As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated

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.

(1) The Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest that corresponds to any particular
Class of Principal Balance Certificates also correspond to each other and,
accordingly, constitute the "Corresponding Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interest" with respect to each other.
The initial aggregate principal balance of the Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interests will be $3,611,656,137.
The portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Post-ARD Additional
Interest shall be treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. As
provided herein, the Trustee shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the
portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust Assets maintains its
status as a "grantor trust" under federal income tax law and not be treated as
part of the Lower Tier REMIC or the Upper Tier REMIC. The Class V Certificates
represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Grantor Trust
representing the Post-ARD Additional Interest as described herein.
There are nine 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 in the case of the Investcorp Retail
Portfolio Companion Loan, pari passu in right of payment to the Investcorp
Retail Portfolio Trust Loan Senior Component) 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.

Specially Serviced Loan, or (iii) when:
(w) with respect to the circumstances described in clause (a) of
this definition, the related Mortgagor has made three consecutive full and
timely Monthly Payments under the terms of such Serviced Loan (as such terms may

no later than the entry of an order or decree dismissing such proceeding;

this definition, such default is cured as determined by the Special Servicer in
its reasonable, good faith judgment; and

The Special Servicer may conclusively rely on the Master Servicer's
determination and the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on the Special
Servicer's determination as to whether a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred
giving rise to a Serviced Loan's becoming a Specially Serviced Loan. If any
Serviced Loan that is part of any Loan Group becomes a Specially Serviced Loan,
then each other Serviced Loan in the Loan Group shall also become a Specially

"Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts" shall mean with respect to

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%.

principal Received by the Trust with respect to the Sub-Pool to
which such Mortgage Loan generating the Nonrecoverable Advance
belongs 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 representing payments or other
collections of principal Received by the Trust with respect to the
other Sub-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 any subsequent
Distribution Date;
(iii) third, 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 Sub-Pool to
which such Mortgage Loan generating the Nonrecoverable Advance
belongs 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;
(iv) fourth, out of any amounts representing any other
payments or other collections Received by the Trust with respect to
the other Sub-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 any subsequent
Distribution Date; and
(v) fifth, 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,
the Sub-Pool 1 Principal Distribution Amount and the Sub-Pool 2 Principal
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and for such Sub-Pool, as
applicable, the amount of such payment or other collection of principal
shall be subtracted from the Principal Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date and the applicable Sub-Pool.
(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.
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 or the Trustee 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 (exclusive, however, in the case of an REO Loan that relates
to the ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, of any such accrued and
unpaid interest that constitutes Post-ARD Additional Interest); 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); 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 (exclusive, however, in the case of an REO Loan that relates to the ARD
Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, of any such accrued and unpaid
interest that constitutes Post-ARD Additional Interest); and fifth, in the case
of an REO Loan that relates to the ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment
Date, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid Post-ARD Additional Interest on 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 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 or the Trustee 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 or the Trust, as the case may be, in respect of an REO
Loan.
ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ORIGINAL
ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01 Creation of Trust; Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that a common law
trust be established pursuant to this Agreement and that such trust be
designated as "Commercial Mortgage Trust 2006-GG7, Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-GG7." LaSalle Bank National Association
is hereby appointed, and does hereby agree, to act as Trustee hereunder and, in
such capacity, to hold the Trust Fund in trust for the exclusive use and benefit
of all present and future Certificateholders. The Depositor, concurrently with
the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby assign, sell, transfer, set over
and otherwise convey to the Trustee in trust, without recourse, for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor
in, to and under (i) the Mortgage Loans, (ii) the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, (iii) the Co-Lender Agreements, and (iv) all other assets included or
to be included in the Trust Fund. Such assignment includes all interest and
principal received or receivable on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans and
due after the Cut-off Date and, in the case of each Loan Group Trust Mortgage
Loan, is subject to the related Co-Lender Agreement and/or the related Lead PSA.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding
Section 12.07, 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
behalf of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders), with copies of the related
reserve and cash management agreements for such Mortgage Loan to be delivered to
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. None of the Trustee, any
Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be liable for any
failure by a Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor to comply with the document
delivery requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and
this Section 2.01(b). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with
respect to letters of credit, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver
to the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall hold the original (or copy,
if such original has been submitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to
the issuing bank to effect an assignment or amendment of such letter of credit
(changing the beneficiary thereof to the Trust (in care of the Master Servicer)
that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of
credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof
and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents) and the applicable Mortgage Loan
Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied any delivery requirements of the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) by delivering
with respect to any letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Trustee together
with an officer's certificate of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller certifying
that such document has been delivered to the Master Servicer or an officer's
certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of
credit pursuant to this Section 2.01(b); the original or a copy shall be
delivered to the Trustee on the Closing Date. If a letter of credit referred to
in the previous sentence is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer
to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the
applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the appropriate assignment or
amendment documents (or copies of such assignment or amendment documents if the
related Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer
of such letter of credit for processing) to the Master Servicer within 90 days
of the Closing Date. The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of
assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the
Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trust and
shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with effectuating a draw under
any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or
amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the
Trust.
After the Depositor's transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), the Depositor shall not take any action
inconsistent with the Trust's ownership of the Mortgage Loans.
(c) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that each Mortgage
Loan Seller has covenanted in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
that it shall bear the costs related to recording or filing, as the case may be,
in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC Financing
Statements, as appropriate, each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment
of Assignment of Leases, in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (a)(iv)
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
Trustee shall promptly undertake to record or file any such document upon its
receipt thereof. This paragraph shall not apply to any Non-Serviced Trust Loan,
because the documents referred to in this paragraph have been assigned to the
applicable Lead Trustee.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that each Mortgage Loan
Seller has covenanted in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as to
each Serviced 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
returned to the Trustee or its agent following filing; provided that, in those
instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of
Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Trustee shall obtain
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.
If any of the aforementioned assignments is lost or returned
unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, then the
Trustee shall direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the
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.
(d) 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 (or cause to be delivered and deposited) with the Master Servicer within
10 Business Days after the Closing Date, documents and records that (A) relate
to the servicing and administration of the Serviced Loans, (B) are part of the
Servicing File and (C) are in possession or under control of the applicable
Mortgage Loan Seller, together with (i) all unapplied Escrow Payments and
Reserve Funds in the possession of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller that
relate to such Serviced Loans and (ii) a statement indicating which Escrow
Payments and Reserve Funds are allocable to such Serviced Loans, provided that
the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft
documents, privileged or other internal communications, credit underwriting, due
diligence analyses or data, or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or
evaluations. The Master Servicer shall hold all such documents, records and
funds on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (and, insofar as they also relate to the Companion Loans, on
behalf of and for the benefit of the applicable Companion Loan Noteholder).
(e) It is not intended that this Agreement create a partnership or a
joint-stock association.
Section 2.02 Acceptance of Trust Fund by Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement,
hereby accepts receipt, directly or through a Custodian on its behalf, of (i)
the Mortgage Loans and all documents delivered to it that constitute portions of
the related Mortgage Files and (ii) all other assets delivered to it and
included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse
claim, and declares that it or a Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold
such documents and any other documents subsequently received by it that
constitute portions of the Mortgage Files, and that it holds and will hold the
Mortgage Loans and such other assets, together with any other assets
subsequently delivered to it that are to be included in the Trust Fund, in trust
for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee (i) with respect to each Serviced Loan Group, shall also
hold the portion of such Mortgage File that relates to the Companion Loan in
such Loan Group in trust for the use and benefit of the related Companion Loan
Noteholder and (ii) with respect to each Loan Group, hereby assumes the
obligations and rights of the holder of the related Loan Group Trust Mortgage
Loan under the applicable Co-Lender Agreement and/or applicable Lead PSA.
In connection with the foregoing, the Trustee hereby certifies to
each of the other parties hereto, each Mortgage Loan Seller and each Underwriter
that, as to each Mortgage Loan, except as specifically identified in the
Schedule of Exceptions to Mortgage File Delivery attached hereto as Schedule II,
(i) all documents specified in clauses (a)(i), (ii), (vii), (ix), (xi) and (xix)
of the definition of "Mortgage File" (but in the case of documents specified in
clauses (ix) and (xix) only to the extent the Trustee or a Custodian on its
behalf has actual knowledge of their existence) of the definition of "Mortgage
File" are in its possession or the possession of a Custodian on its behalf
(other than in respect of the Non-Serviced Trust Loans, with the exception of
the related Mortgage Note and the related endorsements specified in clause
(a)(i)(A) of the definition of "Mortgage File"), and (ii) the original Mortgage
Note (or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit, the copy of such Mortgage
Note) received by it or any Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan has
been reviewed by it or by such Custodian on its behalf and (A) appears regular
on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute
irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appears to have been executed
(where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan.
(b) On or about the 45th day following the Closing Date (and, if any
exceptions are noted, again on or about the 90th day following the Closing Date
and monthly thereafter until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, (ii) the day on which all material exceptions have been removed
and (iii) the day on which the Depositor has repurchased the last affected
Mortgage Loan), the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall review the
documents delivered to it or such Custodian with respect to each Mortgage Loan,
and the Trustee shall, subject to Sections 2.01, 2.02(c) and 2.02(d), certify in
writing (substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto) to each of the other
parties hereto, each Mortgage Loan Seller and each Underwriter (and, in the case
of a Serviced Loan Group, to the related Companion Loan Noteholder, upon
request) that, as to each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of the
Non-Serviced Trust Loans, with the exception of the related Mortgage Note and
the related endorsements specified in clause (a)(i)(A) of the definition of
"Mortgage File") then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically
identified in any exception report annexed to such certification): (i) all
documents specified in clauses (a)(i) through (a)(v), (a)(vii) and, if
applicable, (a)(viii) (without regard to the second parenthetical in such clause
(a)(viii)) of the definition of "Mortgage File") that are required to be
delivered hereunder have been delivered; (ii) the recordation/filing
contemplated by Section 2.01(c) has been completed (based solely on receipt by
the Trustee of the particular recorded/filed documents); (iii) all documents
received by it or any Custodian with respect to such Loan have been reviewed by
it or by such Custodian on its behalf and (A) appear regular on their face
(handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute
irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appear to have been executed
(where appropriate) and (C) purport to relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (iv)
based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) above and this Section
2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (v) and
(vi)(B) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects the
information set forth in the Mortgage File. With respect to the items listed in
clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and, if applicable, (vi) of the definition of Mortgage
File if the original of such document is not in the Trustee's possession because
it has not been returned from the applicable recording office, then the
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 (with a copy to the Master Servicer) (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 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 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) 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 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 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.
If (x) any Mortgage Loan is subject to a Material Breach or Material
Document Defect and would otherwise be required to be repurchased as
contemplated in this Section 2.03, (y) such Mortgage Loan is a
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan or is secured by a portfolio of Mortgaged
Properties, and (z) the applicable Material Breach or Material Document Defect
does not constitute a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case
may be, as to any related Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan or applies to only
specific Mortgaged Properties included in such portfolio, 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 (i) in the case of a
Cross-Collateralized Group, 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 or (ii) in the case of Mortgage Loan secured by a
portfolio of Mortgaged Properties, release the affected Mortgaged Properties
from the cross-collateralization of the Mortgage Loan; provided that no such
termination or release 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 or release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with
respect to either REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event to occur with
respect to the Grantor Trust and (B) written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that such termination or release 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 or Mortgaged Properties
relating to such Mortgage Loan secured by a portfolio of Mortgaged Properties
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) or Mortgage Loan (including the affected Mortgaged Property) set
forth in the Prospectus Supplement, (iv) the loan-to-value ratio for all of the
Mortgage Loans of such Cross-Collateralized Group or Mortgaged Properties
relating to such Mortgage Loan secured by a portfolio of Mortgaged Properties
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) or Mortgage Loan (including the affected Mortgaged Property) 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 or Mortgage Loan in lieu of effecting a termination
of the cross-collateralization or a release of the affected Mortgaged Properties
from the cross-collateralization of the Mortgage Loan. In the event that the
cross-collateralization of any Cross-Collateralized Group is terminated or any
Mortgaged Property related to a Mortgage Loan secured by a portfolio of
Mortgaged Properties is released from the cross-collateralization of the
portfolio pursuant to this paragraph, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may elect
either to repurchase only the affected Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan or
Mortgaged Properties as to which the Material Breach or Material Document Defect
exists or to repurchase the aggregate Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans or the
entire Mortgage Loan secured by a portfolio of Mortgaged Properties, as the case
may be. 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.
(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 cost
of 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." 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, and, subject to Sections 2.01 and 2.02, the delivery to it or a Custodian

