SECTION 1.02 Certain Terms.
Terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to

SECTION 1.03 Determination of LIBOR.
LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the Bond Interest Rates on the Class
A-1, Class A-2, Class B, Class C and Class D Bonds for any Interest Accrual
Period will be determined on each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date as follows:
For any Interest Accrual Period, the rate for United States dollar deposits
for one month which appears on the Telerate Screen Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M.,
London, England time, on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the first day of
such Interest Accrual Period (a "LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date"). If such rate does
not appear on such page (or such other page as may replace that page on that
service, or if such service is no longer offered, such other service for
displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be reasonably selected by the
Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer), the rate will be the
Reference Bank Rate. The "Reference Bank Rate" will be determined on the basis
of the rates at which deposits in the U.S. dollars are offered by the reference
banks (which shall be three major banks that are engaged in transactions in the
London interbank market, selected by the Trustee after consultation with the
Master Servicer) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on the day that is two LIBOR
Business Days prior to the immediately preceding Payment Date to prime banks in
the London interbank market for a period of one month in amounts approximately
equal to the aggregate Class Balance of the Class Balance of the Bonds then
outstanding. The Trustee will request the principal London office of each of the
reference banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such
quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations.
If on such date fewer than two quotations are provided, as requested, the rate
will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by one or more major banks in
New York City, selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Master
Servicer, as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such date for loans in U.S.
dollars to leading European banks for a period of one month in amounts
approximately equal to the aggregate Class Balance of the Bonds then
outstanding. If no such quotations can be obtained and no Reference Bank Rate is
available, LIBOR will be LIBOR applicable to the preceding Payment Date.
The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee on any LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date
and the Trustee's subsequent calculation of the Bond Interest Rates applicable
to the Bonds for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of
manifest error, will be final and binding.
Promptly following each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date the Trustee shall supply
the Master Servicer with the results of its determination of LIBOR on such date.

(a) In connection with the Grant of the Trust Estate by the Issuer to
secure the Bonds, the Issuer is required to deliver to and deposit with, or
cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Trustee, on or before the
Closing Date, the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan. Also in connection
therewith, the Issuer shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be
delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing
Date: (i) copies of the Indenture and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; (ii)
copies of the documents comprising the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan; and
(iii) all other documents and records in the possession of the Issuer or the
Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans, are necessary for the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans and are not required to be a part of a Mortgage
File in accordance with the definition thereof. The Master Servicer shall hold
all such documents and records delivered to it on behalf of the Trustee in trust
for the benefit of the Bondholders and, subject to the lien of the Indenture,
the Issuer.
(b) The Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer within 15 days after
the Closing Date each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of
Leases in favor of the Trustee delivered to it as part of a Mortgage File and
each UCC-2 and UCC-3 in favor of the Trustee delivered to it as part of a
Mortgage File, and the Master Servicer shall, at the Mortgage Loan Seller's
expense, as to each Mortgage Loan, promptly (and in any event within 45 days
following the Closing Date) cause each such document to be submitted for
recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for
real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as the Master Servicer deems
appropriate. Each such assignment shall reflect that it should be returned by
the public recording office to the Trustee following recording, and each such
UCC-2 and UCC-3 shall reflect that the file copy thereof should be returned to
the Trustee following filing; provided that in those instances where the public
recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of
Assignment of Leases the Master Servicer shall obtain therefrom a certified copy
of the recorded original. If any such document or instrument is lost or returned
unrecorded or unfilled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the
Issuer shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute therefor or
cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the Master Servicer shall
upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as
appropriate.
SECTION 2.02. Document Defects and Breaches; Repurchase.
(a) If any party hereto discovers that any document constituting a part of
a Mortgage File has not been properly executed, is missing, contains information
that does not conform in any respect with the corresponding information set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (and the terms of such document have not
been modified by written instrument contained in the Mortgage File), or does not
appear to be regular on its face (each, a "Document Defect"), or if any party
hereto discovers a breach of any representation or warranty of the Mortgage Loan
Seller relating to any Mortgage Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement (a "Breach"), such party shall give prompt written notice thereof to
the other parties hereto.
(b) Promptly upon its discovery or receipt of notice of any Document
Default or Breach that materially and adversely affects the value of any
Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Issuer and/or the Bondholders therein, the
Master Servicer shall request that the Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than [90]
days (or such other period as is provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement) from the receipt by the Mortgage Loan Seller of such request, cure
such Document Defect or Breach in all material respects or repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price as, if and to the extent
required by the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided that if (i) such
Breach is capable of being cured but not within such 90-day (or other) period,
(ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with
the cure of such Breach within such 90-day (or other) period, and (iii) the
Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer
a certification executed on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller by an officer
thereof setting forth the reason that such Breach is not capable of being cured
within an initial 90-day (or other) period, specifying what actions the Mortgage
Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the
Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Breach will be cured within an
additional period not to exceed 90 more days, then the Mortgage Loan Seller
shall have up to an additional 90 days to complete such cure. If the affected
Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Master Servicer shall designate the
Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Purchase
Price are to be wired, and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee
(by delivery thereto of an Officer's Certificate) when such deposit is made. Any
such purchase of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released
basis, and shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions set forth in
the Indenture. In connection with any such purchase by the Mortgage Loan Seller,
each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver any portion
of the related Servicing File that is in its possession to such purchaser or its
designee.
(c) If the Mortgage Loan Seller defaults on its obligations to repurchase
any Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 2.02, the Master Servicer
shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Issuer and the Bondholders and shall take
such actions with respect to the enforcement of such repurchase obligations,
including, without limitation, the institution and prosecution of appropriate
legal proceedings, as the Master Servicer shall determine, in its reasonable
good faith judgment, are in the best interests of the Bondholders (taken as a
collective whole) and are not inconsistent with the Indenture. Any and all
expenses incurred by the Master Servicer with respect to the foregoing shall
constitute Servicing Advances in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan.

