(1) "NR" indicates that the Class of Certificates has not been rated by the
applicable Rating Agency.
(2) The Pass-Through Rates for the Class XP and Class XC Certificates will be
a variable rate per annum as set forth herein.
(3) The Class XP and Class XC Certificates will not have a Class Principal
Balance and will not entitle their Holders to receive distributions of
principal. The Class XP and Class XC Certificates will have a Notional
Amount as set forth herein.
(4) The Class R-I Certificates and Class R-II Certificates do not have a Class
Principal Balance or Notional Amount, do not bear interest and will not be
entitled to distributions of Net Prepayment Consideration. Any Available
Distribution Amount remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account after
distributing the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and Net Prepayment
Consideration shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R-I
Certificates (but only to the extent of the Available Distribution Amount
for such Distribution Date, if any, remaining in the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account). Any Available Distribution Amount remaining in the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account and the Class OEA-B Sub-Account, after all
required distributions under this Agreement have been made to each other
Class of Certificates, will be distributed to the Holders of the Class
R-II Certificates.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect or will cause an election
to be made to treat the DDR Portfolio Trust Loan, Xerox Headquarters Mortgage
Loan and 1801 K Street Trust Loan (each, a "Loan REMIC Loan") (and certain other
related assets) as three separate REMICs (each, a "Loan REMIC") pursuant to the
REMIC Declaration dated March 11, 2004, the REMIC Declaration dated January 10,
2004 and the REMIC Declaration dated January 1, 2004, respectively (each, a
"Loan REMIC Declaration"). Each Loan REMIC has issued one uncertificated Class
of regular interests (the "Loan REMIC Regular Interest") to be held by the
Lower-Tier REMIC and one uncertificated Class of residual interest (the "Loan
REMIC Residual Interest"), which will be represented by the Class R-I
Certificates. As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of all of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Loan
REMIC Loans), the Loan REMIC Regular Interests and certain other related assets
subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such
segregated pool of assets will be designated as the "Lower-Tier REMIC." The
Class R-I Certificates will represent the sole class of "residual interests" in
the Lower-Tier REMIC and each Loan REMIC Residual Interest for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests as a REMIC
for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be
designated as the "Upper-Tier REMIC." The Class R-II Certificates will evidence
the sole class of "residual interests" in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of
the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law. For federal income tax
purposes, each Class of the Regular Interest Certificates will be designated as
a separate "regular interest" in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions under federal income tax law.
The portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Loan REMIC Residual
Interests, the proceeds thereof and the Grantor Trust Sub-Accounts will be
treated as a grantor trust (the "Grantor Trust") for federal income tax
purposes. The Class R-I Certificates will represent the sole interests in the
Grantor Trust for federal income tax purposes and pro rata undivided beneficial
interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Loan REMIC Residual
Interest.
The following table sets forth the Class or Component designation,
the corresponding Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest (the "Corresponding
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest"), the corresponding components of the Class
X Certificates (the "Corresponding Components"), if any, and the Original Class
Principal Balance for each Class of Principal Balance Certificates (the
"Corresponding Certificates").

(1) The Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest and the Components of the Class X
Certificates that correspond to any particular Class of Principal Balance
Certificates also correspond to each other and, accordingly, constitute
the "Corresponding Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest" and the
"Corresponding Components," respectively, with respect to each other.
The initial Loan REMIC Balance and interest rate for each Loan REMIC
Regular Interest are set forth in the related Loan REMIC Declaration. The
Initial Trust Balance will be $2,627,155,095. The initial aggregate principal
balance of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests will be $2,627,155,095.
There are fifteen Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund (as
identified in the table below) that are each part of a split loan structure, and
are each secured by the same Mortgage that also secures another mortgage loan or
loans in that split loan structure.
Each split loan structure, including all of the related notes that
are secured by the same Mortgage, is referred to herein as a "Loan Group." Each
Loan Group consists of (1) one or more "Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans," which
is the portion of the Loan Group that is included as an asset of the Trust Fund
and (2) one or more "Companion Loans," which is the portion of the Loan Group
that is not included as an asset of the Trust Fund. Each Companion Loan may be
classified as either (1) a "Pari Passu Companion Loan," which is a Companion
Loan that is pari passu in right of payment with the related Loan Group Trust
Mortgage Loan in the same Loan Group or (2) a "Subordinate Companion Loan,"
which is a Companion Loan that is subordinate in right of payment to the related
Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan in the same Loan Group. A Loan Group may contain
both Pari Passu Companion Loans and Subordinate Companion Loans. The term
"Mortgage Loan" as used in this Agreement will include the Loan Group Trust
Mortgage Loans.
The following table identifies the Loan Groups and their related

scheduled payments of interest and/or principal on such Loan) to compensate the
Holder for reinvestment losses based on the value of an interest rate index at
or near the time of prepayment. Any other prepayment premiums, penalties and
fees not so calculated will not be considered "Yield Maintenance Charges." In
the event that a Yield Maintenance Charge shall become due for any particular
Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required to follow the terms and provisions
contained in the applicable Mortgage Note, provided, however, in the event the
particular Mortgage Note shall not specify the U.S. Treasuries which shall be
used in determining the discount rate or the reinvestment yield to be applied in
such calculation, the Master Servicer shall be required to use those U.S.
Treasuries which shall generate the lowest discount rate or reinvestment yield
for the purposes thereof. Accordingly, if either no U.S. Treasury issue, or more
than one U.S. Treasury issue, shall coincide with the term over which the Yield
Maintenance Charge shall be calculated (which depending on the applicable
Mortgage Note is based on the remaining average life of the Loan or the actual
term remaining through the related Stated Maturity Date), the Master Servicer
shall use the applicable U.S. Treasury whose reinvestment yield is the lowest,
with such yield being based on the bid price for such issue as published in The
Wall Street Journal on the date that is 14 days prior to the date that the Yield
Maintenance Charge shall become due and payable (or, if such bid price is not
published on that date, the next preceding date on which such bid price is so
published) and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. The monthly
compounded nominal yield ("MEY") is derived from the reinvestment yield or
discount rate and shall be defined as MEY = (12 X [{(1+ "BEY"/2) ^1/6}-1]) X
100, where BEY is defined as the U.S. Treasury Reinvestment Yield which is in
decimal form and not in percentage, and 1/6 is the exponential power to which a
portion of the equation is raised. For example, using a BEY of 5.50%, the MEY =
(12 X [{(1+ .055/2) ^ 0.16667}- 1]) X 100 where .055 is the decimal version of
the percentage 5.5% and 0.16667 is the decimal version of the exponential power.
The MEY in the above calculation is 5.44%.

Section 1.03 Certain Adjustments to the Principal Distributions on
the Certificates.
(a) If any party hereto is reimbursed out of general collections on
the Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Pool Custodial Account for any unreimbursed
Advances that have been or are determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances
(together with interest accrued and payable thereon pursuant to Section 3.12(b)
or Section 4.03(d), as applicable, to the extent such interest was paid
hereunder from a source other than Default Charges Received by the Trust on the
Mortgage Pool), then (for purposes of calculating distributions on the
Certificates) each such reimbursement and payment of interest shall be deemed to
have been made:
(i) first, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Pool Custodial
Account that represent payments or other collections of principal Received
by the Trust with respect to the Mortgage Pool that, but for their
application to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to pay interest
thereon, would be included in the Available Distribution Amount for the
related Distribution Date;
(ii) second, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Pool
Custodial Account that represent any other payments or other collections
Received by the Trust with respect to the Mortgage Pool that, but for
their application to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to pay
interest thereon, would be included in the Available Distribution Amount
for the related Distribution Date; and
(iii) third, out of any other amounts then on deposit in the Pool
Custodial Account that may be available to reimburse the subject
Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to pay interest thereon.
(b) If and to the extent that any payment or other collection of
principal of any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan is deemed to be applied in
accordance with Section 1.03(a)(i) to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance or to
pay interest thereon or is applied to reimburse a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amount, and further if and to the extent that such payment or other collection
of principal constitutes part of the Principal Distribution Amount for any
Distribution Date, then for purposes of calculating the Adjusted Principal
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, the amount of such payment or
other collection of principal shall be subtracted from the Principal
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date.
(c) If and to the extent that any Advance is determined to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance, such Advance or interest thereon is reimbursed out of
general principal collections on the Mortgage Pool as contemplated by Section
1.03(a) above or if any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount is paid from
principal collections on the Mortgage Pool, and the particular item for which
such Advance was originally made is subsequently collected (in whole or in part)
out of payments or other collections in respect of the related Mortgage Loan (or
Loan Group if applicable) or REO Mortgage Loan (such item, and interest thereon,
to the extent such interest was paid out of general collections on the Mortgage
Pool, if and to the extent so collected, a "Recovered Amount"), then for
purposes of calculating the Adjusted Principal Distribution Amount for the
Distribution Date that corresponds to the Collection Period in which such item
was recovered, such Recovered Amount (to the extent not already included
therein) shall be added to the Principal Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date.
(d) Nothing contained in this Section 1.03 is intended to limit the
ability of any party hereto that is entitled to reimbursement hereunder for any
unreimbursed Advances that have been or are determined to be Nonrecoverable
Advances (together with interest accrued and payable thereon pursuant to Section
3.12(b) or Section 4.03(d)) to collections of principal Received by the Trust
with respect to the Mortgage Pool; instead the order of priority set forth in
Section 1.03(a) is a deemed allocation only for purposes of calculating
distributions on the Certificates.
Section 1.04 Certain Calculations Relating to REO Loans.
(a) Each REO Loan shall be deemed to have an initial unpaid
principal balance and Stated Principal Balance equal to the unpaid principal
balance and Stated Principal Balance, respectively, of its predecessor Loan as
of the date of the related REO Acquisition. All Monthly Payments (other than a
Balloon Payment), Assumed Monthly Payments (in the case of a Balloon Loan
delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment) and other amounts due and owing,
or deemed to be due and owing, in respect of the predecessor Loan as of the date
of the related REO Acquisition, shall be deemed to continue to be due and owing
in respect of an REO Loan.
Amounts Received with respect to each REO Loan that is a successor
to a Serviced Loan (after provision for amounts to be applied to the payment of,
or to be reimbursed (1) to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for the
payment of, the costs of operating, managing and maintaining the related REO
Property and (2) to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or
the Fiscal Agent for the reimbursement of any outstanding unreimbursed Advances
on such REO Loan (and predecessor Loan) and interest thereon) shall be treated:
first, as a recovery of any amounts withdrawn from general principal collections
on the Mortgage Pool in order to reimburse any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amounts and Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Loan and interest on any
such Advance; second, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such REO
Loan at the related Mortgage Rate to but not including the Due Date in the
Collection Period of receipt; third, as a recovery of principal of such REO Loan
to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance (to the extent not already
reimbursed pursuant to clause first above); and fourth, in accordance with the
normal servicing practices of the Master Servicer, as a recovery of any other
amounts due and owing in respect of such REO Loan; provided that if the Loans
comprising a Serviced Loan Group become REO Loans, amounts Received with respect
to such REO Loans shall be applied to amounts due and owing in respect of such
REO Loans as provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Trust in respect of the
predecessor Loan as of the date of the related REO Acquisition, including any
unpaid Servicing Fees and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances,
together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent in respect of such Servicing
Advances and P&I Advances (including any Unliquidated Advance) in accordance
with Sections 3.12(b), 4.03(d) and 4.03A(d), respectively, shall continue to be
payable or reimbursable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Trust, as the case may be, in respect of an REO
Loan.

Agreement and/or the related Lead PSA.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding
Section 11.07, the transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and
property accomplished hereby is absolute and is intended by them to constitute a
sale.
(b) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to
Section 2.01(a) above, the Depositor shall direct each Mortgage Loan Seller
(pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to deliver to and
deposit with the Trustee or a Custodian appointed thereby (with a copy to the
Master Servicer), on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage File for each
Mortgage Loan (in connection with the Non-Serviced Trust Loans, the original
Mortgage File for such Mortgage Loan other than the related Mortgage Note shall
be held by the applicable Lead Trustee pursuant to the applicable Lead PSA on

of the definition of "Mortgage File" and each related UCC-2 and UCC-3 assignment
referred to in clause (a)(viii) of the definition of "Mortgage File" and the

each Serviced Mortgage Loan, that if it cannot deliver or cause to be delivered
the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (a)(ii), (a)(iii),
(a)(vi) (if recorded) and (a)(viii) of the definition of "Mortgage File" solely
because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such document or
instrument has been delivered for recordation, a copy of the original certified
by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the
original thereof submitted for recording, shall be forwarded to the Trustee.
Each assignment referred to in the second preceding paragraph that
is recorded by the Trustee shall reflect that it should be returned by the
public recording office to the Trustee or its agent following recording, and
each UCC-2 and UCC-3 assignment referred to in the second preceding paragraph
that is filed by the Trustee shall reflect that the file copy thereof should be

therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original. On a monthly basis, at the
expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trustee shall forward to the
Master Servicer a copy of each of the aforementioned assignments following the
Trustee's receipt thereof.

applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) promptly to prepare or cause the
preparation of a substitute therefor or to cure such defect, as the case may be,
and to deliver to the Trustee the substitute or corrected document. The Trustee
shall upon receipt from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cause the same to be
duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.

Section 2.01(a) above, the Depositor shall direct each Mortgage Loan Seller

behalf of and for the benefit of the applicable Companion Loan Noteholder). With
respect to the Deerbrook Mall Mortgage Loan and the Southland Mall Mortgage

hereof, does hereby assign, set over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders without recourse (except to the extent
herein provided) all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in, to and
under each Loan REMIC Interest and each related Loan REMIC Declaration. The

hereof.

joint-stock association.

Trustee's or Custodian's certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b)
should indicate the absence of such original. If the Trustee's obligation to
deliver the certifications contemplated in this subsection terminates because
two years have elapsed since the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver a
comparable certification to any party hereto, the applicable Companion Loan
Noteholder and any Underwriter on request.
(c) None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or any Custodian is under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine
any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the
Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective,
genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented
purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
Furthermore, none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or
any Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of
any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the
requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of
any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any
applicable jurisdiction.
(d) It is understood that the scope of the Trustee's review of the
Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in
clauses (a)(i) through (a)(v), (a)(vii) and (a)(viii) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" have been received and such additional information as will be
necessary for delivering the certifications required by Sections 2.02(a) and (b)
above.
(e) If, after the Closing Date, the Depositor comes into possession
of any documents or records that constitute part of the Mortgage File or
Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall promptly deliver such
document to the Trustee (if it constitutes part of the Mortgage File) or the
Master Servicer (if it constitutes part of the Servicing File), as applicable.
Section 2.03 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans for Document Defects and
Breaches of Representations and Warranties.
(a) If any party hereto discovers that any document constituting a
part of a Mortgage File (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Trust Loan, the
related Mortgage Note and the related endorsements specified in clause (a)(i)(A)
of the definition of "Mortgage File") has not been properly executed, is
missing, contains information that does not conform in any material respect with
the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does
not appear to be regular on its face (each, a "Document Defect"), or discovers
or receives notice of a breach of any representation or warranty of a Mortgage
Loan Seller made pursuant to Section 3(b) of the applicable Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan (a "Breach"), such party
shall give prompt written notice thereof to each of the Rating Agencies, the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the other parties hereto. If any such
Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan materially and
adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged
Property or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, then such Document
Defect shall constitute a "Material Document Defect" or such Breach shall
constitute a "Material Breach," as the case may be. Promptly upon becoming aware
of any such Material Document Defect or Material Breach (including through a
written notice given by any party hereto, as provided above), the Trustee shall
require the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than 90 days from the
earlier of the Mortgage Loan Seller's discovery or receipt of notice of such
Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be (or, in the case
of a Material Document Defect or Material Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan not
being a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, not
later than 90 days of any party discovering such Material Document Defect or
Material Breach), to cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall
include payment of losses and any Additional Trust Fund Expenses associated
therewith) or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan (or the related Mortgage
Loan Seller's portion thereof with respect to the Deerbrook Mall Mortgage Loan,
the Southland Mall Mortgage Loan and the Water Tower Place Trust Loan) or any
related REO Property (or, in the case of an REO Property that relates to a Loan
Group Trust Mortgage Loan, the Trust Fund's interest in the related REO Property
and in the case of Deerbrook Mall Mortgage Loan, the Southland Mall Mortgage
Loan and the Water Tower Place Trust Loan, the interest in the REO Property that
corresponds to the related Mortgage Loan Seller's portion thereof) at the
applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
Pool Custodial Account (or, in the case of a Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan or
an REO Property that relates to a Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan, to the related
Loan Group REO Account); provided, however, that if (i) such Material Document
Defect or Material Breach is capable of being cured but not within the
applicable 90-day period, (ii) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach
is not related to any Mortgage Loan's not being a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, (iii) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller
has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material
Document Defect or Material Breach within such 90-day period and (iv) the
affected Mortgage Loan is not then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete
such cure or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such repurchase
(it being understood and agreed that, in connection with the applicable Mortgage
Loan Seller's receiving such additional 90-day period, the applicable Mortgage
Loan Seller shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee setting forth
the reasons such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not capable of
being cured within the initial 90-day period and what actions the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating
that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Document
Defect or Material Breach will be cured within such additional 90-day period);
and provided, further, that, if any such Material Document Defect is still not
cured after the initial 90-day period and any such additional 90-day period
solely due to the failure of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to have
received the recorded document, then the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall
be entitled to continue to defer its cure and repurchase obligations in respect
of such Document Defect so long as the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller certifies
to the Trustee every 30 days thereafter that the Document Defect is still in
effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and
that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such
defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of
cure or repurchase may continue beyond the second anniversary of the Closing
Date. Provided that the Master Servicer has notice of such Material Document
Defect or Material Breach, the Master Servicer shall notify the Mortgage Loan
Seller if the related Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
during any applicable cure periods. Any of the following document defects shall
be conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect: (a) the absence from
the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, together with the
endorsements referred to in clause (a)(i) of the definition of "Mortgage File,"
unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity
with respect to the missing Mortgage Note and any missing endorsements that
appears to be regular on its face, (b) other than with respect to a Non-Serviced
Trust Loan, the absence from the Mortgage File of the original executed Mortgage
or a copy of such Mortgage certified by the local authority with which the
Mortgage was recorded, in each case with evidence of recording thereon, that
appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File
a copy of the executed Mortgage and a certificate stating that the original
signed Mortgage was sent for recordation, (c) other than with respect to a
Non-Serviced Trust Loan, the absence from the Mortgage File of the original or a
copy of the lender's title insurance policy, together with all endorsements or
riders (or copies thereof) that were issued with or subsequent to the issuance
of such policy, or marked up insurance binder or title commitment which is
marked as a binding commitment and countersigned by title company, insuring the
priority of the Mortgage as a first lien on the Mortgaged Property, (d) other
than with respect to a Non-Serviced Trust Loan, the absence from the Mortgage
File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of
assignment to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust and a certificate stating that
the original intervening assignments were sent for recordation, unless there is
included in the Mortgage File a certified copy of the intervening assignment or
(e) other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Trust Loan, the absence from the
Servicing File of any original letter of credit.
With respect to the Deerbrook Mall Mortgage Loan, the Southland Mall
Mortgage Loan and the Water Tower Place Trust Loan, the obligations of each of
Commerzbank and GSMC to cure or repurchase with respect to a Material Document
Defect or Material Breach with respect to the related Mortgage Loan shall be
limited to a cure or repurchase with respect to the Mortgage Note it sold to the
Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. With
respect to the Deerbrook Mall Mortgage Loan, the Southland Mall Mortgage Loan
and the Water Tower Place Trust Loan, any cure by either of Commerzbank or GSMC
with respect to the Mortgage Note it 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 Commerzbank and GSMC with respect to
such Mortgage Loan.
If one or more (but not all) of the Mortgage Loans constituting a
Cross-Collateralized Group are to be repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller as
contemplated by this Section 2.03(a), then, prior to the subject repurchase, the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall use its reasonable
efforts, subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan(s), to prepare and,
to the extent necessary and appropriate, have executed by the related Mortgagor
and record, such documentation as may be necessary to terminate the
cross-collateralization between the Mortgage Loan(s) in such
Cross-Collateralized Group that are to be repurchased, on the one hand, and the
remaining Mortgage Loan(s) therein, on the other hand, such that those two
groups of Mortgage Loans are each secured only by the Mortgaged Properties
identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as directly corresponding thereto;
provided that no such termination shall be effected unless and until (i) the
Controlling Class Directing Holder acting as the Directing Holder, if one is
then acting, has consented (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and
shall be deemed to have been given if no written objection is received by the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller within 10 Business Days of such Directing
Holder's receipt of a written request for such consent), (ii) the Trustee has
received from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (A) an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that such termination would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur
with respect to either REMIC Pool and (B) written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that such termination would not cause an Adverse Rating Event to occur
with respect to any Class of Certificates, (iii) the debt service coverage ratio
for the four preceding calendar quarters for all of the Mortgage Loans relating
to such Cross-Collateralized Group remaining is not less than 0.05x below the
debt service coverage ratio for all Mortgage Loans of such Cross-Collateralized
Group (including the affected Mortgage Loan) set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement, (iv) the loan-to-value ratio for all of the Mortgage Loans of such
Cross-Collateralized Group remaining is not greater than 5% more than the
loan-to-value ratio for all Mortgage Loans of such Cross-Collateralized Group
(including the affected Mortgage Loan) set forth in the Prospectus Supplement;
and provided, further, that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller may, at its
option, purchase the entire subject Cross-Collateralized Group in lieu of
effecting a termination of the cross-collateralization. All costs and expenses
incurred by the Trustee or any Person on its behalf pursuant to this paragraph
shall be included in the calculation of the Purchase Price for the Mortgage
Loan(s) to be repurchased. If the cross-collateralization of any
Cross-Collateralized Group is not or cannot be terminated as contemplated by
this paragraph, then, for purposes of (i) determining whether any Breach or
Document Defect, as the case may be, is a Material Breach or Material Document
Defect, and (ii) the application of remedies, such Cross-Collateralized Group
shall be treated as a single Mortgage Loan.
(b) In connection with any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this Section 2.03, and subject to Section 3.26, the Trustee, the Custodian, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the repurchasing
entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the repurchasing
entity, all portions (including, without limitation, the Servicing File) 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 repurchasing
entity or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents
have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to
appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms
pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee;
provided that such tender by the Trustee shall be conditioned upon its receipt
from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer's Certificate
to the effect that the requirements for repurchase have been satisfied. 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 2.03(c), and such other instruments as
may be necessary or appropriate to transfer title to an REO Property in
connection with the repurchase of an REO Loan and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of
any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer.
In connection with the repurchase of any Loan REMIC Loan, as
contemplated by this Section 2.03, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be
deemed to repurchase the related Loan REMIC Interests, and the Trustee shall
have no further responsibility for administering the related Loan REMIC pursuant
to this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists a Breach of that
portion of the representation or warranty on the part of a Mortgage Loan Seller
set forth in, or made pursuant to, paragraph 23 or paragraph 43 of Exhibit B to
the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, specifically relating to
whether or not the Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan
document for any Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to bear the Rating
Agency fees reflected in paragraph 23 or reasonable costs and expenses
associated with a defeasance, as set forth in paragraph 43 of Exhibit B to the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (any such fees, costs or expenses, referred to
in this subsection (d) as "Covered Costs"), then the Master Servicer shall
direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in writing to wire transfer to the
Pool Custodial Account, within 90 days of receipt of such direction, the amount
of any such reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Trust that (i)
otherwise would have been required to be paid by the Mortgagor if such
representation or warranty with respect to such costs and expenses had in fact
been true, as set forth in the related representation or warranty, (ii) have not
been paid by the Mortgagor, (iii) are the basis of such Breach and (iv)
constitute "Covered Costs." If any amount is due under the preceding sentence
for the Deerbrook Mall Mortgage Loan, the Southland Mall Mortgage Loan or the
Water Tower Place Trust Loan, then each of Commerzbank and GSMC shall be
required to wire transfer only such party's pro rata share (i.e., 50%) of such
amount. Upon payment of such costs, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be
deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. Provided that such payment is
made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the
Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Breach,
regardless of whether it constitutes a Material Breach, and neither the
Depositor nor the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be obligated to
otherwise cure such Breach or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan under any
circumstances. Amounts deposited in the Pool Custodial Account pursuant to this
paragraph shall constitute "Liquidation Proceeds" for all purposes of this
Agreement (other than Section 3.11(c)).
(d) Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and Section 2.03(a)
provide the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with
respect to any Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.04 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Depositor.
(a) The Depositor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the
Trustee, for its own benefit and the benefit of the Certificateholders and to

any party hereto of any breach of any of such representations, warranties and
covenants, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the other parties.
Section 2.05 Execution of Certificates; Issuance of Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interests.
The Trustee hereby acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage
Loans, each Loan REMIC Regular Interest and each Loan REMIC Residual Interest,
and, subject to Sections 2.01 and 2.02, the delivery to it or a Custodian on its

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE TRUST FUND
Section 3.01 Administration of the Loans.
(a) All of the Serviced Loans and REO Properties (which does not
include the Non-Serviced Loan Groups) are to be serviced and administered by the
Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer hereunder. Each of the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service and administer the Serviced
Loans and REO Properties that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant
to this Agreement on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (or, in the case of the Companion Loans, on behalf of the
related Companion Loan Noteholders), as determined in the good faith and
reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, in accordance with: (i) any and all applicable laws; (ii) the express
terms of this Agreement, the respective Serviced Loans and, in the case of the
Loan Groups, the related Co-Lender Agreement; and (iii) to the extent consistent
with the foregoing, the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable in accordance with this Agreement, shall service and
administer each Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Mortgage Loan as and when
necessary and appropriate consistent with the Servicing Standard. Without
limiting the foregoing, and subject to Section 3.22, (i) the Master Servicer
shall service and administer all of the Performing Serviced Loans and shall
render such services with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans as are
specifically provided for herein, and (ii) the Special Servicer shall service
and administer each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Property and shall render
such services with respect to the Performing Serviced Loans as are specifically
provided for herein. All references herein to the respective duties of the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and to the areas in which they may
exercise discretion, shall be subject to Section 3.22.
The parties hereto acknowledge that the Non-Serviced Loan Groups and
any related REO property are being serviced and administered under the
applicable Lead PSA and the applicable Lead Master Servicer will make any
advances required thereunder in respect of such loan and remit collections on
the Non-Serviced Trust Loans to or on behalf of the Trust. The Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall have no obligation
or authority to supervise the applicable Lead Master Servicer, the applicable
Lead Special Servicer, the applicable Lead Trustee or the applicable Lead Fiscal
Agent or to make Servicing Advances or P&I Advances, except as described in
Section 4.03A with respect to P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent with respect to certain of the Non-Serviced
Trust Loans. Although the Non-Serviced Loan Groups are being serviced under the
applicable Lead PSA, the Controlling Class Directing Holder will have certain
rights relating to the servicing of the Non-Serviced Loan Groups pursuant to the
applicable Lead PSA and the applicable Co-Lender Agreement. The obligation of
the Master Servicer to provide information and collections to the Trustee and
the Certi?cateholders with respect to the Non-Serviced Loan Groups shall be
dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from
the applicable Lead Master Servicer or the applicable Lead Special Servicer.
(b) Subject to Section 3.01(a) and Section 6.11 (taking account of
Section 6.11(b)), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have
full power and authority, acting alone or through sub-servicers, to do or cause
to be done any and all things in connection with the servicing and
administration contemplated by Section 3.01(a) that it may deem necessary or
desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer, in its own name, with respect to each of the
Serviced Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Companion Loan Noteholders or any of
them, (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other
documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage
or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged
Property and related collateral; (ii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard
and subject to Section 3.21 and Section 6.11 (taking account of Section
6.11(b)), any and all modifications, extensions, waivers, amendments or consents
to or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File;
(iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or
full release or discharge or of assignment, and all other comparable
instruments; and (iv) any and all instruments that such party may be required to
execute on behalf of the Trustee in connection with the defeasance of a Serviced
Loan as contemplated in this Agreement. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee
shall, at the written request of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
promptly execute any limited powers of attorney and other documents furnished by
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that are necessary or appropriate to
enable them to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of
any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.
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) take any action with the intent to cause, and
that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.
(c) The parties hereto acknowledge that the Loan Groups are subject
to the terms and conditions of the applicable Co-Lender Agreement. The parties
hereto further recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Loan Group
Trust Mortgage Loan holder, the Pari Passu Companion Loan holder and/or
Subordinate Companion Loan Noteholder under the applicable Co-Lender Agreement,
including with respect to (i) the allocation of collections on or in respect of
the Loan Groups in accordance with the applicable Co-Lender Agreement, (ii) the
making of payments to the Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan holder, the Pari Passu
Companion Loan holder and/or Subordinate Companion Loan Noteholder in accordance
with the applicable Co-Lender Agreement, (iii) the purchase of the Loan Group
Trust Mortgage Loans by the related Subordinate Companion Loan Noteholders
(and/or, in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the Class OEA-B
Majority Holder) or their designees in accordance with the applicable Co-Lender
Agreement, and, if applicable, other related Companion Loan Noteholders under
the applicable Lead PSA and (iv) in the case where a Companion Loan Noteholder
(and, in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the Class OEA-B Majority
Holder) is the Directing Holder, the right of such Directing Holder to cure a
default of the related Mortgagor in accordance with the applicable Co-Lender
Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at such time as any Serviced Loan
Group Trust Mortgage Loan shall no longer be part of the Trust Fund and a
separate servicing agreement with respect to the related Loan Group has not been
entered into in accordance with the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement,
then, until such time as a separate servicing agreement is entered into and any
required Rating Agency confirmation is obtained, and notwithstanding that such
Serviced Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, the
Master Servicer and, if applicable, the Special Servicer shall continue to
service such Loan Group or any related Loan Group REO Properties, as the case
may be, under this Agreement as if it were a separate servicing agreement, for
the benefit of each holder of a Loan in such Loan Group, and under any related
Co-Lender Agreement, with: (i) such Loan Group and the related Loan Group
Mortgaged Properties constituting the sole assets thereunder; and (ii)
references to the "Trustee," "Trust," "Certificateholders" (or any sub-group
thereof) and the "Controlling Class Directing Holder" being construed to refer
to the new holder of the Serviced Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan that is no
longer included in the Trust Fund under the applicable Co-Lender Agreement.
(d) The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer to the Trustee and the Companion Loan Noteholders under this Agreement
is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that
of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
Section 3.02 Collection of Loan Payments.
(a) Each of the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced
Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall
undertake reasonable efforts to collect all payments required under the terms
and provisions of the Serviced Loans it is obligated to service hereunder and
shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with the Servicing
Standard. The Special Servicer shall ensure that, with respect to Specially
Serviced Loans, the Mortgagors make payments directly to the Master Servicer;
provided that, in the event the Special Servicer receives a payment that should
have been made directly to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall
promptly forward such payment to the Master Servicer. Upon receipt of any such
payment with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall
promptly notify the Special Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall direct the
Master Servicer as to the proper posting of such payment. Consistent with the
foregoing, the Special Servicer, with regard to a Specially Serviced Loan, or
the Master Servicer, with regard to a Performing Serviced Loan, may waive or
defer any Default Charges in connection with collecting any late payment on a
Serviced Loan; provided that without the consent of the Special Servicer in the
case of a proposed waiver by the Master Servicer, no such waiver or deferral may
be made by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.02 if any Advance has
been made as to such delinquent payment.
(b) All amounts Received with respect to any Cross-Collateralized
Group in the form of payments from Mortgagors, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, shall be applied by the Master Servicer among
the Mortgage Loans constituting such Cross-Collateralized Group in accordance
with the express provisions of the related Loan documents and, in the absence of
such express provisions or to the extent that such payments and other
collections may be applied at the discretion of the lender, on a pro rata basis
in accordance with the respective amounts then "due and owing" as to each such
Mortgage Loan.
(c) Except in the case of the Loan Groups, amounts Received in
respect of or allocable to any particular Mortgage Loan (whether or not such
Mortgage Loan constitutes part of a Cross-Collateralized Group) in the form of
payments from Mortgagors, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or
Insurance Proceeds shall be applied to amounts due and owing under the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage (including for principal and accrued and unpaid
interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the related Mortgage Note
and Mortgage and, in the absence of such express provisions or to the extent
that such payments and other collections may be applied at the discretion of the

Loan to the extent of any outstanding P&I Advances and unpaid Master Servicing

and, in each case, interest thereon that was reimbursed from general principal

balance); sixth, unless a Liquidation Event has occurred with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, as a recovery of amounts to be currently applied to the payment
of, or escrowed for the future payment of, real estate taxes, assessments,

ground rents (if applicable) and similar items; seventh, unless a Liquidation
Event has occurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan, as a recovery of Reserve

