The
Company hereby approves Xxxxxx Loan Servicing LP as an approved Special

Section
2.02 Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans.
(a)
To
the extent and for so long as the Class B Certificates of a Series are
outstanding and the Class B Holder owns at least 100% of the then most
subordinate outstanding class of the Class B Certificates of such Series,
Mortgage Loans of the related Series which are 90 or more days delinquent
and/or
REO Property of a Series may, at the option of the Class B Holder, be designated
in writing by the Class B Holder as Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and
transferred to the Special Servicer for servicing. The Special Servicer shall
service the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms
hereof and the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On
or
before the fourth business day of each calendar month, the Company as the
servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with a preliminary list of REO
Property and those Mortgage Loans which are 90-days or more delinquent as
of
such date. On or before the thirteenth calendar day of the month, the Company
as
the master servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with a list of REO
Property and those Mortgage Loans which are 90-days or more delinquent as
of
such date. The list provided shall include the following information as to
each
such Delinquent Mortgage Loan: delinquency status, foreclosure status, and
bankruptcy.
On
or
before the 15th
calendar
day of such month, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Class B Holder,
shall
provide written notice to the Company of each such Mortgage Loan and REO
Property which has been designated a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by
the
Class B Holder. Servicing of each Mortgage Loan and REO Property so designated
as a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan for which the Company is servicer shall
be
transferred by the Company to the Special Servicer effective on the first
day of
the calendar month immediately following the month of such designation (the
"Effective Date") unless another date has been mutually agreed upon by the
Special Servicer and the Company substantially in the manner set forth herein.
Each Mortgage Loan and REO Property so designated as a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan for which the Company is master servicer shall result in the
Company giving direction to the underlying servicer that the servicing of
such
loans is to
2
be
transferred to the Special Servicer effective on the first day of the calendar
month immediately following the month of such designation (the "Effective
Date")
unless another date has been mutually agreed upon by the servicer, the Special
Servicer and the Company. The Company will work with the Special Servicer
to
encourage the servicer to comply with a transfer substantially in the manner
set
forth herein and in Exhibit B hereto.
The
parties hereto agree to customary and reasonable fees such as recording of
assignments resulting from the transfer of the servicing of a Mortgage Loan.
Fees beyond this would be negotiated between the parties.
(b)
As of
the Effective Date of each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special
Servicer shall succeed to and undertake all rights, duties and obligations
of
the prior servicer (including, without limitation, the making of advances,
any
right to purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at the purchase price
set forth in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the right to
receive the servicing fee and retain additional servicing compensation with
respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) pursuant to and in accordance
with the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Special
Servicer shall provide all loan level information by the 5th
calendar
day to the Company as master servicer and remit as stated in the respective
Pooling and Servicing Agreement on the eighteenth (18th)
day, or
if such eighteenth (18th)
day is
not a Business day, the Business Day immediately preceding such eighteenth
(18th)
day
beginning with the succeeding month after the Effective Date. The Company
may
also be entitled to additional master servicing compensation not based on
the
master servicing fee rate, as agreed with the Special Servicer, such as any
net
REO proceeds in excess of the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest
on a mortgage loan. In addition, with the exception of sub prime mortgage
loans,
,
if the
Special Servicer determines that an advance will not be recoverable, the
Special
Servicer will first consult with the Company prior to the date the advance
would
otherwise be required and discuss with the Company why the advance is deemed
non
recoverable as well as provide a value assessment. .
(c)
The
Company acknowledges that the Special Servicer or an affiliate may
receive
usual and customary real estate referral fees from real estate brokers in
connection with the listing and disposition of REO Property.
(d)
Subject to sections 2.03, 5.15 and 5.16, once a Mortgage Loan becomes a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall remain a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, and shall continue to be serviced by the Special
Servicer (or a successor appointed under Section 2.04), regardless of
delinquency status, whether the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO
Property or otherwise, until the earlier of the liquidation or other disposition
of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the termination of this Agreement;
provided, however, that if the Company exercises its right as Master Servicer
to
purchase all of the Mortgage Loans in a Trust Fund pursuant to an optional
termination provision under the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
the
servicing of any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans shall be transferred
promptly by the Special Servicer in accordance with written instructions
from
the Company.
3
Upon
termination of the Trust Fund, if Company does not provide transfer instructions
and if Special Servicer does not elect to terminate this Agreement, Special
Servicer shall continue to service the Mortgage Loans until liquidation or
sale,
on condition that the Special Servicer will service on an actual/actual basis,
and Special Servicer and Company will negotiate a new service fee effective
upon
termination of the Trust Fund. Company agrees to provide Special Servicer
written notice mailed (30) thirty days prior to the distribution day upon
which
final payment of the Certificates will be made.
(e)
If
the Class B Holder (i) transfers such percentage interest in any Class B
Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns less than 100%
of the
then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such class, or (ii) purchases
such percentage interest in any Class B Certificates of a Series such that
the
Class B Holder owns 100% of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance
of such class, the Class B Holder shall promptly notify the Company and the
Special Servicer in writing within fifteen (15) business days of any such
transfer or acquisition. With respect to the purchase of 100% of the Class
B
Certificates of any Series by the Class B Holder after the date hereof, this
Agreement shall be effective as of the date such written notice of acquisition
is received by the Company
(f)
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer
shall
(i) in no event be obligated to effect any cure or remedy in connection with
a
deficiency in the documentation for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
to the
extent such deficiency existed at the time such Mortgage Loan became a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) have any responsibility for any obligations,
duties, or liabilities of the Company with respect to the servicing of a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that arose prior to the related Effective
Date
for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, other than those which would
customarily be assumed after the Effective Date.

Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Company and Special Servicer agree to
the
Operational Requirements listed on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part
hereof.

financial condition, or income of the Company.

Litigation or Adverse Conditions.

litigation is pending or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, threatened

to
cause any registration or qualification with, any court or regulatory authority

12
unfavorable
decision, ruling, or finding, would
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Special Servicer to service
a
Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein.
(v) No
Litigation or Adverse Conditions.
No
litigation is pending or, to the best of the Special Servicer's knowledge,
threatened against it, which, if determined adversely to the Special Servicer
would prohibit the Special Servicer from entering into this Agreement or,
in the
good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, is likely to
materially and adversely affect either its ability to perform its obligations
hereunder or the financial condition of the Special Servicer. The Special
Servicer has no knowledge of any recent adverse financial condition or
event
with respect to itself that, in its good faith and reasonable judgment,
is
likely to materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations
hereunder.
(vi) Fidelity
Bond; Errors and Omission Insurance.
Each