ARTICLE III
GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO SERVICERS

(a) Each Servicer, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, agrees to
service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement and in all cases in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and Accepted Special Servicing
Practices, as applicable.
(b) Any funds received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan by a
Servicer shall be received and held by such Servicer in accordance with this
Agreement and pursuant to Accepted Servicing Practices or Accepted Special
Servicing Practices, as applicable, for the benefit of the Bondholders and the
related Mortgagor as their respective interests may appear and as provided in
this Agreement.
SECTION 3.02 Notices to Mortgagors.
The Master Servicer shall, within five (5) Business Days of the Delivery
Date for any Mortgage Loan, send by first class mail or by hand delivery written
notice to the related Mortgagor that the Master Servicer has been engaged to
service such Mortgage Loan, which notice shall direct such Mortgagor to make
further payments and to send all future notices with respect to such Mortgage
Loan directly to the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master
Servicer shall not be required to send such notice if the Mortgage Loans shall
be subserviced by the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement
between the Master Servicer and the Mortgage Loan Seller, and there is no change
in where the Mortgagor is required to send payments under the Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 3.03 Subservicing.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may enter into subservicing
agreements with one or more subservicers (including subsidiaries or affiliates
of the Servicer) for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.
References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions
taken or to be taken by a subservicer on behalf of such Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between either Servicer and a
subservicer or reference to actions taken through such Persons or otherwise,
such Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer and Bondholders
for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability
by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements, or by virtue of
indemnification from a subservicer, and to the same extent and under the same
terms and conditions as if the such Servicer alone were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans. Each Servicer shall be entitled to enter into
any agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of such Servicer and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
Any subservicing agreement that may be entered into and any other
transactions or servicing arrangements relating to the Mortgage Loans involving
a subservicer shall be deemed to be between the subservicer and the related
Servicer, and none of the Trustee, the Bondholders nor the Issuer shall be
deemed parties thereto and none of such Persons shall have claims or rights
(except as specified below), nor obligations, duties or liabilities with respect
to the subservicer; provided, that the Trustee and the Bondholders may rely upon
the representations and warranties of the subservicer contained therein and each
of the Trustee and the Issuer shall be a third party beneficiary of the
covenants and other provisions setting forth obligations of the subservicer
therein.
If the Trustee or any successor Servicer assumes the obligations of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with this
Agreement, the Trustee or such successor Servicer may, at its option, (i)
terminate any subservicing agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.03 or (ii) succeed to all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer under any
subservicing agreement, and any such subservicing agreement shall provide such
right of termination or succession to the Trustee or such successor Servicer. In
such event, the Trustee or such successor Servicer shall be deemed to have
assumed all of the interest of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer therein
(but not any liabilities or obligations in respect of acts or omissions of the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer prior to such deemed assumption) and to have
replaced the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a party
to such subservicing agreement to the same extent as if such subservicing
agreement had been assigned to the Trustee or such successor Servicer, except
that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not thereby be relieved
of any liability or obligations under such subservicing agreement that accrued
prior to the assumption of duties hereunder by the Trustee or such successor
Servicer.
In the event that the Trustee or any successor Servicer assumes the
servicing obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, upon request of the Trustee or such successor Servicer, the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer shall, at its own expense, promptly deliver to the
Trustee or such successor Servicer all documents and records relating to any
subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder,
and the Servicer will otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and
efficient transfer of any subservicing agreement to the Trustee or such
successor Servicer.
SECTION 3.04 Record Title to Mortgage Loans, Etc.
No Servicer shall hold record title to any Mortgage or any Mortgage Note.
SECTION 3.05 Release of Documents and Instruments of Satisfaction.
The Trustee may, subject to the terms hereof, upon receipt of a Request for
Release and Receipt of Documents provided by any Servicer substantially in the
form set forth on Exhibit B, release to such Servicer the related Mortgage Loan
File or the documents from a Mortgage Loan File set forth in such request. Each
Servicer acknowledges that during all times that any Mortgage Loan File or any
contents thereof are in the physical possession of such Servicer, such Mortgage
Loan File and the documents contained therein shall be held by the Servicer.
Subject to any state law requirement or court order, each Servicer hereby
agrees to return to the Trustee each and every document previously requested
from the Mortgage Loan File when such Servicer's need therefor in connection
with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exists, unless the related Mortgage
Loan shall be liquidated or paid in full, in which case, upon receipt of the
Request for Release and Receipt of Documents from either Servicer, the Trustee
may release the related Servicer's prior request form, together with all other
documents still retained by the Trustee with respect to such Mortgage Loan, to
such Servicer.
Upon receipt of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or upon the
receipt by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer of a notification that
payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, such
Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release and Receipt
of Documents in the form set forth on Exhibit B requesting delivery to such
Servicer of the Mortgage Loan File for such Mortgage Loan. In connection
therewith, such Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release and
Receipt of Documents indicating that all amounts received in connection with
such payment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof have been or will be so deposited.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall forward to the Trustee
original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into by such Servicer in accordance with
this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of the execution thereof and the
delivery of such instrument to such Servicer; provided, however, that such
Servicer may, in lieu thereof, provide the Trustee with a certified true copy of
any such document submitted for recordation within five (5) Business Days of its
execution, in which event such Servicer shall provide the Trustee with the
original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document
certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete
copy of the recorded original within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof
by such Servicer.
Upon any payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer may execute an instrument of satisfaction regarding the related
Mortgage and any other related Mortgage Loan Documents, which instruments of
satisfaction shall be recorded by such Servicer if required by applicable law
and shall be delivered to the Person entitled thereto, it being understood and
agreed that all reasonable expenses incurred by such Servicer in connection with
such instruments of satisfaction shall be deemed a Servicing Advance, which
shall be reimbursed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Such Servicer shall
notify the Trustee of an instrument of satisfaction described above as soon as
practicable.
SECTION 3.06 Access to Certain Documentation Regarding the Mortgage Loans
and This Agreement.
Upon reasonable advance written notice, each Servicer shall give the
Trustee or its agents or representatives, during normal business hours at such
Servicer's offices, reasonable access to all reports, information and
documentation regarding any Mortgage Loan, this Agreement (including the right
to make copies or extracts therefrom) and access to officers of such Servicer
responsible for such obligations.
SECTION 3.07 Annual Statement As to Compliance.
Each Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer and the Trustee, on or before
April 30 of each year, beginning April 30, 199__, a statement, signed by a
Servicing Officer thereof, stating that (a) a review of the activities of such
Servicer during the preceding calendar year (or during the period from the date
of commencement of its duties hereunder until the end of such preceding calendar
year in the case of the first such certificate) and of its performance under
this Agreement has been made under such Servicing Officer's supervision; and (b)
to the best of such Servicing Officer's knowledge, based on such review, such
Servicer has fulfilled all of its material obligations under this Agreement
throughout such period, or if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
such obligation, specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer
and the nature and status thereof.
SECTION 3.08 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before April 30 of each year, beginning April 30, 199__, each
Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants
that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to
furnish a statement to the Issuer and the Trustee to the effect that such firm
has examined such documents and records as it has deemed necessary and
appropriate relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement
for the preceding calendar year (or during the period from the date of
commencement of such servicer's duties hereunder until the end of such preceding
calendar year in the case of the first such certificate) and that, on the basis
of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform
Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion
that such servicing during such period has been conducted in compliance with
this Agreement except for such exceptions that, in the opinion of such firm, the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers requires it to report,
in which case such exceptions shall be set forth in such statement.
SECTION 3.09 Merger or Consolidation of Any Servicer.
(a) Each Servicer shall keep in full force and effect its existence, rights
and franchises as an association or corporation under the laws governing its
charter or articles of incorporation and, in the case of the initial Servicer,
its good standing as a ___________ under the laws of the State of __________;
except as permitted in this Section 3.09 and shall obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation, association or limited
partnership, as applicable, in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is
or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this
Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.
(b) Any Person into which a Servicer may be merged, converted, or
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which a Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
the business of a Servicer, shall be the successor of such Servicer hereunder,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an entity
whose business includes the servicing of mortgage loans, shall service
multifamily and/or commercial mortgage loans, as applicable, in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices or Accepted Special Servicing Practices, as
applicable, and shall satisfy the requirements of Section 13.12 hereof with
respect to the qualifications of a successor to a Servicer.
SECTION 3.10 Limitation on Liability of the Servicers and Others.
Neither the Servicers or any of the directors, officers, employees or
agents thereof shall be under any liability for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices or Accepted Special Servicing Practices, as applicable, and otherwise
in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment (not
constituting negligence or willful misconduct); provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect any Servicer or such Persons of such Servicer
against any liability resulting from any breach of any representation or
warranty made herein, or from any liability specifically required to be borne by
such party without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof; and
provided, further, that this provision shall not protect any Servicer or such
Persons of such Servicer against any liability that would otherwise be imposed
by reason of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance
of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of the obligations or duties
hereunder. Each Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent thereof
may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed
and submitted by any appropriate Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. No Servicer shall, as applicable, be under any obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to
service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement.
SECTION 3.11 Resignation of Servicers.
Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 3.11, neither
the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall resign as such or delegate
its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof; provided that (i) either
Servicer may enter into a Subservicing Agreement subject to Section 3.03 and
(ii) either Servicer may resign upon determination that its duties hereunder are
no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting
the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
(obtained at the resigning Servicer's expense) to such effect delivered to the
Trustee and acceptable in form and substance thereto. Unless applicable law
requires the Servicer's resignation to become effective immediately, no such
resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or other successor shall
have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning party in
accordance with Section 8.02 and Section 13.12 hereof.
SECTION 3.12 Maintenance of Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
Each Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense, and keep in
full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a blanket fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy issued by a surety or insurer
which is a Qualified Insurer covering such Servicer's officers and employees in
connection with its activities under this Agreement.
The deductible on the fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy shall
not exceed the greater of $__________ and five (5) percent of the face amount of
such bond or policy. In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in
effect, such Servicer shall immediately obtain a comparable replacement bond or
policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term unsecured debt
obligations of such Servicer or its corporate parent have been rated "A" or
better by two or more of the Rating Agencies (one of which shall be [Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services] and, if not rated by [Fitch IBCA, Inc.], is acceptable
thereto), such Servicer shall be entitled to provide self-insurance or obtain
from its parent adequate insurance, as applicable, with respect to its
obligation to maintain a blanket fidelity bond or an errors and omissions
insurance policy.
SECTION 3.13 Indemnity.
(a) Each Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the
Issuer against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and
liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
litigation, arising from claims or actions that were caused by or resulted from
a breach of any of such Servicer's representations and warranties contained in
this Agreement or arising out of the Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties of
such Servicer hereunder.
(b) Each Servicer and the directors, officers and agents thereof shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer from any and all costs, expenses,
losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel and expenses of litigation, incurred in connection with any legal
action relating to any Mortgage Loans and this Agreement, other than any costs,
expense, loss, damage, claim or liability incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of such Servicer in the performance of
duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties of such
Servicer hereunder.
(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by any Servicer, the
Trustee on behalf of the Bondholders, of notice of any complaint or the
commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which indemnification
is being sought under clause (a) or (b) above (each an "Indemnified Party"),
such Indemnified Party shall notify each Servicer, the Trustee on behalf of the
Bondholders from which indemnification is sought pursuant to clause (a) or
clause (b) above (each an "Indemnifying Party") in writing of such complaint or
of the commencement of such action or proceeding, but failure so to notify the
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability
which the Indemnifying Party may have hereunder or otherwise, except to the
extent that such failure materially prejudices the rights of the Indemnifying
Party. If the Indemnifying Party so elects or is requested by such Indemnified
Party, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action or
proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to each
Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel.
In the event, however, such Indemnified Party reasonably determines in its
judgment that having common counsel would present such counsel with a conflict
of interest or that having common counsel would in any other way disadvantage
such Indemnified Party or if the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense
of the action or proceeding in a timely manner, then such Indemnified Party may
employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or
proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and disbursements of
such counsel; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be
required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one separate counsel for
all related Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single action or
proceeding. In any action or proceeding the defense of which the Indemnifying
Party assumes and in which an Indemnified Party is not entitled to separate
counsel pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such Indemnified Party
shall have the right to participate in such litigation and to retain its own
counsel at such Indemnified Party's expense.
SECTION 3.14 Information Systems.
Each Servicer shall maintain a data storage and retrieval system capable of
maintaining, updating and providing reports with respect to all relevant
information with respect to each Mortgage Loan that may be required to satisfy
the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to all information on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule. Each Servicer shall update the data on such system to
reflect any information available thereto from time to time.
ARTICLE IV
OBLIGATIONS OF THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 4.01 The Master Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer shall service and administer each Mortgage Loan
(except as such obligations may be undertaken by the Special Servicer pursuant
to Article VI hereof) on behalf of and in the best interests of and for the
benefit of the Bondholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
Accepted Servicing Practices.
(b) Subject to Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement
and of each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall have full power and
authority to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such
servicing and administration that it may deem, in its best judgment, necessary
or desirable, including, without limitation, to execute and deliver any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to any Mortgage
Loan which is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized
and empowered to, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, prepare, execute and
deliver at the expense of the Issuer, any and all financing statements,
continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain
the lien on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral. The Master
Servicer shall service and administer each Mortgage Loan in accordance with
applicable state and federal law and shall provide to each Mortgagor any
information required to be provided to it thereby. Subject to the foregoing, the
Master Servicer shall service and administer each Mortgage Loan in accordance
with the Mortgage Loan Documents, and shall enforce all provisions designated in
the Mortgage Loan Documents, including but not limited to the establishment and
administration of escrow accounts, reserve accounts, impound accounts and
operation and maintenance plans. The Master Servicer may from time to time
request in writing any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder. If it shall make such written request, the
Master Servicer shall prepare for signature by the Trustee, and the Trustee
shall sign any such powers of attorney or other documents necessary or
appropriate to carry out such duties hereunder; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by
the Master Servicer.
(c) The Master Servicer assumes, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (except
as otherwise set forth in Article VI), full responsibility for the timely
payment (subject to Section 4.05(b) with respect to any Nonrecoverable Advances)
of all customary, reasonable and necessary "out of pocket" costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred in connection
with:
(i) any enforcement, administrative or judicial proceedings, or any
necessary legal work or advice specifically related to servicing the
Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to, bankruptcies,
condemnations, drug seizures, foreclosures by subordinate lienholders,
legal costs associated with preparing powers of attorney pursuant to
Section 4.01(b) above, and other legal actions incidental to the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans (provided that such expenses are
reasonable and that the Master Servicer specifies the Mortgage Loan(s)
to which such expenses relate);
(ii) all ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rates and
other charges, as applicable, that are or may become a lien upon the
Mortgaged Property, and all fire, flood, hazard and other insurance
coverage (to the extent required in this Agreement, including renewal
payments); and
(iii) compliance with the servicing provisions applicable to the Master
Servicer set forth herein.
With respect to any costs described in clauses (i) and (ii) above and to
the extent the related Mortgage Loan Documents do not provide for escrow
payments or the Master Servicer determines that any such payments have not been
made by the related Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall effect timely payment
of all such expenses before they become delinquent if the Master Servicer shall
have or should have had knowledge based on Accepted Servicing Practices of such
nonpayment by the Mortgagor before it becomes delinquent, and, otherwise, the
Master Servicer shall effect immediate payment of all such expenses which it has
knowledge or should have knowledge based on Accepted Servicing Practices have
become delinquent. The Master Servicer shall make Servicing Advances from its
own funds to effect such payments to the extent not deemed a Nonrecoverable
Advance and shall be reimbursed therefor in accordance with Section 4.03(a)
hereof; provided, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the
Master Servicer shall make such advance within five Business Days after the
Master Servicer has received confirmation that such item has not been paid;
provided further that the Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to confirm
whether such items have been paid. With respect to any costs described in clause
(iii) above, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such
costs as Servicing Advances only to the extent expressly provided in this
Agreement. If the Master Servicer determines with respect to any Mortgage Loan
that a Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or
that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance, it shall deliver to the Trustee a
Nonrecoverable Advance Bond.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event or upon the
resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall
effect the timely and efficient transfer of its servicing responsibilities to
the successor Servicer.
SECTION 4.02 Collection Account; Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan
Payments.
(a) Subject to Article VI, from the date hereof until the principal and
interest on the Mortgage Loans is paid in full, the Master Servicer shall
proceed diligently to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall follow such collection procedures as
are in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(b) On or before the Delivery Date and as necessary thereafter, the Master
Servicer shall establish, and agrees to maintain for the duration of this
Agreement, the Collection Account in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of