All amounts Received with respect to any Loan Group shall be applied

accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the
related Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgage, the related loan agreement, if
any, and the related Co-Lender Agreement.
Section 3.03 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Servicing Accounts; Reserve Accounts.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, as to all Serviced Mortgage Loans,
establish and maintain one or more accounts, in which all related Escrow
Payments shall be deposited and retained (each a "Servicing Account"). Subject
to the terms of the related Loan documents, each Servicing Account shall be an
Eligible Account. Withdrawals of amounts so collected from a Servicing Account
may be made (to the extent of amounts on deposit therein in respect of the
related Loan or, in the case of clauses (iv) and (v) below, to the extent of
interest or other income earned on such amounts) only for the following
purposes: (i) consistent with the related Loan documents, to effect the payment
of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums (including premiums on any
Environmental Insurance Policy), ground rents (if applicable) and comparable
items in respect of the respective Mortgaged Properties; (ii) insofar as the
particular Escrow Payment represents a late payment that was intended to cover
an item described in the immediately preceding clause (i) for which a Servicing
Advance was made, to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, for such Servicing Advance; (iii) to
refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) to pay
interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in such
Servicing Account; (v) to pay the Master Servicer interest and investment income
on balances in such Servicing Account as described in Section 3.06(b), if and to
the extent not required by law or the terms of the related Loan documents to be
paid to the Mortgagor; or (vi) to clear and terminate such Servicing Account at
the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. To the extent
permitted by law or the applicable Loan documents, funds in the Servicing
Accounts may be invested only in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to
the Mortgagors interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in the
related Servicing Accounts, if required by law or the terms of the related Loan.
If the Master Servicer shall deposit in a Servicing Account any amount not
required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from
such Servicing Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, as to each and every Serviced Loan,
(i) maintain accurate records with respect to the related Mortgaged Property
reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items
that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and
any ground rents payable in respect thereof and (ii) use reasonable efforts to
obtain, from time to time, all bills for (or otherwise confirm) the payment of
such items (including renewal premiums) and, if the subject Serviced Loan
requires the related Mortgagor to escrow for such items, shall effect payment
thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. For purposes of
effecting any such payment for which it is responsible, the Master Servicer
shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Serviced
Loan (or, if such Serviced Loan does not require the related Mortgagor to escrow
for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground
rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Master Servicer shall use
reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related
Mortgagor to comply with the requirement of the related Mortgage that the
Mortgagor make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become
due and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar
proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of
such items). Subject to Section 3.12(d), the Master Servicer shall timely make a
Servicing Advance to cover any such item which is not so paid, including any
penalties or other charges arising from the Mortgagor's failure to timely pay
such items.
(c) The Master Servicer shall, as to each and every Serviced Loan,
make a Servicing Advance with respect to the related Mortgaged Property in an
amount equal to all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the
payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items, (ii)
ground rents (if applicable), and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies
(including Environmental Insurance Policies), in each instance if and to the
extent Escrow Payments (if any) collected from the related Mortgagor are
insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to
pay such item on a timely basis. All such Servicing Advances shall be
reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors,
and further as provided in Section 3.05(a) or 3.05A. No costs incurred by the
Master Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and,
if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall,
for purposes of this Agreement, including the Trustee's calculation of monthly
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated Principal
Balances of the related Serviced Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Loans so permit. The foregoing shall in no way limit the Master Servicer's
ability to charge and collect from the Mortgagor such costs together with
interest thereon.
(d) The Master Servicer shall, as to all Serviced Loans, establish
and maintain, as applicable, one or more accounts ("Reserve Accounts"), into
which all Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deposited and retained. Withdrawals of
amounts so deposited may be made (i) for the specific purposes for which the
particular Reserve Funds were delivered, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard and the terms of the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and any other
agreement with the related Mortgagor governing such Reserve Funds, and (ii) to
pay the Master Servicer interest and investment income earned on amounts in the
Reserve Accounts as described below. To the extent permitted in the applicable
Loan documents, funds in the Reserve Accounts may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Subject to the
related Loan documents, all Reserve Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts.
Consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer may waive or extend
the date set forth in any agreement governing Reserve Funds by which any
required repairs, capital improvements and/or environmental remediation at the
related Mortgaged Property must be completed; provided that any waiver, any
extension for more than 120 days and any subsequent extension may only be
granted with the consent of the Special Servicer.
Section 3.04 Pool Custodial Account, Defeasance Deposit Account,
Distribution Account, Interest Reserve Account and Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
separate accounts (collectively, the "Pool Custodial Account"), in which the
amounts described in clauses (i) through (ix) below (which shall not include any
amounts allocable to the Companion Loans or the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled
Trust Loan) shall be deposited and held on behalf of the Trustee in trust for
the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee as the Holder of the Loan
REMIC Interests and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests. The Pool Custodial
Account shall be an Eligible Account. Amounts in the Pool Custodial Account
attributable to each Loan REMIC Loan will be assets of the related Loan REMIC.
The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Pool Custodial
Account, within one Business Day of receipt (in the case of payments by
Mortgagors or other collections on the Mortgage Loans (other than the 000 Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan)) or as otherwise required hereunder, the following
payments and collections received or made by the Master Servicer or on its
behalf subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and
interest on the Mortgage Loans due and payable on or before the Cut-off Date,
which amounts shall be delivered promptly to the Depositor or its designee, with
negotiable instruments endorsed as necessary and appropriate without recourse,
and other than amounts required to be deposited in the Defeasance Deposit
Account), or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or
prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal of the Serviced Mortgage
Loans, including Principal Prepayments, and regardless of whether those payments
are made by the related Mortgagor or any related guarantor, out of any related
Reserve Funds maintained for such purpose, out of collections on any related
Defeasance Collateral or from any other source;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Serviced Mortgage
Loans, including Default Interest, and regardless of whether those payments are
made by the related Mortgagor or any related guarantor, out of any related
Reserve Funds maintained for such purpose, out of collections on any related
Defeasance Collateral or from any other source;
(iii) all Prepayment Premiums, Yield Maintenance Charges and late
payment charges received in respect of any Serviced Mortgage Loan;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation
Proceeds received in respect of any Serviced Mortgage Loan (including any
amounts paid by a Mortgagor or received as Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds that represent recoveries for an Advance (or
interest thereon) that was previously reimbursed to the party that made such
Advance as either a Nonrecoverable Advance or as a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amount);
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to
Permitted Investments of funds held in the Pool Custodial Account;
(vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(b) in connection with losses
resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket hazard policy;
(vii) any amounts required to be transferred from an REO Account
pursuant to Section 3.17(c);
(viii) insofar as they do not constitute Escrow Payments, any
amounts paid by a Mortgagor specifically to cover items for which a Servicing
Advance has been made; and
(ix) all amounts remitted or advanced by the applicable Lead Master
Servicer in respect of the Non-Serviced Trust Loans pursuant to the applicable
Lead PSA;
provided that any amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) and (vi) through
(viii) above that relate to any Serviced Loan Group or any related REO Property
(other than Liquidation Proceeds derived from the sale of the Pooled Mortgage
Loans to or through the Companion Loan Noteholders (or in the case of the 000
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Pooled Trust Loan, to or through the Class OEA-B Majority Holder
and/or the holder of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Subordinate Companion Loan) pursuant
to the Co-Lender Agreement or as a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to
Section 3.19 or the repurchase of a Pooled Mortgage Loan by a Mortgage Loan
Seller) shall be deposited in the applicable Loan Group Custodial Account, and,
in any such case, shall thereafter be transferred to the Pool Custodial Account
(except in the case of amounts relating to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled
Trust Loan, which shall be transferred to the Class OEA-B Sub-Account) as
provided in Section 3.05A.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Pool Custodial Account
shall be exclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, actual payments from
Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds, assumption fees,
assumption application fees, funds representing a Mortgagor's payment of costs
and expenses associated with assumptions and defeasance, modification fees,
extension fees, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, amounts collected
for checks returned for insufficient funds and any similar fees not expressly
referred to in the prior paragraph need not be deposited by the Master Servicer
in the Pool Custodial Account. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Pool
Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any
time withdraw such amount from the Pool Custodial Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to
the Special Servicer, as additional special servicing compensation in accordance
with Section 3.11(c), all assumption fees and assumption application fees (or
the applicable portions thereof), and other transaction fees received by the
Master Servicer to which the Special Servicer is entitled pursuant to such
Section upon receipt of a written statement (on which the Master Servicer is
entitled to rely) of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer describing the
item and amount (unless pursuant to this Agreement it is otherwise clear that
the Special Servicer is entitled to such amounts, in which case a written
statement is not required). The Pool Custodial Account shall be maintained as a
segregated account, separate and apart from trust funds created for
mortgage-backed securities of other series and the other accounts of the Master
Servicer.
Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through
(iv) and (vii) through (viii) above with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other
than any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Group), the Special
Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days after
receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Pool
Custodial Account in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, unless the
Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a
particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or
other appropriate reason. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the
order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to
the order of the Master Servicer, unless the Special Servicer determines,
consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so
endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate
reason. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO
Property (other than an REO Property that relates to a Loan Group) shall be
deposited by the Special Servicer into the Pool REO Account and thereafter
remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Pool Custodial Account as
and to the extent provided in Section 3.17(c).
If and when any Mortgagor under a Defeasance Loan that is a Serviced
Loan elects to defease all or any part of its Loan and, pursuant to the
provisions of the related Loan documents, delivers cash to the Master Servicer
to purchase the required Defeasance Collateral, the Master Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more separate segregated accounts (collectively,
the "Defeasance Deposit Account"), in which the Master Servicer shall deposit
such cash within one Business Day of receipt by the Master Servicer. The Master
Servicer shall retain such cash in the Defeasance Deposit Account pending its
prompt application to purchase Defeasance Collateral. The Master Servicer shall
hold such cash and maintain the Defeasance Deposit Account on behalf of the
Mortgagor, as beneficial owner of the Defeasance Collateral, and the Trustee
and, in the case of the Loan Groups, the Companion Loan Noteholders, to secure
payment on the related Defeasance Loan. The Defeasance Deposit Account shall be
an Eligible Account. To the extent permitted by law or the applicable Defeasance
Loan, prior to the purchase of Defeasance Collateral, funds in the Defeasance
Deposit Account may be invested only in Permitted Investments in accordance with
the provisions of Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be
paid to the related Mortgagor(s) interest, if any, earned on the investment of
funds in the Defeasance Deposit Account, if required by law or the terms of the
related Loan(s).
(b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more trust
accounts (collectively, the "Distribution Account") to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the
Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Distribution Account
shall be deemed to consist of seven separate sub-accounts, which shall be
established and maintained on a book-entry basis: the Lower-Tier Distribution
Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Class OEA-B Sub-Account, the
Interest Reserve Account and three separate subaccounts with respect to the Loan
REMIC Residual Interests (each, a "Grantor Trust Sub-Account"). The Grantor
Trust Sub-Accounts shall be assets of the Grantor Trust and beneficially owned
by the Holders of the Class R-I Certificates, and shall not be an asset of the
Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class OEA-B Sub-Account shall be
deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class OEA-B
Certificates. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee each month on or
before the Master Servicer Remittance Date, for deposit in the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account, an aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal
to the Master Servicer Remittance Amount for such Master Servicer Remittance
Date, together with, in the case of the final Distribution Date, any additional
amounts contemplated by the second paragraph of Section 9.01. The Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee each month on or before the Master
Servicer Remittance Date therein, for deposit in the Class OEA-B Sub-Account, an
aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to the Master Servicer
Class OEA-B Remittance Amount for such Master Servicer Remittance Date, together
with, in the case of the final Distribution Date, any additional amounts with
respect to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan contemplated by the
second paragraph of Section 9.01.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Class OEA-B
Sub-Account, the Grantor Trust Sub-Accounts and the Interest Reserve Account may
be maintained as part of a single Distribution Account. Amounts actually
deposited into or distributed from the Distribution Account will be deemed to be
deposited or distributed from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Class OEA-B Sub-Account, the Grantor Trust
Sub-Accounts and the Interest Reserve Account, as applicable.
In addition, the Master Servicer shall, as and when required
hereunder, deliver to the Trustee (without duplication) for deposit in the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account:
(i) any P&I Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer in
accordance with Section 4.03(a); and
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.20(a) in connection with Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
In addition, the Master Servicer shall, as and when required
hereunder, deliver to the Trustee (without duplication) for deposit in the Class
OEA-B Sub-Account any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.20(a) in connection with Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on
the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan.
The Trustee shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account, the Class OEA-B Sub-Account or the Grantor Trust
Sub-Accounts, as applicable, any and all amounts received by the Trustee that
are required by the terms of this Agreement to be deposited therein.
Promptly on each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be deemed to
withdraw from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Class OEA-B
Sub-Account and deposit in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account an aggregate
amount of immediately available funds equal to the Lower-Tier Distribution
Amount, the Available OEA-B Distribution Amount and the amount of any Net
Prepayment Consideration for such Distribution Date allocated in payment of the
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests as specified in Sections 4.01(i) and
4.01(j), respectively.
In the event that the Master Servicer fails, on any Master Servicer
Remittance Date, to remit to the Trustee any amount(s) required to be so
remitted to the Trustee hereunder by such date, the Master Servicer shall pay
the Trustee, for the account of the Trustee, interest, calculated at the Prime
Rate, on such amount(s) not timely remitted, from and including that Master
Servicer Remittance Date, to but not including the date such payment was made.
On the Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of each year
(commencing in March 2005), the Trustee shall transfer from the Interest Reserve
Account to the Lower-Tier Distribution Account all Interest Reserve Amounts then
on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account with respect to the Interest Reserve
Mortgage Loans and any Interest Reserve REO Mortgage Loans.
As and when required pursuant to Section 3.04(d), the Trustee shall
transfer monies from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account.
(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(collectively, the "Interest Reserve Account"), which may be a sub-account of
the Distribution Account, to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Trust as Holder of the Loan REMIC Interests and the
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests. Each account that constitutes the Interest
Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account. On each Distribution Date in
February and, during a year that is not a leap year, in January, prior to any
distributions being made in respect of the Certificates on such Distribution
Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and
deposit in the Interest Reserve Account with respect to each Interest Reserve
Mortgage Loan and Interest Reserve REO Mortgage Loan, an amount equal to the
Interest Reserve Amount, if any, in respect of such Mortgage Loan or REO
Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Loan REMIC Loan, in respect of the related Loan
REMIC Regular Interest), as the case may be, for such Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding that the Interest Reserve Account, the OEA-B
Sub-Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution
Account and the Grantor Trust Sub-Accounts may be sub-accounts of the
Distribution Account for reasons of administrative convenience, the Interest
Reserve Account, the OEA-B Sub-Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account and the Grantor Trust Sub-Accounts shall, for
all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations and responsibilities
of the Trustee hereunder), be considered to be and shall be required to be
treated as, separate and distinct accounts. The Trustee shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust Fund against any losses arising out of the failure by the
Trustee to perform its duties and obligations hereunder as if such accounts were
separate. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any resignation or
removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee.
(d) If any Excess Liquidation Proceeds are received on the Mortgage
Pool, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(collectively, the "Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account") to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the
Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account shall be an Eligible Account. On each Master
Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Pool
Custodial Account and remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account all Excess Liquidation Proceeds received during the Collection
Period ending on the Determination Date immediately prior to such Master
Servicer Remittance Date. Excess Liquidation Proceeds with respect to a Loan
REMIC Loan shall be deemed distributable to the related Loan REMIC Residual
Interest and immediately deposited in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account.
(e) Funds in the Pool Custodial Account may be invested only in
Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Funds
in the Distribution Account (and all subaccounts thereof) and the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account shall remain uninvested. The Master Servicer shall
give notice to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Rating Agencies of the
location of the Pool Custodial Account as of the Closing Date and of the new
location of the Pool Custodial Account within two Business Days of any change
thereof. As of the Closing Date, the Distribution Account (and all subaccounts
thereof) and, when established, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account shall be
located at the Trustee's offices in Chicago, Illinois. The Trustee shall give
notice to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Rating Agencies of
any change in the location of the Distribution Account (and all subaccounts
thereof), the Interest Reserve Account or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Account prior to any change thereof.
Section 3.04A. Loan Group Custodial Account. (a) The Master Servicer
shall establish and maintain, with respect to each Serviced Loan Group, one or
more separate accounts, which may be sub-accounts of a single account (with
respect to each Loan Group, the "Loan Group Custodial Account") in which the
amounts described in clauses (i) through (ix) below shall be deposited and held
in trust for the benefit of the related Loan Group Noteholders, as their
interests may appear; provided that a Loan Group Custodial Account may be a
sub-account of another Custodial Account. Each of the Loan Group Custodial
Accounts shall be an Eligible Account or a subaccount of an Eligible Account.
The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the applicable
Loan Group Custodial Account, within one Business Day of receipt (in the case of
payments or other collections on such Loan Group) or as otherwise required
hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by the Master
Servicer or on its behalf with respect to the related Loan Group subsequent to
the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on such Loan
Group due and payable on or before the Cut-off Date, which payments shall be
held pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, and other than
amounts required to be deposited in the Defeasance Deposit Account):
(i) all payments on account of principal of the applicable Loan
Group, including Principal Prepayments, and regardless of whether those
payments are made by the related Mortgagor or any related guarantor, out
of any related Reserve Funds maintained for such purpose, out of
collections on any related Defeasance Collateral or from any other source;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the applicable Loan
Group, including Default Interest, and regardless of whether those
payments are made by the related Mortgagor or any related guarantor, out
of any related Reserve Funds maintained for such purpose, out of
collections on any related Defeasance Collateral or from any other source;
(iii) all Prepayment Premiums, Yield Maintenance Charges and/or late
payment charges received in respect of the applicable Loan Group;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation
Proceeds received in respect of the applicable Loan Group (other than
Liquidation Proceeds derived from the sale of any Pooled Mortgage Loans to
or through the related Subordinate Companion Loan Noteholder (or, in the
case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan, any sale to or
through the Class OEA-B Majority Holder and/or the holder of the 000
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Subordinate Companion Loan) or the repurchase of a Pooled
Mortgage Loan by a Mortgage Loan Seller, which shall be deposited directly
into the Pool Custodial Account) (including any amounts paid by a
Mortgagor or received as Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds that represent recoveries for an Advance (or interest
thereon) that was previously reimbursed to the party that made such
Advance as either a Nonrecoverable Advance or as a Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amount);
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect
to Permitted Investments of funds held in the applicable Loan Group
Custodial Account;
(vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(b) in connection with losses
with respect to the applicable Loan Group resulting from a deductible
clause in a blanket hazard policy;
(vii) any amounts required to be transferred from the related Loan
Group REO Account pursuant to Section 3.17(c);
(viii) insofar as they do not constitute Escrow Payments, any
amounts paid by the related Mortgagor with respect to the applicable Loan
Group specifically to cover items for which a Servicing Advance has been
made; and
(ix) any P&I Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer
with respect to a Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan or the related Pari Passu
Companion Loans in accordance with Section 4.03A.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the applicable Loan Group
Custodial Account shall be exclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, actual
payments from the related Mortgagor in respect of all Loan Groups in the nature
of Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds, assumption fees, assumption application fees,
funds representing such Mortgagor's payment of costs and expenses associated
with assumptions and defeasance, modification fees, extension fees, charges for
beneficiary statements or demands, amounts collected for checks returned for
insufficient funds and any similar fees not expressly referred to in the prior
paragraph need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the applicable Loan
Group Custodial Account. If the Master Servicer shall deposit into a Loan Group
Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any
time withdraw such amount from such Loan Group Custodial Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall promptly
deliver to the Special Servicer, as additional special servicing compensation in
accordance with Section 3.11(c), all assumption fees and assumption application
fees (or the applicable portions thereof) and other transaction fees received by
the Master Servicer with respect to all Loan Groups, to which the Special
Servicer is entitled pursuant to such section, upon receipt of a written
statement of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer describing the item and
amount (unless pursuant to this Agreement it is otherwise clear that the Special
Servicer is entitled to such amounts, in which case a written statement is not
required). Each Loan Group Custodial Account shall be maintained as a segregated
account, separate and apart from trust funds created for mortgage-backed
securities of other series and the other accounts of the Master Servicer.
Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through
(iv) and (viii) above with respect to a Loan Group, the Special Servicer shall
promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days after receipt, remit such
amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the related Loan Group Custodial
Account in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, unless the Special
Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular
item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or other
appropriate reason. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order
of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the
order of the Master Servicer, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent
with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and
delivered because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason. Any
such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO Property
that relates to any Loan Group shall initially be deposited by the Special
Servicer into the related REO Account and thereafter remitted to the Master
Servicer for deposit into the related Loan Group Custodial Account, all in
accordance with Section 3.17(c).
(f) If and when the related Mortgagor elects to defease a Serviced
Loan Group, the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 3.04(a) relating to
the Defeasance Deposit Account shall apply.

(xvi) to pay, in accordance with Section 3.12(e), out of general

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting

(xviii) above.
The Master Servicer shall pay to the Special Servicer (or to third
party contractors at the direction of the Special Servicer), the Trustee or the

Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer or of a Responsible Officer of the

applicable, is entitled (unless such payment to the Special Servicer, the
Trustee (for example, the Trustee Fee) or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be,
is clearly required pursuant to this Agreement, in which case a written
statement is not required). The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any
such written statement and shall have no duty to re-calculate the amounts stated
therein. With respect to any reimbursement to be made hereunder to the GCCFC C2

subsequently determined to be nonrecoverable pursuant to the terms of the GCCFC

from the Pool Custodial Account for reimbursements of Advances or interest
thereon.
(b) Promptly on each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be deemed
to withdraw from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and deposit in the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account an aggregate amount of immediately available
funds equal to the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Net
Prepayment Consideration for such Distribution Date allocated in payment of the
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests as specified in Sections 4.01(i) and
4.01(j), respectively. The Trustee may, from time to time, make withdrawals from
the Distribution Account (which in the case of clauses (ii) through (vii) shall
be deemed to have been withdrawn from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account) for
any of the following purposes (in no particular order of priority) provided,
that no withdrawals under clauses (ii) through (v) below shall be deemed to be
made from the Class OEA-B Sub-Account unless such withdrawal is solely related
to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan, and any withdrawals that relate
to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan pursuant to such clauses shall be
made first from the Class OEA-B Sub-Account and then, to the extent not
available therein, the remainder of the Lower-Tier Distribution Account:
(i) to make distributions to Certificateholders from the applicable
subaccount on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 or 9.01, as
applicable;
(ii) to pay (A) the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or any of their

(B) as and when contemplated by Section 8.08, the cost of the Trustee's
transferring Mortgage Files and other documents to a successor after being
terminated by Certificateholders pursuant to Section 8.07(c) without
cause;
(iii) to pay, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on
deposit in the Distribution Account, for the cost of the Opinions of
Counsel sought by the Trustee or the Tax Administrator (A) as provided in
clause (iv) of the definition of "Disqualified Organization," (B) as
contemplated by Sections 10.01(i) and 10.02(e), or (C) as contemplated by
Section 11.01(a) or 11.01(c) in connection with any amendment to this
Agreement requested by the Trustee which amendment is in furtherance of
the rights and interests of Certificateholders;
(iv) to pay, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on
deposit in the Distribution Account, any and all federal, state and local
taxes imposed on either REMIC Pool or any Loan REMIC or on the assets or
transactions of either such REMIC Pool or such Loan REMIC, together with
all incidental costs and expenses, to the extent none of the Trustee, the
Tax Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is liable
therefor pursuant to Section 10.01(j);
(v) to pay the Tax Administrator, out of general collections on the
Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Distribution Account, any amounts
reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 10.01(f);
(vi) to pay the Master Servicer any amounts deposited by the Master
Servicer in the Distribution Account in error;
(vii) to transfer Interest Reserve Amounts in respect of the
Interest Reserve Mortgage Loans and any Interest Reserve REO Mortgage
Loans from the Distribution Account to the Interest Reserve Account as and
when required by Section 3.04(c); and
(viii) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account at the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
On or prior to a Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be entitled to
withdraw amounts that are payable or reimbursable as set forth in clauses (ii)
through (vii) above from the Distribution Account (which will be deemed to be
withdrawn from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account) prior to making
distributions to Certificateholders on such Distribution Date.
(c) On each Master Servicer Remittance Date in March (commencing in
March 2005), the Trustee shall withdraw from the Interest Reserve Account and
deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account all Interest Reserve Amounts that
have been deposited in the Interest Reserve Account in respect of the Interest
Reserve Mortgage Loans and any Interest Reserve REO Mortgage Loans during
February and/or January of the same year in accordance with Section 3.04(c).
(d) On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee shall
withdraw from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and deposit in the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, for distribution on the following Distribution
Date, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the entire amount, if any, then on
deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and (ii) the excess, if any,
of the aggregate amount distributable with respect to the Regular Interest
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to Sections 4.01(a) and 4.01(b),
over the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date (calculated
without regard to such transfer from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to
the Distribution Account); provided that on the Master Servicer Remittance Date
immediately prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw
from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and deposit in the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account, for distribution on such Distribution Date, any and all
amounts then on deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon
a determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance,
instead of obtaining reimbursement out of general collections on the Mortgage
Pool on deposit in the Pool Custodial Account immediately as contemplated by
Section 3.05(a)(vii), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or
the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, may, in its sole discretion, elect to obtain
reimbursement for such Nonrecoverable Advance over time and the unreimbursed
portion of such Advance will accrue interest at the Prime Rate. At any time
after such a determination to obtain reimbursement over time (not to exceed 6
months or such longer period as may be requested by the advancing party and
approved by the Controlling Class Directing Holder), the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, may, in its
sole discretion, decide to obtain reimbursement immediately. The fact that a
decision to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so,
benefits some Classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other Classes
shall not constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer or be deemed a breach of any fiduciary duty of
the Trustee to Certificateholders by the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, or a
breach of a contractual obligation by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent.
To the extent a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to a Mortgage
Loan is required to be reimbursed from general collections on the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to clauses (vi) or (vii) of Section 3.05(a), such reimbursement shall
be allocated first, to the principal portion of the general collections
available on the Mortgage Loans. To the extent a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amount is reimbursed pursuant to clause (vii) of Section 3.05(a), such
reimbursement shall be limited to an amount equal to, and be allocable solely
to, principal collections available on the Mortgage Loans, net of amounts paid
pursuant to the previous sentence.
The Master Servicer shall give each Rating Agency at least 15 days
notice prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts
in the Pool Custodial Account allocable to interest on the Trust Mortgage Loans
unless (1) the Master Servicer determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15
days after such a notice could jeopardize the Master Servicer's ability to
recover Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different
information becomes known to the Master Servicer that could affect or cause a
determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, whether to
defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause
(1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer has not timely received from the Trustee
information requested by the Master Servicer to consider in determining whether
to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause
(1), (2) or (3) apply, the Master Servicer shall give each Rating Agency notice
of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in
the Pool Custodial Account allocable to interest on the Trust Mortgage Loans as
soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances. The Master Servicer shall
have no liability for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any notice
provided to each Rating Agency contemplated by the immediately preceding
sentence.
(f) In the event that servicing advances on the 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Loan
Group, Xxxxx Fargo Tower Loan Group and 1801 K Street Loan Group or P&I advances
on such Loans have been made with respect to the 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group,
Xxxxx Fargo Tower Loan Group or 1801 K Street Loan Group under the GCCFC C2 PSA
by the GCCFC C2 Master Servicer, GCCFC C2 Trustee or the GCCFC C2 Fiscal Agent,
and in accordance with the GCCFC C2 PSA, a subsequent determination has been
made that such advance constitutes a nonrecoverable advance, the party that made
such advance shall be entitled to a reimbursement of such advance with interest
thereon as set forth in the GCCFC C2 PSA, from general collections on all
Mortgage Loans in the Pool Custodial Account (up to, with respect to a servicing
advance, the related Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan's proportionate share of
such servicing advance, or if such amount together with amounts available from
general collections in the custodial account created under the GCCFC C2 PSA is
insufficient to reimburse the party that made such servicing advance, then up to
the full amount of such servicing advance and interest thereon).

immediately preceding clause (A) are insufficient, but only if such
Advance is being reimbursed at the same time or if such Advance has been
previously reimbursed, out of any amounts on deposit in the applicable
Loan Group Custodial Account that represent any other collections on or in
respect of the related Loan Group;
(x) to pay for (A) costs and expenses incurred with respect to the
Loan Group Mortgaged Properties pursuant to Section 3.09(c) (other than
the costs of environmental testing, which are to be covered by, and
reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance), (B) the costs and expenses of
obtaining appraisals of the Loan Group Mortgaged Properties pursuant to
Section 3.12(d) or 4.03A(c), as applicable, and (C) the fees of any
Independent Contractor retained with respect to any related Loan Group REO
Property pursuant to Section 3.18(d) (to the extent that it has not paid
itself such fees prior to remitting collections on such REO Property to
the Special Servicer);
(xi) to pay itself, as additional servicing compensation in
accordance with Section 3.11(a), (A) interest and investment income earned
in respect of amounts held in the applicable Loan Group Custodial Account

Investment Earnings with respect to the applicable Loan Group Custodial
Account for any Collection Period and (B) Net Default Charges (after
application pursuant to Section 3.27(c)) actually collected that accrued
in respect of the Companion Loans during a period that they were not
Specially Serviced Loans and the Loan Group Mortgaged Properties were not
REO Properties, and to pay the Special Servicer, as additional special
servicing compensation in accordance with Section 3.11(c), Net Default
Charges (after application pursuant to Section 3.27(c)) actually collected
that accrued in respect of the Companion Loans during a period that they
were Specially Serviced Loans or the Loan Group Mortgaged Properties were
REO Properties;
(xii) to pay itself, the Special Servicer, or any of their
respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents,
as the case may be, any amounts payable to any such Person pursuant to
Section 6.03, to the extent such amounts relate to the related Loan Group;
(xiii) to pay for the cost of recording the Co-Lender Agreement and
any required opinion of counsel related thereto and, to the extent
applicable pursuant to Section 11.02(a), the allocable portion of the cost

with respect to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan, to pay its
allocable share (based on the ratio of the Stated Principal Balance of
such Mortgage Loan to the Stated Principal Balance of all the Mortgage
Loans) of any Opinion of Counsel contemplated by Section 11.01(a) or
11.01(c) in connection with any amendment to this Agreement requested by
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that protects or is in
furtherance of the rights and interests of the Certificateholders,
provided that such amendment protects or is in furtherance of the rights
and interests of the Class OEA-B Certificateholders generally to the same
extent as for other Certificateholders;
(xiv) with respect to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Pooled Trust Loan, if
previously purchased by any Person from the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement, to pay such Person all amounts received thereon subsequent to
the date of purchase that have been deposited in the related Loan Group
Custodial Account;
(xv) to pay, in accordance with Section 3.12(e), out of collections
on the related Loan Group on deposit in the related Loan Group Custodial

