The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

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. Such fidelity bond shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten days' prior written notice to the Trustee. 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 during which Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties exist as part of the Trust Fund) also keep in force with a Qualified Insurer having a claims-paying rating no lower than two rating categories below the highest rated Certificates outstanding, and in any event no lower than investment grade, from each of the Rating Agencies, 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 FNMA seller-servicer of multifamily mortgage loans, or in such other form and amount as would not adversely affect any rating assigned by either Rating Agency to the Certificates (as evidenced in writing from each such Rating Agency).

To the extent the Loan documents do not set forth specific terms requiring insurance coverage against terrorist or similar acts and a Loan (x) requires a Mortgagor to maintain insurance policies covering some or all of the risks contained in the Additional Exclusions or (y) in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer has determined that the Loan documents permit the lender to require the Mortgagor to maintain insurance policies covering some or all the risks contained in the Additional Exclusions (the covered risks required to be covered or which the lender has the discretion to require to be covered being referred to as "Covered Risks"), the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to determine whether, upon renewal of the Mortgagor's property or casualty insurance (including any all risk insurance policy), any of the Covered Risks are excluded from coverage. If any of the Covered Risks are determined by the Master Servicer to be excluded from coverage, the Master Servicer shall request the Mortgagor to either (i) purchase insurance acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and in accordance with the related Loan documents covering such Covered Risks or (ii) provide a written explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance.

If the Stated Principal Balance of the Loan is greater than $20,000,000, then the Master Servicer must determine that the circumstances in both clauses (1) and (2) of the immediately preceding sentence apply prior to waiving the Mortgagor's requirement to procure insurance with respect to any Covered Risks. If the Special Servicer fails to give a response to the Master Servicer as referenced in the second preceding sentence within 10 Business Days of the Master Servicer initially notifying the Special Servicer in writing of such request, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Directing Certificateholder of such failure of the Special Servicer to respond to such request. If the Directing Certificateholder and/or the Special Servicer have not responded to the Master Servicer within 10 Business Days of the notice referenced in the immediately preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether to require (or not require) the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance. If the Master Servicer requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance and the Mortgagor fails to maintain such insurance, to the extent such insurance is then reasonably available, the Master Servicer shall then procure such insurance in accordance with the Servicing Standard and such failure by the Mortgagor shall constitute a Servicing Transfer Event. For purposes of computing whether the $20,000,000 threshold described herein is met for a particular Loan, if a Loan is secured by multiple Mortgaged Properties, then the amount subject to the $20,000,000 threshold shall be the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Loan pro rated based on an individual Mortgaged Property's appraised value as a percentage of the total appraised value of all of the related Mortgaged Properties.
