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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Servicer (a) The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in the same manner as would prudent institutional mortgage lenders servicing comparable mortgage loans for their own account in the jurisdictions where the related Mortgaged Properties are located and in a manner consistent with the terms of this Servicing Agreement and which shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through a subservicer, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable, it being understood, how ever, that the Servicer shall at all times remain responsible to the Company, the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Collateral, and the Securityholders for the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof and the servicing standard set forth above. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Company and the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Collateral, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Company, the Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian, as applicable, shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Servicer a power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan did not have a lien senior on the related Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-Off Date, then the Servicer, in such capacity, may not consent to the placing of a lien senior to that of the Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property. If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior to the Mortgage Loan on the related Mort gaged Property as of the Cut-Off Date, then the Servicer, in such capacity, may consent to the refinancing of such senior lien; PROVIDED that (i) the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing and (ii) the interest rate for the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien on the date of such refinancing is no higher than the interest rate on the loan evidencing the existing senior lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing. The relationship of the Servicer (and of any successor to the Servicer as servicer under this Servicing Agreement) to the Company under this Servicing Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
(b) The Servicer has entered into Initial Subservicing Agreements with the Initial Subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and may enter into additional Sub servicing Agreements with Subservicers for the servicing and administration of certain of the Mortgage Loans. References in this Servicing Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer and any amount received by such Subservicer in respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to have been received by the Servicer whether or not actually received by the Servicer. Each Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Servicing Agreement and as the Servicer and the Subservicer have agreed. With the approval of the Servicer, a Subservicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but such Subservicers will remain obligated under the related Subservicing Agreements. The Servicer and the Subservicer may enter into amendments to the related Subservicing Agreements; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such amendments shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Servicing Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof and without any limitation by virtue of this Servicing Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing Agreement by the Servicer or the Subservicer, the Servicer shall either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loan or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which will be bound by the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer and nothing contained in this Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. In the event that the rights, duties and obligations of the Servicer are terminated hereunder, any successor to the Servicer in its sole discretion may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, terminate the existing Subservicing Agreement with any Subservicer in accordance with the terms of the applicable Subservicing Agreement or assume the terminated Servicer's rights and obligations under such subservicing arrangements which termination or assumption will not violate the terms of such arrangements. As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Company, shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related Subservicing Agreement, to the extent that the non-performance of any such obligation would have material and adverse effect on a Mortgage Loan. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing Agreements 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 Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