that servicing expenses that relate solely to a Serviced Companion Loan or
any related REO Loans will be paid solely from funds allocable thereto);
(xvi) to transfer to the Pool Custodial Account all amounts
representing Default Charges actually collected that accrued in respect of
the Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans or any successor REO Mortgage Loans in
respect of the Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans, to the extent such Default
Charges were not applied to offset interest on Advances pursuant to clause
(viii)(B) above (to be applied in accordance with Sections 3.27(a) and
(b)); and
(xvii) to clear and terminate the applicable Loan Group Custodial
Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting
records in connection with each Loan Group Custodial Account, including but not
limited to, any withdrawal from each Loan Group Custodial Account, pursuant to
clauses (ii) through (xvi) above.
The Master Servicer shall pay to each of the Special Servicer (or to
third party contractors at the direction of the Special Servicer), the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, from the applicable Loan Group Custodial
Account, amounts permitted to be paid thereto from such account promptly upon
receipt of a written statement of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer or
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be,
describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer (or such third
party contractor), the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, is
entitled (unless such payment to the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent, as the case may be, is clearly required pursuant to this Agreement, in
which case a written statement is not required). The Master Servicer may rely
conclusively on any such written statement and shall have no duty to
re-calculate the amounts stated therein. The parties seeking payment pursuant to
this Section shall each keep and maintain separate accounting for the purpose of
justifying any request for withdrawal from each Loan Group Custodial Account, on
a loan-by-loan basis.
In the event that the Master Servicer fails, on any Loan Group
Remittance Date, to remit to the Companion Loan Noteholders any amount(s)
required to be so remitted to such Companion Loan Noteholders hereunder by such
date, the Master Servicer shall pay such Companion Loan Noteholders, for the
account of such Companion Loan Noteholders, interest, calculated at the Prime
Rate, on such amount(s) not timely remitted, from and including that Master
Servicer Remittance Date, to but not including the date of remittance.
With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is an
asset of a securitization, in addition to the remittances set forth above under
clause (i), the Master Servicer shall remit any late payment received after any
Loan Group Remittance Date to the related Subsequent Master Servicer (unless the
Master Servicer made a P&I Advance for such late payment, in which case such
payment may be retained by the Master Servicer as reimbursement for such P&I
Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05(A)) within one
Business Day of receipt thereof.
Section 3.06 Investment of Funds in the Servicing Accounts, the
Reserve Accounts, the Defeasance Deposit Account, the Custodial Accounts and the
REO Accounts.
(a) The Master Servicer may direct in writing any depository
institution maintaining a Servicing Account, a Reserve Account, the Defeasance
Deposit Account or a Custodial Account (each, for purposes of this Section 3.06,
an "Investment Account"), and the Special Servicer may direct in writing any
depository institution maintaining an REO Account (also, for purposes of this
Section 3.06, an "Investment Account"), to invest, or if it is such depository
institution, may itself invest, the funds held therein in one or more Permitted
Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable
on demand, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next
succeeding date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement; provided that in the case of any Servicing
Account, any Reserve Account or the Defeasance Deposit Account, such investment
direction shall be subject to the related Loan documents and applicable law.
Funds in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Account will remain uninvested. All such Permitted
Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment
of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in
its capacity as such) and, in the case of a Permitted Investment in any
Investment Account solely related to a Loan Group, the related Companion Loan
Noteholders. The Master Servicer (with respect to Permitted Investments of
amounts in the Servicing Accounts, the Reserve Accounts, the Defeasance Deposit
Account and the Custodial Accounts) and the Special Servicer (with respect to
Permitted Investments of amounts in the REO Accounts), on behalf of the Trustee
and, in the case of any Investment Account solely related to a Loan Group, the
related Companion Loan Noteholders, shall (and the Trustee hereby designates the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, as the Person that
shall) (i) be the "entitlement holder" of any Permitted Investment that is a
"security entitlement" and (ii) maintain "control" of any Permitted Investment
that is a "certificated security," "uncertificated security" or "deposit
account." For purposes of this Section 3.06(a), (i) the terms "entitlement
holder," "security entitlement," "control" (except with respect to deposit
accounts), "certificated security" and "uncertificated security" shall have the
meanings given such terms in Revised Article 8 (1994 Revision) of the UCC, and
the terms "control" (with respect to deposit accounts) and "deposit account"
shall have the meanings given such terms in Revised Article 9 (1998 Revision) of
the UCC, and (ii) "control" of any Permitted Investment in any Investment
Account by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall constitute
"control" by a Person designated by, and acting on behalf of, the Trustee and,
in the case of any Investment Account solely related to a Loan Group, the
related Companion Loan Noteholders, for purposes of Revised Article 8 (1994
Revision) of the UCC or Revised Article 9 (1998 Revision) of the UCC, as
applicable. If amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time
invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (in
the case of the Custodial Accounts, the Servicing Accounts, the Reserve Accounts
and the Defeasance Deposit Account) or the Special Servicer (in the case of the
REO Accounts) shall:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted
Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to at least
the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount
required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted
Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment
Account.
(b) Whether or not the Master Servicer directs the investment of
funds in any of the Servicing Accounts, the Reserve Accounts, the Defeasance
Deposit Account or the Custodial Accounts, interest and investment income
realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment
Earnings, if any, for each such Investment Account for each Collection Period
(and, in the case of Servicing Accounts, Reserve Accounts and the Defeasance
Deposit Account, to the extent not otherwise payable to Mortgagors under
applicable law or the related Loan documents), shall be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal
in accordance with Section 3.03(a), 3.03(d), 3.04(a), 3.05(a) or 3.05A, as
applicable. Whether or not the Special Servicer directs the investment of funds
in either of the REO Accounts, interest and investment income realized on funds
deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for
such Investment Account for each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Special Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal
in accordance with Section 3.17(b). If any loss shall be incurred in respect of
any Permitted Investment on deposit in any Investment Account, the Master
Servicer (in the case of (i) the Servicing Accounts, the Reserve Accounts and
the Defeasance Deposit Account (except to the extent that any investment of
funds with respect thereto is at the direction of a Mortgagor in accordance with
the related Loan documents or applicable law) and (ii) the Custodial Accounts)
and the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Accounts) shall promptly
deposit therein from its own funds, without right of reimbursement, no later
than the end of the Collection Period during which such loss was incurred, the
amount of the Net Investment Loss, if any, for such Investment Account for such
Collection Period. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 3.06, no party shall be required under this Agreement to deposit any
loss on a deposit of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred
solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered
depository institution or trust company with which such deposit was maintained
so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the conditions
set forth in the definition of "Eligible Account" at the time such deposit was
made and also as of a date no earlier than 30 days prior to the insolvency.
(c) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Trustee may, and subject to Section 8.02, upon the request of
Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to a
Class, shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or
performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings.
(d) Notwithstanding the investment of funds held in any Investment
Account, for purposes of the calculations hereunder, including the calculation
of the Available Distribution Amount, the Master Servicer Remittance Amount and
the Loan Group Remittance Amount, the amounts so invested shall be deemed to
remain on deposit in such Investment Account.
Section 3.07 Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions
and Fidelity Coverage; Environmental Insurance.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property (other than the
Mortgaged Property securing the Non-Serviced Loan Groups, which are serviced
under the applicable Lead PSA) that is not an REO Property, all insurance
coverage as is required under the related Mortgage (except to the extent that
the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance
Default); provided that, if and to the extent that any such Mortgage permits the
holder thereof any discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise) as to
the insurance coverage that the related Mortgagor is required to maintain, the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall exercise such
discretion in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard; and provided,
further, that, if and to the extent that a Mortgage so permits, the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts
consistent with the Servicing Standard to require the related Mortgagor to
obtain the required insurance coverage from Qualified Insurers that have a
"claims paying ability" or "financial strength" rating, as applicable, of at
least "A" from S&P, "A" from Fitch Ratings and "A2" by Xxxxx'x (or, in the case
of any such Rating Agency, such lower rating as will not result in an Adverse
Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or any Companion Loan Securities,
as evidenced in writing by such Rating Agency); and provided, further, that the
Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for any such Mortgaged Property
from Qualified Insurers that have a "claims paying ability" or "financial
strength rating," as applicable, of at least "A" from S&P, "A" from Fitch
Ratings and "A2" from Xxxxx'x, any such insurance that the related Mortgagor is
required but fails to maintain, only to the extent that the Trustee (as
mortgagee of record on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a
Loan Group Mortgaged Property, the related Companion Loan Noteholders) has an
insurable interest, and such insurance is available at a commercially reasonable
rate and the subject hazards are at the time commonly insured against by prudent
owners of properties similar to the Mortgaged Property located in or around the
region in which such Mortgaged Property is located.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, will not be required to maintain (in the case of the
Special Servicer, with respect any REO Property), and shall not cause a
Mortgagor to be in default with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor
to obtain, all-risk casualty insurance that does not contain any carve-out for
terrorist or similar acts, if, and only if, (1) the Special Servicer has
determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that either (a) such
insurance is not available at any rate, or (b) such insurance is not available
at commercially reasonable rates and that such hazards are not at the time
commonly insured against for properties similar to the Mortgaged Property and
located in or around the region in which such Mortgaged Property is located; and
(2) the Special Servicer has obtained the consent or deemed consent of the
Directing Holder or its representative in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6.11. The requirement of the Special Servicer to obtain the consent of
the Directing Holder shall be subject to the following limitations: (a) the
Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain the consent of the Directing
Holder or its representative if such consent would cause the Special Servicer to
violate the Servicing Standard, (b) the Directing Holder's consent shall be
deemed to have been given if it has not responded within ten Business Days of
receipt of the Special Servicer's written recommendation and the information
upon which such recommendation is based, and (c) upon the Special Servicer's
determination, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that exigent
circumstances do not allow the Special Servicer to consult with the Directing
Holder, the Special Servicer will not be required to do so.
During the period in which the Special Servicer is evaluating such
terrorism insurance coverage hereunder, the Master Servicer shall not be liable
for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain
terrorism insurance and shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder as
a result of such failure, provided that the Master Servicer has given prompt
notice to the Special Servicer of its determination that it will not be
successful in its efforts to cause the Mortgagor to obtain such insurance, along
with its determination, and any information in its possession, regarding the
availability and cost of such insurance. The Special Servicer shall be required
to promptly notify the Master Servicer of each determination made under the two
preceding paragraphs.
Any Controlling Class Certificateholder or, in the case of a Loan
Group, the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan (and/or in the case
of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the Class OEA-B Majority Holder), may
request that earthquake insurance be secured for one or more Mortgaged
Properties by the related Mortgagor, to the extent such insurance may reasonably
be obtained and, provided the related Loan documents and applicable law give the
mortgagee the right to request such insurance coverage and such Loan documents
require the Mortgagor to obtain earthquake insurance at the request of the
mortgagee.
Subject to Section 3.18(a), the Special Servicer, in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, shall also cause to be maintained for each REO Property
no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under
the related Mortgage (including insurance that covers losses arising from acts
of terrorism); provided that such insurance is available at commercially
reasonable rates and the subject hazards are at the time commonly insured
against by prudent owners of properties similar to the REO Property located in
or around the region in which such REO Property is located (or, in the case of
all-risk insurance or other insurance that covers acts of terrorism, such
insurance is available at a commercially reasonable rate or the subject hazards
are at the time commonly insured against by prudent owners of properties similar
to the REO Property located in or around the region in which such REO Property
is located); and provided, further, that all such insurance shall be obtained
from Qualified Insurers that, if they are providing casualty insurance, shall
have a "claims paying ability" or "financial strength" rating, as applicable, of
at least "A" from S&P, "A" from Fitch Ratings and "A2" from Xxxxx'x (or, in the
case of either Rating Agency, such lower rating as will not result in an Adverse
Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or any Companion Loan Securities,
as evidenced in writing by such Rating Agency). All such insurance policies
shall contain (if they insure against loss to property and do not relate to an
REO Property) a "standard" mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master
Servicer (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Loans, including
Specially Serviced Loans), or the Special Servicer (in the case of insurance
maintained in respect of REO Properties), on behalf of the Trustee; and, in each
case, such insurance shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer. Any amounts
collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such policies
(other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related
Mortgagor, in each case subject to the rights of any tenants and ground lessors,
as the case may be, and in each case in accordance with the terms of the related
Mortgage and the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the applicable
Custodial Account in accordance with Section 3.04(a) or 3.04A(a), as the case
may be, in the case of amounts received in respect of a Loan, or in the
applicable REO Account in accordance with Section 3.17(b), in the case of
amounts received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance (including
any earthquake insurance maintained at the request of a Controlling Class
Certificateholder or the related Companion Loan Noteholders or Class OEA-B
Majority Holder) shall not, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance or
Stated Principal Balance of the related Loan or REO Loan, notwithstanding that
the terms of such loan so permit, but shall be recoverable by the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
(b) If either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall
obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy
insuring against hazard losses on all of the Serviced Loans and/or REO
Properties that it is required to service and administer, then, to the extent
such policy (i) is obtained from a Qualified Insurer having (or whose
obligations are guaranteed or backed, in writing, by an entity having) a "claims
paying ability" or "financial strength" rating, as applicable, of at least "A"
from S&P, "A" from Fitch Ratings and "A3" from Xxxxx'x (if then rated by
Xxxxx'x, and if not then rated by Xxxxx'x, then a rating of at least "A" by S&P)
(or, in the case of each Rating Agency, such lower rating as will not result in
an Adverse Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or any Companion Loan
Securities, as evidenced in writing by such Rating Agency), and (ii) provides
protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be
deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard insurance to be
maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties and/or REO Properties. Such
blanket policy may contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary
amount), in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
appropriate, shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related
Mortgaged Property or REO Property an individual hazard insurance policy
complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been
one or more losses that would have been covered by such individual policy,
promptly deposit into the applicable Custodial Account from its own funds the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of the deductible
clause therein, to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible
limitation that pertained to the related Loan (or in the absence of any such
deductible limitation, the deductible limitation for an individual policy which
is consistent with the Servicing Standard). The Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as appropriate, shall prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the
Trustee and the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Loan Group Mortgaged
Property, the related Companion Loan Noteholders, claims under any such blanket
policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
(c) Subject to the third paragraph of this Section 3.07(c), each of
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall at all times during the term
of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during
the term of this Agreement in which Specially Serviced Loans and/or REO
Properties are part of the Trust Fund) keep in force with Qualified Insurers
having (or whose obligations are guaranteed or backed, in writing, by entities
having) a "claims paying ability" or "financial strength" rating, as applicable,
of at least "A" from S&P, "A" from Fitch Ratings and "A2" from Xxxxx'x (or, if
not then rated by Xxxxx'x, then at least "A:IX" by A.M. Best's Key Rating Guide)
(or, in the case of either Rating Agency, such lower rating as will not result
in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or Companion Loan
Securities, as evidenced in writing by such Rating Agency), a fidelity bond,
which fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount as would permit it to be a
qualified Xxxxxx Xxx seller-servicer of multifamily mortgage loans, or in such
other form and amount as would not cause an Adverse Rating Event with respect to
the Certificates or Companion Loan Securities (as evidenced in writing from each
Rating Agency). Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be
deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has
such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be.
Subject to the third paragraph of this Section 3.07(c), each of the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall at all times during the term of
this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the
term of this Agreement in which Specially Serviced Loans and/or REO Properties
are part of the Trust Fund) also keep in force with Qualified Insurers having
(or whose obligations are guaranteed or backed, in writing, by entities having)
a "claims paying ability" or "financial strength" rating, as applicable, of at
least "A" from S&P, "A" from Fitch Ratings and "A2" from Xxxxx'x (or, if not
then rated by Xxxxx'x, then at least "A:IX" by A.M. Best's Key Rating Guide)
(or, in the case of either Rating Agency, such lower rating as will not result
in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or Companion Loan
Securities, as evidenced in writing by such Rating Agency), a policy or policies
of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its
officers, employees and agents in connection with its servicing obligations
hereunder, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount as would
permit it to be a qualified Xxxxxx Xxx seller-servicer of multifamily mortgage
loans, or in such other form and amount as would not cause an Adverse Rating
Event with respect to the Certificates or Companion Loan Securities (as
evidenced in writing from each Rating Agency). Each of the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing
provisions if an Affiliate thereof has such insurance and, by the terms of such
policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the long-term debt
obligations of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, are
rated at least "AA-" from Fitch Ratings, "A2" from Xxxxx'x (if then rated by
Xxxxx'x, and if not then rated by Xxxxx'x, then an equivalent rating by at least
one additional nationally recognized statistical rating agency besides S&P) and
"A" from S&P (or, in the case of any such Rating Agency, such lower rating as
will not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or
any Companion Loan Securities, as evidenced in writing by such Rating Agency),
such Person may self-insure with respect to the risks described in this Section
3.07(c).
(d) In the event that either of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer has actual knowledge of any event (an "Insured Environmental Event")
giving rise to a claim under any Environmental Insurance Policy in respect of
any Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgagor has not filed
a claim or in respect of an REO Property, the Master Servicer shall notify the
Special Servicer if such Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, and the Special
Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in all cases. Upon becoming aware of
such Insured Environmental Event, the Master Servicer, in the case of a
Performing Serviced Loan, and the Special Servicer, in the case of a Specially
Serviced Loan or an REO Property, in accordance with the terms of such
Environmental Insurance Policy and the Servicing Standard, shall timely make a
claim thereunder with the appropriate insurer and shall take such other actions
necessary under such Environmental Insurance Policy in order to realize the full
value thereof for the benefit of the Certificateholders. With respect to each
Environmental Insurance Policy in respect of an Environmentally Insured Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer (in the case of any such Loan that is a Performing
Serviced Loan) and the Special Servicer (in the case of any such Loan that is a
Specially Serviced Loan or in the case of an REO Property) shall each review and
familiarize itself with the terms and conditions relating to enforcement of
claims and shall, in the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has
actual knowledge of an Insured Environmental Event giving rise to a claim under
such policy, monitor the dates by which any claim must be made or any action
must be taken under such policy to realize the full value thereof for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Master Servicer (in the case of Performing Serviced Loans) and
the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Loans and REO
Properties) shall each abide by the terms and conditions precedent to payment of
claims under the Environmental Insurance Policies with respect to the
Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loans and take all such actions as may be
required to comply with the terms and provisions of such policies in order to
maintain such policies in full force and effect and to make claims thereunder.
In the event that either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
receives notice of a termination of any Environmental Insurance Policy with
respect to an Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loan, then the party receiving
such notice shall, within five Business Days after receipt thereof, provide
written notice of such termination to the other such party and the Trustee. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Master Servicer, with respect to a Performing
Serviced Loan, or the Special Servicer, with respect to a Specially Serviced
Loan or an REO Property, shall address such termination in accordance with
Section 3.07(a). Any legal fees, premiums or other out-of-pocket costs incurred
in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with enforcing the
obligations of the Mortgagor under any Environmental Insurance Policy or a
resolution of such termination of an Environmental Insurance Policy shall be
paid by the Master Servicer and shall be reimbursable to it as a Servicing
Advance.
The Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) and
the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall monitor
the actions, and enforce the obligations, of the related Mortgagor under each
Environmentally Insured Mortgage Loan insofar as such actions/obligations relate
to (i) to the extent consistent with Section 3.07(a), the maintenance
(including, without limitation, any required renewal) of an Environmental
Insurance Policy with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or (ii)
environmental testing or remediation at the related Mortgaged Property.
Section 3.08 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale and Due on Encumbrance
Provisions.
(a) If, with respect to any Performing Serviced Loan, the Master
Servicer receives a request from a Mortgagor regarding (1) the transfer of the
related Mortgaged Property to another Person, (2) the assumption of such Loan by
another Person or (3) the transfer of certain interests in such Mortgagor to
another Person, then the Master Servicer shall promptly obtain relevant
information for purposes of evaluating such request. If the Master Servicer
determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (A) to approve such transfer
and/or assumption or (B) that for any Performing Serviced Loan that, pursuant to
its respective loan documents, may be transferred or assumed without the consent
of the lender, provided certain conditions are satisfied, that such conditions
are satisfied, then the Master Servicer shall promptly provide to the Special
Servicer a written copy of such recommendation or determination (which shall
include the reason therefor) and the materials upon which such recommendation or
determination is based. The Special Servicer shall have the right hereunder,
within 15 days of receipt of such recommendation or determination and supporting
materials and any other materials reasonably requested by the Special Servicer
to reasonably withhold or grant consent to any such request for such transfer
and/or assumption or determination in accordance with the terms of the Loan and
this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard; provided
that any grant of consent on the part of the Special Servicer shall be subject
to Section 3.08(d) and Section 6.11. If the Special Servicer does not respond
within such 15-day period, the Special Servicer's consent shall be deemed
granted. If the Special Servicer consents or is deemed to have consented to such
proposed transfer and/or assumption or determination, then the Master Servicer
(subject to Section 3.08(d)) shall process the request of the related Mortgagor
and is hereby authorized to enter into an assumption or substitution agreement
with the proposed transferee/assignee, which shall be a Single Purpose Entity,
and/or release the original Mortgagor from liability under the related Loan.
Subject to Sections 3.21 and 6.11, the following additional terms
and conditions apply to any determination made pursuant to the prior paragraph:
(i) the Master Servicer may not enter into any assumption or
substitution agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would
result in an Adverse REMIC Event or Adverse Grantor Trust Event;
(ii) the Master Servicer may not enter into any assumption or
substitution agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would
create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on
parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage;
(iii) the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the
Special Servicer, each Rating Agency and, in the case of a Serviced
Loan Group, the related Companion Loan Noteholder, of any assumption
or substitution agreement executed pursuant to this Section 3.08(a)
and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement, together with
copies of all relevant documentation;
(iv) subject to the terms of the related Loan documents, no
assumption of a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan may be made
without the assumption of all other Mortgage Loans making up the
related Cross-Collateralized Group and no assumption of any Loan in
a Loan Group may be made without the assumption of all Loans in such
Loan Group; and
(v) subject to the terms of the related Loan documents and
applicable law, no assumption of a Loan shall be made or transfer of
interest in a Mortgagor approved, unless all costs in connection
therewith, including any arising from seeking Rating Agency
confirmation, are paid by the related Mortgagor.
If the Special Servicer does not consent to, or is not deemed to
have consented to, such transfer and/or assumption or determination, then the
Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee (as mortgagee of record on behalf of
the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property relating to a
Loan Group, the related Companion Loan Noteholder) shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, enforce such transferability and assumption
restrictions.
(b) If, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer receives a request from a Mortgagor regarding
(1) the transfer of the related Mortgaged Property to another Person, (2) the
assumption of such Loan by another Person or (3) the transfer of certain
interests in such Mortgagor to another Person, the Master Servicer (if the
Master Servicer is the party that received the request from the Mortgagor) shall
promptly notify the Special Servicer of such request and the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Special Servicer the Mortgage File (or a copy thereof) and
such other documents that the Master Servicer shall have received regarding the
proposed transfer and/or assumption. The Master Servicer shall only be required
to deliver the foregoing items to the extent in its possession and to the extent
such items have not already been delivered to the Special Servicer. If the
Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to approve
such transfer and/or assumption, or that for any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan
Group that, pursuant to its respective loan documents, may be transferred or
assumed without the consent of the lender, provided certain conditions are
satisfied, that such conditions are satisfied, the Special Servicer, subject to
Section 3.08(d) and Section 6.11, shall process the request of the related
Mortgagor and is hereby authorized to enter into an assumption or substitution
agreement with the proposed transferee/assignee, which shall be a Single Purpose
Entity, and/or release the original Mortgagor from liability under the related
Loan.
Subject to Section 3.21 and Section 6.11, the following additional
terms and conditions apply to any determination made pursuant to the prior
paragraph:
(i) the Special Servicer may not enter into any assumption or
substitution agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would
result in an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event;
(ii) the Special Servicer may not enter into any assumption or
substitution agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would
create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on
parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage;
(iii) the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Loan
Group, the related Companion Loan Noteholders of any assumption or
substitution agreement executed pursuant to this Section 3.08(b) and
shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement;
(iv) subject to the terms of the related Loan documents, no
assumption of a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan shall be made
without the assumption of all other Mortgage Loans making up the
related Cross-Collateralized Group and no assumption of any Loan in
a Loan Group may be made without the assumption of all Loans in such
Loan Group; and
(v) subject to the terms of the related Loan documents and
applicable law, no assumption of a Loan shall be made unless all
costs in connection therewith, including any arising from seeking
Rating Agency confirmation, are paid by the related Mortgagor.
(c) If, with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan, the Master
Servicer receives a request from the Mortgagor regarding a further encumbrance
of the related Mortgaged Property or interests in the related Mortgagor, then
the Master Servicer shall promptly obtain relevant information for purposes of
evaluating such request. If the Master Servicer determines, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, (A) to approve such further encumbrance or (B) that for any
Performing Serviced Loan that, pursuant to its respective loan documents,
permits further encumbrances without the consent of the lender, provided certain
conditions are satisfied, that such conditions are satisfied, then the Master
Servicer shall provide to the Special Servicer a written copy of such
recommendation or determination (which shall include the reason therefor) and
the materials upon which such recommendation or determination is based. The
Special Servicer shall have the right hereunder, within 15 days of receipt of
such recommendation or determination and supporting materials and any other
materials reasonably requested by the Special Servicer, to reasonably withhold
or, subject to Section 3.08(d) and Section 6.11, grant consent to any such
request for such further encumbrance of the related Mortgaged Property. If the
Special Servicer does not respond within such 15-day period, the Special
Servicer's consent shall be deemed granted. If the Special Servicer consents or
is deemed to have consented to such further encumbrance of the related Mortgaged
Property, the Master Servicer shall process such request of the related
Mortgagor.
If the Special Servicer does not consent to, and is not deemed to
have consented to, such further encumbrance or determination, then the Master
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee (as mortgagee of record on behalf of the
Certificateholders and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property that relates to a
Loan Group, the related Companion Loan Noteholder) shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, enforce the restrictions contained in the related
Loan documents on further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property or
interests in the related Mortgagor.
If, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer receives a request from a Mortgagor regarding a further
encumbrance of the related Mortgaged Property or interests in the related
Mortgagor, the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is the party that
received such notice from the Mortgagor) shall promptly notify the Special
Servicer of such request and the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Special
Servicer the Mortgage File (or a copy thereof) and such other documents that the
Master Servicer shall have received regarding the proposed encumbrance. The
Master Servicer shall only be required to deliver the foregoing items to the
extent in its possession and to the extent such items have not already been
delivered to the Special Servicer. If the Special Servicer determines,
consistent with the Servicing Standard, to approve such encumbrance or that for
any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Group that, pursuant to its respective loan
documents, permits further encumbrances without the consent of the lender,
provided certain conditions are satisfied, that such conditions are satisfied,
the Special Servicer shall process the request of the related Mortgagor.
With respect to any Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer
on behalf of the Trustee (as mortgagee of record on behalf of the
Certificateholders and, in the case of a Loan Group Mortgaged Property, the
related Companion Loan Noteholders) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, enforce the restrictions contained in the related Loan documents on further
encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property or interests in the related
Mortgagor, and process all documentation in connection therewith, unless the
Special Servicer has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, that
waiver of such restrictions would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard
(as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate setting forth the basis for such
determination delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency
and, with respect to a Loan Group, the related Companion Loan Noteholder);
provided that any such waiver of such restrictions shall be subject to Section
3.08(d) and Section 6.11.
(d) In addition to the terms and conditions set forth above in this
Section 3.08,
(i) neither the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced
Loans) nor the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans) may waive any restrictions contained in the related
Mortgage on transfers of the related Mortgaged Property or on transfers of
interests in the related Mortgagor unless:
(A) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, has received prior written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that such action would not result in an Adverse Rating Event
with respect to the Certificates or any Companion Loan Securities;
or
(B) the related Mortgage Loan (1) represents less than 2% of
the principal balance of all of the Pooled Mortgage Loans (or, if
the aggregate principal balance of all the Pooled Mortgage Loans is
less than $100 million, represents less than 5% of the principal
balance of all Pooled Mortgage Loans), (2) has a principal balance
that is equal to or less than $20,000,000 and (3) is not one of the
10 largest Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool based on principal
balance.
(ii) neither the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing
Serviced Loans) nor the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans) may waive any restrictions contained in the
related Mortgage on further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property
or interests in the related Mortgagor unless:
(A) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, has received prior written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that such action would not result in an Adverse Rating Event
with respect to the Certificates or any Companion Loan Securities;
(B) the related Mortgage Loan (A) represents less than 2% the
principal balance of all of the Pooled Mortgage Loans, (B) has a
principal balance that is equal to or less than $20,000,000, (C) is
not one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in the Mortgage Pool based
on principal balance, (D) does not have an aggregate loan-to-value
ratio (including existing and proposed additional debt) that is
equal to or greater than 85%, and (E) does not have an aggregate
debt service coverage ratio (including the debt service on the
existing and proposed additional debt) that is equal to or less than
1.2x to 1.0x; or
(C) the encumbrance relates to the grant of an easement,
right-of-way or similar encumbrance that the Special Servicer
determines will not have a material adverse impact on the value, use
or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the ability of the
borrower to perform its obligations under the Loan.
In connection with any request for rating confirmation from a Rating
Agency pursuant to this Section 3.08(d), the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver its written analysis and
recommendation (in accordance with the Servicing Standard) with respect to the
matters that are the subject thereof, and copies of all relevant supporting
documentation to such Rating Agency. Further, subject to the terms of the
related Loan documents and applicable law, no waiver of a restriction contained
in the related Mortgage on transfers of the related Mortgaged Property or
interests in the related Mortgagor or on further encumbrances thereof may be
waived by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, unless all
costs in connection therewith, including any arising from seeking Rating Agency
confirmation, are paid by the related Mortgagor. To the extent not collected
from the related Mortgagor, any rating agency charges in connection with the
foregoing shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
(e) To the extent permitted by the applicable Loan documents and
applicable law, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may charge the related
Mortgagor (and retain or share such fee in accordance with Section 3.11) a fee
in connection with any enforcement or waiver contemplated in this Section 3.08.
Section 3.09 Realization Upon Defaulted Loans; Required Appraisals;
Appraisal Reduction Calculation.
(a) The Special Servicer shall, subject to Sections 3.09(b),
3.09(c), 3.09(d) and 6.11, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of properties securing such of the Specially Serviced Loans as come
into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be
made for collection of delinquent payments, including pursuant to Section 3.21.
Subject to Section 3.12(d) and Section 3.20(d), the Special Servicer shall
advance all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings, and shall
be entitled to reimbursement therefor as provided in Section 3.05(a) or Section
3.05A, as applicable. The Special Servicer shall be responsible, consistent with
the Servicing Standard, for determining whether to exercise any rights it may
have under the cross-collateralization and/or cross-default provisions of a
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall
be construed so as to require the Special Servicer, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and, in the case of a Loan Group Mortgaged Property, on
behalf of the related Companion Loan Noteholders, to make a bid on any Mortgaged
Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the
fair market value of such property, as determined by the Special Servicer in its
reasonable and good faith judgment taking into account the factors described in
Section 3.19 and the results of any appraisal obtained as provided below in this
Section 3.09, all such bids to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing
Standard.
If and when the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer deems it
necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any
Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced Loan, whether for purposes of
bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, it may have an appraisal performed with
respect to such property by an Independent Appraiser or other expert in real
estate matters, which appraisal shall take into account the factors specified in
Section 3.19, and the cost of which appraisal shall be covered by, and be
reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance; provided that if the Master Servicer
intends to obtain an appraisal in connection with the foregoing, the Master
Servicer shall so notify the Special Servicer and consult with the Special
Servicer regarding such appraisal.
If any Serviced Loan becomes a Required Appraisal Loan, then the
Special Servicer shall (i) obtain or conduct, as applicable, a Required
Appraisal within 60 days of such Serviced Loan's becoming a Required Appraisal
Loan (unless a Required Appraisal was obtained or conducted, as applicable, with
respect to such Required Appraisal Loan within the prior 12 months and the
Special Servicer reasonably believes, in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
that no material change has subsequently occurred with respect to the related
Mortgaged Property that would draw into question the applicability of such
Required Appraisal) and (ii) obtain or conduct, as applicable, an update of the
most recent Required Appraisal approximately 12 months following the most recent
Required Appraisal or subsequent update thereof for so long as such Serviced
Loan or any successor REO Loan, as the case may be, remains a Required Appraisal
Loan. The Special Servicer shall deliver copies of all such Required Appraisals
and updated Required Appraisals to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, in the case
of a Loan Group Mortgaged Property, the related Companion Loan Noteholder, and
in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group Mortgaged Property, the Holders
of the Class OEA-B Certificates, in each such case, promptly following the
Special Servicer's receipt of the subject appraisal, and to the Controlling
Class Directing Holder upon request, and based thereon, the Special Servicer
shall calculate and notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Controlling
Class Directing Holder, with respect to a Loan Group, the related Companion Loan
Noteholders, and with respect to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the Holder of
the Class OEA-B Certificates, of any resulting Appraisal Reduction Amount. Such
calculations by the Special Servicer shall be subject to review and confirmation
by the Master Servicer, provided that the Master Servicer may rely on any
information provided by the Special Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall, at the direction of the Special Servicer,
advance the cost of each such Required Appraisal and updated Required Appraisal;
provided, however, that such expense will be subject to reimbursement to the
Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance out of the related Custodial Account
pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or Section 3.05A. At any time that an Appraisal
Reduction Amount exists with respect to any Required Appraisal Loan, the
applicable Directing Holder (without giving effect to any Control Appraisal
Event which may have been triggered by the most recent Appraisal Reduction
Amount) may, at its own expense, direct the Special Servicer to obtain and
deliver to the Master Servicer, the Directing Holder and the Trustee an
appraisal that satisfies the requirements of a "Required Appraisal," and upon
the written request of the applicable Directing Holder, if such new appraisal
materially differs from the previously obtained Required Appraisal, the Special
Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of such
Required Appraisal Loan based on the appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer
and shall notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the applicable Directing
Holder of such recalculated Appraisal Reduction Amount.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
Mortgaged Property shall be acquired by the Special Servicer on behalf of the
Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Loan Group Mortgaged Property, the
related Companion Loan Noteholders) under such circumstances, in such manner or
pursuant to such terms as would, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the
Special Servicer (exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard), (i)
cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (unless the portion of such
Mortgaged Property that is not treated as "foreclosure property" and that is
held by the applicable Loan REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC at any given time
constitutes not more than a de minimis amount of the assets of such Loan REMIC
or the Lower-Tier REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860D-1(b)(3)(i) and (ii)), or (ii) except as permitted by Section 3.18(a),
subject the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes under the
Code. Subject to the foregoing, however, a Mortgaged Property may be acquired
through a single member limited liability company if the Special Servicer
determines that such an action is appropriate to protect the Trust and/or any
related Companion Loan Noteholder from potential liability.
In addition, the Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal
property pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:
(i) such personal property is, in the reasonable, good faith
judgment of the Special Servicer (exercised in accordance with the
Servicing Standard), incident to real property (within the meaning of
Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or
(ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel
(the cost of which shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a
Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal
property as part of the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax
on either REMIC Pool or any Loan REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause
either REMIC Pool or any Loan REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09,
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the
Trustee (and, in the case of a Loan Group Mortgaged Property, on behalf of the
related Companion Loan Noteholders), obtain title to a Mortgaged Property by
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action
with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the
Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Loan Group
Mortgaged Property, the related Companion Loan Noteholders), could, in the
reasonable, good faith judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, be considered to hold title to, to be a
"mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law (a
"potentially responsible party"), unless such action is consistent with Section
6.11 and the Special Servicer has previously determined (as evidenced by an
Officer's Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee (and, in the case
of a Loan Group Mortgaged Property, the related Companion Loan Noteholders, and
in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the Holders of the Class OEA-B
Certificates) that shall specify all of the bases for such determination), in
accordance with the Servicing Standard and based on an Environmental Assessment
of such Mortgaged Property performed by an Independent Person, who regularly
conducts Environmental Assessments, within six months prior to any such
acquisition of title or other action (a copy of which Environmental Assessment
shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and, in the case of a
Loan Group Mortgaged Property, the related Companion Loan Noteholders, and in
the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the Holders of the Class OEA-B
Certificates), that:
(i) the Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws and regulations or, if not, that it would (taking into
account the coverage provided under any related Environmental Insurance
Policy) maximize the recovery on the related Serviced Loan to the
Certificateholders (as a collective whole) (or, if a Loan Group is
involved, would maximize the recovery on such Loan Group to the
Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Noteholders (as a
collective whole)), on a present value basis (the relevant discounting of
anticipated collections that will be distributable to Certificateholders
(or, in the case of a Loan Group, to Certificateholders and the related
Companion Loan Noteholders) to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate
(or, in the case of any Loan Group, at the weighted average of the
Mortgage Rates for such Loan Group)) in each case) to acquire title to or
possession of the Mortgaged Property and to take such actions as are
necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith in all
material respects; and
(ii) there are no circumstances or conditions present at the
Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of
Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring,
containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any
applicable environmental laws and regulations or, if such circumstances or
conditions are present for which any such action could reasonably be
expected to be required, that it would (taking into account the coverage
provided under any related Environmental Insurance Policy) maximize the
recovery on the related Serviced Loan to the Certificateholders (as a
collective whole) (or, if a Loan Group is involved, would maximize the
recovery of such Loan Group to the Certificateholders and the related
Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole)), on a present value
basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated collections that will be
distributable to Certificateholders (or, in the case of a Loan Group, to
Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Noteholders) to be
performed at the related Mortgage Rate (or, in the case of any Loan Group,
at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates for such Loan Group), in
each case, to acquire title to or possession of the Mortgaged Property and
to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
The Special Servicer shall, in good faith, undertake reasonable
efforts to make the determination referred to in the preceding paragraph and may
conclusively rely on the Environmental Assessment referred to above in making
such determination. The cost of any such Environmental Assessment shall be
covered by, and reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance; and if any such
Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Special Servicer shall perform or
cause to be performed such additional environmental testing as it deems
necessary and prudent to determine whether the conditions described in clauses
(i) and (ii) of the preceding paragraph have been satisfied (the cost of any
such additional testing also to be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Servicing
Advance). The cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action
contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph, shall
be payable out of the related Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05 or
Section 3.05A, as applicable (or, in the case of a Loan Group, to the extent the
funds in the applicable Loan Group Custodial Account are insufficient, shall be
advanced by the Master Servicer).
(d) If the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.09(c)
above establishes that any of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii)
of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any
Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer
shall take such action as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (other
than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property). At such time as it deems
appropriate, the Special Servicer may, on behalf of the Trust (and, if a
Companion Loan is affected, the related Companion Loan Noteholders), subject to
Section 6.11, release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien
of the related Mortgage.
(e) The Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer, the
Underwriters, the Trustee, and if a Loan Group is affected, the related
Companion Loan Noteholders (and if the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group is affected,
the Holders of the Class OEA-B Certificates) monthly in writing as to any
actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property
that represents security for a defaulted Serviced Loan as to which the
environmental testing contemplated in Section 3.09(c) above has revealed that
any of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence
thereof has not been satisfied, in each case until the earlier to occur of
satisfaction of all such conditions and release of the lien of the related
Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.
(f) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of seeking to obtain a
deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and
the terms of the affected Serviced Loan permit such an action, and shall, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, seek such deficiency judgment if it
deems advisable (the cost of which undertaking shall be covered by, and be
reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance).
(g) The Master Servicer shall, with the reasonable cooperation of
the Special Servicer, prepare and file information returns with respect to the
receipt of mortgage interest received with respect to any Serviced Loan required
by Section 6050H of the Code and, as to any Serviced Loan, the reports of
foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the information
returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any
Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050J and 6050P of the Code. Such
reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
(h) As soon as the Special Servicer makes a Final Recovery
Determination with respect to any Serviced Loan or REO Property, it shall
promptly notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer and, if a Loan Group is
affected, the related Companion Loan Noteholders (and if the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Loan Group is affected, the Holders of the Class OEA-B Certificates). The
Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by a Servicing
Officer, of each such Final Recovery Determination (if any) and the basis
thereof. Each such Final Recovery Determination (if any) shall be evidenced by
an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and, if a
Loan Group is affected, the related Companion Loan Noteholders (and if the 000
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group is affected, the Holders of the Class OEA-B
Certificates), no later than the seventh Business Day following such Final
Recovery Determination.
Section 3.10 Trustee and Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Serviced Loan, or the receipt by
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of a notification that payment in
full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee (and, in the
case of a Companion Loan, the related Companion Loan Noteholders (and in the
case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the Holders of the Class OEA-B
Certificates)) by a certification (which certification shall be in the form of a
Request for Release in the form of Exhibit D-1 attached hereto and shall be
accompanied by the form of a release or discharge and shall include a statement
to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with
such payment which are required to be deposited in the appropriate Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or 3.04A(a), as applicable, have been or
will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer (a copy of which certification
shall be delivered to the Special Servicer) and shall request delivery to it of
the related Mortgage File and, in the case of a Companion Loan, the original of
the Mortgage Note for such Companion Loan. Upon receipt of such certification
and request, the Trustee shall release, or cause any related Custodian to
release, the related Mortgage File (and, in the case of a Companion Loan, the
Master Servicer shall cause the related Companion Loan Noteholders to release
the Mortgage Note for such Companion Loan) to the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer and shall deliver to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, such release or discharge, duly executed. No expenses incurred in
connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be
chargeable to the Distribution Account or any Custodial Account.
(b) If from time to time, and as appropriate for servicing or
foreclosure of any Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
shall otherwise require any Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) (or the
original of the Mortgage Note for the Companion Loans), the Trustee, upon
request of the Master Servicer and receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request
for Release in the form of Exhibit D-1 attached hereto signed by a Servicing
Officer thereof, or upon request of the Special Servicer and receipt from the
Special Servicer of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit D-2 attached
hereto, shall release, or cause any related Custodian to release, such Mortgage
File (or such portion thereof) (and, in the case of the Companion Loans, the
Master Servicer shall cause the related Companion Loan Noteholders to release
the original of the Mortgage Note for such Companion Loan) to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Upon return of such
Mortgage File (or such portion thereof) (or such original Mortgage Note for the
related Companion Loans) to the Trustee or related Custodian (or to the related
Companion Loan Noteholders), or the delivery to the Trustee (or to the related
Companion Loan Noteholders) of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the
Special Servicer stating that such Serviced Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are
required to be deposited into the related Custodial Account pursuant to Section
3.04(a) or 3.04A(a), as applicable, have been or will be so deposited, or that
the related Mortgaged Property has become an REO Property, the Request for
Release shall be released by the Trustee or related Custodian to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.
(c) Within seven Business Days (or within such shorter period (but
no less than three Business Days) as execution and delivery can reasonably be
accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee (and, in the case of a
Loan Group Mortgaged Property, the related Companion Loan Noteholders) of an
exigency) of the Special Servicer's request therefor, the Trustee shall execute
and deliver to the Special Servicer (or the Special Servicer may execute and
deliver in the name of the Trustee (on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in
the case of a Loan Group Mortgaged Property, also on behalf of the related
Companion Loan Noteholders) based on a limited power of attorney issued in favor
of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01(b)), in the form supplied to
the Trustee, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents
stated by the Special Servicer to be reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or
trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to
obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in
equity or to defend any legal action or counterclaim filed against the Trust
Fund, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Companion Loan
Noteholders. Together with such documents or pleadings, the Special Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee (and, in the case of a Loan Group Mortgaged
Property, the related Companion Loan Noteholders) a certificate of a Servicing
Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee
and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and
that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee (on behalf of the
Certificateholders and, in the case of a Loan Group Mortgaged Property, also on
behalf of the related Companion Loan Noteholders) will not invalidate or
otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a
lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale. 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) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually
causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.
Section 3.11 Servicing Compensation; Payment of Expenses.
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Master Servicing Fee with respect to
each Loan (other than the Non-Serviced Companion Loans but including the
Non-Serviced Trust Loans), including each Specially Serviced Loan, and each REO
Loan. As to each Loan (other than the Non-Serviced Companion Loans but including
the Non-Serviced Trust Loans) and REO Loan, the Master Servicing Fee shall: (i)
accrue from time to time at the related Master Servicing Fee Rate on the same
principal amount as interest accrues from time to time on such Loan or is deemed
to accrue from time to time on such REO Loan; and (ii) be calculated on a 30/360
Basis (or, in the case of the Companion Loans and any related REO Loans, on an
Actual/360 Basis) (or, in the event that a Principal Prepayment in full or other
Liquidation Event shall occur with respect to any such Loan or REO Loan on a
date that is not a Due Date, on the basis of the actual number of days to elapse
from and including the most recently preceding related Due Date to but excluding
the date of such Principal Prepayment or Liquidation Event in a month consisting
of 30 days). The Master Servicing Fee with respect to any such Loan or REO Loan
shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. Earned
but unpaid Master Servicing Fees shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan
basis, from payments of interest on each such Loan and REO Revenues allocable as
interest on each such REO Loan. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover
unpaid Master Servicing Fees in respect of any such Loan or REO Loan out of that
portion of related Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds allocable as recoveries of interest, to the extent permitted by Section
3.05(a) or Section 3.05A(a), as applicable. The right to receive the Master
Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection
with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) Net Default
Charges, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, amounts collected for
checks returned for insufficient funds, and any similar fees (excluding
Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges), in each case to the extent
actually paid by a Mortgagor with respect to any Serviced Loan and accrued
during the time that such Serviced Loan was not a Specially Serviced Loan, (ii)
100% of each modification fee or extension fee actually paid by a Mortgagor with
respect to a modification, consent, extension, waiver or amendment agreed to by
the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.21(c) (except that the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to only 50% of each modification fee or extension fee actually
paid by the Mortgagor with respect to a modification, consent, waiver or
amendment agreed to by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement if the
approval or consent of the Special Servicer (or the Directing Holder with
respect to an extension of maturity granted pursuant to Section 3.21(c)) was
required in connection therewith) and 100% of any fee actually paid by a
Mortgagor in connection with a defeasance of a Serviced Loan as contemplated
under Section 3.21(k), and (iii) 50% of any and all assumption fees and 100% of
any and all assumption application fees up to $5,000 in connection with each
assumption, transfer or substitution and 50% of the excess, if any, of the
assumption application fees received with respect to each assumption, transfer
or substitution over $5,000, in each case, actually paid by a Mortgagor in
accordance with the related Loan documents, with respect to any agreement
regarding the transfer of a Mortgaged Property or any assumption or substitution
agreement entered into by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust (or, in the
case of a Loan Group, on behalf of the Trust and the related Companion Loan
Noteholders) pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or paid by a Mortgagor with respect to
any transfer of an interest in a Mortgagor pursuant to Section 3.08(a), shall be
retained by the Master Servicer or promptly paid to the Master Servicer by the
Special Servicer and such additional servicing compensation is not required to
be deposited in any Custodial Account. The Master Servicer shall also be
entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) Prepayment
Interest Excesses (except in the case of the Companion Loans); (ii) interest or
other income earned on deposits in the Custodial Accounts in accordance with
Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any,
with respect to each such account for each Collection Period); 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 Servicing Accounts, the
Reserve Accounts and the Defeasance Deposit Account maintained thereby (but only
to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to each such
account for each Collection Period).
(b) Except as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph, as
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially
Serviced Loan and each REO Loan that was previously a Serviced Loan. With
respect to each such Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan, for any calendar
month (or portion thereof), the Special Servicing Fee shall: (i) accrue from
time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate on the same principal amount as
interest accrues from time to time on such Loan or is deemed to accrue from time
to time on such REO Loan; and (ii) be calculated on a 30/360 Basis (or, in the
case of the Companion Loans, and in each case any related REO Loans, on an
Actual/360 Basis) (or, in the event that a Principal Prepayment in full or other
Liquidation Event shall occur with respect to any such Specially Serviced Loan
or REO Loan on a date that is not a Due Date, on the basis of the actual number
of days to elapse from and including the most recently preceding related Due
Date to but excluding the date of such Principal Prepayment or Liquidation
Event, in a month consisting of 30 days and, in the case of any other partial
period that does not run from one Due Date through and including the day
immediately preceding the next Due Date, on the basis of the actual number of
days in such period in a month consisting of 30 days). The Special Servicing Fee
with respect to any such Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan shall cease to
accrue as of the date a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof or it
becomes a Corrected Loan. Earned but unpaid Special Servicing Fees shall be
payable monthly out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Properties (or, in the case of Special Servicing Fees in respect of a Serviced
Loan Group, first out of collections relating to such Loan Group or any related
REO Property and, if insufficient therefor, out of general collections on the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) on deposit in the appropriate Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or Section 3.05A(a), as applicable.
As further compensation for its services hereunder, the Special
Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Workout Fee with respect to each
Corrected Loan. As to each such Corrected Loan, the Workout Fee shall be payable
from, and shall be calculated by application of the Workout Fee Rate to, all
collections of principal, interest (other than Default Interest), Prepayment
Premiums and/or Yield Maintenance Charges received on such Loan for so long as
it remains a Corrected Loan; provided that no Workout Fee shall be payable from,
or based upon the receipt of, Liquidation Proceeds collected in connection with
the purchase of any such Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property by a Purchase
Option Holder pursuant to Section 3.19, by the Depositor, each Mortgage Loan
Seller, the Special Servicer, a Controlling Class Certificateholder or the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01, a Companion Loan Noteholder or its
designee pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement, (or, in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx Loan Group, by the holders of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Subordinate Companion
Loan and/or the Class OEA-B Majority Holder pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement
for the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group) and within the time period provided in
such Co-Lender Agreement, by the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section
2.03(a), or by the holder of a related mezzanine loan pursuant to a purchase
right in connection with a Loan default as set forth in the related
intercreditor agreement, or out of any Condemnation Proceeds, or the repurchase
of a Companion Loan by the related mortgage loan seller pursuant to the mortgage
loan purchase agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of any
Companion Loan Securities. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan
will cease to be payable if such Corrected Loan again becomes a Specially
Serviced Loan or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property;
provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when the particular
Serviced Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. If the Special Servicer is
terminated or removed other than for cause (and other than as a result of an
Event of Default under Sections 7.01(a)(x), 7.01(a)(xi) or 7.01(a)(xii)) or
resigns in accordance with the first sentence of the first paragraph of Section
6.04, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in
respect of Serviced Loans that became Corrected Loans during the period that it
acted as Special Servicer and were still such at the time of such termination,
removal or resignation (and the successor Special Servicer shall not be entitled
to any portion of such Workout Fees), in each case until the Workout Fee for any
such Serviced Loan ceases to be payable in accordance with the preceding
sentence.
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special
Servicer shall also be entitled to receive the Liquidation Fee with respect to
(i) each Specially Serviced Loan as to which it receives a full, partial or
discounted payoff, (ii) each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that was
repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller, and (iii) each Specially Serviced Loan
and REO Property as to which it receives Liquidation Proceeds, in each case,
subject to the provisos to the next sentence. As to each such Specially Serviced
Loan or REO Property, the Liquidation Fee shall be payable from, and shall be
calculated by application of the Liquidation Fee Rate to, such full, partial or
discounted payoff and/or Liquidation Proceeds (exclusive of any portion of such
payoff or proceeds that represents Default Interest); provided that no
Liquidation Fee shall be payable (i) with respect to any such Specially Serviced
Loan that becomes a Corrected Loan (unless it is subsequently liquidated in
connection with a subsequent event that causes it to become a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan and a Liquidation Fee would be payable in connection with such
liquidation) or (ii) from, or based upon the receipt of, Liquidation Proceeds
collected in connection with the purchase of any such Specially Serviced Loan or
REO Property by a Purchase Option Holder pursuant to Section 3.19, by the
Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Special Servicer, a Controlling Class
Certificateholder or the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01, by a
Companion Loan Noteholder (and in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group,
by the holders of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Subordinate Companion Loan and/or the
Class OEA-B Majority Holder) or its designee pursuant to the related Co-Lender
Agreement and within the period specified in such Co-Lender Agreement, by a
Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(a) in connection with a Material
Document Defect or a Material Breach (within the applicable cure period
contained in Section 2.03 with respect to the Material Document Defect or
Material Breach, as applicable, that gave rise to the particular repurchase
obligation) or by the holder of a related mezzanine loan pursuant to a purchase
right in connection with a Loan default as set forth in the related
intercreditor agreement within 60 days after the purchase right is first
exercisable.
In the event that (i) the Special Servicer has been terminated or
resigns, and (ii) prior to such termination or resignation, a Specially Serviced
Loan was liquidated or modified pursuant to a plan of action submitted by the
Special Servicer and approved (or deemed approved) by the Controlling Class
Directing Holder, then in that event the terminated or resigned Special Servicer
shall be paid the related Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee, as applicable (and the
successor special servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such Workout
Fees or Liquidation Fees).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Liquidation Fee
and a Workout Fee relating to the same Loan shall not be paid from the same
proceeds with respect to such Loan.
The Special Servicer's right to receive the Special Servicing Fee,
the Workout Fee and the Liquidation Fee may not be transferred in whole or in
part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
The Special Servicer will not be entitled to any compensation with
respect to the Non-Serviced Loan Groups, which are serviced under the applicable
Lead PSA.
(c) Additional special servicing compensation in the form of (i) Net
Default Charges actually collected on the Mortgage Pool that accrued with
respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan, (ii) with respect to any
Specially Serviced Loan, 100% of any and all assumption application fees and
other applicable fees, actually paid by a Mortgagor in accordance with the
related Loan documents, with respect to any assumption or substitution agreement
entered into by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (or, in the case of
a Serviced Loan Group, on behalf of the Trust and the related Companion Loan
Noteholders) pursuant to Section 3.08(b) or paid by a Mortgagor with respect to
any transfer of an interest in a Mortgagor pursuant to Section 3.08(b), (iii)
with respect to any Performing Serviced Loan, 50% of the excess, if any, of any
assumption application fees received by the Master Servicer with respect to each
assumption, transfer or substitution over $5,000, and 50% of any and all
assumption fees, in each case actually paid by the Mortgagor in accordance with
the related Loan documents with respect to any agreement regarding a transfer of
a Mortgaged Property or any assumption or substitution agreement entered into by
the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or paid
by the Mortgagor with respect to any transfer of an interest in a Mortgagor
pursuant to Section 3.08(a), (iv) any and all assumption fees, modification
fees, consent fees, extension fees and similar fees actually collected on the
Serviced Loans that are not otherwise payable to the Master Servicer as
additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.11(a) and (v) 50% of
each modification fee or extension fee actually paid by the Mortgagor with
respect to a modification, consent, waiver or amendment agreed to by the Master
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement if the approval or consent of the Special
Servicer (or the Directing Holder with respect to an extension of maturity
granted pursuant to Section 3.21(c)) was required in connection therewith and
100% of any modification fee or extension fee and any other applicable fee that
is actually paid by the Mortgagor in connection with an extension of the
maturity date of a Performing Serviced Loan approved by the Special Servicer in
accordance with Section 3.21(d), shall be retained by the Special Servicer or
promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer, as the case may
be, and shall not be required to be deposited in any Custodial Account pursuant
to Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04A(a). The Special Servicer shall also be
entitled to additional special servicing compensation in the form of interest or
other income earned on deposits in any of the REO Accounts, if established, in
accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment
Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for each Collection Period).
(d) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be
required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection
with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any amounts due
and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket policy
obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07(b)), if
and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of any of the
Custodial Accounts or, in the case of the Special Servicer, any of the REO
Accounts, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement for such expenses except as expressly provided in this
Agreement.
Section 3.12 Certain Matters Regarding Servicing Advances.
(a) If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer is required under any
provision of this Agreement to make a Servicing Advance, but neither does so
within 15 days after such Advance is required to be made, the Trustee shall, if
it has actual knowledge of such failure on the part of the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be, give written notice of such failure, as
applicable, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. If such Servicing
Advance is not made by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, within three Business Days after such notice is given to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then (subject to Section
3.12(d)) the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance. If the Trustee fails to
make any Servicing Advance required to be made under this Agreement, then
(subject to Section 3.12(d)) the Fiscal Agent shall make such Servicing Advance
within one Business Day of such failure by the Trustee and, if so made, the
Trustee shall be deemed not to be in default under this Agreement.
(b) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the
Fiscal Agent shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement
Rate in effect from time to time, compounded annually, accrued on the amount of
each Servicing Advance made thereby (with its own funds) for so long as such
Servicing Advance is outstanding, such interest to be payable: (i) out of any
Default Charges on deposit in the Pool Custodial Account that were collected on
or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan during the same Collection Period in
which such Servicing Advance is reimbursed; and (ii) to the extent that such
Default Charges are insufficient, but not before the related Advance has been
reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, out of general collections on the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit in the Pool Custodial Account;
provided that, if such Servicing Advance was made with respect to a Serviced
Loan Group or a Loan Group Mortgaged Property (other than the Non-Serviced Loan
Groups), then such interest shall first be payable out of amounts on deposit in
the related Loan Group Custodial Account in accordance with clause (viii) of
Section 3.05A.
(c) The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as appropriate and in accordance with
Section 3.03, Section 3.05(a) or Section 3.05A(a), as applicable, for any
Servicing Advance as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose
are deposited in the related Custodial Account.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall be
required to make out of its own funds any Servicing Advance that would, if made,
constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by either the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be made in accordance with
the Servicing Standard and shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate
delivered promptly to the Trustee and the Depositor (and, if affected thereby,
the related Companion Loan Noteholder (and, in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Loan Group, the Holders of the Class OEA-B Certificates)), setting forth the
basis for such determination, together with a copy of any appraisal of the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which appraisal
shall be an expense of the Trust, shall take into account the factors specified
in Section 3.19 and shall have been conducted by an Independent Appraiser in
accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve
months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further
accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements,
budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent
available and/or in the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's possession)
and any engineers' reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may have obtained and that support such
determination. If the Master Servicer intends to obtain an appraisal in
connection with the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall so notify the Special
Servicer and consult with the Special Servicer regarding such appraisal. The
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any
determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that a Servicing
Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has failed to make a Servicing
Advance for reasons other than a determination by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, that such Servicing Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, shall
make such Servicing Advance within the time periods required by Section 3.12(a)
unless the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, in good faith, makes a determination
that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. In addition, the
Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall consider Workout-Delayed
Reimbursement Amounts in respect of prior Servicing Advances on the applicable
Mortgage Loan that have not been repaid by the related Mortgagor for the
purposes of nonrecoverability determinations as if such amounts were
unreimbursed Servicing Advances.
(e) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the
Master Servicer shall (at the direction of the Special Servicer if a Specially
Serviced Loan or an REO Property is involved) pay directly out of the Pool
Custodial Account or the related Loan Group Custodial Account, as applicable,
any servicing expense that, if advanced by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided that the
Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, if a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO
Property is involved) has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard
that making such payment, in the case of withdrawals from the Pool Custodial
Account, is in the best interests of the Certificateholders (as a collective
whole) or, in the case of a Custodial Account, is in the best interests of the
Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Group, the related
Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective whole), as evidenced in each case by
an Officer's Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Controlling Class Directing Holder and, if affected thereby, the applicable
Companion Loan Noteholder (and, in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group,
the Holders of the Class OEA-B Certificates), setting forth the basis for such
determination and accompanied by any information that such Person may have
obtained that supports such determination. A copy of any such Officer's
Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Master Servicer shall also be
promptly delivered to the Special Servicer, and a copy of any such Officer's
Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer shall also be
promptly delivered to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer may conclusively
rely on any information in this regard provided by the Special Servicer (if
other than the Master Servicer or an Affiliate thereof).
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall not waive any fees that would be due or partially due to
the Special Servicer without the Special Servicer's consent and the Special
Servicer shall not waive any fees that would be due or partially due to the
Master Servicer without the Master Servicer's consent.
Section 3.13 Property Inspections; Collection of Financial
Statements; Delivery of Certain Reports.
(a) The Special Servicer shall perform or cause to be performed a
physical inspection of a Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after the
related Serviced Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and annually thereafter
for so long as the related Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan, the cost of
which shall be paid by the Special Servicer and shall be reimbursable as a
Servicing Advance. In addition, the Special Servicer shall perform or cause to
be performed a physical inspection of each of the REO Properties at least once
per calendar year, the cost of which shall be paid by the Special Servicer and
shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance. Beginning in 2005, the Master
Servicer shall at its expense perform or cause to be performed a physical
inspection of each Mortgaged Property securing a Performing Serviced Loan: (i)
at least once every two calendar years in the case of Mortgaged Properties
securing Loans that have outstanding principal balances of (or Mortgaged
Properties having allocated loan amounts of) $2,000,000 or less; and (ii) at
least once every calendar year in the case of all other such Mortgaged
Properties; provided, that the Master Servicer will not be required to perform
or cause to be performed an inspection on a Mortgaged Property if such Mortgaged
Property has been inspected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in
the preceding six months. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
each promptly prepare or cause to be prepared and deliver to the Trustee and
each other a written report of each such inspection performed by it that sets
forth in detail the condition of the Mortgaged Property and that specifies the
existence of: (i) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of
which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is aware, (ii)
any change in the condition or value of the Mortgaged Property that the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in its reasonable, good faith
judgment, considers material, or (iii) any waste committed on the Mortgaged
Property. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall each forward copies of
any such inspection reports prepared by it to the Underwriters and the
Controlling Class Directing Holder upon request, subject to payment of a
reasonable fee.
(b) The Special Servicer, in the case of each Specially Serviced
Loan and each REO Loan that was previously a Serviced Loan, and the Master
Servicer, in the case of each Performing Serviced Loan, shall each, consistent
with the Servicing Standard, use reasonable efforts to obtain quarterly, annual
and other periodic operating statements and rent rolls with respect to each of
the related Mortgaged Properties and REO Properties. The Special Servicer shall,
promptly following receipt, deliver copies of the operating statements and rent
rolls received or obtained by it to the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer
shall promptly deliver copies of the operating statements and rent rolls
received or obtained by it to the Trustee, the Special Servicer or any
Controlling Class Certificateholder, in each case upon request. In addition to
the foregoing and solely with respect to the Loan Groups, the Special Servicer
and the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall each, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, use reasonable efforts to obtain occupancy reports, sales
reports for retail tenants, 24-month rolling lease expiration schedules, reserve
balances and capital expenditure statements, as well as information as to
bankrupt tenants and tenants whose leases have expired and have not been
renewed. The Special Servicer shall, promptly following receipt, deliver copies
of the materials received or obtained by it pursuant to the foregoing sentence
to the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver copies of
all such materials received or obtained by it pursuant to the foregoing sentence
and this sentence to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, any Controlling Class
Certificateholders and, in the case of the Loan Groups, to the related Companion
Loan Noteholders (and, in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the
Holders of the Class OEA-B Certificates), in each case upon request; provided
that, with respect to the Loan Groups, the Special Servicer or the Master
Servicer, as applicable, shall forward any financial statements received with
respect to the Loan Group Mortgaged Properties to the Trustee promptly upon
receipt thereof without the Trustee having to make a request, but only insofar
as such financial statements are to be included in an Annual Report on Form
10-K; and provided, further, that in the event that any losses are incurred by
the Depositor that are based upon or arise out of financial statements filed
with the Commission with respect to the Loan Group Mortgaged Properties, the
Trustee shall assign or subrogate, as appropriate, any rights it may have
against the related Mortgagor with respect to such financial statements or
against the applicable auditors under any independent auditors' report filed
together with such financial statements, to the Depositor and/or its designee,
to the extent such assignment is permitted by applicable law.
Within 30 days after receipt by the Master Servicer of any annual
operating statements with respect to any Mortgaged Property or REO Property, the
Master Servicer with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan and the Special
Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan shall prepare or update and
forward to the Trustee a CMSA NOI Adjustment Worksheet for such Mortgaged
Property or REO Property (with, upon request, the annual operating statements
attached thereto as an exhibit).
The Master Servicer with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan and
the Special Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan shall prepare and
maintain one CMSA Operating Statement Analysis Report for each Mortgaged
Property and REO Property. The CMSA Operating Statement Analysis Report for each
such Mortgaged Property and REO Property is to be updated by the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, within 30 days after its receipt of updated
operating statements for a Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may
be. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use the
"Normalized" column from the CMSA NOI Adjustment Worksheet for any such
Mortgaged Property or REO Property (other than the Mortgaged Property securing a
Non-Serviced Loan Group), as the case may be, to update and normalize the
corresponding annual year-end information in the CMSA Operating Statement
Analysis Report and shall use any annual operating statements and related data
fields received with respect to any such Mortgaged Property or REO Property
(other than the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Loan Group), as the
case may be, to prepare the CMSA NOI Adjustment Worksheet for such property.
Copies of CMSA Operating Statement Analysis Reports and CMSA NOI Adjustment
Worksheets are to be forwarded to the Trustee automatically until such time as a
Form 15 is filed with respect to the Trust pursuant to Section 8.15(c), and are
otherwise to be made available by the Master Servicer to the Trustee, the
Special Servicer or any Controlling Class Certificateholder, in each case upon
request.

