Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Originator, the Collateral Custodian, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender of a breach of any of such representations and warranties that materially and adversely affects the value or enforceability of any Eligible Loan, Eligible Asset or the interests of the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent therein, any party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others; provided that for purposes of the repurchase and substitution provisions contained in this Section 3.06, a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05 shall mean that such representation or warranty was incorrect as of the date such representation or warranty was made by the Depositor or Originator, as applicable. The Originator shall within 90 days of the earlier of the Originator’s discovery or the Originator’s receiving notice of any breach of a representation or warranty, promptly cure such breach in all material respects.

Section 8.06 Servicer May Own Securities.
Each of the Servicer and any Affiliate of the Servicer may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof except as otherwise specifically provided herein.

(2) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the material covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer, contained in any Basic Document to which it is a party, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days (or, in the case of payment of insurance premiums with respect to Loans for which the Servicer is required pursuant to the Loan Documents to escrow such premiums, for a period of 15 days) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any other party hereto or to the Servicer (with copy to each other party hereto), by the Administrative Agent or Lenders holding at least 25% of the Aggregate Credit Agreement Exposure; or
(3) any breach on the part of the Servicer of any representation or warranty contained in any Basic Document to which it is a party that has a material adverse affect on the interests of any of the parties hereto or any Certificateholder and which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which notice of such breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any other party hereto or to the Servicer (with copy to each other party hereto) by the Administrative Agent or Lenders holding at least 25% of the Aggregate Credit Agreement Exposure; or
(4) a Bankruptcy Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer;
(5) so long as the Servicer or the Originator is an Affiliate of either of the Depositor or the Borrower, any “event of default” by any such party occurs under any of the Basic Documents; or
(6) CapitalSource fails to comply with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.01.
(b) Remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders Upon Servicer Event of Default. Then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, by notice in writing to the Servicer may, in addition to whatever rights such Person may have at law or in equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, on thirty days’ notice, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as servicer under this Agreement. Within a commercially reasonable time following receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Collateral or otherwise, shall, subject to Section 9.02, pass to and be vested in a successor servicer, and the successor servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Collateral and related documents.

Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of (i) an Event of Default under any of the Basic Documents, (ii) a Servicer Event of Default under this Agreement, or (iii) a Trigger Event (each, a “Term Event”), the Servicer’s right to service the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in effect for an initial period commencing on the date on which such Term Event occurred and shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the last business day of the calendar month in which such Term
- 81 -
Event occurred (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter, the Initial Term shall be extendible in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent by written notice (each, a “Servicer Extension Notice”) of the Administrative Agent for successive one-month terms (each such term ending at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the last business day of the related month). Following a Term Event, the Servicer hereby agrees that the Servicer shall be bound for the duration of the Initial Term and the term covered by any such Servicer Extension Notice to act as the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. Following a Term Event, the Servicer agrees that if, as of 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the last business day of any month, the Servicer shall not have received a Servicer Extension Notice from the Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall give written notice of such non-receipt to the Administrative Agent by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time).

CapitalSource shall have the right to reject one proposed Successor Servicer within two Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s submission and, upon such rejection CapitalSource shall have no further consent rights with respect to the appointment of any Successor Servicer. If CapitalSource shall not have rejected such proposed Successor Servicer within such two Business Day period, the Administrative Agent shall, as promptly as possible, appoint such Successor Servicer as servicer hereunder so long as such proposed Successor Servicer is acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Administrative Agent shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution,
- 82 -
having a net worth of not less than United States $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of loans and assets similar to the Loans and the Assets, as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

(c) No Authority of Servicer Upon Termination of Agreement. All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower and, without limitation, the Borrower is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Seller in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Collateral.
(d) Duties of Backup Servicer Upon Succession as Servicer. Upon the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the Servicer hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02, the Backup Servicer will promptly begin the transition to its role as Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established servicing institution as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. As compensation, any Successor Servicer so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee, together with any other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided herein that accrued prior thereto, including Transition Costs. In the event the Backup Servicer is required to solicit bids as provided herein, the Backup Servicer shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth in this Section 9.02. Such public announcement shall specify that the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the Servicing fee as servicing compensation, together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise that accrued prior thereto. Within 30 days after any such public announcement, the Backup Servicer shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder
- 83 -
to the qualified party submitting the highest qualifying bid. The Backup Servicer shall deduct from any sum received by the Backup Servicer from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances.