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, if any, 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 or the Trustee shall have no obligation or authority to
supervise the applicable Lead Master Servicer, the applicable Lead Special
Servicer, the applicable Lead Trustee or 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 or the Trustee 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 Certificateholders 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 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 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
(without, subject to the applicable Co-Lender Agreement, any obligation of the
Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee to make any Advance on such
Serviced Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan that is no longer part of the Trust
Fund), 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; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special
Servicer shall, with respect to the ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment
Date, take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of Post-ARD
Additional Interest (other than the making of requests for its collection),
unless (i) the taking of an enforcement action with respect to the payment of
other amounts due under the ARD Loan is, in the good faith and reasonable
judgment of the Special Servicer, necessary, appropriate and consistent with the
Servicing Standard or (ii) all other amounts due under the ARD Loan have been
paid, the payment of such Post-ARD Additional Interest has not been forgiven in
accordance with Section 3.21 and, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of
the Special Servicer, the Liquidation Proceeds expected to be recovered in
connection with such enforcement action will cover the anticipated costs of such
enforcement action and, if applicable, any associated interest accrued on
Advances. 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) [Reserved]
(c) 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. 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
lender, as follows (without duplication): first, as a recovery of any related
and unreimbursed Servicing Advances (together with interest thereon), and if
applicable, unpaid Liquidation Expenses, in each case to the extent such
application is permitted under the terms of the related Loan documents; second,
as a recovery of any Nonrecoverable Advance and Unliquidated Advance in respect
of such Mortgage Loan and, in each case, interest thereon that was reimbursed
from general principal collections on the Mortgage Pool, to the extent such
application is permitted under the terms of the related Loan documents; third,
as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on, and principal of, such Mortgage
Loan, exclusive, however, in the case of the ARD Loan after its Anticipated
Repayment Date, of any such accrued and unpaid interest that constitutes
Post-ARD Additional Interest, to the extent of any outstanding P&I Advances and
unpaid Master Servicing Fees in respect of such Mortgage Loan; fourth, as a
recovery of any remaining accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan at
the related Mortgage Rate to, but not including, the related Due Date,
exclusive, however, in the case of the ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment
Date, of any such accrued and unpaid interest that constitutes Post-ARD
Additional Interest; fifth, as a recovery of any remaining principal of such
Mortgage Loan then due and owing, including by reason of acceleration of the
Mortgage Loan following a default thereunder (or, if a Liquidation Event has
occurred in respect of such Mortgage Loan, as a recovery of principal to the
extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance); 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, insurance premiums (including
premiums on any Environmental Insurance Policy), 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 Funds to the extent then
required to be held in escrow; eighth, as a recovery of any Prepayment Premium
or Yield Maintenance Charge then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan; ninth,
as a recovery of any Default Charges then due and owing under such Mortgage
Loan; tenth, as a recovery of any assumption fees, modification fees and
extension fees then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan; eleventh, as a
recovery of any other amounts then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan (other
than remaining unpaid principal and, in the case of the ARD Loan after its
Anticipated Repayment Date, other than Post-ARD Additional Interest); twelfth,
as a recovery of any remaining principal of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of
its entire remaining unpaid principal balance; and, thirteenth, in the case of
the ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, as a recovery of accrued and
unpaid Post-ARD Additional Interest on the ARD Loan to but not including the
date of receipt.
All amounts Received with respect to any Loan Group shall be applied
to amounts due and owing under such Loan Group (including for principal and
accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the
related Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgage and the related loan agreement, and
in the absence of such express provisions, in accordance with the provisions of
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 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 or the Trustee, 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, Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Account and Class V Sub-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) 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 Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests. The Pool
Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. 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) 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 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 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 Loan, and, in the case
of the 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Loan, the Master Servicing Fee payable by the
related Mortgagor;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation
Proceeds received in respect of any Serviced 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 Mortgage Loans to
or through the Companion Loan Noteholders pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement or
as a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to Section 3.19 or the repurchase of a
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 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 (vi) 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 four 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 Interest Reserve Account and
the Class V Sub-Account. 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 or, in the case of the Post-ARD Additional
Interest, in the Class V Sub-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.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve
Account and the Class V Sub-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
Interest Reserve Account or the Class V Sub-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.
The Trustee shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account, 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 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(h) and
4.01(i), 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 2007), 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 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 (in either case, unless such Distribution
Date is the Final Distribution Date), 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, as the case may be,
for such Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding that the Interest Reserve Account, the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account and the Class V
Sub-Account may be sub-accounts of the Distribution Account for reasons of
administrative convenience, the Interest Reserve Account, the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account and the Class V
Sub-Account 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 (to the extent not allocable to
a Companion Loan) received during the Collection Period ending on the
Determination Date immediately prior to such Master Servicer Remittance Date.
(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), the Class V
Sub-Account 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 and the Class V Sub-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, the Class V Sub-Account or the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Account prior to any change thereof.
(f) The Trustee shall establish, prior to the Master Servicer
Remittance Date relating to any Due Period in which the Post-ARD Additional
Interest is received, and maintain the Class V Sub-Account in the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Class V Certificates. The Class V
Sub-Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account or,
subject to Section 3.04(b), a subaccount of an Eligible Account. On or before
each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the
Trustee for deposit in the Class V Sub-Account an amount equal to the Post-ARD
Additional Interest received by the Master Servicer during the related Due
Period. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw the Post-ARD
Additional Interest from the Class V Sub-Account for distribution pursuant to
Section 4.01(k). Following the distribution of Post-ARD Additional Interest in
full to Holders of the Class V Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate the
Class V Sub-Account.
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 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 Mortgage Loans to or
through the related Subordinate Companion Loan Noteholder or the
repurchase of a 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 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 one Business Day 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).
(b) 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.
(c) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the
related Companion Loan Noteholders and the Special Servicer of the location of
the related Loan Group Custodial Account when first established and of the new
location of such Custodial Account prior to any change thereof.

Liquidation Proceeds Account.

from the Pool Custodial Account for any of the following purposes (the order set
forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
the amounts required to be so deposited pursuant to the first paragraph of
Section 3.04(b), and any amounts that may be applied to make P&I Advances
pursuant to Section 4.03(a);

and Master Servicer's, as the case may be, respective rights to
reimbursement pursuant to this clause (ii) with respect to any such P&I
Advance being limited to amounts on deposit in the Pool Custodial Account
that represent Late Collections of interest and principal (net of the
related Master Servicing Fees and any related Workout Fees or Liquidation
Fees) received in respect of the particular Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage
Loan as to which such P&I Advance was made; provided, however, that if any
P&I Advance that was made with respect to the Mortgage Pool (including any
Mortgage Loans that are part of a Serviced Loan Group and any related REO
Loans) becomes a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, then such P&I
Advance shall thereafter be reimbursed from the portion of general
collections and recoveries on or in respect of all of the Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties on deposit in the Pool Custodial Account from time to
time that represent collections or recoveries of principal to the extent
provided in clause (vii) below until such Advance becomes a Nonrecoverable
Advance;
(iii) to pay (A) to itself earned and unpaid Master Servicing Fees
with respect to the Mortgage Pool (exclusive of the Serviced Loan Group
Trust Mortgage Loans and any related REO Mortgage Loans), the Master
Servicer's right to payment pursuant to this clause (iii)(A) with respect
to any such Master Servicing Fees being limited to amounts on deposit in

collections on the Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Pool Custodial Account,
any Master Servicing Fee earned in respect of any Mortgage Loan or REO
Mortgage Loan (including any Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans and/or any
related REO Mortgage Loans, to the extent not paid from the related Loan
Group Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05A) that remains unpaid
after the application of clause (A) above following a Final Recovery
Determination made with respect to such Mortgage Loan or the related REO
Property and the deposit into the Pool Custodial Account of all amounts
received in connection with such Final Recovery Determination;
(iv) to pay to the Special Servicer, out of general collections on
the Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Pool Custodial Account, earned and
unpaid Special Servicing Fees in respect of each Specially Serviced Loan

and/or any related REO Mortgage Loans, to the extent not paid from the
related Loan Group Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05A);
(v) to pay the Special Servicer (or, if applicable, a predecessor
Special Servicer) any earned and unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees

related REO Mortgage Loans, to the extent not paid from the related Loan
Group Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05A), as applicable, in the
amounts and from the sources specified in Section 3.11(b);

the Master Servicer's and the Special Servicer's respective rights to
reimbursement pursuant to this clause (vi) with respect to any Servicing

Liquidation Fees or Workout Fees payable therefrom), Condemnation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and, if applicable, REO Revenues received in
respect of the particular Mortgage Loan or REO Property as to which such
Servicing Advance was made; provided, however, that if such Servicing
Advance becomes a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, then such
Servicing Advance shall thereafter be reimbursed from the portion of
general collections and recoveries on or in respect of all of the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties on deposit in the Pool Custodial Account from
time to time that represent collections or recoveries of principal to the
extent provided in clause (vii) below until such Advance becomes a
Nonrecoverable Advance;
(vii) to reimburse the Trustee, itself and the Special Servicer, in
that order, out of general collections on the Mortgage Pool on deposit in
the Pool Custodial Account, first from such amounts that are allocated to
the Sub-Pool to which the subject Loan belongs and second from any other

the LB-UBS 2006-C4 PSA, as applicable (up to, with respect to servicing
advances, the corresponding Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan's proportionate
share of such advance, or if such amount, together with amounts available
in the trust fund created under the 2005-GG5 PSA or the LB-UBS 2006-C4
PSA, as applicable, is insufficient to reimburse the party that made such
advance, then up to the full amount of such advance) and (2) for any
Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts, such reimbursement to be made out
of the principal portion of the general collections on the Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties, net of such amounts being reimbursed pursuant to
clause (1) above, until such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount becomes

above may be withdrawn over time in accordance with Section 3.05(e);
(viii) to pay the Trustee, itself and the Special Servicer, in that
order, any interest accrued and payable in accordance with Section

payment pursuant to this clause (viii) with respect to interest on any
such Advance being limited to amounts on deposit in the Pool Custodial

(x) to pay, out of amounts on deposit in the Pool Custodial Account
that represent Default Charges collected on or in respect of the related

above, any unpaid expense (other than interest accrued on Advances, which
is payable pursuant to clause (viii) above, and other than Special
Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees) incurred with respect

Expense, as and to the extent contemplated by Sections 3.27(a) and (b);
(xi) to pay, out of general collections on the Mortgage Pool on
deposit in the Pool Custodial Account, (A) costs and expenses incurred by

provided that, in the case of a Loan Group Mortgaged Property, any payment
pursuant to this clause (xi) is to be made only to the extent that it

related Loan Group;
(xii) to pay itself, as additional servicing compensation in
accordance with Section 3.11(a), (A) interest and investment income earned

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting
records, on a loan-by-loan basis when appropriate, in connection with any
withdrawal from the Pool Custodial Account pursuant to clauses (ii) through
(xix) above.
The Master Servicer shall pay to the Special Servicer (or to third
party contractors at the direction of the Special Servicer) or the Trustee from
the Pool Custodial Account, amounts permitted to be paid to the Special Servicer
(or to any such third party contractor) or the Trustee therefrom promptly upon
receipt of a written statement of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer or
of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee describing the item and amount to which
the Special Servicer (or such third party contractor) or the Trustee, as
applicable, is entitled (unless such payment to the Special Servicer or the
Trustee (for example, the Trustee Fee), 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 2005-GG5 Master Servicer, the
2005-GG5 Special Servicer, the 2005-GG5 Trustee, or 2005-GG5 Fiscal Agent in
respect of any servicing advance made by such parties subsequently determined to