Set-up File (if modified), CMSA Delinquent Loan Status Report, CMSA Comparative
Financial Status Report and Loan Payoff Notification Report (in each case
combining the reports prepared by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer);

include on one of such reports updated information as of the applicable
Determination Date regarding the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on
Advances in accordance with Section 3.12(b), 4.03(d) and/or 4.03A(d) such
information to be presented on a loan-by-loan basis.
If the Master Servicer determines, in its reasonable judgment, that
information regarding the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (in addition to the
information otherwise required to be contained in the CMSA Investor Reporting
Package) should be disclosed to Certificateholders and Certificate Owners, then
it shall forward such information in the form of a Supplemental Report to the
Trustee in accordance with Section 4.02(a).

Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and, upon request,
any Controlling Class Certificateholder or Loan Group Directing Holder the

manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports to be provided by the
applicable Lead Master Servicer pursuant to the applicable Lead PSA. The Trustee

the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.13(d). In the case of information or
reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.13(d), to the extent that such information is based on reports to be
provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.13(c) and/or that such
reports are to be prepared and delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.13(c), so long as the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are not
the same Person or Affiliates, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to
provide such information or reports until it has received such information or
reports from the Special Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall not be in
default hereunder due to a delay in providing the reports required by Section
3.13(d) caused by the Special Servicer's failure to timely provide any report
required under Section 3.13(c) of this Agreement.
(f) The preparation and maintenance by the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer of all the reports specified in this Section 3.13, including
the calculations made therein, shall be done in accordance with CMSA standards
to the extent applicable thereto.

The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to any Subsequent Master
Servicer, upon request, such information in the Master Servicer's possession as

and the Special Servicer are not the same Person or Affiliates, the Master
Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such information or reports until
it has received such information or reports from the Special Servicer, and the
Master Servicer shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing
the reports required by Section 3.13B(a) caused by the Special Servicer's
failure to timely provide any report required under Section 3.13A(b) of this
Agreement.
(e) The preparation and maintenance by the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer of all the reports specified in this Section 3.13A, including

forward to each Companion Loan Noteholder (other than the holders of the
Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans with respect to which such holders will

(b) The Master Servicer shall only be obligated to deliver the
statements, reports and information contemplated by Section 3.13B(a) to the
extent it receives the necessary underlying information from the Special
Servicer and shall not be liable for its failure to deliver such statements,
reports and information on the prescribed due dates, to the extent caused by the
failure of the Special Servicer to deliver timely such underlying information.
Nothing herein shall obligate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to
violate any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to
the related Mortgagor, and the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer to disseminate information for such reason shall not be a breach
hereunder.
Absent manifest error of which it has actual knowledge, neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for the accuracy
or completeness of any information supplied to it by a Mortgagor, the Depositor,
a Mortgage Loan Seller or third party that is included in any reports,
statements, materials or information prepared or provided by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement. Neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any obligation to verify the

Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller, a third party or each other.
Section 3.14 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver
to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the
Companion Loan Noteholders of a Serviced Companion Loan, and each other, on or
before April 30 of each year, beginning in 2005 (or, as to any such year, such
earlier date as is contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 3.14), an
Officer's Certificate (the "Annual Performance Certification") stating, as to
the signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, during the preceding calendar year
(or, in the case of the first such certification, during the period from the
Closing Date to December 31, 2004, inclusive) and, in particular, of its
performance under this Agreement, has been made under such officer's
supervision, (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has fulfilled
all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout
such preceding calendar year or portion thereof (or, if there has been a default
in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to
such officer and the nature and status thereof), and (iii) the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has received no notice regarding
the qualification, or challenging the status, of either REMIC Pool or any Loan
REMIC as a REMIC or of the Grantor Trust as a "grantor trust," from the IRS or
any other governmental agency or body (or, if it has received any such notice,
specifying the details thereof). Notwithstanding the timing provided for in the
first sentence of this paragraph, unless the Trustee (with respect to the Trust)
and each Subsequent Trustee (with respect to a Companion Loan Noteholder that is
a trust established in connection with the issuance of Companion Loan
Securities) have, in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, filed a Form 15 with respect to the
applicable trust suspending all reporting requirements under the Exchange Act,
the Annual Performance Certification to be delivered by each of the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer for any calendar year, shall, with respect to
the trust that has not filed such Form 15, be delivered on or before March 20 of
the following year, and if March 20 is not a Business Day, then the preceding
Business Day; and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are hereby
notified that the Depositor is required to file a Form 10-K with the Commission
in respect of the Trust covering calendar year 2004. Any Officer's Certificate
delivered to a Companion Loan Noteholder pursuant to this Section 3.14 shall be
limited to the servicing of the related Serviced Loan Group.
Section 3.15 Reports by Independent Public Accountants.
On or before April 30 of each year, beginning in 2005 (or, as to any
such year, such earlier date as is contemplated by the last sentence of this
paragraph), each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer at its expense
shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (which may also render
other services to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) that is a member
of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement
(the "Annual Accountants' Report") to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, the
Depositor, the Underwriters, the Companion Loan Noteholders, and each other, to
the effect that (i) such firm has obtained a letter of representation regarding
certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, which includes an assertion that the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable, has complied with certain minimum mortgage
loan servicing standards (to the extent applicable to commercial and multifamily
mortgage loans), identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America,
with respect to the servicing of commercial and multifamily mortgage loans
during the most recently completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an
examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is
fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other
qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may
rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of commercial and
multifamily mortgage loans by sub-servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of
independent certified public accountants rendered (within one year of such
report) on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same
standards with respect to those sub-servicers. Notwithstanding the timing
provided for in the first sentence of this paragraph, unless the Trustee (with
respect to the Trust) and each Subsequent Trustee (with respect to a Companion
Loan Noteholder that is a trust established in connection with the issuance of
Companion Loan Securities) have, in accordance with the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, filed a Form 15 with respect to
the applicable trust suspending all reporting requirements under the Exchange
Act), the Annual Accountants' Report to be delivered on behalf of each of the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer for any calendar year, shall, with
respect to the trust that has not filed such Form 15, be delivered on or before
March 20 of such following year, and if March 20 is not a Business Day, then the
preceding Business Day; and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are
hereby notified that the Depositor is required to file a Form 10-K with the
Commission in respect of the Trust covering calendar year 2004.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, to the extent
applicable, will reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in conforming any
reports delivered pursuant to this Section 3.15 to requirements imposed by the
Commission on the Depositor in connection with the Depositor's reporting
requirements in respect of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Exchange Act, provided
that the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall each be entitled to charge
the Depositor for any reasonable additional costs and expenses incurred in
affording the Depositor such cooperation.
Section 3.16 Access to Certain Information.
Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford to
the Trustee, the Underwriters, the Rating Agencies, the Depositor, any
Certificateholder, the Companion Loan Noteholders and any Certificate Owner
(identified as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be), and to the OTS, the FDIC and any other
banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any
Certificateholder, Certificate Owner (identified as such to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be)
or Companion Loan Noteholder, access to any records regarding the Serviced Loans
and the servicing thereof within its control (which access shall be limited, in
the case of the Companion Loan Noteholders or any regulatory authority seeking
such access in respect of the Companion Loan Noteholders, to records relating to
the Companion Loans), except to the extent it is prohibited from doing so by
applicable law or contract or to the extent such information is subject to a
privilege under applicable law to be asserted on behalf of the
Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Noteholders. Such access shall be
afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business
hours at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, designated by it.
In connection with providing or granting any information or access
pursuant to the prior paragraph to a Certificateholder, a Certificate Owner, the
Companion Loan Noteholders or any regulatory authority that may exercise
authority over a Certificateholder, a Certificate Owner or Companion Loan
Noteholder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each require
payment from such Certificateholder, a Certificate Owner or Companion Loan
Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of
providing such information or access, including copy charges and reasonable fees
for employee time and for space; provided that no charge may be made if such
information or access was required to be given or made available under
applicable law. In connection with providing Certificateholders and Certificate
Owners access to the information described in the preceding paragraph, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall require (prior to affording such
access) a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially
in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, generally to the effect that such Person
is a Holder of Certificates or a beneficial holder of Book-Entry Certificates
and will keep such information confidential.
Upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder, or any
Certificate Owner identified to the Master Servicer to the Master Servicer's
reasonable satisfaction, the Master Servicer may provide (or forward
electronically) (at the expense of such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner)
copies of any operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements obtained
by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer; provided that, in connection
therewith, the Master Servicer shall require a written confirmation executed by
the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable
to the Master Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is a Holder of
Certificates or a beneficial holder of Book-Entry Certificates and will keep
such information confidential.
No less often than on a monthly basis, upon reasonable prior notice
and during normal business hours, the Master Servicer shall, without charge,
make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer available to answer questions from the
Controlling Class Directing Holder or any Companion Loan Noteholder (or Holder
of the Class OEA-B Certificates), if any, regarding the performance and
servicing of the Mortgage Loans and/of REO Properties for which the Master
Servicer is responsible. Except as provided in the following sentence, in
connection with providing the Controlling Class Directing Holder or a Companion
Loan Noteholder (or Holder of the Class OEA-B Certificates), as applicable, with
the information described in the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall
require (prior to providing such information for the first time to such
Controlling Class Directing Holder or Companion Loan Noteholder (or Holder of
the Class OEA-B Certificates)) a written confirmation executed by the
Controlling Class Directing Holder or Companion Loan Noteholder (or Holder of
the Class OEA-B Certificates), as applicable, in the form of Exhibit N attached
hereto, generally to the effect that such Person will keep any information
received by it from time to time pursuant to this Agreement confidential. In the
case of the initial Controlling Class Directing Holder, upon its acquisition of
the Class P Certificates, such entity shall be deemed to have agreed to keep all
non-public information received by it in such capacity from time to time
pursuant to this Agreement confidential, subject to applicable law.
Section 3.17 Title to REO Property; REO Accounts.
(a) If title to any Mortgaged Property with respect to a Serviced
Mortgage Loan is acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to
the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in the case
of a Loan Group Mortgaged Property, on behalf of the related Companion Loan
Noteholders. If, pursuant to Section 3.09(b), the Special Servicer formed or
caused to be formed, at the expense of the Trust, a single member limited
liability company (of which the Trust is the sole member) for the purpose of
taking title to one or more REO Properties pursuant to this Agreement, then
(subject to the interests of any affected Companion Loan Noteholder) the deed or
certificate of sale with respect to any such REO Property shall be issued to
such single member limited liability company. The limited liability company
shall be a manager-managed limited liability company, with the Special Servicer
to serve as the initial manager to manage the property of the limited liability
company, including any applicable REO Property, in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement as if such property was held directly in the name of the Trust or
Trustee under this Agreement.
The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and, any affected
Companion Loan Noteholder, shall sell any REO Property by the end of the third
calendar year following the calendar year in which the Lower-Tier REMIC acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code,
unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies, more than 60 days prior to the
end of such third succeeding year, for and is granted an extension of time (an
"REO Extension") by the IRS to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains for the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Special Servicer
and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Lower-Tier REMIC
or related Loan REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to the end of such third
succeeding year will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) of either REMIC Pool or
cause either REMIC Pool or any Loan REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding. If the Special Servicer is granted
the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding
sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell the subject REO
Property within such extended period as is permitted by such REO Extension or
such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special
Servicer in connection with its obtaining the REO Extension contemplated by
clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of
Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, or for the
creation of and the operating of a single member limited liability company,
shall be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.
(b) The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur in
respect of any Mortgaged Property (other than any Loan Group Mortgaged
Property), the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (collectively, the "Pool REO Account"), held on behalf of the Trustee
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, for the retention of
revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property (other than any Loan
Group REO Properties). If such REO Acquisition occurs with respect to the Loan
Group Mortgaged Properties, the Special Servicer shall establish an REO Account
solely with respect to each such property (each, a "Loan Group REO Account"), to
be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the applicable Companion
Loan Noteholder. The Pool REO Account and each Loan Group REO Account shall each
be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be
deposited, in the related REO Account, upon receipt, all REO Revenues, Insurance
Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of
any REO Property. Funds in an REO Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall be
entitled to make withdrawals from an REO Account to pay itself, as additional
special servicing compensation in accordance with Section 3.11(c), interest and
investment income earned in respect of amounts held in such REO Account as
provided in Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment
Earnings with respect to such REO Account for any Collection Period). The
Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Master Servicer of the
location of each REO Account, and shall give notice to the related Companion
Loan Noteholders of the location of any related Loan Group REO Account, in each
case when first established and of the new location of any such REO Account
prior to any change thereof.
(c) The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the related REO Account
funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and
disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in
the REO Account relating to such REO Property. On the Business Day following
each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO
Account and deposit into the corresponding Custodial Account (or deliver to the
Master Servicer or such other Person as may be designated by the Master Servicer
for deposit into the corresponding Custodial Account) the aggregate of all
amounts received in respect of each REO Property during the Collection Period
ending on such Determination Date, net of any withdrawals made out of such
amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided that the Special Servicer
may retain in an REO Account such portion of proceeds and collections in respect
of any related REO Property as may be necessary to maintain a reserve of
sufficient funds for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and
disposition of such REO Property (including the creation of a reasonable reserve
for repairs, replacements, necessary capital replacements and other related
expenses), such reserve not to exceed an amount sufficient to cover such items
to be incurred during the following twelve-month period. For purposes of the
foregoing, the Pool REO Account and applicable Loan Group REO Account correspond
to the Pool Custodial Account and the applicable Loan Group Custodial Account,
respectively.
(d) The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records,
on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits
to, and withdrawals from, each REO Account pursuant to Section 3.17(b) or (c).
The Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer any information with
respect to each REO Account as is reasonably requested by the Master Servicer.
Section 3.18 Management of REO Property.
(a) Prior to the acquisition by it of title to a Mortgaged Property
with respect to a Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall review the operation
of such Mortgaged Property and determine the nature of the income that would be
derived from such property if it were acquired by the Trust Fund. If the Special
Servicer determines from such review that:
(i) None of the income from Directly Operating such Mortgaged
Property as REO Property would be subject to tax as "net income from
foreclosure property" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions (such tax
referred to herein as an "REO Tax"), then such Mortgaged Property may be
Directly Operated by the Special Servicer (other than the holding of such
Mortgaged Property for sale to customers in the ordinary course of trade
or business or the performance of any construction work thereon) as REO
Property;
(ii) Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property as REO Property
could result in income from such property that would be subject to an REO
Tax, but that a lease of such property to another party to operate such
property, or the performance of some services by an Independent Contractor
with respect to such property, or another method of operating such
property would not result in income subject to an REO Tax, then the
Special Servicer may (provided, that in the good faith and reasonable
judgment of the Special Servicer, it is commercially reasonable) acquire
such Mortgaged Property as REO Property and so lease or operate such REO
Property; or
(iii) It is reasonable to believe that Directly Operating such
Mortgaged Property as REO Property could result in income subject to an
REO Tax and that no commercially reasonable means exists to operate such
property as REO Property without the Trust Fund incurring or possibly
incurring an REO Tax on income from such property, the Special Servicer
shall deliver to the Tax Administrator, in writing, a proposed plan (the
"Proposed Plan") to manage such property as REO Property. Such plan shall
include potential sources of income, and, to the extent reasonably
possible, estimates of the amount of income from each such source. Upon
request of the Special Servicer, the Tax Administrator shall advise the
Special Servicer of the Tax Administrator's federal income tax reporting
position with respect to the various sources of income that the Trust Fund
would derive under the Proposed Plan. After receiving the information
described in the preceding sentence from the Tax Administrator, the
Special Servicer shall either (A) implement the Proposed Plan (after
acquiring the respective Mortgaged Property as REO Property), with any
amendments required to be made thereto as a result of the Tax
Administrator's tax reporting position or (B) manage and operate such
property in a manner that would not result in the imposition of an REO Tax
on income derived from such property.
The Special Servicer's decision as to how each REO Property, shall
be managed and operated shall be based on the Servicing Standard and, further,
based on the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer as to
which means would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (or in the
case of a Loan Group REO Property, in the best interest of the
Certificateholders and the applicable Companion Loan Noteholders (as a
collective whole)) by maximizing the net after-tax REO Revenues received by the
Trust Fund with respect to such property without materially and adversely
affecting the Special Servicer's ability to promptly sell the REO Property in
accordance with this Agreement and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing,
in accordance with the Servicing Standard. In connection with performing their
respective duties under this Section 3.18(a), both the Special Servicer and the
Tax Administrator may consult with counsel and tax accountants, the reasonable
cost of which consultation shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a
Servicing Advance to be made by the Special Servicer.
(b) If title to any REO Property, is acquired, the Special Servicer
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such REO Property for the benefit of
the Certificateholders (or in the case of a Loan Group REO Property, in the best
interest of the Certificateholders and the applicable Companion Loan Noteholders
(as a collective whole)) solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and
sale in a manner that does not and will not: (i) cause such REO Property to fail
to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code; or (ii) except as
contemplated by Section 3.18(a), either result in the receipt by either REMIC
Pool or any Loan REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the
meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or result in an Adverse REMIC
Event. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full
power and authority to do any and all things in connection therewith as are
consistent with the Servicing Standard and, consistent therewith, shall withdraw
from the applicable REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein
with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation,
management, maintenance and disposition of such REO Property, including:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO
Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO
Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
(iii) any ground rents in respect of such REO Property; and
(iv) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain, lease, sell,
protect, manage, operate and restore such REO Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the applicable REO Account
in respect of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in
the preceding sentence with respect to such REO Property, the Special Servicer
shall make Servicing Advances in such amounts as are necessary for such purposes
unless the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, that such payment would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided,
however, that the Special Servicer may make any such Servicing Advance without
regard to recoverability if it is a necessary fee or expense incurred in
connection with the defense or prosecution of legal proceedings. The Special
Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer if it shall have made any such
Servicing Advance within the previous 30-day period.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special
Servicer shall not, with respect to any REO Property:
(i) enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any
REO Property, if the New Lease, by its terms would give rise to any income
that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease
other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property,
other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and
then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other
improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan
became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the
Code; or
(iv) Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an
Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate any Mortgaged Property as REO
Property on any date more than 90 days after the related REO Acquisition;
unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of
Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Special Servicer as a Servicing
Advance) to the effect that such action would not cause such REO Property to
fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code at any time
that it is held by the Lower-Tier REMIC, in which case the Special Servicer may
take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
(d) The Special Servicer may, and if so required to prevent the REO
Property from failing to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, shall contract with any Independent Contractor
for the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm's
length;
(ii) the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be
expenses of the Trust Fund or with respect to any Loan Group REO Property
such fees shall be netted out of collections on such Loan Group REO
Property prior to their being remitted to the Special Servicer) shall be
reasonable and customary in consideration of the nature and locality of
such REO Property;
(iii) except as permitted under Section 3.18(a), any such contract
shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent
Contractor, in a timely manner, (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the operation and management of such REO Property,
including those listed in Section 3.18(b) above, and (B) except to the
extent that such revenues are derived from any services rendered by the
Independent Contractor to tenants of such REO Property that are not
customarily furnished or rendered in connection with the rental of real
property (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.856-4(b)(5)), remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and
such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;
(iv) none of the provisions of this Section 3.18(d) relating to any
such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor
shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and
obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of such
REO Property; and
(v) the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to
the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations
in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.
The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties
and obligations under Section 3.17 and this Section 3.18 for indemnification of
the Special Servicer by any such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. No agreement
entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18(d) shall be deemed a Sub-Servicing
Agreement for purposes of Section 3.23.
Section 3.19 Sale of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
(a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may
sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan or REO
Property only (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Section 3.19, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by
Sections 2.03(a) and 9.01 of this Agreement, (iii) in the case of the Loan
Groups, subject to the requirements of, and Companion Loan Noteholder rights set
forth in, in the related Co-Lender Agreement, and (iv) in the case of a Mortgage
Loan with a related mezzanine loan, in connection with a Loan default as set
forth in the related intercreditor agreement.
(b) Within five Business Days after any Serviced Mortgage Loan has
become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall give
notice of such event to each Holder of a Certificate of the Controlling Class
and to the Trustee. The Special Servicer, any single Holder or any group of
Certificateholders evidencing a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to the
Controlling Class and any assignees (other than an assignee whose purchase of
such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan would violate the terms of any related
mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement or Co-Lender Agreement) of the foregoing
parties (collectively, the "Purchase Option Holders") shall each have the option
to purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at a cash price that is at
least equal to the Purchase Price. In addition, if such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan is part of a Loan Group as to which there is a Pari Passu
Companion Loan that has been securitized, the Special Servicer shall also send a
copy of the notice described above to the parties under the related pooling and
servicing agreement that have the equivalent rights as the Purchase Option
Holders under this Agreement.
(c) If none of the Purchase Option Holders exercises its option to
purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as described in subsection (b)
above, then any single Holder or any group of Certificateholders evidencing a
majority of the Voting Rights allocated to the Controlling Class (other than an
assignee whose purchase of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan would violate
the terms of any related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement or co-lender
agreement) will also have the option to purchase that Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the fair value of such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan (the "FV Price"). The Holders of a majority of the Voting Rights
allocated to the Controlling Class will have the exclusive option to purchase
such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at the FV Price for a period of 60 days
after receipt of notice from the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.19(b)
above. After the expiration of such 60-day period, the Special Servicer shall
have the exclusive right to exercise the option to purchase such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan at the FV Price for a 30-day period. If such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan has not been purchased by the Special Servicer during
such 30-day period, the option to purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
at its FV Price may be exercised by either the Special Servicer or the Holders
of Certificates representing a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to the
Controlling Class, except that prior to any purchase by the Special Servicer,
the Special Servicer shall give 15 days prior written notice of its intent to
exercise such option to such Certificateholders and such Certificateholders
shall have a right of first refusal to purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan during such 15-day period.
Upon receipt of a request from any Purchase Option Holder to
determine the FV Price in contemplation of its intention to exercise its option
to purchase a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at a price that is below the
Purchase Price, the Special Servicer shall promptly obtain an MAI appraisal of
the related Mortgaged Property by an Independent Appraiser (unless such an
appraisal was obtained within one year of such date and the Special Servicer has
no knowledge of any circumstances that would materially affect the validity of
such appraisal). Promptly after obtaining such appraisal, the Special Servicer
shall determine the FV Price in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the
provisions of subsection (j) below. Promptly after determining the FV Price, the
Special Servicer shall report such FV Price to the Trustee and each Purchase
Option Holder.
With respect to any Serviced Loan Group, the Purchase Option Holders
will only have the right to purchase the related Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan
and with respect to 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, will not have the right to
purchase the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan. With respect to each such
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Group as to which there
is a Pari Passu Companion Loan that has been securitized, the Special Servicer
shall also send a copy of the notice containing the FV Price described above to
the parties under the related pooling and servicing agreement that have the
equivalent rights as the Purchase Option Holders under this Agreement.
(d) With respect to each of the Non-Serviced Trust Loans:
(i) in the case of the 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx Fargo Tower
Trust Loan and the 1801 K Street Trust Loan, the Special Servicer shall
follow all of the provisions of this Section 3.19, except that the Special
Servicer shall not be required to determine the FV Price but rather shall
use the "FV Price" determined by the GCCFC C2 Special Servicer under the
GCCFC C2 PSA; and
(ii) in the case of the Water Tower Place Trust Loan, the DDR
Portfolio Loan. and the 5 Houston Center Trust Loan, this Section 3.19
shall not be applicable, and any rights of any Persons to exercise its
option to purchase such Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans shall be
determined in accordance with the terms of the related Lead PSA and the
related Co-Lender Agreement by the parties specified therein (and the
Trust shall sell such Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan in compliance with
such terms). Any proceeds from such the sale of the Water Tower Place
Trust Loan, the DDR Portfolio Loan, or the 5 Houston Center Trust Loan
pursuant to the exercise of such option shall be treated for purposes of
this Agreement in the same manner as funds received in connection with the
sale of any Serviced Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3.19.
(e) Any Purchase Option Holder shall be required to purchase the
subject Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan within ten Business Days of notice of
its intent to exercise its purchase option.
(f) If none of the Purchase Option Holders have exercised their
option to purchase a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan under this Section 3.19
prior to the expiration of 120 days from the Special Servicer's most recent
determination of the FV Price and thereafter receives a request from a Purchase
Option Holder for an updated FV Price, or the Special Servicer receives notice
that a Purchase Option Holder intends to exercise its purchase option, the
Special Servicer shall be required to recalculate the FV Price (with no
presumption that such FV Price should be reduced on account of the lack of a
prior purchase of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan). In connection with
such recalculation, the Special Servicer may obtain an updated Appraisal if it
determines that market conditions or conditions at the mortgaged property
warrant an updated Appraisal. In addition, the Special Servicer shall
recalculate the FV Price of any Mortgage Loan if there has been a material
change in circumstances of which the Special Servicer is aware or the Special
Servicer has received new information, either of which has a material effect on
the fair value.
(g) If the party exercising the purchase option at the FV Price for
any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is the Special Servicer or an Affiliate
thereof, the Trustee shall verify that the FV Price is at least equal to the
fair value of such Mortgage Loan. In determining whether the FV Price is at
least equal to the fair value of such Mortgage Loan the Trustee will be
permitted to conclusively rely on an appraisal obtained by the Trustee from an
Independent Appraiser at the time it is required to verify the FV Price and/or
the opinion of an Independent expert in real estate matters (including the
Master Servicer) with at least 5 years' experience in valuing or investing in
loans, similar to such Mortgage Loan, that has been selected by the Trustee with
reasonable care at the expense of the Trust Fund.
(h) Any Purchase Option Holder may, once such option is exercisable,
assign its purchase option with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
to a third party other than another Purchase Option Holder or any Person whose
purchase of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan would violate any restrictions
contained in any mezzanine intercreditor agreement or any Co-Lender Agreement
and upon such assignment such third party shall have all of the rights that had
been granted to the Purchase Option Holder hereunder in respect of the purchase
option. Such assignment shall only be effective upon written notice (together
with a copy of the executed assignment and assumption agreement) being delivered
to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.
(i) In determining the FV Price for any Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, the Special Servicer may take into account, among other factors, the
results of any appraisal or updated appraisal that it or the Master Servicer may
have obtained in accordance with this Agreement within the prior twelve months;
the opinions on fair value expressed by Independent investors in mortgage loans
comparable to the subject Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; the period and
amount of any delinquency on the subject Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; the
physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property; the state of the local
economy; and the expected recoveries from the subject Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan if the Special Servicer were to pursue a workout or foreclosure
strategy instead of selling such Mortgage Loan to a Purchase Option Holder.
(j) The purchase option for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 3.19 shall terminate, and shall not be exercisable as
set forth in subsections (b) and (c) above (or if exercised, but the purchase of
the subject Mortgage Loan has not yet occurred, shall terminate and be of no
further force or effect) if and when (i) such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
has become a Corrected Loan, (ii) the related Mortgaged Property has become an
REO Property or (iii) a Final Recovery Determination has been made with respect
to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(k) Until such time as a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is
purchased by a Purchase Option Holder in accordance with this Section 3.19, the
Special Servicer shall continue to pursue all of the other resolution options
available to it with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the Servicing Standard.
(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the holders of
the related Companion Loan (and, in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan
Group, the holder of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan and/or the
holder of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Subordinate Companion Loan) shall be entitled to
purchase the related Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement, even after it
has been purchased out of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 3.19. The
rights of the Trust as holder of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan to
purchase the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Pooled Trust Loan are hereby assigned to the
Class OEA-B Majority Holder; provided that the Class OEA-B Majority Holder may
exercise such rights only in its individual capacity and not on behalf of the
Trust. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall
determine the price to be paid in accordance with the terms of the related
Co-Lender Agreement in connection with any such purchase and shall provide such
notices to the appropriate Companion Loan Noteholders (and, in the case of the
000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the Holders of the Class OEA-B Certificates) as
are required by the related Co-Lender Agreement in connection with each such
holders' purchase rights.
(m) Any purchase of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that is
purchased pursuant to this Section 3.19 will remain subject to the cure and
purchase rights of, in each case if applicable, the related Companion Loan
Noteholders (and, in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the holder of
the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan (exercisable by the Class OEA-B
Majority Holder) and/or the holder of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Subordinate
Companion Loan) as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement and any holder
of a related mezzanine loan in connection with a Loan default as set forth in
the related intercreditor agreement.
(n) The Special Servicer shall use its best efforts to solicit bids
for each REO Property in such manner that is in accordance with the Servicing
Standard and that is within the time period provided for by Section 3.17(a).
Subject to Section 6.11, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if
multiple bids are received contemporaneously or subsequently, the highest) cash
bid received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such REO
Property. If the Special Servicer reasonably believes that it will be unable to
realize a fair price for any REO Property within the time constraints imposed by
Section 3.17(a), then (subject to Section 6.11) the Special Servicer shall
dispose of such REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special
Servicer shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon
under the circumstances and, in connection therewith, shall accept the highest
outstanding cash bid, regardless of from whom received.
(o) The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee and the Depositor
prior written notice of its intention to sell any REO Property pursuant to this
Section 3.19.
(p) No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit a bid to
purchase any REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may
bid for or purchase any REO Property pursuant hereto.
(q) Whether any cash bid constitutes a fair price for any REO
Property for purposes of this Section 3.19, shall be determined by the Special
Servicer or, if such cash bid is from an Interested Person, by the Trustee. In
determining whether any bid received from an Interested Person represents a fair
price for any REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall be
entitled to rely on the most recent appraisal in the related Servicing File
conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 12-month period
(or, in the absence of any such appraisal or if there has been a material change
at the subject property since any such appraisal, on a new appraisal to be
obtained by the Special Servicer (the cost of which shall be covered by, and be
reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance)). The appraiser conducting any such new
appraisal shall be an Independent Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if
neither the Special Servicer nor any Affiliate thereof is bidding with respect
to an REO Property and selected by the Trustee if either the Special Servicer or
any Affiliate thereof is so bidding. Where any Interested Person is among those
bidding with respect to an REO Property, the Special Servicer shall require that
all bids be submitted to it (and, if the Special Servicer or any Affiliate
thereof is bidding, to the Trustee) in writing and be accompanied by a
refundable deposit of cash in an amount equal to 5% of the bid amount. In
determining whether any bid from a Person other than an Interested Person
constitutes a fair price for any REO Property, the Special Servicer shall take
into account the results of any appraisal or updated appraisal that it or the
Master Servicer may have obtained in accordance with this Agreement within the
prior twelve months, and any Independent Appraiser shall be instructed to take
into account, as applicable, among other factors, the occupancy level and
physical condition of the subject REO Property, the state of the local economy
and the obligation to dispose of the subject REO Property within the time period
specified in Section 3.17(a). The Purchase Price for any REO Property shall in
all cases be deemed a fair price. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 3.19, no cash bid from the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof
shall constitute a fair price for any REO Property unless such bid is the
highest cash bid received and at least two independent bids (not including the
bid of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate) have been received. In the event
the bid of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is the only bid
received or is the higher of only two bids received, then additional bids shall
be solicited. If an additional bid or bids, as the case may be, are received and
the original bid of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is the highest
of all cash bids received, then the bid of the Special Servicer or such
Affiliate shall be accepted, provided that the Trustee has otherwise determined,
as provided above in this Section 3.19(s), that such bid constitutes a fair
price for any REO Property. Any bid by the Special Servicer shall be
unconditional; and, if accepted, the subject REO Property shall be transferred
to the Special Servicer without recourse, representation or warranty other than
customary representations as to title given in connection with the sale of a
real property.
(r) Subject to Sections 3.19(a) through 3.19(g) above, and further
subject to Section 6.11, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee
in negotiating with independent third parties seeking to purchase an REO
Property and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with
the sale of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property pursuant to
this Section 3.19, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection
therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective
bidders for any REO Property, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special
Servicer's actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information
pertaining to, or evaluating bids for, such REO Property without obligation to
deposit such amounts into the Pool Custodial Account. Any sale of a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or an REO Property pursuant to this Section 3.19 shall be
final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and if such sale is
consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, neither the Special
Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with
respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the
Trustee.
(s) Any sale of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an REO
Property pursuant to this Section 3.19 shall be for cash only and shall be on a
servicing released basis.
Section 3.20 Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer;
Obligations to Notify Ground Lessors; the Special Servicer's Right to Request
the Master Servicer to Make Servicing Advances.
(a) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in
the Distribution Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any
right of reimbursement therefor, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the
aggregate amount of all Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, incurred in
connection with Principal Prepayments received during the most recently ended
Collection Period with respect to Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans in the
Mortgage Pool and (ii) the aggregate of all Master Servicing Fees received by
the Master Servicer during such Collection Period with respect to the entire
Mortgage Pool (but only to the extent of that portion thereof calculated at a
rate of 0.01% per annum with respect to each and every Serviced Mortgage Loan
and each and every REO Mortgage Loan that was previously a Serviced Mortgage
Loan); provided, however, that if any such Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs
as a result of the Master Servicer's allowing the Mortgagor to deviate from the
terms of the related Loan documents regarding principal prepayments, the Master
Servicer shall be obligated to pay an amount equal to the entire Prepayment
Interest Shortfall with respect to the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan without
any limitation of the kind set forth in clause (ii) of this sentence.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deemed deposit
in the Class OEA-B Sub-Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without
any right of reimbursement therefor, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) any
Prepayment Interest Shortfall on the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan, if
it is a Performing Loan, incurred in connection with Principal Prepayments
received during the most recently ended Collection Period with respect to such
Loan and (ii) the Master Servicing Fee received by the Master Servicer during
such Collection Period with respect to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust
Loan (but only to the extent of that portion thereof calculated at a rate of
0.01% per annum); provided, however, that if any such Prepayment Interest
Shortfall occurs as a result of the Master Servicer's allowing the Mortgagor to
deviate from the terms of the related Loan documents regarding principal
prepayments, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to pay an amount equal to
the entire Prepayment Interest Shortfall with respect to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Non-Pooled Trust Loan without any limitation of the kind set forth in clause
(ii) of this sentence.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, as to each Serviced Loan which is
secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a Ground Lease, even if
the corresponding fee interest is encumbered, promptly (and in any event within
60 days) following the Closing Date, notify the related ground lessor of the
transfer of such Serviced Loan to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement and
inform such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related Ground
Lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer.
(c) The Master Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan which is
secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor in a hospitality property, not
later than the later of (i) 30 days following the Master Servicer's receipt of
the subject franchise agreement and (ii) the expiration of the period that may
be required for such notice pursuant to the terms of the applicable franchise
documents, if any, notify the related hospitality franchisor of the transfer of
such Mortgage Loan to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement and inform such
hospitality franchisor that any notices of default under the related franchise
agreement should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer (and also to the
Special Servicer if such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if the Special Servicer is required under this Agreement to make any
Servicing Advance but does not desire to do so, the Special Servicer may, in its
sole discretion, request that the Master Servicer make such Servicing Advance,
such request to be made, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days (or, in an
emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days, provided that
the written request set forth the nature of the emergency or the basis of the
urgency) in advance of the date on which such Servicing Advance is required to
be made hereunder and to be accompanied by such information and documentation
regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably
request. The Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any such
Servicing Advance that it is so requested by the Special Servicer to make,
within five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent
basis, two (2) Business Days) of the Master Servicer's receipt of such request.
If the request is timely and properly made, the Special Servicer shall be
relieved of any obligations with respect to a Servicing Advance that it so
requests the Master Servicer to make (regardless of whether or not the Master
Servicer shall make such Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement for any Servicing Advance made by it at the direction
of the Special Servicer, together with interest thereon in accordance with
Sections 3.05(a), 3.05A and 3.12(b), as applicable, at the same time, in the
same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer is entitled with
respect to any other Servicing Advances made thereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.20(d),
but subject to the provisions of Section 3.12(e), the Master Servicer shall not
be required to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing
Advance if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable, good faith judgment
that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer
as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of
such determination, which shall be made pursuant to Section 3.12(d). Any request
by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall
be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested
Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Master
Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on such determination. Upon determining that any Servicing Advance
previously made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property is a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer shall report to the
Master Servicer the Special Servicer's determination. The Master Servicer shall
be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination.

