TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND UTILITIES (A) Lessee shall be liable, and agrees to pay the charges for, all public utility services rendered or furnished to the Leased Premises, including heat, water, gas, electricity, sewer, sewage treatment facilities and the like, all personal property taxes, real estate taxes, special assessments, and municipal or government charges, general, ordinary and extraordinary, of every kind and nature whatsoever, which may be levied, imposed, or assessed against the Leased Premises, or upon any improvements thereon, at any time after the Occupancy Date of this Lease and prior to the expiration of the term hereof, or any Renewal Term.
(B) Lessee shall pay all real estate taxes, assessments for public improvements or benefits, and other governmental impositions, duties, and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever which shall or may, during the term of this Lease, be charged, laid, levied, assessed, or imposed upon, or become a lien or liens upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof or upon the rents payable hereunder, except for taxes based solely upon the income of Lessor. Such payments shall be considered as rent paid by Lessee in addition to the Rent defined at Article 4 hereof. Lessee shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing covenant if payment is permitted without penalty or interest, or before the same shall become a lien upon the Leased Premises. If by law any real estate taxes, assessments for public improvements or benefits, or other governmental impositions, duties, and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever may at the option of the taxpayer be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance), Lessee may exercise the option to pay the same in installments and shall pay such installments as they become due during the term of this Lease. Lessee shall not be liable for installments which come due after the termination date of the Lease. If due to a change in the method of taxation, a franchise tax, rental tax, or income or profit tax shall be levied against Lessor in substitution for or in lieu of any tax which would otherwise constitute a real estate tax, such tax shall be deemed a real estate tax for the purposes herein and shall be paid by Lessee.
(C) All real estate taxes, assessments for public improvements or benefits, water rates and charges, sewer rents, and other governmental impositions, duties, and charges which shall become payable for the first and last tax years of the term hereof shall be apportioned pro rata between Lessor and Lessee in accordance with the respective number of months during which each party shall be in possession of the Leased Premises in said respective tax years. For the purposes of this provision, all personal property taxes, real estate taxes and special assessments shall be deemed to have been assessed in the year that the first payment or any installment thereof is due.
(D) Lessee shall have the right to contest or review by legal proceedings or in such other manner as may be legal (which, if instituted, shall be conducted solely at Lessee's own expense) any tax, assessment for public improvements or benefits, or other governmental imposition aforementioned, at any time until the property is subject to levy or execution. All such proceedings shall be begun as soon as reasonably possible after the imposition or assessment of any contested items and shall be prosecuted to final adjudication with reasonable dispatch. In the event of any reduction, cancellation, or discharge, Lessee shall pay the amount that shall be finally levied or assessed against the Leased Premises or adjudicated to be due and payable, and, if there shall be any refund payable by the governmental authority with respect thereto, Lessee shall be entitled to receive and retain the same, subject, however, to apportionment as provided during the first and last years of the term of this Lease.
(E) Lessor, within sixty (60) days after notice to Lessee if Lessee fails to commence such proceedings, may, but shall not be obligated to, contest or review by legal proceedings, or in such other manner as may be legal, and at Lessor's own expense, any tax, assessments for public improvements and benefits, or other governmental imposition aforementioned, which shall not be contested or reviewed, as aforesaid, by Lessee, and unless Lessee shall promptly join with Lessor in such contest or review, Lessor shall be entitled to receive and retain any refund payable by the governmental authority with respect thereto.
(F) Lessor shall not be required to join in any proceeding referred to in this Article, unless in Lessee's reasonable opinion, the provisions of any law, rule, or regulation at the time in effect shall require that such a proceeding be brought by and/or in the name of Lessor, in which event Lessor shall upon written request, join in such proceedings or permit the same to be brought in its name.
Environmental Compliance and Reports Borrower shall comply in all respects with any and all Environmental Laws; not cause or permit to exist, as a result of an intentional or unintentional action or omission on Borrower’s part or on the part of any third party, on property owned and/or occupied by Borrower, any environmental activity where damage may result to the environment, unless such environmental activity is pursuant to and in compliance with the conditions of a permit issued by the appropriate federal, state or local governmental authorities; shall furnish to Lender promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof a copy of any notice, summons, lien, citation, directive, letter or other communication from any governmental agency or instrumentality concerning any intentional or unintentional action or omission on Borrower’s part in connection with any environmental activity whether or not there is damage to the environment and/or other natural resources.

Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit CC hereto delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor concurrently with the execution of this Agreement. On or before February 28 of each calendar year beginning in 2007, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee and the Depositor a report (an "Attestation Report") by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Master Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any Custodian, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund. Failure of the Master Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20 shall be deemed an Event of Default, automatically, without notice and without any cure period, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans serviced by it and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same. This paragraph shall supercede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items (a) To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more custodial accounts at a depository institution (which may be a depository institution with which the Master Servicer or any Servicer establishes accounts in the ordinary course of its servicing activities), the accounts of which are insured to the maximum extent permitted by the FDIC (each, an “Escrow Account”) and to deposit therein any collections of amounts received with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments, water rates, standard hazard insurance policy premiums, Payaheads, if applicable, or any comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors.
