Pair shall be obtained in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement or
the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement and within the time periods
specified therein.
(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.7, with
respect to any matters related to The Pier at Caesars Mortgage Loan and the
Tower 17 Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall at all times be deemed to be
the "Master Servicer" for purposes of this Section 8.7 and the Special Servicer
shall be entitled (as additional Special Servicer Compensation) to any and all
fees that would otherwise have been payable to the Master Servicer under this
Section 8.7.
SECTION 8.8 TRUSTEE TO COOPERATE; RELEASE OF TRUSTEE MORTGAGE
FILES. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the complete defeasance of
a Mortgage Loan, satisfaction or discharge in full of any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the purchase of an A Note by the holder of a B Note pursuant to
the related Intercreditor Agreement, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a
notification that payment in full (or such payment, if any, in connection with
the satisfaction and discharge in full of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan)
will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, and upon notification
by the Master Servicer in the form of a certification (which certification shall
include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Certificate Account have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer
and a request for release of the Trustee Mortgage File in the form of Exhibit C
hereto the Trustee shall promptly release the related Trustee Mortgage File to
the Master Servicer and the Trustee (or Custodian on its behalf) shall execute
and deliver to the Master Servicer the deed of reconveyance or release,
satisfaction or assignment of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of
the Mortgage, as directed by the Master Servicer together with the Mortgage Note
with written evidence of cancellation thereon and, if the related Mortgage has
been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, the Master Servicer shall
take all necessary action to reflect the release of such Mortgage on the records
of MERS. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall not, in any
manner, limit or impair the right of the Master Servicer to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the holder of any Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan, the holder of any B Note or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction, cancellation or assignment without recourse,
representation or warranty, or of partial or full release or discharge and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan or any B Note, and with respect to the Mortgaged
Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the holder of any
Serviced Companion
-188-
Mortgage Loan and the holder of any B Note. No expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable
to the Distribution Account but shall be paid by the Master Servicer except to
the extent that such expenses are paid by the related Mortgagor in a manner
consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage and applicable law. From time
to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing of any Mortgage Loan,
including for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance, any
Servicer Fidelity Bond or Errors and Omissions Policy, or for the purposes of
effecting a partial or total release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of
the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Trustee Mortgage File,
the Trustee shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and the delivery to the
Trustee of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer, in the form of
Exhibit C hereto, release the Trustee Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be.
SECTION 8.9 DOCUMENTS, RECORDS AND FUNDS IN POSSESSION OF MASTER
SERVICER TO BE HELD FOR THE TRUSTEE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall transmit to the Trustee, and the Paying Agent, to the extent required by
this Agreement, all documents and instruments coming into the possession of the
Master Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee and the
Paying Agent for any funds received or otherwise collected thereby, including
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All
Servicer Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of,
the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans (or any B Note or Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan), whether from the collection of principal and interest
payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, including any funds
on deposit in the Certificate Account (or any A/B Loan Custodial Account or any
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Account), shall be held by the Master
Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders (or the
holder of any B Note or Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, as applicable) and
shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to
the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer agrees that it
shall not create, incur or subject any Servicer Mortgage Files or Trustee
Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Certificate Account or any
Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to
the Trustee or the Paying Agent, to any claim, lien, security interest,
judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal
action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Servicer Mortgage
Files or Trustee Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with,
a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
receive from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.10 SERVICING COMPENSATION.
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee, which shall be payable
by the Trust from amounts held in the Certificate Account (and from the related
A/B Loan Custodial Account to the extent related solely to a B Note and from the
related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan Custodial Account to the extent related
solely to a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan) or otherwise collected from the
Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 5.2. The Master Servicer shall be required
to pay to the applicable Primary Servicer its Primary Servicing Fees, which
shall be payable by the Trust
-189-

Primary Servicer from amounts transferred to the Master Servicer in accordance
with the terms of the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall be required to pay to the holders of the rights to the Excess
Servicing Fees, the Excess Servicing Fees, which shall be payable by the Trust
as provided in Section 5.1(c), unless otherwise retained by the holders of such
rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any of the holders
of the right to receive Excess Servicing Fees resigns or is no longer Master
Servicer or applicable Primary Servicer, as applicable, for any reason, it will
continue to have the right to receive its portion of the Excess Servicing Fee,
and any of the holders of the right to receive Excess Servicing Fees shall have
the right to assign its portion of the Excess Servicing Fee, whether or not it
is then acting as Master Servicer or Primary Servicer hereunder. The Master
Servicer shall also be entitled to the Primary Servicing Fee, which shall be
payable by the Trust from amounts held in the Certificate Account (or a
sub-account thereof) or otherwise collected from the Mortgage Loans as provided
in Section 5.2, provided that the Primary Servicing Fee payable to the Master
Servicer shall only be collected from the Mortgage Loans set forth on Schedule
III, except as provided in Section 8.28(b).
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of defeasance
fees, assumption fees, extension fees, servicing fees, default interest
(excluding default interest allocable to any B Note if the holder of the B Note
has cured the related default pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor
Agreement) payable at a rate above the Mortgage Rate (net of any amount used to
pay Advance Interest), Modification Fees, forbearance fees, Late Fees (net of
Advance Interest) (excluding Late Fees allocable to any B Note if the holder of
the B Note has cured the related default pursuant to the terms of the related
Intercreditor Agreement) or other usual and customary charges and fees actually
received from Mortgagors shall be retained by the Master Servicer, provided that
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to (i) receive 100% of assumption
application fees and 50% of assumption fees collected on Mortgage Loans as
provided in Section 8.7(a), (ii) Modification Fees as provided in Section 8.18
hereof, and (iii) 100% of any extension fees collected from the related
Mortgagor in connection with the extension of the Maturity Date of any Mortgage
Loan as provided in Section 8.18; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not be entitled to any such fees in connection with any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Master Servicer
collects any amount payable to the Special Servicer hereunder in connection with
an REO Mortgage Loan or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall promptly remit such amount to the Special Servicer as provided in Section
5.2. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all applicable expenses
incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder. The Master
Servicer shall not be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation
any portion of any Exit Fees, Extension Fees or Extension Term Prepayment
Premiums. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall be entitled
(as additional Special Servicer Compensation) to all Modification Fees,
forbearance fees, all assumption application fees, all assumption fees and all
extension fees related to The Pier at Caesars Mortgage Loan and the Tower 17
Mortgage Loan.
(c) The Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional
servicing compensation of (i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
aggregate Prepayment Interest Excess relating to Mortgage Loans which are not
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for each Distribution Date over the aggregate
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Mortgage Loans for such Distribution
Date, (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits in the Certificate
Account
-190-
(but only to the extent of the net investment earnings, if any, with respect to
each such account), and, (iii) to the extent not required to be paid to any
Mortgagor under applicable law, any interest or other income earned on deposits
in the Escrow Accounts.
SECTION 8.11 MASTER SERVICER REPORTS; ACCOUNT STATEMENTS.
(a) For each Distribution Date, (i) the Master Servicer shall

with the preceding sentence.