(a) Subject to Sections 3.21(b) through 3.21(f) below, and further
subject to Section 6.11, the Special Servicer (or, under the limited
circumstances set forth in Section 3.21(c), the Master Servicer) may, on behalf
of the Trustee and, in the case of the Companion Loans, any Companion Loan
Noteholder, agree to any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of any
term of any Serviced Loan and respond to various Mortgagor requests for consent
on the part of the mortgagee (including the lease reviews and lease consents
related thereto), without the consent of the Trustee, any Certificateholder, any
Companion Loan Noteholder, the Master Servicer (in the case of any such action
taken by the Special Servicer) or, except as expressly set forth below, the
Special Servicer (in the case of any such action taken by the Master Servicer).
(b) All modifications, extensions, waivers or amendments of any
Serviced Loan, including the lease reviews and lease consents related thereto,
shall be in writing and shall be considered and effected in a manner consistent
with the Servicing Standard.
(c) Except as set forth in Section 3.08(a) and (c) and in this
Section 3.21(c), the Master Servicer may not agree to any modification,
extension, waiver or amendment of any term or provision of any Serviced Loan,
except that the Master Servicer may agree to any amendment, modification, waiver
or extension of any Performing Serviced Loan relating to any of the following
items (without obtaining prior written consent of the Directing Holder or the
Special Servicer):
(i) consent to subordination of the related Mortgage Loan to an
easement or right of way for utilities, access, parking, public
improvements or another similar purpose, provided the Master Servicer
shall have determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such
easement or right of way shall not materially interfere with the then
current use of the related Mortgaged Property, or the security intended to
be provided by such Mortgage, the related Mortgagor's ability to repay the
Mortgage Loan, or materially or adversely affect the value of the related
Mortgaged Property;
(ii) grant waivers of minor covenant defaults (other than financial
covenants) including late financial statements and approving any waiver
affecting the timing of receipt of financial statements from any
Mortgagor; provided that such financial statements are delivered no less
than quarterly and within 60 days of the end of the calendar quarter to
which such financial statements relate;
(iii) grant releases of non-material parcels of a Mortgaged Property
(provided that releases as to which the related Loan documents expressly
require the mortgagee thereunder to make releases upon the satisfaction of
certain conditions (which do not provide for lender consent or lender
discretion) shall be made as required by the related Loan documents);
(iv) approve or consent to grants of easements and rights of way
that do not materially affect the use or value of a Mortgaged Property or
the Mortgagor's ability to make any payments with respect to the related
Mortgage Loan;
(v) grant other non-material waivers, consents, modifications or
amendments;
(vi) approve routine leasing activity with respect to leases for
less than the lesser of (A) 50,000 square feet and (B) 20% of the related
Mortgaged Property;
(vii) approve annual budgets for the related Mortgaged Property,
provided that no such budget (A) provides for the payment of operating
expenses in an amount equal to more than 110% of the amounts budgeted
therefor for the prior year or (B) provides for the payment of any
material expenses to any affiliate of the Mortgagor (other than with
respect to the payment of the management fee to any property manager if
such management fee is no more than the management fee in effect on the
Cut off Date); and
(viii) approve a change of the property manager at the request of
the related Mortgagor, provided that (A) the successor property manager is
not affiliated with the Mortgagor and is a nationally or regionally
recognized manager of similar properties, (B) the related Serviced
Mortgage Loan does not represent 2% or more of the then aggregate
principal balance of the Mortgage Pool and (C) the Loan Group Mortgaged
Properties are not involved;
provided that (1) any such modification, waiver or amendment would not in any
way affect a payment term of the related Mortgage Loan or waive any rights with
respect to a guarantor thereunder, (2) agreeing to such modification, waiver or
amendment would be consistent with the Servicing Standard, (3) agreeing to such
modification, waiver or amendment will not violate the terms, provisions or
limitations of this Agreement and (4) other than in connection with clause (vi)
above, the Master Servicer will not grant or enter into any subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreements (or waivers, consents, approvals,
amendments or modifications in connection therewith) without the prior written
consent of the Special Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall give the Special Servicer prompt notice of
any action taken pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii) above, including copies
of the documentation relating to such action.
If a default in the payment of a Balloon Payment occurs with respect
to a Mortgage Loan that has a term of five years or less from its origination,
the Master Servicer may extend the maturity date of such Mortgage Loan for up to
six months (subject to a limit of two such six-month extensions), if (1) such
Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan at the time of such extension and
(2) the Master Servicer has notified the Directing Holder of its proposed action
and the Directing Holder either approves of such action or fails to reply to
such proposal within ten Business Days after receipt of notice from the Master
Servicer.
Except as permitted by Section 3.02(a), Section 3.03(d), Section
3.07, Section 3.08(a) and this Section 3.21(c), the Master Servicer may not
agree to waive, modify or amend any term of any Loan or respond to any Mortgagor
requests for mortgagee consent, and the Master Servicer shall forward such
requests to the Special Servicer. Furthermore, the Master Servicer may not agree
to any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage
Loan that would cause an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to either REMIC Pool
or any Loan REMIC.
The Master Servicer shall notify the applicable Directing Holder of
any release or substitution of collateral approved by the Master Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.21(c), even if such release or substitution is in
accordance with such Loan.
(d) Except as provided in Section 3.02(a), Section 3.07, Section
3.08 or Section 3.21(e), the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee and, in
the case of a Companion Loan, the related Companion Loan Noteholders, shall not
agree or consent to any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of any term
of any Serviced Loan that would:
(i) affect the amount or timing of any scheduled payment of
principal, interest or other amount (including Prepayment Premiums or
Yield Maintenance Charges, but excluding Default Interest and other
amounts payable as additional servicing compensation) payable thereunder;
(ii) affect the obligation of the related Mortgagor to pay a
Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge or effect the waiver of any
prepayment restriction thereunder or permit a Principal Prepayment during
any period in which the related Mortgage Note prohibits Principal
Prepayments;
(iii) except as expressly contemplated by the related Mortgage or
pursuant to Section 3.09(d), result in a release of the lien of the
Mortgage on any material portion of the related Mortgaged Property without
a corresponding Principal Prepayment in an amount not less than the fair
market value (as determined by an appraisal by an Independent Appraiser
delivered to the Special Servicer at the expense of the related Mortgagor
and upon which the Special Servicer may conclusively rely) of the property
to be released; or
(iv) in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Special Servicer,
otherwise materially impair the security for such Loan or reduce the
likelihood of timely payment of amounts due thereon.
Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Section 3.21(d), and
subject to the Servicing Standard, and further subject to clause (C) of the
first paragraph of, and the entire second paragraph of, Section 3.21(e) and
Section 6.11, following any extensions of the maturity date of a Performing
Serviced Loan that the Master Servicer is permitted to approve pursuant to
Section 3.21(c), the Special Servicer may extend the maturity date of a
Performing Serviced Loan for up to one year (subject to a limit of a total of
four such one-year extensions); provided that the related Mortgagor has failed
to make any Balloon Payment on such Performing Serviced Loan. In connection with
an extension of the maturity date of a Performing Serviced Loan approved by the
Special Servicer in accordance with this subsection (d), the Special Servicer
shall process all requests and related documentation and shall be entitled to
retain 100% of any modification fee or extension fee that is actually paid by
the related Mortgagor. The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master
Servicer of any extension granted by the Special Servicer in accordance with
this paragraph.
(e) Notwithstanding Section 3.21(d), but subject to Section 6.11 and
the second paragraph of this Section 3.21(e), the Special Servicer may (i)
reduce the amounts owing under any Specially Serviced Loan by forgiving
principal, accrued interest or any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance
Charge, (ii) reduce the amount of the Monthly Payment on any Specially Serviced
Loan, including by way of a reduction in the related Mortgage Rate, (iii)
forbear in the enforcement of any right granted under any Mortgage Note,
Mortgage or other Loan document relating to a Specially Serviced Loan, (iv)
accept a Principal Prepayment on any Specially Serviced Loan during any Lockout
Period or (v) extend the maturity of any Specially Serviced Loan; provided that
(A) the related Mortgagor is in monetary default or material non-monetary
default with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan or, in the reasonable, good
faith judgment of the Special Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable,
(B) in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Special Servicer, such
modification, extension, waiver or amendment would increase the recovery on such
Specially Serviced Loan to Certificateholders (as a collective whole) or, if a
Loan Group is involved, would increase the recovery on such Loan Group to
Certificateholders and related Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective
whole), on a present value basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated
collections that will be distributable to the Certificateholders (or, in the
case of the Loan Groups, to Certificateholders and related Companion Loan
Noteholders), to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate (or, in the case of a
Loan Group, at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates for such Loan Group)
in each case), and (C) such modification, extension, waiver or amendment would
not cause an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of either REMIC Pool, any Loan REMIC
or any REMIC created in connection with Companion Loan Securities; and provided,
further, that (i) any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of the
payment terms of a Loan Group shall be structured so as to be consistent with
the allocation and payment priorities set forth in the related Loan documents
and the related Co-Lender Agreement, such that neither the Trust as holder of
the related Mortgage Loan nor the related Companion Loan Noteholders shall gain
a priority over the other such Holder with respect to any payment, which
priority is not, as of the date of the related Co-Lender Agreement, reflected in
the related Loan documents and such Co-Lender Agreement and (ii) any waiver,
reduction or deferral of any particular amount due on any Loan in a Loan Group
or reduction of any Mortgage Rate on any Loan in a Loan Group shall be allocated
in the manner set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.
In no event shall the Special Servicer: (i) extend the maturity date
of a Serviced Loan beyond the date that is two years prior to the Rated Final
Distribution Date; (ii) extend the maturity date of any Serviced Loan for more
than five years beyond its Stated Maturity Date; or (iii) if the Serviced Loan
is secured solely or primarily by a Mortgage on the leasehold interest under a
Ground Lease (but not the related fee interest), extend the maturity date of
such Serviced Loan beyond the date which is 20 years (or, to the extent
consistent with the Servicing Standard, giving due consideration to the
remaining term of the Ground Lease, 10 years) prior to the expiration of the
term of such Ground Lease.
The determination of the Special Servicer contemplated by clause (B)
of the proviso to the first paragraph of this Section 3.21(e) shall be evidenced
by an Officer's Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer (and, in the case of a Loan Group, the affected Companion Loan
Noteholders (and in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the Holders of
the Class OEA-B Certificates)) and describing in reasonable detail the basis for
the Special Servicer's determination. The Special Servicer shall attach to such
Officer's Certificate any information including but not limited to income and
expense statements, rent rolls, property inspection reports and appraisals that
support such determination.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall give
any consent, approval or direction regarding the termination of the related
property manager or the designation of any replacement property manager or, if
such Mortgaged Property is hospitality property, give any consent, approval or
direction regarding the termination of the franchise or the designation of a new
franchise, with respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures either (A) the
Companion Loans or (B) a Serviced Mortgage Loan that has an unpaid principal
balance that is at least equal to the lesser of $20,000,000 and 2% of the then
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Pool, unless: (1) the mortgagee is
not given discretion under the terms of the related Loan; or (2) it has received
prior written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such action will not
result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or any
Companion Loan Securities.
Any party hereto seeking Rating Agency confirmation with respect to
the matters described above shall deliver a Review Package to such Rating
Agency.
(g) Any payment of interest that is deferred pursuant to any
modification, extension, waiver or amendment permitted hereunder, shall not, for
purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance or Stated Principal
Balance of the related Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such
modification, extension, waiver or amendment so permit. The foregoing shall in
no way limit the Special Servicer's ability to charge and collect from the
Mortgagor costs otherwise collectible under the terms of the related Mortgage
Note.
(h) The Special Servicer or Master Servicer may, as a condition to
granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification, extension, waiver
or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within its
discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the
related Loan and, further, by the terms of this Agreement and applicable law,
require that such Mortgagor pay to it (i) as additional servicing compensation,
a reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in
connection with such request, provided such fee does not cause a "significant
modification" of the Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections
1.1001-3(e)(2) or 1.860G-2(b), and (ii) any related costs and expenses incurred
by it. Any such fee that is to be shared by the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer may not be waived or reduced by either such party without the consent
of the other party. In no event shall the Special Servicer or Master Servicer be
entitled to payment for such fees or expenses unless such payment is collected
from the related Mortgagor.
(i) The Special Servicer, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan
and with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan as to which the Special Servicer
solely has approved, documented, processed and closed the subject modification,
extension, waiver or amendment, and the Master Servicer, with respect to any
other Serviced Loan, shall each notify the other, any related Sub-Servicers, the
Trustee and, where a Companion Loan is affected, the related Companion Loan
Noteholder (and in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, to the Class
OEA-B Majority Holder (at the address specified in Section 11.05)), in writing,
of any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of any term of any Loan
(including fees charged the Mortgagor) agreed to by it and the date thereof, and
shall deliver to the Trustee or any related Custodian for deposit in the related
Mortgage File (with a copy to be delivered to or retained by, as applicable, the
Master Servicer), an executed counterpart of the agreement relating to such
modification, extension, waiver or amendment promptly following execution and
delivery thereof, to be followed by an original recorded counterpart promptly
following the recordation (and receipt).
(j) To the extent that either the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer waives any Default Charge in respect of any Serviced Loan, whether
pursuant to Section 3.02(a) or this Section 3.21, the respective amounts of
additional servicing compensation payable to the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer as Net Default Charges out of such Default Charges shall be reduced
proportionately based upon the respective amounts that would have been payable
thereto as Net Default Charges out of such Default Charges if such waiver had
not been granted.
(k) With respect to any Serviced Loan that permits the release of
Mortgaged Properties through defeasance, to the extent permitted under the
related Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall, subject to the next paragraph
and the related Loan documents, (1) notify each Rating Agency, the Trustee, the
Underwriters and the Special Servicer upon receipt of a Mortgagor's notice of
defeasance of such Loan, (2) obtain the written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that the acceptance of a pledge of the Defeasance Collateral will not
result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or any
Companion Loan Securities, and (3) take such further action as provided in such
Mortgage Note to effectuate such defeasance, including the purchase and
perfection of the Defeasance Collateral on behalf of the Trustee (as mortgagee
of record on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in the case of the Companion
Loans, the related Companion Loan Noteholders. The confirmation described in
clause (2) above shall not be required:
(i) from S&P in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan with an unpaid
principal balance less than or equal to $20,000,000 and constitutes less
than 5% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Pool,
and is not then one of the ten largest (measured by unpaid principal
balance) Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool, provided the Master Servicer
delivers to S&P a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L
(a "Defeasance Certificate"); or
(ii) from Fitch Ratings in the case of any Serviced Mortgage Loan
that is not then one of the ten largest (measured by unpaid principal
balance) Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool or that is not then one of
the ten largest groups (measured by aggregate unpaid principal balance) of
Mortgage Loans with related Mortgagors, provided the Master Servicer
delivers to Fitch Ratings a Defeasance Certificate; or
(iii) from Xxxxx'x in the case of any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is
not then one of the ten largest (measured by unpaid principal balance)
Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool and that is not then one of the ten
largest groups (measured by aggregate unpaid principal balance) of
Mortgage Loans with related Mortgagors, provided the Master Servicer
delivers to Xxxxx'x a Defeasance Certificate;
provided that, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, such written
confirmation shall not be required from S&P, Fitch Ratings and/or Xxxxx'x
(provided that the Master Servicer delivers a Defeasance Certificate to the
applicable Rating Agency), as applicable, in the event the subject Mortgage Loan
complies with the then current applicable guidelines set forth by such Rating
Agency, or the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, the percentage
such Mortgage Loan constitutes of the Mortgage Pool or the relative size of such
Mortgage Loan with respect to the Mortgage Pool, as applicable, does not exceed
the current applicable threshold for review as set forth by such Rating Agency).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the related Loan
documents, the Master Servicer shall not permit a pledge of Defeasance
Collateral under a Defeasance Loan if (i) such defeasance would occur within two
years of the Startup Day, (ii) if the Defeasance Collateral shall not be
Government Securities; (iii) such Defeasance Loan (or any applicable agreement
executed in connection with the related defeasance) provides that the Mortgagor
shall be liable for any shortfalls from such Defeasance Collateral or otherwise
be subject to recourse liability with respect to the Defeasance Loan (except for
any liability that, pursuant to the terms of the related Loan documents,
survives such defeasance), (iv) all costs to be incurred in connection with such
defeasance (including Rating Agency fees, accountants' fees and costs incurred
in connection with any required opinions of counsel) would not be paid by the
related Mortgagor, or (v) unless such confirmation is not required pursuant to
the first paragraph of this Section 3.21(k), either Rating Agency does not
confirm in writing to the Master Servicer that the acceptance of a pledge of the
Defeasance Collateral in lieu of a prepayment will not result in an Adverse
Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or any Companion Loan Securities.
All expenses related to the defeasance of a Defeasance Loan shall be
charged to the related Mortgagor or other responsible party.
Section 3.22 Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer and
Special Servicer; Record Keeping.
(a) Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred
with respect to any Loan that had otherwise been a Performing Serviced Loan, and
if the Master Servicer is not also the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer
shall immediately give notice thereof to the Special Servicer and with respect
to any Loan Group to the related Companion Loan Noteholder (and, in the case of
the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, to the Class OEA-B Majority Holder (at the
address specified in Section 11.05)), and shall deliver a copy of the related
Servicing File, to the Special Servicer and shall use reasonable efforts to
provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (or copies thereof)
and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic
discs and the like) relating to such Loan, either in the Master Servicer's or
any of its directors', officers', employees', affiliates' or agents' possession
or control or otherwise available to the Master Servicer without undue burden or
expense, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume
its functions hereunder with respect thereto without acting through a
Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to comply with
the preceding sentence within five Business Days of the occurrence of each
related Servicing Transfer Event; provided, however, that if the information,
documents and records requested by the Special Servicer are not contained in the
Servicing File, the Master Servicer shall have such period of time as reasonably
necessary to make such delivery. The Special Servicer may conclusively rely on
the Master Servicer's determination that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred
giving rise to a Serviced Loan's becoming a Specially Serviced Loan. The Special
Servicer shall not be liable or in default hereunder for any reasonable act or
failure to act because of or arising out of the Master Servicer's failure to
deliver information, documents or records with respect to any Specially Serviced
Loan in accordance with the requirements hereof.
Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Loan has become a
Corrected Loan, and if the Master Servicer is not also the Special Servicer, the
Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof, and shall within five
Business Days of such occurrence return the related Servicing File, together
with any and all new information, documents and records relating to the subject
Loan that were not part of the Servicing File when it was delivered to the
Special Servicer, to the Master Servicer (or such other Person as may be
directed by the Master Servicer) and upon giving such notice, and returning such
Servicing File, to the Master Servicer (or such other Person as may be directed
by the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer's obligation to service such Loan,
and the Special Servicer's right to receive the Special Servicing Fee with
respect to such Loan shall terminate, and the obligations of the Master Servicer
to service and administer such Loan shall resume.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with
the transfer to the Special Servicer of the servicing of a Cross-Collateralized
Mortgage Loan as a result of a Servicing Transfer Event or the re-assumption of
servicing responsibilities by the Master Servicer with respect to any such
Mortgage Loan upon its becoming a Corrected Loan, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall each transfer to the other, as and when applicable, the
servicing of all other Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans constituting part of
the same Cross-Collateralized Group; provided that no Cross-Collateralized
Mortgage Loan may become a Corrected Loan at anytime that a continuing Servicing
Transfer Event exists with respect to another Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan
in the same Cross-Collateralized Group.
(b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer
shall provide to the Custodian originals of newly executed documents included
within the definition of "Mortgage File" for inclusion in the related Mortgage
File (with a copy of each such original to the Master Servicer), and shall
provide to the Master Servicer copies of any additional related Loan
information, including correspondence with the related Mortgagor.
(c) Upon request (and to the extent not otherwise already provided
by the Special Servicer pursuant to its reporting obligations hereunder), the
Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each
Rating Agency (or such other Person as may be directed by the Master Servicer) a
statement in writing and in computer readable format (the form of such statement
to be agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) describing,
on a loan-by-loan and property-by-property basis, (1) insofar as it relates to
Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties, the information described in
clauses (vi) through (xv) of Section 4.02(a) (with respect to information set
forth in such clauses related to prior Distribution Dates and/or periods, the
Special Servicer may conclusively rely on information furnished to it by the
Master Servicer or the Trustee) and, insofar as it relates to the Special
Servicer, the information described in clauses (xxiv) and (xxx) of Section
4.02(a), (2) the amount of all payments, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received, and the amount of any Realized Loss
incurred, with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan during the related
Collection Period, and the amount of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds
and Liquidation Proceeds received, and the amount of any Realized Loss incurred,
with respect to each REO Property during the related Collection Period, (3) the
amount, purpose and date of all Servicing Advances made by the Special Servicer
with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Property during the related
Collection Period, (4) in writing, a brief narrative summary of the status of
each Specially Serviced Loan, (5) the CMSA Special Servicer Loan File and (6)
such additional information relating to the Specially Serviced Loans and REO
Properties as the Master Servicer reasonably requests to enable it to perform
its responsibilities under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this subsection (c), the Master Servicer shall maintain ongoing
payment records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced Loans and REO
Properties and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information
reasonably available to the Master Servicer required by the Special Servicer to
perform its duties under this Agreement.
Section 3.23 Sub-Servicing Agreements.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (with the consent
of the Controlling Class Directing Holder) may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of
their respective obligations hereunder, provided that in each case, the
Sub-Servicing Agreement:
(i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects,
requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable conditions
of this Agreement and, with the exception of Sections 7.01(a)(x), (xi) and
(xii), provides for events of default with respect to the Sub-Servicer
substantially the same as those set forth in Section 7.01 (modified as
necessary to apply to the Sub-Servicer's obligations under the
Sub-Servicing Agreement);
(ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity
hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its
designee may thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent
they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, under such agreement
or may terminate such sub-servicing agreement without cause and without
payment of any penalty or termination fee (provided, however, that those
Sub-Servicing Agreements in effect as of the Closing Date (or, if being
negotiated as of the Closing Date, in effect within 90 days thereafter)
may only be terminated by the Trustee or its designee as contemplated by
Section 3.23(d) hereof and in such additional manner as is provided in
such Sub-Servicing Agreement);
(iii) provides that the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and, in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement relating
to a Loan Group, the related Companion Loan Noteholders, shall each be a
third party beneficiary under such agreement, but that (except to the
extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, thereunder as
contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the
Trustee, the Trust, any successor Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or
any Companion Loan Noteholder, as the case may be, or any
Certificateholder shall have any duties under such agreement or any
liabilities arising therefrom;
(iv) permits any purchaser of a Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this Agreement to terminate such agreement with respect to such purchased
Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty;
(v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to enter into or consent to any
modification, extension, waiver or amendment or otherwise take any action
on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer contemplated by
Section 3.08, Section 3.09 and Section 3.21 hereof or to foreclose on any
Mortgage without the consent of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as the case may be;
(vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of
indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust Fund;
(vii) each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master
Servicer (including any with an effective date on or before the Closing
Date) provides that such agreement shall, with respect to any Serviced
Loan serviced thereunder, terminate at the time such Loan becomes a
Specially Serviced Loan (or, alternatively, be subject to the Special
Servicer's rights to service such Loan for so long as such Loan continues
to be a Specially Serviced Loan); and
(viii) each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Special
Servicer provides that it relates only to Specially Serviced Loans and
shall terminate with respect to any such Loan which ceases to be a
Specially Serviced Loan.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall deliver to
the Trustee and each other copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements (and, to each
of the Companion Loan Noteholders, copies of any Sub-Servicing Agreement in
respect of the Companion Loans, and to the Trustee for distribution to each of
the Holders of the Class OEA-B Certificates, copies of any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in respect of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan), as well as
any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it promptly
upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement
to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; and, in connection
therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer to satisfy the obligations
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder to make P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, out of its own funds and,
accordingly, such P&I Advances or Servicing Advances shall be recoverable by
such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such
Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be. For so long as they are outstanding, Advances shall accrue interest in
accordance with Sections 3.12(b), 4.03(d) and 4.03A(d), such interest to be
allocable between the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, and such Sub-Servicer as they may agree. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be deemed to have received
any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment. The Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall notify the other, the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Controlling Class Certificateholders, if a Loan Group is
affected, the related Companion Loan Noteholders, and if the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Loan Group is affected, the Trustee for notice to the Holders of the Class OEA-B
Certificates in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer.
(b) Each Sub-Servicer (i) shall be authorized to transact business
in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to
service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law, and (ii)
except for any Sub-Servicer that is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans on the
Closing Date, shall be an approved conventional seller/servicer of mortgage
loans for FHLMC or Xxxxxx Mae or a HUD-Approved Servicer.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, for the benefit of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders and, in the case of the Companion Loans,
also for the benefit of the related Companion Loan Noteholders, shall (at no
expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Companion Loan Noteholders
or the Trust Fund) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of their
respective Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing Agreements. Such
enforcement, including the legal prosecution of claims, termination of
Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the
pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to
such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the
owner of the subject Serviced Loans.
(d) In the event of the resignation, removal or other termination of
the Master Servicer or any successor Master Servicer hereunder for any reason,
the Trustee or other Person succeeding such resigning, removed or terminated
party as Master Servicer, shall elect, with respect to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in effect as of the Closing Date (or, if being negotiated as of the
Closing Date, in effect within 90 days thereafter) that still exists at the time
of such termination: (i) to assume the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under such Sub-Servicing Agreement and continue the sub-servicing
arrangements thereunder on the same terms (including the obligation to pay the
same sub-servicing fee); (ii) to enter into a new Sub-Servicing Agreement with
such Sub-Servicer on such terms as the Trustee or other successor Master
Servicer and such Sub-Servicer shall mutually agree (it being understood that
such Sub-Servicer is under no obligation to accept any such new Sub-Servicing
Agreement or to enter into or continue negotiations with the Trustee or other
successor Master Servicer); or (iii) to terminate the Sub-Servicing Agreement if
(but only if) an Event of Default (as defined in such Sub-Servicing Agreement)
has occurred and is continuing, without paying any sub-servicer termination fee,
and in any additional manner provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement.
The Sub-Servicers as to which Sub-Servicing Agreements are in effect
or being negotiated as of the Closing Date are listed on Exhibit K hereto.
(e) Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee, the
Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Noteholders for the performance of
their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with
the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions
as if each alone were servicing and administering the Serviced Loans and/or REO
Properties for which it is responsible.

