Special Servicing Procedures In addition to the duties applicable to the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, the following procedures shall be applicable and followed by the Special Servicer and the Sponsor prior to the Special Servicing Crossover Date:
(a) Upon the occurrence of Asset Resolution with respect to any issue of Specially Serviced Bonds that relate to a Stabilized Mortgaged Property and involve a Foreclosure of the related Bond Mortgage and a shortfall of amounts available from such action to redeem in full the outstanding principal of the related outstanding Bonds, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice of such action and the amount of such principal shortfall to Freddie Mac. In accordance with its Credit Enhancement, Freddie Mac shall, contemporaneously with the application of the proceeds of the Asset Resolution to pay the redemption price of the related outstanding Bonds in part to the extent of such proceeds, declare a Release Event with respect to such Bonds in the amount of the aforementioned principal shortfall and shall fund the amount of the applicable Release Purchase Price pursuant to its Credit Enhancement, which amount shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Series Certificate Agreement to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class B Certificates (or to the extent there are no Class B Certificates above the amount of the Minimum Sponsor Interest left to redeem in the related Series Pool, to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class A Certificates). Such amount paid with respect to such Class B Certificates shall be used to reimburse Freddie Mac for the amount of the corresponding Credit Advance under its Credit Enhancement. Any Credit Advance arising from such a pay down of Class A Certificates shall be payable from the sources described in Section 4.03(b) of each Series Certificate Agreement and the cash flow from the Pledged Security Collateral. The Bonds purchased in connection with such Release Event shall be subsequently cancelled upon withdrawal from the related Series Certificate Agreement.

Following receipt of such written notice, Freddie Mac shall declare a Release Event with respect to such Bonds in the amount of the aforementioned principal shortfall and the Release Purchase Price so payable shall be funded on behalf of the Sponsor from amounts available under the Stabilization Guaranty, Escrow and Security Agreement, and applied in accordance with the related Series Certificate Agreement as a Sponsor-funded Release Event to pay down the related Class A Certificates in a corresponding amount; provided, however, if monies are not available under the Stabilization Guaranty, Escrow and Security Agreement, Freddie Mac shall fund the amount of the applicable Release Purchase Price pursuant to its Credit Enhancement, which amount shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Series Certificate Agreement to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class B Certificates (or to the extent there are no Class B Certificates above the amount of the Minimum Sponsor Interest left to redeem in the related Series Pool, to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class A Certificates). Any such amount paid with respect to such Class B Certificates shall be used to reimburse Freddie Mac for the amount of the corresponding Credit Advance under its Credit Enhancement. Any Credit Advance arising from such a pay down of Class A Certificates shall be payable from the sources described in Section 4.03(b) of each Series Certificate Agreement and the cash flow from the Pledge Security Collateral. The Bonds purchased in connection with such Release Event shall be subsequently cancelled upon withdrawal from the related Series Certificate Agreement.
(c) Upon the occurrence of Asset Resolution with respect to any issue of Specially Serviced Bonds that relate to a Stabilized Mortgaged Property and which Asset Resolution involves the execution of a work-out agreement pursuant to which the related Bond Mortgage Loan and Bonds are modified to write-down the outstanding principal thereof, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice to Freddie Mac of such action. In accordance with its Credit Enhancement, Freddie Mac shall, contemporaneously with the execution of such work-out agreement to effect such principal write-down, declare a Release Event with respect to such Bonds in the amount of the aforementioned principal write-down and shall fund the amount of the applicable Release Purchase Price pursuant to its Credit Enhancement, which amount shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Series Certificate Agreement to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class B Certificates (or to the extent there are no Class B Certificates above the amount of the Minimum Sponsor Interest left to redeem in the related Series Pool, to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class A Certificates). Such amount with respect to such Class B Certificates shall be used to reimburse Freddie Mac for the amount of the corresponding Credit Advance under its Credit Enhancement. Any Credit Advance arising from such a pay down of Class A Certificates shall be payable from the sources described in Section 4.03(b) of each Series Certificate Agreement and the cash flow from the Pledge Security Collateral. The Bonds purchased in connection with such Release Event shall be subsequently cancelled upon withdrawal from the related Series Certificate Agreement.
(d) Upon the occurrence of Asset Resolution with respect to any issue of Specially Serviced Bonds that relate to a Non-Stabilized Mortgaged Property and involve the execution of a work-out agreement pursuant to which the related Bond Mortgage Loan and Bonds are modified to write-down the outstanding principal thereof in an amount necessary in order to achieve Stabilization, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice to Freddie Mac and the Sponsor of such action. Following receipt of such written notice, Freddie Mac shall declare a Release Event with respect to such Bonds in such amount necessary in order for such Mortgaged Property to achieve Stabilization and the Release Purchase Price so payable shall be funded on behalf of the Sponsor from amounts available under the Stabilization Guaranty, Escrow and Security Agreement and applied in accordance with the related Series Certificate Agreement as a Sponsor-funded Release Event to pay down the related Class A Certificates in a corresponding amount; provided, however, if monies are not available under the Stabilization Guaranty, Escrow and Security Agreement, Freddie Mac shall fund the amount of the applicable Release Purchase Price pursuant to its Credit Enhancement, which amount shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Series Certificate Agreement to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class B Certificates (or to the extent there are no Class B Certificates above the amount of the Minimum Sponsor Interest left to redeem in the related Series Pool, to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class A Certificates). Any such amount paid with respect to such Class B Certificates shall be used to reimburse Freddie Mac for the amount of the corresponding Credit Advance under its Credit Enhancement. Any Credit Advance arising from such a pay down of Class A Certificates shall be payable from the sources described in Section 4.03(b) of each Series Certificate Agreement and the cash flow from the Pledge Security Collateral.