the Collection Account shall be held by the Master Servicer for the benefit of
the Bondholders in each case and shall not be commingled with any other moneys.
The Master Servicer shall deposit, within one Business Day following receipt,
all collections with respect to the Mortgage Loans into the Collection Account.
The Master Servicer shall, within five (5) Business Days of the establishment
thereof, notify the Trustee in writing of the location and account number of the
Collection Account established for the Mortgage Loans and shall give the Trustee
written notice of any change of such location or account number on or prior to
the date of such change. Funds in the Collection Account may be invested by, at
the risk of, and for the benefit of, the Master Servicer in Permitted
Investments which shall not be sold or disposed of prior to maturity. All such
Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Master Servicer (in
its capacity as such and for the benefit of the Bondholders) or its nominee. All
income therefrom shall be the property of the Master Servicer. In addition, if
the amounts in the Collection Account are invested for the benefit of the Master
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deposit on each Determination Date into such
account out of its own funds an amount representing any net losses realized on
Permitted Investments with respect to funds in such account for such Remittance
Period.
(c) The Master Servicer shall deposit the following amounts into the
Collection Account pursuant to clause (b) above:
(i) all payments on account of principal and Principal Prepayments, on the
related Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the related Mortgage Loans,
including default interest net of any portion thereof retained by the
Master Servicer as its Servicing Fee;
(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds, Excess Condemnation Proceeds and Excess
Insurance Proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties;

6.06(d);

hereof, other than REO Proceeds;
but excluding (1) REO Proceeds which will be remitted to the Special Servicer
for deposit into the REO Account within one Business Day after receipt and (2)
amounts representing fees payable by Mortgagors with respect to Mortgage Loans
which may be retained by the Master Servicer or remitted to the Special
Servicer, as applicable, as additional servicing compensation hereunder.
(d) Subject to Section 4.03(c), all funds deposited by the Master Servicer
in the Collection Account maintained for the benefit of the Bondholders shall be
held for the benefit of the Bondholders until disbursed or withdrawn in
accordance herewith. Except as expressly permitted or required hereunder, the
Master Servicer shall not sell, transfer or assign to any Person any interest
(including any security interest) in amounts credited or to be credited to the
Collection Account or take any action towards that end, and shall maintain such
amounts free of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any nature.
SECTION 4.03 Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may make withdrawals from the Collection Account of
amounts on deposit therein attributable to the related Mortgage Loans for
(without duplication) the following purposes in the following order of priority:
(i) to recoup any amount deposited in the Collection Account and not
required to be deposited therein;
(ii) on each Remittance Date, from amounts representing payments by a

Condemnation Proceeds with respect to a Mortgage Loan, to pay to
itself the Master Servicing Fee;
(iii) to reimburse the Trustee and itself, in that order, for xxxxxxxxxxxx
X&X Advances from collections on the related Mortgage Loans, together

being limited to amounts on deposit in the Collection Account in
respect of Liquidation Proceeds, Excess Insurance Proceeds and Excess
Condemnation Proceeds with respect to such Mortgaged Property, and any
other amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan that represent
late recoveries of payments with respect to which such P&I Advances
were made;
(iv) for unreimbursed Servicing Advances incurred in connection with a
Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, together with interest at the
Advance Rate pursuant to Section 4.05, the right to withdraw amounts
pursuant to this subclause (iv) being limited to amounts on deposit in
such Collection Account in respect of Liquidation Proceeds, Excess
Insurance Proceeds and Excess Condemnation Proceeds with respect to
such Mortgaged Property, and any other amounts received on the related
Mortgage Loan that represent late recoveries of payments with respect
to which such Servicing Advances were made;
(v) on each Remittance Date, to pay to the Special Servicer the Special
Servicing Fee, and from time to time, to pay to the Special Servicer
the Disposition Fee;
(vi) on each Remittance Date, to reimburse the Trustee, and itself, in that
order, for accrued and unpaid interest at the Advance Rate on any

Servicing Advance for an expense the payment or reimbursement of which
is not an obligation of the related Mortgagor under the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan Documents, in each case, together with interest
at the Advance Rate pursuant to Section 4.05 and Section 7.02;
(viii) to the extent not reimbursed or paid pursuant to any other clause of
this Section 4.03(a), to reimburse or pay each Servicer, the Trustee,

