The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor on or before February 28 of each calendar year beginning in 2007, a report (an "Assessment of Compliance") reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee regarding the Master Servicer's assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which as of the date hereof, require a report by an authorized officer of the related Servicer that contains the following:
(a) A statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Master Servicer;
(b) A statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Master Servicer;
(c) An assessment by such officer of the Master Servicer's compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Master Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;
(d) A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the Master Servicer's Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and
(e) A statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the Master Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Master Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans. 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. The Master Servicer shall cause any subservicer, and each subcontractor determined by the Master Servicer to be "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountants' attestation. If the Master Servicer cannot deliver the related Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report by February 28th of such year, the Trustee, at its sole option, may permit a cure period for the Master Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report, but in no event later than March 10th of such year. The Trustee shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit N hereto which are indicated as applicable to the "trustee" or "securities administrator." In addition, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit N hereto which are indicated as applicable to a "custodian." 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.