2005-GG5 PSA. With respect to any reimbursement to be made hereunder to the
LB-UBS 2006-C4 Master Servicer, the LB-UBS 2006-C4 Special Servicer or the

subsequently determined to be nonrecoverable pursuant to the terms of the LB-UBS
2006-C4 PSA, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on a written statement
from such party delivered to the Master Servicer that such advance made is
nonrecoverable under the terms of the LB-UBS 2006-C4 PSA.
The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting for
each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Property, on a loan-by-loan basis, for the
purpose of justifying any request for withdrawal from the Pool Custodial
Account. With respect to each Mortgage Loan for which it makes an Advance, the
Trustee shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a loan-by-loan basis,
for the purpose of justifying any request for withdrawal 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(h) and
4.01(i), 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):
(i) to make distributions to Certificateholders from the applicable
sub-account on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 or 9.01, as
applicable;
(ii) to pay (A) the Trustee or any of their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents, as the case may be, out of general
collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Distribution Account,
any amounts payable or reimbursable to any such Person pursuant to Section
7.01(b) and/or Section 8.05, as applicable, and (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 Section 10.01(i), or (C) as contemplated by Section
12.01(a) or 12.01(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 the REMIC Pool or on the assets or transactions of the
REMIC Pool, 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 2007) (or February if the related Distribution Date is the Final
Distribution Date), 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 or the Trustee,
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 a period longer
than 12 months), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, 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 a
breach of a contractual obligation by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or the Trustee. The Master Servicer's, the Special Servicer's or the Trustee's
agreement to defer reimbursements of Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth in
this Section 3.05(e) is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and is not to
be construed as on obligation on the part of the Master Servicer, Special
Servicer or Trustee or a right of the Certificateholders.
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 until it becomes a Nonrecoverable Advance.
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 JQH Hotel Portfolio
B2 Loan Group and the Centra Point Portfolio Loan Group have been made with
respect to the JQH Hotel Portfolio B2 Loan Group or Centra Point Portfolio Loan
Group under the 2005-GG5 PSA by the 2005-GG5 Master Servicer, the 2005-GG5
Special Servicer, the 2005-GG5 Trustee or 2005-GG5 Fiscal Agent and in
accordance with the 2005-GG5 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 2005-GG5 PSA, from general collections on all
Mortgage Loans in the Pool Custodial Account (up to 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 2005-GG5 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).
(g) In the event that servicing advances on the One New York Plaza
Loan Group have been made with respect to the One New York Plaza Loan Group
under the LB-UBS 2006-C4 PSA by the LB-UBS 2006-C4 Master Servicer, the LB-UBS
2006-C4 Special Servicer or the LB-UBS 2006-C4 Trustee and in accordance with
the LB-UBS 2006-C4 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 LB-UBS 2006-C4 PSA, from general collections on all Mortgage
Loans in the Pool Custodial Account (up to 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 LB-UBS 2006-C4 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).

Account.

respect to any such P&I Advance being limited to amounts on deposit in the

Servicing Fees in respect of the related Loan Group while any Loan in such

Special Servicer) earned and unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees in
respect of the related Loan Group, in the amounts and from the sources

(vii) to reimburse first, the Trustee, second, itself and last, the
Special Servicer, in that order, for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances
made thereby with respect to the related Loan Group or any related REO
Properties, any such party's respective rights to reimbursement pursuant
to this clause (vii) with respect to any Servicing Advance being limited
to amounts on deposit in the applicable Loan Group Custodial Account that
represent payments made by the related Mortgagor to cover the item for
which such Servicing Advance was made, and to amounts on deposit in the
related Loan Group Custodial Account that represent Liquidation Proceeds
(net of Liquidation Fees payable therefrom), Condemnation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds and, if applicable, REO Revenues received in respect of
the related Loan Group or related Loan Group REO Properties as to which
such Servicing Advance was made;
(viii) to reimburse, first, the Trustee, second, itself and last,
the Special Servicer, in that order, out of general collections in the
Loan Group Custodial Account, for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made
thereby with respect to the related Loan Group or any related REO
Properties that such party has determined are Nonrecoverable Advances,
such amounts being allocated among the Loans in the Loan Group as provided
in the related Co-Lender Agreement; provided that such amounts may be

Advance is reimbursed, as and to the extent contemplated by Section
3.27(c), and (B) second, to the extent that the Default Charges described
in the immediately preceding clause (A) are insufficient, but only if such

rights and interests of the Certificateholders;
(xiv) [Reserved];
(xv) to pay, in accordance with Section 3.12(e), out of collections