Section 3.26 Certain Matters Regarding the Purchase of the Loan

If, pursuant to Section 2.03, Section 3.19 and Section 9.01, any
Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan is purchased or repurchased from the Trust Fund,
the purchaser thereof shall be bound by the terms of the related Co-Lender
Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the
Mortgage Note that was formerly part of the Trust Fund under the related
Co-Lender Agreement. All portions of the related Mortgage File and other
documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the
extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan.
Thereafter such Mortgage File shall be held by the holder of such purchased
Mortgage Loan, as applicable, or a custodian appointed thereby for the benefit
of the "Note A Lender" and the "Note B Lender" as their interests appear under
the related Co-Lender Agreement. If the related Servicing File is not already in
the possession of such party, it shall be delivered to the master servicer or
special servicer, as the case may be, under the separate servicing agreement for
the Loan Groups. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the 000 Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx Loan Group, if the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Pooled Trust Loan is purchased from
the Trust Fund, but the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan remains in the
Trust Fund, then the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group shall continue to be serviced
pursuant to this Agreement, and the Mortgage File (other than the Note for the
000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Pooled Trust Loan, which shall be delivered to the purchaser

the Master Servicer.
Section 3.27 Application of Default Charges.
(a) Any and all Default Charges that are actually collected with
respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan in the Mortgage Pool
(excluding any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Group) during any Collection
Period, shall be applied for the following purposes and in the following order,
in each case to the extent of the remaining portion of such Default Charges:
First, to pay to the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, in that order, any interest due and owing to such party
on any outstanding Advances made thereby with respect to the subject Mortgage
Loan or REO Mortgage Loan and reimbursed in the related Collection Period;
Second, to pay any other outstanding expenses (exclusive of Special
Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees) incurred with respect to the
subject Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan and that, if paid from a source other
than Default Charges collected with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan, would
constitute Additional Trust Fund Expenses;
Third, to reimburse the Trust for any interest on Advances paid to
the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer since
the Closing Date with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan,
which payment was made from a source other than Default Charges and not
previously reimbursed under this clause Third;
Fourth, to reimburse the Trust for any other Additional Trust Fund
Expenses (exclusive of Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout
Fees) paid since the Closing Date with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan or
REO Mortgage Loan, which payment was made from a source other than Default
Charges and not previously reimbursed under this clause Fourth; and
Fifth, to pay any remaining portion of such Default Charges (such
remaining portion, "Net Default Charges") as additional master servicing
compensation to the Master Servicer, to the extent received, if they were
accrued in respect of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or as additional
special servicing compensation to the Special Servicer, to the extent received,
if they were accrued in respect of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an REO
Mortgage Loan, in each case pursuant to Section 3.11.
(b) Default Charges applied to reimburse the Trust pursuant to
clauses Third and Fourth, of subsection (a), are intended to be part of the
amounts to be delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to the
first paragraph of Section 3.04(b) on or before the Master Servicer Remittance
Date next following the Collection Period during which they were received, for
deposit in the Distribution Account, subject to application pursuant to Section
3.05(a) for any items payable out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans
and any REO Properties. Default Charges applied to pay outstanding interest on
Advances to any particular party pursuant to clause First of subsection (a)
shall be applied to pay such party such interest on Advances in such manner that
the interest that accrued first and has been outstanding the longest shall be
paid first. Default Charges applied to pay outstanding expenses pursuant to
clause Second of subsection (a) shall be applied to pay such expenses in the
chronological order in which they were incurred. Default Charges applied to
reimburse the Trust pursuant to clauses Third and Fourth, of subsection (a)
shall be deemed to offset either interest paid on Advances or other Additional
Trust Fund Expenses, depending on which clause is applicable, in the
chronological order in which they were made or incurred, as applicable
(whereupon such interest paid on Advances or such other Additional Trust Fund
Expenses, depending on which clause is applicable, shall thereafter be deemed to
have been paid out of Default Charges).
(c) Any and all Default Charges that are actually collected with
respect to any Serviced Loan Group or any successor REO Loan with respect
thereto during any Collection Period (as allocable thereto pursuant to the
related loan agreement), shall be applied for the following purposes and in the
following order, in each case to the extent of the remaining portion of such

or the Special Servicer, in that order, any interest due and owing to such party

Group or REO Loan or the related Loan Group Mortgaged Property and reimbursed in
the related Collection Period (to be applied with respect to any particular
party in such manner that the interest that accrued first and has been
outstanding the longest shall be paid first);
Second, to pay to the Fiscal Agent, any Other Backup Advancer, the
Trustee or the Master Servicer, in that order, any interest due and owing to
such party on any outstanding P&I Advances made thereby with respect to such
Loan Group or REO Loan or the related Loan Group Mortgaged Property and
reimbursed in the related Collection Period (to be applied with respect to any
particular party in such manner that the interest that accrued first and has
been outstanding the longest shall be paid first);
Third, to pay any other outstanding expenses (exclusive of Special
Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees) incurred with respect to such
Loan Group or REO Loan and that, if paid from a source other than such Default
Charges collected with respect to such Loan Group, would constitute Additional
Trust Fund Expenses;
Fourth, to reimburse the Trust or any Companion Loan Noteholder for
any interest on Advances paid to the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer since the Closing Date with respect to such
Loan Group or REO Loan, which payment was made from a source other than Default
Charges and not previously reimbursed under this clause Fourth or clause Third
under Section 3.27(a);
Fifth, to reimburse the Trust or any Companion Loan Noteholder for
any other Additional Trust Fund Expenses (exclusive of Special Servicing Fees,
Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees) paid since the Closing Date with respect to
such Loan Group or REO Loan, which payment was made from a source other than
Default Charges and not previously reimbursed under this clause Fifth or clause
Fourth under Section 3.27(a); and
Sixth, to pay any remaining portion of such Default Charges (such
remaining portion, "Net Default Charges") as additional master servicing
compensation to the Master Servicer, to the extent received, if they were
accrued with respect to such Companion Loan during a period that it was a
Performing Serviced Loan, or as additional special servicing compensation to the
Special Servicer, to the extent received, if they were accrued with respect to
such Companion Loan during a period that it was a Specially Serviced Loan or an
REO Loan, in each case pursuant to Section 3.11.
Section 3.28 Limitations on and Authorizations of the Master
Servicer and Special Servicer with Respect to Specific Mortgage Loans.
(a) With respect to any Mortgage Loans that provide for a "cash
trap" provision whereby excess cash in an account controlled by the lender (i)
is not released to the related Mortgagor and (ii) may, at the lender's
discretion, be applied as a prepayment on the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall not apply any of such excess cash as prepayment of the related Mortgage
Loan unless the Special Servicer consents.
(b) In the event that a Servicing Advance made by the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer (if applicable), the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
with respect to a Serviced Loan Group in accordance with this Agreement becomes
a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer (on behalf of the Trust Fund)
shall seek reimbursement from the holders of the related Pari Passu Companion
Loans (including, in the case of a holder that is a securitization trust, from
general funds in the related collection account) for such holder's pro rata
share (based on the principal balance of the applicable Pari Passu Companion
Loan) of such Nonrecoverable Advance, but only to the extent such party is
liable therefore under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement. To the
extent that such amounts together with amounts from the Pool Custodial Account
are insufficient to cover the whole Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer
shall seek reimbursement for the full amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance from
the holders of such Pari Passu Companion Loans (including any securitization
trust) to the extent permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement (including
reimbursement out of general funds in the collection account established in
connection with a securitization trust); provided that the allocation of such
reimbursements among all holders of Loans in the related Loan Group (including
any holder that is a securitization trust) shall be as nearly as possible pro
rata (based on the principal balance of the related Loans).
Section 3.29 Additional Matters with respect to the Southland Mall
and Deerbrook Mall Mortgage Loans.
(a) In the event that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (a
"Repurchasing Seller") with respect to the Deerbrook Mall Loan or the Southland
Mall Loan repurchases its respective Mortgage Note (a "Repurchased Note"), the
provisions of this Section 3.29 shall apply, and each related Mortgage Loan
Seller has agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as follows
with respect to the servicing and administration of the Deerbrook Mall Loan or
Southland Mall Loan, as applicable, in the event of such a repurchase unless and
until such time as both related Mortgage Notes are repurchased or otherwise no
longer part of the Trust, and the related successor holders thereof have entered
into a servicing agreement with respect to such Mortgage Notes. For purposes of
this Section 3.29 only, "Mortgage Note" shall mean each original promissory note
that collectively represents the Mortgage Note (as defined in Article I) with
respect to the Deerbrook Mall Loan or the Southland Mall Loan, respectively, and
shall not be a collective reference to such promissory notes.
(b) Custody of and record title under the Loan documents with
respect to the related 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 and shall be applied on each Due
Date pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective
Repurchased Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.29(a)(ii). Payments
or any other amounts received with respect to the related Repurchased Note
shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Repurchasing Seller and
remitted (net of its pro rata share of any Master Servicing Fees, Special
Servicing Fees, and any other amounts due to the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer) to the Repurchasing Seller or its designee by the Master
Servicer on each Distribution Date pursuant to instructions provided by
the Repurchasing Seller and deposited and applied in accordance with this
Agreement, subject to Section 3.29(a)(ii). In the event that such Mortgage
Loan shall becomes an REO Loan, payments or any other amounts received
with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be collected and shall be applied
on each Due Date pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its
respective Repurchased Percentage Interest, subject to Section
3.29(a)(ii).
(ii) In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate
amount due under such Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the
Repurchasing Seller shall receive from the Master Servicer an amount equal
to the Repurchasing Seller's Repurchased Percentage Interest such payment.
All expenses, losses and shortfalls relating solely to such Mortgage Loan
including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest,
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances, interest on Servicing Advances, Special
Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees (including any such fees
related to the related Mortgage Notes), will be allocated between the
holders of such Mortgage Notes pro rata based on their respective
Repurchased Percentage Interest of such losses and expenses. In no event
shall any costs, expenses, fees or any other amounts related to any Loan
other than the Deerbrook Mall Loan or Southland Mall Loan, as applicable,
be deducted from payments or any other amounts received with respect to
such Mortgage Loan and payable to the Repurchasing Seller. For purposes of
this Section 3.29, "Repurchased Percentage Interest" shall mean the 50%
interest of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in the related Mortgage
Loan.
(iii) Such Mortgage Loan shall be serviced for the benefit of the
each Repurchasing Seller and, if applicable, the Certificateholders
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement in accordance with
the Servicing Standard and in accordance with the provisions herein as if
such Loan was a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. For so long as the
Mortgage Loan shall be serviced by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the holders
thereof shall administer such Mortgage Loan consistent with the terms of
this Agreement with respect to Serviced Loan Groups. The Repurchasing
Seller shall not be permitted to terminate the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer as servicer or special servicer of the related Repurchased Note.
All rights of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan will be exercised by
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund to
the extent of its interest therein and the Repurchasing Seller in
accordance with the Agreement.
(iv) Such Mortgage Loan shall, consistent with this Agreement, be
serviced as if it were a Serviced Loan Group. Each Repurchasing Seller
shall be treated hereunder as if it were a Companion Loan Noteholder on a
pari passu basis. Funds collected by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, and applied to the Mortgage Notes shall be
deposited and disbursed in accordance with the provisions hereof relating
to holders of Companion Loans that are pari passu in right of payment.
Compensation shall be paid to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
with respect to the related Repurchased Note as provided in this Agreement
with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. None of the Trustee,
the Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have
any obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to the related
Repurchased Note. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no reporting requirement with
respect to the related Repurchased Note other than to deliver to the
related Repurchased Noteholder any document required to be delivered to a
Companion Loan Noteholder hereunder.
(c) If either Mortgage Note is considered a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, then both Mortgage Notes shall 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 Repurchasing
Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement
and shall be entitled to any Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee or Liquidation
Fee payable to the Special Servicer under the Agreement with respect to a
Serviced Companion Loan.
(d) If (A) the Master Servicer shall pay any amount to the
Repurchasing Seller pursuant hereto in the belief or expectation that a related
payment has been made or will be received or collected in connection with either
or both of the Mortgage Loans and (B) such related payment is not received or
collected by the Master Servicer, then the Repurchasing Seller will promptly on
demand by the Master Servicer return such amount to the Master Servicer. If the
Master Servicer determines at any time that any amount received or collected by
the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans must be returned to the
related Mortgagor or paid to any other person or entity pursuant to any
insolvency law or otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to distribute any portion
thereof to the Repurchasing Seller, and the Repurchasing Seller will promptly on
demand by the Master Servicer repay, which obligation shall survive the
termination of this Agreement, any portion thereof that the Master Servicer
shall have distributed to the Repurchasing Seller, together with interest
thereon at such rate, if any, as the Master Servicer may pay to the related
Mortgagor or such other person or entity with respect thereto.
(e) Subject to this Agreement, the Master Servicer, or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the holders of the Repurchased Note, shall
have the exclusive right and obligation to (i) administer, service and make all
decisions and determinations regarding the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) enforce the
Loan documents as provided hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
preceding sentence, the Master Servicer, or Special Servicer, as applicable, may
agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive interest
on and principal of, capitalize interest on, permit the release, addition or
substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release of the related
Mortgagor on or any guarantor of any Mortgage Loan it is required to service and
administer hereunder, without the consent of the Repurchasing Seller, subject,
however, to the terms of this Agreement.
(f) In taking or refraining from taking any action permitted
hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be subject to
the same degree of care with respect to the administration and servicing of the
Mortgage Loans as is consistent with this Agreement; and shall only be liable to
the Repurchasing Seller to the extent set forth herein with respect to any
holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.
(g) In the event that the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer has made a Servicing Advance with respect to
such Mortgage Loan which would otherwise be reimbursable to such advancing party
under this Agreement, and such Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance, the Repurchasing Seller shall reimburse the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent,
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in an amount equal to
its Repurchased Percentage Interest such Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Repurchasing Seller will not be obligated to reimburse the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, Master Servicer or Special Servicer (and amounts due
to the Repurchasing Seller shall not be offset) for Advances or interest thereon
or any amounts related to Loans other than such Mortgage Loan or for P&I
Advances or interest thereon with respect to such Mortgage Loan. To the extent
that the Repurchasing Seller reimburses any such Nonrecoverable Advances and
such amounts are subsequently recovered, the Repurchasing Seller shall receive a
reimbursement from such recovery based on its Repurchased Percentage Interest of
such recovery. This reimbursement right shall not limit the Trustee's, the
Fiscal Agent, Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's rights to
reimbursement under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the total liability of the Repurchasing Seller shall not
exceed an amount equal to its Repurchased Percentage Interest.
(h) The Repurchasing Seller shall have the right to assign the
related Repurchased Note; provided that the assignee of the related Repurchased
Note shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
(i) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, in
connection with their servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement,
exercise efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Repurchasing Seller as a holder of a pari passu interest in the
Loan, any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other
documents and instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage
or other security document related to the Mortgage Loans on the Mortgaged

(c) Reserved.
(d) All distributions made with respect to each Class of

Interests. Except as otherwise provided below, all such distributions with
respect to each Class on each Distribution Date shall be made to the
Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on
the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other
entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall
have provided the Trustee with wiring instructions no less than five Business
Days prior to (or, in the case of the initial Distribution Date, on) the related
Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order
applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed
to the address of such Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate
Register. The final distribution on each Certificate (determined, in the case of
a Principal Balance Certificate, without regard to any possible future
reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously
allocated to such Certificate pursuant to Section 4.04(a)) will be made in a
like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the
notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution. Prior to any
termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01, any distribution that is
to be made with respect to a Certificate in reimbursement of a Realized Loss or
Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated thereto, which reimbursement
is to occur after the date on which such Certificate is surrendered as
contemplated by the preceding sentence, will be made by check mailed to the
address of the Certificateholder that surrendered such Certificate as such
address last appeared in the Certificate Register or to any other address of
which the Trustee was subsequently notified in writing. If such check is
returned to the Trustee, then the Trustee, directly or through an agent, shall
take such reasonable steps to contact the related Holder and deliver such check
as it shall deem appropriate. Any funds in respect of a check returned to the
Trustee shall be set aside by the Trustee and held uninvested in trust and
credited to the account of the appropriate Holder. The costs and expenses of
locating the appropriate Holder and holding such funds shall be paid out of such
funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount
held in trust hereunder. If the Trustee has not, after having taken such
reasonable steps, located the related Holder by the second anniversary of the
initial sending of a check, the Trustee shall, subject to applicable law,
distribute the unclaimed funds to the Class R-II Certificateholders.
(e) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall
be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the related Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect
participating brokerage firm for which it acts as agent. Each indirect
participating brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the
related Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or
applicable law. The Trustee and the Depositor shall perform their respective
obligations under each Letter of Representations among the Depositor, the
Trustee and the initial Depository dated as of the Closing Date and pertaining
to the Book-Entry Certificates.
(f) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions
from the proceeds of the Trust Fund with respect to the Certificates, and all
rights and interests of the Certificateholders in and to such distributions,
shall be as set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of
Certificates nor any party hereto shall in any way be responsible or liable to
the Holders of any other Class of Certificates with respect to amounts properly
previously distributed on the Certificates.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the
Trustee receives written notification of or expects that the final distribution
with respect to any Class of Certificates (determined, in the case of a Class of
Principal Balance Certificates, without regard to any possible future
reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously
allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(a)) will be
made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than the second
Business Day prior to such Distribution Date, mail to each Holder of record of
such Class of Certificates on such date a notice to the effect that:
(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to
such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the
Certificate Registrar or at such other location therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after
the end of the Interest Accrual Period for such Distribution Date.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class
on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to
tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested
in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate
non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been
given pursuant to this Section 4.01(g) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, then the Trustee, directly or through an agent, shall take such
steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the
surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and
expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such non-tendering
Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such
second notice thereto shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue
or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust pursuant to this
paragraph. If all of the Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant
to this Section 4.01(g) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation by the
second anniversary of the delivery of the second notice, the Trustee shall,
subject to applicable law, distribute to the Class R-II Certificateholders all
unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject thereto.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. If the Trustee
does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or
advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding
requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.
(i) During each Interest Accrual Period, each Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interest shall accrue interest in an amount equal to the product of
the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such Uncertificated Lower-Tier

respect of such Component's Corresponding Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest.
All distributions of reimbursements of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund
Expenses made in respect of any Class of Principal Balance Certificates on each

(A) the Master Servicer shall so notify the Trustee, set forth such information

the Master Servicer (the "Supplemental Report"), and deliver such report to the
Trustee upon preparation thereof or simultaneously with the delivery of its

During any period that reports are required to be filed with the
Commission with respect to the Trust pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, each recipient of a Certificateholder Report, a CMSA NOI Adjustment

agreed to keep confidential the information therein until such statement or

of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have any
obligation to verify the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by

(if appropriate) the items relating to distributions of interest (including
Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges) and principal to
Certificateholders during such calendar year set forth in the Distribution Date
Statements and such other information as may be required to enable such
Certificateholders to prepare their federal income tax returns. Such information
shall include the amount of original issue discount accrued on each Class of
Certificates and information regarding the expenses of the Trust Fund. Such
requirement shall be deemed to be satisfied to the extent such information is
provided pursuant to applicable requirements of the Code from time to time in
force.
Upon receipt of notice from the Depositor that the Underwriters have
sold the Non-Registered Certificates to unaffiliated third parties, the Trustee
shall make available electronically or, if so requested, forward by hard copy,

Upon written request of the Depositor or any Underwriter, without

other Person, together with payment of a reasonable fee specified by the
Trustee, the Trustee shall provide any statements, reports and/or information
contemplated by this Section 4.02(a) electronically to such party (such
electronic distribution and such statements, reports, and/or information thereon
to bear such appropriate disclaimers and qualifications as the Depositor and the
Trustee shall determine in their reasonable discretion).
If any Certificate Owner does not receive through the Depository or
any of its Depository Participants any of the statements, reports and/or other
written information described above in this Section 4.02(a) that it would
otherwise be entitled to receive if it were the Holder of a Definitive
Certificate evidencing its ownership interest in the related Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, then the Trustee shall forward such statements, reports and/or
other written information to such Certificate Owner as provided above, upon the
request of such Certificate Owner made in writing to the Corporate Trust Office
(accompanied by current verification of such Certificate Owner's ownership
interest). Such portion of such information as may be agreed upon by the
Depositor and the Trustee shall be furnished to any such Person via overnight
courier delivery or telecopy from the Trustee; provided that the cost of such
overnight courier delivery or telecopy shall be an expense of the party
requesting such information.
The Trustee shall only be obligated to deliver the statements,
reports and information contemplated by this Section 4.02(a) to the extent it
receives, in the format required by this Agreement, the necessary underlying
information from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and
shall not be liable for any failure to deliver any thereof on the prescribed due
dates, to the extent caused by failure to receive timely such underlying
information. Nothing herein shall obligate the Trustee, the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer to violate any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information with respect to any Mortgagor and the failure of the Trustee, Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer to disseminate information for such reason
shall not be a breach hereof.
The information to be furnished by the Trustee to the
Certificateholders pursuant to Sections 4.02(a) and (b) shall not limit the
Trustee in furnishing any such information to other Persons to whom it
determines such disclosure to be appropriate and shall not limit the Trustee in
furnishing to Certificateholders or to any Person any other information with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Properties or the Trust Fund as may
be provided to it by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
or gathered by it in any investigation or other manner from time to time (such
information, other than as described in Sections 4.02(a) and (b), is referred to
herein as "Additional Information") as it may reasonably deem necessary or
appropriate from time to time, provided that (A) the Trustee shall give the
Depositor three Business Days' advance notice before doing so, (B) any such
Additional Information shall only be furnished with the consent or at the
request of the Depositor (except pursuant to clause (E) below), (C) the Trustee
shall be entitled to indicate the source of all information furnished by it, and
the Trustee may affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its
reasonable discretion, (D) the Trustee shall notify Certificateholders of the
availability of any such information in any manner as it, in its sole
discretion, may determine, and (E) this provision shall not prevent the Trustee,
whether with or without the consent of the Depositor, from furnishing
information with respect to the Trust Fund and its administration thereof to any
Person, if it reasonably determines that the furnishing of such information is
required by applicable law. The Trustee shall forward to the Depositor any
requests for Additional Information which, for their fulfillment, require the
consent of the Depositor. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose upon the
Trustee any obligation or duty to furnish or distribute any Additional
Information to any Person in any instance.
(b) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second
Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall furnish
to the Trustee, and upon request, to the Depositor, the Underwriters and the
Special Servicer, by electronic transmission (or in such other form to which the
Trustee or the Depositor, as the case may be, and the Master Servicer may
agree), an accurate and complete CMSA Loan Periodic Update File providing the
required information for the Mortgage Loans and any successor REO Mortgage Loans
as of the related Determination Date.
In the performance of its obligations set forth in Section 4.06 and
its other duties hereunder, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the CMSA Loan
Periodic Update File provided to it by the Master Servicer, and the Trustee
shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify the information
provided to it by the Master Servicer. In the case of information to be
furnished by the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to this Section
4.02(b), insofar as such information is solely within the control of the Special
Servicer, the Master Servicer (if other than the Special Servicer or an
Affiliate thereof) shall have no obligation to provide such information until it
has received such information from the Special Servicer, shall not be in default
hereunder due to a delay in providing the CMSA Loan Periodic Update File caused
by the Special Servicer's failure to timely provide any report required under
this Agreement and may, absent actual knowledge of an error therein,
conclusively rely on the reports to be provided by the Special Servicer. The
Master Servicer may conclusively rely on any information provided by the
Depositor or any Mortgagor with respect to the CMSA Loan Periodic Update File,
CMSA Loan Setup File, CMSA Property File and CMSA Financial File.
Section 4.03 P&I Advances.
(a) On or before 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Master
Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall, subject to Section 4.03(c)
below, satisfy its obligations to make any required P&I Advances with respect to
the related Distribution Date in respect of the Mortgage Pool (other than the
Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans or any successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect
thereto), first, by transferring to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account amounts then held in the Pool Custodial Account for future distribution
to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of such obligations, and
second, by remitting its own funds to the Trustee for deposit in a Distribution
Account in an amount equal to the remaining portion of such required P&I
Advances. Any amounts held in the Pool Custodial Account for future distribution
and so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Master
Servicer's records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Pool
Custodial Account on or before the next succeeding Determination Date (to the
extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the
delinquent principal and interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were
made). If, as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Master Servicer
Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall not have made any P&I Advance
required to be made on such date pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) (and shall not
have delivered to the Trustee the requisite Officer's Certificate and
documentation related to a determination of nonrecoverability of a P&I Advance),
then the Trustee shall provide notice of such failure to a Servicing Officer of
the Master Servicer by facsimile transmission sent to telecopy no. (704)
593-7740 (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee in writing) and by telephone at telephone no. (000) 000-0000 or (704)
593-7867 (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee in writing) as soon as possible, but in any event before 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on such Master Servicer Remittance Date. If after such notice by
facsimile, the Trustee does not receive the full amount of such P&I Advances by
11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the related Distribution Date, then the
Trustee (or the Fiscal Agent on its behalf) shall make the portion of such P&I
Advances that was required to be, but was not, made by the Master Servicer on
such Master Servicer Remittance Date. If the Trustee fails to make any such P&I
Advance on the related Distribution Date, but the Fiscal Agent makes such P&I
Advance on such date, then the Trustee shall be deemed not to be in default
hereunder.
(b) The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to the
first paragraph of Section 4.03(a) in respect of any Distribution Date shall,
subject to Section 4.03(c) below, equal the aggregate of all Monthly Payments
(other than Balloon Payments) and any Assumed Monthly Payments, in each case net
of related Master Servicing Fees and any related Workout Fees, due or deemed
due, as the case may be, in respect of the Mortgage Loans (including Balloon
Mortgage Loans delinquent as to their respective Balloon Payments) and any REO
Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool (exclusive of the Loan Group Trust Mortgage
Loans or any successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto) on their
respective Due Dates during the related Collection Period, in each case to the
extent such amount was not paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor or
otherwise collected (including as net income from REO Properties) as of the
close of business on the related Determination Date; provided that if it is
determined that an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to any such
Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, then, in the event of subsequent
delinquencies thereon, the amount of each P&I Advance, if any, required to be
made in respect of such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be,
during the period that such Appraisal Reduction Amount continues to exist, shall
be reduced to equal the product of (x) the amount of the subject P&I Advance
that would otherwise be required without regard to this proviso, multiplied by
(y) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance
of such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, net of such
Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may
be.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance
shall be required to be made under this Section 4.03 if such P&I Advance would,
if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, as determined by the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent. The
determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a P&I Advance has
become a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made
pursuant to this Section 4.03, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance,
shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the
Special Servicer (in the case of a determination made by the Master Servicer),
the Master Servicer (in the case of a determination made by the Special
Servicer), the Fiscal Agent and the Depositor on or before the related Master
Servicer Remittance Date, setting forth the basis for such determination,
together with any other information that supports such determination, including
an appraisal (which appraisal shall have been conducted by an Independent
Appraiser within the 12-month period preceding such determination in accordance
with the standards of the Appraisal Institute taking into account the factors
specified in Section 3.19), related Mortgagor operating statements and financial
statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Properties (to the
extent available and/or in the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's
possession), engineers' reports, environmental surveys and any similar reports
that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may have obtained consistent with
the Servicing Standard and at the expense of the Trust Fund, that support such
determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer. If, in connection with
the foregoing, it is necessary for the Master Servicer to obtain an appraisal,
the Master Servicer shall so notify the Special Servicer and consult with the
Special Servicer regarding such appraisal. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent
shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance, if made, would be a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer has
failed to make a P&I Advance for reasons other than a determination by the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer that such P&I Advance would be
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, the Trustee or Fiscal Agent shall make such Advance
within the time periods required by Section 4.03(a) unless the Trustee or the
Fiscal Agent, in its good faith, reasonable discretion, makes a determination
prior to the times specified in Section 4.03(a) that such P&I Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. If the Special Servicer determines that a P&I
Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or that a P&I Advance previously made
is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Special Servicer shall report its determination
to the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on such determination. In addition, the Master Servicer and Special
Servicer shall consider Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts in respect of
prior P&I Advances on the applicable Mortgage Loan that have not been repaid by
the related Mortgagor for the purposes of nonrecoverability determinations as if
such amounts were xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances.
(d) The Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall each
be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to
time, compounded annually, accrued on the amount of each P&I Advance made
thereby under this Section 4.03 (with its own funds) for so long as such P&I
Advance is outstanding; provided that, if the grace period for the delinquent
Monthly Payment as to which a P&I Advance was made under this Section has not
elapsed as of the time such P&I Advance was made, then the total interest so
accrued on such P&I Advance prior to the expiration of such grace period, shall
not exceed the amount of Default Charges, if any, collected in connection with
the late payment of such delinquent Monthly Payment; and provided, further that,
in no event shall interest so accrue on any P&I Advance as to which the
corresponding Late Collection was received by the Master Servicer or a
Sub-Servicer on its behalf as of the related Master Servicer Remittance Date.
Interest so accrued on any P&I Advance made under this Section shall be payable
in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and Section 3.05A.
Xxxxxxx 0.00X. X&X Advances on the Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans
and 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Pari Passu Companion Loans.
(a) With respect to the P&I Advances and the Loan Groups:
(i) in the case of the Tier 2 Loan Groups and Tier 3 Loan Groups,
the Master Servicer shall make P&I Advances with respect to the related
Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans, but will not make P&I Advances with
respect to the related Companion Loans.
(ii) in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the Master
Servicer shall make P&I Advances with respect to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Pooled Trust Loan and each of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Pari Passu Companion
Loans that are assets in a securitization that is rated by S&P, Xxxxx'x
and/or Fitch Ratings (but not the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Subordinate Loans);
(iii) in the case of the 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, Xxxxx Fargo
Tower Loan Group and 1801 K Street Loan Group, the Master Servicer shall
make P&I Advances only (1) with respect to the related Loan Group Trust
Mortgage Loan and (2) if such P&I Advance was required to be made by the
GCCFC C2 Master Servicer, pursuant to the GCCFC C2 PSA, and the GCCFC C2
Master Servicer failed to make such P&I Advance;
(iv) in the case of the Water Tower Place Loan Group, the 5 Houston
Center Loan Group and the DDR Portfolio Loan Group, the Master Servicer
shall make P&I Advances with respect to the related Loan Group Trust
Mortgage Loan unless it has determined that such P&I Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance.
The Master Servicer shall, subject to Section 4.03A(c) below,
satisfy its obligations to make any required P&I Advance on each Master Servicer
Remittance Date (with respect to the Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans) and Loan
Group Remittance Date (with respect to the related Companion Loans, as required)
in respect of (i) the Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans (excluding the 000 Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan) and (ii) the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans,
from and after the date on which such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is an
asset in a securitization that is rated by S&P, Xxxxx'x or Fitch Ratings, by
depositing into the related Loan Group Custodial Account (or in the case of any
Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan that is not a Serviced Loan, by depositing in the
Pool Custodial Account), out of amounts held in such Custodial Account for
future distribution (subject to replacement of such amounts by the following
Master Servicer Remittance Date) and, if such amounts are insufficient, then out
of its own funds, the amount of such P&I Advance required to be made. P&I
Advances with respect to (i) any Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan (excluding the
000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan) shall be made no later than 2:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on each Master Servicer Remittance Date and (ii) any
Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is an asset in a securitization, by 2:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Loan Group Remittance Date. If, as of
4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Master Servicer Remittance Date, the
Master Servicer shall not have made any P&I Advance required to be made on such
date pursuant to this Section 4.03A(a) in respect of the Loan Group Trust
Mortgage Loans (excluding the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan) (and the
Master Servicer shall not have delivered to the Trustee the requisite Officer's
Certificate and documentation related to a determination of nonrecoverability of
a P&I Advance), then the Trustee shall provide notice of such failure to a
Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer by facsimile transmission sent to
telecopy no. (000) 000-0000 (or such alternative number provided by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee in writing) and by telephone at telephone no. (704)
000-0000 or (000) 000-0000 (or such alternative number provided by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee in writing) as soon as possible, but in any event before
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Master Servicer Remittance Date. The
Trustee shall also provide a copy of such notice to the master servicer of the
securitization holding the related Pari Passu Companion Loan, such obligation
being contingent upon such Master Servicer having previously provided notice to
the Trustee; provided, however that the Trustee has actual knowledge that the
related Pari Passu Companion Loan is included in such securitization based upon
a notice received from such master servicer. If after such notice, the Trustee
does not receive the full amount of such P&I Advance(s) by 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the related Distribution Date, then the Trustee (or the Fiscal
Agent on its behalf) shall make the portion of such P&I Advances that was
required to be, but was not, made by the Master Servicer in respect of the Loan
Group Trust Mortgage Loans (excluding the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust
Loan) or any successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto on the preceding
Master Servicer Remittance Date. If the Trustee fails to make any such P&I
Advance on the related Distribution Date, but the Fiscal Agent makes such P&I
Advance on such date, then the Trustee shall be deemed not to be in default
hereunder. In addition, if, as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Loan
Group Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall not have made any P&I Advance
required to be made on such date pursuant to this Section 4.03A(a) in respect of
a Pari Passu Companion Loan that is an asset of a securitization, the Master
Servicer shall provide notice of such failure to the master servicer of the
securitization holding the related Pari Passu Companion Loan.
(b) The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to the
first paragraph of Section 4.03A(a) in respect of any Distribution Date shall,
subject to Section 4.03A(c) below, equal the aggregate of all Monthly Payments
(other than Balloon Payments) and any Assumed Monthly Payments, in each case net
of related Master Servicing Fees (and net of any servicing fees due to any
related Lead Master Servicer or Subsequent Master Servicer) and any related
Workout Fees, due or deemed due, as the case may be, in respect of the Loan
Group Trust Mortgage Loans (excluding the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust
Loan) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans as to which the Master
Servicer is required to make such Advance (including Balloon Loans delinquent as
to their respective Balloon Payments) and any successor REO Loans to such Loans
on their respective Due Dates during the related Collection Period, (i) in each
case, to the extent such amount was not paid by or on behalf of the related
Mortgagor or otherwise collected (including as net income from REO Properties)
as of the close of business on the related Determination Date, or (ii) in the
case of the 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx Fargo Tower Trust Loan and 1801 K
Street Trust Loan, to the extent such amount was required to be advanced by the
GCCFC C2 Master Servicer, pursuant to the GCCFC C2 PSA and the GCCFC C2 Master
Servicer failed to make such advance by noon (New York City time) on the Master
Servicer Remittance Date; provided that if it is determined that an Appraisal
Reduction Amount exists with respect to any such Loan Group or REO Loan, then,
in the event of subsequent delinquencies thereon, the amount of each P&I
Advance, if any, required to be made in respect of such Loan Group or REO Loan,
as the case may be, during the period that such Appraisal Reduction Amount
continues to exist, shall be reduced to equal the product of (x) the amount of
the subject P&I Advance that would otherwise be required without regard to this
proviso, multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the
Stated Principal Balance of the Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan(s) (excluding the
000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan) and any related Pari Passu Companion
Loan(s) (or related REO Loan), net of the portion of the applicable Appraisal
Reduction Amount allocated to such Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan(s) (excluding
the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan) and any related Pari Passu
Companion Loan(s), and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal
Balance of such Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan(s) (excluding the 000 Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan) and any related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (or
related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan) or, with respect to any Non-Serviced
Trust Loan, without regard to the balances of the related Pari Passu Companion
Loans if the Lead Master Servicer has performed such calculations and reported
the Appraisal Reduction Amount to the Master Servicer. For purposes of the
preceding sentence Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to a Loan Group
shall be applied first to the related Subordinate Companion Loan, if any, (or in
the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan, to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Subordinate
Companion Loan and 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan, pro rata) until its
balance is reduced to zero and then to the related Loan Group Trust Mortgage
Loan (excluding the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan) and, if applicable,
the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) pro rata, based on their respective
outstanding principal balances (and, in the case of a Non-Serviced Loan Group,
to the extent the applicable Lead Master Servicer has not notified the Master
Servicer that it previously applied such amounts).
With respect to P&I Advances and the Non-Serviced Trust Loans, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to rely on
the "appraisal reduction amount" calculated by the applicable Lead Special
Servicer or the applicable Lead Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of
the applicable Lead PSA.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance
shall be required to be made under this Section 4.03A with respect to Loan Group
Trust Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans, or related REO
Loans if such P&I Advance would if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I
Advance, as determined by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
or the Fiscal Agent. The determination by the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer that a P&I Advance has become a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any
proposed P&I Advance, if made pursuant to this Section 4.03A with respect to any
Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, or
related REO Loan, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be
evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to any Lead Master Servicer, any
Lead Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Special Servicer (in the case of a
determination made by the Master Servicer), the Master Servicer (in the case of
a determination made by the Special Servicer) on or prior to the next Master
Servicer Remittance Date and to the Companion Loan Noteholders (and the related
Subsequent Master Servicer, if applicable) for such Serviced Pari Passu
Companion Loan and Lead Master Servicer, any Lead Special Servicer for a
Non-Serviced Trust Loan within two Business Days after such determination was
made, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other
information that supports such determination, including except with respect to
any Non-Serviced Trust Loan, an appraisal (which appraisal shall be an expense
payable out of the related Loan Group Custodial Account or, if funds therein are
insufficient therefor or in the case of a Non-Serviced Trust Loan, from the Pool
Custodial Account) and shall have been conducted by an Independent Appraiser in
accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute, within the twelve
months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), Mortgagor operating
statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the Mortgaged
Property (to the extent available and/or in the Master Servicer's or the Special
Servicer's possession), engineers' reports, environmental surveys and any
similar reports that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may have obtained
consistent with the Servicing Standard and that support such determination by
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer. If, in connection with the foregoing,
it is necessary for the Master Servicer to obtain an appraisal, the Master
Servicer shall so notify the Special Servicer and consult with the Special
Servicer regarding such appraisal. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall be
entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer that a P&I Advance to be made in respect of the Loan Group
Trust Mortgage Loans or any successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto,
if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if the
Master Servicer has failed to make such a P&I Advance with respect to the Loan
Group Trust Mortgage Loans or any successor REO Mortgage Loan for reasons other
than a determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that such P&I
Advance would be Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee or Fiscal Agent shall make
such Advance within the time periods required by Section 4.03A(a) unless the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, in its good faith, reasonable discretion, makes a
determination prior to the times specified in Section 4.03A(a) that such P&I
Advance would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. If the Special Servicer
determines that a P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or that a P&I
Advance previously made is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Special Servicer shall
report such determination to the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination. In addition, the Master
Servicer and Special Servicer shall consider Workout-Delayed Reimbursement
Amounts in respect of prior P&I Advances on the applicable Loan that have not
been repaid by the related Mortgagor for the purposes of nonrecoverability
determinations as if such amounts were xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances.
(d) The Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall be
entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to
time, compounded annually, accrued on the amount of each P&I Advance made
thereby in respect of a Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan or any Serviced Pari
Passu Companion Loan or related REO Loans under this Section 4.03A (with its own
funds) for so long as such P&I Advance is outstanding; provided that, if the
grace period for the delinquent Monthly Payment as to which a P&I Advance was
made under this Section 4.03A has not elapsed as of the time such P&I Advance
was made, then the total interest so accrued on such P&I Advance prior to the
expiration of such grace period, shall not exceed the amount of Default Charges,
if any, collected in connection with the late payment of such delinquent Monthly
Payment; and provided, further, that in no event shall interest so accrue on any
P&I Advance in respect of a Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan or any Serviced Pari
Passu Companion Loan or related REO Loan as to which the corresponding Late
Collection was received by the Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer on its behalf
as of the Master Servicer Remittance Date or Loan Group Remittance Date, as
applicable, on which such P&I Advance was made. Interest so accrued on any P&I
Advance made under this Section shall be payable in accordance with the terms of
Section 3.05 and 3.05A.
None of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent shall make any P&I Advance with respect to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Non-Pooled Trust Loan or any Companion Loans other than, in the case of the
Master Servicer, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans.
(e) With respect to any Non-Serviced Loan Group, if (1) the related
Lead Master Servicer has determined that a proposed P&I Advance (as defined in
the Lead PSA) with respect to the Non-Serviced Trust Loan or any related Pari
Passu Companion Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I advance previously made,
would be, or is, as applicable, a "nonrecoverable advance," and the related Lead
Master Servicer has provided written notice of such determination to the Master
Servicer, or (2) if the Master Servicer has determined that a P&I Advance (or,
in the case of the 237 Park Loan Group, the Xxxxx Fargo Tower Loan Group and the
1801 K Street Loan Group, any back-up P&I Advance) with respect to the
Non-Serviced Trust Loan would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, then none of the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall make any additional P&I
Advance (or, in the case of the 237 Park Loan Group, the Xxxxx Fargo Tower Loan
Group and the 1801 K Street Loan Group, any back-up P&I Advance) with respect to
the Non-Serviced Trust Loan until the Master Servicer has consulted with the
Lead Master Servicer and they agree that circumstances with respect to such
Loans have changed such that a proposed future P&I Advance would not be a
"nonrecoverable advance." With respect to each Non-Serviced Trust Loan, if the
Master Servicer has determined that a proposed P&I Advance (or, in the case of
the 237 Park Loan Group, the Xxxxx Fargo Tower Loan Group and the 1801 K Street
Loan Group, any back-up P&I Advance) with respect to such Loan, would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide the applicable Lead
Master Servicer and any applicable Subsequent Master Servicer written notice of
such determination within two Business Days after such determination was made.
With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, if the
Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, or any
outstanding P&I Advance previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a
Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide the applicable
Subsequent Master Servicer written notice of such determination within two
Business Days after such determination was made. If the Master Servicer receives
written notice from the Subsequent Master Servicer that a proposed back-up P&I
advance, if made, or any outstanding back-up P&I advance previously made, would
be, or is, as applicable, a "nonrecoverable advance," the Master Servicer shall
not make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the Loans in the related
Loan Group until the Master Servicer has consulted with the Subsequent Master
Servicer and they agree that circumstances with respect to such Loans have
changed such that a proposed future P&I Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable
Advance.
If the Trustee or the Master Servicer has received notice from
Xxxxx'x or S&P that the Master Servicer no longer has Xxxxx'x Approval or is no
longer on the S&P list of approved master servicers, then the Trustee or Master
Servicer shall promptly notify the others and the applicable Lead Master
Servicer or Subsequent Master Servicer of the same.
If the Master Servicer has received notice that a Lead Master
Servicer or a Subsequent Master Servicer no longer has Xxxxx'x Approval or is no
longer on the S&P list of approved master servicers, then the Master Servicer
shall not be required to abide by any determination of nonrecoverability by such
Lead Master Servicer or Subsequent Master Servicer.
For the purpose of this Section 4.03A(f), "Xxxxx'x Approval" means
that a master servicer (1) is acting as master servicer in a commercial mortgage
loan securitization that was rated by Xxxxx'x within the twelve month period
prior to the date of determination, and Xxxxx'x has not downgraded or withdrawn
the then-current rating on any class of commercial mortgage securities or placed
any class of commercial mortgage securities on watch citing the continuation of
such master servicer as master servicer of such commercial mortgage securities
as the cause for such downgrade, withdrawal or watch, or (2) is approved by
Xxxxx'x.
Section 4.04 Allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund
Expenses.
(a) On each Distribution Date, following the distributions to
Certificateholders to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Trustee
shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then aggregate of the Class
Principal Balances of all the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other
than the Class OEA-B Certificates) exceeds (ii) the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such
Distribution Date. If such excess does exist, then the Class Principal Balances
of the Class P, Class O, Class N, Class M, Class L, Class K, Class J, Class H,
Class G, Class F, Class E, Class D, Class C and Class B Certificates shall be
reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until such excess or the
related Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero (whichever occurs first). If,
after the foregoing reductions, the amount described in clause (i) of the second
preceding sentence still exceeds the amount described in clause (ii) of such
sentence, then the respective Class Principal Balances of all the outstanding
Classes of the Class A Certificates shall be reduced on a pro rata basis in
accordance with the relative sizes of such Class Principal Balances, until any
such remaining excess is reduced to zero. On each Distribution Date, following
the distributions to Class OEA-B Certificateholders to be made on such date
pursuant to Section 4.01, the Trustee shall determine the amount, if any, by
which (i) the then aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of all the Classes
of OEA-B Certificates exceeds (ii) the Stated Principal Balance of the 000
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan that will be outstanding immediately
following such Distribution Date. If such excess does exist, then the Class
Principal Balances of the Class OEA-B2 and Class OEA-B1 Certificates shall be
reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until such excess or the
related Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero (whichever occurs first). All
such reductions in the Class Principal Balances of the respective Classes of the
Principal Balance Certificates shall constitute allocations of Realized Losses
and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.
(b) On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions of
principal or in reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses and
Additional Trust Fund Expenses made in respect of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(i), the Uncertificated Principal Balance (or
aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance with respect to the Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interests corresponding to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class
A-4, Class A-5, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J and
Class L Certificates) of the Corresponding Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests
(after taking account of such deemed distributions) shall be reduced as a result
of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses to equal the Class