Person under this Agreement pursuant to which such Person is entitled
to reimbursement or payment from the assets of the Trust;
(ix) on each Remittance Date, to pay itself any reinvestment income on
amounts on deposit in such Collection Account to which it is entitled
pursuant to Section 4.02(b);
(x) on each Remittance Date, to make remittances to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 4.04 hereof; and
(xi) to clear and terminate such Collection Account upon termination of
this Agreement.
(b) The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Collection Account and determining any shortfall or
overpayment of any amounts due from or on behalf of any Mortgagor or Mortgaged
Property. The Master Servicer shall pay to the Trustee or the Special Servicer
from the Collection Account (to the extent permitted by clause (a) above)
amounts permitted to be paid to the Trustee or the Special Servicer therefrom,
promptly upon receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
or a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer, as applicable, describing the
item and amount to which the Trustee or the Special Servicer is entitled. The
Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate and shall have no duty to
recalculate the amounts stated therein.
(c) The Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall in all
cases have a right prior to the Bondholders to any funds on deposit in the
Collection Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of
compensation, Advances with interest thereon at the Advance Rate and their
respective expenses hereunder to the extent such items are to be reimbursed or
paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to this
Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein to the contrary,
the reimbursement of any P&I Advances, together with interest thereon at the
Advance Rate, shall be made in the following order: first, to the Trustee,
second, to the Master Servicer.
SECTION 4.04 Remittances to the Trustee.
On each Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall (1) withdraw from the
Collection Account and remit to the Trustee, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the Collection Account, all amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account as of the close of business on the Determination Date prior
to such Remittance Date, minus:
(i) any permitted charges against or withdrawals from such Collection
Account pursuant to clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 4.03(a)
hereof; and
(ii) any amounts on deposit in the Collection Account representing a
Monthly Payment due on a Due Date following the Remittance Period for
such Determination Date net of any reduction in the aggregate amount
of P&I Advances for such Determination Date pursuant to Section
4.05(a) (which amounts shall be remitted pursuant to this Agreement on
the Remittance Date immediately following the Remittance Period in
which such Monthly Payment was due),
and (2) remit to the Trustee any P&I Advances required to be made on or prior to
such Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.05(a).
SECTION 4.05 Master Servicer Advances.
(a) To the extent that as of the Determination Date for any month, the full
amount of the Monthly Payment due in such month with respect to any Mortgage
Loan has not been received by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall, on
the related Remittance Date, deposit into the Collection Account, an advance (a
"P&I Advance") in an amount equal to the excess of such Monthly Payment over the
amount received; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make a Nonrecoverable
Advance and the Master Servicer shall not be required to make a P&I Advance with
respect to a Balloon Payment. For purposes of the immediately preceding
sentence, the Monthly Payment due on the Maturity Date for a Balloon Mortgage
Loan will be the amount that would be due on such day based on the full
amortization schedule used to calculate the prior Monthly Payments assuming a
later Maturity Date. If the Master Servicer determines that a P&I Advance is
required, it shall on or prior to such Remittance Date deposit in the Collection
Account out of its own funds an amount equal to the P&I Advance; provided,
however, that the aggregate amount of such P&I Advances for any Remittance Date
shall be reduced by any amounts being held for future remittance to the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(1)(ii). Any funds being held in the
Collection Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the
Master Servicer from its own funds by deposit in the Collection Account on each
future Remittance Date to the extent that funds in the Collection Account on
such Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Master Servicer required
to be made on such date. If the Master Servicer determines with respect to any
Mortgage Loan that a P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance or that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance, it shall deliver to the
Trustee a Nonrecoverable Advance Bond.
(b) To the extent required by the terms of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall make Servicing Advances from time to time; provided, however,
that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall
not be required to make a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(c) The Master Servicer shall determine whether amounts are available in
the Collection Account or the escrow account to reimburse the Trustee or the
Master Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made pursuant to this Agreement. The
Master Servicer shall promptly (but in any event no later than ten (10) Business
Days following receipt) withdraw all amounts necessary to make such
reimbursement to the extent such withdrawals are permitted under Section
4.03(a), and shall reimburse the Trustee or itself.
(d) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to interest on any Advance made
with respect to a Mortgage Loan. Such interest shall accrue at the Advance Rate
from the date on which such Advance was made to but not including any Business
Day on which the Master Servicer is reimbursed for such Advance pursuant to this
Agreement.
(e) The Master Servicer shall not make any Advance hereunder prior to the
time such Advance is required hereunder.
SECTION 4.06 Maintenance of Insurance.
(a) The Master Servicer shall in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices cause the Mortgagor to maintain for each Mortgage Loan (other than REO
Mortgage Loans), and if the Mortgagor does not so maintain, the Master Servicer
shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property all insurance required
by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided, however, that if
the insurance in the amount required above is not available at a commercially
reasonable cost, or the Trustee, as mortgagee, does not have an insurable
interest, as determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices, the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain such
policy. Subject to the preceding sentence, hazard insurance shall be maintained
in the amount set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents but in any event
in an amount at least equal to the replacement cost of the improvements which
are a part of such property. Such insurance policies shall also provide coverage
in amounts sufficient such that the insurance carrier would not deem the
Mortgagor to be a co-insurer thereunder. All such policies shall provide for at
least thirty days' prior written notice to the Master Servicer of any
cancellation, reduction in the amount of, or material change in, the coverage
provided thereunder. If at any time the Mortgaged Property is in a federally
designated special flood hazard area, the Master Servicer shall cause the
related Mortgagor to maintain or will itself obtain flood insurance in respect
thereof to the extent available at a commercially reasonable cost. Such flood
insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the unpaid principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (y) the greater of (1) the maximum
amount of such insurance required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note or
Mortgage and (2) the maximum amount of such insurance that is available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming
that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in
such program). Any cost incurred in maintaining any insurance required pursuant
to this subsection (a) shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to the Bondholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan
so permit but such cost shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing
Advance and shall be reimbursed as provided in this Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall arrange for the application of all such insurance proceeds (i) to
the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, (ii) to prepay in
whole or in part the outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Note
or (iii) to be released to the related Mortgagor, as the case may be, in all
cases in accordance with the express requirements of the applicable Mortgage
Loan Documents. To the extent the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents require the
delivery of appraisals, engineer's reports, architect's disbursement
certificates or other documents or instruments before any such insurance
proceeds are applied, the Master Servicer shall obtain and verify the same and
any costs so incurred shall be deemed to be a Servicing Advance and shall be
reimbursed as provided in this Agreement. If such insurance proceeds are to be
applied to restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or are to be
released to the related Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee prior to such application or release a certificate of a Servicing
Officer of the Master Servicer in reasonable detail specifying the purposes to
which such proceeds are to be applied and the account or Person to which they
are to be transferred.
(b) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, causes
any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a master force placed
insurance policy, which policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer and provides no
less coverage in scope and amount for such Mortgaged Property or REO Property
than the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to Section 4.06(a), the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations to maintain insurance pursuant to Section 4.06(a).
Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not
have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy
otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 4.06(a), and (ii) there shall
have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had
it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account from its own
funds the amount not otherwise payable under such policy because of such
deductible to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible
limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan, or, in the absence of
any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent
with Accepted Servicing Practices or Accepted Special Servicing Practices, as
applicable. In the event that either Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property
or REO Property to be covered by such a master force placed insurance policy,
the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or
REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such
policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby)
shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
SECTION 4.07 Enforcement of "Due-on-Sale" Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) To the extent any Mortgage Loan contains an enforceable `due-on-sale'
or `due-on-encumbrance' clause, the Master Servicer shall enforce such clause
unless the Master Servicer determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices that it would be in the best interest of the Bondholders to waive any
such clause. If the Master Servicer is unable to enforce any such "due-on-sale"
clause or if no "due-on-sale" clause is applicable or the Master Servicer
determines that such clause should be waived, the Master Servicer shall enter
into an assumption agreement with the Person to whom such property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state
Law and the related Mortgage, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master
Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement
with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from
liability and such Person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable
under the Mortgage Note; provided, however, that such substitute Mortgagor must
satisfy the requirements set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents or the
underwriting requirements customarily imposed by the Master Servicer's Accepted
Servicing Practices as a condition to approval of a borrower on a new mortgage
loan substantially similar to such Mortgage Loan.
(b) To the extent any Mortgage Loan contains a clause granting a right of
assumption to a qualified substitute Mortgagor upon the sale, conveyance or
transfer of the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall enter into
an assumption agreement with such qualified substitute Mortgagor, pursuant to
which such substitute Mortgagor becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If any
Person other than the Mortgagor has, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan
Documents, undertaken to indemnify the mortgagee and, in connection with an
assumption of the type referred to in the preceding sentence, the related
Mortgage Loan Documents permit a substitution of such third-party indemnitor by
a qualified substitute indemnitor, the Master Servicer shall enter into an
assumption of liability agreement with such qualified substitute indemnitor,
pursuant to which such substitute indemnitor becomes liable under the relevant
indemnification obligations. The Master Servicer is also authorized to enter
into a substitution of liability agreement with such substitute Mortgagor,
pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such
substitute Mortgagor is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under
the Mortgage Note; provided, however, that such substitute Mortgagor must
satisfy the requirements set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents or the
underwriting requirements customarily imposed by the Master Servicer's regular
commercial mortgage loan origination standards or Accepted Servicing Practices
as a condition to approval of a borrower on a new mortgage loan substantially
similar to such Mortgage Loan.
(c) The Master Servicer shall retain as additional servicing compensation
any fee collected for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
(d) In connection with any assumption under this Section 4.07, no material
term of the Mortgage Note (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage Interest
Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment, any interest rate floor or cap