(c) Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Master Servicer

SECTION 8.17 INSPECTIONS. The Master Servicer shall, at its own
expense, inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property other than
Mortgaged Properties related to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, every calendar year beginning in 2008, or every
second calendar year beginning in 2009 if the Principal Balance of the related
Mortgage Loan or Loan Pair is less than $2,000,000 (it being understood that
such Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan or Loan Pair with a Principal
Balance of less than $2,000,000 will be inspected in the 2009 calendar year and
every second calendar year thereafter); provided that the Master Servicer shall,
at the expense of the Trust, inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged
Property related to a Mortgage Loan that has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio that
falls below 1.0x and provided further, that with respect to any Mortgage Loan or
Loan Pair that has a Principal Balance of less than $2,000,000 and has been
placed on the CMSA Watch List, the Master Servicer shall, at the expense of the
Trust and at the request of the Controlling Class, inspect or cause to be
inspected the related Mortgaged Property every calendar year beginning in 2008
so long as such Mortgage Loan or Loan Pair continues to be on the CMSA Watch
List; provided, if such Mortgage Loan or Loan Pair is no longer on the CMSA
Watch List at the time the inspection was scheduled, no such inspection shall be
required. The Master Servicer shall prepare an Inspection Report relating to
each inspection. The Master Servicer shall promptly forward the applicable
Inspection Report to the Placement Agent, the Underwriters, the Depositor,
solely as it relates to any Loan Pair, to the holder of the related Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan, and solely as it relates to any A/B Mortgage Loan, to
the holder of the related B Note, and upon request, to the Trustee, the
Operating Adviser, the Special Servicer, the Rating Agencies, any
Certificateholder, any Certificate Owner, any Seller and any Primary Servicer;
provided that, the Master Servicer shall make the applicable Inspection Reports
available to the Trustee, the Operating Adviser and the Special Servicer in a
downloadable format on the Master Servicer's internet website. The Special
Servicer shall have the right to inspect or cause to be inspected (at its own
expense) every calendar year any Mortgaged Property related to a Mortgage Loan
that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, provided that the Special
Servicer notifies the Master Servicer prior to such inspection and provides the
Master Servicer with a copy of such inspection promptly following its
completion. If the Special Servicer inspects, or causes to be inspected, any
Mortgaged Property for a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence within the
-197-
prior twelve (12) months and the Master Servicer has no actual knowledge of any
material change in the condition of the related Mortgaged Property since the
date of the related inspection, the Master Servicer shall not be required to
inspect such Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section 8.17 for a period of up
to twelve (12) months after the date of such inspection by the Special Servicer.
SECTION 8.18 MODIFICATIONS, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS, EXTENSIONS AND
CONSENTS. Subject to the limitations of Section 12.3 hereof, the Master Servicer
shall have the following powers:
(a) (i) The Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing
Standard may agree to any modification, waiver, amendment or consent of or
relating to any term other than a Money Term of a Mortgage Loan, a Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan or a B Note that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan (such terms to include, without limitation, Master Servicer Consent Matters
set forth in Section 8.3(a) hereof), provided that such amendment would not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event; and
provided, further that if any consent relates to a release of a letter of credit
relating to any Mortgage Loan (other than letters of credit or portions thereof
released upon satisfaction of conditions specified in the related agreements),
then (i) the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer of any
Mortgagor's request to release such letter of credit which the Master Servicer
recommends to release, and (ii) if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan do not
require the Master Servicer to approve such release, then the Special Servicer
shall within five Business Days provide notice to the Master Servicer as to
whether the Master Servicer should approve the release (and the failure of the
Special Servicer to give the Master Servicer such notice shall automatically be
deemed to be an approval by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer should
grant such release). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Master
Servicer recommends approval of such modification, waiver, amendment or consent
which is not a Master Servicer Consent Matter (including, without limitation,
any waiver of any requirement that the Mortgagor post additional reserves or a
letter of credit upon the failure of the Mortgagor to satisfy conditions
specified in the Mortgage Loan documents), the Master Servicer shall provide to
the Special Servicer a copy of the Master Servicer's recommendation and the
relevant information obtained or prepared by the Master Servicer in connection
therewith; provided, that (A) the Special Servicer shall have the right
hereunder to grant or withhold consent to any such proposed modification,
waiver, amendment or consent, and such consent of the Special Servicer shall not
be unreasonably withheld, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (B) failure of
the Special Servicer to notify the Master Servicer, within five Business Days
following the Master Servicer's delivery of the recommendation described above,
of its determination to grant or withhold such consent shall be deemed to
constitute a grant of such consent and (C) the Master Servicer shall not enter
into any such proposed modification, waiver, amendment or consent unless it has
received the written consent of the Special Servicer or such consent has been
deemed to have been granted as set forth above. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain
or request the consent of the Special Servicer in connection with any
modification, waiver or amendment, or granting its consent to transactions,
under one or more of the Mortgage Loans that in each case the Master Servicer
has determined (in accordance with the Servicing Standard) is immaterial. In any
event, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Special Servicer of any
material modification, waiver, amendment or consent executed by the Master
Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.18(a)(i) and provide to the Special Servicer
a copy thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.18,
if the Mortgage
-198-
Loan documents require a Mortgagor to pay a fee for an assumption, modification,
waiver, amendment or consent that would be due or partially due to the Special
Servicer, then the Master Servicer shall not waive the portion of such fee due
to the Special Servicer without the Special Servicer's approval.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer acknowledges
that the Master Servicer has delegated certain tasks, rights and obligations to
any Primary Servicer with respects to Post Closing Requests (as defined in the
applicable Primary Servicing Agreement) pursuant to Section 8.4 of this
Agreement. The applicable Primary Servicing Agreement classifies certain Post
Closing Requests as Category 1 Requests and grants any Primary Servicer certain
authority to evaluate and process such requests in accordance with this
Agreement, the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement and applicable Mortgage
Loan documents.
With respect to a Category 1 Request that involves a condition, term
or provision that requires, or specifies a standard of, consent or approval of
the applicable Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan documents, the applicable
Primary Servicing Agreement provides for determination of materiality of such
condition, term or provision requiring approval or consent by the Master
Servicer or any Primary Servicer and the referral of such condition, term or
provision to the Special Servicer for consent in accordance with the terms of
the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement upon a determination of materiality.
The Special Servicer acknowledges such provisions. Nothing in this Agreement,
however, shall grant any Primary Servicer greater authority, discretion or
delegated rights over Post Closing Requests than are set forth in the applicable
Primary Servicing Agreement.
(ii) The Master Servicer may, without the consent of the Special
Servicer, extend the maturity date of any Balloon Mortgage Loan that is not a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to a date that is not more than 60 days
following the original Maturity Date, if in the Master Servicer's sole judgment
exercised in good faith (and evidenced by an Officer's Certificate), a default
in the payment of the Balloon Payment is reasonably foreseeable and such
extension is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to the Holders and
the holders of the related B Note and Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan (as a
collective whole) on a net present value basis than liquidation of such Mortgage
Loan and the Mortgagor has obtained an executed written commitment (subject only
to satisfaction of conditions set forth therein) for refinancing of the Mortgage
Loan or purchase of the related Mortgaged Property. The Master Servicer shall
process all such extensions and shall be entitled to (as additional servicing
compensation) 100% of any extension fees collected from a Mortgagor with respect
to any such extension. The Master Servicer shall extend the maturity date of any
Extendable Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan
documents if the applicable borrower exercises any Extension Option. The Master
Servicer shall not be entitled (as additional servicing compensation) to any
Extension Fees or any Extension Term Prepayment Premiums that may be payable by
a borrower in connection with any Extendable Mortgage Loan.
