Realization Upon Defaulted Serviced Loans. (a) The Special Servicer shall, subject to Sections 3.09(b), 3.09(c), and 3.09(d), exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties and other collateral securing such of the Serviced Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, including pursuant to Section 3.20; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, with respect to any ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of Excess Interest (other than the making of requests for its collection) unless (i) the taking of an enforcement action with respect to the payment of other amounts due under such Serviced Loan is, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, and without regard to such Excess Interest, also necessary, appropriate and consistent with the Servicing Standard, or (ii) all other amounts due under such Serviced Loan have been paid, the payment of such Excess Interest has not been forgiven in accordance with Section 3.20 and, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, the Liquidation Proceeds expected to be recovered in connection with such enforcement action will cover the anticipated costs of such enforcement action and, if applicable, any associated Advance Interest. In connection with the foregoing, in the event of a default under any Serviced Loan or Cross-Collateralized Set that is secured by real properties located in multiple states, and such states include California or another state with a statute, rule or regulation comparable to California's "one action rule", then the Special Servicer shall consult Independent counsel regarding the order and manner in which the Special Servicer should foreclose upon or comparably proceed against such properties. The reasonable costs of such consultation shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. In addition, all other costs and expenses incurred in any foreclosure sale or similar proceeding shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by such Special Servicer taking into account the factors described in Section 3.18 and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence or otherwise, all such cash bids to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer deems it necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Serviced Loan, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer is authorized to have an Appraisal completed with respect to such property (the cost of which appraisal shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance). (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property shall be acquired by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Whole Loan, on behalf of the related Companion Loan Holder) under such circumstances, in such manner or pursuant to such terms as would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (unless the portion of such REO Property that is not treated as "foreclosure property" and that is held by REMIC I at any given time constitutes not more than a de minimis amount of the assets of such REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(3)(i) and (ii)), or (ii) except as permitted by Section 3.17(a), subject the Trust (and in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing any Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder) to the imposition of any federal income or prohibited transaction taxes under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, however, a Mortgaged Property may be acquired through a single member limited liability company. In addition, except as permitted under Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property on behalf of the Trust pursuant to this Section 3.09 (with the exception of cash or cash equivalents pledged as collateral for a Serviced Loan) unless either: (i) such personal property is incident to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or (ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property as part of the Trust Fund will not cause either of REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding or, subject to Section 3.17, cause the imposition of a tax on the Trust under the REMIC Provisions. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trust (and in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Whole Loan, on behalf of the related Companion Loan Holder), obtain title to a Mortgaged Property by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders (and in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Whole Loan, on behalf of the related Companion Loan Holder), could, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, be considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless: (i) the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on a Phase I Environmental Assessment (and any additional environmental testing that the Special Servicer deems necessary and prudent) of such Mortgaged Property conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts Phase I Environmental Assessments and performed during the 12-month period preceding any such acquisition of title or other action, that the Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and there are no circumstances or conditions present at the Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any applicable environmental laws and regulations; or (ii) in the event that the determination described in the immediately preceding clause (c) (i) cannot be made, the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, on the same basis as described in the immediately preceding clause (c)(i), that it would maximize the recovery to the Certificateholders (or if a Serviced Whole Loan is affected, to the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holder) (as a collective whole and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan that is an A/B Whole Loan, taking into account the subordination of the related A/B Companion Loan), on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated collections that will be distributable to Certificateholders to be performed at the related Net Mortgage Rate) to acquire title to or possession of the Mortgaged Property and to take such remedial, corrective and/or other further actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and to appropriately address any of the circumstances and conditions referred to in the immediately preceding clause (c)(i). Any such determination by the Special Servicer contemplated by clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Whole Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved) and the Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved), specifying all of the bases for such determination, such Officer's Certificate to be accompanied by all related environmental reports. The cost of such Phase I Environmental Assessment and any such additional environmental testing shall be advanced by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer given in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall not be obligated in connection therewith to advance any funds that, if so advanced, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Amounts so advanced shall be subject to reimbursement as Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a). The cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph shall be payable out of the Certificate Account or, if a Whole Loan is involved, out of the related Whole Loan Custodial Account, pursuant to Section 3.05. (d) If neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 3.09(c) has been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall take such action as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (other than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and, at such time as it deems appropriate, may, on behalf of the Trust, and, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan that is an A/B Whole Loan, taking into account the subordination of the related A/B Companion Loan), release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage. (e) The Special Servicer shall report to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved), the related Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved) and the Directing Certificateholder monthly in writing as to any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to which neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 3.09(c) has been satisfied, in each case until the earliest to occur of satisfaction of either of such conditions, release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property and the related Loan's becoming a Corrected Serviced Loan. (f) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of seeking to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the subject Serviced Loan permit such an action and shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, seek such deficiency judgment if it deems advisable. (g) Annually in each January, commencing in January 2008, the Master Servicer (with information provided by the Special Servicer) shall file with the IRS, on a timely basis, the information returns with respect to the reports of foreclosures and abandonments and reports relating to any cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties (other than REO Properties related to any Non-Serviced Loan) required by Sections 6050H (as applicable), 6050J and 6050P of the Code. Contemporaneously, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that all such information returns relating to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties that were required to be filed during the prior 12 months have been properly completed and timely provided to the IRS. The Master Servicer shall prepare and file the information returns with respect to the receipt of any mortgage interest received in a trade or business from individuals with respect to any Serviced Loan as required by Section 6050H of the Code. All information returns shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by the relevant sections of the Code. (h) As soon as the Special Servicer makes a Final Recovery Determination with respect to any Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Loan), it shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved) and the Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved). The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by a Servicing Officer, of each such Final Recovery Determination (if any) and the basis thereof. Each such Final Recovery Determination (if any) shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer no later than the third Business Day following such Final Recovery Determination.