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 or for the benefit
of the 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 properties that are part of a Non-Serviced Loan Group) 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 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 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 (or, in the case of all-risk insurance or other insurance that covers
acts of terrorism, the Master Servicer shall not be required to cause to be
maintained for any such Mortgaged Property any such insurance that the related
Mortgagor is required but fails to maintain if 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) does not have an
insurable interest or the Special Servicer has determined (in its reasonable
judgment and in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that either (i) such
insurance is not 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 or (ii) such insurance is not available at any
rate); and provided, further, that, to the extent the Loan documents require the
related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with a Qualified Insurer having a
"claims paying ability" or "financial strength" rating, as applicable, better
than "A" from S&P or "A2" from Xxxxx'x, without Rating Agency Confirmation or
the approval of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer may, to the extent
consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit the related Mortgagor to maintain
insurance with a Qualified Insurer that does not meet the requirements of the
Loan documents so long as the related Mortgagor maintains insurance with a
Qualified Insurer of at least "A" from S&P or "A2" from Xxxxx'x.
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 (i) in the case of a
Loan Group, the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan 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); 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 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) 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 or
forced placed 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 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 or forced placed 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 or forced placed 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 or forced placed 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 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 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 Mae
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.
The Master Servicer shall cause each and every sub-servicer for it
to maintain or cause to be maintained by an agent or contractor servicing any
Mortgage Loan on behalf of such sub-servicer, a fidelity bond and an errors and
omissions insurance policy which satisfy the requirements for the fidelity bond
and the errors and omissions policy to be maintained by the Master Servicer to
comply with the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the long-term debt
obligations of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer or its corporate parent,
as the case may be, are rated at xxxxx "X0" 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) In the event that the Master Servicer receives a request from a
Mortgagor pursuant to the provisions of any Performing Serviced Loan that
expressly permit, with the lender's consent, subject to the conditions described
in the loan documents, the transfer of the related Mortgaged Property to, and
assumption of such Loan by, another Person or transfers of certain interests in
such Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall promptly obtain relevant information
for purposes of evaluating such request. For the purpose of the foregoing
sentence, the term "expressly permits" means outright permission to assign,
permission to assign upon satisfaction of certain conditions or prohibition
against assignment except upon the satisfaction of stated conditions. If the
Master Servicer recommends to approve such transfer and/or assumption, the
Master Servicer shall promptly provide to the Special Servicer a copy of such
recommendation (which shall include the reason therefor) and the materials upon
which such recommendation is based. The Special Servicer shall have the right
hereunder, within 15 days of receipt of such recommendation and supporting
materials and any other materials reasonably requested by the Special Servicer,
to reasonably withhold or, subject to Section 3.08(b), Section 3.08(c) and
Section 6.11, grant consent to any such request for such transfer and/or
assumption in accordance with the terms of the Loan and this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard. If the Special Servicer
does not respond within such 15 day period, the Special Servicer's consent shall
be deemed granted (provided that any written confirmation that such transfer or
assumption will not cause an Adverse Rating Event required under Section 3.08(b)
has been obtained). If the Special Servicer consents or is deemed to have
consented to such proposed transfer and/or assumption, the Master Servicer shall
process such request of the related Mortgagor; and, in the case of a transfer of
the related Mortgaged Property to, and assumption of such Loan by, another
Person, the Master Servicer shall be authorized to enter into an assumption or
substitution agreement with the Person, which shall be a Single Purpose Entity,
to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been or is proposed to be conveyed
and/or release the original Mortgagor from liability under the related Loan and
substitute as obligor thereunder the Person to whom the related Mortgaged
Property has been or is proposed to be conveyed; provided, however, that the
Master Servicer shall not enter into any such agreement to the extent that any
terms thereof would result in an Adverse REMIC Event or Adverse Grantor Trust
Event or create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on parity
with, the lien of the related Mortgage. The Master Servicer shall notify the
Trustee, the Special Servicer, each Rating Agency and, in the case of a Loan
Group, the related Companion Loan Noteholders 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 a Review Package. 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. Further, 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.
(b) Other than with respect to a transfer and assumption referred to
in subsection (a) above, if any Serviced Loan contains a provision in the nature
of a "due-on-sale" clause (including without limitation, sales or transfers of
Mortgaged Properties (in full or in part) or the sale, transfer, pledge or
hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in the Mortgagor or its owners),
which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Serviced Loan shall (or may at the lender's
option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an
interest in the related Mortgaged Property or related Mortgagor,
(ii) provides that such Serviced Loan may not be assumed without the
consent of the lender in connection with any such sale or other transfer,
or
(iii) provides that such Serviced Loan or interests in the related
Mortgagor or its owners may be assumed or transferred without the consent
of the related lender provided certain conditions set forth in the loan
documents are satisfied.
then the Master Servicer, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer and the
Directing Holder (subject to the limitations of Section 6.11(b)), on behalf of
the Trustee (as mortgagee of record on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in
the case of a Loan Group Mortgaged Property, on behalf of the related Companion
Loan Noteholders), with respect to the Performing Serviced Loans and the Special
Servicer with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, enforce such restrictions, unless the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined in its reasonable,
good faith judgment, that a 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, together with a Review Package
in respect thereof, to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and,
with respect to a Loan Group, the related Companion Loan Noteholders); provided
that any such waiver of such restrictions shall be subject to Section 6.11. In
addition, the Special Servicer may not waive any "due-on-sale" provision or
consent to any transfer or assumption referred to in subsection (a) above
unless:
(x) the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall
have received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with
respect to such action or
(y) the related Mortgage Loan, (A) together with all
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans related to such Mortgage Loan,
represents less than 5% of the principal balance of all of the Mortgage
Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) together with all Cross-Collateralized
Mortgage Loans related to such Mortgage Loan, has a principal balance that
is equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (C) is not one of the 10 largest
Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance; and
With respect to the Performing Serviced Loans, if the Master
Servicer receives a request for consent to a transfer and assumption of any
Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Special Servicer of
such request and deliver to the Special Servicer its analysis and written
recommendation with respect to such request along with all documents and records
(or copies thereof) in the Master Servicer's possession regarding the proposed
transfer and assumption and such other documents in the Master Servicer's
possession (or copies thereof) regarding the related Serviced Loans as the
Special Servicer shall reasonably require in order to consider the request.
Upon consent by the Special Servicer and the Directing Holder to any
proposed transfer of a Mortgaged Property and assumption by the proposed
transferee of the related Serviced Loan pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the
Master Servicer, with respect to the Performing Serviced Loans, and the Special
Servicer, with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, shall process
the request of the related Mortgagor for such transfer and assumption and shall
be authorized to enter into an assumption or substitution agreement with the
Person, which shall be a Single Purpose Entity, to whom the related Mortgaged
Property has been or is proposed to be conveyed and/or release the original
Mortgagor from liability under the related Serviced Loan and substitute as
obligor thereunder the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been or
is proposed to be conveyed; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, may not enter into any such agreement to the
extent that any terms thereof would result in an Adverse REMIC Event or Adverse
Grantor Trust Event or create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior
to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage. The Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Trustee, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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. The Special Servicer shall
promptly notify the Controlling Class Directing Holder and provide its written
recommendation and analysis along with all documents and information that the
Controlling Class Directing Holder may request.
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 Loans making up the related Cross-Collateralized Group. Further, subject
to the terms of the related loan documents and applicable law, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to
ensure that all costs in connection with any assumption, 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. In connection with any request for Rating Agency Confirmation
pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the Special Servicer shall deliver a Review
Package to each Rating Agency. To the extent permitted by the applicable loan
documents and applicable law, the Special Servicer may charge the related
Mortgagor a fee in connection with any enforcement or waiver contemplated in
this subsection (b).
(c) If any Serviced Loan contains a provision in the nature of a
"due on encumbrance" clause (including, without limitation, any mezzanine
financing of the Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of
preferred equity in the Mortgagor or its owners), which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Serviced Loan shall (or may at the lender's
option) become due and payable upon the creation of any lien or other
encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or interests in the related
Mortgagor,
(ii) requires the consent of the lender to the creation of any such
lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or any
interest in the related Mortgagor, or
(iii) provides that such Mortgaged Property or interests in the
related Mortgagor may be further encumbered without the consent of the
lender provided certain conditions set forth in the loan documents are
satisfied.
then the Master Servicer, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer and the
Directing Holder (subject to the limitations of Section 6.11(b)), on behalf of
the Trustee (as mortgagee of record on behalf of the Certificateholders and, in
the case of a Loan Group Mortgaged Property, on behalf of the related Companion
Loan Noteholders), with respect to the Performing Serviced Loans and the Special
Servicer with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, enforce such restrictions, unless the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined in its reasonable,
good faith judgment, that a 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, together with a Review Package
in respect thereof, to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and,
with respect to a Loan Group, the related Companion Loan Noteholders); provided
that any such waiver of such restrictions shall be subject Section 6.11. In
addition, the Special Servicer may not waive, or consent to the Master Servicer
waiving, any "due-on-encumbrance" provision unless:
(1) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall have received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency
with respect to such action,
(2) the related Mortgage Loan, (A) together with all
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans related to such Mortgage Loan,
represents less than 2% the principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans
in the Trust Fund, (B) together with all Cross-Collateralized Mortgage
Loans related to such Mortgage Loan, 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
(3) 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 Mortgage Loan.
With respect to the Performing Serviced Loans, if the Master
Servicer receives a request for consent to an encumbrance or becomes aware of a
further encumbrance on a Mortgaged Property or becomes aware that there is going
to be a further encumbrance on a Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall
promptly notify the Special Servicer of such request or such encumbrance and
deliver to the Special Servicer its analysis and written recommendations with
respect to such request along with all documents and records in the Master
Servicer's possession (or copies thereof) regarding the further encumbrance and
such other documents in the Master Servicer's possession (or copies thereof)
regarding the related Serviced Loans as the Special Servicer shall reasonably
require in order to consider the request.
Further, subject to the terms of the related loan documents and
applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that all costs in connection with any
encumbrance, 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. In connection with any
request for Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency pursuant to this
Section 3.08(c), the Special Servicer shall deliver a Review Package to such
Rating Agency. To the extent permitted by the applicable loan documents and
applicable law, the Special Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor a fee in
connection with any enforcement or waiver contemplated in this subsection (c).
Upon consent by the Special Servicer and the Directing Holder to any
proposed encumbrance of a Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer, with respect
to the Performing Serviced Loans, and the Special Servicer, with respect to the
Specially Serviced Mortgaged Loans, shall process the request of the related
Mortgagor for such encumbrance and shall be authorized to enter into an
agreement with the Person for whose benefit the related Mortgaged Property has
been or is proposed to be encumbered; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may not enter into any such
agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would result in an Adverse REMIC
Event or Adverse Grantor Trust Event or create any lien on a Mortgaged Property
that is senior to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage. The
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, each Rating
Agency and, with respect to a Loan Group, the related Companion Loan
Noteholders, of any such agreement executed pursuant to this Section 3.08(b) and
shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement. The Special Servicer shall
promptly notify the Controlling Class Directing Holder and provide its written
recommendation and analysis along with all documents and information that the
Controlling Class Directing Holder may request.
(d) 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;
provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer
shall, with respect to the ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, take
any enforcement action with respect to the payment of Post-ARD Additional
Interest (other than the making of requests for its collection), unless (i) the
taking of an enforcement action with respect to the payment of other amounts due
under the ARD Loan is, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special
Servicer, necessary, appropriate and consistent with the Servicing Standard or
(ii) all other amounts due under the ARD Loan have been paid, the payment of
such Post-ARD Additional Interest has not been forgiven in accordance with
Section 3.21 and, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special
Servicer, the Liquidation Proceeds expected to be recovered in connection with
such enforcement action will cover the anticipated costs of such enforcement
action and, if applicable, any associated interest accrued on Advances. Subject
to Section 3.12(d) and Section 3.20(d), the Special Servicer may, at its option,
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, 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 of any resulting Appraisal Reduction
Amount. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such
calculations by the Special Servicer.
The Special Servicer may, at its option, advance the cost of each
such Required Appraisal and updated Required Appraisal; provided, however, that
such expense will be subject to reimbursement to the Special 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 Lower-Tier REMIC at any given time constitutes not more than a de
minimis amount of the assets of 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 the REMIC Pool under the REMIC Provisions or cause the REMIC Pool 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) 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), 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 a rate (A) taking into
account 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, and in the case of the ARD Loan or related REO Loan after its
Anticipated Repayment Date, net of the Additional Interest Rate and (B)
taking into account the risk of collection) 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 a rate (A) taking into account 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, and in the case of the ARD Loan
or related REO Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, net of the
related Additional Interest Rate, and (B) taking into account the risk of
collection) 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 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. 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, 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) 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 Master Servicing Fee payable
with respect to the 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Loan shall be paid by the related Mortgagor.
To the extent that the Master Servicing Fee payable with respect to the 00 Xxxxx
Xxxxxx Loan cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor, such Master
Servicing Fee shall be payable first out of collections on the 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx
Loan and then out of general collections on the Mortgage Pool as expenses of the
Trust. 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.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the initial Master
Servicer (and its successors and assigns) shall be entitled to the Excess
Servicing Strip as part of the Servicing Fee Rate with respect to the Mortgage
Loans that it is servicing and may at its option assign or pledge to any third
party or retain for itself the Excess Servicing Strip; provided, however, that
in the event of any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, all or
any portion of the Excess Servicing Strip may be reduced by the Trustee to the
extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the
Trustee to obtain a qualified successor Master Servicer (which successor may
include the Trustee) that meets the requirements of Section 6.04 and that
requires market rate servicing compensation that accrues at a per annum rate in
excess of 0.005% (0.50 basis points). The Master Servicer (or its successor or
assignee hereunder, if any) shall pay the Excess Servicing Strip to the holder
of the Excess Servicing Strip (i.e., Midland Loan Services, Inc. or any such
third party) at such time and to the extent the Master Servicer is entitled to
receive payment of its Master Servicing Fees hereunder, notwithstanding any
resignation or termination of the Master Servicer hereunder (subject to
reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence).
In the event that the initial Master Servicer is terminated or
resigns as Master Servicer, it (and its successors and assigns) will be entitled
to retain the Excess Servicing Strip, except to the extent that any portion of
such Excess Servicing Strip is needed (as determined by the Trustee in its
discretion) to compensate any replacement Master Servicer for assuming the
duties of the Master Servicer 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 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, and within the time period
provided in such Co-Lender Agreement, by the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to
Section 2.03(a) within the time period provided for therein, 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 within the
time period provided for therein. 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 (i) 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 (ii) any Specially Serviced Loan for
which the Special Servicer has resolved the circumstances and/or conditions
causing any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan to be a Specially
Serviced Loan except that the requirement for three consecutive full and timely
Monthly Payments with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan
has not yet been satisfied as of the date of such termination or resignation but
is subsequently satisfied and such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan
otherwise meets the requirements of a Corrected Loan, with the Workout Fee with
respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan payable only after such
requirements have been met (including the requirement that three payments be
made) (and any 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 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 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 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.
If the Special Servicer is terminated or resigns in accordance with
Section 6.09 or Section 6.04, respectively, it shall retain the right to receive
any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of (i) any Mortgage Loan or Serviced
Companion Loan that became a Corrected Loan during the period that it acted as
Special Servicer and was still a Corrected Loan at the time of such termination
or resignation and (ii) any Specially Serviced Loan for which the Special
Servicer has resolved the circumstances and/or conditions causing any such
Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan to be a Specially Serviced Loan except
that the requirement of three consecutive full and timely Monthly Payments with
respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan has not yet been
satisfied as of the date of such termination or resignation and such Mortgage
Loan or Serviced Companion Loan otherwise meets the requirements of a Corrected
Loan, with the Workout Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced
Companion Loan payable only after such requirements have been met (including the
requirement that three payments be made) (and any successor Special Servicer
shall not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees), in each case until
the Workout Fee for any such Loan ceases to be payable in accordance with this
Agreement.
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 fees, assumption
application fees and other applicable fees, actually paid by a Mortgagor in
accordance with the related Loan documents, with respect to any transfer of the
Mortgaged Property or 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 over $5,000 received by the Master Servicer with respect to
each assumption, transfer or substitution, 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 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 the Primary Servicer or 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 is required under any provision of this
Agreement to make a Servicing Advance, but does not do 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, give written
notice of such failure, as applicable, to the Master Servicer. If such Servicing
Advance is not made by the Master Servicer within three Business Days after such
notice is given to the Master Servicer, then (subject to Section 3.12(d)) the
Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance.
(b) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee 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
or the Trustee, as appropriate and in accordance with Section 3.03, Section
3.05(a), Section 3.05(e) 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 or the Trustee 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 (or a determination by the
Special Servicer that the Master Servicer 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), 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 shall be entitled to rely,
conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer that a Servicing
Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and the Master Servicer and
the Trustee shall conclusively rely on any non-recoverability determination made
by the Special Servicer; 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 shall
make such Servicing Advance within the time periods required by Section 3.12(a)
unless the Trustee, in good faith, makes a determination that such Servicing
Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. In addition, the Special Servicer
shall provide the Master Servicer or the Trustee with such information in its
possession as the Master Servicer or the Trustee may reasonably request to
enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to determine whether a
requested Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. 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 shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination,
provided that the determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or
Trustee. The applicable Master Servicer or Special Servicer may update or change
its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse the others
determination that an advance is 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 Loan Group 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, 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 to the
Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance or, if such Servicing Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be paid out of the Custodial Account as an