Section 4.05 Various Reinstatement Amounts.
(a) On each Distribution Date, following the distributions to
Certificateholders to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01 or 9.01, as
applicable, the Trustee shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding
immediately following such Distribution Date, exceeds (ii) the then aggregate of
the Class Principal Balances of all the Classes of Principal Balance
Certificates (excluding the Class OEA-B Certificates). If such an excess does
exist, then the Trustee shall allocate the Total Principal Reinstatement Amount,
if any, for the subject Distribution Date as follows until it is allocated in
full: first, to all of the Classes of Class A Certificates, up to, and on a pro
rata basis in accordance with, the respective Loss Reimbursement Amounts, if
any, for such Classes of Class A Certificates with respect to the next
succeeding Distribution Date; and then to the remaining Classes of Principal
Balance Certificates (excluding the Class OEA-B Certificates), sequentially in
alphabetical order based on the respective Class designations thereof, in each
case up to any Loss Reimbursement Amount for such Class of Principal Balance
Certificates immediately prior to such Distribution Date. Any portion of the
Total Principal Reinstatement Amount for any Distribution Date that is allocated
to a particular Class of Principal Balance Certificates shall be: (i) referred
to herein as the "Class Principal Reinstatement Amount" in respect of such Class
of Principal Balance Certificates for such Distribution Date; and (ii) added to
the Class Principal Balance of such Class of Principal Balance Certificates on
such Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the parties hereby acknowledge that the reinstatement of all or any
portion of the Class Principal Balance of any Class of Principal Balance
Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be a result of the collection of
Recovered Amounts during the related Collection Period and the upward adjustment
of the Adjusted Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date as a
result of such Recovered Amounts.
(b) In addition, in connection with its reinstatement of all or any
portion of the Class Principal Balance of any one or more Classes of Principal
Balance Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.05(a), the
Trustee shall calculate the amount of lost Distributable Certificate Interest
that would have accrued on the respective Classes of Regular Interest
Certificates through and including the end of the Interest Accrual Period for
such Distribution Date if no Unfunded Principal Balance Reductions had resulted
from the reimbursement out of general collections of principal on the Mortgage
Pool of the particular Advances relating to the Recovered Amounts associated
with such reinstatement of outstanding principal. Once determined, such lost
Distributable Certificate Interest in respect of any particular Class of Regular
Interest Certificates shall be reinstated and become due and payable on future
Distribution Dates as part of the unpaid Distributable Certificate Interest for
such Class of Regular Interest Certificates from prior Distribution Dates. All
such reinstated Distributable Certificate Interest in respect of any particular
Class of Regular Interest Certificates shall be treated the same as any other
unpaid Distributable Certificate Interest in respect of such Class of Regular
Interest Certificates.
(c) If the Class Principal Balance of any Class of Principal Balance
Certificates is increased on any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.05(a),
then the Lower-Tier Interest Principal Balance of such Class' Corresponding
Lower-Tier Regular Interest (or, if applicable, the aggregate Lower-Tier
Interest Principal Balance of such Class' Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular
Interests) shall be deemed to have first been increased by the exact same
amount. In circumstances where there are multiple Corresponding Lower-Tier
Regular Interests with respect to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates, the
increases in the respective Lower-Tier Interest Principal Balances of such
Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests as contemplated by the prior sentence
shall be made in the reverse order that reductions are made to such Lower-Tier
Interest Principal Balances pursuant to Section 4.04(b), in each case up to the
amount of the Loss Reimbursement Amount with respect to the subject Lower-Tier
Regular Interest for the next succeeding Distribution Date. The amount of each
such increase in the Lower-Tier Interest Principal Balance of a Lower-Tier
Regular Interest on any Distribution Date shall be referred to herein as the
"Lower-Tier Interest Principal Reinstatement Amount" in respect of such
Lower-Tier Regular Interest for such Distribution Date.
Section 4.06 Calculations.
The Trustee shall, provided it receives the necessary information
from the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, be responsible for performing
all calculations necessary in connection with the actual and deemed
distributions and allocations to be made pursuant to Section 4.01 and Article IX
and the actual and deemed allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust
Fund Expenses to be made pursuant to Section 4.04. The Trustee shall calculate
the Available Distribution Amount and the Available Class OEA-B Distribution
Amount for each Distribution Date and shall allocate such amounts among
Certificateholders in accordance with this Agreement, and the Trustee shall have
no obligation to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it
by the Special Servicer or Master Servicer. The calculations by the Trustee of
such amounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be presumptively deemed to
be correct for all purposes hereunder.
Section 4.07 Use of Agents.
The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may at its
own expense utilize agents or attorneys-in-fact in performing any of its
obligations under this Article IV (except the obligation to make P&I Advances),
but no such utilization shall relieve the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or the Trustee, as applicable, from any of such obligations, and the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall remain
responsible for all acts and omissions of any such agent or attorney-in-fact.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms
attached hereto as Exhibits X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0 and A-7; provided that
any of the Certificates may be issued with appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced
thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, as may be required to comply with any law or with rules or
regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities market in
which the Certificates are admitted to trading, or to conform to general usage.
The Certificates will be issuable in registered form only; provided, however,
that in accordance with Section 5.03, beneficial ownership interests in the
Certificates (other than the Class R-I or Class R-II Certificates) shall
initially be held and transferred through the book-entry facilities of the
Depository. The Regular Interest Certificates will be issuable only in
denominations corresponding to initial Certificate Principal Balances or initial
Notional Amount, as the case may be, as of the Closing Date of $25,000 in the
case of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6,
Class A-7, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates, $1,000,000 in the
case of the Class XP, Class XC Certificates, and $100,000 in the case of the
remaining Regular Interest Certificates, and in each such case in integral
multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class R-I and Class R-II Certificates
will be issuable in denominations representing Percentage Interests in the
related Class of not less than 5%.
(b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trustee by the Certificate Registrar hereunder by an
authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the authorized officers or signatories of the
Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to all benefits under this Agreement,
subject to the following sentence, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, however, unless there appears on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided
for herein executed by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such
certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication.
Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) At all times during the term of this Agreement, there shall be
maintained at the office of the Certificate Registrar a Certificate Register in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Certificate Registrar may
prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
The Trustee is hereby initially appointed (and hereby agrees to act in
accordance with the terms hereof) as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of
registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided. The offices of the Trustee responsible for its duties as initial
Certificate Register shall be located, as of the Closing Date, at 000 Xxxxx
XxXxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Asset-Backed Securities
Trust Services Group--Greenwich Capital Commercial Funding Corp., Commercial
Mortgage Trust Series 2004-GG1. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a
written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer and (if the Trustee is not the Certificate Registrar) the Trustee, any
other bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under such
conditions as the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided that
the predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties
or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the Trustee
resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor trustee
shall immediately succeed to its duties as Certificate Registrar. The Depositor,
the Trustee (if it is no longer the Certificate Registrar), the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer shall have the right to inspect the Certificate
Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely
conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the
information set forth in the Certificate Register.
If three or more Holders make written request to the Trustee, and
such request states that such Holders desire to communicate with other Holders
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and
is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Holders propose to
transmit, then the Trustee shall, within 30 days after the receipt of such
request, afford (or cause any other Certificate Registrar to afford) the
requesting Holders access during normal business hours to the most recent list
of Certificateholders held by the Certificate Registrar.
(b) No Transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate or interest
therein shall be made unless that Transfer 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 Definitive Non-Registered Certificate is to be
made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection
with a Transfer of a Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry
Non-Registered Certificates to a successor Depository or to the applicable
Certificate Owner(s) in accordance with Section 5.03), then the Certificate
Registrar shall refuse to register such Transfer unless it receives (and, upon
receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 and a certificate from such Certificateholder's
prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto either as
Exhibit F-2A or, with respect to each Definitive Non-Registered Certificate
other than the Class R-I and Class R-II Certificates, as Exhibit F-2B; or (ii)
an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the
prospective Transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor or a Qualified
Institutional Buyer (except in the case of the Class R-I and Class R-II
Certificates, where the prospective Transferee must be a Qualified Institutional
Buyer) and such Transfer may be made without registration under the Securities
Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Tax Administrator,
the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Certificate Registrar in their respective
capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts
surrounding such Transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
Transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective Transferee on which such
Opinion of Counsel is based.
Except as provided in the following two paragraphs, no interest in
the Rule 144A Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered
Certificates shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in
the form of an interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate. A Transferee of an
interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate that takes delivery for a Class of
Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that all the certifications set forth in Exhibit F-2C hereto are, with
respect to the subject Transfer, true and correct.
Any interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for a Class of
Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates may be transferred by the Depositor or
any Affiliate of the Depositor to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for such Class of
Certificates upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of (x) a certificate to
the effect that the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such Transfer is the
Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor and (y) such written orders and
instructions as are required under the applicable procedures of the Depository,
Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Trustee to debit the account of a
Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global
Certificate, and credit the account of a Depository Participant by a
denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Certificate, that is equal
to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Certificates to be
transferred (such date of transfer, the "Transfer Date"). Upon delivery to the
Certificate Registrar of such certification and orders and instructions, the
Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the
Depository, shall reduce the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate in
respect of the applicable Class of Certificates and increase the denomination of
the Regulation S Global Certificate for the applicable Class, by the
denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders
and instructions, provided that no Regulation S Restricted Certificate may be
transferred to a Person acquiring such Certificate in reliance on Regulation S.
Also notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest in a Rule 144A
Global Certificate with respect to any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered
Certificates may be transferred by any Certificate Owner holding such interest
to any Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional
Buyer) that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate of the same
Class as such Rule 144A Global Certificate upon delivery to the Certificate
Registrar and the Trustee of (i) such certifications and/or opinions as are
contemplated by the second paragraph of this Section 5.02(b) and (ii) such
written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures
of the Depository to direct the Trustee to debit the account of a Depository
Participant by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A
Global Certificate. Upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of the
certifications and/or opinions contemplated by the second paragraph of this
Section 5.02(b), the Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the applicable
procedures of the Depository, shall reduce the denomination of the subject Rule
144A Global Certificate by the denomination of the transferred interests in such
Rule 144A Global Certificate, and shall cause a Definitive Certificate of the
same Class as such Rule 144A Global Certificate, and in a denomination equal to
the reduction in the denomination of such Rule 144A Global Certificate, to be
executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with this Agreement to the
applicable Transferee.
Except as provided in the next paragraph, no beneficial interest in
the Regulation S Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered
Certificates shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in
the form of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate. On
and prior to the date (the "Release Date") which is 40 days after the Transfer
Date, the Certificate Owner desiring to effect any such Transfer shall be
required to obtain from such Certificate Owner's prospective Transferee a
written certification substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit F-2D hereto
certifying that such Transferee is not a United States Securities Person. On or
prior to the Release Date, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global
Certificate for each Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates may be held
only through Euroclear or Clearstream. The Regulation S Global Certificate for
each Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates shall be deposited with the
Trustee as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co.
as nominee of the Depository, provided that no Regulation S Restricted
Certificate may be transferred to a Person acquiring such Certificate in
reliance on Regulation S.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, after the Release Date, any
interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for a Class of Book-Entry
Non-Registered Certificates may be transferred by the Depositor or any Affiliate
of the Depositor to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial
interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class of Certificates upon
delivery to the Certificate Registrar of (x) a certificate to the effect that
the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such Transfer is the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor and (y) such written orders and instructions as are
required under the applicable procedures of the Depository, Clearstream and
Euroclear to direct the Trustee to debit the account of a Depository Participant
by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Certificate, and
credit the account of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in
such Rule 144A Global Certificate, that is equal to the denomination of
beneficial interests in the Certificates to be transferred. Upon delivery to the
Certificate Registrar of such certification and orders and instructions, the
Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the
Depository, shall reduce the denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate
in respect of the applicable Class being transferred and increase the
denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class, by the
denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders
and instructions.
None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar is
obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under
the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not
otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the Transfer of any
Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein without registration or
qualification. Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a
Transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Trustee, the
Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Tax Administrator
and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if such
Transfer is not exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements
of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
(c) No Transfer of a Certificate or any interest therein shall be
made (i) 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 insurance company general accounts, that is
subject to Title I of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any materially similar
provision ("Similar Law") of applicable federal, state or local law (each, a
"Plan"), or (ii) to any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such
Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee
of, or with assets of a Plan, if the purchase and holding of such Certificate or
interest therein by the prospective Transferee would result in a violation of
Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or would result in the
imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code or any similar
violation of Similar Law. Except in connection with Transfer thereof to a
successor Depository or to the applicable Certificate Owner(s) in accordance
with Section 5.03, the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register the
Transfer of a Definitive Non-Registered Certificate unless it has received from
the prospective Transferee, either (i) a certification to the effect that such
prospective Transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or indirectly
purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary
of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) alternatively, but only in
the case of a Certificate other than a Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate, a
certification to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificate or
interest therein by such prospective Transferee is exempt from the prohibited
transaction provisions of Sections 406(a) and (b) and 407 of ERISA and the
excise taxes imposed on such prohibited transactions by Sections 4975(a) and (b)
of the Code, by reason of Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 95-60; or (iii) alternatively, but only in the case of a Certificate
other than a Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate, a certification of facts and
an Opinion of Counsel which otherwise establish to the reasonable satisfaction
of the Trustee or such Certificate Owner, as the case may be, that such Transfer
will not result in a violation of Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the
Code. It is hereby acknowledged that the form of certification attached hereto
as Exhibit G (with respect to Definitive Non-Registered Certificates) is
acceptable for purposes of the preceding sentence. If any Transferee of a
Certificate (including a Registered Certificate) or any interest therein does
not, in connection with the subject Transfer, deliver to the Certificate
Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Certificate) any certification and/or
Opinion of Counsel contemplated by the second preceding sentence, then such
Transferee (and in any event any owner of a Book-Entry Certificate that is not
an Investment Grade Certificate) shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that either: (i) such Transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or
indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as
named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) the
purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such Transferee
is exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406(a) and (b)
and 407 of ERISA and the excise taxes imposed on such prohibited transactions by
Sections 4975(a) and (b) of the Code (or similar violation of Similar Law). Any
Transferee of a Book-Entry Certificate that is an Investment Grade Certificate
that is being acquired by or on behalf of a Plan in reliance on the Prohibited
Transaction Exemption shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that
such Plan (X) is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of
Regulation D of the Securities Act, and (Y) is not sponsored (within the meaning
of Section 3(16)(B) of ERISA) by the Trustee, the Depositor, any Mortgage Loan
Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, any
Exemption-Favored Party or any Mortgagor with respect to Mortgage Loans
constituting more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized principal balance of all
the Mortgage Loans determined as of the Closing Date, or by any Affiliate of
such Person.
(d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Interest Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the
following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee under clause
(ii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to have
irrevocably authorized the Trustee under clause (ii)(B) below to negotiate the
terms of any mandatory disposition and to execute all instruments of Transfer
and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such disposition.
The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Interest Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Interest Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and
shall promptly notify the Tax Administrator and the Trustee of any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Interest Certificate, except in the case of
an initial transfer to an Underwriter or the Initial Purchaser or an
affiliate thereof, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery
to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Interest
Certificate until its receipt, of an affidavit and agreement
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-1 (a
"Transfer Affidavit and Agreement"), from the proposed Transferee,
representing and warranting, among other things, that such
Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Residual Interest 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 Interest Certificate
it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has
reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be
bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a
Responsible Officer of either the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a
Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Interest Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Interest 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 Interest Certificate and (2) not to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in such Residual Interest Certificate unless it provides to
the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H-2 stating that, among other things, it
has no actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in
a Residual Interest Certificate, by purchasing such Ownership
Interest, agrees to give the Tax Administrator and the Trustee
written notice that it is a "pass-through interest holder" within
the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulations Section
1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Interest Certificate, if it is, or is holding an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Interest Certificate on behalf of,
a "pass-through interest holder."
(ii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Interest Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding Holder of such Residual Interest
Certificate that was in compliance with the provisions of this Section
5.02(d) shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights
as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer
of such Residual Interest Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Trustee
or the Certificate Registrar shall be under any liability to any Person
for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Interest Certificate that
is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any
other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
Interest Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d),
then, to the extent that retroactive restoration of the rights of the preceding
Holder of such Residual Interest Certificate as described in clause (ii)(A)
above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Trustee shall have the
right but not the obligation, to cause the Transfer of such Residual Interest
Certificate to a Permitted Transferee selected by the Trustee on such terms as
the Trustee may choose, and the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person having
an Ownership Interest in such Residual Interest Certificate as a result of the
Trustee's exercise of such discretion. Such purported Transferee shall promptly
endorse and deliver such Residual Interest Certificate in accordance with the
instructions of the Trustee. Such Permitted Transferee may be the Trustee itself
or any Affiliate of the Trustee.
(iii) The Tax Administrator shall make available to the IRS and to
those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information furnished
to it by the other parties hereto necessary to compute any tax imposed (A)
as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Interest Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization,
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 Interest 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 Interest
Certificate having as among its record Holders at any time any Person
which is a Disqualified Organization, and each of the other parties hereto
shall furnish to the Tax Administrator all information in its possession
necessary for the Tax Administrator to discharge such obligation. The
Person holding such Ownership Interest shall be responsible for the
reasonable compensation of the Tax Administrator for providing information
thereto pursuant to this subsection (d)(iii) and Section 10.01(h)(i).
(iv) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this
clause (iv) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there
shall have been delivered to the Trustee and the Tax Administrator the
following:
(A) written confirmation from each Rating Agency to the effect
that the modification of, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause an Adverse Rating Event; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Tax Administrator, obtained at the expense of
the party seeking such modification of, addition to or elimination
of such provisions (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee,
the Tax Administrator or the Trust), to the effect that doing so
will not (1) cause either REMIC Pool or any Loan REMIC to cease to
qualify as a REMIC or be subject to an entity-level tax caused by
the Transfer of any Residual Interest Certificate to a Person which
is not a Permitted Transferee or (2) cause a Person other than the
prospective Transferee to be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused
by the Transfer of a Residual Interest Certificate to a Person that
is not a Permitted Transferee.
(e) If a Person is acquiring any Non-Registered Certificate or
interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person
shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar (or, in the case of an
interest in a Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificate, to the Certificate Owner
that is transferring such interest) a certification to the effect that, and such
other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Trustee (or such Certificate
Owner) to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to
each such account and (ii) full power to make the applicable foregoing
acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with
respect to each such account as set forth in Subsections (b), (c) and/or (d), as
appropriate, of this Section 5.02.
(f) Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 5.02, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the offices of the
Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Certificate Registrar
shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Certificates of the same Class evidencing a like aggregate Percentage Interest
in such Class.
(g) At the option of any Holder, its Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same Class evidencing
a like aggregate Percentage Interest in such Class upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the offices of the Certificate Registrar
maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and the Authenticating Agent
shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(h) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed
by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(i) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee or Certificate Registrar may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(j) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
physically canceled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar
shall dispose of such canceled Certificates in accordance with its standard
procedures.
Section 5.03 Book-Entry Certificates.
(a) The Certificates (other than the Class R-I and Class R-II)
shall, in the case of each such Class, initially be issued as one or more
Certificates registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except
as provided in Section 5.03(c) and in the fifth paragraph of Section 5.02(b), a
Transfer of such Certificates may not be registered by the Certificate Registrar
unless such Transfer is to a successor Depository that agrees to hold such
Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests
therein. Such Certificate Owners shall hold and Transfer their respective
Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry
facilities of the Depository and, except as provided in Section 5.03(c) and in
the fifth paragraph of Section 5.02(b), shall not be entitled to definitive,
fully registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such
Ownership Interests. The Certificates (other than the Class R-I and Class R-II)
initially sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A or in
reliance on another exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act shall, in the case of each such Class, be represented by the Rule
144A Global Certificate for such Class, which shall be deposited with the
Trustee as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co.
as nominee of the Depository. The Certificates (other than the Class R-I and
Class R-II) initially sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S
shall, in the case of each such Class, be represented by the Regulation S Global
Certificate for such Class, which shall be deposited with the Trustee as
custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee
of the Depository, provided that only Investment Grade Certificates shall be
sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S. All Transfers by
Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the
Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing each such Certificate
Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests
in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of
brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's
normal procedures.
(b) The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Depositor and the Certificate Registrar may for all purposes, including the
making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates, deal with the Depository
as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to such
Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between
such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms
representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and
votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect
to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable
record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
(c) If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to a Class of the
Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor, or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository with respect to a Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify all affected Certificate
Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to such Certificate Owners requesting
the same.
Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry
Certificates of any Class thereof by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Certificate
Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, the Definitive Certificates in respect of such Class to the Certificate
Owners identified in such instructions. None of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall
be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions, and each of them may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates for purposes of evidencing
ownership of any Class of Registered Certificates, the registered Holders of
such Definitive Certificates shall be recognized as Certificateholders hereunder
and, accordingly, shall be entitled directly to receive payments on, to exercise
Voting Rights with respect to, and to transfer and exchange such Definitive
Certificates.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, neither
the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any responsibility
whatsoever to monitor or restrict the Transfer of ownership interests in any
Certificate which interests are transferable through the book-entry facilities
of the Depository.
Section 5.04 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered
to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may
be reasonably required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of actual notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the 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 the same Class and like Percentage
Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this section, the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as
if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
Section 5.05 Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose
name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other
purposes whatsoever and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR, THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SPECIAL SERVICER AND THE
DIRECTING HOLDER
Section 6.01 Liability of Depositor, Master Servicer and Special
Servicer.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective obligations
specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer herein.
Section 6.02 Continued Qualification and Compliance of Master
Servicer; Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of Depositor, Master Servicer or
Special Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a legal entity under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its organization, and each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign entity in, and will otherwise remain in compliance with
the laws of, each jurisdiction in which such qualification and compliance is or
shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement,
the Certificates or any of the Loans and to perform its respective duties under
this Agreement.
Each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or
substantially all of its assets (which, in the case of the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, may be limited to all or substantially all of its assets
related to commercial mortgage loan servicing) to any Person, in which case any
Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business (which, in the case of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, may be limited to the commercial mortgage loan servicing
business) of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, shall
be the successor of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that no successor or surviving
Person shall succeed to the rights of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer unless (i) as confirmed in writing by each of the Rating Agencies, such
succession will not result in an Adverse Rating Event, and (ii) such successor
or surviving Person makes the applicable representations and warranties set
forth in Section 3.24 (in the case of a successor or surviving Person to the
Master Servicer) or Section 3.25 (in the case of a successor or surviving Person
to the Special Servicer), as applicable.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of Depositor, Master Servicer
and Special Servicer.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the
Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Noteholders for any action taken, or
not taken, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer against any liability to the Trust Fund,
the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Noteholders for the
breach of a representation or warranty made herein by such party, or against any
expense or liability specifically required to be borne by such party without
right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof, or against any liability
which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder or
negligent disregard of such obligations or duties. The Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and any director, manager, member, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any
director, manager, member, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless
by the Trust Fund out of the Pool Custodial Account against any loss, liability
or reasonable expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in
connection with any legal action or claim relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates (including in connection with the dissemination of information and
reports as contemplated by this Agreement), other than any such loss, liability
or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne by the party seeking
indemnification, without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof;
(ii) which constitutes a Servicing Advance that is otherwise reimbursable
hereunder; (iii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against
the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any breach on the part of that
party of a representation or warranty made herein; or (iv) incurred in
connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking
indemnification, resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
on the part of that party in the performance of its obligations or duties
hereunder or negligent disregard of such obligations or duties; provided that if
a Serviced Loan Group is involved, such indemnity shall be payable out of the
related Loan Group Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05A and, to the
extent not solely attributable to the Companion Loan in such Serviced Loan
Group, shall also be payable out of the Pool Custodial Account if amounts on
deposit in the related Loan Group Custodial Account are insufficient therefor.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
administrative or legal action, proceeding, hearing or examination unless such
action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and either (i)
it is specifically required hereunder to bear the costs of such action or (ii)
such action will not, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, involve it in
any ultimate expense or liability for which it would not be reimbursed
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it
may deem necessary or desirable with respect to the enforcement and/or
protection of the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of
the Certificateholders (or, if a Loan Group is affected, the rights of the
Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Noteholders (as a collective
whole)). In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, and any
liability resulting therefrom, shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Pool Custodial Account as
provided in Section 3.05; provided, however, that if a Loan Group and/or the
related Companion Loan Noteholders are involved, such expenses, costs and
liabilities shall be payable out of the related Loan Group Custodial Account
pursuant to Section 3.05A and, to the extent attributable to the Mortgage Loan
in such Loan Group, shall also be payable out of the Pool Custodial Account if
amounts on deposit in the related Loan Group Custodial Account are insufficient
therefor. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be
liable or responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the other
of them (unless they are the same Person or Affiliates) or for any action taken
or omitted to be taken by the Depositor, the Trustee, any Certificateholder or
the Companion Loan Noteholders, subject to the provisions of Section 8.05(c).
Each Lead Master Servicer, Lead Special Servicer and any director,
manager, member, officer, employee or agent of a Lead Master Servicer or Lead
Special Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund
against the Trust Fund's pro rata share of any loss, liability or reasonable
expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection
with any legal action or claim that (1) relates to the applicable Lead PSA
and/or this Agreement and (2) relates solely to the servicing of the applicable
Non-Serviced Loan Group, other than any losses incurred by reason of such Lead
Master Servicer's or Lead Special Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of its duties under the applicable Lead PSA.
In the event that the terms of a Subsequent PSA (provided the Master
Servicer has been provided with a copy of such Subsequent PSA) or Lead PSA
provide for the indemnification of the Master Servicer and/or the Special
Servicer, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall diligently pursue their
rights under such Subsequent PSA or Lead PSA for the related trust's
proportionate share of any indemnification sought by the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer in connection with a Loan Group.
Section 6.04 Resignation of Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer and, subject to Section 6.09, the Special
Servicer may each resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it,
upon a determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any
other activities carried on by it (the other activities of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, so causing such a conflict being of
a type and nature carried on by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, at the date of this Agreement). Any such determination
requiring the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect which
shall be delivered to the Trustee. Unless applicable law requires the Master
Servicer's or Special Servicer's resignation to be effective immediately, and
the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to the prior sentence so states, no
such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or other successor
shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning party
in accordance with Section 6.09 or Section 7.02 hereof. The Master Servicer and,
subject to the rights of the Controlling Class under Section 6.09 to appoint a
successor special servicer, the Special Servicer shall each have the right to
resign at any other time, provided that (i) a willing successor thereto
reasonably acceptable to the Depositor has been found (provided that if the
Depositor has not responded to a request for consent to a successor within 15
days, such successor shall be deemed approved thereby), (ii) each of the Rating
Agencies confirms in writing that the successor's appointment will not result in
an Adverse Rating Event, (iii) the resigning party pays all costs and expenses
in connection with such resignation and the resulting transfer of servicing, and
(iv) the successor accepts appointment prior to the effectiveness of such
resignation and agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be
permitted to resign except as contemplated above in this Section 6.04(a).
(b) Consistent with Section 6.04(a), neither the Master Servicer nor
the Special Servicer shall, except as expressly provided herein, assign or
transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person
or, except as provided in Sections 3.22, 4.07, 7.01(c) and 7.01(d), delegate to
or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of
the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by it hereunder. If,
pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer are transferred to a successor thereto, the Master Servicing
Fee, the Special Servicing Fee, any Workout Fee and/or any Liquidation Fee
(except as expressly contemplated by Section 3.11(b)), as applicable, that
accrues or otherwise becomes payable pursuant hereto from and after the date of
such transfer shall be payable to such successor.
Section 6.05 Rights of Depositor, Trustee and the Companion Loan
Noteholders in Respect of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each afford the
Depositor, each Underwriter, the Trustee and the Companion Loan Noteholders
(including any servicer on their behalf), upon reasonable notice, during normal
business hours access to all records maintained thereby in respect of its rights
and obligations hereunder. Upon reasonable request, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall each furnish the Depositor, each Underwriter, the Trustee
and the Companion Loan Noteholders with its most recent publicly available
financial statements and such other non-proprietary information as the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall determine in its
sole and absolute discretion as it possesses, which is relevant to the
performance of its duties hereunder and which it is not prohibited by applicable
law or contract from disclosing. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to,
enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to
perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer
hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special
Servicer shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such
performance by the Depositor or its designee and, provided, further, that the
Depositor may not exercise any right pursuant to Section 7.01 to terminate the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as a party to this Agreement. The
Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and is not
obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 6.06 Depositor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer to
Cooperate with Trustee.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
each furnish such reports, certifications and information as are reasonably
requested by the Trustee in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.
Section 6.07 Depositor, Special Servicer and Trustee to Cooperate
with Master Servicer.
The Depositor, the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall each
furnish such reports, certifications and information as are reasonably requested
by the Master Servicer in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.
Section 6.08 Depositor, Master Servicer and Trustee to Cooperate
with Special Servicer.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each
furnish such reports, certifications and information as are reasonably requested
by the Special Servicer in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.
Section 6.09 Termination and Designation of Special Servicer by the
Directing Holder.
The Directing Holder may at any time and from time to time, without
cause, terminate the existing Special Servicer and designate a replacement
Special Servicer hereunder; provided that, in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Loan Group regardless of whether a Control Appraisal Event has occurred, only
the Controlling Class Directing Holder may terminate and replace the Special
Servicer without cause; provided further that, in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx Loan Group, if a Control Appraisal Event has not occurred, (i) any
replacement Special Servicer for the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group designated by
the Controlling Class Directing Holder must be approved in writing by the Loan
Group Directing Holder of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group and (ii) upon an
Event of Default of the Special Servicer for the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group,
if such Special Servicer is not otherwise terminated or replaced by the
Controlling Class Directing Holder, either the Subordinate Companion Noteholder
or the Class OEA-B Majority Holder may terminate and replace such existing
Special Servicer with a Special Servicer that has been approved in writing by
both the Subordinate Companion Noteholder and the Class OEA-B Majority Holder.
In addition, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Directing Holder may
appoint a replacement Special Servicer for any existing Special Servicer that
has resigned or otherwise ceased to serve (including in connection with
termination pursuant to Section 7.01) as Special Servicer (except that any
appointment of a replacement Special Servicer for the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan
Group must be in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph). With
respect to each Loan Group, the rights of the Directing Holder or Controlling
Class Directing Holder to terminate and/or appoint a replacement Special
Servicer shall be limited to that Loan Group.
The Directing Holder or Controlling Class Directing Holder, as
applicable, shall so designate a Person to serve as replacement Special Servicer
by the delivery to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, and, if applicable, the
Companion Loan Noteholders (and in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group,
the Holders of the Class OEA-B Certificates), and the existing Special Servicer
of a written notice stating such designation. The Trustee shall, promptly after
receiving any such notice, deliver to the Rating Agencies an executed Notice and
Acknowledgment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I-1. If the Directing
Holder has not replaced the Special Servicer within 30 days of such Special
Servicer's resignation or the date such Special Servicer has ceased to serve in
such capacity, the Trustee shall designate a successor Special Servicer, subject
to removal by the Directing Holder and appointment of a successor thereto
pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.09. Any designated Person (whether
designated by the Directing Holder or the Trustee) shall become the Special
Servicer on the date as of which the Trustee shall have received all of the
following: (1) written confirmation from all of the Rating Agencies that the
appointment of such Person will not result in an Adverse Rating Event; (2) an
Acknowledgment of Proposed Special Servicer in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit I-2, executed by the designated Person, (3) confirmation that all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the removal and
replacement of a Special Servicer have been paid either by the removing party or
the replacement Special Servicer and (4) an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense
of the Person designated to become the Special Servicer) to the effect that,
upon the execution and delivery of the Acknowledgment of Proposed Special
Servicer, the designated Person shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement
and, subject to customary limitations, that this Agreement shall be enforceable
against the designated Person in accordance with its terms. Any existing Special
Servicer shall be deemed to have resigned simultaneously with such designated
Person's becoming the Special Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that (i)
the resigning Special Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all
amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the effective
date of such resignation, whether in respect of Servicing Advances or otherwise,
(ii) if the resigning Special Servicer was terminated without cause or resigns
in accordance with the first sentence of the first paragraph of Section 6.04, it
shall be entitled to certain Workout Fees thereafter payable with respect to the
Corrected Loans and Liquidation Fees (but only if and to the extent permitted by
Section 3.11(b)) and (iii) the resigning Special Servicer shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such resignation.
Such resigning Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and the
replacement Special Servicer in effecting the termination of the resigning
Special Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including the transfer
within two Business Days to the replacement Special Servicer for administration
by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be or should have been credited
by the Special Servicer to a Custodial Account, a Servicing Account, a Reserve
Account or an REO Account or should have been delivered to the Master Servicer
or that are thereafter received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO
Properties. The Trustee shall notify the other parties hereto, the
Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Noteholders of any termination of the
Special Servicer and appointment of a new Special Servicer in accordance with
this Section 6.09.
Any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
removal of a Special Servicer and its replacement by a Person designated by the
Directing Holder that are not paid by the replacement Special Servicer shall be
paid by the Directing Holder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Directing Holder with respect to any Loan Group shall be permitted to
replace the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement only with respect
to such related Loan Group.
Section 6.10 Master Servicer or Special Servicer as Owner of a
Certificate.
The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate of either
of them may become the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate,
Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate with (except as otherwise set
forth in the definition of "Certificateholder") the same rights it would have if
it were not the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof.
If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an
Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder of (or,
in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any
Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take action
(including for this purpose, omitting to take action) that is not expressly
prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer's or the
Special Servicer's reasonable, good faith judgment, violate the Servicing
Standard, but that, if taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer's or the
Special Servicer's good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to
violate the Servicing Standard, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
may (but need not) seek the approval of the Certificateholders to such action by
delivering to the Trustee a written notice that (a) states that it is delivered
pursuant to this Section 6.10, (b) identifies the Percentage Interest in each
Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or an Affiliate
thereof or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, as appropriate, and (c)
describes in reasonable detail the action that the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer proposes to take. The Trustee, upon receipt of such notice,
shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and
its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate),
together with such instructions for response as the Trustee shall reasonably
determine. If at any time Certificateholders holding greater than 50% of the
Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the
Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the
Special Servicer or its Affiliates, as appropriate) shall have failed to object
in writing (with a copy to the Companion Loan Noteholders, if the Loan Groups
are involved) to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice
within 30 days, such action shall be deemed to comply with, but not modify, the
Servicing Standard. The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for the reasonable
expenses of the Trustee incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the
intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to
routine servicing matters arising hereunder, but rather only in the case of
unusual circumstances.
Section 6.11 Certain Powers of the Directing Holder.
(a) The Directing Holder will be entitled to advise the Special
Servicer with respect to the following actions of the Special Servicer in
connection with any Serviced Loan, subject to the consultation rights of certain
holders of certain Companion Loans, as further set forth in Section 6.11(e)
below. The Special Servicer will not be permitted to take any of the following
actions unless and until it has notified the applicable Directing Holder in
writing in capitalized, bold faced 14 point type containing the following
statement at the top of the first page: "THIS IS A REQUEST FOR DIRECTING HOLDER
ACTION APPROVAL. IF THE DIRECTING HOLDER FAILS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE
ENCLOSED APPROVAL ACTION WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS, THE SPECIAL SERVICER,
MAY DELIVER A DEEMED APPROVAL NOTICE," and (b) if the Directing Holder fails to
either approve or reject said approval action within such five Business Day
period after receipt of the first notice, and having been provided with all
reasonably requested information with respect thereto, and the Special Servicer
delivers the approval action request to the Directing Holder accompanied by a
second notice in capitalized, bold faced 14 point type containing the following
statement at the top of the first page: "THIS IS A SECOND REQUEST FOR APPROVAL
ACTION. IF THE DIRECTING HOLDER FAILS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE ENCLOSED
APPROVAL ACTION WITHIN FIVE BUSINESS DAYS, SUCH APPROVAL ACTION WILL BE DEEMED
APPROVED BY THE DIRECTING HOLDER," then, if the Directing Holder fails to
approve or reject such approval action within such second five Business Day
period (approval or rejection by notice by facsimile on the same day being
acceptable), then the Directing Holder's approval will be deemed to have been
given:
(i) any proposed or actual foreclosure upon or comparable conversion
(which may include acquisition as an REO Property) of the ownership of
properties securing such of the Specially Serviced Loans as come into and
continue in default;
(ii) any modification, extension, amendment or waiver of a monetary
term (including the timing of payments) or any material non-monetary term
of a Loan (including any material term relating to insurance or any
prohibition on additional debt);
(iii) any proposed or actual sale of an REO Property (other than in
connection with the termination of the Trust Fund) for less than the
Purchase Price;
(iv) any acceptance of a discounted payoff of a Loan;
(v) any determination to bring a Mortgaged Property or an REO
Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws or to
otherwise address Hazardous Materials located at a Mortgaged Property or
an REO Property;
(vi) any release of collateral for a Loan or any release of a
Mortgagor (other than in accordance with the terms of such Loan (with no
material discretion by the mortgagee), or upon satisfaction of, such
Loan);
(vii) any acceptance of substitute or additional collateral for a
Loan (other than in accordance with the terms of such Loan (with no
material discretion by the mortgagee));
(viii) any waiver of a "due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clause
with respect to any Loan or consent to a transfer of the Mortgage Property
or interest in the Mortgagor (to the extent the mortgagee has the right to
consent to such transfer);
(ix) any acceptance of an assumption agreement releasing a Mortgagor
or a guarantor from liability under a Loan;
(x) any acceptance of a change in the property management company
(provided that the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan
is greater than $5,000,000) or, if applicable, the hotel franchise for any
Mortgaged Property;
(xi) any extension of the maturity date of a Mortgage Loan, which
results in the remaining term of any related ground lease (together with
extensions at the sole option of the lender) being less than 10 years
beyond the amortization term of such Mortgage Loan;
(xii) any determination by the Special Servicer pursuant to clause
(b), (c) or (d) of the definition of "Specially Serviced Loan" that a Loan
has become a Specially Serviced Loan;
(xiii) any extension by the Special Servicer of the maturity date of
a Performing Serviced Loan pursuant to Section 3.21(d); and
(xiv) in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, (1) adoption
or approval of a plan of bankruptcy or reorganization for the borrower and
(2) approval of a material capital expenditure;
provided that, in the event that the Special Servicer determines that immediate
action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (as a
collective whole) (or, in the case of a Serviced Loan Group, to protect the
interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Noteholder
(as a collective whole)), the Special Servicer may take any such action without
waiting for the applicable Directing Holder's response. As used in clauses (vi)
and (vii) above, the term "material discretion" shall mean that the relevant
decision regarding the release of collateral or the acceptance of substitute or
additional collateral, as applicable, is in the discretion of the mortgagee, and
such decision need not be based upon the satisfaction of specified objective
conditions, the satisfactory delivery of certain factual evidence or opinions or
the satisfaction of any other specified objective criteria that is set forth in
the related Mortgage Loan documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Loan Group, for so long as a Control Appraisal Event shall not have occurred,
the Directing Holder shall have the right to consult the Operating Advisor as
provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement, and the period of time in which the
Directing Holder shall be required to approve or reject an approval action may
be extended as provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement. In addition, at any
time that a Control Appraisal Event shall not have occurred with respect to the
000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group and there is no Operating Advisor, an objection to
any of the actions listed above by either the Class OEA-B Majority Holder or the
holder of a majority in balance of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Subordinate Companion
Loan made to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer within the time period set
forth in this Section 6.11 shall be deemed to be an objection by the Directing
Holder of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group. Each Holder of Class OEA-B
Certificates, by its acceptance of its Certificates, hereby agrees to be liable
for its pro rata share of the holder of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust
Loan's pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the Operating Advisor under
the Co-Lender Agreement and shall promptly pay such pro rata share of fees and
expenses upon request by the Trustee or the Operating Advisor.
In addition, the Directing Holder may direct the Special Servicer to
take, or to refrain from taking, any actions with respect to the servicing
and/or administration of a Specially Serviced Loan as the Directing Holder may
deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein subject to
Section 6.11(b). Upon reasonable request, the Special Servicer shall provide the
Directing Holder with any information in the Special Servicer's possession with
respect to such matters, including its reasons for determining to take a
proposed action; provided that such information shall also be provided, in a
written format, to the Trustee, who shall make it available for review pursuant
to Section 8.14(b) and, insofar as a Loan Group is involved, for review by the
related Companion Loan Noteholders and, in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Non-Pooled Trust Loan, the Holders of the Class OEA-B Certificates.
The Special Servicer shall notify the applicable Directing Holder of
any release or substitution of collateral for a Loan even if such release or
substitution is in accordance with such Loan.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Companion Loan
Noteholder is a Directing Holder it shall be permitted to exercise the powers of
a Directing Holder under this Agreement only with respect to its related Loan
Group.
With respect to a Tier 3 Loan Group, the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, will be required to obtain the consent of the related
Companion Loan Noteholder in connection with any modification or amendment to
the related Loan documents to the extent set forth in the related Co-Lender
Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice,
direction or objection from or by the Directing Holder, as contemplated by
Section 6.11(a), or any party having consultation rights under Section 6.11(e),
may (and the Special Servicer shall ignore and act without regard to any such
advice, direction or objection that the Special Servicer has determined, in its
reasonable, good faith judgment, would) require or cause the Special Servicer or
Master Servicer to violate any provision of this Agreement (exclusive of Section
6.11(a)) (including the Special Servicer's obligation to act in accordance with
the Servicing Standard), the related Loan documents or the REMIC Provisions.
(c) The Directing Holder will have no liability to the
Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Noteholders for any action taken, or
for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. Each
Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its
Certificates, that: (i) the Directing Holder may, and is permitted hereunder to,
have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of
one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Directing Holder may, and is
permitted hereunder to, act solely in the interests of the Holders of the
Controlling Class; (iii) the Directing Holder or its representative do not have
any duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the
Controlling Class; (iv) the Directing Holder may, and is permitted hereunder to,
take actions that favor interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over
the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; (v)
the Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever for having acted solely
in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class or the related
Companion Loan Noteholder or the Holders of the Class OEA-B Certificates, as the
case may be; and (vi) the Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever
for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever
against the Directing Holder, any Holder of the Controlling Class or any
director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.
In addition, with respect to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the
liability of the Directing Holder and Operating Advisor shall be limited as
provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement.
(d) The applicable Companion Loan Noteholders (and in the case of
the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Non-Pooled Trust Loan, the Holders of the Class OEA-B
Certificates) shall be entitled to receive, upon request made to any party
hereto, a copy of any notice or report required to be delivered (upon request or
otherwise) by such party to the related Loan Group Directing Holder or the
Trustee with respect to the related Loan Group. Any such party shall be
permitted to require payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs
and expenses of providing such copies.
(e) In addition to the provisions of Section 6.11(a), with respect
to each of the Serviced Loan Groups the Special Servicer may not take any of the
actions set forth in Section 6.11(a)(i)-(xiv), without:
(i) in the case of the Tier 2 Loan Group, so long as no Consultation
Appraisal Event has occurred, consulting, on a non-binding basis, with
each Companion Loan Noteholder; and
(ii) in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, consulting, on
a non-binding basis, with the holder of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Pari Passu
Companion Loans (or if such Companion Loans are included in a
securitization, the party designated as having such rights in such
securitization) and the Controlling Class Directing Holder (if it is not
the Loan Group Directing Holder with respect to the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan
Group).
In connection with the consultation rights set forth in Section
6.11(e) above:
(1) the Special Servicer shall deliver to the holder of such
consultation rights the same notice and information to be
provided to the Directing Holder in accordance with Section
6.11(a);
(2) the party entitled to such consultation rights shall have an
opportunity to consult with the Special Servicer for a period
of 10 Business Days from the initial notice of the related
action; and
(3) if the Special Servicer determines that it needs to take
immediate action and cannot wait until the review period set
forth above expires, then, in such case, the Special Servicer
shall decide, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, what
course of action to take.
(f) The Xxxxx Fargo Tower Loan Group is serviced under the GCCFC C2
PSA. The GCCFC C2 PSA provides that the "Directing Holder" under the GCCFC C2
PSA with respect to the Xxxxx Fargo Tower Loan Group will be the Trustee, as the
holder of the Xxxxx Fargo Tower Trust Loan for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. In the event that the GCCFC C2 Master Servicer or the GCCFC
C2 Special Servicer seeks the consent of the Trustee for any action with respect
to the Xxxxx Fargo Tower Loan Group, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall promptly deliver any notice or request for consent that
it receives in connection with the Xxxxx Fargo Tower Loan Group to the
Controlling Class Directing Holder and shall direct the GCCFC C2 Master Servicer
or the GCCFC C2 Special Servicer, as applicable, to consult or obtain the
consent of the Controlling Class Directing Holder, as its agent, and the
Controlling Class Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise all of the
rights granted to the "Directing Holder" under the GCCFC C2 PSA and the related
Co-lender Agreement with respect to the Xxxxx Fargo Tower Loan Group.
The Co-Lender Agreements and Lead PSAs for the Xxxxx Fargo Tower Trust Loan, the
5 Houston Center Trust Loan and the DDR Portfolio Trust Loan provide certain
consent rights that are exercisable by the majority holder of the controlling
class of a securitization. Such rights shall be exercisable by the Directing
Holder hereunder, and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, as
applicable, shall forward any notice or request it receives in connection
therewith to the Directing Holder and, in connection therewith, shall direct the
Lead Master Servicer or Lead Special Servicer, as applicable, to recognize the
Directing Holder as such.