(b) The Master Servicer may require, in its discretion (unless
prohibited or otherwise provided in the Mortgage Loan documents), as a condition
to granting any request by a Mortgagor for any consent, modification, waiver,
amendment or collateral release, that such Mortgagor pay to the Master Servicer
a reasonable and customary modification fee to the extent permitted by law;
provided that the collection of such fee shall not be permitted if collection of
such fee would cause a "significant modification" (within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation
-199-
Section 1.860G-2(b)) of the Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall be entitled
to (as additional servicing compensation) 100% of any Modification Fees
collected from a Mortgagor in connection with a consent, waiver, modification or
amendment of a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan executed or granted pursuant
to Section 8.3 or this Section 8.18. The Master Servicer may charge the
Mortgagor for any costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and rating
agency fees) incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (and any
amounts incurred by the Special Servicer shall be reimbursed to the Special
Servicer) in connection with any request for a modification, waiver or
amendment. The Master Servicer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts in
accordance with the Servicing Standard to collect such costs, expenses and fees
from the Mortgagor, provided that the failure or inability of the Mortgagor to
pay any such costs and expenses shall not impair the right of the Master
Servicer to cause such costs and expenses (but not including any modification
fee), and interest thereon at the Advance Rate, to be paid or reimbursed by the
Trust as a Servicing Advance (to the extent not paid by the Mortgagor). If the
Master Servicer believes that the costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
to be incurred by the Master Servicer in connection with any request for a
modification, waiver or amendment will result in a payment or reimbursement by
the Trust, then the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer.
(c) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Operating
Adviser and the Special Servicer of any modification, waiver or amendment of any
term of any Mortgage Loan permitted by it under this Section and the date
thereof, and shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the related Mortgage
File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification,
waiver or amendment, promptly following the execution thereof except to the
extent such documents have been submitted to the applicable recording office, in
which event the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver copies of such documents
to the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver,
or amendment of any Money Term of a Mortgage Loan or any term of a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall notify the holder of the B
Note and the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan of any modification of the monthly
payments of an A/B Mortgage Loan or a Loan Pair, as the case may be, and such
monthly payments shall be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor
Agreement or Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable (or with respect
to a Joint Mortgage Loan treated as a Loan Pair in accordance with Section 8.31
hereof, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents).
(d) If the Mortgage Loan documents relating to a Mortgage Loan
provide for certain conditions to be satisfied prior to the Master Servicer
releasing additional collateral for the Mortgage Loan (e.g., the release,
reduction or termination of reserves or letters of credit or the establishment
of reserves), then the Master Servicer shall be permitted to waive any such
condition without obtaining the consent of the Special Servicer, provided that
(1) the aggregate amount of the related releases or establishments is no greater
than the smaller of 10% of the outstanding unpaid Principal Balance or $75,000
or (2) the condition to be waived is deemed to be non-material in accordance
with the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the Special
Servicer's consent or except as provided in the specific Mortgage Loan
documents, the Master Servicer shall not waive: (1) a requirement for any such
additional collateral to exist, or (2) a lock box requirement.
(e) Neither the Master Servicer nor any Primary Servicer will be
required to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with this
Agreement unless the terms of this
-200-
Agreement specifically requires the Master Servicer to do so, and if so required
by the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and any Primary Servicer
shall not be permitted to waive (i) the Rating Agency Confirmation requirement
or (ii) the obligation of a Mortgagor to pay all or any portion of any fee
payable in connection with obtaining the Rating Agency Confirmation.
(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.18, with
respect to any matters related to The Pier at Caesars Mortgage Loan and the
Tower 17 Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall at all times be deemed to be
the "Master Servicer" for purposes of this Section 8.18 and the Special Servicer
shall be entitled (as additional Special Servicer Compensation) to any and all
fees that would otherwise have been payable to the Master Servicer under this
Section 8.18.
SECTION 8.19 SPECIALLY SERVICED MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) The Master Servicer shall send a written notice to the Special
Servicer, the Operating Adviser, the Trustee and solely as it relates to any A/B
Mortgage Loan, to the holder of the related B Note in accordance with the terms
of the related Intercreditor Agreement and solely as it relates to any Loan
Pair, to the holder of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the terms of the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement,
within two Business Days after becoming aware of a Servicing Transfer Event with
respect to a Mortgage Loan, which notice shall identify the related Mortgage
Loan and set forth in reasonable detail the nature and relevant facts of such
Servicing Transfer Event and whether such Mortgage Loan is covered by an
Environmental Insurance Policy (and for purposes of stating whether such
Mortgage Loan is covered by an Environmental Insurance Policy the Master
Servicer may rely on Schedule X attached hereto). The Master Servicer shall
deliver a copy of the Servicing File for the related Mortgage Loan to the
Special Servicer and solely as it relates to any A/B Mortgage Loan, to the
holder of the related B Note in accordance with the terms of the related
Intercreditor Agreement and solely as it relates to any Loan Pair, to the holder
of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of
the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement, within five Business Days after
becoming aware of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
The Special Servicer shall not be liable for its failure to deliver the notice
set forth in Section 9.36(a) if such failure is caused by its failure to receive
the written notice set forth above.
(b) Concurrently with the transfer of the servicing of any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer
shall notify the related Mortgagor of such transfer in accordance with the
Servicing Standard (the form and substance of such notice shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Special Servicer).
(c) Any calculations or reports prepared by the Master Servicer to
the extent they relate to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans shall be based on
information supplied to the Master Servicer in writing by the Special Servicer
as provided hereby. The Master Servicer shall have no duty to investigate or
confirm the accuracy of any information provided to it by the Special Servicer
and shall have no liability for the inaccuracy of any of its reports due to the
inaccuracy of the information provided by the Special Servicer.
(d) On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer
shall provide to the Special Servicer, in order for the Special Servicer to
comply with its obligations under this
-201-
Agreement, such information (and in the form and medium) as the Special Servicer
may reasonably request in writing from time to time, provided that (i) the
Master Servicer shall not be required to produce any ad hoc reports or incur any
unusual expense or effort in connection therewith and (ii) if the Master
Servicer elects to provide such ad hoc reports, it may require the Special
Servicer to pay a reasonable fee to cover the costs of the preparation thereof.
SECTION 8.20 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE
MASTER SERVICER.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to and
covenants with the Trustee and the Paying Agent, as of the date hereof:
(i) the Master Servicer is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing as a national banking association under the laws
of the United States, and shall be and thereafter remain, in compliance with the
laws of each State in which any Mortgaged Property is located to the extent
necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, except where the
failure to so qualify or comply would not adversely affect the Master Servicer's
ability to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement;
(ii) the Master Servicer has the full power and authority
to execute, deliver, perform, and to enter into and consummate all transactions
and obligations contemplated by this Agreement. The Master Servicer has duly and
validly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Master Servicer; and
this Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof
by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Special Servicer,
evidences the valid and binding obligation of the Master Servicer enforceable
against the Master Servicer in accordance with its terms subject, as to
enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
moratorium, receivership and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally as from time to time in effect, and to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law);
(iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the fulfillment of or
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not (1) result
in a breach of any term or provision of its charter or by-laws or (2) conflict
with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default
under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a
party or by which it may be bound, or any law, governmental rule, regulation, or
judgment, decree or order applicable to it of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, which
materially and adversely affects its ability to perform its obligations under
this Agreement;
(iv) no litigation is pending or, to the Master Servicer's
knowledge, threatened, against it, that would materially and adversely affect
the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or its ability to
service the Mortgage Loans or to perform any of its other obligations hereunder
in accordance with the terms hereof;
(v) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any
court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by it of, or
-202-
compliance by it with, this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is
required, it has obtained the same or will obtain the same prior to the time
necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and, except to the
extent in the case of performance, that its failure to be qualified as a foreign
corporation or licensed in one or more states is not necessary for the
performance by it of its obligations hereunder; and
(vi) the performance of the services by the Master Servicer
contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the
Master Servicer and the Master Servicer possesses all licenses, permits and
other authorizations necessary to perform its duties hereunder.