Additional Trust Fund Expense. 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 to the Special Servicer as a Servicing
Advance or, if such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall
be paid out of the Custodial Account as an Additional Trust Fund Expense.
Beginning in 2007, 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 and to the extent permitted under the Loan
documents, 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 and
the terms of the Loan documents, 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 (in either physical or electronic form) 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 (in either physical or
electronic form) 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, in each case upon request; provided
that, with respect to the Loan Groups, the Master Servicer shall forward any of
the foregoing 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 11.08, 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.
(c) Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second
Business Day prior to each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer the following reports
with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans and any REO Properties, providing
the required information as of the end of the preceding calendar month: (i) a
CMSA Property File; (ii) a CMSA Comparative Financial Status Report; and (iii) a
CMSA Special Servicer Loan File. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Master Servicer the following reports with respect to the
Specially Serviced Loans, any REO Properties and, to the extent that the subject
information relates to when they were Specially Serviced Loans, any Corrected
Loans: (i) a CMSA Delinquent Loan Status Report; (ii) a Loan Payoff Notification
Report; (iii) a CMSA Historical Loan Modification and Corrected Mortgage Loan
Report; (iv) a CMSA REO Status Report; and (v) a CMSA Loan Level Reserve/LOC
Report.
(d) Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first
Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall on such
Distribution Date make copies available to the Rating Agencies, the Special
Servicer and, upon request, any Controlling Class Certificateholder: (i) the
most recent CMSA Historical Loan Modification and Corrected Mortgage Loan
Report, CMSA REO Status Report and CMSA Loan Level Reserve/LOC Report received
from the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.13(c); (ii) the most recent CMSA
Property File, CMSA Financial File, CMSA Loan 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); and (iii) a CMSA Servicer Watch List
with information that is current as of the related Determination Date with
respect to the Loans.
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).
(e) The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the
reports set forth in Section 3.13(c) in an electronic format reasonably
acceptable to the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, and the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (and the Trustee shall make available,
upon request, to the Special Servicer and any Controlling Class
Certificateholder or Loan Group Directing Holder) the reports set forth in
Section 3.13(d) in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee. The Master Servicer may, absent manifest error,
conclusively rely on the reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.13(c). The Master Servicer may, absent manifest error, conclusively
rely on the reports to be provided by the applicable Lead Master Servicer
pursuant to the applicable Lead PSA. The Trustee may, absent manifest error,
conclusively rely on the reports to be provided by 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.
Section 3.13A. Delivery of Certain Reports to the Companion Loan
Noteholders.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each promptly
prepare or cause to be prepared and deliver to each Companion Loan Noteholder a
written report (in physical or electronic form), prepared in the manner set
forth in Section 3.13, of each inspection performed by it with respect to the
related Loan Group Mortgaged Properties (other than the Mortgaged Property
securing the Non-Serviced Loan Groups, which are serviced under the applicable
Lead PSA).
The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to each Companion Loan
Noteholder (in either physical or electronic form): (i) copies of operating
statements and rent rolls; (ii) upon request, annual CMSA NOI Adjustment
Worksheets (with annual operating statements as exhibits); and (iii) annual CMSA
Operating Statement Analysis Reports, in each case prepared, received or
obtained by it pursuant to Section 3.13 with respect to the related Loan Group
Mortgaged Properties (other than the Mortgaged Property securing the
Non-Serviced Loan Group, which are serviced under the applicable Lead PSA).
(b) If the Loans forming the Loan Groups constitute Specially
Serviced Loans, or if the Loan Group Mortgaged Properties have become REO
Properties, then each calendar month, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on the second Business Day prior to each Determination Date, the Special
Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer the
following reports with respect to the Loan Groups and/or the Loan Group
Mortgaged Properties, providing the required information as of the end of the
preceding calendar month: (i) a CMSA Property File (or similar report
satisfactory to the Master Servicer); and (ii) a CMSA Comparative Financial
Status Report (or similar report satisfactory to the Master Servicer). If the
Loans forming the Loan Groups constitute Specially Serviced Loans, or if the
Loan Group Mortgaged Properties have become REO Properties, then each calendar
month, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day
prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date in such month, the Special Servicer
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer such of the
following reports as may be relevant with respect to the Loan Groups and/or the
Loan Group Mortgaged Properties: (i) a CMSA Delinquent Loan Status Report; (ii)
a Loan Payoff Notification Report, (iii) a CMSA Historical Loan Modification and
Corrected Mortgage Loan Report; and (iv) a CMSA REO Status Report.
(c) Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Loan Group
Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall, with respect to the Serviced Loan
Groups, prepare all Loan Group Servicing Reports as may be relevant and that are
not otherwise required to be prepared by the Special Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.13A(b). The Master Servicer shall 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.
(d) The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the
reports set forth in Section 3.13A(b) in an electronic format reasonably
acceptable to the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer
may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports to be provided by
the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.13A(b). In the case of information or
reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the applicable Companion Loan
Noteholder pursuant to Section 3.13B(a), to the extent that such information is
based on reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section
3.13A(b) and/or that such reports are to be prepared and delivered by the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.13A(b), 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 3.13B(a) caused by the Special Servicer's
failure to timely provide any report required under Section 3.13A(b) of this
Agreement.
Section 3.13B. Statements to the Companion Loan Noteholders.
(a) On each Loan Group Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall
forward to each Companion Loan Noteholder (other than the holders of the
Non-Serviced Companion Loans with respect to which such holders will receive
similar reports from the applicable Lead Master Servicer under the applicable
Lead PSA) all Loan Group Servicing Reports prepared with respect to the related
Loan Group, pursuant to Section 3.13A, during the calendar month in which such
applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs.
(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
accuracy or completeness of any information provided by a Mortgagor, the
Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller, a third party or each other.
Section 3.14 [Reserved].
Section 3.15 [Reserved].
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 (other than the Controlling Class Directing
Holder), 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 (which request from the Controlling Class Directing
Holder may be a one time standing request), the Master Servicer may provide (or
forward electronically) (at the expense of such Certificateholder or Certificate
Owner other than the Controlling Class Directing Holder) 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.
Section 3.17 Title to REO Property; REO Accounts.
(a) If title to any Mortgaged Property with respect to a Serviced
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 its proportionate interest in 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 of its proportionate interest in 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 to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. In the case of the
Trust's beneficial interest in a Mortgaged Property acquired under the related
Lead PSA, the Special Servicer shall coordinate with the related Lead Special
Servicer with respect to any REO Extension on behalf of the Lower-Tier REMIC. 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 (to the extent commercially reasonable and
consistent with Section 3.18(b)) 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. Neither the Special Servicer nor the
Tax Administrator shall be liable to the Certificateholders, the Trust Fund, the
other parties hereto or each other for errors in judgment made in good faith in
the reasonable exercise of their discretion while performing their duties under
this Section 3.18 except as provided in Section 6.03. 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 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 or Adverse Grantor
Trust 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 Master Servicer
shall make Servicing Advances in such amounts as are necessary for such purposes
unless the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer determines, in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, that such payment would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or 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) Except as provided in Section 3.18(a)(i), 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, or, if such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall
be paid out of the Custodial Account as an Additional Trust Fund Expense) 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 out of related REO Revenues 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 Loan has become a
Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall give notice of such event to
the Trustee, and the Trustee will promptly notify each Holder of a Certificate
of the Controlling Class. 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 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 Loan at a cash price that is at least equal to
the Purchase Price. In addition, if such Specially Serviced 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 trustee under the related pooling and servicing agreement.
(c) If none of the Purchase Option Holders exercises its option to
purchase any Specially Serviced Loan as described in subsection (b) above, then
each Purchase Option Holder (other than an assignee whose purchase of such
Specially Serviced 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 Loan at a price equal to the fair value of such
Specially Serviced Loan (the "FV Price").
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 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.
With respect to each such Specially Serviced 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.
With respect to each of the Non-Serviced Trust Loans, this Section
3.19 shall be applicable subject to the terms of the related Lead PSA and
Co-Lender Agreement, provided that any rights of any Persons to exercise its
option to purchase such Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans shall be calculated 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
sale of a Non-Serviced 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.
(d) In the event that the Special Servicer determines that it is
willing, or another Purchase Option Holder notifies the Special Servicer that it
is willing, to purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (the party
submitting such bid, the "Initial Bidder") at a price equal to or above the FV
Price (a "FV Bid"), the Special Servicer shall notify all other Purchase Option
Holders that it has made or received, as the case may be, such FV Bid (without
disclosing the amount of such FV Bid). All other Purchase Option Holders may
submit competing bids within the ten Business Day period following such notice.
At the conclusion of the above-described ten Business Day period, the Special
Servicer shall accept the highest bid received from any Purchase Option Holder
that is at least equal to the FV Price.
(e) If the Special Servicer accepts the bid of any Purchase Option
Holder, such Purchase Option Holder shall be required to purchase the subject
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan within ten Business Days of receipt of notice
of such acceptance.
(f) If the Special Servicer has not accepted a FV Bid prior to the
expiration of 120 days from the Special Servicer's most recent determination of
the FV Price and thereafter receives a FV Bid or a request from a Purchase
Option Holder for an updated FV Price, the Special Servicer shall within 45 days
recalculate the FV Price (with no presumption that such FV Price should be
reduced on account of the lack of an FV Bid) and repeat the notice and bidding
procedure provided in subsection (c) above until the purchase option terminates
under subsection (j) below. 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 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 Loan to a
third party other than another Purchase Option Holder or any Person whose
purchase of such Specially Serviced 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 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 Loan; the period and amount of any delinquency on
the subject Specially Serviced Loan; the physical condition of the related
Mortgaged Property; the state of the local economy; and the expected recoveries
from the subject Specially Serviced 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 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 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 Loan.
(k) Until such time as an FV Bid is accepted and the related
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is sold in connection therewith, the Special
Servicer shall continue to pursue all of the other resolution options available
to it with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with the
Servicing Standard.
(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the holders of
the related 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 Special Servicer 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 as are required by the related
Co-Lender Agreement in connection with each such holders' purchase rights.
(m) Any purchase of a Specially Serviced 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 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 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 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 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 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 Loan and each and every REO
Mortgage Loan that was previously a Serviced 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.
(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 Loan).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if the Special Servicer has the option 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.
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 and the Trustee 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 and shall be bound by such a
determination (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special
Servicer to reverse any determination that may have been made by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from
making a determination, that any Servicing Advance constitutes or would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance).
Section 3.21 Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents;
Defeasance.
(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) In the case of any Performing Serviced Loan, and subject to the
rights of the Special Servicer set forth below, the Master Servicer shall be
responsible for responding to any request by a Mortgagor for the consent or
approval of the mortgagee with respect to a modification, extension, waiver or
amendment of any term thereof, provided that such consent or approval or such
modification, extension, waiver or amendment would not (except as permitted by
Sections 3.02(a), 3.03(d), 3.07, 3.08(a) and 3.21(f) hereof) affect the amount
or timing of any of the payment terms of such Loan (including payment terms
related to late payment charges but excluding Default Interest and other amounts
constituting servicing compensation), result in the release of the related
Mortgagor from any material term thereunder, waive any rights thereunder with
respect to any guarantor thereof, relate to the release, addition or
substitution of any material collateral for such Loan or relate to any waiver of
or granting of consent under a "due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clause.
With respect to any action proposed to be taken by the Master Servicer under
this Section 3.21(c) where the thresholds in clauses (i) through (v) of the next
sentence are exceeded, or which involves the situations set forth in the proviso
to the previous sentence, the Special Servicer only may take such action. To the
extent consistent with the foregoing, but subject to Section 3.21(f), the Master
Servicer shall also be responsible for the following with respect to the
Performing Serviced Loans:
(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) 20,000 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) relates to a fiscal year in which an
Anticipated Repayment Date occurs, (B) 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 (C) 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 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;
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. 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 an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust. For the
avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any
request for the disbursement of earnouts or holdback amounts with respect to any
Mortgage Loan set forth on Schedule X attached hereto received by the Master
Servicer shall be submitted to the Special Servicer for approval (which approval
shall be deemed given if the request is not denied by the Special Servicer in
writing to the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days of the Special
Servicer's receipt of such request). For purposes of this Agreement,
"disbursements of earnouts or holdback amounts" shall mean the disbursement or
funding to a Mortgagor or previously unfunded, escrowed or otherwise reserved
portions of the loan proceeds of the applicable Mortgage Loan until certain
conditions precedent thereto relating to the satisfaction of performance related
criteria (i.e. project reserve thresholds, lease-up requirements, sales
requirements, etc.) as set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, have
been satisfied.
(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, Yield Maintenance Charge
or exit fee, (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 a rate (a) taking into account 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), in each case and in the case
of the ARD Loan or related REO Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, net of
the related Additional Interest Rate and (b) taking into account the risk of
collection, and (C) such modification, extension, waiver or amendment would not
cause an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of either REMIC Pool or any REMIC
created in connection with Companion Loan Securities or an Adverse Grantor Trust
Event with respect to the Grantor Trust; 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; (iii) extend the maturity date
of the Investcorp Retail Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loan beyond the date
that is five years prior to the rated final payment date assigned by either
Rating Agency to any Companion Loan Securities relating to the Investcorp Retail
Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loan; or (iv) 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 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 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 Rating Agency
Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such action.
Any party hereto seeking Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to
the matters described above shall deliver a Review Package to each 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 Master Servicer, with respect to a Performing 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, in writing, of any
modification, extension, waiver or amendment of any term of any Loan (including
fees charged the Mortgagor) agreed to by the Special Servicer (or agreed to by
the Master Servicer in the case of Performing Serviced Loans) 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 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 Xxxxx'x in the case of any Serviced 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) or (ii) above, such written confirmation shall
not be required from S&P 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; provided, however, that if the related Loan documents do not
require the Mortgagor to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid as an
Additional Trust Fund Expense out of the Custodial Account and the Master
Servicer shall provide notice to, and demand payment for such costs from, the
related Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 5(g) of the related Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, 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.
(l) With respect to the ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment
Date, the Master Servicer shall be permitted, subject to obtaining the Special
Servicer's consent, to waive (such waiver to be in writing addressed to the
related Mortgagor, with a copy to the Trustee) all or any portion of the accrued
Post-ARD Additional Interest on the ARD Loan if (i) the ARD Loan is not a
Specially Serviced Loan (on which the Special Servicer may waive accrued
Post-ARD Additional Interest pursuant to Section 3.21(e)), (ii) prior to the
related maturity date, the related Mortgagor has requested the right to prepay
the ARD Loan in full together with all payments required under the ARD Loan in
connection with such prepayment (except for all or a portion of such accrued
Post-ARD Additional Interest), and (iii) the Master Servicer has determined, in
its reasonable, good faith judgment, that the waiver of the Trust's right to
receive such accrued Post-ARD Additional Interest is reasonably likely to
produce a greater payment to Certificateholders (as a collective whole) (or, if
a Loan Group is involved, to produce a greater payment 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 a Loan Group at the weighted
average of the Mortgage Rates of such Loan Group) in each case, net of the
applicable Additional Interest Rate) than a refusal to waive the right to such
Post-ARD Additional Interest; provided that any such waiver of Post-ARD
Additional Interest accrued on the Loan Groups shall be structured so as to be
consistent with the allocation and payment priorities set forth in the related
Loan documents and the Co-Lender Agreement, such that the Companion Loan
Noteholders shall not gain any priority over the Trust as holder of the Loan
Group Trust Mortgage Loans with respect to the payment of such Post-ARD
Additional Interest. The Master Servicer shall have no liability to the Trust,
the Certificateholders or any other Person so long as such determination is
exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special
Servicer (with the consent of any applicable Controlling Class Directing Holder,
subject to the limitations of Section 6.11(b)) may, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage
Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable
if the Special Servicer determines that the contemplated waiver, modification or
amendment (i) will not be a "significant modification" of the Mortgage Loan
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or (ii) will not
cause (x) either REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (y) either REMIC
Pool to be subject to any tax under the REMIC Provisions of the Code. Such
determination of the Special Servicer shall be based on consultation with
counsel and, if it is determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard by
the Special Servicer to be necessary or prudent, on an opinion of counsel
delivered to the Trustee to that effect (which shall be at the expense of the
related Mortgagor or such other person requesting such modification or, if such
expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other person, to
be paid by the Master Servicer as a servicing expense out of general collections
on the Mortgage Loans).
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 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. Neither the Master Servicer
nor the Special Servicer shall be liable or in default hereunder for any
reasonable act or failure to act because of or arising out of the other party'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 may enter into
Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any
or all of their respective obligations hereunder, provided, however, that
following the Closing Date, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer and the Primary Servicer
may not appoint any sub-servicer that is a Prohibited Party, 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 (including, to the extent applicable, the requirements
of Article XI) 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 Depositor and 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
Depositor, 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 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 either (i) that such agreement shall, with respect to any
Serviced Loan serviced thereunder, terminate at the time such Loan becomes
a Specially Serviced Loan or (ii) 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), 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 the extent required under such Sub-Servicing Agreement,
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 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 Xxx 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. Subject to
Section 11.01, 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.
Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth in this Agreement to
the contrary, (i) the Primary Servicer's rights and obligations under the
Primary Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the Master
Servicer's servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Primary
Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions,
(ii) any successor Master Servicer, including, without limitations, the Trustee
(if it assumes the servicing obligations of the terminated Master Servicer)
shall be deemed to automatically assume and agree to each of the then current
Primary Servicing Agreements without further action upon becoming the successor
Master Servicer and (iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner which
would increase the obligations or limit the rights of the Primary Servicer under
the Primary Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of the
Primary Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
The Sub-Servicers as to which Sub-Servicing Agreements are in effect
or being negotiated as of the Closing Date are listed on Exhibit T 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.
(f) In addition, on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master
Servicer shall pay each Broker the related Broker Strip Fee from the Master
Servicing Fee.