and provided the Trustee and the Companion Loan Noteholders with an
Officer's Certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is
diligently continuing to pursue, a full cure; 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

the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and such decree or order shall
have remained in force undischarged, undismissed or unstayed for a period
of 60 days; or
(viii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall consent to

downgraded or withdrawn, or otherwise made the subject of a "negative"
credit watch, which Fitch Ratings or Xxxxx'x, as applicable, has
determined and given notice in writing (including through a publication or

solely or in material part a result of the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as the case may be, acting in such capacity;
(xi) the Master Servicer fails to be rated at least "CMS3" by Fitch
Ratings or the Special Servicer fails to be rated at least "CSS3" by Fitch

may be, and the ratings of any of the Certificates or any Companion Loan
Securities by S&P are qualified, downgraded or withdrawn in connection
with the removal.
When a single entity acts as the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer, an Event of Default in one capacity shall constitute an Event of
Default in the other capacity.
(b) If any Event of Default described in clauses (i) - (ix) and
(xii) of subsection (a) above shall occur with respect to the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the
"Defaulting Party") and shall be continuing, then, and in each and every such
case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee
may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the
Defaulting Party (with a copy of such notice to each other party hereto and the
Rating Agencies) terminate, subject to Section 7.01(d), all of the rights and
obligations (but not the liabilities for actions and omissions occurring prior
thereto) of the Defaulting Party under this Agreement and in and to the Trust
Fund and the Companion Loans, other than its rights, if any, as a
Certificateholder hereunder or as the holder of the Companion Loans or any
interest therein.
If any Event of Default described in clause (x) or (xi) of
subsection (a) above shall occur with respect to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer (in either case, under such circumstances, for purposes of this
Section 7.01(b), the "Defaulting Party"), the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing (to be sent immediately by facsimile transmission) to the Defaulting
Party (with a copy of such notice to each other party hereto and the Rating
Agencies), terminate, subject to Section 7.01(d), all of the rights and
obligations (but not the liabilities for actions and omissions occurring prior
thereto) of the Defaulting Party under this Agreement and in and to the Trust
Fund and the Companion Loans, other than its rights, if any, as a
Certificateholder hereunder or as the holder of the Companion Loans or any
interest therein, within 30 days following the occurrence of such Event of
Default.
From and after the receipt by the Defaulting Party of such written
notice of termination, all authority and power of the Defaulting Party under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder
of any Certificate), the Loans (other than as a holder thereof or any interest
therein) or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to
and under this section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense
of the Defaulting Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents
and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things
necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination,
whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Loans and
related documents, or otherwise.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agree that, if it
is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in any
event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of
termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and records, including those
in electronic form, requested thereby to enable the Trustee to assume the Master
Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, functions hereunder, and
shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, responsibilities and
rights hereunder, including (i) if the Master Servicer is the Defaulting Party,
the immediate transfer to the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer for
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be or should
have been credited by the Master Servicer to a Custodial Account, the
Distribution Account, the Defeasance Deposit Account, a Servicing Account or a
Reserve Account or that are thereafter received by or on behalf of it with
respect to any Loan or (ii) if the Special Servicer is the Defaulting Party, the
transfer within two Business Days to the Trustee or a successor Special Servicer
for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be or should
have been credited by the Special Servicer to an REO Account, a Custodial
Account, a Servicing Account or a Reserve Account or should have been delivered
to the Master Servicer or that are thereafter received by or on behalf of it
with respect to any Loan or REO Property; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall, if terminated pursuant to this
Section 7.01(b), continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing
to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether
in respect of Advances or otherwise, and it shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination.
Any cost or expenses in connection with any actions to be taken by
any party hereto pursuant to the prior paragraph shall be borne by the
Defaulting Party and if not paid by the Defaulting Party within 90 days after
the presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses, such
expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund; provided, however, that the
Defaulting Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such
expenses. For purposes of this Section 7.01 and also for purposes of Section
7.03(b), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an event which
constitutes, or which with the passage of time or notice, or both, would
constitute an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
assigned to and working in the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has actual
knowledge thereof or unless notice of any event which is in fact such an Event
of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the
Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.
(c) In the case of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a)(x),
(xi) or (xii) of which the Trustee has notice, the Trustee shall provide written
notice thereof to the Master Servicer promptly upon receipt of such notice.
Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b), if the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination under Section 7.01(b) solely due to an Event of Default under
Section 7.01(a)(x), (xi) or (xii) and if the terminated Master Servicer provides
the Trustee with the appropriate "request for proposal" materials within five
Business Days following such termination, then the Master Servicer shall
continue to serve in such capacity hereunder until a successor thereto is
selected in accordance with this Section 7.01(c) or the expiration of 45 days
from the Master Servicer's receipt of the notice of termination, whichever
occurs first.
Upon receipt of such "request for proposal" materials from the
terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such
"request for proposal" materials) solicit good faith bids for the rights to
master service the Loans under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons
qualified to act as a successor Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with
Section 6.02 and Section 7.02 (any such Person so qualified, a "Qualified
Bidder") or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many
Persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that at the
Trustee's request, the terminated Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with
the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and provided, further, that
the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified
Bidders submit bids for the right to master service the Loans under this
Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined
below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor
Master Servicer, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within 45 days
after the receipt of notice of termination by the terminated Master Servicer.
The Trustee shall solicit bids: (i) on the basis of such successor Master
Servicer retaining all Sub-Servicers to continue the primary servicing of the
Loans pursuant to the terms of the respective Sub-Servicing Agreements and to
enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer to
sub-service each of the Loans not subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement at a
sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to the Master Servicing Fee Rate minus
one (1) basis point per Loan serviced (each, a "Servicing-Retained Bid"); and
(ii) on the basis of terminating each Sub-Servicing Agreement and Sub-Servicer
that it is permitted to terminate in accordance with Section 3.23 (each, a
"Servicing-Released Bid"). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with
the highest cash Servicing-Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing
Released Bid) (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, if the
successful bid was a Servicing Retained Bid, to enter into a Sub-Servicing
Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer as contemplated above) no later
than 45 days after the receipt of notice of termination by the terminated Master
Servicer.
Upon the assignment and acceptance of the master servicing rights
hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to
be remitted (i) if the successful bid was a Servicing-Retained Bid, to the
terminated Master Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the
Successful Bidder (net of "out-of-pocket" expenses incurred in connection with
obtaining such bid and transferring servicing) and (ii) if the successful bid
was a Servicing-Released Bid, to the Master Servicer and each terminated
Sub-Servicer its respective Bid Allocation.
The terminated Master Servicer shall be responsible for all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the attempt to sell its
rights to service the Loans, which expenses are not reimbursed to the party that
incurred such expenses pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as
successor Master Servicer within 45 days after the terminated Master Servicer
received written notice of termination or no Successful Bidder was identified
within such 45-day period, the terminated Master Servicer shall reimburse the
Trustee for all reasonable "out-of-pocket" expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further
obligations under this Section 7.01(c). The Trustee thereafter may act or may
select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with
Section 7.02.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b), if any Event of Default on the
part of the Master Servicer occurs that affects a Companion Loan Noteholder (or,
in the case of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, affects the Class OEA-B
Majority Holder and/or the holder of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Subordinate Companion
Loan) and the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated in accordance with
Section 7.01(b), or an Event of Default on the part of the Master Servicer
occurs that affects only one or more of the Companion Loans (or, in the case of
the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, affects only the Class OEA-B Majority Holder
and/or the holder of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Subordinate Companion Loan), the
Master Servicer may not be terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(b), but,
at the direction of the related Companion Loan Noteholder (and/or, in the case
of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Loan Group, the Class OEA-B Majority Holder and/or the
holder of the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Subordinate Companion Loan), the Trustee shall
require the Master Servicer to appoint, within 30 days of the Trustee's request,
a Sub-Servicer (or, if the Loan Groups are 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 Loan Group. In connection
with the Master Servicer's appointment of a Sub-Servicer at the request of the
Trustee in accordance with this Section 7.01(d), the Master Servicer shall
obtain written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such appointment will
not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or any
Companion Loan Securities. 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 7.01(d) shall be responsible for all
duties, and shall be entitled to all compensation, of the Master Servicer under
this Agreement with respect to the related Loan Group, except that the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the Master Servicing Fee for
the Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group calculated at 0.01% per annum. Such
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall also provide that such Sub-Servicer shall agree to
become the master servicer under a separate servicing agreement for the
applicable Loan Group in the event that the applicable Loan Group is no longer
to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement
shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability,
indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to
the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the
applicable Loan Group and the related Loan Group Mortgaged Properties shall be
the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of
funds thereunder. If any Sub-Servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the
request of the Trustee in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall at any time
resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly
appoint a substitute Sub-Servicer, which appointment shall not result in an
Adverse Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or any Companion Loan
Securities (as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency). In the event that a
successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer
desires to terminate the Sub-Servicer appointed under this Section 7.01(d), the
terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Event of Default that
led to the appointment of such Sub-Servicer shall be responsible for all costs
incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any
termination fee.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
resigns pursuant to Section 6.04 or receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, unless and until a successor is appointed
pursuant to Section 6.04, Section 6.09 or Section 7.01(c), be the successor in
all respects to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or
provided for herein and shall have all (and the former Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall cease to have any) of the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, arising thereafter, including, if the Master
Servicer is the resigning or terminated party, the Master Servicer's obligation
to make P&I Advances, including in connection with any termination of the Master
Servicer for an Event of Default described in clause 7.01(a)(iii), the unmade
P&I Advances that gave rise to such Event of Default; provided that any failure
to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's or
the Special Servicer's, as the case may be, failure to provide information or
monies required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee
hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any of the representations and
warranties of the resigning or terminated party or for any losses incurred by
the resigning or terminated party pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder nor shall
the Trustee be required to purchase any Loan hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees and other compensation which
the resigning or terminated party would have been entitled to if the resigning
or terminated party had continued to act hereunder (except as set forth in
Section 3.11(b)). Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to so act as either Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case
may be, or shall, if it is unable to so act as either Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as the case may be, or if the Trustee is not approved as a master
servicer or a special servicer, as the case may be, by any of the Rating
Agencies, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting
Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan
servicing institution as the successor to the resigning or terminated Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the resigning or terminated Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, hereunder; provided, however, that no such appointee shall succeed to
the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder
unless (i) as confirmed in writing by each of the Rating Agencies, such
succession will not result in an Adverse Rating Event, and (ii) such appointee
makes the applicable representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.24;
and provided, further, that in the case of a resigning or terminated Special
Servicer, such appointment shall be subject to the rights of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to the
Controlling Class to designate a successor pursuant to Section 6.09. No
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by the successor to such party
of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove
provided. In connection with any such appointment and assumption described
herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on the Loans as it and such successor shall agree,
subject to the terms of this Agreement limiting the use of funds Received in
respect of a Loan Group to matters related to such Loan Group; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the
resigning or terminated party hereunder. Such successor and the other parties
hereto shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04, any termination of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01, any appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 or the
effectiveness of any designation of a new Special Servicer pursuant to Section
6.09, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders
at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and the
Master Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Companion Loan
Noteholders.
(b) Not later than 10 days after a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has notice of the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Depositor, all the Certificateholders, the
Companion Loan Noteholders (to the extent the Trustee has received their
respective contact information from the Master Servicer, who shall provide such
information to the Trustee upon request) and the Rating Agencies notice of such
occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.
Section 7.04 Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights
allocated to each Class of Certificates affected by any Event of Default
hereunder, together with the Companion Loan Noteholders (if adversely affected
by such Event of Default), and if the Class OEA-B Certificates are adversely
affected, the Class OEA-B Majority Holder, may waive such Event of Default;
provided, however, that an Event of Default under any of clauses (i), (ii),
(iii), (x), (xi) and (xii) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only by all of the
Certificateholders of the affected Classes, together with the Companion Loan
Noteholders, if any, that is affected by such Event of Default. Upon any such
waiver of an Event of Default, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and
shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving
any Event of Default pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in
the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to
Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above.
The foregoing paragraph notwithstanding, if the Holders representing
at least the requisite percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to each
affected Class of Certificates (other than the Class OEA-B Certificates) desire
to waive an Event of Default by the Master Servicer, but either a Companion Loan
Noteholder or, in the case of the Class OEA-B Certificates, the Class OEA-B
Majority Holder (in each case if adversely affected thereby) does not wish to
waive that Event of Default, then those Holders may still waive that default,
and the applicable Companion Loan Noteholder or the Class OEA-B Majority Holder,
as applicable, will be entitled to request that the Master Servicer appoint,
within 60 days of the Companion Loan Noteholder's or the Class OEA-B Majority
Holder's request, as applicable, a Sub-Servicer (or, if the applicable Loan
Group is currently being subserviced, to replace, within 60 days of the
Companion Loan Noteholder's or the Class OEA-B Majority Holder's request, the
then-current Sub-Servicer with a new Sub-Servicer) with respect to the
applicable Loan Group. In connection with the Master Servicer's appointment of a
Sub-Servicer at the request of a Companion Loan Noteholder or the Class OEA-B
Majority Holder in accordance with this Section 7.04, the Master Servicer shall
obtain written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such appointment will
not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or any
Companion Loan Securities. The related Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide
that any Sub-Servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a
Companion Loan Noteholder or the Class OEA-B Majority Holder in accordance with
this Section 7.04 shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to
all compensation, of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to
the applicable Loan Group, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
retain a portion of the Master Servicing Fee for the Mortgage Loan in the Loan
Group calculated at 0.01% per annum. Such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall also
provide that such Sub-Servicer shall become the master servicer under a separate
servicing agreement for the applicable Loan Group in the event that the Loan
Group is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate
servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of
liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially
similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact
that the applicable Loan Group and the Loan Group Mortgaged Properties shall be
the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of
funds thereunder. Such Sub-Servicer shall meet the requirements of Section 3.23.
If any Sub-Servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of the
Companion Loan Noteholder or the Class OEA-B Majority Holder in accordance with
this Section 7.04 shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer
shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute Sub-Servicer, which
appointment shall not result in an Adverse Rating Event (as evidenced in writing
by each Rating Agency). In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting
hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the
Sub-Servicer appointed under this Section 7.04, the terminated Master Servicer
that was responsible for the Event of Default that led to the appointment of
such Sub-Servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with
such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.
Section 7.05 Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the
rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust and on behalf of the Companion Loan Noteholders, to
take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to
enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the
rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan
Noteholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial,
administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt
in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any
other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to
any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall
impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event
of Default.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs; provided that if the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, it shall act in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Any
permissive right of the Trustee contained in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement (other than the Mortgage Files, the review of which
is specifically governed by the terms of Article II), shall examine them to
determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any
such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in
a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to
have the instrument corrected. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the
accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, and accepted by the Trustee in good faith,
pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties
and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for
the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith
on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the direction of any
Directing Holder, Controlling Class or Holders of Certificates entitled to
at least 25% of the Voting Rights, relating to the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
Agreement; and
(iv) The protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to the
Trustee hereunder shall also be available to it in its capacity as
Authenticating Agent, Certificate Registrar, Tax Administrator and
Custodian.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01 and Article X:
(i) the Trustee may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other
paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of
such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith;
(iii) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any
investigation of matters arising hereunder or, except as provided in
Section 10.01 or 10.02, to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of any
of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; except as provided
in Section 10.01 or 10.02, the Trustee shall not be required to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing
that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it; nothing contained herein shall,
however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default which has not been cured, to exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by
it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred
upon it by this Agreement;
(v) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, and
except as may be provided in Section 10.01 or 10.02, the Trustee shall not
be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment
within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to
the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or
liability as a condition to taking any such action;
(vi) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys; provided, however, that the Trustee shall remain responsible
for all acts and omissions of such agents or attorneys within the scope of
their employment to the same extent as it is responsible for its own
actions and omissions hereunder; and
(vii) the Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (unless the Trustee is
acting as Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or the Depositor.
Section 8.03 Trustee and Fiscal Agent Not Liable for Validity or
Sufficiency of Certificates or Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, other than
the statements attributed to the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent in Article II and
Section 8.16 and Section 8.18 and the signature of the Certificate Registrar and
the Authenticating Agent set forth on each outstanding Certificate, shall not be
taken as the statements of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, and neither the
Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall assume any responsibility for their
correctness. Except as expressly set forth in Section 8.16 and 8.18, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Agreement or of any Certificate (other than as to the signature of the
Trustee set forth thereon) or of any Loan or related document. The Trustee and
the Fiscal Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Depositor of any of the Certificates issued to it or of the proceeds of such
Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor
in respect of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund, or any
funds deposited in or withdrawn from a Custodial Account or any other account by
or on behalf of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. The
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall not be responsible for the accuracy or
content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document,
order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, and accepted by the Trustee in good faith, pursuant to this
Agreement.
Section 8.04 Trustee and Fiscal Agent May Own Certificates.
The Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or any agent of the Trustee and the
Fiscal Agent, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Certificates with (except as otherwise provided in the definition of
"Certificateholder") the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee,
the Fiscal Agent or such agent.
Section 8.05 Fees and Expenses of Trustee; Indemnification of and by
Trustee.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the
general funds on deposit in the Distribution Account, prior to any distributions
to be made therefrom on such date, and pay to itself the Trustee Fee for such
Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously paid, for all prior
Distribution Dates, as compensation for all services rendered by the Trustee in
the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance
of any of the powers and duties of the Trustee hereunder. The Trustee Fees
(which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust) shall constitute the Trustee's
sole compensation for such services to be rendered by it.
(b) The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee shall be entitled to be indemnified for and held harmless by the Trust
Fund against any loss, liability or reasonable "out-of-pocket" expense
(including costs and expenses incurred in connection with removal of the Special
Servicer and Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 7.01 and 7.02, costs and
expenses of litigation, and of investigation, counsel fees, damages, judgments
and amounts paid in settlement) arising out of, or incurred in connection with,
this Agreement or the Certificates ("Trustee Liability"); provided that such
loss, liability or expense constitutes an "unanticipated expense" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii); and provided,
further, that neither the Trustee nor any of the other above specified Persons
shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.05(b) for (1)
any liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, or (2) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of, or the
negligent disregard of, the Trustee's obligations and duties hereunder, or as
may arise from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Trustee made herein, or (3) any loss, liability or expense that constitutes
allocable overhead. The provisions of this Section 8.05(b) and of Section
8.05(c) shall survive any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment
of a successor trustee.
(c) If the Trustee Liability arises from the issuance or sale of the
Certificates and the indemnification provided for in Section 8.05(b) is invalid
or unenforceable, then the Trust Fund shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by the Trustee as a result of such Trustee Liability in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of any of the other parties on
the one hand and the Trustee on the other in connection with the actions or
omissions which resulted in such Trustee Liability, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.
(d) The Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund
against any losses arising out of any errors made solely by the Trustee in
calculating distributions to be made hereunder and any other calculation or
reporting hereunder (in each case not attributable to information provided to
the Trustee by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer); provided that such
loss arose by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on the part
of the Trustee. The provisions of this Section 8.05(d) shall survive any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a bank, a trust company,
an association or a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to exercise trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state banking authority. If such bank, trust company, association or
corporation 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 bank,
trust company, association or corporation shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. The Trustee shall at all times maintain a long-term unsecured debt
rating of at least "Aa3" by Xxxxx'x, "AA-" by S&P (or "A+" by S&P if the
short-term unsecured debt rating of the Trustee is rated at least "A-1" by S&P)
and "AA-" by Fitch Ratings (or "A+" by Fitch Ratings if the short-term unsecured
debt rating of the Trustee is rated at least "F-1" by Fitch Ratings) (or, if a
Fiscal Agent meeting the requirements of Section 8.17(a) is then currently
acting in such capacity, of at least "A3" by Xxxxx'x, "A-" by S&P and "A-" by
Fitch Ratings) (or, in the case of either Rating Agency, such other rating as
shall not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to the Certificates or
any Companion Loan Securities, as confirmed in writing by such Rating Agency).
The Trustee's acting in such capacity shall not adversely affect the application
of the Prohibited Transaction Exemption to the Investment Grade Certificates. If
at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in Section 8.07; provided that if the Trustee
shall cease to be so eligible because its combined capital and surplus is no
longer at least $50,000,000 or its long-term unsecured debt rating no longer
conforms to the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence, and if the
Trustee proposes to the other parties hereto to enter into an agreement with
(and reasonably acceptable to) each of them, and if in light of such agreement
the Trustee's continuing to act in such capacity would not (as evidenced in
writing by each Rating Agency) cause an Adverse Rating Event, then upon the
execution and delivery of such agreement the Trustee shall not be required to
resign, and may continue in such capacity, for so long as none of the ratings
assigned by the Rating Agencies to the Certificates is adversely affected
thereby. The bank, trust company, corporation or association serving as Trustee
may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and their respective Affiliates.
Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, all Certificateholders and the Companion
Loan Noteholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall
promptly appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the Depositor by written
instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be
delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificateholders
and the Companion Loan Noteholders by the Depositor. If no successor trustee
shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or if
the Trustee shall fail (other than by reason of the failure of either the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer to timely perform its obligations hereunder or
as a result of other circumstances beyond the Trustee's reasonable control), to
timely deliver or otherwise make available in accordance with this Agreement any
current or revised Distribution Date Statement, CMSA Loan Periodic Update File,
CMSA Property File, CMSA Financial File or other report or statement required by
Section 4.02 and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of five
days after receipt of written notice by the Trustee of such failure, or if a tax
is imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which
the Trustee is located or in which it holds any portion of the Trust Fund, then
the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee acceptable
to the Depositor and the Master Servicer by written instrument, in duplicate,
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the
successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan
Noteholders by the successor trustee so appointed.
(c) The Holders of Certificates entitled to 51% of the Voting Rights
may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument or instruments, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact
duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the
Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set
to the successor trustee so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be
delivered to the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the remaining
Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Noteholders by the successor trustee
so appointed.
(d) In the event that the Trustee is terminated or removed pursuant
to this Section 8.07, all of its and any corresponding Fiscal Agent's rights and
obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Loans shall be terminated,
other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such
termination or removal (including the right to receive all fees, expenses and
other amounts (including P&I Advances and any accrued interest thereon) accrued
or owing to it under this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date
of such termination or removal, and no termination without cause shall be
effective until the payment of such amounts to the Trustee and such Fiscal
Agent).
