Initial Escrow Amount; Issuance of Escrow Receipts The Escrow Agent hereby directs the Underwriters to, and the Underwriters hereby acknowledge that on the date hereof they shall, irrevocably deliver to the Depositary on behalf of the Escrow Agent, an amount in U.S. dollars ("Dollars") and immediately available funds equal to $56,000,000 for deposit on behalf of the Escrow Agent with the Depositary in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Deposit Agreement.

The Escrow Agent shall provide to the Pass Through Trustee for attachment to each Certificate newly issued under and in accordance with the Pass Through Trust Agreement an executed Escrow Receipt as the Pass Through Trustee may from time to time request of the Escrow Agent. Each Escrow Receipt shall be registered by the Escrow Agent in a register (the "Register") maintained by the Escrow Agent in the same name and same manner as the Certificate to which it is attached and may not thereafter be detached from such Certificate to which it is to be affixed prior to the distribution of the Final Withdrawal (the "Final Distribution").

Escrow Provisions Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt by Escrow Agent of the Initial Deposit paid by Buyer to be applied to the Purchase Price under the terms hereof. Escrow Agent agrees to hold, keep and deliver the Initial Deposit, and the Additional Deposit to the extent received by Escrow Agent as provided in Section 1.04(a) hereof, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to any fees or compensation for its services hereunder. Escrow Agent shall be liable only to hold said sums and deliver the same to the parties named herein in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, it being expressly understood that by acceptance of this Agreement, Escrow Agent is acting in the capacity of a depository only and shall not be liable or responsible to anyone for any damages, losses or expenses unless same shall have been caused by the gross negligence or willful malfeasance of Escrow Agent. In the event of any disagreement between Buyer and Seller resulting in any adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or for the monies involved herein or affected hereby, Escrow Agent shall refuse to comply with any such claims or demands so long as such disagreement may continue. In so refusing, Escrow Agent shall make no delivery or other disposition of any of the monies then held by it under the terms of this Agreement, and in so doing Escrow Agent shall not become liable to anyone for such refusal; and Escrow Agent shall refrain from acting until (a) the rights of the adverse claimants shall have been finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction of the monies involved herein or affected hereby, or (b) all differences shall have been adjusted by agreement between Seller and Buyer, and Escrow Agent shall have been notified in writing of such agreement signed by the parties hereto. Escrow Agent shall not be required to disburse any of the monies held by it under this Agreement unless in accordance with either a joint written instruction of Buyer and Seller or an undisputed Escrow Demand (as hereinafter defined) from either Buyer or Seller in accordance with the provisions hereinafter set forth. Upon receipt by Escrow Agent from either Buyer or Seller (the “Notifying Party”) of any notice or request (the “Escrow Demand”) to perform any act or disburse any portion of the monies held by Escrow Agent under the terms of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party (the “Notified Party”). If within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice, Escrow Agent does not receive any written objection to the Escrow Demand from the Notified Party, Escrow Agent shall comply with the Escrow Demand. If Escrow Agent does receive written objection from the Notified Party in a timely manner as aforesaid, Escrow Agent shall take no further action until the dispute between the parties has been resolved pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) above, provided, however, in the case of clause (a), Escrow Agent may bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit said monies into any court of competent jurisdiction pending such adjudication and to submit such resolution of such dispute to such court by action of interpleader, whereupon Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall terminate.
Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund (a) If (and for so long as) a Trigger Event shall have occurred and shall not have been cured by a Trigger Event Cure, on each Payment Date during such period, Borrower shall pay to Lender (or Servicer, as directed by Lender) an amount equal to (i) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (ii) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (i) and (ii) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). Lender shall apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender shall return any excess to Borrower (or to Operating Company, if so directed by Borrower). In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (i) and (ii) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make any deposits into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund on account of Insurance Premiums if (and for so long as) Borrower shall maintain a blanket insurance policy in respect of the Properties that is in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) and otherwise satisfactory to Lender in all material respects.
(c) Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund following the occurrence of a Trigger Event Cure shall be returned to Borrower (or Operating Company, as directed by Borrower).