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

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

special servicer, as the case may be, under the separate servicing agreement for
the Loan Groups.
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 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 Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in the preceding twelve
months 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

Date next following the Collection Period during which they were received, for
deposit in the Distribution Account, subject to application pursuant to Section

the interest that accrued first and has been outstanding the longest shall be
paid first. Default Charges applied to pay outstanding expenses pursuant to

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

Expenses, depending on which clause is applicable, shall thereafter be deemed to

longest shall be paid first);
Second, to pay to 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

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

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) or the Trustee 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, subject to the
provisions of the related Co-Lender Agreement, 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).
With respect to the Bass Pro Shops Loan, if the Master Servicer receives a
request for disbursement to the related Mortgagor pursuant to Section 3.1 or
Section 3.2 of the Construction Reserve and Security Agreement, as applicable,
the Master Servicer shall (x) review any and all documents, instruments and
certificates delivered to it pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 of the
Construction Reserve and Security Agreement, as applicable, in connection with
such request and (y) determine whether all conditions precedent for
disbursements set forth in Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 of the Construction
Reserve and Security Agreement, as applicable, have been satisfied. If the
Master Servicer determines that all conditions precedent for disbursements set
forth in Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 of the Construction Reserve and Security
Agreement, as applicable, have been satisfied, the Master Servicer shall make
disbursements to the related Mortgagor as required under the Construction
Reserve and Security Agreement. If the Master Servicer determines that the
related Mortgagor has failed to satisfy any such conditions precedent, the
Master Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor, the Special Servicer, the
Controlling Class Directing Holder and the Depositor of such failure within ten
Business Days (in the case of a request for disbursement pursuant to Section 3.1
of the Construction Reserve and Security Agreement) or ten days (in the case of
a request for disbursement pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Construction Reserve
and Security Agreement), in each case, after its receipt of such request for
disbursement, but no later than five Business days prior to the date of the
requested disbursement. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to so notify
the related Mortgagor, the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Directing
Holder and the Depositor, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have determined
that all conditions precedent for disbursements set forth in Section 3.1 or
Section 3.2 of the Construction Reserve and Security Agreement, as the case may
be, have been satisfied and shall make such disbursements to the related
Mortgagor as required under the Construction Reserve and Security Agreement.
Section 3.29 Litigation Control. The Special Servicer, with respect
to the Specially Serviced Loans, and the Master Servicer, with respect to the
Performing Serviced Loans, and where the applicable servicer contemplates
availing itself of indemnification as provided for under Section 6.03 of this
Agreement, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall, for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, have the right to direct, manage, prosecute, defend
and/or settle any and all claims and litigation relating to (a) the enforcement
of the obligations of a Mortgagor under the related Loan documents and (b) any
action brought against the Trust, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan (the foregoing rights and
obligations, "Litigation Control"). Such Litigation Control shall be carried out
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the Servicing Standard. Upon becoming aware of or being named in any claim or
litigation that falls within the scope of Litigation Control, the Master
Servicer shall immediately notify the Directing Holder of such claim or
litigation. In addition, the Master Servicer shall prepare and submit a monthly
status report regarding any Litigation Control matter to the Directing Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing as applicable, each of the Special
Servicer and the Master Servicer, shall consult with and keep the Directing
Holder advised of any material development, including, without limitation, (i)
any material decision concerning Litigation Control and the implementation
thereof and (ii) any decision to agree to or propose any terms of settlement,
and shall submit any such development or decision to the Controlling Class
Directing Holder for its approval or consent. Subject to the second to last
paragraph of this Section 3.29 the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as
the case may be, shall not take any action implementing any such material
development or decision described in the preceding sentence unless and until it
has notified the Directing Holder in writing and the Directing Holder has not
objected in writing within five (5) Business Days of having been notified
thereof and having been provided with all information that the Directing Holder
has reasonably requested with respect thereto (it being understood and agreed
that if such written objection or request for information has not been received
by the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, within such
5 Business Day period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have
approved the taking of such action); provided, that, in the event that the
Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, determines that
immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders
and, in the case of a Loan Group, the related holder of the Companion Loan, the
Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, may take such
action without waiting for the Directing Holder's response; provided that the
Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, has confirmation
that the Directing Holder received notice of such action in writing.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with
respect to any Litigation Control otherwise required to be exercised hereunder
by the Master Servicer relating to a Mortgage Loan that has either (i) been
satisfied or paid in full, or (ii) as to which a Final Recovery Determination
has been made, after receiving the required notice from the Master Servicer set
forth above acknowledging that it became aware of or was named in the subject
claim or litigation, the Directing Holder may direct in writing that such
Litigation Control nevertheless be exercised by the Special Servicer, provided,
however, that the Special Servicer (with the consent of the Directing Holder)
has determined and advised the Master Servicer that its actions with respect to
such obligations are indemnifiable under Section 6.03 hereof, and accordingly,
any loss, liability or expense (including legal fees and expenses incurred up
until such date of transfer of Litigation Control to the Special Servicer)
arising from the related legal action or claim underlying such Litigation
Control and not otherwise paid to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03
shall be payable by the Trust.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advice, direction or objection
given or made, or consent withheld, by the Directing Holder shall (i) require or
cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, to violate any applicable
law, the terms of any Mortgage Loan or any related intercreditor, co lender or
similar agreement, any provision of this Agreement, including the Special
Servicer's or the Master Servicer's obligation to act in accordance with the
Servicing Standard or the Loan documents for any Mortgage Loan, (ii) result in
an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to either the Upper Tier REMIC or the Lower
Tier REMIC or result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event or have adverse tax
consequences for the Trust Fund, (iii) expose any of the Mortgage Loan Sellers,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Fund, the
Trustee, any holder of a Companion Loan, or any of their respective Affiliates,
officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees or
agents to any claim, suit, or liability for which this Agreement does not
provide indemnification to such party or expose any such party to prosecution
for a criminal offense, or (iv) materially expand the scope of the Special
Servicer's or the Master Servicer's, as applicable, responsibilities under this
Agreement, and neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow
any such advice, direction, or objection if given by the Controlling Class
Representative or initiate any such actions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) in the event that any action,
suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee in its individual capacity, or
in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee in its individual
capacity, the Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, may retain counsel and appear in any such
proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests;
provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall
retain the right to manage and direct any such action, suit, litigation or
proceeding; (b) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding,
other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement
of the obligations of a Mortgagor under the related Loan documents, neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written
consent of the Trustee, (i) initiate any action, suit, litigation or proceeding
in the name of the Trustee, whether in such capacity or individually, (ii)
engage counsel to represent the Trustee, or (iii) prepare, execute or deliver
any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take
any other similar action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the
Trustee to be registered to do business in any state; and (c) in the event that
any court finds that the Trustee is a necessary party in respect of any action,
suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any
Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in
any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its
interest, whether as Trustee or individually; provided that the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall retain the right to manage and
direct any such action, suit, litigation or proceeding.

Prepayment Consideration actually collected on Mortgage Loans or REO Mortgage

Any Net Prepayment Consideration not otherwise distributed in
respect of the Principal Balance Certificates pursuant to the foregoing

Class X Certificates.
(c) All distributions made with respect to each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the
outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage
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.
(d) 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.
(e) 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.
(f) 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(f) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
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(f) 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.
(g) 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.
(h) 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
Interest and the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate. On each Distribution Date,
each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions
in respect of interest in an amount equal to the Distributable Certificate
Interest for such Distribution Date (and, to the extent not previously paid, for
all prior Distribution Dates, if any) in respect of its Corresponding
Certificate, in each case allocable among the Corresponding Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interests, pro rata (except as set forth below), and the portion of
the Distributable Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date (and, to the
extent not previously paid, for all prior Distribution Dates, if any) of the
Class X Certificates that is attributable to such Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interest, in each case to the extent actually distributable thereon as provided
in Section 4.01(a).
All distributions made in respect of any Class of Principal Balance
Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section
9.01 shall be deemed to have first been distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to
the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of its Corresponding Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interest set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto.
All distributions made in respect of the Class X Certificates on
each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section 9.01 shall be
deemed to have first been distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the
Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests, pro
rata, based on the interest accrued on such Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest
at the excess of the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate over the Pass-Through
Rate for the Corresponding Certificates. All distributions of reimbursements of
Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses made in respect of any Class
of Principal Balance Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section
4.01(a) shall be deemed to have first been distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC
to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of its Corresponding Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interests set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto; provided,
however, that distributions of reimbursements of Realized Losses and Additional
Trust Fund Expenses shall be made in reverse sequential order of the priority
set forth in this Section 4.01(h) for principal distributions, up to the amount
of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously allocated to a
particular Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests.
(i) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account an aggregate amount equal to all Net Prepayment
Consideration actually collected on the Mortgage Loans or any REO Mortgage Loans
during the related Collection Period and shall distribute such amount in respect
of the Class LA-1 Interest by depositing such amount in the Upper-Tier
Distribution Account (notwithstanding that all principal and interest
distributable with respect to the Class LA-1 Interest has been paid in full).
(j) Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account
on each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution
Amount and any Net Prepayment Consideration, shall be distributed to the Holders
of the Class R-I Certificates.
(k) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the
Class V Sub-Account any amounts that represent Post-ARD Additional Interest

Regulation AB that can, in the Trustee's reasonable judgment, be included
on the Distribution Date Statement without undue difficulty.
In the case of information to be furnished pursuant to clauses (i)
through (iv) above, the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount in the
aggregate for all Certificates of each applicable Class and per Single