applicable to the calculation of the Mortgage Interest Rate and any other term
affecting the amount or timing of payment on the Mortgage Loan) may be changed.
The Master Servicer shall forward to the Trustee the original substitution or
assumption agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement,
the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other
violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any conveyance by a
Mortgagor of a Mortgaged Property or any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of Law that the Master Servicer in good faith determines it may be
restricted by Law from preventing.
SECTION 4.08 Property Inspections.
The Master Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged
Property and shall verify and deliver to the Trustee a copy of a property
inspection report consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices; provided that
(i) each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan with an outstanding
principal balance in excess of $_________ shall be inspected and such a property
inspection report shall be delivered to the Trustee at least once a year, (ii)
each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance in
excess of $_________ and less than or equal to $_________ shall be inspected and
such a property inspection report shall be delivered to the Trustee at least
once every two years, and (iii) each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan
with an outstanding principal less than or equal to $_________ shall be
inspected as necessary or upon notice of any adverse event occurring with the
property, and such a property inspection report shall be delivered to the
Trustee. The Master Servicer shall prepare a summary of such inspection reports
and deliver such summary to each Rating Agency.
SECTION 4.09 Reports of Master Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver
to the Trustee in an electronic format agreed to by the Trustee and the Master
Servicer and consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, not later than the
fourth (4th) Business Day immediately preceding each Payment Date, a copy of a
Remittance Report. Such report shall be in respect of the related Remittance
Period on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis to the extent applicable.
(b) The Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee a copy of
the Collection Account reconciliation report in a form agreed to by the Master
Servicer and the Trustee on or prior to the fifteenth day of each calendar
month.
(c) [RESERVED]
(d) The Master Servicer shall prepare and distribute all information
statements relating to payments on the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all
applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
(e) The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with any reasonable
information needed by the Trustee which is consistent with Accepted Servicing
Practices with respect to the Mortgage Loans in order to allow the Trustee to
comply with its obligations under this Agreement and shall provide the Special
Servicer with any reasonable information needed by the Special Servicer which is
consistent with Accepted Special Servicing Practices with respect to Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Mortgage Loans in order to allow the Special
Servicer to comply with its obligations hereunder pursuant to Article VI.
(f) The Master Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all reports and
other information required to be prepared and delivered by the Mortgagor
pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents (including, but not
limited to, rent rolls) and shall forward copies of such information to the
Trustee periodically as such information from Mortgagor is received or as
otherwise directed by the Trustee.
SECTION 4.10 Confirmation of Balloon Payment.
The Master Servicer shall send a letter by first class mail to each
Mortgagor on a Balloon Mortgage Loan at least six (6) months and at least three
(3) months prior to the related Maturity Date reminding such Mortgagor of such
Maturity Date and requesting that not later than sixty (60) days prior to such
Maturity Date such Mortgagor confirm in writing that the payment due on such
Maturity Date will be made on such date and describe in reasonable detail any
arrangements made or to be made with regard to the payment of such Balloon
Payment.
SECTION 4.11 Master Servicer Compensation.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to a per annum fee (the "Master
Servicing Fee"), with respect to each Mortgage Loan, that shall be equal to one
twelfth of the product of (a) the Master Servicing Fee Rate and (b) the Stated
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in the preceding
calendar month. The Master Servicing Fee is payable to the extent permitted by
Section 4.03 hereof. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled to receive as
additional servicing compensation (i) all investment income earned on amounts on
deposit in the Mortgagor escrow, impound or reserve accounts (to the extent
consistent with applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan Documents) and the
Collection Account, (ii) all amounts collected with respect to the Mortgage
Loans (that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) in the nature of late
payment charges, late fees, NSF check charges (including with respect to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), extension fees, modification fees,
assumption fees, and similar fees and charges, and (iii) any Prepayment Interest
Excess (to the extent not offset against any Prepayment Interest Shortfall in
accordance with Section 4.12).
SECTION 4.12 Adjustment of Master Servicer's Compensation.
Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Article, the Master Servicing
Fee for the period ending on a Payment Date shall be reduced (but not below
zero) by an amount equal to any excess of any Prepayment Interest Shortfall over
any Prepayment Interest Excess for such Payment Date. The Master Servicer shall
be entitled to retain on any Payment Date any excess of any Prepayment Interest
Excess for such Payment Date over any Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such
Payment Date.
SECTION 4.13 Implementation of Operations and Maintenance Plans.
To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required
to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage
Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to enforce any
such plans in accordance in with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Document.
ARTICLE V
[RESERVED]
ARTICLE VI
OBLIGATIONS OF THE SPECIAL SERVICER
SECTION 6.01 The Special Servicer.
The Special Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and
administer the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Property on behalf of
and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Bondholders in
accordance with this Agreement and Accepted Special Servicing Practices. In the
event that a Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, subject
to the provisions contained in this Article VI, the Master Servicer shall
continue to collect all Monthly Payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4.02, except as
otherwise directed by the Special Servicer and agreed to by the Servicer in
writing.
SECTION 6.02 Transfer to Special Servicing.
(a) The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer as promptly as
practicable by telephone and in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to
the Master Servicer after it becomes aware of the occurrence of a Servicing
Transfer Event.
(b) Unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to a
Mortgage Loan are the same Person, promptly after the occurrence of a Servicing
Transfer Event, the Master Servicer shall send a letter by first class mail
(with a copy to the Special Servicer) notifying the related Mortgagor that the
related Mortgage Loan has become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and
instructing such Mortgagor to direct all future notices and communications to
the Special Servicer but to continue making Monthly Payments to the Master
Servicer unless otherwise directed by the Special Servicer in writing and agreed
by the Master Servicer.
(c) Not later than five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of a
Servicing Transfer Event, the Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to
provide the Special Servicer with copies of all information, documents and
records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic
disks and the like) in its possession relating to each Mortgage Loan with
respect to which notice is required to be delivered pursuant to clause (a)
above. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall take all other actions
necessary or appropriate to effect a transfer of servicing pursuant to this
Section 6.02 or Section 6.10, including but not limited to the preparation,
execution and delivery of any and all necessary or appropriate documents and
other instruments, and will cooperate fully with each other in effecting such
transfer as promptly as possible. Servicing of a Mortgage Loan shall be
automatically transferred to the Special Servicer on the Servicing Transfer
Date.
(d) Following the related Servicing Transfer Date, the Master Servicer
shall not have any further dealings or communications with the related Mortgagor
except as administrator of the Collection Account and the escrow, impound or
reserve accounts. The Master Servicer shall maintain up-to-date information on
each Mortgage Loan which becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in order to
properly administer the Collection Account and the escrow, impound or reserve
accounts, to enable it to resume all servicing obligations with respect to a
Mortgage Loan which ceases to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as promptly
as possible pursuant to Section 6.10 and to provide any reports required under
Article IV. The Special Servicer shall promptly provide to the Master Servicer
all information available to the Special Servicer and not available to the
Master Servicer necessary to maintain such up-to-date information.
(e) Promptly after the Servicing Transfer Date, the Special Servicer shall
send a letter by first class mail hereto notifying the related Mortgagor that
servicing has been transferred to the Special Servicer.
(f) [RESERVED]
(g) Following the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Date with respect to
any Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall service the related Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Property in accordance with this Agreement.
SECTION 6.03 Servicing of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans.
(a) Following the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event, the Special
Servicer shall request from the Trustee the name of the current Directing
Bondholder. The Trustee shall notify the Special Servicer of the identity of the
current Directing Bondholder upon request. Upon receipt of the name of such
current Directing Bondholder from the Trustee, the Special Servicer shall notify
the Directing Bondholder of the occurrence of such Servicing Transfer Event.
Servicing Officers of the Special Servicer shall, at the request of the
Directing Bondholder, be reasonably available during regular business hours to
discuss with such Bondholder objectives and strategies with respect to the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
(b) Subject to Section 6.03(c) below and Accepted Special Servicing
Practices, in servicing and administering any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
or REO Property, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do
any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration that it
may deem in its best judgment necessary or advisable including, without
limitation, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trustee and the Bondholders
any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial release or
full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to
such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or such REO Mortgage Loan or to agree to
any modification, waiver or amendment of any term and to defer, reduce or
forgive payment of interest and/or principal of any such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer may not extend the scheduled maturity date
of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to a date later than three years prior
to the Assumed Final Payment Date. The Special Servicer may from time to time
request in writing any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Special Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder. If it shall make such written request, the
Special Servicer shall prepare for signature by the Trustee, and the Trustee
shall sign any such powers of attorney or other documents necessary or
appropriate to carry out such duties hereunder; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by
the Special Servicer. In addition to the duties and obligations set forth in
this Article VI, the Special Servicer shall assume the rights and obligations of
the Master Servicer set forth in (i) Section 4.07 of this Agreement with respect
to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (but not any liabilities incurred by the
Master Servicer prior to the related Servicing Transfer Date) and (ii) Section
4.06 with respect to REO Properties. Any insurance required to be maintained by
the Special Servicer with respect to REO Properties pursuant to this Section and
any such Section 4.06 shall be maintained with Qualified Insurers.
(c) No later than sixty (60) days after a Servicing Transfer Date for a
Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, each Rating Agency and the Directing Bondholder a report (the "Asset
Strategy Report"), with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged
Property. Such Asset Strategy Report shall set forth the following information
to the extent reasonably determinable:
(i) summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and any
negotiations with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) consideration of alternatives to the exercise of remedies (such as
forbearance relief, modification of the terms and conditions of such
Mortgage Loan, disposition of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
the related Mortgaged Property and application of the proceeds of such
disposition to the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan
and interest thereon, or abandonment of the related Mortgaged
Property);
(iii) a discussion of the probable time frames and estimated amount of any
related Servicing Advances applicable to each of the alternatives
referred to above;
(iv) a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably
known to the Special Servicer, consistent with the Accepted Special
Servicing Practices, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies
as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other
collateral for the related Mortgage Loan and a recommendation as to
whether outside legal counsel should be retained;
(v) estimated budgets for any operating or capital funds expected to be