(b) It is understood that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 8.20 shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement.
(c) Any cause of action against the Master Servicer arising out of
the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall
accrue upon the giving of written notice to the Master Servicer by any of the
Trustee or the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall give prompt notice to
the Trustee, the Depositor, any Primary Servicer and the Special Servicer of the
occurrence, or the failure to occur, of any event that, with notice or the
passage of time or both, would cause any representation or warranty in this
Section to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect.
SECTION 8.21 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. Any Person into which the
Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion, consolidation or other change in form to which the Master
Servicer shall be a party (but not the surviving entity), or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that each of the
Rating Agencies provides a Rating Agency Confirmation (including with respect to
any securities rated by a Rating Agency evidencing direct beneficial ownership
interests in any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note). If a transaction
described in the preceding sentence occurs and (i) the conditions to the
provisions in such sentence are not met, the Trustee may terminate, or (ii) the
conditions set forth in the following paragraph are not met, the Trustee shall
terminate, the successor's, survivor's or resulting entity's servicing of the
Mortgage Loans pursuant hereto, such termination to be effected in the manner
set forth in Sections 8.28 and 8.29.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as (but only for so long as)
the Trust, and, with respect to any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, the trust
in the related Other Securitization, are subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act, Master Servicer may not remain the Master Servicer under
this Agreement after (x) being merged or consolidated with or into any
Prohibited Party, or (y) transferring all or substantially all of its assets to
any Prohibited Party, unless (i) the Master Servicer is the surviving entity of
such merger, consolidation or transfer or (ii) the Depositor consents to such
merger, consolidation or transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld (and if, within 45 days following the date of delivery of a notice by
the Master Servicer to the Depositor of any merger or similar transaction
described in the preceding paragraph, the Depositor shall have failed to notify
the Master
-203-
Servicer of the Depositor's determination to grant or withhold such consent,
such failure shall be deemed to constitute a grant of such consent).
SECTION 8.22 RESIGNATION OF MASTER SERVICER.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.22(b) hereof, the
Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it unless it determines that the Master Servicer's duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No
such resignation shall become effective until a successor servicer designated by
the Trustee, with the consent of the Depositor and the Paying Agent, shall have
assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement and Rating Agency Confirmation (including with respect to any
securities rated by a Rating Agency evidencing interests in the A Notes and any
B Note) shall have been obtained. Notice of such resignation shall be given
promptly by the Master Servicer to the Trustee. The Master Servicer bears all
costs associated with its resignation and the transfer of servicing under this
Section 8.22(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer shall
cease to serve as such in accordance with this Section 8.22(a) and a successor
servicer shall not have been engaged, the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee
shall assume the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement. If the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee assumes the duties and
obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.22(a), the Trustee
or such agent shall be permitted to resign as master servicer if it has been
replaced by a successor servicer satisfying the criteria in the fourth preceding
sentence above.
(b) The Master Servicer may resign from the obligations and duties
imposed on it, upon 30 days notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, provided
that (i) a successor servicer (w) is available, (x) is willing to assume the
obligations, responsibilities, and covenants to be performed hereunder by the
Master Servicer on substantially the same terms and conditions, and for not more
than equivalent compensation to that herein provided and (y) assumes all
obligations under the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement; (ii) the Master
Servicer bears all costs associated with its resignation and the transfer of
servicing; and (iii) Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained with respect to such
servicing transfer, as evidenced by a letter delivered to the Trustee by each
Rating Agency.

SECTION 8.23 ASSIGNMENT OR DELEGATION OF DUTIES BY MASTER SERVICER.
The Master Servicer shall have the right without the prior written consent of
the Trustee to (A) delegate or subcontract with or authorize or appoint anyone,
or delegate certain duties to other professionals such as attorneys and
appraisers, as an agent of the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 8.4) to
perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and
carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder or (B) assign and delegate all of
its duties hereunder; provided, however, that with respect to clause (B), (i)
the Master Servicer gives the Depositor, the Special Servicer, any Primary
Servicer, the holder of the B Note (only if such assignment/delegation relates
to the related A/B Mortgage Loan), the holder of the Serviced Companion Mortgage
Loan (only if such assignment/delegation relates to the related Loan Pair) and
the Trustee notice of such assignment and delegation; (ii) such purchaser or
transferee accepting such assignment and delegation executes and delivers to the
Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such assignment, which contains
an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities,
obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer, with like effect as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement and the applicable Primary
Servicing Agreement; (iii) such assignment and delegation is the subject of a
Rating Agency Confirmation; and (iv) the Depositor consents to such assignment
and delegation, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In the case of any
such assignment and delegation in accordance with the requirements of subclause
(B) of this Section, the Master Servicer shall be released from its obligations
under this Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall remain liable for
all liabilities and obligations incurred by it as the Master Servicer hereunder
prior to the satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment set forth in the
preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer may appoint a
Primary Servicer and Sub-Servicers in accordance with Section 8.4 hereof.
SECTION 8.24 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE MASTER SERVICER AND
OTHERS.
(a) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any
liability to the holders of the Certificates, the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent, the Placement Agent, the Underwriters, the holder of any Serviced
Companion Mortgage Loan, the holder of any B Note or the Special Servicer for
any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith,
or using reasonable business judgment, consistent with the Servicing Standard;
provided that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such
person against any breach of a representation or warranty contained herein or
any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in its performance of duties under the Agreement or by
reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Master
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may
rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person (including, without limitation, the Special Servicer)
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall not be under
any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not
incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion
undertake any such action which it may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in
order to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the Trustee in the
Mortgage Loans, the interests of the holder of any B Note or the interests of
the holder of any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan (subject to the Special
Servicer's servicing of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as contemplated
herein), or shall undertake any such action if instructed to do so by the
Trustee. In such event, all legal
-205-
expenses and costs of such action shall be expenses and costs of the Trust, and
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor as Servicing
Advances as provided by Section 5.2, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4
hereof.
(b) In addition, the Master Servicer shall have no liability with
respect to, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Master Servicer and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement. Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall
have the right to rely on information provided to it by the Special Servicer and
Mortgagors, and will have no duty to investigate or verify the accuracy thereof.
Neither the Master Servicer, nor any director, officer, employee, agent or
Affiliate, shall be personally liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by any officer, unless it shall be proved that the Master Servicer or such
officer was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. Neither the Master
Servicer nor any director, officer, employee, agent or Affiliate, shall be
personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith
and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Agreement.