Freddie Mac shall declare a Sponsor-funded Release Event with respect to a portion of such Bonds in the amount of the sale proceeds of such Bonds and a Freddie Mac-funded Release Event with respect to a portion of such Bonds in the amount of the aforementioned shortfall.

Such amount paid with respect to such Class B Certificates shall be used to reimburse Freddie Mac for the amount of the corresponding Credit Advance under its Credit Enhancement. Any Credit Advance arising from such a pay down of Class A Certificates shall be payable from the sources described in Section 4.03(b) of each Series Certificate Agreement and the cash flow from the Pledged Security Collateral. The Bonds purchased in connection with such Release Event shall be subsequently withdrawn from the related Series Certificate Agreement and delivered to the Special Servicer to effect the sale of such Bonds.

Following receipt of such written notice, Freddie Mac shall declare a Sponsor-funded Release Event with respect to a portion of such Bonds in the amount of the sale proceeds of such Bonds and a Sponsor-funded Release Event with respect to such Bonds in the amount of the aforementioned shortfall. The proceeds from the sale of such Bonds shall fund the applicable Release Purchase Price and be applied to pay down Class A Certificates in accordance with the related Series Certificate Agreement. The Release Purchase Price with respect to such shortfall shall be funded on behalf of the Sponsor from amounts available under the Stabilization Guaranty, Escrow and Security Agreement, and applied in accordance with the related Series Certificate Agreement as a Sponsor-funded Release Event also to pay down the related Class A Certificates in a corresponding amount; provided, however, if monies are not available under the Stabilization Guaranty, Escrow and Security Agreement, Freddie Mac shall fund the amount of the applicable Release Purchase Price related to the shortfall pursuant to its Credit Enhancement, which amount shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Series Certificate Agreement to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class B Certificates (or to the extent there are no Class B Certificates above the amount of the Minimum Sponsor Interest left to redeem in the related Series Pool, to pay down a corresponding amount of the related Class A Certificates). Any such amount paid with respect to such Class B Certificates shall be used to reimburse Freddie Mac for the amount of the corresponding Credit Advance under its Credit Enhancement. Any Credit Advance arising from such a pay down of Class A Certificates shall be payable from the sources described in Section 4.03(b) of each Series Certificate Agreement and the cash flow from the Pledge Security Collateral.