required for the related Mortgaged Property;
(vi) the most current rent roll available for and any strategy for the
leasing or releasing of the related Mortgaged Property;
(vii) the Special Servicer's analysis and recommendations (which will
include a discussion of alternative courses of action and a comparison
of the probable benefits and detriments of each alternative course of
action) on how such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan might be returned
to performing status and returned to the Master Servicer for regular
servicing under Article IV of this Agreement or otherwise realized
upon; and
(viii) such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in
light of the Accepted Special Servicing Practices.
If within ten (10) Business Days of receiving an Asset Strategy Report, the
Directing Bondholder does not disapprove such Asset Strategy Report in writing,
the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such
Asset Strategy Report; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary the Special Servicer may not take and shall not be required to
take any action that is contrary to applicable Law or the terms of the
applicable Mortgage Loan Documents. If the Directing Bondholder disapproves such
Asset Strategy Report, the Special Servicer will revise such Asset Strategy
Report and deliver to the Trustee, the Directing Bondholder, the Servicer and
the Rating Agencies a new Asset Strategy Report as soon as practicable. The
Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Strategy Report as described above in
this Section 6.03(c) until the Directing Bondholder shall fail to disapprove
such revised Asset Strategy Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of
receiving such revised Asset Strategy Report. The Special Servicer may, from
time to time, modify any Asset Strategy Report it has previously delivered and
implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed
and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Special Servicer (i) may following the occurrence of an
extraordinary event with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, take any
action set forth in such Asset Strategy Report before the expiration of a ten
(10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer has reasonably determined that
failure to take such action would materially and adversely affect the interest
of the Bondholders and it has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing
Bondholder and (ii) in any case, shall determine whether such disapproval is not
in the best interest of all the Bondholders pursuant to Accepted Special
Servicing Practices. Upon making such determination, the Special Servicer shall
either implement the Asset Strategy Report or notify the Trustee of such
rejection and deliver to the Trustee a proposed notice to Bondholders which
shall include the Asset Strategy Report, and the Trustee shall send such notice
to all Bondholders (or, to the extent known to the Trustee, Bond Owners). If the
majority of such Bondholders (including Bond Owners), as determined by Bond
Balance, fail within five (5) days of the Trustee's sending such notice to
reject such Asset Strategy Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the
same. If the Asset Strategy Report is rejected by the Bondholders, the Special
Servicer shall revise such Asset Strategy Report as described above in this
Section 6.03(c). The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Issuer
for the reasonable expenses of providing such notices.
(d) The Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the
Mortgagor for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and take such actions
consistent with Accepted Special Servicing Practices and the related Asset
Strategy Report. The Special Servicer shall not take any action inconsistent
with the related Asset Strategy Report.
(e) Upon request of any Bondholder (or any Bond Owner, if applicable, which
shall have provided the Trustee with evidence satisfactory to the Special
Servicer and the Trustee of its interest in a Bond pursuant to Section 11.04) or
any Rating Agency, the Trustee shall mail, without charge, to the address
specified in such request a copy of the most current Asset Strategy Report for
any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property.
SECTION 6.04 Title to REO Property; Management of REO Property.
(a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the deed or certificate of
sale shall be issued to the Issuer on behalf of the Bondholders. In accordance
with Section 6.05, and subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the
Indenture, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Bondholders and, subject to
the lien of the Indenture, the Issuer, shall sell any REO Property as promptly
as possible within a commercially reasonable time period. Subject to the
foregoing, the Special Servicer shall solicit offers for any REO Property in
such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price for such REO
Property.
(b) The Special Servicer's decision as to how each REO Property shall be
managed and operated shall be based in either case on the reasonable good faith
judgment of the Special Servicer as to which means would be in the best interest
of the Bondholders and the Issuer (as a collective whole) and, to the extent
consistent with the foregoing, in the same manner as would prudent mortgage loan
servicers and asset managers operating acquired mortgaged property comparable to
the respective REO Property under the same circumstances.
(c) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall
manage, conserve, protect and operate such REO Property for the benefit of the
Bondholders and, subject to the lien of the Indenture, the Issuer solely for the
purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in the same manner as would prudent
mortgage loan servicers and asset managers operating acquired mortgaged property
comparable to the respective REO Property under the same circumstances Subject
to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and
authority to do any and all things in connection therewith as are consistent
with the Servicing Standard and, consistent therewith, shall withdraw from the
REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to any REO
Property, funds necessary to pay all Property Protection Expenses
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any
REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the Special Servicer shall advance
such amounts as are necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an
Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee) the Special Servicer would not
make such advances if the Special Servicer owned such REO Property or the
Special Servicer determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that such
advances would be Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances; provided, however, that the
Special Servicer may make any such Servicing Advance without regard to
recoverability if it is a necessary fee or expense incurred in connection with
the defense or prosecution of legal proceedings.
[(d) The Special Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for
the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be inconsistent
herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm's length;
(ii) the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be expenses
payable out of the Trust Estate) shall be reasonable and customary in
consideration of the nature and locality of the REO Property;
(iii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require,
that the Independent Contractor, in a timely manner, (A) pay all costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management
of such REO Property, including, without limitation, those listed in
Section 3.17(b) above, and (B) remit all related revenues collected
(net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer
upon receipt;
(iv) none of the provisions of this Section 3.17(c) relating to any such
contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor
shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties
and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management
of any such REO Property;
(v) the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the
same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations
in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property;
and
(vi) such Independent Contractor is acceptable to each Rating Agency, and
such appointment will not result in a qualification, downgrading or
withdrawal of any of the ratings then assigned to the Bonds by such
Rating Agency (as evidenced in writing by each such Rating Agency).
The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any
Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. To the extent the costs of any contract with any
Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property are
greater than the revenues available from such property, such excess costs shall
be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.]
SECTION 6.05 Sale of REO Property and Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans.
Subject to terms of the related Asset Strategy Report, to the extent the
conditions, procedures or requirements set forth therein are more restrictive or
exacting than those set forth below, each Special Servicer agrees as follows:
(a) The Special Servicer may purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any
REO Property (in each case at the Purchase Price therefor). The Special Servicer
may also offer to sell to any Person any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO
Property, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted
Special Servicing Practices that such a sale would be in the best economic
interests of the Bondholders. The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee and
the Master Servicer not less than five Business Days' prior written notice of
the Purchase Price and its intention to (i) purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan
or REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor or (ii) sell any Defaulted
Mortgage Loan or REO Property, in which case the Special Servicer shall accept
the highest offer received from any Person for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or
any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor.
In the absence of any such offer, the Special Servicer shall accept the
highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special
Servicer to be a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property, if
the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, or if such
price is determined to be such a price by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is
an Interested Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither
the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an
offer for or purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO Property pursuant
hereto.
The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing
paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer
determines, in accordance with Accepted Special Servicing Practices, that
rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Bondholders. In
addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in
accordance with Accepted Special Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such
offer would be in the best interests of the Bondholders (for example, if the
prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its
obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower
offer are more favorable).
(b) In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person
represents a fair price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO Property, the
Trustee and the Special Servicer may conclusively rely on the opinion of an
Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters
retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Issuer. In determining whether any
offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO
Property, the Special Servicer or the Trustee (or, if applicable, such
appraiser) shall take into account, and any appraiser or other expert in real
estate matters shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among
other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected
Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the physical condition of the related Mortgaged
Property or such REO Property and the state of the local economy.
(c) Subject to Accepted Special Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer
shall act on behalf of the Issuer in negotiating and taking any other action
necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage
Loan or REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in
connection therewith. Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO Property
shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the
Issuer, the Mortgage Loan Seller, any Servicer, or the Issuer (except that any
contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary
warranties of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the
Issuer) and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none
of the Servicers, the Issuer, the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor the Trustee shall
have any liability to the Issuer or any Bondholder with respect to the purchase
price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.
(d) The proceeds of any sale after deduction of the expenses of such sale
incurred in connection therewith shall be promptly deposited into the Collection
Account.
SECTION 6.06 REO Account; Collection of REO Proceeds.
(a) The Special Servicer shall establish or cause to be established, and
hereby agrees to maintain or cause to be maintained for the duration of this
Agreement for each REO Mortgage Loan, an REO Account into which all related REO
Proceeds shall be deposited as and when received. Each of the Special Servicer's
REO Account shall be an Eligible Account.
(b) All funds deposited by the Special Servicer in any REO Account
maintained hereunder shall be held for the benefit of the Bondholders until
disbursed or withdrawn in accordance herewith. Funds in such REO Account shall
not be commingled with any other moneys. The Special Servicer shall, within five
(5) Business Days of the establishment thereof, notify the Master Servicer and
the Trustee in writing of the location and the account number of the REO Account
established by the Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loans and shall give the
Trustee and the Master Servicer written notice of any change of such location or
account number on or prior to the date of such change.
(c) Funds in an REO Account may be invested by, at the risk of, and for the
benefit of, the Special Servicer in Permitted Investments which shall not be
sold or disposed of prior to maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be
registered in the name of the Special Servicer (in its capacity as such and for
the benefit of the Bondholders) or its nominee. All income therefrom shall be
the property of the Special Servicer. In addition, if the amounts in any REO
Account are invested for the benefit of the Special Servicer, the Special