(c) The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to incur any
liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which relate to or arise
from any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the
Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Trustee in this
Agreement. The Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer from
any and all claims, liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which
relate to or arise from any such breach of representation, warranty or covenant
to the extent the Master Servicer is unable to recover such amounts from the
Person in breach.
(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein:
(i) the Master Servicer may rely, and shall be protected
in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer's certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, financial statement,
agreement, appraisal, bond or other document (in electronic or paper format)
reasonably believed or in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) the Master Servicer may consult with counsel, and any
written advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of
Counsel;
(iii) the Master Servicer shall not be personally liable
for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it
to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Agreement; and
(iv) the Master Servicer, in preparing any reports
hereunder, may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon any information (financial or other), statement, certificate, document,
agreement, covenant, notice, request or other paper reasonably believed by it to
be genuine and provided by any Mortgagor or manager of a Mortgaged Property.
-206-
(e) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trustee, the Paying
Agent and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and held harmless against
any loss, liability or expense including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to the Trustee's, the Paying Agent's
or the Special Servicer's, as the case may be, respective willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of its respective duties hereunder or
by reason of negligent disregard of its respective duties hereunder, other than
any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Master Servicer's duties
hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of the Master Servicer's
obligations and duties hereunder. The Master Servicer shall immediately notify
the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Special Servicer if a claim is made by a
third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the
Master Servicer to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, or the Special Servicer, in each case, to the extent the claim is related
to its respective willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, may assume the
defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Master
Servicer) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees,
and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be
entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify
the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Special Servicer shall not affect any
rights that the Master Servicer may have to indemnification under this Agreement
or otherwise, unless the Trustee's, the Paying Agent's or the Special Servicer's
defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. Such indemnity shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the
Master Servicer hereunder. Any payment hereunder made by the Trustee, the Paying
Agent or the Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph to the Master Servicer
shall be paid from the Trustee's, the Paying Agent's or Special Servicer's own
funds, without reimbursement from the Trust therefor except to the extent
achieved through subrogation as provided in this Agreement. Any expenses
incurred or indemnification payments made by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or
the Special Servicer shall be reimbursed by the party so paid, if a court of
competent jurisdiction makes a final judgment that the conduct of the Trustee,
the Paying Agent or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, was (x) not
culpable or (y) found to not have acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence.
SECTION 8.25 INDEMNIFICATION; THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS.
(a) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Master Servicer (the "Master Servicer Indemnified Parties") shall
be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust out of collections on, and other
proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans and any B
Notes, as provided in the following paragraph, against any and all claims,
losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments
and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (collectively, "Master
Servicer Losses") incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this
Agreement, any Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans, any B
Notes, any REO Property or the Certificates or any exercise of any right under
this Agreement reasonably requiring the use of counsel or the incurring of
expenses other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the
Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder.
Except as provided in the following sentence, indemnification for
Master Servicer Losses described in the preceding paragraph (including in the
case of such Master Servicer
-207-
Losses that relate primarily to the administration of the Trust, to any REMIC
Pool or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any
tax under the REMIC provisions of the Code or the actual payment of any REMIC
tax or expense) shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the
Mortgage Loans as a whole but not out of collections on, or other proceeds of,
any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or any B Note. In the case of any such
Master Servicer Losses that do not relate primarily to the administration of the
Trust, to any REMIC Pool or to any determination respecting the amount, payment
or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC provisions of the Code or the actual
payment of any REMIC tax or expense:
(1) if such Master Servicer Losses relate to a Loan Pair, then
such indemnification shall be paid (x) first, out of collections on, and other
proceeds of, such Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan, in the relative proportions provided for in the applicable Loan
Pair Intercreditor Agreement and (y) if the collections and proceeds described
in subclause (x) of this clause (1) are not sufficient to so indemnify the
Master Servicer Indemnified Parties on a current basis, then the balance of such
indemnification shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the
Mortgage Loans as a whole; and
(2) if such Master Servicer Losses relate to any A/B Mortgage
Loan, then such indemnification shall be paid (x) first, if and to the extent
permitted under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, out of collections on,
and other proceeds of, the B Note or B Notes related to such A/B Mortgage Loan,
(y) if the collections and proceeds described in subclause (x) of this clause
(2) are not sufficient to so indemnify the Master Servicer Indemnified Parties
on a current basis, then the balance of such indemnification shall be paid out
of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan
and the Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, in the relative proportions provided
for in the related Loan Pair Intercreditor Agreement and (z) if the aggregate
collections and proceeds described in subclauses (x) and (y) of this clause (2)
are not sufficient to so indemnify the Master Servicer Indemnified Parties on a
current basis, then the balance of such indemnification shall be paid out of
collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans as a whole.
The Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer) and out of the Trust pay
all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and out of the
Trust promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be
entered against it or them in respect of such claim. The indemnification
provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The Trustee,
the Paying Agent or the Master Servicer shall promptly make from the Certificate
Account (and, if and to the extent that the amount due shall be paid from
collections on, and other proceeds of, any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or
any B Note, as set forth above, out of the related Serviced Companion Mortgage
Loan Custodial Account or the related A/B Loan Custodial Account) any payments
certified by the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the Paying Agent as required
to be made to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.25.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the
Special Servicer, the Trust, the Depositor, the Paying Agent, and any director,
officer, employee, agent or Controlling Person thereof, and hold them harmless
against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees
and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and
expenses that the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Paying Agent
and the Trust
-208-
may sustain arising from or as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of any of the Master Servicer's duties hereunder
or by reason of negligent disregard of the Master Servicer's obligations and
duties hereunder (including a breach of such obligations a substantial motive of
which is to obtain an economic advantage from being released from such
obligations), and if in any such situation the Master Servicer is replaced, the
parties hereto agree that the amount of such claims, losses, penalties, fines,
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and
expenses shall at least equal the incremental costs, if any, of retaining a
successor servicer. The Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or the
Depositor, as applicable, shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a
claim is made by any Person with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans
entitling the Trustee, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or
the Trust to indemnification under this Section 8.25(b), whereupon the Master
Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or the
Depositor, as applicable) and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or
decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any
failure to so notify the Master Servicer shall not affect any rights the
Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Paying Agent or the Trust may
have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Master
Servicer's defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The
indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Paying Agent and the Trustee. Any expenses incurred or indemnification
payments made by the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed by the party so paid,
if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final, non-appealable judgment that
the conduct of the Master Servicer was not culpable or that the Master Servicer
did not act with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.
(c) Any Primary Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent thereof shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any
and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related
costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, the applicable
Primary Servicing Agreement (but only if, and to the extent that, the Master
Servicer would have been entitled to indemnification therefor under this
Agreement if it were directly servicing the Mortgage Loan), any Mortgage Loans,
any REO Property or the Certificates or any exercise of any right under this
Agreement or the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement (limited as set forth
above) reasonably requiring the use of counsel or the incurring of expenses
other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of any Primary
Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
duties thereunder. The applicable Primary Servicer shall assume the defense of
any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Primary
Servicer) and out of the Trust pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, and out of the Trust promptly pay, discharge and satisfy
any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of
such claim. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement. The Trustee, the
Paying Agent or the Master Servicer shall promptly make from the Certificate
Account any payments certified by the applicable Primary Servicer to the Trustee
and the Paying Agent as required to be made to the applicable Primary Servicer
pursuant to this Section 8.25.