The Backup Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. No appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder shall be effective until written notice of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the Backup Servicer to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Backup Servicer shall have consented thereto. The Backup Servicer shall not resign as servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such appointment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, in any capacity, be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for by this Agreement.
If Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association becomes the Successor Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association shall not be required to service the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Guidelines but rather it shall be required to service the Collateral in accordance with applicable law, the Required Collateral Documents and current industry standards.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association as successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Collateral (collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”) without any audit or other examination thereof, and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exist in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability to perform servicing or for such Continued Errors; provided that Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event that Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association shall, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors.

(1) Fee Interest. Such property represents a fee ownership interest located in the United States of America.
(2) Title. Title to such property is recorded in the name of a REO Subsidiary in the applicable local land records for the jurisdiction(s) in which such property is located, and on or before the Transfer Date for such property the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence of such recordation in the form of a copy of a filed and stamped deed of title (including a torrens title certificate, if relevant).
(3) Mortgage. Such property is subject to the Lien of one or more mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or similar instruments (collectively, “REO Mortgages”) in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent securing the obligations of the REO Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the Security Documents, which Lien has been recorded in the applicable local land records for the jurisdiction(s) in which such property is located, and on or before the Transfer Date for such property the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence of such recordation in the form of a filed and stamped mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or similar instrument and which shall indicate that all recording and stamp taxes payable in connection with recording of such REO Mortgages in the appropriate local land office(s) has been paid.

(5) Title Policies.

(6) Opinion of Counsel. On or before the Transfer Date for such property, the Originator shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an opinion in form and scope satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and from counsel admitted in the jurisdiction in which
A-1-1
such property is located and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, covering the following matters:
(i) The REO Mortgage covering such property creates the lien it purports to create on such property, as security for the payment of the obligations secured by such REO Mortgage, and such REO Mortgage is in proper form for enforcement under the law of the jurisdiction in which such property is located.
(ii) Such REO Mortgage is, under the law of such jurisdiction a legal, valid and binding obligation of the REO Subsidiary, enforceable against the REO Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and except as the enforceability of such REO Mortgage is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including (a) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (b) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.
(iii) The recording of such REO Mortgage in the applicable local land office(s) (which shall be specified by such counsel), and (if applicable) the filing with respect to fixtures of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, are the only recordings or filings necessary to publish notice of and to the rights of the parties thereto, and to perfect the liens and security interests created pursuant thereto.
(iv) The exercise of remedies under such REO Mortgage (including, in the event such REO Mortgage is a deed of trust, the exercise of the trustee’s power of sale thereunder), and the foreclosure of such REO Mortgage, will not in any manner restrict, affect or impair the obligations of the REO Subsidiary with respect to the obligations secured by such REO Mortgage, or the rights and remedies of the Collateral Custodian, Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the foreclosure or enforcement of any other security interests or liens securing such obligations to the extent that any deficiency remains unpaid after application of the proceeds of such exercise or foreclosure.
(v) Except as specified in such opinion, no recording, filing, privilege, documentary stamp, intangibles or other tax must be paid in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation or enforcement of such REO Mortgage or any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements with respect to fixtures.

(b) Comprehensive General Liability Insurance insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about such property (and any

Best rating of “A+” or better and being in a financial size category of XIV or larger, or by other companies acceptable to the Required Lenders, and shall name the Collateral Custodian (on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) as loss payee (to the extent covering risk of loss or damage to tangible property) and as an additional named insured as its interests may appear (to the extent covering any other risk). Each policy referred to in this paragraph (7) shall provide that it will not be canceled or reduced, or allowed to lapse without renewal, except after not less than 30 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and shall also provide that the interests of the Collateral Custodian, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be invalidated by any act or negligence of the Borrower or any Person having an interest in such property nor by occupancy or use of any such property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by such policy nor by any foreclosure or other proceedings relating to such property. The Servicer will advise the Administrative Agent promptly of any policy cancellation, reduction or amendment.

For purposes hereof, the term “Peril” means, collectively, fire, lightning, flood, windstorm, hail, earthquake, explosion, riot and civil commotion, vandalism and malicious mischief, damage from aircraft, vehicles and smoke and all other perils covered by the “all risk” endorsement then in use in the jurisdictions where such property is located.

Such property shall at all times be maintained in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted so as to avoid a diminution of the Value of such property after the Transfer Date for such property (excluding any diminution resulting from changes resulting from a reduction in market value of such property).