Realization Upon Defaulted Serviced Loans. (a) The Special Servicer shall, subject to Sections 3.09(b), 3.09(c), and 3.09(d), exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties and other collateral securing such of the Serviced Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, including pursuant to Section 3.20; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, with respect to any ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of Excess Interest (other than the making of requests for its collection) unless (i) the taking of an enforcement action with respect to the payment of other amounts due under such Serviced Loan is, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, and without regard to such Excess Interest, also necessary, appropriate and consistent with the Servicing Standard, or (ii) all other amounts due under such Serviced Loan have been paid, the payment of such Excess Interest has not been forgiven in accordance with Section 3.20 and, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, the Liquidation Proceeds expected to be recovered in connection with such enforcement action will cover the anticipated costs of such enforcement action and, if applicable, any associated Advance Interest. In connection with the foregoing, in the event of a default under any Serviced Loan or Cross-Collateralized Set that is secured by real properties located in multiple states, and such states include California or another state with a statute, rule or regulation comparable to California's "one action rule", then the Special Servicer shall consult Independent counsel regarding the order and manner in which the Special Servicer should foreclose upon or comparably proceed against such properties. The reasonable costs of such consultation shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. In addition, all other costs and expenses incurred in any foreclosure sale or similar proceeding shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by such Special Servicer taking into account the factors described in Section 3.18 and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence or otherwise, all such cash bids to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer deems it necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Serviced Loan, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer is authorized to have an Appraisal completed with respect to such property (the cost of which appraisal shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance).
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property shall be acquired by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Whole Loan, on behalf of the related Companion Loan Holder) under such circumstances, in such manner or pursuant to such terms as would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (unless the portion of such REO Property that is not treated as "foreclosure property" and that is held by REMIC I at any given time constitutes not more than a de minimis amount of the assets of such REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(3)(i) and (ii)), or (ii) except as permitted by Section 3.17(a), subject the Trust (and in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder) to the imposition of any federal income or prohibited transaction taxes under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, however, a Mortgaged Property may be acquired through a single member limited liability company. In addition, except as permitted under Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property on behalf of the Trust pursuant to this Section 3.09 (with the exception of cash or cash equivalents pledged as collateral for a Serviced Loan) unless either:
(i) such personal property is incident to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or
(ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property as part of the Trust Fund will not cause either of REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding or, subject to Section 3.17, cause the imposition of a tax on the Trust under the REMIC Provisions.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trust (and in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the related Companion Loan Holder), obtain title to a Mortgaged Property by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders (and in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the related Companion Loan Holder), could, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, be considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless:
(i) the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on a Phase I Environmental Assessment (and any additional environmental testing that the Special Servicer deems necessary and prudent) of such Mortgaged Property conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts Phase I Environmental Assessments and performed during the 12-month period preceding any such acquisition of title or other action, that the Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and there are no circumstances or conditions present at the Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any applicable environmental laws and regulations; or
(ii) in the event that the determination described in the immediately preceding clause (c)
(i) cannot be made, the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, on the same basis as described in the immediately preceding clause (c)(i), that it would maximize the recovery to the Certificateholders (or if a Serviced Whole Loan is affected, to the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holder) (as a collective whole and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan that is an A/B Whole Loan, taking into account the subordination of the related A/B Companion Loan), on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated collections that will be distributable to Certificateholders to be performed at the related Net Mortgage Rate) to acquire title to or possession of the Mortgaged Property and to take such remedial, corrective and/or other further actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and to appropriately address any of the circumstances and conditions referred to in the immediately preceding clause (c)(i). Any such determination by the Special Servicer contemplated by clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Whole Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved) and the Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan Loan, is involved), specifying all of the bases for such determination, such Officer's Certificate to be accompanied by all related environmental reports. The cost of such Phase I Environmental Assessment and any such additional environmental testing shall be advanced by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer given in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall not be obligated in connection therewith to advance any funds that, if so advanced, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Amounts so advanced shall be subject to reimbursement as Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a). The cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph shall be payable out of the Certificate Account or, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, out of the related Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, pursuant to Section 3.05.