Period.

Proceeds into the applicable REO Account within one Business Day after receipt.
The Special Servicer shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper
operation, management, and maintenance of any REO Property, including any

for the purposes set forth in the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall
make a Servicing Advance for the amount of such shortfall. The Special Servicer
shall remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account on a
monthly basis prior to the related Remittance Date the REO Proceeds collected
with respect to the related REO Property, net of withdrawals made by the Special

determining the amount of any such remittance, the Special Servicer may retain
in such REO Account reasonable reserves for Property Protection Expenses.
(e) Except as expressly permitted or required hereunder, the Special
Servicer shall not sell, transfer or assign to any Person any interest
(including any security interest) in amounts credited or to be credited to any
REO Account or take any action towards that end, and shall maintain such amounts
free of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any nature.
SECTION 6.07 Remittances to Master Servicer.

addition, upon the occurrence of a Collateral Value Adjustment Event or
Liquidation Event from which a Collateral Value Adjustment, Realized Loss or
Collateral Value Adjustment Reduction Amount has resulted, the Special Servicer
shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and each Rating Agency, via facsimile (with a hard copy sent on the same
day by first-class mail or in electronic format reasonably acceptable to the
Master Servicer and consistent with Accepted Special Servicing Practices) not

accounts in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) Upon prior request of a Rating Agency or written request of the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, or the Issuer, the Special Servicer shall prepare such
other reasonable reports as may be requested in writing thereby. The Special
Servicer shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee reflecting the internal
and external costs to the Special Servicer of preparing such other reports
(except that no charges will be assessed for costs of such reports requested by
a Rating Agency) and such fee shall be paid by the Master Servicer to the
Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 6.09 Environmental Considerations.
(a) The Special Servicer shall not obtain title for the Issuer to a
Mortgaged Property as a result or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, nor shall
otherwise acquire possession of, or take other action with respect to, any
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Issuer, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Bondholders would 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 the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from
time to time, or any applicable comparable federal, state or local law, or a
"discharger" or "responsible party" thereunder, unless the Special Servicer has
also previously determined, in accordance with Accepted Special Servicing
Practices, based on a "Phase I", and, if applicable, a "Phase II" environmental
site assessment report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental
audits as determined by such Special Servicer in a manner consistent with
Accepted Special Servicing Practices, that:
(i) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable Environmental
Laws or, if not, that taking such actions as are necessary to bring
the Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith is reasonably likely to
produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis, after taking
into account any risks associated therewith, than not taking such
actions; and
(ii) there are no circumstances present on such Mortgaged Property relating
to the use, management, storage or disposal of any Hazardous Materials
for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or
remediation could be required under any Environmental Law, or that, if
any such Hazardous Materials are present for which such action could
be required, taking such actions with respect to the affected
Mortgaged Property is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery
on a net present value basis, after taking into account any risks
associated therewith, than not taking such actions; and
if the Special Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria
in clauses (i) and (ii) above that it would be in the best economic interest of
the Bondholders to take any such actions, the Special Servicer has notified the
Trustee and the Master Servicer in writing of such proposed action. The Special
Servicer shall provide a copy of the report described in the preceding sentence
to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Directing Bondholder. If within ten
(10) Business Days of receiving such recommendation, the Directing Bondholder
does not disapprove such recommendation in writing the Special Servicer shall
implement the recommended action. If the Directing Bondholder disapproves such
recommendation, the Special Servicer shall revise such recommendation and
deliver to the Trustee, the Directing Bondholder and the Master Servicer a new
recommendation as soon as practicable. The Special Servicer shall revise such
recommendation as described above in this Section 6.09(a) until the Directing
Bondholder shall fail to disapprove such revised recommendation in writing
within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised recommendation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer (i) may, following the
occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property, take any action it has recommended before the expiration of a ten (10)
Business Day period if the Special Servicer has reasonably determined that
failure to take such action would materially and adversely affect the interest
of the Bondholders and it has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing
Bondholder and (ii) in any case, shall determine whether such disapproval is not
in the best interest of all the Bondholders pursuant to Accepted Special
Servicing Practices. Upon making such determination, the Special Servicer shall
either implement its recommendations or notify the Trustee of such rejection and
deliver to the Trustee a proposed notice to Bondholders, which shall include the
Special Servicer's recommendation, and the Trustee shall send such notice to all
Bondholders (or, to the extent known to the Trustee, Bond Owners). If the
majority of such Bondholders (including Bond Owners), as determined by Bond
Balance, fail within five (5) days of the Trustee's sending such notice to
reject such recommendation, the Special Servicer shall implement the same. If
such recommendation is rejected by the Bondholders, the Special Servicer shall
not take any action so recommended and shall prepare a new recommendation. The
cost of preparation of any environmental assessment and the cost of any
compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation shall be deemed to be a
Property Protection Expense paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
(b) If the Special Servicer determines, pursuant to subsection (a) above,
that taking such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property
into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, or taking such actions with
respect to the containment, clean-up, removal or remediation of Hazardous
Materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, is not reasonably likely to
produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis, after taking into
account any risks associated therewith, than not taking such actions, the
Special Servicer shall notify the Directing Bondholders, Trustee and the Master
Servicer of such determination and recommend such action as it deems in good
faith to be in the best economic interests of the Bondholders. If within ten
(10) Business Days of receiving such recommendation, the Directing Bondholder
does not disapprove such recommendation in writing the Special Servicer shall
implement the recommended action. If the Directing Bondholder disapproves such
recommendation, the Special Servicer will revise such recommendation and deliver
to the Trustee, the Directing Bondholder and the Master Servicer a new
recommendation as soon as practicable. The Special Servicer shall revise such
recommendation as described above in this Section 6.09(b) until the Directing
Bondholder shall fail to disapprove such revised recommendation in writing
within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised recommendation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer (i) may, following the
occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property, take any action it has recommended before the expiration of a ten (10)
Business Day period if the Special Servicer has reasonably determined that
failure to take such action would materially and adversely affect the interest
of the Bondholders and it has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing
Bondholder and (ii) in any case, shall determine whether such disapproval is not
in the best interest of all the Bondholders pursuant to Accepted Special
Servicing Practices. Upon making such determination, the Special Servicer shall
either implement its recommendations or notify the Trustee of such rejection and
deliver to the Trustee a proposed notice to Bondholders, which shall include the
Special Servicer's recommendation, and the Trustee shall send such notice to all
Bondholders (or, to the extent known to the Trustee, Bond Owners). If the
majority of such Bondholders (including Bond Owners), as determined by Bond
Balance, fail within five (5) days of the Trustee's sending such notice to
reject such recommendation, the Special Servicer shall implement the same. If
such recommendation is rejected by the Bondholders, the Special Servicer shall
not take any action so recommended.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not take any
action pursuant to this Section 6.09 except in connection with the
implementation of an Asset Strategy Report pursuant to Section 6.03(c).
SECTION 6.10 Restoration of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans.
(a) Upon determining with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
that (i) three consecutive Monthly Payments on a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan have been made in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note
(taking into account any grace periods contained therein), (ii) such Mortgage
Loan is current as to payments of principal and interest and (iii) no Servicing
Transfer Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall immediately give
written notice thereof to the Master Servicer and the Trustee.
(b) Unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to a
Mortgage Loan are the same Person, not later than two (2) Business Days after
notice has been given pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Special Servicer
shall send a letter by first class mail, with a copy to the Master Servicer,
notifying the related Mortgagor that such Mortgage Loan has ceased being a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and instructing such Mortgagor to direct all
future notices and communications to the Master Servicer.
(c) In the event that a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan ceases to be such
pursuant to this Section 6.10, not later than five (5) Business Days after
notice has been given in (a) above, the Special Servicer shall use its best
efforts to provide the Master Servicer with copies of all information, documents
and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic
disks and the like) in its possession relating to such Mortgage Loan. Upon
receipt of such notice and all information, documents and records by the Master
Servicer pursuant to this Section 6.10 hereof, such Mortgage Loan shall cease to
be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer's obligation to
service such Mortgage Loan shall terminate, and all duties and obligations of
the Master Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan to the extent set forth
herein previously undertaken by the Special Servicer shall be resumed by the
Master Servicer.
SECTION 6.11 Removal of Special Servicer.
The Special Servicer may be removed without cause at any time by the
Holders of a majority of the Voting Rights in the fewest number of classes of
Bonds representing the most subordinate Class of Bonds that equal at least a
___% interest therein (the "Controlling Bondholder"). Such determination shall
be evidenced by written notice to the Trustee and each Servicer from the
Controlling Bondholders. The Special Servicer shall not be removed until a
successor shall have been appointed and shall be in the position to assume such
obligations hereunder. The Special Servicer shall cooperate in good faith with
the successor Special Servicer to minimize the number and severity of
disruptions to the servicing of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as a
result of such removal. No successor Special Servicer shall be appointed until
the Trustee receives written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies that
such appointment will not result in a withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of
the then current rating on the Bonds.
SECTION 6.12 Special Servicer Compensation.
Each Special Servicer shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for
services rendered by it hereunder on each Remittance Date from amounts in the
Collection Account in an amount (the "Special Servicing Fee") equal to
one-twelfth of the product of (a) ____% per annum calculated on the basis of
twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year and (b) the Stated Principal Balance of
each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in
the preceding calendar month. The Special Servicer will also be entitled to
receive with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property
that is sold or transferred or otherwise liquidated, in addition to the Special
Servicing Fee, a disposition fee (the "Disposition Fee") equal to ____% of the
net proceeds of the sale or liquidation of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
or REO Property. The Special Servicer will also be entitled to retain as
additional servicing compensation (i) all investment income earned on amounts on
deposit in any REO Account, and (ii) all amounts collected with respect to the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in the nature of late payment charges, late

Special Servicer shall obtain an appraisal for the related Mortgaged Property
from an independent MAI appraiser at the expense of the Issuer (except if an
appraisal has been conducted within the 12 month period preceding such event).
(b) Until such time as the related Collateral Value Adjustment is reduced
to zero, within 30 days of each anniversary of a Required Appraisal date for any
Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall order an update of the prior appraisal
for the related Mortgaged Property (the cost of which will be a Servicing
Advance of the Special servicer).
(c) The Special Servicer shall determine and report to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer any appraisal value obtained pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above
and will adjust the amount of the Collateral Value Adjustment in accordance
therewith.

Accepted Special Servicing Practices, as applicable.
In addition to the other reports and information made available and
distributed to the Issuer, the Trustee or the Bondholders pursuant to other
provisions of this Agreement, each Servicer shall, in accordance with such
reasonable rules and procedures as it may adopt (except with respect to the
Trustee, which may include the requirement that an agreement governing the
availability, use and disclosure of such information, and which may provide
indemnification to such Servicer for any liability or damage that may arise
therefrom, be executed to the extent such Servicer deems such action to be
necessary or appropriate), also make available any information relating to the

Issuer, the Trustee, the Bondholders, each Rating Agency and any other Persons
to whom such Servicer believes such disclosure is appropriate, in each case
except to the extent doing so is prohibited by applicable law or by the Mortgage
Loan Documents.
Copies of any and all of the foregoing items shall be available from the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, upon
request (subject to the exception in the preceding sentence). The Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall be permitted to require

reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it in providing copies of or access to
any information requested in accordance with the previous sentence.
(d) The Trustee shall mail or otherwise provide to any Person requesting a

the Trustee shall be entitled to indicate the source of all information

appropriate in its sole discretion (including any warnings as to the
confidential nature and/or the uses of such information as it may, in its sole
discretion, determine appropriate), (C) the Trustee shall be entitled (but not
obligated) to require payment from each recipient of a reasonable fee for, and
its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with, the collection assembly,
reproduction or delivery of any such Additional Information and (D) the Trustee

with such reasonable rules and procedures as it may deem necessary or
appropriate (which may include the requirement that an agreement that provides

herein shall be construed to impose upon the Trustee any obligation or duty to
furnish or distribute any Additional Information to any Person in any instance,
and the Trustee shall neither have any liability for furnishing nor for
refraining from furnishing Additional Information in any instance. The Trustee
shall be entitled (but not required) to require that any consent, direction or
request given to it pursuant to this clause (e) be made in writing.
Furthermore, the Trustee will supply to any Bondholder so requesting by
telephone the Bond Interest Rates on any Class of Bonds for the current and the
immediately preceding Interest Accrual Periods.
SECTION 7.02 Distribution of Reports to the Trustee and the Issuer;
Advances.
On or prior to each Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall furnish a
written statement (and an electronic data file reasonably satisfactory to the
Master Servicer and the Trustee) setting forth (i) the amounts available for
deposit into the Bond Account and (ii) the amounts of any P&I Advances required
to be made by the Master Servicer in connection with the related Payment Date.
The determination by the Master Servicer of such amounts shall, in the absence
of obvious error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes
hereunder and the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon the same without
any independent check or verification. To the extent such statement indicates
one or more delinquencies in connection with which a related P&I Advance was not
made by the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall commence an evaluation of whether
a P&I Advance by the Trustee may be required and whether it would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that notwithstanding such
examination, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for reviewing or
confirming any decision made with respect to a P&I Advance by a Servicer. The
Master Servicer shall promptly upon request provide to the Trustee such
information as the Master Servicer may have to enable the Trustee to make such
determination.
In the event that the Master Servicer determines as of the Business Day
preceding the Remittance Date that it will be unable to deposit in the Bond
Account an amount equal to the P&I Advance required to be made for the
immediately succeeding Payment Date, it shall give written notice to the Trustee
of its inability to advance (such written notice may be given by telecopy), not
later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Business Day, specifying the
portion of such amount that it will be unable to deposit. Not later than 4:00
P.M., New York City time, on such Remittance Date the Trustee shall, unless by
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day the Trustee shall have been notified
in writing (by telecopy) that the Master Servicer shall have directly or
indirectly deposited in the Bond Account such portion of the amount of such P&I
Advance as to which the Master Servicer shall have given notice pursuant to the
preceding sentence deposit in the Bond Account on such Remittance Date an amount
equal to such P&I Advance to the extent it determines it is not a Nonrecoverable
Advance (but not Servicing Advances) for such Payment Date; provided, however,
that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to
make such Advances, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make such
Advances.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee not shall be
required to make a Nonrecoverable Advance, and shall not be required to make a
P&I Advance with respect to a Balloon Payment. The Trustee shall be entitled to
interest on any P&I Advance made with respect to a Mortgage Loan. Such interest
shall accrue at the Advance Rate from the date on which such Advance was made to
but not including any Business Day on which the Trustee is reimbursed for such
P&I Advance pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provisions
contained herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall be reimbursed for any P&I
Advances, together with interest thereon at the Advance rate, prior to the
Servicers.
The Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant to this Section
7.02 into the Bond Account.
SECTION 7.03 Allocations of Realized Losses and Collateral Value
Adjustments.
On or prior to the fourth Business Day immediately preceding the applicable
Payment Date, the Master Servicer shall determine and communicate to the Trustee
the total amount of Realized Losses and Collateral Value Adjustment, if any,
that resulted during the related Remittance Period. As soon as practicable
following the occurrence of a Collateral Value Adjustment Event with respect to
any Mortgage Loan (taking into account the time period necessary for the Master
Servicer to obtain the Independent MAI appraisal for such purpose), the Master
Servicer shall make a Collateral Value Adjustment determination with respect to
such Mortgage Loan. The amount of each Realized Loss or Collateral Value
Adjustment shall be evidenced by an Officers' Bond. All Realized Losses and
Collateral Value Adjustments shall be allocated by the Trustee as follows in
reduction of the related Class Balance: first, to the Class F Bonds until the
Class Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; second, to the Class E Bonds
until the Class Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class D
Bonds until the Class Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the
Class C Bonds until the Class Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth,
to the Class B Bonds until the Class Balance thereof has been reduced to zero,
and the remainder of such Realized Losses and Collateral Value Adjustments to
the Class A-1 and Class A-2 Bonds, pro rata, until their respective Class
Balances have been reduced to zero. Amounts allocated to reduce the related
Class Balance shall also reduce such Class' Voting Rights in proportion to the
other Classes of Bonds.