(xxii), (xxvi), (xxvii), (xxviii), (xxxi) and (xxxii) above, insofar as the
underlying information is solely within the control of the Special Servicer or
the Master Servicer, the Trustee may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely
on the reports to be provided by the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer.
The Trustee shall forward electronically a copy of each Distribution
Date Statement to the Depository. The Trustee shall make available each month,
to Certificateholders, Certificate Owners, the Underwriters, the Rating
Agencies, the Controlling Class Directing Holder, any party hereto or any Person
identified by any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner as a prospective
transferee, via the Trustee's internet website, all Certificateholder Reports
and any additional files containing substantially similar information in an
alternative format and, with the consent or at the direction of the Depositor,
such other information regarding the Certificates and/or the Mortgage Loans as
the Trustee may have in its possession. The Trustee will make no representations
or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of such documents and will
assume no responsibility therefor.
The Trustee's internet website shall initially be located at
"xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx" or at such other address as shall be specified by the Trustee
from time to time in the Distribution Date Statement and in one or more written
notices delivered to the other parties hereto, the Controlling Class Directing
Holder (if any), the Certificateholders and the Rating Agencies. In connection
with providing access to the Trustee's internet website, the Trustee may require
the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement.
The Master Servicer may, but is not required to, make available each
month, to Certificateholders, Certificate Owners (that have been confirmed as
such by the Trustee), the Controlling Class Directing Holder, the Underwriters,
the Rating Agencies or any party hereto, the Certificateholder Reports in its
possession, on its internet website. The Master Servicer will make no
representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of any report
not prepared by it and will assume no responsibility for any information for
which it is not the original source.
The Master Servicer's internet website shall initially be located at
"xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx" or at such other address as shall be specified by the Master
Servicer from time to time in one or more written notices delivered to the other
parties hereto, the Controlling Class Directing Holder (if any), the
Certificateholders and the Rating Agencies. In connection with providing access
to the Master Servicer's internet website, the Master Servicer may require,
without limitation, the acceptance of a disclaimer, registration and a
confidentiality agreement. The Master Servicer shall not be liable for the
dissemination of information to Certificateholders and Certificate Owners in
accordance with this Agreement.
Absent manifest error of which it has actual knowledge, none of the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be responsible for
the accuracy or completeness of any information supplied to it by a Mortgagor,
the Depositor (including information in the Prospectus Supplement), any Mortgage
Loan Seller or third party that is included in any reports, statements,
materials or information prepared or provided by the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement. None
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
a Mortgagor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, a third party or each other.
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year the Trustee shall send to each Person who at any time during the calendar
year was a Certificateholder of record, a report summarizing on an annual basis
(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,
on each Distribution Date, to (i) the Xxxxx Group (at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx
Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 or such other address as the Xxxxx Group may
designate), (ii) Intex Solutions, Inc. (at 00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, or such other address as Intex Solutions, Inc. may
hereafter designate), and (iii) any other similar third party information
provider, a copy of the reports made available to the Holders of the
Certificates on such Distribution Date as described above.
Upon written request of the Depositor or any Underwriter, without
payment of any fee, and upon written request of any Certificateholders or any
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, the Trustee shall make available on such
Distribution Date 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 (including, without
limitation, the Available Distribution Amount, the Sub-Pool 1 Available
Distribution Amount and the Sub-Pool 2 Available Distribution Amount) 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 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. (913)
253-9001 (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee in writing) and by telephone at telephone no. (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. 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 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.
(b) The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, 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 (except with respect to any Serviced
Companion Loan), 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 or the Trustee. The determination by the Master
Servicer or the 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 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 any 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 Special Servicer's possession, as applicable), 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 cost of an appraisal shall be paid by the Trust as
an Additional Trust Fund Expense. The Trustee 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, and
the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall conclusively rely on any
non-recoverability determination made by the Special Servicer (but this
statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any
other authorized Person's determination, or to prohibit any such other
authorized Person from making a determination, that a P&I Advance constitutes or
would constitute a Nonrecoverable 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 that such P&I Advance would be
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, the Trustee shall make such Advance within the time
periods required by Section 4.03(a) unless the Trustee, 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. In
addition, the Master 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 and the Trustee 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.
(a) With respect to the P&I Advances and the 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.
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 in respect of the Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans, 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 any Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan shall be made no later than 2:00
p.m., New York City time, on each Master Servicer 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 (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. (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 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 or any
successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto on the preceding Master
Servicer Remittance Date.
(b) The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, 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 (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, 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 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)
net of the portion of the applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to
such Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan(s), and the denominator of which is equal to
the Stated Principal Balance of such Loan Group Trust Mortgage 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, until
its balance is reduced to zero and then, to the related Loan Group Trust
Mortgage Loan and with respect to any other Loan Group including Pari Passu
Companion Loans, 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 and the Trustee 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 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 or the Trustee. The determination by the Master Servicer or
the 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, 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 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, any
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, as applicable), engineers' reports, environmental surveys and any
similar reports that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may have
obtained consistent with the Servicing Standard and that support such
determination by the Master Servicer or the 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 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, and the Master Servicer and the
Trustee shall conclusively rely on any non-recoverability determination made by
the Special Servicer (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the
Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person's determination, or to
prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a
P&I Advance constitutes or would constitute 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 that such P&I
Advance would be Nonrecoverable Advance or the Trustee shall make such Advance
within the time periods required by Section 4.03A(a) unless the Trustee, 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. In addition, the Master 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 and the Trustee 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 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 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 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.
(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 with
respect to the Non-Serviced Trust Loan would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance,
then none of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall make any additional 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 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.
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 S&P's Select Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Master
Servicer, then such party shall promptly notify the other, the Special Servicer
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 S&P's Select Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Master
Servicer, 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 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 S, Class Q, 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, Class B, Class A-J and Class A-M 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. 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, the Uncertificated Principal Balance 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 Principal Balance of the Class
of Corresponding Certificates that will be outstanding immediately following
such Distribution Date.
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. 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, 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 Uncertificated Principal Balance of such Class' Corresponding
Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to have first been increased by the
exact same amount. The amount of each such increase in the Uncertificated
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 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, X-0, A-8 and A-9
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 V, 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 X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-AB, Class A-4, Class A-1-A,
Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F
Certificates, $1,000,000 in the case of the Class X 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, Class R-II
and Class V 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: Global Securities and
Trust Services--Greenwich Capital Commercial Funding Corp., Commercial Mortgage
Trust Series 2006-GG7. 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 V, 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 V, 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
or the Trustee 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
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, Class R-II or Class V
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, Class R-II or Class V 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 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 V, 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 V, 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 V, 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; provided, further, that for so long as
the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the
Depositor shall have consented thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), unless (x) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, is the surviving Person of such merger, consolidation or transfer,
(y) its personnel, as substantially constituted prior to such merger,
consolidation or transfer, continues to be responsible for its obligations
hereunder and (z) the Surviving Person has been and continues to be in
compliance with its obligations hereunder.
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
and such indemnity shall be deemed to not be "solely attributable" to a
Companion Loan merely by virtue of an action being brought by or against the
related Companion Loan Noteholder.
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 and Special Servicer have 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. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, the outgoing Special Servicer shall be entitled to 100% of
any Liquidation Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which a Liquidation
Event has occurred prior to the effective date of transfer to the successor
Special Servicer.
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

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 (except in the case of the Investcorp Retail
Portfolio Loan Group, the JQH Hotel Portfolio B2 Loan Group, the Nemours
Building Loan Group and the Lackland Self Storage Loan Group) may (subject to
the terms of any related Co-Lender Agreement) at any time and from time to time,
without cause, terminate the existing Special Servicer and designate a
replacement Special Servicer hereunder. In addition, with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, the Directing Holder (subject to the terms of any related
Co-Lender Agreement) 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. 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. With respect to the Investcorp
Retail Portfolio Loan Group, either the Directing Holder or the holder of the
related Pari Passu Companion Loan may terminate the Special Servicer, but only
for cause. With respect to the Nemours Building Loan Group and the Lackland Self
Storage Loan Group, only the Controlling Class Directing Holder may terminate
the Special Servicer.
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 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, it shall be
entitled to a portion of certain Workout Fees thereafter payable with respect to
the Corrected Loans (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 or other enforcement action under the Loan documents;
(ii) any modification, extension, amendment or waiver of a monetary
term (including the timing of payments) or any material non-monetary term
of a Mortgage Loan (including any material term relating to insurance or
any prohibition on additional debt other than a determination to allow a
Mortgagor to maintain insurance with a Qualified Insurer rated at least
"A" from S&P and "A2" from Xxxxx'x despite a higher standard in the
related Loan documents);
(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 or any guarantor under a Mortgage Loan (other than in accordance
with the terms of such Loan (with no material discretion by the
mortgagee), or upon satisfaction of, such Loan) (for the avoidance of
doubt it is understood that the release of any reserve for the Mortgage
Loans listed on Schedule X shall require the consent of the Controlling
Class Directing Holder);
(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 Mortgaged
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) taking any action to enforce rights with respect to a
mezzanine lender under the related Co-Lender Agreement;
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.
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.
The Special Servicer shall notify the applicable Directing Holder of
any release or substitution of collateral for a Specially Serviced 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 related Subordinate
Companion Loan Noteholder, so long as no Control Appraisal Event has occurred or
is continuing, will have the right to consult with the Special Servicer on a
non-binding basis with respect to certain actions set forth in the related
Co-Lender Agreement.
With respect to the Investcorp Retail Portfolio Loan Group, the
holder of the Investcorp Retail Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loan will have
the right to consult with the Special Servicer on a non-binding basis with
respect to certain actions 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 other provision of this Agreement, 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. Furthermore, the Special
Servicer shall not be obligated to seek approval from the Directing Holder for
any actions to be taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any particular
Specially Serviced Loan if:
(i) the Special Servicer has, as provided in Section 6.11(a),
notified the applicable Directing Holder in writing of various actions
that the Special Servicer proposes to take with respect to the workout or
liquidation of that Specially Serviced Loan; and
(ii) for 60 days following the first such notice, such Directing
Holder has objected to all of those proposed actions and has failed to
suggest any alternative actions that the Special Servicer considers to be
consistent with the Servicing Standard.
(c) The Directing Holder will have no liability to the
Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Controlling Class) or the
Companion Loan Noteholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the
taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the
Directing Holder will not be protected against any liability to the Holders of
the Controlling Class which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason
of negligent disregard of obligations or duties. 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 not be deemed
to have been negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in
willful misconduct, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the
Holders of the Controlling Class; 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.
(d) The applicable Companion Loan Noteholders 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 3 Loan Group, so long as no Control
Appraisal Event has occurred with respect to the related Loan, consulting,
on a non-binding basis, with each Companion Loan Noteholder; and
(ii) in the case of the Investcorp Retail Portfolio Loan Group,
consulting, on a non-binding basis, with each holder of the Investcorp
Retail Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loan.
In connection with the consultation rights set forth in this 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 consultation period
set forth above expires, then, in such case, the Special
Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, may take
such action prior to the expiration of such consultation
period.
ARTICLE VII

(a) "Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit into a Custodial

terminates, if such premiums are not paid, whichever date is earlier)
after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same
to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, by any other party hereto or to the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (with a copy
to each other party hereto), by any Companion Loan Noteholder (if affected
thereby) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the
Voting Rights, provided, however, that with respect to any such failure
which is not curable within such 30-day period, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have an additional cure period
of 30 days to effect such cure so long as the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, has commenced to cure such failure
within the initial 30-day period and has provided the Trustee and, if
affected thereby, any Companion Loan Noteholder with an Officer's
Certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is diligently
continuing to pursue, a full cure; or
(vi) any breach on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained in this
Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of any Class
of Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Noteholders and which breach
continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which
written notice of such breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall
have been given to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, by any other party hereto or to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be (with a copy to each other party
hereto), by the Companion Loan Noteholders (if affected thereby) or the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights,
provided, however, that with respect to any such breach which is not
curable within such 30-day period, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, shall have an additional cure period of 30
days so long as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, has commenced to cure such breach within the initial 30-day period
and 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
law for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or
similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and such decree or order shall
have remained in force undischarged, undismissed or unstayed for a period
of 60 days; or
(viii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall consent to
the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar
official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling
of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or
of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(ix) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file
a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations, or take any
corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing; or
(x) one or more ratings assigned by Xxxxx'x to the Certificates has
been qualified, downgraded or withdrawn, or otherwise made the subject of
a "negative" credit watch (and such "watch status" placement shall not
have been withdrawn within 60 days of the date such servicing officer
obtained actual knowledge), which Xxxxx'x has determined and given notice
in writing (including through a publication or newsletter) or
electronically (including through an internet website), is solely or in
material part a result of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the
case may be, acting in such capacity; or
(xi) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is removed from
S&P's Select Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Master Servicer
or U.S. Commercial Mortgage Special Servicer, as the case may be, and is
not restored to such status on such list within 60 days;
(xii) with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan (1) the Master
Servicer has been removed from S&P's Select Servicer List as a U.S.
Commercial Mortgage Master Servicer and any of the ratings assigned to any
Companion Loan Securities have been qualified, downgraded or withdrawn in
connection with such removal and the Master Servicer is not reinstated on
such list within 60 days; or (2) a servicing officer of the Master
Servicer obtains actual knowledge that the continuation of the Master
Servicer in such capacity for such Serviced Companion Loan would result in
the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by
Xxxxx'x to any Companion Loan Securities and such notice is not withdrawn
within 60 days; or
(xiii) the Master Servicer, or any primary servicer or Sub-Servicer
appointed by the Master Servicer after the Closing Date (but excluding any
Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit T or appointed pursuant to this Article
VII), shall fail to deliver during any period in which the Trust is
subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act the items
required to be delivered by this Agreement to enable the Trustee or
Depositor to comply with the Trust's reporting obligations under the
Exchange Act within the applicable grace period set forth in Article XI.
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), (xi),
(xii) and (xiii) 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 and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of
such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to
it under this Agreement, the right to the benefits of Section 6.03
notwithstanding any such termination, and with respect to the initial Master
Servicer (or its third party assignee), the right to receive the Excess
Servicing Strip, and with respect to the Special Servicer, the continuing right
to receive any Workout Fee subsequent to its termination as Special Servicer,
pursuant to Section 3.12(b) and any successor Special Servicer shall not be
entitled to such Workout Fee received by the terminated Special Servicer).
If any Event of Default described in clause (x) 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) or (xi) 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, in each case, subject to the rights of the
holder of Excess Servicing Strip and the rights of the Brokers to receive the
Broker Strip Fees with respect to the Broker Strip Loans and subject to Section
3.11(a): (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) Other than with respect to any Loan which is serviced by the
Primary Servicer (unless the Primary Servicer is in default under the related
Primary Servicing Agreement and such default results in the ability to terminate
the Primary Servicer under the provisions of the Primary Servicing Agreement)
and notwithstanding Section 7.01(b), if any Event of Default on the part of the
Master Servicer occurs that affects a Companion Loan Noteholder 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, the Master Servicer may not be terminated in
accordance with Section 7.01(b), but, at the direction of the related Companion
Loan Noteholder, 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 satisfy all of the requirements set forth in
Section 3.23(a). Further, such 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 (i) such Sub-Servicing Agreement
may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (ii) 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(a) and 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), 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 desire to waive an Event of Default by the Master
Servicer, but either a Companion Loan Noteholder (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, will be entitled to request that the Master Servicer appoint, within
60 days of the Companion Loan Noteholder'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 request, the
then-current Sub-Servicer (other than with respect to any Loan which is serviced
by the Primary Servicer (unless the Primary Servicer is in default under the
related Primary Servicing Agreement and such default results in the ability to
terminate the Primary Servicer under the provisions of the Primary Servicing
Agreement)) 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 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 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 (i) such Sub-Servicing Agreement may be terminated without cause
and without the payment of any fee and (ii) 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 (i) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any
fee and (ii) 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
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, 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,
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, 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 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 in Article II and Section 8.16 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, and the Trustee shall not assume any responsibility for their
correctness. Except as expressly set forth in Section 8.16, the Trustee makes 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 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 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 May Own Certificates.
The Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, 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 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 (whether individually or in its capacity as 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 and "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)
(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, 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 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).
(e) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
(f) Following the Closing Date, for so long as the Trust is subject