(d) Any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master
Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against the Trust's
pro rata share of any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees
and expenses incurred in connection with any legal action relating to any
Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement
and relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (but excluding any such losses
allocable to the related Non-Serviced Companion Mortgage Loans), reasonably
requiring the use of counsel or the incurring of expenses other than any losses
incurred by reason of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer's willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties under the
related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(e) Any Primary Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the
Special Servicer, the Trust, the Depositor, the Paying Agent, and any director,
officer, employee, agent or Controlling Person thereof, and hold them harmless
against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees
and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and
expenses that the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Paying Agent
and the Trust may sustain arising from or as a result of the willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the applicable
Primary Servicer's duties under this Agreement, the applicable Primary Servicing
Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard of the applicable Primary
Servicer's obligations and duties thereunder (including a breach of such
obligations a substantial motive of which is to obtain an economic advantage
from being released from such obligations), and if in any such situation the
applicable Primary Servicer is replaced, the parties hereto agree that the
amount of such claims, losses, penalties, fines, legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses shall at least equal
the incremental costs, if any, of retaining a successor primary servicer. The
Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Depositor, as applicable,
shall immediately notify the applicable Primary Servicer if a claim is made by
any Person with respect to this Agreement, the applicable Primary Servicing
Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Trust to indemnification under this
Section 8.25(d), whereupon the applicable Primary Servicer shall assume the
defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee,
the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Depositor, as applicable) and pay
all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or
them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the applicable Primary
Servicer shall not affect any rights the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the
Depositor, the Paying Agent or the Trust may have to indemnification under this
Agreement, the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement or otherwise, unless the
applicable Primary Servicer's defense of such claim is materially prejudiced
thereby. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement and the
resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Paying Agent and the Trustee. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments
made by the applicable Primary Servicer shall be reimbursed by the party so
paid, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final, non-appealable
judgment that the conduct of the applicable Primary Servicer was not culpable or
that the applicable Primary Servicer did not act with willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence.
-210-
SECTION 8.26 RESERVED.
SECTION 8.27 COMPLIANCE WITH REMIC PROVISIONS AND GRANTOR TRUST
PROVISIONS. The Master Servicer shall act in accordance with this Agreement and
the REMIC Provisions and related provisions of the Code in order to create or
maintain the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC and the Class P Grantor Trust
created hereby as a grantor trust under the Code. The Master Servicer shall not
(A) take any action or cause any REMIC Pool to take any action that could (i)
endanger the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC under the Code or (ii) result
in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC Pool (including, but not limited to,
the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) or on
prohibited contributions pursuant to Section 860G(d)) or (B) take any action or
cause the Class P Grantor Trust to take any action that could (i) endanger its
status as a grantor trust or (ii) result in the imposition of any tax upon the
Class P Grantor Trust unless the Trustee shall have received a
Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such
action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status
or result in the imposition of such tax. The Master Servicer shall comply with
the provisions of Article XII hereof.
SECTION 8.28 TERMINATION. The obligations and responsibilities of
the Master Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Master
Servicer to make payments to the Paying Agent as set forth in Section 8.29 and
the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Special Servicer and the Trust) shall terminate (i) on the date which is the
later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining outstanding (and final distribution to the Certificateholders) or (B)
the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution to the
Certificateholders), (ii) if an Event of Default described in clauses
8.28(a)(iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (x), (xi) or (xii) has occurred, 60 days
following the date on which the Trustee or Depositor gives written notice to the
Master Servicer that the Master Servicer is terminated or (iii) if an Event of
Default described in clauses 8.28(a)(i), (ii), (vii), (viii) or (ix) has
occurred, immediately upon the date on which the Trustee or the Depositor gives
written notice to the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer is terminated.
After any Event of Default (but subject, in the case of Section 8.28(a)(xii), to
the waiver right of the Depositor described therein), the Trustee (i) may elect
to terminate the Master Servicer by providing such notice, and (ii) shall
provide such notice if holders of Certificates representing more than 25% of the
Aggregate Certificate Balance of all Certificates so direct the Trustee.
(a) "Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the
Paying Agent or otherwise make any payment required to be remitted by the Master
Servicer under the terms of this Agreement, including any required Advances;
provided that, if a payment is required to be remitted by the Master Servicer to
the Paying Agent on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the failure to remit
that payment to the Paying Agent shall only be an "Event of Default" under this
clause (i)(a) if that payment has not been remitted to the Paying Agent prior to
10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date; or
(ii) any failure by the Master Servicer to make a required
deposit to the Certificate Account which continues unremedied for one Business
Day following the date on which such deposit was first required to be made; or
-211-
(iii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly
to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the duties, covenants
or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement
(other than, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act, the duties, covenants or agreements set forth in Article
XIII to the extent described in Section 8.28(a)(xi)) which continues unremedied
for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer
by the Depositor or the Trustee; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer
certifies to the Trustee and the Depositor that the Master Servicer is in good
faith attempting to remedy such failure, such cure period will be extended to
the extent necessary to permit the Master Servicer to cure such failure;
provided, further that such cure period may not exceed 90 days; or
(iv) any breach of the representations and warranties
contained in Section 8.20 hereof that materially and adversely affects the
interest of any holder of any Class of Certificates and that continues
unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which notice of such
breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master
Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee, provided, however, that if the Master
Servicer certifies to the Trustee and the Depositor that the Master Servicer is
in good faith attempting to remedy such breach, such cure period will be
extended to the extent necessary to permit the Master Servicer to cure such
breach; provided, further that such cure period may not exceed 90 days; or
(v) the Trustee shall receive notice from Fitch to the
effect that the continuation of the Master Servicer in such capacity would
result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned
by Fitch to any Class of Certificates; or
(vi) the Master Servicer has been downgraded to a servicer
rating level below "CMS3" (or its equivalent) by Fitch; or
(vii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any
present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the
appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official
in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its
affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or
order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60
days; or
(viii) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment
of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any
bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of
or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(ix) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of any applicable 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;
-212-
(x) the Master Servicer is removed from S&P's Select
Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Master Servicer and is not
reinstated within 60 days;
(xi) subject to Section 13.8, the Master Servicer or any
Additional Servicer or Sub-Servicer appointed by such Master Servicer (other
than any Additional Servicer that is a Seller Sub-Servicer) shall fail to
deliver any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered by such
servicer under Article XIII of this Agreement at the times required under such
Article; or
(xii) the Master Servicer shall fail to terminate any
Sub-Servicer that is a Reporting Servicer subject to and in accordance with
Section 8.4(c); provided that the Depositor may waive any such Event of Default
under this clause (xii) in its sole discretion without the consent of the
Trustee or any Certificateholders.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Event of Default of the
Master Servicer occurs primarily by reason of the occurrence of a "Primary
Servicing Default" (as hereinafter defined) (that is, it would not have occurred
but for (a) the occurrence of such Primary Servicing Default and (b) the Master
Servicer failure to cause the cure of such event) and the Trustee (or the
Trustee at the direction of the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 8.28
hereof) elects to terminate the Master Servicer, then the initial Master
Servicer shall have the right to elect that the successor master servicer, upon
its succession, enter into a primary servicing or sub-servicing agreement with
the initial Master Servicer with respect to all Mortgage Loans as to which that
Primary Servicing Default occurred, so long as the initial Master Servicer is on
the approved list of commercial mortgage loan servicers maintained by S&P and so
long as the initial Master Servicer has a commercial loan master servicer rating
of at least "CMS3" (or its equivalent) by Fitch or a commercial loan primary
servicer rating of at least "CPS3" (or its equivalent) by Fitch, and such
agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such
successor master servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Special Servicer and
the Operating Adviser (but as if the initial Master Servicer were the Primary
Servicer or Sub-Servicer thereunder and with applicable servicing fees as
specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule). For purposes of the preceding
sentence, a "Primary Servicing Default" means an "event of default" of a Primary
Servicer under a Primary Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer is
terminated based upon an Event of Default set forth in clause (v), (vi) or (x)
of Section 8.28(a), then the Master Servicer shall have the right to enter into
a sub-servicing agreement or primary servicing agreement with the applicable
successor master servicer with respect to all applicable Mortgage Loans that are
not then subject to a sub-servicing agreement or Primary Servicing Agreement, so
long as the terminated Master Servicer is on the S&P Select Servicer List as a
U.S. Commercial Mortgage Servicer and the Operating Adviser has consented to
such primary servicing or sub-servicing arrangement.