(d) If neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 3.09(c) has been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall take such action as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (other than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and, at such time as it deems appropriate, may, on behalf of the Trust, and, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan that is an A/B Whole Loan, taking into account the subordination of the related A/B Companion Loan), release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage.
(e) The Special Servicer shall report to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved), the related Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan Loan, is involved) and the Directing Certificateholder monthly in writing as to any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to which neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 3.09(c) has been satisfied, in each case until the earliest to occur of satisfaction of either of such conditions, release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property and the related Serviced Loan's becoming a Corrected Serviced Loan.
(f) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of seeking to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the subject Serviced Loan permit such an action and shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, seek such deficiency judgment if it deems advisable.

(i) cannot be made, the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, on the same basis as described in the immediately preceding clause (c)(i), that it would maximize the recovery to the Certificateholders (or if a Serviced Whole Loan is affected, to the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holder) (as a collective whole and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan that is an A/B Whole Loan, taking into account the subordination of the related A/B Companion Loan), on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated collections that will be distributable to Certificateholders to be performed at the related Net Mortgage Rate) to acquire title to or possession of the Mortgaged Property and to take such remedial, corrective and/or other further actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and to appropriately address any of the circumstances and conditions referred to in the immediately preceding clause (c)(i). Any such determination by the Special Servicer contemplated by clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Whole Loan Holder (if a Whole Loan is involved) and the Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved), specifying all of the bases for such determination, such Officer's Certificate to be accompanied by all related environmental reports. The cost of such Phase I Environmental Assessment and any such additional environmental testing shall be advanced by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer given in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall not be obligated in connection therewith to advance any funds that, if so advanced, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Amounts so advanced shall be subject to reimbursement as Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a). The cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph shall be payable out of the Certificate Account or, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, out of the related Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, pursuant to Section 3.05.
(d) If neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 3.09(c) has been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall take such action as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (other than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and, at such time as it deems appropriate, may, on behalf of the Trust, and, if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved, the related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan that is an A/B Whole Loan, taking into account the subordination of the related A/B Companion Loan), release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage.
(e) The Special Servicer shall report to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved), the related Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved) and the Directing Certificateholder monthly in writing as to any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to which neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 3.09(c) has been satisfied, in each case until the earliest to occur of satisfaction of either of such conditions, release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property and the related Serviced Loan's becoming a Corrected Serviced Loan.
(f) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of seeking to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the subject Serviced Loan permit such an action and shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, seek such deficiency judgment if it deems advisable.
(g) Annually in each January, commencing in January 2008, the Master Servicer (with information provided by the Special Servicer) shall file with the IRS, on a timely basis, the information returns with respect to the reports of foreclosures and abandonments and reports relating to any cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties (other than REO Properties related to any Non-Serviced Loan) required by Sections 6050H (as applicable), 6050J and 6050P of the Code. Contemporaneously, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that all such information returns relating to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties that were required to be filed during the prior 12 months have been properly completed and timely provided to the IRS. The Master Servicer shall prepare and file the information returns with respect to the receipt of any mortgage interest received in a trade or business from individuals with respect to any Serviced Loan as required by Section 6050H of the Code. All information returns shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by the relevant sections of the Code.
(h) As soon as the Special Servicer makes a Final Recovery Determination with respect to any Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Loan), it shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, the related Companion Loan Holder (if a Serviced Whole Loan is involved) and the Controlling Holder (if an A/B Whole Loan is involved). The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by a Servicing Officer, of each such Final Recovery Determination (if any) and the basis thereof. Each such Final Recovery Determination (if any) shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer no later than the third Business Day following such Final Recovery Determination.