withheld.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee.
(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer and to the predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the
like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee
shall deliver to the successor trustee (at the expense of the Certificateholders
that effected the removal, if the Trustee has been removed in accordance with
Section 8.07(c) without cause or if such expenses are not paid by such
Certificateholders within ninety (90) days after they are incurred, at the
expense of the Trust, provided that such Certificateholders shall remain liable
to the Trust for such expenses) all Mortgage Files and related documents and
statements held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held
on its behalf by a third-party Custodian, which Custodian shall become the agent
of the successor trustee), and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and
certainly vest and confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers,
duties and obligations, and to enable the successor trustee to perform its
obligations hereunder.
(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section 8.08, unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section 8.08, such successor trustee shall mail notice of the
succession of such trustee hereunder to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Noteholders.
(d) Any and all costs and expenses associated with transferring the
duties of a Trustee that has resigned or been removed or terminated, as
contemplated by Section 8.07, to a successor Trustee, including those associated
with transfer of the Mortgage Files and other documents and statements held by
the predecessor Trustee to the successor Trustee, as contemplated by Section
8.07(a), shall be paid by: (i) the predecessor Trustee, if such predecessor
Trustee has resigned in accordance with Section 8.07(a) or has been removed in
accordance with Sections 8.07(b); (ii) the Certificateholders that effected the
removal, if the predecessor Trustee has been removed without cause in accordance
with Section 8.07(c); and (iii) the Trust, if such costs and expenses are not
paid by the predecessor Trustee or the subject Certificateholders, as
contemplated by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), within 90 days
after they are incurred (provided that such predecessor Trustee or such subject
Certificateholders, as applicable, shall remain liable to the Trust for such
costs and expenses).
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted, or
with which the Trustee may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be
the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided (i) such entity shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 or Section 8.17, as applicable,
and (ii) for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of
the Exchange Act, shall have been consented to by the Depositor (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld) without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located,
the Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments
to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or
co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees,
of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in
such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject
to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary
or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06
hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of
co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08
hereof.
(b) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and
obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction
in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee
hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act
or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including
the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or
co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall
be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute
the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to
the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of
this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of
its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts vested therein pursuant to
the applicable instrument of appointment and this Section 8.10, shall vest in
and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
(e) The appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Section 8.10 shall not relieve the Trustee of its duties and responsibilities
hereunder.
Section 8.11 Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may appoint at the Trustee's expense one or more
Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the
Trustee. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution supervised and
regulated by a federal or state banking authority, shall have combined capital
and surplus of at least $10,000,000, shall be qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File and shall not be the Depositor,
a Mortgage Loan Seller or any Affiliate of any of them. Neither the Master
Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any duty to verify that any such
Custodian is qualified to act as such in accordance with the preceding sentence.
The Trustee may enter into agreements to appoint a Custodian which is not the
Trustee, provided that such agreement: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in
all material respects and requires the Custodian to comply with all of the
applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Trustee shall
for any reason no longer act in the capacity of Trustee hereunder, the successor
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
Custodian under such agreement or, alternatively, may terminate such agreement
without cause and without payment of any penalty or termination fee; and (iii)
does not permit the Custodian any rights of indemnification that may be
satisfied out of assets of the Trust Fund. The appointment of one or more
Custodians shall not relieve the Trustee from any of its obligations hereunder,
and the Trustee shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of any
Custodian. In the absence of any other Person appointed in accordance herewith
acting as Custodian, the Trustee agrees to act in such capacity in accordance
with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the
Trustee is no longer the Custodian, any provision or requirement herein
requiring notice or any information or documentation to be provided to the
Custodian shall be construed to require that such notice, information or
documents also be provided to the Trustee. Any Custodian hereunder shall at all
times maintain a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy in amounts
customary for custodians performing duties similar to those set forth in this
Agreement and, in any event, satisfying the same requirements (including as to
the insurer) as are applicable to any such bond or policy required to be
maintained by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07.
Section 8.12 Appointment of Authenticating Agents.
(a) The Trustee may appoint at the Trustee's expense an
Authenticating Agent, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee
in authenticating Certificates. The Trustee shall cause any such Authenticating
Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Authenticating Agent shall agree to act in such capacity, with the obligations
and responsibilities herein. Each Authenticating Agent must be organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State,
authorized under such laws to carry on a trust business, have a combined capital
and surplus of at least $15,000,000, and be subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
subject to the same obligations, standard of care, protection and indemnities as
would be imposed on, or would protect, the Trustee hereunder. The appointment of
an Authenticating Agent shall not relieve the Trustee from any of its
obligations hereunder, and the Trustee shall remain responsible for all acts and
omissions of the Authenticating Agent. In the absence of any other Person
appointed in accordance herewith acting as Authenticating Agent, the Trustee
hereby agrees to act in such capacity in accordance with the terms hereof.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Trustee is no longer the
Authenticating Agent, any provision or requirement herein requiring notice or
any information or documentation to be provided to the Authenticating Agent
shall be construed to require that such notice, information or documentation
also be provided to the Trustee.
(b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion, or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be
a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.
(c) Any Authenticating Agent appointed in accordance with this
Section 8.12 may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days' advance written
notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
and the Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent appointed in accordance with this Section 8.12 by giving
written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, the Master Servicer
and the Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of such a resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.12, the Trustee may
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, in which case the Trustee shall give
written notice of such appointment to the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Registrar and the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all
Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no successor Authenticating
Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section
8.12. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment
hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Authenticating Agent.
Section 8.13 Appointment of Tax Administrators.
(a) The Trustee may appoint at the Trustee's expense any Person with
appropriate tax-related experience to act as Tax Administrator hereunder;
provided that, in the absence of any other Person appointed in accordance
herewith acting as Tax Administrator, the Trustee agrees to act in such capacity
in accordance with the terms hereof. The appointment of a Tax Administrator
shall not relieve the Trustee from any of its obligations hereunder, and the
Trustee shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of the Tax
Administrator. The Trustee shall cause any such Tax Administrator appointed by
it to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Tax
Administrator shall agree to act in such capacity, with the obligations and
responsibilities herein.
(b) Any Person into which any Tax Administrator may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion, or consolidation to which any Tax Administrator shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Tax
Administrator, shall continue to be the Tax Administrator without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Tax
Administrator.
(c) Any Tax Administrator appointed in accordance with this Section
8.13 may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days' advance written notice
of resignation to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Tax
Administrator appointed in accordance with this Section 8.13 by giving written
notice of termination to such Tax Administrator, the Master Servicer, and the
Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of such a resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time any Tax Administrator shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.13, the Trustee may
appoint a successor Tax Administrator, in which case the Trustee shall give
written notice of such appointment to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
and the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates; provided, however, that no successor Tax Administrator shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.13. Any
successor Tax Administrator upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Tax
Administrator.
Section 8.14 Access to Certain Information.
(a) The Trustee shall afford to the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer and the Depositor, and to the OTS, the FDIC and any other banking or

materially and adversely either the ability of the Trustee to perform its

governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and
performance by the Trustee of or compliance by the Trustee with this

PSA) remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC at a price equal to (1) the sum (x) of
the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans and (y) the aggregate

(2) if the purchaser is the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the
aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances made by such Person, together with any
interest accrued and payable to such Person in respect of unreimbursed Advances
in accordance with Section 3.12(b) and, in the case of the Master Servicer,
Section 4.03(d) or Section 4.03A(d), and any unpaid servicing compensation
remaining outstanding (which items shall be deemed to have been paid or
reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
in connection with such purchase), and (B) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or
REO Property (or beneficial interest in an "REO Property" under an applicable
Lead PSA) remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC; and (ii) to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the members, managers, officers, directors,
employees and/or agents of each of them of all amounts which may have become due

the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the
death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date
hereof.
Each of any Controlling Class Certificateholder (with priority among

Percentage Interest in the Controlling Class), the Special Servicer or the
Master Servicer, in that order of priority, may at its option elect to purchase
all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or beneficial interest in an
"REO Property" under an applicable Lead PSA) remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC
as contemplated by clause (i) of the preceding paragraph by giving written
notice to the other parties hereto no later than 60 days prior to the

related Loan Group Custodial Account); and (y) an Opinion of Counsel, at the
expense of the party effecting the purchase, stating that the termination of the
Trust satisfies the requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F
of the Code and any regulations thereunder. In addition, the Master Servicer
shall transfer to the Distribution Account all amounts required to be
transferred thereto on such Loan Group Remittance Date from the Pool Custodial
Account or from the applicable Loan Group Custodial Account pursuant to the
first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit
in the Pool Custodial Account or the applicable Loan Group Custodial Account
that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon confirmation that
such final deposits have been made, subject to Section 3.26, the Trustee shall
release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the purchasing Controlling Class Certificateholder or the Depositor, as

Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other
instruments furnished to it by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
purchasing Controlling Class Certificateholder or the Depositor, as applicable,
as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the purchasing
Controlling Class Certificateholder or the Depositor (or their respective
designees), as applicable. Any transfer of Mortgage Loans, except in the case of
the Serviced Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loans, pursuant to this paragraph shall
be on a servicing-released basis; and, if any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant
to this Section 9.01 is a Serviced Loan Group Trust Mortgage Loan, the release,
endorsement or assignment of the documents constituting the related Mortgage
File and Servicing File shall be in the manner contemplated by Section 3.26
hereof.
Following the date on which the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the Registered Certificates is reduced to zero and the then
outstanding Certificates (excluding the Class V Certificates and Residual
Interest Certificates) are held by a single Certificateholder, such sole
remaining Certificateholder (the "Sole Certificateholder") shall have the right
to exchange all of its Certificates for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property (or beneficial interest in an "REO Property" under an applicable Lead
PSA) remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii)(B) of the first
paragraph of this Section 9.01(a), by giving written notice to all the parties
hereto and the Companion Loan Noteholders no later than 60 days prior to the
anticipated date of exchange; provided that no such exchange may occur if any of
the remaining REO Properties (or beneficial interest in an "REO Property" under
an applicable Lead PSA) relates to a Loan Group. Such Sole Certificateholder,
not later than the fifth Business Day preceding the Distribution Date on which
the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall (i) deposit in the
applicable Custodial Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to
all amounts then due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servi