(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 8.28, (A)
if any Event of Default on the part of the Master Servicer occurs that affects a
Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or (B) for so long as any Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan is serviced hereunder and is included in a securitization that is
rated by Xxxxx'x, if (x) the Trustee shall receive notice from Xxxxx'x to the
effect that the continuation of the Master Servicer in such capacity would
result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned
by Xxxxx'x to any class of certificates issued in such securitization or (y)
Xxxxx'x has placed one or more Classes of Certificates on "watch status" in
contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal (and such
-213-
"watch status" placement shall not have been withdrawn by Xxxxx'x within 60 days
of the date that the Trustee obtained such actual knowledge) and, in the case of
either of clauses (x) or (y), citing servicing concerns with the Master Servicer
as the sole or material factor in such rating action, and in either case, the
Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated in accordance with this Section
8.28, then, at the request of the holder of such affected Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall require the Master Servicer to appoint, within
30 days of the Trustee's request, a Sub-Servicer (or, if the related Mortgage
Loan is currently being sub-serviced, to replace, within 30 days of the
Trustee's request, the then-current Sub-Servicer with a new Sub-Servicer) with
respect to the related Mortgage Loan only, but as to no other Mortgage Loan. In
connection with the Master Servicer's appointment of a Sub-Servicer at the
request of the Trustee in accordance with this Section 8.28(c), the Master
Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation (such Rating Agency
Confirmation to be an expense of the requesting Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
holder). The related Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that any Sub-Servicer
appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of the Trustee in accordance
with this Section 8.28(c) shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be
entitled to all compensation, of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with
respect to the subject Loan Pair.
SECTION 8.29 PROCEDURE UPON TERMINATION.
(a) Notice of any termination pursuant to clause (i) of the first
paragraph of Section 8.28, specifying the Master Servicer Remittance Date upon
which the final transfer by the Master Servicer to the Paying Agent shall be
made, shall be given promptly in writing by the Master Servicer to the Paying
Agent no later than the later of (i) five Business Days after the final payment
or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or (ii) the sixth day of the
month of such final distribution. Upon any such termination, the duties of the
Master Servicer (other than the obligation of the Master Servicer to pay to the
Paying Agent the amounts remaining in the Certificate Account as set forth below
and the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the Trust as
provided herein) shall terminate and the Master Servicer shall transfer to the
Paying Agent the amounts remaining in the Certificate Account (and any
sub-account) after making the withdrawals permitted to be made pursuant to
Section 5.2 and shall thereafter terminate the Certificate Account and any other
account or fund maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
(b) On the date specified in a written notice of termination given
to the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section
8.28, or on the date on which a written notice of termination is given to the
Master Servicer pursuant to clause (iii) of the first paragraph of Section 8.28
all authority, power and rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall terminate (except
for any rights relating to indemnification, unpaid servicing compensation or
unreimbursed Advances and related interest or, if the terminated Master Servicer
is Wachovia Bank, National Association, its rights to the Excess Servicing Fee);
provided that in no event shall the termination of the Master Servicer be
effective until a successor servicer shall have succeeded the Master Servicer as
successor servicer, subject to approval by the Rating Agencies, notified the
Master Servicer of such designation and such successor servicer shall have
assumed the Master Servicer's obligations and responsibilities hereunder and
under the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement, as set forth in an agreement
substantially in the form hereof, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and, in the
circumstances set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.28(b), entered into a
new primary servicing agreement with the predecessor Master Servicer in form
-214-
and substance reasonably satisfactory to such successor master servicer, the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Operating Adviser. Except
as provided in the next sentence, the Trustee may not succeed the Master
Servicer as servicer until and unless it has satisfied the provisions that would
apply to a Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 8.22(b) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event
that the Master Servicer is terminated as a result of an event described in
Section 8.28(a)(vii), 8.28(a)(viii) or 8.28(a)(ix), the Trustee shall act as
successor servicer immediately upon delivery of a notice of termination to the
Master Servicer and shall use commercially reasonable efforts within 90 days of
assuming the duties of the Master Servicer, either to satisfy the conditions of
Section 8.22(b) hereof or to transfer the duties of the Master Servicer to a
successor servicer who has satisfied such conditions. The Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Trustee and the Paying Agent in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including,
without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the servicing
function and providing the Trustee all documents and records in electronic or
other form reasonably requested by it to enable the successor servicer
designated by the Trustee to assume the Master Servicer's functions hereunder
and to effect the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all
amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master
Servicer in the Certificate Account and any other account or fund maintained or
thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
(c) If (i) the Master Servicer receives a written notice of
termination (A) pursuant to clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 8.28
relating solely to an Event of Default set forth in clause (v), (vi), (x) or
(xi) of Section 8.28(a) or (B) pursuant to Section 8.21 and (ii) the Master
Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate "request for proposal"
materials within five Business Days after receipt of such written notice of
termination, then the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such "request for
proposal" materials provided by the Master Servicer) solicit good faith bids for
the rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement from at least
three but no more than five Qualified Bidders or, if three Qualified Bidders
cannot be located, then from as many persons as the Trustee can determine are
Qualified Bidders. At the Trustee's request, the Master Servicer shall supply
the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids. In no
event shall the Trustee be responsible if less than three Qualified Bidders
submit bids for the right to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement.
(d) Each bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder, as a
condition of its bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer,
and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof and the terms of the applicable
Primary Servicing Agreement, not later than 30 days after termination of the
Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with
the highest cash bid (or such other Qualified Bidder as the Master Servicer may
direct) (the "Successful Bidder") to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder.
The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as
successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection
therewith to deliver the amount of the Successful Bidder's cash bid to the
Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified
by the
-215-
Trustee no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the date specified for
the assignment and assumption of the servicing rights hereunder.
(e) Upon the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights
hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder and receipt of such cash bid, the
Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Master Servicer
the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and
transferring servicing) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account specified by the terminated Master Servicer no later than 1:00 p.m. New
York City time on the date specified for the assignment and assumption of the
servicing rights hereunder.