SECTION 8.02 Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the Issuer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Issuer will keep in full effect its

qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Bonds or any of the Mortgage Loans and to
perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
The Issuer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or
transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any
Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Issuer, shall be
a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Issuer, shall be the

taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Issuer or any such Person against any breach of

performance of duties. The Issuer and any director, officer, employee or agent
thereof may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie,

unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to such Servicer by the Issuer or the Trustee, or to such
Servicer (with a copy to the Issuer, the Trustee, and the other
Servicer) by the Holders of Bonds entitled to at least 25% of the
Voting Rights of any Class affected thereby; or
(iii) any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section

the Trustee or to such Servicer (with a copy to the Issuer, the
Trustee and the other Servicer) by the Holders of Bonds entitled to at

60 days; or
(v) such Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities, or similar proceedings of, or
relating to, such Servicer or of, or relating to, all or substantially
all of the property of Servicer; or

reorganization statute, make assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vii) any notice from each Rating Agency with respect to such Servicer that
if such Servicer were to remain in such capacity, a qualification,
withdrawal or downgrade of any rating on the Bonds would result; or
(viii) any failure by the Master Servicer to make a P&I Advance required
pursuant to Sections 4.05 and 7.02 hereof;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders
of Bonds entitled to, at least 25% of all of the Voting Rights, the Trustee
shall, by notice in writing to such Servicer, with a copy of such notice to the
Issuer, subject to Section 13.12, terminate all of the rights and obligations of
such Servicer as such Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof. From and after the receipt by such Servicer of
such written notice, all authority and power of the such Servicer under this
Agreement, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this
Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered
to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the such Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise. Each Servicer agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten
Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee or another
successor Servicer designated by the Trustee with all documents and records
requested by it to enable it to assume such Servicer's functions hereunder, and
to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of such Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder. Any cost or expenses in connection with
any actions to be taken by a Servicer that is being terminated pursuant to this
Section 9.01 shall be borne by the Servicer that is being terminated and to the
extent not paid by the Servicer that is being terminated, such expense shall be
borne by the Issuer and shall not be an expense of any successor Servicer.
Subject to Section 11.01(c)(iv), for purposes of this Section 9.01, the Trustee
shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof, or unless
notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default is received by the
Trustee and such notice references the Bonds, the Issuer or this Agreement.
SECTION 9.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time a Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant
to Section 9.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to such
Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on such Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof provided, further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by such Servicer's failure to provide information or
monies required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the
Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any of the
representations and warranties of such Servicer or for any losses incurred by
such Servicer hereunder nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any
Mortgage Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled
to the servicing fees and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which such
Servicer would have been entitled to if such Servicer had continued to act
hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling
to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if the Holders of Bonds
entitled to at least more than 25% of all of the Voting Rights so request in
writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of, a loan servicing institution with (a) a net
worth at the time of such appointment of at least $15,000,000 and (b) whose
appointment will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the
rating on any Class of Bonds by any Rating Agency as evidenced in writing, to
act as a successor to such Servicer pursuant to Section 13.12 of this Agreement.
Pending appointment of a successor to such Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall
act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. The Trustee and any such successor
may agree upon the servicing compensation to be paid, which in no event may be
greater than the compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement.
SECTION 9.03 Notification to Bondholders.
(a) Upon any such termination pursuant to Section 9.01 above, any
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.02, or
any appointment of a successor Special Servicer pursuant to Section 13.12, the
Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Bondholders and each Rating
Agency at their respective addresses appearing in the Bond Register.
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any event
which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an
Event of Default and not more than five (5) days after a Responsible Officer
becomes aware of the occurrence of such event, the Trustee shall transmit by
mail to the Issuer and all Bondholders notice of such occurrence, unless such
default shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 9.04 Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights exclusive of
any Bonds owned by either the Servicer or an affiliate thereof evidenced by all
Classes of Bonds affected by any Event of Default hereunder may waive such Event
of Default; provided, however, that an Event of Default under clause (i) or
clause (viii) of Section 9.01 may be waived only by all of the Bondholders. Upon
any such waiver of an Event of Default, such Event of Default shall cease to
exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder,
except that no Event of Default under Section 9.01(viii) shall be deemed so
waived or cured unless and until the Trustee has been reimbursed in full for all
P&I Advances, together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, which it may
have made hereunder. The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
Issuer for any expenses incurred by the Trustee or successor Servicer in
connection with assuming the duties of a Servicer following the occurrence of an
Event of Default if following the termination of such Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement, the Bondholders elect to waive such Event of Default and reinstate
the terminated Servicer. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for
purposes of waiving any Event of Default pursuant to this Section 9.04, Bonds
registered in the name of the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer shall be
entitled to Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above.
SECTION 9.05 Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights
specified in Sections 9.01 and 9.02, shall have the right, in its own name and
as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect
the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Bondholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

unless a majority of the Monitoring Bondholders, by Bond Balance, or such
Directing Bondholder shall have notified the Trustee and each other Monitoring
Bondholder, in writing, of the resignation of such Directing Bondholder or the
selection of a new Directing Bondholder. Upon the resignation of a Directing
Bondholder, the Trustee shall request the Monitoring Bondholders to select a new
Directing Bondholder.

change in the identity of the related Bond Owner from time to time.

SECTION 13.12 Successor to a Servicer.
(a) The termination of any Servicer's responsibilities and duties pursuant
to Section 3.11 or Section 9.01 hereof, the Trustee shall either (i) succeed (as
of the date of such succession) to and assume all of such Servicer's
responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii)
appoint a successor that shall succeed (as of the date of such succession) to
all rights and assume all of the responsibilities and duties of such Servicer
under this Agreement. In the event that any Servicer's duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to the
aforementioned Sections, such Servicer shall discharge such duties and
responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such
termination until the effective date thereof (if such dates are not the same)
with the same degree of diligence and prudence that it is obligated to exercise
under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or
prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor, any other
Servicer. The termination of a Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective
until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 13.12 (or until
the Trustee succeeds to and assumes all of such Servicer's responsibilities
under this Agreement) and shall in no event relieve such Servicer of the
covenants, representations and warranties made herein and the remedies available
under this Agreement. The provisions of Section 3.10 hereof shall be applicable
to each Servicer, to the extent of claims against the Servicer arising out of
the Servicer's actions or failure to act prior to termination, notwithstanding
any termination of such Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement or the termination of this Agreement. A successor Servicer shall not,
by reason of its appointment or assumption of the duties and responsibilities of
another Servicer, assume any of the liabilities of such Servicer.
(b) Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Trustee and each Servicer, an instrument accepting such
appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer it is
succeeding, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this
Agreement. Any resignation or termination of a Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11
or Section 9.01 hereof shall not affect any rights or claims that any Servicer
may have with respect to or against the Issuer or another Servicer, in any case
arising prior to any such termination or resignation. The appointment of a
successor Servicer shall not be effective until the Trustee shall have received
written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such appointment will not
result in the withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of the rating on any Bond.
(c) Upon its termination or resignation, the terminated or resigning
Servicer shall immediately deliver to the successor the funds in any account
maintained by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement (net of all unpaid
Servicing Fees payable to it, and, in the case of the Master Servicer,
unreimbursed Advances advanced by it and interest on such Advances at the
Advance Rate), any Mortgage Loan Documents in such Servicer's possession and
related documents and statements held by it hereunder and such Servicer shall
account for all funds. Such Servicer shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do all such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and
definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of such Servicer. The successor
shall promptly make arrangements to reimburse such Servicer for amounts such
Servicer actually expended, unreimbursed Advances with interest at the Advance
Rate and amounts owed to such Servicer in respect of unpaid Servicing Fees and
additional servicing compensation pursuant to this Agreement that would
otherwise have been recovered by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but
for the appointment of the successor servicer, net of any amounts owed by such
Servicer hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their names to be signed
hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, in each case as
of the day and year first above written.