(f) If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement
as successor Master Servicer within 30 days after the termination of the Master
Servicer hereunder or no Successful Bidder was identified within such 30-day
period, the Trustee shall have no further obligations under Section 8.29(c) and
may act or may select another successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in
accordance with Section 8.29(b).
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.29,
the successor master servicer must assume all of the obligations of the
terminated Master Servicer under the applicable Primary Servicing Agreement as a
condition precedent to its becoming Master Servicer hereunder.
(h) In the event that the Master Servicer is terminated as a
result of an event described in Section 8.28(a)(v), 8.28(a)(vi) or 8.28(a)(x),
then the Master Servicer shall have the right to enter into a sub-servicing
agreement or primary servicing agreement with the successor master servicer with
respect to all applicable Mortgage Loans that are not subject to a sub-servicing
agreement or primary servicing agreement, so long as the Master Servicer is on
the S&P Select Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Servicer and the
Operating Adviser has consented to such primary servicing or sub-servicing
arrangement.
For purposes of the foregoing provisions of Section 8.29(c), the
phrase "rights to service" shall be construed to exclude those servicing rights
and duties as to which Wachovia Bank, National Association has made an election
for the execution of a primary servicing agreement as contemplated by Section
8.28(b).
SECTION 8.30 OPERATING ADVISER CONTACT WITH MASTER SERVICER AND
SPECIAL SERVICER. No less often than on a monthly basis or as agreed upon by the
Master Servicer and the Operating Adviser, each of the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a Servicing Officer available to
answer questions from the Operating Adviser regarding the performance and
servicing of the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible. The
applicable Primary Servicer shall make a Servicing Officer available on any such
call to answer questions from the Operating Adviser regarding the Mortgage Loans
and/or REO Properties that it services.
SECTION 8.31 CERTAIN MATTERS WITH RESPECT TO JOINT MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) If a Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan (a "Repurchasing Seller")
repurchases its respective Mortgage Note(s) (as such term is defined herein) (a
"Repurchased Note"), the
-216-
provisions of this Section 8.31 shall apply prior to the adoption, pursuant to
Section 14.3(l), of any amendment to this Agreement that provides otherwise.
Each of the Sellers of the Joint Mortgage Loans has agreed to the terms set
forth in this Section 8.31 and in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement with respect to the servicing and administration of each of the Joint
Mortgage Loans, in the event of a repurchase of one Mortgage Note with respect
to any Joint Mortgage Loans unless and until such time as both Mortgage Notes
related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan are repurchased or are otherwise
no longer part of the Trust. For purposes of this Section 8.31, Section 14.3(l)
and Section 14.9 only, "Mortgage Note" shall mean with respect to any Joint
Mortgage Loan, each original promissory note that collectively represents the
Mortgage Note (as defined in Article I) with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan
and shall not be a collective reference to such promissory notes.
(b) Custody of and record title under the Mortgage Loan documents
with respect to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan shall be held exclusively by
the Trustee as provided under this Agreement, except that the Repurchasing
Seller shall hold and retain title to its original Repurchased Note and any
related endorsements thereof.
(i) Payments from the related Mortgagor or any other
amounts received with respect to each Mortgage Note shall be collected as
provided in this Agreement by the Master Servicer (or any Primary Servicer on
behalf of the Master Servicer) and shall be applied upon receipt by the Master
Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective
Repurchased Percentage Interest (as defined herein), subject to Section
8.31(b)(ii). Payments or any other amounts received with respect to the related
Repurchased Note shall be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable
Repurchasing Seller and remitted (net of its pro rata share of any Master
Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Primary Servicing Fees and any other
amounts due to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Primary
Servicer) to the applicable Repurchasing Seller or its designee by the Master
Servicer (or any Primary Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) on each
Distribution Date pursuant to instructions provided by the applicable
Repurchasing Seller and deposited and applied in accordance with this Agreement,
subject to Section 8.31(b)(ii). If any Joint Mortgage Loan becomes an REO
Mortgage Loan, payments or any other amounts received with respect to any such
Joint Mortgage Loan shall be collected and shall be applied upon receipt by the
Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective
Repurchased Percentage Interest, subject to Section 8.31(b)(ii).
(ii) In the event that the Master Servicer (or any Primary
Servicer on behalf of Master Servicer) or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate amount due under any
such Joint Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the applicable Repurchasing
Seller shall receive from the Master Servicer (or from any Primary Servicer on
behalf of the Master Servicer) an amount equal to such Repurchasing Seller's
Repurchased Percentage Interest of such payment. All expenses, losses and
shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without
limitation, losses of principal or interest, Nonrecoverable Advances, interest
on Servicing Advances, Special Servicing Fees, Work-Out Fees and Liquidation
Fees (including any such fees related to the applicable Mortgage Notes), will be
allocated between the holders of such Mortgage Notes pro rata based on their
respective Repurchased Percentage Interests of such losses and expenses. In no
event shall any costs, expenses, fees or any other amounts related to any
Mortgage Loan or Joint Mortgage Loan other than the applicable Joint Mortgage
Loan be deducted from payments or any other amounts
-217-
received with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and payable to the applicable
Repurchasing Seller. For purposes of Section 8.31(b)(i), this Section
8.31(b)(ii) and Section 8.31(g), "Repurchased Percentage Interest" shall mean
the percentage interest of the applicable Seller in the applicable Joint
Mortgage Loan.
(iii) Each Joint Mortgage Loan shall be serviced for the
benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Seller and the Certificateholders
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the
Servicing Standard and in accordance with the provisions herein as if the
related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan. For so long as
the Joint Mortgage Loan shall be serviced by the Master Servicer, any Primary
Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the requirements of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer, any Primary Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, on behalf of the holders thereof shall administer such Joint
Mortgage Loan consistent with the terms of this Agreement as if such Joint
Mortgage Loan were a Loan Pair. No Repurchasing Seller shall be permitted to
terminate the Master Servicer (or any Primary Servicer acting on behalf of the
Master Servicer) or the Special Servicer as servicer or special servicer of the
related Repurchased Note. All rights of the mortgagee under each such Joint
Mortgage Loan will be exercised by the Master Servicer (or any Primary Servicer
on behalf of the Master Servicer) or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the
Trust to the extent of its interest therein and the applicable Repurchasing
Seller in accordance with this Agreement.
(iv) The related Repurchasing Seller shall be treated
hereunder as if it were a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan noteholder on a pari
passu basis. Funds collected by the Master Servicer (or any Primary Servicer on
behalf of the Master Servicer) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and
applied to the applicable Mortgage Notes shall be deposited and disbursed in
accordance with the provisions hereof relating to holders of such Loan Pairs
that are pari passu in right of payment. Compensation shall be paid to the
Master Servicer, any Primary Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to
each Repurchased Note as provided in this Agreement as if each such Mortgage
Note were a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan. None of the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent (if any), the Master Servicer, any Primary Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall have any obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to any
Repurchased Note or, if neither related Mortgage Note is part of the Trust, a
Servicing Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note. Except as otherwise
specified herein, the Master Servicer, any Primary Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall have no reporting requirement with respect to any Repurchased
Note other than to deliver to the related Repurchasing Seller any document as is
required to be delivered to a holder of a Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan
hereunder.
(c) If any Mortgage Note is considered a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, then any related Repurchased Note shall also be a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall cause
such related Repurchased Note to be specially serviced for the benefit of the
applicable Repurchasing Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set
